TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 23, 1552.

THE

WEEK

have passed a dull week in every sense of the

word. Rain—constant, teeming rain—has a won-

drously depressing effect, even under such shelter
as our Exchange News-room affords. Cotton looks

less tempting to the speculator in an ungenial

Investments in Sugar are put off
until more favourable weather. Men, ordinarily the

atmosphere

most eager for gain, ensconce themselves by the
cheerful fire of their private counting-houses ; and
commercial circulars record the result as productive
of general dulness. We have had, too, during the
week a holiday; and, for the honour of Liverpool,
we can say that it was universally observed. Along

the whole line of our docks, not a single ship was
working, either at loading or discharging. Every
shop in our leading streets was closed. In short,
Thursday was in almost every outward feature a
Sabbath, the exception being that our Churches

were not open for public worship. In contrast with
the observance of the day in Liverpool, the principal
manufacturing towns in the neighbourhood exhibited
a humiliating example of selfishness, and the greed
of gain. The millowners and authorities of Preston,
affecting a dread of the loss to the working classes
of a day's wages, kept their factories and machinery
going. In Blackburn, the Corporation expressed
their fear that the only result of a holiday would be
that it would afford to the working classes the
opportunity for a debauch—happy and enlightened
working classes ! Manchester seems to have ob-
served the day with moderate decency; but Ashton-
under-Lyne, and other places in the vicinity, paid

no attention to the wishes, understood if not ex-
