yesterday fur India, touching in her way, at St. Michael's, Madeira,
and the Cape of Good Hope, appeared to weigh very reluctantly

and adverse winas at a late hour last evening, but this morning
the windy being fro►n the eastwar►t at an early hour, is wafting her

MANCHESTER, AUGUST 3.

(FROM A CORIMPONDINT.)
The general opinion here now is, that the crisis of the present
embarrassments of the manufacturing interests in this country is
over. Within the last few days, two factories have recommenced
operations, and othere are expected shortly to follow their example.
It is now generally believed, that the meeting of the inhabitants,
which was so generally spoken of during the last few weeks, will
not take place. The result of an application which was this day
made to the Churchwardens, will, in all probability be the last
attempt to get' ifp such a meeting. Mr. .1. Potter and Mr. R.
Potter waited this morning upon the Churchwardens with the
Requisition, a copy of which appeared in your Paper last week.
Since that period the number of signatures to it has increased to
123. The numea attached to it are principally manufacturers and
tradesmen, and include some respectable persons. In about an
hour after the deputation called upon the Churchwardens, the fol-
lowing answer was sent to the latter :
Churchwardens' Office, August 3, 1826.
GENTLestxx,—The ol►jects contained in the requisition (so
numerously and respectably signed), presented to us this clay, not
being on parochial business, we consider it out of our province to
call a Meeting of the Leypayers of the town, and therefore re-
spectfully beg leave to decline it.
We have the honour to he,
Gentlemen, your humble servants,
(Signed). RICHARD CLOGG.

Some opinion of the state of trata between Manchester and
Liverpool maybe fanned by the accounts of the New Quay Com-
pany :--

" The profits of the Company, in the six months ending with the
close of the last year, were 2,1001. ; in the six months ending with
June last, they are only 938/. Where 200 tons were sent eighteen
months ago, 40 tons are with difficulty obtained now. The Corn-
pany,hiul eighteen flats, four of which are laid up, and two are
acting as quarantine vessels at Liverpool. Those which are in
employment are never fully laden. Since the depression of. the
