DISTRESSED CONDITION OF
THE HAND-LOOM WEAVERS.
PUBLIC TEA PARTY IN MAI:CHESTER.
MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY.—Last evening a public
tea party took place in the Corn Exchange, in this place,
in aid of the distressed hand-loom weavers. Upwards 0:
500 ladies and gentlemen sat down under the Presider cy
of John Brooks, Esq., Alderman. There are up-
wards of 7,000 hand-loom weavers in this town and the
suburbs ; of these fully one-third are entirely without
employ ; another third are only partially employed ;
and the utmost earnings of those in full employment do
not exceed 7s. per week. At the late Ministerial Confe-
rence in this town, it was fully demonstrated thrt the
distress of this unfortunate class of men was immensely
aggravated, if not originated, by the operation of the
cruel restrictions on the importation of corn. This fact
being clearly established, great weight has been added
to the arguments of the advocates for a free trade in corn.
Amongst the company present were—Sir Thomas
Potter ; James Curtis, Esq., of Ohio, United States ; D.
Ainsworth, Esq., Boroughreeve of Manchester ; the
Reverends D. Nearne, W. Gadsby, J. W. Massie, &c.,
&c. After the cups " which cheer, but not inebriate,"
had circulated for about an hour, under the brilliant
auspices of a galaxy of Lancashire witches, the cloths
were drawn, and the following hymn was sung by the
whole of the company :
" Great God, to thee, and thee alone
4 Our country's woes are fully known:
The most severe, and widely spread,
• Are want of work, and want of bread.
"Both might abound throughout the land, •
If men obey'd Thy jnst command ;
But there are those, our island's shame,
Who by a 1.2 w their mischief frame.

coal sixteen times the size of the whole of England ; in
one State alone there was more coal than was equal to
the whole of England. They had one bed of coal which
extended nine hundred miles in length ; the
state of Pennsylvania alone contained six times as
much coal as the whole of England. And they
had not to descend into the bowels of the earth, as in Eng-

