MANCHETBIL JULY Mt
The Cotton Spinners are still absent from the fac-
tories. The same spirit which induced them to leave
their employinent by which they earned considerably
more than other operatives in the cotton +manufac-
ture, continues in all its force; arid, lime are given
to understand, from twelve to fourteen thousand per-
sons (including their families) are at this moment de-
pendent on their Association funds, (ostensibly col-
lected for their support in sickness,) on casual charity
or on parochial relief;—for it would be insulting
them to say they are living on the fruits of their
former earnings, sincethat would operate as a strong
argument against the justice of their claims for an
advance of wages. The first. source must soon be
exhausted, when so many thousand people are fed
from it; the second must be incompetent indeed,
when the amount of the rates which are paid for the
legal support of the poor is considered i—and it can-
not be supposed, that the officers who distribute the
money collected for the parochial relief of the truly
distressed, will apply any of these funds which ought
to be held sacred, for the purpose intended by
the Legislature, to the maintenance of persons
who will not avail themselves of the means which
their business affords them of providing for more
comforts for themselves and their families, than three-
fourths of the whole population of the !kid* Ern,
pire (from the Inferiority of the remuneration they
receive for more severe and even more ingenious
labour than Cotton-spinners) have ever known.

ordered away, but could not sail until this morning,

vent her getting back to 'Tetuan."
