At the Dumfries market, on Wednesday sennight,
a serious riot took place in consequence of the refusal
of one Robert Clerk, a meal-monger, to sell meal at
the established prices. The houses of many other
meal-mongers in Maxwell Town, paid the penalty of
his obstinacy, and it was with no slight difficulty, dist
the tumult was ultimately appeased.

[THE TIMES.]

We have 'big little positive information in the way
of facts to communicate from Manchester, or the Other
suffering districts: We must change our phraseology
now; and instead of " disturbed' (as was once the
word) say, " suffering, or starving districts." We
hope, however, that the patience of those who suffer
will only he considered as entitling them tke more to
the consideration of Governinent,—if, amidst its vari-
ous cares, Government has any consideration for the
perishing subjects of the realm,—and to the charity of
the affluent and humane. A respectable correspon
dent on the spot, informs us that the Spitalfields' dis-
tress increases. We, relying upon information yet
more confidential, should rather think otherwise. At
least, we are certain, that the grand climacteric is
passed, that French silk has been introduced, and that
the English manufacture has still maintained its place;
that, if not beneficially, it is not detrimentally affected
by the admission of its rival to the market. This is a
gratifying fact, and we believe we may state it as such.
We spoke yesterday respecting French revenue as a
test of the state of trade and commerce ; and we as-
serted, that they had not suffered the same depression
in France aff in England. The French arrivals of
yestAay did more than confine our remarks, for from
theSe it appears that the revenue for the last six months
exceeds that of the eorresporliing six months in 1825
by half a million sterling. Are we grieved at this pre-
eminence of our rivals ? No, we rejoice at it. If
we do not improve, at least, let, .France, let Europe
be progressive. If we cannot set a
,good example, let
us have one to follow. We perceive also, that in
these six months of improving revenue in France, the
lottery has declined : this is natural. The produce of
a lottery may always be considered to be inversely as a
nation is thrifty or " well-off." Among a miserable
people, each will be inclined to engage his last stake
in• this speciei of gambling. Those who are at ease
look only for an ordinary and moderate return for their
time, talents, and labour.

[THIE MORNINO CHRONICLE.]
It seems to us that Ministers are not very fairly
treated at present by the trading and manufacturing
part of the community, who throw upon them the
blame of the evils which they are suffering from the
systeth upheld by the. Landholders, to which Ministers
are decidedly opposed. We are ready to admit that
Ministers added to the distress of the country by in-
creasing the discredit under which the Country Bankers
were lying, at a time when' their place could not be
supplied ; but they only increased the evil, they did
not cause it. The evil lay in the restrictive system,
which Ministers wished, but had not sufficient strength,
to break through. The Landholders of England are
the great cause of all the distress which the country is
now suffering.
In a letter from Halifax, in The Times of yester-
day, it is said--

The loss of credit and confidence in a mercantile country is
an evil of such magnitude as years cannot repair. Why do not
you touch upon the COrn Lawe ? The best wheat is now selling.
at Hamburgh, and very large purchases made at 20s. ! The Aris-
tocracy do not feel our sufferings—thy are at present basking b
fortune's lap. Their turn, however, will soon come, and with re-
lit/Wed force, and they will feel veliat it is to annihilate commerce.
There must be an eventful crisis ere long—the poor rates are in-
creasing tenfiatL-a perfect stagnation in every department of cum-
mitree and ruinous sacsiticee toads by every rnere'hint, and still na
ensph;yment of eny kind for the laiJouring climes."
Net the writer of this „letter, after calling for the
opening of the ports, and inveighing against the Aria-
tocracy, With the inconsistency too common among
commercial men, says--
" I am a Tory bred and born, and have supported Government
all my life; but our present Leaders think their ancestors were
fools, and are trying new schemes, of which they are entirely ig-
norant, which have brought the country into a state of despond-
ene' and despair." •
rims it is that the Manufacturers and Shipowners
fall upon Ministers for their new-fangled schemes,
when they attempt,to set one branch of trade free, and
the LandoWners, when they 'attempt to set another
free. If Ministers had had the power, they would, no
doubt, have commenced with corn ; and it is unfortu-
nate for their reputations that they could not do so.
But let us not forget that the great cause of our dis-
tress is the blind selfishness of the Landholders.

[TUF MORNING HERALD.]
By an official statement lately published of the va
rious sums standing in the name of the Accountant
General of the Court of Chancery, at different periods
during the last one hundred years, it appears that dur-
ing that time the amount has accumulated in the pro-
portion of forty to one. From that statement, which
we give below, it will be found that in 1726,
there was locked up in Chancery about three quarters
of a million only; while in 1825 the sum amounted to
nearly forty millions. Now, if this thing should go
on increasing in the same ratio for the next one hundred
years, the sung total in 1925 would be one thousand
six hundred millions, or double the present amount of
the National Debt. This would be a pretty sum fbr
the exclusive use and benefit of the lawyers ; for it is
well known that when the door is once locked on any
sum put into Chancery, it is seldom opened except for
the purpose of paying the legal men employed by the
respective litigants. In fact, so far as suitors are con-
cerned, the money is of no value whatever, and maybe
regarded as a dead letter. When once the harpies
fasten their claws on it, woe to the deluded owner who
puts it within their reach. He may look on at a dis-
tawt, and trust to promistes and professions ; butt
lle will spend month after month, year after year, in
vain expectation, till he at last finds that it has finally
become their prey. Pursuing this matter a little fur-
ther, and taking it for granted, as experienee warrants
us in doing, that the amount of the Chancery
fund will go on progressively increasing, and that in
the course of another one hundred years, that. Court
will have swat:owed tip more than the National Debt,
it might then become a question whether it would not
be better to get rid of this debt altogether by means of
the funds in Chancery. As experience proves, that
whatever is paid into Court gets into the fangs of
lawyers—whatever the amount may be, it is laid up
only for their benefit, and the poor stator seldom or
never receives one farthing of it—might not, therefore,
be a question hereafter for the consuleratitm of the
King and Parliament, whether it would not be better
to apply these funds to the extinction of the National
Debt than allow them to remain hoarded up for the
benefit of those only who have no legal claims tothem?
If we are at all right in the premises—it it be but too
true that the money paid into Court seldom comes.
out except to benefit the lawyers, Bud) an Act of
Parliament would be perfectly fair. It would at
once expunge the Chancery funds, and annihilate
the National Debt. It would relieve the country of
great load of taxes, to the amount of 30 millions
