The distresses in England and Ireland still'
continue, and indeed, bur little hope is to be
derived, from the present appearances, that
soeedy stop will be put to them, as the want of
employment among the laboring classes is The
,ause Of the misery that so afflicts the people Of
those countries; nothing short of activity in the
mercantile and manufacturing communities can
afford any thing like permanent or efficient re-
lief. This result, in the present political state
Of the world, cannot soon be expected to occur,
and in the mean time the surplus artisans must
suffer at home, or find support a5road--to SO
abroad there are thousands and tens of thous-
ands who do not possess the means; these must
bear the severest of all human sufferings, the
wan, Of food. Already we have accounts by
every arrival of some dying from starvation,
tain life. Under these circumstances it cannot
be expected that tranquility can long be pre-
served in a country where the great portion Of
the labouring population---their wives and chill
dren, are withou, the means of support. Look
ing at the situation of England at present, we
do not know any period within our recollection
of her history, when she was environed with so
much real danger, or when civil commotion
with its horrid effects seemed so likely to burst
forth with savage and relentless fury. The
next Parliament will have an arduous duty to
perform, and every friend of humanity in the
three Kingdoms must look forward to their do
ings with anxious solicitude, as upon the Wis
dom of their measures the peace and quiet of
the land depend. Should they be able to devise
any plan by which their starving population can
be sustained, the dreadful evil of civil strife may
be ayerted-should they fail in this, it is in our
opinion, inevitable.

The London Sunday Times of July %, says,
1--WE hear that great dissension has broken
out in the Cabinet between Mr. Peel and Mr..
Canning; the first recommending the immedi
ale relief of the manufacturing districts by pc

cious nature of the precedent. Adissolution of
the ministry is talked of the probable result .
Most Of the persons arrested at ST. Peters