land, to get it ; it lay above the level of the streams.
They had only to penetrate the hill side and take it out.
without lifting it at all, and in many cases it was pushed
directly down into the furnace where it had to be burnt,
without being hoisted at all. They had got many ad-
vantages of that kind which it was not necessary to
enumerate ; but to show Englishmen that the only way
of competing with America was to render agriculture a
profitable employment, he would state that America
could not only supply herself, but could compete with
this country in all the markets of the world. At the pre-
sent moment she was competing with England in almost
every market from her own shores to China, and she was
doing this at a profit, a profit which was constantly in-
creasing. The magic of all that was the cheap bread of
America. We were forcing the Americans into an em-
ployment which they never would have sought had it not
been for the Corn-laws of England.—(Cheers.) It was
no wonder that these restrictions had caused a harsh
feeling towards England,. and an alineation in the minds
of the two nations—that instead of assisting and sustain-
ing each other, as the two branches of the Anglo-Saxon
race, they should look upon each other as rivals, and be
ready to injure each other. This certainly was not a
position of two nations related as they were.—
(Hear, hear.) The population of America was now
17,000,000. At this rate of increase, it would,
in ten years, be 22,000,000 ; in twenty years
it would be 30,000,000; in thirty years it would be
40,000,000 ; in forty years it would be 53,000,000; at the
close of the present century it would be 95,000,000 ;
and in the course of a hundred years, 300,000,000.—
(Applause.) The trade, at the same rate at which it
was now carried on between the two countries, would
then amount to something like I,soo,ooo,oool.—(cheers.)
It was perfectly evident, that if England wanted em-
ployment—if she wanted wealth—she should by all
means cultivate her trade with the West. She was
placed upon the western frontier of Europe ; and if she
wished to secure that trade—to become the mart for the
trade between the New World and the Old, she might
do so. There was an abundance of employment in con-
nection with this, not only for the present population of
England, but all that she might produce. Let any per-
son go into calculation, if he pleased, taking the date
which America gave him, and which he could find in
England, and he must come to the conclusion that, upon
the system of free trade, every individual born in Eng-
land could have full employment and plenty of bread,
without leaving his native shores. •
Sir T. POTTER then addressed the meeting, and be-
fore sitting down made a donation of 151.
The Rev. WM. GADSET next addressed the meeting,
and proposed a subscription to aid the funds which this
meeting was intended to raise, and recommended that
the plate should go round the head table first, and the
amount be announced, for the encouragement of the rest
of the company ; and
The CHAIRMAN announced, when the collection had
been completed, that it amounted to 501. 19s.—(The
announcement was received with cheers.)
Mr. FINNIGAN, a hand-loom weaver, next addressed
the meeting. The hand-loom weavers, more than any
other class, were in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws,
and the reason was, because they were the first to feel
the sword of competition the Corn-laws had brought to
bear upon them. In 1812 the price of wheat was 1225.
Bd. the quarter. The hand-loom weavers had then for
one description of work 118. for 24 yards ; for another
description they had 20s. for the 24 yards ; for another
