CORN AND CURRENCY.—We are importing from
40,000,0001. to 50,000,0001. of goods every year, consisting of
silks, cotton, coffee, and the like, and yet we never hear of a drain
of gold to pay for these articles, because we export our manufac-
tures in exchange; but when we have to import corn we hear of
large draws of gold fro .-n the country, the effect of which is to em-
barrass our manufacturers. The law for importing corn, differing
from the law which regulates every other article, produces these
convulsions,--The Struggle.

—" Several journals have lately
tula, in a mariner which shows that they are ignorant of the real
history of these matters, for they represent the project as entirely
isolated, when, in fact, it is part of a general system. Soon after
the peace of Paris, when the Congress of Vienna defined the limits
of Prussia, it was resolved to adopt one system of defence for the
whole monarchy. As early as 1616 the late King commenced the
preparatory works, and the plan for the defence of the Rhenish
Provinces and Posen being
completed, the King has ordered the
like works to be done in the

Since our last notice about 500 have been takeil-mi jhe relief

the prospects are very gloomy The whole of the funds do riot
amount to more than 5001., a sum which will not cover the ex.

it is a grave ar.d important question how the thousands, wholly
dependent on the Relief Committee, are to be fed, and the peace of
the community preserved? The number of unemployed in Pais-
ley is 14,273; including the other part of the upper ward. 16,934.

WINTER.—Stern iron-handed Winter is here ; it
behoves us to put forth all our exertions to withstand his dark
Powers. The effects of winter on the person are manifest to every
one. Hi; cold bleak winds to the delicate, and even the most ro-
bust complexion, are highly injurious; his chilling damps render
it all but impossible to retain the hair in curl : thus quite prevent-
ing many from taking out-ofdoor exercise at this period of the year,
to the serious injury of their health. It remained for Messrs. Row.
land and Son, of Hatton-garden, to discover counteracting influ.
ences; their Macassar Oil never fails, in the worst weather, to re-
tain the hair in graceful curs, arid the use of Kalydor will make the
complexion to defy damp, and cold, and wind, both being desiderata 4
whose absence will always be remarked by the discriminating.
