ROCHDALE, JUNE 11.--A considerable portico of the
woollen-weavers have this week returned to their work
on the terms they demanded from their employers, viz.
the list prices of 1824. Mout 300 of the small manu-
facturers have agreed to the above terms ; nail it is con-
fidently stated that their example has been followed by
four of the more considerable manufatturers, viz. Rawl
sons and Saltntarsh, of Halifax ; J. Schofield, of Man.
row ; G. Ashworth, J. Ashworth, and J. Shone, of 113 eh.
dale. In conseqm.tnce of this arrangement, about 2,000
or 2,500 hands have resumed their employment. The
remainder, amounting to nearly 45,000, are still out of
work, and appear determined, by every peaceable means,
to maintain their strike. A number of master-weavers,
or owners of loom-shops, sonic of them extensive ones,
were this day summoned before the Magistrates, and all
of them, with the exception of four, agreed to tieish the
work they had in hand within stipulated periods they,
however, seemed to promise very reluctantly, and were
severally dismissed.
There are at present two thousand six hundred and
ninety miserable paupers in the Mendicity Institution of
Dublin, and the entire funds for the maintenance of this
multitude of human beings amount to two shillings and
three pence !! ! The Committee will endeavour to main-
tain them fur another week ; but if, at the termination of
that period, adequate funds are not forthcoming, this im-
mense horde of starving wretches shall be let loose upon
the public ! —ls this a time for the infliction of new bur-
dens upon Ireland ?—Morniny Register.
DR. DOYLEYS PLAN OF PnOR Lsws.—The follow.
ing is an outline of the plan sac rested by the Rev. Dr.
Doyle for establishing poor !aws in Ireland: •—•' The
parishes, according to their present, division, consisting of
unions, and which, in his diocese, amount to about fifty,
to appoint commissioners or vestry-men to apportion and
applot the necessary assessment—three-fourths of tht
rate to fall on the landed proprietor. and one-fourth on tht
occupying tenant. The settlement of the claimant to be
a residence of three years—but the parochial authorities
to be empowered to give small casual relief to others, to
enable them to reach their proper domicile."

has been entirely ruined. What renders the cablle
more severe is, that this is the third year in succes-
sion in which inundations of this kind hate taken place
when the crops were on the ground, and many farmers
have lost their entire crops of bay (on which they
principally depend) in each of those three years. The
food on Friday likewise did much mischief in several
parts of Derbyshire. The river Wye was higher than
has been known for some time past, and completely
covered all the low ground on its banks, destroying
the crops of grass and corn which grew there. In
Warwickshire, Shropshire, and Worcestershire, also,
the inundations have been very extensive, and very
injurious in their consequences.—Manchester Guardean.
LIVERPOOL, Jt. x L 12.—Simon Byrne still remains
in the Borough gaol, no order having yet been made cut
for his removal. He appears to poignantly feel the na-
ture of his situation, and his regrets to: the fatal termi-
nation of the fight are loud and frequent. He has heard
the result of the Coroner's inquest, but has made no %-
marks upon the subject.
We are now approaching the middle of June, the period
when distress is nearly at its height. Potatoes are now
50. and 6d. per stone. The farmer who, while he bad
them, was liberal in his distribution, is,

stances, himself obliged to resort to the markets. The
poor are starving. Let potatoes be purchased trot the

will be dreadful, and perhaps the remedy