description they had 16s. for the 24 yards. Well, in 1813
the price of wheat fell from 1225. Bd. to 106 s. 6d., and
one of the descriptions of work alluded to rose two shil-
lings, another two shillings also, and the third kind was
reduced two shillings ; the first because the demand had
increased, and the last was occasioned by a failing
of the demand ; showing that it is the demand that re-
gulates wages aad not the price of food. In 1814 the
price of wheat fell to 725. Id., and immediately there
was a rise in the price of wages ; the hand-loom weaver
who earned in 1813, 135., was enabled to obtain for the
same work 20s ; the weaver who earned 225. in 1813, ob-
tained for the same work 325.; and those who in 1813
had been reduced from 16m. to 145., were raised to 265.
No sooner had Prosperity Robinson's Corn Bill been
passed than the hand-loom weavers' wages tumbled
down, and had been graduallyodecreasing ever since.
Ancl this was simply because the law said you shall not
increase the surplus produce of your hand-loom weavers
for the surplus produce of foreign soils.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. MASSIE announced that the collection amounted
to 751. 7s. 9d. In addition to this, there were the profits
from tea, calculated at 251. ; donations in the hands of
Mr. Gadsby, 101.; making a total of 1101. 7s. 9d.
The party then separated.

Regardless of the poor they live ;
Their pride and folly, Lord forgive ;
May they be wise, to know betimes,
The signs of these eventful times.

" With pity view the sons of need.;
O Lord, arise, their cause to plead ;
Break thou the proud oppressor's rod,
Arid show thyself the righteous God.
"We meet this night that we may aid
Those who in deep distress are laid ;
We meet to pledge ourselves anew,
Our glorious object to pursue.

" Nor will we pause, nor will we rest,
Till these, our wrongs, have been redress'd ;
On thee, 0 God, the poor man's friend,
Our hopes rely—deliverance send."
The CHAIRMAN, after alluding to the very great extent
of the distress which prevailed, observed that no good
could be done without going to the root of the evil. For
his own part he had thrown away party distinctions; he
was for free trade, which would go to the root of the evil,
and nothing else.—(Applause.)
The Rev. J. W. MessiE announced that donations to
the amount of about 141. had been received for the cause

of the hand-loom weavers, and that many of the expenses
attending the tea party had been gratuitously defrayed.
He related an instance which he had heard from one of

the registrars in the town, of a weaver having died a few
days ago from literal want of food, and mentioned se-
veral other cases of extreme distress. He stated that the

memorial from the Ministerial Conference had been pre-
sented to the Queen last Monday, and that her Majesty
had directed it to be stated that she had graciously re-

ceived it. Had its presentation not taken place till she
was surrounded by a band of monopolists, a very different
answer would have been returned.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. DANIEL NEARNE stated that in one street

alone in his neighbourhood last week, twenty-six fami-
lies out of thirty houses rose in the morning without
knowing where to get a morsel of food. Unless God
changed the hearts of our rulers, it was impossible to
conceive how the winter was to be got over. The
hand-loom weavers who, in 1835, with corn at 365. per
quarter received ss. 9d. a cut, now, when corn was at
695., only got 2s. 91. a cut.--(Hear, hear.) The increase
of sickness in the town was frightful to contemplate.
On his way down to that meeting he had visited three
persons who were suffering from English cholera in its
worst form.

