THE RIBBON TRADE OF COVENTRY.

(From the Coventry Herald.)
Thursday a meeting of the ribboitemt.nulartturers of ti.i4
city was held at the Castle Inn, when a men-mitt to the
Board of Trade was unanimously ado;:t d, asserting in a
forcible manner the unequal eompeti!ion of th.- English
with the French manufacturers, the ruinous t:Tect of the
virem to the capital of the manufacturer, and the state
of destitution to which the operative weavers are rehitc•d„
end praying for an inquiry into the subject, with a view
to the reenactment of the prohibitory hue, under whons
protecting shield the silk trade of this country formerly in-
creased and flourished to so large an extent. A deputation,
consisting of the following gentlemen, Mr. W. Brunskill, Mr.
T. Cope, Mr. C. Bankes, Mr. C. R.treiiff, Mr. A. Cheeper,
Mr. T. Brown, and Mr. S. Hamel! (hy whom the me-
morial was prep-teed), was then appointel to present the
same, and were instructed to make an application to the
Board of Trade for a return of the prohibitory system.
Resolutions have been adopted at a meeting of weavers,
and a petition founded thereon. In this petition are
shown the comparative amount of poor-rates in this city
and at Foleshill, previous to and since the introduction of
French ribbons, and from which it appears that, the
amount is nearly doubled in the present year, of which but
ten months are included.

Within the last few days a letter his been received by
a gentleman in this city, from our Member, Mr. Bulwer,
stating his ardent desire to cooperate with the manufac-
turers and artizens connected with the ribbon trade, in
promoting any measure to secure to the operative weaver
a just remuneration for his labour, and the manufacturer
for the capital he employs. A letter from :Mr. Ellice has
been produced by a printed hand-bill, addressfd to the WCII..
era of Coventry, and which having I.e.in forwarded to
Mr. Ellice, with an anonymous na!e, calling upon 11.1 m to
declare his views of this subject, that giintl:man has re-
plied, avowing his opinion that no return to the rrobibi
tory system can or will be made by Government ; bit at
the same time he says, " I ant willing and most anxious t 0
promote, by any means in my power, an inquiry into the
causes of the existing distress, with a ricv to the sogges-
tion of such remedies as may appear praetit,ally applicable
in the case," and that " I am ready, and shall be most
happy to join the manufacturers in any plan for the tem-
porary relief of the poor from the intense distress of the
present moment."

It is now said that Mr. PEPYS has been ap-
pointed Chief Judge of the Bankruptcy Ctiurt.

THE PRIVILEGE OF DYING.---At a meet-
ing of the bilked Bible Society on Tuesday, the Earl or
ItorrEN presided, and in tha course of his sp,ech, or rather
sermon, said—" He believed the times Were at hand when

terians, wculif be put on the defence far their Protestant
principles! ! and be had no hesitation in saying, Chat it

instance, he said, of what hut memory ea,.t: was, he re-
lated the following remarkable circumstance. Ilia (rind,
slr. Thomas Camrea:Ln, called upon him cne cvening,
to chew him the manuscript of a poetti he had written—
The Pleasures of Hope. Sir WA LT E. It 1% appened to
have some fine old whiskey in the pause, fircl his friend
ast down and had a tun:blur or two of punch. Mrs

would dip into the, manuscript before goiniz to be 1. He
opened it, read, cud lead again—cllara with the classi-
cal grace, purity, and stateliness, of that finest of all our
moriern didactic poems. Next morning Mr. Caarrezr.t.
again called, when, to his inexpressible surinie, his hien&
on returning the manuscript to its ownor, said he should
