THE SILK TRADE.

We understand that a petittos from the. Pik'
weavers in this town, for the continuation of the prohibi•—n or
to
foreign manufaCtured silk, will in a few days be presented
the House of Commons, by our worthy and excellent B.
sentative, Mr. 3lonck. Our readers are aware that in July ilk'
t
it's proposed to admit the importation of foreign-Wrcugh
at a protecting duty of 30 per cent. This was port °f the
rangement in the Sessions of 1824, when the duty 011,::4011-
was repealed, and the measure was supported by
bets for title borough, because, in common with a large Insior.o
itl
in both Houses of Parliament, they considered it as the begiOr&ify
both to.
of a new system of free trade, that would of course Irate
abolish those odious restrictions and nionopolies Whieu„
the bane of commerce in every quarter of the fri:L.ti
When the
.Chancellor of the Exchequer brought °I-Ls
this measure, he expressly told the House of Comm 04•
that the repeal of the duty on silk, and the destructio
of the monopoly system were to go hand in banal'
His declaration was gladly received by every enlig
Statesman, and the public at large, and they indulged
in.,dle
,0e
most pleasing anticipations from these symptpms of %a
and liberal policy. But, unfortunately, their hopes have '—•
been realized : partial measures have been adopted • ran ,h.
riment has been tried in the silk-trade ; it has ; and
poor weavers, we fear, are likely to become its victims. , o
fact they are now in a state of the greatest distress : in
metropolis there are 20,000 out of-employment, and in u'
t 0
O
town, SO, in one parish alone, were last week cornlea
apply for parochial relief. Nothing else could have been ex,
pected from the inconsistency and absurdity of allowing;
free trade in any article, whilst that which regulates the P
of labour is fettered. To occupy the time of our readers viol
remarks on this inconsistent of continuing the prohibition. oft
the importation of corn anti removing it from overt' ow;
article, would be useless. A free trade In corn should have
been the first step towards a free trade in the different braneu;
of manufacture and commerce : at least, a revision of the tor"
of
laws should have taken • place at Cale same time with ths,g,f„
other commercial prohibitions. It ia said the heavy taxfpf;
of this country requires that the British farmer should ;ice
adequately protected and most sorry should we be!nto to
any measures adoed' which would be essentially inJurtok, 0
the agricultural interests; and we firmly believe, that fifro,
speedy abolition of the assessed tasted—a reduction to
it' re,
chial rates-...an alteration in the tithe system--by doled the
from and retrenchment in every deparnient of the latate;t
importation of foreign corn and flour may be allOweu bye
much lower rate of duty than it is at present subject to.
great advantage possessed by the foreign silk-weaver,4o6l,
cheapness of food ; and either our corn laws must be re') ,tied,
or those measures respecting the silk-trade abandoned, Vic
of
in 1824, Ministers affirmed to be essential to the prosPe'
the country.--(Reading 2ltercury.)

We are assured on good authority, that tne.,;;l4
port of extensive forgeries having been cottimlifor,
on the Bank is without foundation. Some
geries, quite unimportant, of letters of ad ro"ei,
tration, have occurred, and are noW under ihrigil
tigation, from which the rumour has row
originated.
