We find the following paragraph in a Northern
exchange, without credit
The distress in the Eugllsh cotton districts
continues TO increase, and directly affects all
classes Of the community. Tae few mills in
partial operation are gra1ually stopping work,
and it is estimated dat by Christmas there will
be 760 600 paupers TO be fed in Lancashire alone.
At recent meeting in Blackburn it Yves stated
that in twenty-four Poor Lsw Unions the num-
Der of people receiving relief was 1862 more
than in the corresp spondiug period last year. OF
the population of Preston, amounting to $1,000
persons, 81, 600 were ct last accounts in receipt
of relief from various sources OF the eighty
seveh mills Of Preston thirty-foar are shut up
altogether, and IN those still open there are now
but 1881 working full tune; u lS5 are work
ing short time (nesrly two-thirds on three days
a week., and l2l30 arc altogethsr ont of en-
ployment Besides these it is calculated that at
least 600 workmen connected with or depend
ent on the mills, but not Teckoped smoRg tue
bands, are also out Of employment La Wigan
10000 are absolutely dependent on charity for
subsistence. Ia one week, preceding the de-
parture of the last steamer, total of ,080 pau
pers were 8jded TO the list previously receiving
relief, and in twenty unions in the neighbor-
hood of Manchester no less than 200 600 persons
were on the eeiief lists The American war,
however, is not the sole cause Of the distress.
Recent unexpected supplies OF cotton have ar
rived from India, bat there is 10 ameliorstioa OF
the prospects of the poor. The manufacturers
