tilU esenifil period we never experienced difficulties of a character

Sth. We also think It our duty to-represent, that, hitherto, some
subsistence has been obtained by the working classes from their past
savings, and the sale of clothes and furniture; but that we,contem-
plate with great alarm the rapid exhaustion of these means, and the
longer continuarkee of so great a population out of employment.
Birmingham, July 13, 1S 6.

Thursday a Deputation from the Woollen Manufac-
turers of.Frome waited upon Mr. Secretary Peer., and
stated that in consequence of the introduction of new
machinery, a large portion of the population oftlaat town
was thrown out of employment, and starving. They
prayed that the use of the machinery might be pre-
vented. He informed them that he could render no as-
sistance, and could give no aid in preventing the use of
the new machinery. The Deputation waited. on Mr.
HUNT, by whose advice they called at the Foreign
Office, but Mr. Secretary CANNING was engaged, and
they could not obtain an interview. They then placed
their papers in Mr. HUNT'S lands, and requested him
to apply to Mr. Secretary CANNING in their Wulf,
which he promised to do.

An adjourned Special General Vestry of the inhabi-
tants of the parish of St. Olave, Hart-street, was held on
Thursday last, to consiJer and adopt measuresrespecting
the Report and other documents, laid before the Vestry
on the 6th of July last.
The Rector, the Rev. Dr. °way, again took possessioll
of the Chair, and urged them not to delay. it was very
warm weather, hat without warm weather it was ge-
-1 nerally hot enough in that Vestry--(Loaghter).
' Mr. YOUNGER said he had felt excessive pain- io ob-
serving the bald and indelicate assumption of the Rector
in t +king the Chair, patticularly as it led to angry dis-
cus&on, and by the frequept improper interruption of
Dr. Owen, the free discussion of the parishioners was
impeded. He felt it his duty to submit a motion on
that subject; and, after taking a shott review of the
Report of the Committee, he concluded by moving a
Resolution to the effect that it was highly improper and
indelicate for Dr. Owen to preside at a Wavy converted
to discuss the performance of his clerical duties, and
was in direct opposition to the remonstrances of the
parishioners, who solely submitted to it because he as-
sumed the Chair by authority of law.
Dr. °wax—Tile law is the best authority by which I take the
Chair, and we do not meet here to consider my clerical duties.
A long pro and con discussion ensued, in which the
Parishioners accused their Rector of cold-heartedneia
towards their interests, and unchristian conduct as their
Pastor ; all which the Rev. Doctor treated with great
indifference, declaring that ‘, he was a perfect stoic hi
these things."
Several Resolutions. no way complimentary to the Chairman,
having been disposed of,
Mr. YouNoea moved, and Mr.Rosursort seconded, a
Resolution, which was carried unanimously, that the
Bishop being aware of all the circumstances, had agreed
that the stipend for Botolph's, Bishopsgate (of
which the Bishop of Chester was Rector), should
govern the stipend for the future incumbents of this
parish ; and other Resolutions were unanimously passed
to the effect, that the stipend for Bishopsgate waspuch
less comparatively than the 1,2001. per annum offered
for the future incumbents of this parish, which offer
the Bishop had .rejected ; and that they deeply regretted
that their case had not excited the sympathy of the
Bishop, who had made mistatements in the House of
Lords, and had not returned any answer to the letter
sent by the Committee, on the 6th of May last, to his
Lordship on that subjects Another Resolution was
passed, strongly recommending the inhabitants to con-
tinue bringing their case before Parliament, praying
that their sufferings might be relieved. Thanks were
also voted to the Marquis of Lansdown and Mr. Cal-
craft, for their able and judicious support of the petitions
of the inhabitants.
Dr. Owxx—Go on, Gentlemen—l am like the auctioneer, I shall
want some wine and water.

Thanks were also voted to Mr. T. Saunders, the Solicitor of the
Committee, for the able, 'Mous, and experienced professional as.
sistance afforded by him.
Mr. SA UNDERS, in acknowledging the handsome cow.
pliment paid him, said he hoped to live to see the day
of the complete and final extinction of the oppressive
claim of 2s. 9d. in the pound for tithe. He was a friend
of the Church of England, and thought that its honour
and security would be best consulted by the amelioration
of so obnoxious an impost.—(Applause.)
Other Resolutions were then passed, relative to the advowson of
the parish.
Dr. Owns—Have you done now?
Mr. YOVNGER.—No, Sir; 1 hold in my hand a Re.
solution, that this Vestry learns, with deep .regret and
alarm, that the Rector has advised resistance to. the pa-
rish rate's, and that he will not himself pay the poor's
rate, in regard to his enormous tithes ; and that, in con-
sequence of such conduct, the Churchwardens and
Overseers have not funds to pay the poor, or provide for
the necessary expenses of the parish.
Dr. Owae—l know I have sanctioned the rates, but we ail know
bow those things art done. I did not particularly look into •it then.
Mr. Rstatos—Then, having acted so improperly yourself,
though I believe the rates are correct, it is shameful in you to tin.
puce improper motives to others, and your conduct; as Chairman,
as highly cenaurabk.
Mr. lisact.aisa—l think so too—(Cheers.)
Dr. Owen—What! am I to sit here and hear myself charged,
without answering ? I will always fearlessly meet you; and, thank
GOO, that after having been here for forty years, my parishioners
can only say their Rector looks tolerably well.
Parishioner—Yes, you may look tolerably well; nobody else
would have had the nerve to look so well. You are a rare fellow !
v -Dr. o;vae—Well, have you done?
Mr. Howatt.— I move that -the Resoliations •be advertised,
printed,and circulated, and a oopy sett to the Bishop of London,
at the discretion of the Committee. I mention discretion, Doctor,
because we are so impoverished by your conduct that we cannot go
to much expence.—This Resolution was carried unanimously, and
the Vestry adjourned.

A letter from Trieste, written on the 6th ult. says-

but I am happy to say that the ship-owners are cordially
disposed to co operate with Lord COCHRANE:t
Saturday afternoon it was discovered that the eaten•
sive moors in the vicinity of Sheffield had by some
means taken fire, and from the dryness of the ground,
it was immediately in a state of ignition, and it was
calculated that on Monday night there must have been
1500 acres of land burnt, and burning ! That evening
the scene was awfully grand—even terrific in its ap-
pearance. The thunder was heard in loud and continued
peals, the lightning was seen in vivid and repeattd
!ladles, darting across the firmament the rain de-
wended in torrents, and the ground for miles was in
flame! The origin of the fire has been ta aced to the
following
thellow moor
ingcirctuo gathermstanc bil
circumstance. Sunday
uenidiealy,
whenseeer a manalier, lighted
swliteendt
on
his pipe with a lens. After smoking, he threw the
heated refuse from his pipe on the ground, which being
di such a parched state, is supposed to have ignited.
