IN THE MANUFAC-
TURING DISTRICTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—The number of
,per-sons out of employment in
the manufacturing districts I believe far exceeds the con-
ceptions of those who da -not live among them ; and to
me it is perfectly astonishing how they subsist.
Some arc on the parish ; some depend upon their
friends ; many, for - a time, live upon the clothes and
furniture which they,• pWge Loot a few are tramping
the country ; great numbers be, ; and some are impelled
by necessity to do worse. What I am anxious to see
done is, to take the census of the unemployed, and for
every town to form a committee to enrol the names and
trades of all who are out of work. So long as these un-
fortunate men skulkin obscurity, and move oosely about
the country, they will make no impression upon the
higher classes or the Government ; but let them form
themselves, in every town and district, into united bodies,
let their numbers lyt published, and let them have regular
meetings for the purpose of stating their distress. There
are clever men in every department who can take the lead,
and their valueless time had better be spent in a way
likely to bring their condition prominently before the
public. I am, &c.,
A FRIEND TO THE UNEMPLOYED.

REGISTRATIONS,
TO BOROUGH AND CITY ELECTORS.
The next General Election (should there be one)
within 15 months) will virtually commence on Sunday
next, that being the day on which the Overseers publish
the list of voters for the ensuing year.
Every Reformer, should, therefore, prepare for the
contest by carefully attending to the registration. Ist.
He should see that the Overseers publish their lists on
all the Churches and Chapel doors on the Ist and Bth of
August, their wilfully neglecting to do so rendering them
liable to a penalty of 5001. 2dly. He should examine
those lists either next Sunday or the following Sunday,
or at the residence of an Overseer any day before the
15th of August, which any person may do without the
payment of any fee. He should see that his name, qua-
lification, and place are correctly described, and having
ascertained if the names of any persons, who he believes
to be entitled to be on such list, have been omitted, he
should induce them to claim to be registered on or before
the 25th of August ; for this purpose the Reform Act
prescribes a form of claim which should be adopted, viz.
A CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED.

TILE TORNADO.—In North Danvers, the storm
was very violent. Many barns and other light buildings
were blown over. A new house in Danvers was move
upon the underpining several inches, and two of its chim-
neys were blown down. In Wenham, and in Upper
Beverly and Danvers, twenty-nine barns were destroyed ;
one of them in Beverly, had just been built, at a cost of
about a thousand dollars. In Boxford, a dwelling house
and barn were blown down. Several barns were also
destroyed in Middleton. In Topsfield there was a per-
fect tornado, a sort of young typhoon. In the south part
of the town, several barns were blown down. One, be-
longing to a Mr. Gifford, was demolished while he and
his two sons were in it. . Mr. G. was severely hurt, and
one of his sons was injured by a blow upon his head from
a falling timber. Some of the hail stones which fell in
Topsfield in the afternoon, measured six and a half inches
in circumference. On the road from Topsfield to Dan-
vers Plains, trees were prostrated in great numbers. A
sound oak, a foot in diameter, was literally twisted off a
short distance from the ground, and the bark peeled al-
most entirely from the trunk. In Marblehead, the wind
was stronger ; one barn, perhaps not far from the water,
was blown clean away, and has not been found since.
The Providence Journal states that at Woonsocket great I
damage was done by the hail to the windows. One fac-
tory had 150 panes of glass broken, another 200. In
Providence on the same afternoon, a house occupied by
0. Waterman and S. T. Taber, was struck with light-
' ning, doing considerable damage, but none of the in-
' mates were severely injured. The storm was very violent
at Amhert, N. H. Wind, thunder, lightning and hail
seemed to vie with each other in their terrific power and
sublimity. In five minutes -not a single pane of glass re-
mained in the window exposed to the storm. The hail
stones were of very large size, some of them measuring
from five to six inches in circumference—and driven by
the wind, struck with tremendous force. In many cases,
window blinds and even the roofs were smashed. The
vein of hail was not very large in extent—from four to
five miles ; but made clear work wherever it went."—
