TO CORRESPONDENTS. 4
Could we persuade ourselves that the publication of the ar-
ticle signed " Avourrvs" could be productive of the least public
benefit, we would cheerfully give it a place ; but we do not
think that whole broadsides are always best suited for gaining
- " victory.

We feel unspeakable pleasure in noticing any ef-
forts which hold out prospects, though even more
remote than we could wish, of measures being sought
for, that may ultimately tend to alleviate the miseries
now endured by the workmen iu the Manufacturing
Districts. We have pressed, and we shall continue
to do so, the necessity imposed upon the Community
generally, to look after the interests of all the children
of the same great family, and to enforce a just pro-
cedure on the part of the employers to the employed.
This is not an abstract question of mere theory only,
that may be assented to, and its execution postponed
to any indefinite time. It can no more be deferred,
without absolute and incalculable injury, than the

cravings of hunger. It is impossible, then, that we
should feel otherwise than joyful when we see indi-

viduals, who, from their rank and character in so-
ciety, can command attention, exerting themselves to
brinc, about some amelioration of the sufferings en-
dured by the working classes.
In The Star of the 27th ultimo, we inserted a letter
addressed to us by Mr. Hof.; the respectable Manu-
facturer, of Manchester, and a copy els letter which

he had sent to the Earl of DERBY, urging, in most re•

spectful and temperate language, the necessity of
measures being speedily adopted to afford some re-
lief, and procure future justice to the labouring
classes. The evil, he pointed out as arising, not from
foreign competition alone, but " from the mistaken
policy of our Manufacturers, who ought to be the
natural guardians of the labour of the Country, but
who are ever bent upon reducing the price of that
labour whenever the demand becomes languid ; and
thus producing a twofold evil, destroying the com-
forts of the operatives, and, in proportion as the prices
are reduced, compelling them, by long hours and ex-
_

cessive exertion, to the production of an increased'
quantity of tLe very frticles which are Already too
a i lindant."

It now appears, that the '.:tter to the Earl of
DERBY had, by some accident, not fallen under his
Lordship's observation, at the tim;:. Mr. llovr first
wrote to us ; and that, as soon as it did, his Lordship
paid every attention to it. The subjoined letter ex-
plains the circumstances, and will, we hope, tend to
rouse men of rank and fortune to do their duty
in the present awful crisis—for awful it is, how-
ever lightly some men may view it ; and we are
confident that nothing would tend more effectually
to put an end to the wild speculations about Univer-
sal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments, which have
taken possession of so many minds, as the hearty co-
operation of men of influence, and of Parishes gene-
rally, to secure to the workmen a just remuneration
for their labour.
