DISTRESS IN THE MANUFAC-
TURING DISTRICTS.

The members of the Society of Friends, ever
amongst the foremost in works of sterling mercy and
charity, have sot on foot, in Liverpool and elsewhere, a
subscription for the relief of the distressed poor in the
manufacturing .districts. This fact, so highly honour-
able to them, we learn from a circular just issued,
from which the following is an extract :
" The distress which, as is well known,, has for a
considerable time existed to so large an extent in the
manufacturing districts, and which, from present ap-
pearances, it is feared may continue, and even in-
crease, during, the approaching winter, has engaged
the attention of some Friends of Liverpool, with refe-
rence to the propriety of raising a subscription, to be
expended in the relief of the suffering poor of thoso
districts. _ .

" Friends of Yorkshire having, at the close of their
tale quarterly meeting, resolved upon such a step, ap-
pointed a Committee to raise subscriptions for the re-
lief of the distress within that county, and a letter
having teen received from a Friend near London, in-
timating that it was probable that Friends in London
would meet, with a view to raise n subAcrlption for
the same object ; a meeting of a few Friends of Liver-
pool was held there on the sth day, the 6th of 10th
month, 1842, when the subject was discussed, and it
was unanimously agreed that a subscription should be
TAised, and that the co-oper:4o9l qll4 aid pf riends pf
ether tnaetings 114 an ashiFP §llPtild 4e invited to
carry on the object in view ; and the following Friends
with power to add to their number, were appointed a
Committee for these purposes, namely :—Robert Ab-
bott, William Blain, George Crosfield, James Cros-
field, Isaac lladwen, Nicholas Martindale, Samuel

" The object and intention of' the said meeting, and
of the Committee, is, in the first place, to solicit and

series of iron ;misters quarterly meetings are just
ended. Gloomy and dull as the season they have
been ; the business done has been comparatively
trifling, and the future Prospeets of the trade are

in the extreme.
and thedatte attempt to maintain Consequent on the
late stoppage of the works, a rise on the then
ruinously low price of iron of 1/. per ton was at-
tempted, and in many instances paid, but prices have
again receded,
current quarter a rise 10s., will no doubt prove
abortive, The demand created by the stoppage of the
works is supplied, and the orders now issued will only
be for such quantities as are required for immediate
use ; what this will be may be inferred from the fact
that the chain and trace trade is nearly at a stand still,
while the demand for nails is daily decreasing. Some
idea may be forme_l of the extent of the reduction in
the make of iron, from the fact that one work, which
has usually paid from 1,5001. to 1,6001. for carriage
per quarter, had not incurred an expense of 701. on the
same account in the one just ended.—Worcestershire
