trade Ni'ages; have g6lerally been uniform-
ly the same. It is the lowest line of manufaCture
we have in-our districts ; the average is. perhaps
about twelve shillings per man.
Do you mean, that by the lowest line of busi-
ness in your districts, that it is that in which the
Wages have been reduCed to the lowest ?,-;--Yes-;
they arc so low that a man can scarcely exist ; it
is made out by the benevolence of the public.
Have they not been at a very low state uniform-
ly and for a long 'time past %--It has always been
a low trade ; it is that sort of employment that
generally the paupers have been put apprentice to
from parishes.
Is the Committee to understand that this is the
reason assigned by you why the diminution in the
rate of wages has been smaller in that trade than
in others ?—No doubt of it,.
Do yint wart to say that the Wages before the.
late and present distresses were in that line of
trade so low that the workmen could scarcely sub-
sist upon them if they were lower ?—I am per-
suaded not.

What used formerly to he the number
_of hours•
during which the workmen were employed in this
line ?—They would generally work from twelve to
fourteen hours.
From what hour in the morning to what hour
in the evening i---From, about five to eight.
What are the hours during which they now work
in the same line ?—I should•suppose not less than

sixteen.
Do they earn quite as much as they used to do ?
—The neighbourhood of Dudley was very much
oppresse with their situation, and a general meet-
ing was called about twelve months ago -to raise.
the wages, which was done ,• but since that, the
trade has so much decreased that . they have re-
duced it to about the original standard.
,The witness was confirmed in this part of his
evidence by the testimony of 3.VIr. Whitehouse.
He stated, that the nail trade is carried on in the
vicinity of Birmingham from eight to ten miles ;
but that the manufactories of" _Birmingham were a
completely different thing, as they are very exten-
sive in the manufactures of buttons and brass work
of every decription, and all kinds of iron goods
suitable for buildings, andvery generally in the
plated way, plated saddlery particularly. In these
lines of business the wages differ according to the
different engagements of the men ; a button-
burnisher would get from forty to fifty . shil-
lings a week ; a very capital hand in 'the plated
line would get the same; bUt a man in an inferior
situation would get perhaps from -twenty-five
to thirty shillings ;. but they
.do not now get cum-
half ; their daily wages are the same, 'but they 'are
not one-half of their time employed. 'The.num-
ber of labouring men in Birminghath, who are
thus for half the week thrown out-of employment
might be from twenty thousand to twenty-five
thousand at least.
distressei of the viorktnen are universal in
Birmingham, and even the • manufacturers htive
found it necessary to obtain advances froni bankers
and merchants. If no favourable change should
speedily happen in their affairs, in the course two
months, necessity wi.l oblige them to dismiss at
least two parts out of three ; and some of them
must dismiss the whole, for they cannot go on.
With respect to the state of the export trade to
America, the examination is as follows :
You have stated, that your own particular nue
of trade is that of a merchant exporter to Ameri-
ca, in what state is that export trade which you
carry on to America ?---In general Birthingham
manufactures.
You are an exporter .of Birminghath manufac-
tures to America ?—Yes.

—.......
~ , export ..
in what state is that eort of Birmingham
manufactures at the present ?-4t
.is worse than
ever, for we have bat very large sums in the
warehouses at Liverpool, and have had frOin
twelve to fifteen thanths, which are totally unap-

propriated.
liy totally unanropriated, do you mean goods
for whiCh there is no demand ?7--We have the
orders", and our connexions would receive them
very readily, but they cannot be shipped.
Goods which it is impossible to dispose of ?
',They will not be receiyed in the. United States.
At what time did the shipments to America be.
gin to fall .off ?
We shiliped in .0e whole of the year 1807 ;
and in 1808-we shipped nothing comparatively.
Did you ship during the whole of 1807 as usual
in former years ?--Yes.
Did you experience any falling off in your ship-
ments in the, year 1807 ?—None they had been
progressive for many years.
. And these shipments regularly proceeded in an
increase ?—Regularly so.
Was it a trade which kept steadily increasing ?
. —Nothing more uniform ; we coUldalways anti-
cipate what would suit the market before the or-
ders came; and that enabled us to keep the lower
orders in the vicinity of the town alwßys employed.
Was this trade not only steady, and one which
could he regularly calculated upon, but steadily
increasing ?—Perfectly so. •
Has it been so ever since you can recollect ?
Yes, it has.
Up to 1808 ?—Yes, up to 1808.
In this trade used the American's forMerly, a
great number of years back, to lie under the sus-
picion of being had payers ?—Perhaps twenty
years ago they were very much behindhand ; but
they have progessively improved every year.
Formerly, about twenty years ago, they were
very much behind hand in that particular ?..--Yes.
Was not it at that time difficult to get money
out of their hands ?—Yes.
Was there any such thing at those times as
Americans preferring ready money' payments for
the discount ?---hardly ; I do not recollect an in-
stance so long back, as' that.-
Since that tithe. how has the 'American trade
been in the sanie particulars ?—Within. these
seven years it his materially altered.
Confining your attention to the period before
.1808, do you mean to state that the Americans
have very greatly improved in paying ?—They
have improved in a considerable degree every year.
In 1807, for example, was there any difficulty
in obtaining payMent for the shipments that were
, sent -to America ?—No.

Were the Americans as good pay nasters a; mil;
other dealers ?--Much better than some other.
parts.
Were they as good as the common run of tii"
foreign countries with whom this country did bu-
siness ?--I cannot speak precisely to. the German
trade, because I never was in it, but they paid'
the best of any that I have ever- had connexion
_with. . . .
, .
In 1808, in what state were the shipments tar
America i—There was nothing don compara

tively.
Nothing done, either at spring.or fall ?—No.;
thing done the wholeyear.? •
In 1809, after Mr.,.Erskine'sarrangeinent, was
there any business done- to America ?=-Yes, we
had a considerable fall shipment in 1809.
In 1810, was there any lspring or fall ship-
ment ?—No spring shipment; but a very coast.--
derable fall shipment." :
Was there any difficulty in receiving payment
for that shipment,?—None. -
. Was the payment for that as good as to any.
other quarter ?-IVluch bate?' than we had had.
at any time even withAhe AineriCans:
. In payment for:these goods;• did the Amerioans
ever prefer taking the discount for ready money ?
a great many instances they preferred pay--
ing ready money and taking the discount, remit-
ting on what we call the arrival.
In order to avail themselves of the. discount ?
—Yes. •
In 1811, in what state was this trade with
America ?—We have done nothing, I believe ;:-a".
few partial shipments were made, buy it was con-
sidered a high speculation, and by the law of the
United States they ought to have been seized,
but a law was made in order to admit them.
Have You done any businest to America since
Feb. 1811 ?—None.
Turn your attention to the exports to Canada,
and the rest of British America ; can you tell
whether those exports. have been considerable
since the year 1807 ?—They have very materially
varied ; in the year 1808, during the American
Embargo, there were considerable shipments made
there with the hope 'of smuggling them into the
-United States, and I believe there were some
sent to some other islands, but that was the
principal mart.
By smuggled into the American States, do ~.,tott
not mean run into the United States in spite of
the American laws ?—Yes, surely.
Did this speculation succeed to any consider-
able extent believe it was very considerable.
