DISTRESS OF THE ENGLISH OPERATIVES
The bitter famine in Lancashire is so severe
that twcnty-one and seven tenths per cent OF
the whole population of that district-more
than one in every five persons-are dependent
for existence upon parochial relief of public
charity. 1t takes one hundred dollars week
to keep the Lancashire operatives from starva-
ton.
When the famine actually began to pinch, in
the early part of last summer, the operatives
commenced withdrawing their funds from the
savings banks, and in this manner put oil the
evil dav; but as the season advanced, and mill
after mill stopped, this temporary relic! failed
and with the expenditure Of the last OF their
savings came the real distress of the people.
Then they began to sell their furniture, and
when that res PURGE failed they pawned their
clothes The last struggle having been made,
they came upon the parish, or were the receipt
ents of the puzzle charity provided by the ma
tinna subscription. The total amount OF this
subscription. up to the LIST Of December, was
flee hundred and forty thousand pounds. The
American contributions, amounting 10 a hun
bred and sixty thousand dollars, had not beer
received when the record was made up, AMI i
not included in the sum total. Added TO the
British contributions, the amount swells the og
gregate of the Relief Fund to three millions,
three hundred and fty thousand dollars.

Rebels Stealing n steamer Mt Sc. LOuis.
The st. Louis Democrat publishes the
following account Of bold operation, by
which a rebel party stole steamboat from
the levee st that city:
1.-THE we'll known Memphis packet, Belle
Memphis, was cut out from our leVee on
Friday morning at or 4 o'clock.
The circumstances attending the clandes-
tine departure of that vessel in the small
hours, has led some to the fear that she
has been captured by carefully ooncocted
and boldly executed rebel scheme. This
morning the agents and some Of the Off
GERS were engaged in talking over the
event. and attempting IN cnme IN = satis-
factory explanation Of the mysterious
affair, but they were still in bewildered
condition at last accounts.
alt seems that at 3 or o'clock A. NJ,
twenty armed men, headed by one who
called himself 8 member Of General
Curtis staff, seized the boat, the captain
and clerk, and other Of the officers being
absent in the city, and administered an
oath of secresy to the passengers and ell
of the crew and officers who remained.
They administered the same oath to the
gentleman acting as the revenue aid, and
sent him ashore. As soon as steam could
be made, the bost backed out without sup
plies Of provisions or anything else, and
there is no boat at present in port fast
enough to oYertske her"

Of the affair was that she was sent to jail