JAMES CURTIS, Esq., of Ohio, United States, said he
was inclined to think that that pity and that charity.

which the hand-loom weavers would most value, would

be that which would put men's hadds into their pockets
in the first place, and in the next place that which would
devise some sort of means for bringing them out of their
difficulties ; for he could not bring himself to believe
that a class of Englishmen, so numerous as the hand-loom

weavers, would wish to depend on charity.—(Applause.)
In the hymn that had been sung, they had stated
their greatest want to be " want of work and want
of bread ;" they wished, by the labour of their own
hands, to support themselves in that independence
which was one of the first characteristics of English -
men.—(Cheers.) It was capable of the most perfect de-
monstration that the hand of private charity never could
relieve the constant wants of a suffering community, in
which the population exceeded the producing limits of
the land in which they lived. He would propose, not
any theory, but simply a practical plan. England had
been very fond of colonizing ; why could she not be re-
lieved by it ? In Russia an near the shores of the
Black Sea there was a great corn-growing country, im-
mense plains spread out, where corn could be grown very
cheap. Why should not. a large number of individuati,
who wanted work, go to those fertile, corn-growing
plains, and raise all the wheat we needed ? All they
wished for in return was simply to be paid for their
work, and he presumed we should do that. It was pro-
bable, too, the Emperor of Russia would be very
glad to have Englishmen come as his subjects to
raise bread in his country. and would give them some
privileges. Er.gland had an abundance of capital
which might be laid out in the construction of canals
and other means of conveyance for the corn to be
thus raised. If Englishmen were so numerous, why
should they not go to the land where wheat might be
raised in abundance ? He did not know any exact an-
swer to this, except that the experiment had been tried
before. Something like two hundred years ago, Eng-
land had sent out a great number of her citizens to a far
distant land, a corn-growing land ; the population of that
colony now amounted to seventeen millions of souls ; and
one would suppose that that was enough of the Anglo-
Saxon race to supply food for those who remained be-
hind. What was the reason, in a land which could
raise more and better wheat than the plains of Moldavia
or Russia, that the great tide of emigration which had
already gone out could not supply the portion who re-
mained behind ? If there was any power at all in colo-
nization to supply the home wants of this island, why
could not the immense colonization already effected by
England furnish that supply ?—(Hear, hear.) Not
only had they sent out seventeen millions of people
to North America, but those men had actually raised
the bread, and get it ready to send to us ; our
kindred across the water had done this.—(Hear, hear.)
In the colonization which had been carried on, we had
one of the strongest proofs history could furnish of the
over-ruling providence of God, for the very hour when
this island was filled with inhabitants who wanted bread,
those colonists, whom we had sent abroad, or who, in
the good providence of God, had been led abroad, had
the very supplies we needed.—(Hear, hear.) And if
they were kept away from us, the blame ought not to
be attributed to Providence ; he had furnished a supply
for all the wants of all mankind ; it ought to be attri-
buted to the folly or ignorance of man.—(Cheers.) In
America there was, at the present moment, an abun-
dant supply of food for the whole of England. If the
amount which America could send abroad at this mo-
ment were brought to England, there would be enough
for every Englishman. And if there was an open trade,
the very articles which England had to sell and wished
to exchange for that food, were those which America
wished to receive in return.—(Cheers.) But it should
be borne in mind that the supply at present
in hand in North America was not the
same that it would have been had there been a regular
trade between this country and America. It was not to
he supposed that individuals descended from those intel-
ligent, enterprising men, who emigrated from foreign
climes, would pile up their wheat to rot in their own
granaries, when they had no market for it. If they
found there was no market abroad, they would produce
abundance for the home market, to be sure ; they would
turn their attention to other matters than raising wheat
to rot ; if they did not, Englishmen would disown them.
—(Applause.) In considering the ability of America to
supply this country with food, it should be remembered
that she had an immense territory, an abundance of land
of the greatest fertility ; it therefore became the interest
of America to abandon all things else in favour of the
cultivation of the soil, agriculture being the most profit-
able employment—the production of the raw material
and of food, to feed and clothe mankind.—(Applause.)
If she could derive from abroad the other supplies she
needed, the principal employment in America would be
agriculture ; it would be her natural and most profitable
employment. But the course of England—America's most
natural market—had been to refuse to suffer Americans to
carry forward their agricultural employment with any
profit ; she had forced them, in fact, into manufacturing
and supplying all those wants which an agricultural po-
pulation felt ; and, at the present time, this course being
continued, America was, to a very great extent, supply-
ing her own wants. The manufacturers there manufac-
tured at a profit; because, by this course, agriculture
was reduced to a level with the profits of manufacturers,
and the two classes of employment were on a level, or
something like it. But let England once offer to take,
at a fair price, the agricultural produce of America, and
they should immediately restore their agriculture to that
natural advantage which it had in that country, from
the cheapness and abundance of land ; and the manufac-
turers would, at once, turn their attention to the more
4 profitable employment.—(Applause.) If Englishmen
wished to compete with American manufacturers,
the only way to do it was to render agriculture
in that land a more profitable employment.—(Hear,
hear.) It was not by undertaking to shut out
their manufactures, or anything else ; but, if Eng-
land wished to break up the manufactures of America,
the very way was to take as much as she possibly could
of the agricultural produce of America.—(Applause.)
The commerce of America at present nearly, equalled
that of Great Britain, and it was rapidly advancing upon
the latter. The American tonnage consisted of about
two millions—that of England was something larger—not
a great deal. America, at the present time, manufac-
tured something like 100 million of dollars' worth more
than the whole of the manufactured exports of Great
Britain. America exported one-fourth, or little more
than that, of the whole amount of what England carried
into it.—(Applause.) Not to refer to particular articles,
he would point out some advantages which America had
for manufacturing. In the first place, they had the raw
material in hand ; in the next place, they had an im-
mense moving power, their water ; and if they did not
wish to resort to that, they had an abundance of coals
spread over the country. Some individuals seemed to
suppose that that was a peculiar advantage which Eng-
land possessed. The United States possessed fields of

