GREAT BRITA1E.-The accounts from the ran
ufacturing districts continue TO be of the most
alarming and fearful character. The distress and
starvation that exists in every part OF the country
is appalling in the extreme; and without some
Improvement in trade speedily takes place, it is
difficult to say wkat will be the result of the move
menrs which are everywhere taking place. IN
Stafordshire and other districts of the Potteries,
the cslliers are going about in bands demanding
contributions from the tradesmen; and unless they
shortly return to their abors the potlers will be
thrown out Of work by the want Of coal. Yeoman-
nv and troops arc pouring into w-Castle-under-
Lype and the adjoining places, and serious COLI
sions are hourly expected, though a. yet 1t does
not appear that any serious disturbances have oc-
cured. In Manchester, Leeds and Stockport, the
excitement is immense, and some idea Of the state
of things in the frst-named place may be formed
from he fact that the following resolution has been
adopted at meeting Of the Anti-Corn Law Asso-
citation held at that place:

In PARLIAMENT, July 15.-The sitting OF the
House Of Commons was rendered memorable by
two sharp passages between members OF the Go
vernnent and some of their habitual supporters.
The first was between Sir James Grahe m the Home
Secretary and Sir Robert Inglis the other between
Lord Eliot, the Secretary for Ireland, and Mi. Ser
peans Jackson, the Irish Solicitor General Each
arose from estimates in The supply bill relating to
education; the former referring to the inculcalon
sfChurch of England doctriaes, and the latter to
Sectarian education in Ireland. The Whig jour
nails are of course gratifed by this discord among
their opponents.
July l6.-In the House Of Lords the Royal as
sent was given to the bill for the protection OF the
Queen person and several others.
Nothing of general interest was done in the House
ofCommons
July Is. Monday.--In the House of ords many
petitions were presented against the mines and col
lieres bi--some of them strange to say, fro!a We
men, who were fearful, they said, that if the bill
passed they should be deprived of the means of
living.
The Lord Chancellor brought forward his three
Ellis for the alteration OF the bankruptcy law, the
law relative to lunatics and for extending the uris-
dction of the county courts; which, after consld-
erable debate, had their second reading. The main
object of each bill is to facilitate proceedings and
lessen the cost.
In the House Of Commons Mr.. Roebuck present
cd the report of his select committee bribery at
elections and bribery compromises.
Then followed long debate, of party charac-
ter, on the administration of Justice in Ireland, up
poiatment of magistrates, &c.
The CoLL1ERY QUEsrIoN.-As we anticipated,
no attempt was made in the House of Lords, on
Thursday evening, to negative the principle OF
Lord Ashleys bill but the Earl of Devon felt con-
strained TO enter into farther negotiation with the
representatives Of the coal-masters and of course
farther terms ofcapitulation were exactedtrom him.
By the first comp ronise they extorted one-halt
of the time of children between the age of ten and
thirteen; and by the second the other half has, in
like manner, been surrendered to them. The bill,
as it stands for consideration now is limited to the
following main provisions: that, after stated peri
ods, the labor of females aud children under ten
wears of age shal cease to be employed in coal
mines, and that children shall not be apprenticed
in them for longer term than eight years
The coalmasters have thus, in great measure,
achieved the priacipal object for which they con-
tended in their circular. The bone In dispute
throughout was the FIVE years intervening between
infancy and boyhood-between years of age and
13. Lord Ashley and his supporters were most
anxious tha, this interval should be reserved for the
children, as the one during which it was most i'm.
pertant to allow their physical organization &c be
ma,ured by rest, and their intellectual faculties 10
be developed bv instruction. The coalmasters, on
the other hand, were equally anxious that it should
be appropriated to their service, the one during
which the children are most Indispensable to the
profitable working of their mines. Man,mon, for
the ,ime has outmannuvred humanity; and for this,
we must candidly say, humanity has much 10 thank
the unintelligible course pursued by the Govern
ment Lonaon Morning f1erao.
The information brought by the Britannia was
not as is stated in the English papers, lonkt
upon as altogether satisfactory, in consequence OF
the continued silence of the American journals III

The accounts of the harvest continue to be high

The CouNrRy.-As time goes on, the state o
the country grows more urgent. Indications that
it is really alarming meet the eye at every turn
