ENGLAND.
The topics of the last fortnight are few
q in number, and barren of interest The
Parliamentary proceedings have exclusive
ly absorbed attention.. The eyes of the ma
Is ton are fixed on Ireland, where death is do
ing its work through the instrumentality of
starvation. The details are horrible-sick-
ening. The poor try to escape, and thou
sands find atheir way daily to England and
s. Scotland. Liverpool and Glasgow are
overrun with these poor creatures. In the
former town as many as 100000 have re-

ers is likely to ruin many small housekeep-
ers, and leave them without covering or
shelter. The pressure has become so over
whelming that Parliament has been ap-
4 pealed TO, but has hitherto given no relief.
SAA11a "A determined effort is being made by the
8 wealthy classes in England to assist the
Irish by means of private subscriptions, and
by abstaining 5as much as possible from
any erfiuous consumption Of food.
But the distress ;issSnot confined to Scot
land and Ireland there is much at present
existing in England. The high price of
Ssa5}sP Provisions and the reduced stock of cotton
are amongst the causes that have aggrava-
ted the condition of the operatives in many
of the large towns of Lancashire and York
shire. The cotton mills, under the influ-
ence of the present quotations of cotton, are
working ;languidly. Mr.. Bright is going
S. to take up the question of the cotton crop,
by moving for a select committee to inquire
3slntothe best mode of promoting the growth
fscotton in India. Indeed, there is pre-
yalling conuiction that the days of cheap
ottonS are gone, and are not likely to re-
