SPITAL FIELDS.--We are assured, and we feel
great pleasure in so staling, that this place, which
va s the scene of more distress than any other ita

there is hardly an adeqoate supply of silk for the
workmen.
BIEMINGHAM, SEPT. 23.—We copied last week
froni a Morning Paper, a paragraph, which tamed
that " a destructive contagious lever" was pre-
valent in this town. We received this morning
a positive contradiction of the report, whicli we
notice-)with pleasure, as it comes from indis-
putable authority. If there had been any trod,
in the report it would of course have been no-
ticed by Mr. JABET, whose attention to the
in-
terests of the town, as well as. public spirit in
general, needs no eologium in this place.
EXTENSIVE FRAUD.—A most extensive fraud
on the.reventie has been detected at Liverpool.--
A 3 we have the particulars from several sources,
we have therefore no hesitation in giving dais ne-
farions business immediate publicity. Several
hitherto respectable people are said to be .con-
cerned. The particulars of the fraud detected are
these :—A large lighter etas fitted out as- a ico.:ien.
merchantman, with false (leek and sides, tvtlr
masts, sails,-and rigging : she was entered out at
the Custom-house for another country, and a very
valuable cargo shipped on board ; the gi)(nis
se-
lected were those on wit kit the greatest drawbacks
are given, or rather, we believe, the whole dot'ies
Maid oti importation were to he returned. 'The
vessel sailed round the rock or point of land into
the Irish' Channel ; her false side; were knocked
in, her masts scrod:, and every appearance
of • a lighter, she sailed again op the river Aicisey
to It noco-rn (a short distance trout Liverpool),
where the cargo was landed and sent by different
conveyances to London. - The otheets 'havo got
notice of the transaction, ,grad have traced the;
goods to town, and we wider stand titVCrgi SOZUIC.3
were made in the City on Monday. It is not
known to what extent this fraud has heel; carried!,
or what length of time it has coetinued ; but it'
is believed that the parties concerted had File-
tised it with portshi the Irish Channel fer such a
length of time without tneetaig inteetoption, that
hey were emboldeticd, and brouebt the goods to
a short distance from Liverpool, being ;More con-
venient for them. The detection is stated to have.
taken plate in the most simple way, a lighterma4
saying Ott the quay at Liverpool, that pepper and
other colonial prodections were landing .at Ruin-
Coro, and gait lac would wish to irive owh a job.
No lightev could be traced to Wye left Liverpool..
An investigation immediately took place, whicli
has brought this flagitious busioess to light.