per cwt.
FOREIGN.-To-day the market was firm, and the de-
mand steady ; the public sales consisted of 1,481 bxs
yellow Havannah, 57 chests 700 brls white and 63 chests
305 brls brown Pernambuco ; the former all sold at stiff
prices ; fine strong yellow fetched 23s to 245, good 21s
641 to 22s 6d, mid 21s, and washed 18s 6d to 20s 6d. The
Pernams only partly found buyers at is decline, the
quality being indifferent, mid and good mid soft white
'went at 22s to 23s 6d, low 20s to 21s 6d, fine brown 16s
to 17s, good 15s to 15s 6d, damp white 17s 6d to 225,
brown 13s Gd to 16s 6d per cwt.
MOLASSES.-The market for West India has been in
a quiet state, and rat her lower rates have been submitted
to, only 100 puns ord to fair quality at 21s to 245. Of
Foreign some parcels have been sold at 6s 9d to 7s
per cwt.
COFFEE.-The market for East India and Cape sorts
has assumed a quiet aspect, still holders are firm, and
nothing is pressing for sale. Java has been taken spa-
ringly by private treaty, but prices are without change.
Padang has moved off slowly. In Mocha there has been
little passing. Of Cuba, 65 casks at public sale were
bought in at 85s for middling. Foreign Coffee
is held for late rates, and St. Domingo is wanted
at 40s to 40s 6d, but few parcels are to be met with.
The better sorts of Havannah, Cuba and Laguayra,
have been sought after, but the supply is small ;
for common kinds there are few purchasers. For
Brazil the demand has been dull, and the whole of the
sound of 3,175 bags Rio at public sale was taken in, low
good ordinary dingy mixed at 40s to 41s, good ordinary
even 42s to 435, and a few lots fine ordinary 445, being
full rates ; sea damaged, however, of which about half
the quantity offered consisted, all sold, first class at 38s
to 41s 6d, second 36s 6d to 38s, and third 35s to 37s per
cwt. The stock and importations are smaller than last
year. For public sale on Tuesday 800 bags Brazil, and
for Wednesday 4,250 bags Laguayra are declared.
This afternoon the market was quiet, and privately
few purchases were made, either for home use or export,
but holders were firm, and obtained full rates for the
parcels offered at auction, which consisted of 100 casks
West India, and 50 casks Rio ; the former sold at 90s to
95s for fine and fine ordinary, and ordinary to good
ordinary 69s to 83s per cwt ; the latter fetched 40s for
good ordinary.
COCOA.-Prices have been supported for West India,
and a fair demand has existed by private contract : none
has been offered at public sale. Foreign is held for late
rates, but little business has been done. To-day at public
sale 21 bags Para were sold at 39s 6d for good red.
PROVISIONS.-The Bacon market is firm, and a good
demand has prevailed for parcels landed, prime meat has
realized 62s to 645, and heavy 58s to 61s per cwt.;
on board however there has been little business done.
Middles have been in good demand, tierce at 56s to 58s.
Lard has sold freely, prime biaddered at 74s to 78s. Hams
have been in fair request, Irish at 54s to 74s per cwt.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The sales have been
160 puns ; proofs at 2s to 2s Id, 5 per cent. over 2s 3d,
7 over 2s 4id per gallon. East India has been in fair
request at firm rates. The private sales were 150
hogsheads Calcutta at Is 7d proof ; it public sale, 13
puncheons 121 hogsheads sold, viz. in puncheons 23
over at is 11d a is 1 lid, hogsheads 19 a 33 over
Is lld to 2s 3d, being equal to is 7d proof. In our
monthly table of stocks 1,080 puns 4,550 hhds con-
sists of East India, and 287 puncheons 46 hogsheads
Foreign. Cognac, first brands, of the vintage of 1836,
has been disposed of, hogsheads 5s 9d, and puncheons
Ss 7d ; 1837, hhds 5s 6d, puns 5s 4d ; 1838, hhds 5s 4d,
puns 5s 2d ; 1839, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ' • 1840, hhds
35 9(1, puns 3s 7d per gallon. Geneva is held firmly,
and a fair demand has existed ; common has realized
2s id to 2s 2d, and fine 2s 7d to 2s 9d. British Corn
Spirits are held for lOs 4d cash, but the demand has been
less active.
TEA.-The telegraphic despatches received on Wed-
nesday, produced much stir in the Tea market, and
prices advanced ld to lid per lb. Free trade was in good
request both for consumption and speculation; and com-
mon Congou produced 2s 2d to 2s 3d per lb cash. In the
speculative market a considerable business was tran-
sacted; Company's Congou fetched 2s 4d to 2s 4id cash;
but, since that day, the demand has abated. The stock
of Tea at this port is reduced to 24,000,0001bs: in the
kingdom it does not exceed 28,000,0001b5.
To-day there was a sudden and complete panic in the
Tea Market, produced by the accounts received by a ship
arrived off the coast from Singapore, bringing papers to
the 20th April, from China, stating that several vessels
had sailed with Tea ; that trade was going on, and that
Captain Elliot had issued a favourable proclamation to
the Chinese people, who appeared to be well-disposed to-
wards the English; the market, in consequence, for all kinds
of Tea has become very uncertain, and prices have suf-
fered a decline of 4d per lb ; sales of Company's Congou
were made at is 11d, cash ; but for free trade Tea it is
impossible to give accurate quotations for the want of
transactions, and prices for the present must be regarded
as nominal.
This afternoon the market partially recovered from the
panic which prevailed in the early part of the day, and
prices are rather firmer, still buyers were cautious in
their operations, and 2s Old to 2s Oid were the closing
prices on 'Change for Company's Congou, cash. In Free
Trade we did not hear of any sales, and prices must still
be regarded as little better than nominal.
RICE.-The market for Bengal Rice has presented a
tranquil appearance this week. Bona-fide consumption
has been limited, although no actual reduction can be
quoted in prices ; yet holders have been more desirous
to realize, there having been large arrivals ; middling
white at 10s Gd to Ils ' • good middling to good lls 6d
