Alter long and severe drought, the earth
mas been refreshed with free and copious
rains. On the Goth and 2lst it fell nearly all
OF both days, and again on the Oath we had a
greater fall of rain than we have before had
IN one day during the season. The ground
appears now well saturated with moisture.
ahd' on natural meadows, and well cultivat-
ed helds, we shall probably have a middlng
crop OF hay. Still there will be scarcity of
fodder, and the ordinary means for. supplying
Inc deficiency, ought not to be neglected. Ii
Is suihcientIy early to sow bcets, carrots. and
turnips; and oats, barley, or millct. NAV vo,
give good crop of fodder. "A uord ;o Ile

DISTRESSED DISTRICTS.

The London Times of the 23d ult.
states 10 the neighborhood of Rochdale
10000 individuals had been relieved
the last week. The sum is very small,
and the prospect Of employment grew
worse daily.
Manchester was tranquil, but the dis
tress was very severe.
AT Kirkstall, 600 men, women and
children were almost without the means
OF subsistence.
Al Reighley great distress prevailed.
Al Glasgow, the distress was very
great. Among the winders, tambour-
ers sc. men did not earn over eight
pence per week.
The distress continued alarming in
ireland. Ia many places the manufac-
turers had been sent 10 break stones
Apon the public roads.
Several persons had been committed to
Lancaster Castle, charged with destroying
power looms.
a Manchester paper states, that the whole
ndnbet of powerlooms destroyed in one
week, may be estimated at 1000, and their
value at 30,000l. sterling.
