M ANCHESTER—MoxnAY Moßribro.

Yesterday morning, an impressive discourse was delitleted ai
St. Stephen's Church, in Salford, Manchester. by the Rev. Mt.
Stowell, the text was chosen from the New Testament—" Werth--
with those that do weep." The auditory couristed of more thin.
one thousand persons. A collection was made for the valuable but;
neceultous artisan. who is at present labouring under much pd.
vation. I hope this praiseworthy example will be followed by
every Church and Chapel twenty miles round Manchester..—whsg
a sum it would make! About thirty years ago, a similar request .
was resorted to for the benefit of the Infirmary. it produced.-
nearly £20.000 ; this is a fact. ei Go, and do thou likewise." Thit
collection yesterday morning was mote that sixty-three guineas.—
Little business was done on Saturday. Prices of most kiruls of
property a shade lower; indigo, and other dry.salrries, a little ad.
'raced; bread twopence farthing a pound; shambles meat sixpence
to sevenpeoce halfpenny per lb. The silk business Is not worse at
present, but prices are very low.

The Directors of the Bank of England have deter-
mined to establish Branch Banks at Swansea, Birming-
ham, and Manche: er, in additi m to one already
established at Gloucester. Why the Directors shotild
have overlooked Liverpool, we are totally at a loss to
conceive. If a branch of the Bank were established
here, no doubt the whole amount received at the Cue-
toms and Excise; &c. would pass through it. The: re-
venue collected at this port is, we believe, tr snsmitted to-
the Treasury, through the principal banking establish-
ments here; and the interest alone, between the money
rec.ived from the Customs and Excise, &c. and the
money paid into the Treasury, is somewhere about
10.1:1031. per ann.which it is reasonable to suppose would
be transferred into the coffers of theßranchßank. Setting
aside the incalculable advantages which would accrue
to this port, to Ireland, and to the country at large,
from the establishment of a Branch Bank 'here,. we
should suppose that the mere receipt of the revenue
would be a sufficient temptation (in a pecuni..ry point
of view) to induce the Directors of the Bank of E %land
immediately to acquiesce in the wishes of the majority
of all the leading interests •of this great commercial
comm u nit y.—Liverpool Chronicle.
The extra.men in the employ of the Excise, at Ply-
mouth, some of whom have been on the establishment
many years, are to be discharged on the sth August,
and their places filled from the superannuated list, cre-
sted on the transfer of the Excise dudes to the Customs.
