From the Liverpool al6ion, July "a.
| The aspect of things in the manufacturing
districts continues gloomy. Nor can we aatter.
ourselves, thar there will be an early improve
ment in the condition of our country. The dis
| tress among the artisans in the interior is una
batel, and it is, we fear likely to increase. Sew
eral extensive manufactures have; it is stated,
resolved TO limit the time of their workmen to
only four days III the week, in consequence Of
the demand for goods being almost entirely sus-
pended. When trade is in the depressed state
which this fact indicates it is not possible, that
the thousands Of industrious men who have,
| tor several months past, been out of work, can
| obtain employment to enable them to provide
for their own wants and those of their families
The prospect, it must be confessed, is sufficient
ly discouraging. The bounty Of the benevo-
lent and humane has done much to mitigate
the sufferngs ofthe unfortunate poor; but ex-
perence has demonstrated, that private charity
is perfectly inadequate to supply the necessa-
ries of all who are at present pining under hor
rors little Short Of those of destitution. Gov
eminent we are assured, are anxious to do all in
their power to mitigate the suffering of the
labouring is one which, we fear, "nei,her kings
nor governments can cure" Ministers cannot
give an impetus to commerce, or revive trade,
or impart motion to the looms; and until com
merce is quickened, trade revived, and the loom
once more in motion, the present unexampled
distress in the manufacturing districts cannot
undergo any sensible diminution.

country circulation that at provincial. bank on
ly 90 miles from London, an order on one Of the
first bankers in Lombard street for Soo0l pay
able at three days sight, could not be negotiat-
ed in any shape The banker thought it use
less to offer his own notes, which would be i'm
mediately returned upon him, and it was not
worth his while to transact business in any o.
Their shape.
BY law which will come into operation on
the first of August, all ship-masers will have to
give an account, at the Custom-hou Of the
cargo on board their vessels, previous TO being
cleared out. To do this is almost impossible;
and, if the law be enforced, it will take two or
three daysto get through the clearance, which
is now done in one day. The inconvenience to
commerce will be serious.
Deaths from Starvation IN Ireland
have to state, that two cases of death, from
want, occurred on Friday. The one was
poor man, whose name is unknown, who was
found on the fiagway in Thomas-street, be-
tween nine and ten O'Clock at night, in state Of
complete exhaustion. He was removed to ST.
Cathsrine's watch-house, and expired at 10 o.
clock.-Freemaa's Journal
| On the same day man of the name Of Peter
haro i,,t ha
College-street Alderman Archer, one of the
City Coroners, held an inquest on the body,
when verdict was returned that the deceased
died from disease Of body and want of food
Ldem.
On Thursday evening poor old woman,
stranger, dropped down in Hlgh-sreet Xilken-
| ny, and instantly expired. She had no money
| about her, and the opinion of those who viewed
the body is, that she died Of absolute want
| The poor woman, we are told, was seen 10 fall
in the street on the preceding day, in state Of
almost total exhaustion. MesSrs COLES and
Keough held an inquest on the body on the
evening of her death. Verdict--"Died by the
sudden visitation Of Providence" If the poor
creature really died OF starvation, OF which we
have no doubt, we should have preferred recor-
ding the immediate cause of her death, TO a.
| rouse the sympathy of the rich on behalf of the
unfortunate but starving poor.--Leinster Journ.
LONDON, July 25.--It is impossible to con-
ceive duller day than this mas been in every
respect. Consols varied but little, and closed
at IT. In the foreign market, every thing was
alike uninteresting. Columbian Bonds closed
at 323, and Mexican at All Brazilian Mining
shares, advanced from to II prem.
1t is understood the communications from the
manufacturing districts are of nature to re-
quire an interview on the part of the London
Committee with Mr.. Peel, which is stated to
have taken place this-day
1t is evident that husbandmen in many parts
of the kingdom, likely to suffer severely
from the uncommon heat and dryness Of the
season. The diminished quantity of hay; the
failure of the turnip crop, and the certain def
