MANUFACTURING DISTRESS.

Mr• DAVENPORT said, that after what had occurred
last night, which was fixed on for his motion, he could
not flatter himself that the House had any disposition to
enter into a discussion on the state of the Manufacturing
Districts ; nevertheless, he was resolved to make one other,
and it should be a final effort, and with that view, he would
bring forward the motion, which has dropped by the ad-
journment of the House last night, on Thursday, the 7th
of June.
