ROTTERDAM, AUGUST 21.

Every means has been used to prevent the tax upon
Coffee, but the King would not hear any reasons
against it, and even employed his influence to pro-
cure a majority for it in the Chambers: he has caused
by this a general disgust, and roused anew the dis-
like formerly so fatal to his father. Had the good old
Dutch system been adopted and followed, all would
have gone on well, and trade would have flourished;
but his advisers have se, ved their apprenticeship un-
der the French, and " all goes wrong."

GREAT FAILURE!—The consternation created at the
Stock Exchange this morning, by the announce-
ment of the failure of an eminent Broker, was equally
as great as when the famous South. Sea bubble burst.
His differences are said to amount to £50,000, as he
was a Bear for upwards of one million of Stock ; he
it reported to have offered ten shillings in the pound.
The failures in this Account, in consequence of so
many Accounts being carried over from last settling
day, have been as numerous and extensive as have
occurred for many years; previous to the above being
announced, upwards of £400,000 Stock was posted
against various defaulters. Seve:.teen had been de-
clared yesterday and three more this morning. A
general gloom at present pervades the Market, as
many more are expected to follow the above heavy
failure. Consols opened at 71i, went to 72, and at
one o'clock were at 71i.

We have great satisfaction in laying before our
Readers, this day, a sensible and well-written letter,
addressed by Mr. HOLT, the respectable Manufac-
tnrer of Manchester, to the Lord Lieutenant of the
County of Lancaster. The sentiments he expresses,
aud the measures which he recommends, for amelio-
rating the sufferings of the working classes, ate pre-
cisely those which we have long advocated, and to
which we have unceasingly endeavoured to call the
attention of those whose infirnce alone can bring them
into operation. Secure a proper remuneration to the
labourer—exert yourselves to alleviate the miseries
of the famishing, and you will never be exposed to
the danger of being wrought up to that degree of
alarm which deprives men of reasons and urges them
to seek relief from their fears, by resorting to mea-
sures which may increase, but cannot possibly re-
move, the threatening discontent that surrounds them.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
MANCHESTER, AUGUST 25.
The accompanying letter I addressed to the Lord
Lieutenant of the County of Lancaster, (I trust from

the best of motives) with a view, in the present unset-
tled state of things, of calling the attention of those
- in the higher walks of life, to the present condition
of the Labouring Poor, under a conviction, that it is
OP; that line of conduct only, that any thing like an
amelioration in their situation and circumstances can
be hoped for.
The longer this natural intercourse is impeded by
the mistaken policy of employing authority only,
where humanity and sympathy promise to be most
useful, so long will irritated feelings, and the worst
of passions, be wrought upon, by political incendiaries,
for any purposes but those they profess to have for
their object.
Having had no reply from the Noble Earl, to
whom my letter was addressed, nor been able to
learn that any publicity was given to it, although its
operation was not intended to be confined to the
County in which I reside, I take the liberty of sub-
mitting it to thy consideration, with permission to
publish it, if thou think'st it at all calculated to be'
of general use.—l remain, with much respect, thy
obliged Friend, DAVID HOLT.
" TO Tint RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF
DERBY, LORD LIEUTENANT OF THE COUNTY
OF LANCASTER.
" As I have no object ir view but the good of my country, I
trust. Noble Earl, thou wilt pardon the freedom I use, in thus
addressing thee : I hold it to be the day of every man, in times
of Lmninetit danger and difficulty, if he possess either influence
or information, to use it, if possible, to arrest in their progress
the growing evils of the day, which may have originated in the
distress occasioned by the general pressure of the times, and are
laid bold of by wicked and designing mer., to create through the
United Kingdom a general political ferment, dangerous to the
peace and happiness of the country.
" I have, for many years, lied much to do with the labouring
orders of people, and at the present time employ several sun-
dreds ; amongst these, occasionally, I have had to contend with
much discontent and insubordination, arising, I am disposed to
think, from the prevailing associations, for the support of what
they call the Poor Man's Rights; and which have not unfre-
quently been carried to such an extreme, as to interfere most
••:.rially with the comfortable conduct of our Manufacturers,
best interests of the workmen themselves.
, the inconvenience could only be temporary,
itself, without its being needful to resort to any
ational means for its suppression.
rhich has pervaded the Country for some time
the Manufacturing Districts, scents to have
the notice of every man ; and though it has
admitted that the labouring orders have long been
rations, for want of employment, yet they
.y been allowed to reiterate their complaints
been driven, with their Families, to seek Paso-
I from this stage of wretchedness, have easily
