DISTRESS OF NATIONS W I T H PERPLEX-
ITY.
The following items are specimens of the intilligence
contained in the Britsh Chronicle of Dec. I Oth :
ENGLAND.
Trade of Sheffield.—We can expect no considerable
trade Avith the United States of America for twelve
months to come. The last packet, which was to de-
cide the prospects of our trade, is said to have come
without any orders. NOTHING CAN BE MORE
GLOOMY than our prospects for the coming winter.—
Sheffield Independent.
Blackburn.—We cannot report the shadow of any im-
provement in the Cotton trade here ; it is S L A C K E R
than ever. Hand loom weaving is in a very depressed
state.
Leeds.—Businsss is still extremely flat and unpromis-
ing, to-day's has been as dull a market as any during the
present year. Manufactures are further reducing the
wages of the operatives, which renders the winter pros-
pect very disheartening.
SCOTLAND.
Paisley.—The propertied people of the county of Ren-
frew have wisely and kindly resolved to subject themselves
to a voluntary assessment, for the relief of their unem-
ployed poor, whose numbers is increasing to a frightful
extent; 1,333 persons having been added to the list in
Paisley, during the last month, and many more being still
likely to be thrown out of work speedily. Not so wisely
did they come to the resolution, at the county meeting,
of applying to the government for a grant from the public
purse to provide means £>f employment for the destitute.
Were the distress of Paisley a common accidental, and
temporary phenomenon, such mode of alleviation might
have claims on attention. But, unhappily, the case is a
common one. The same sort of wretchedness, however
graduated and diversified, obtains over all the great man-
ufacturing towns of England ; and at the same time, even
the agricultural counties are T A K I N G T H E L E A D IN
PAUPERISM. This is no season for the Government
to become a manufacturer, and bring the public purse into
the already ruinous competition. The privations endured
bv the unemployed poor of Paisley are H O R R I B L E to
read o f ; but SIMILAR privations are N O T LESS HOR-
R I B L E elsewhere ; and what is to be done ?
The late Harvest near Glasgow.—We have had a re-
markably fine summer harvest and crop in this ward of
the county ; I believe the best I ever witnessed.
Business of all kinds is exceedingly dull, and there is
no prospect of a return to the better. I fear a large por-
tion of the laboring population will be unable to find em-
ployment during the winter months.—Glasgow Chronicle.
IRELAND.
Outrages in the King's County.—Some serious agrarian
outrages are reported in this county. In one case, where
there was a distraint for rent on the estate of Lord Ross-
more, on the lands of Clonlex, a large party of the peas-
antry assembled and commenced firing shots and threat-
ening the keepers, who, according to the Leinster Ex-
press, fled in terror of their lives.
Dunfermline.—Trade in Dunfermline is in a dreadful
state, and getting daily worse. A firm in the manufac-
turing line stopped payment last week. The liabilities
are said to be fifteen thousand pounds. The condition of
the working classes is becoming T R U L Y ALARMING.
Another Bankruptcy Poor-laic Union.—It was resolved
by the guardians on Wednesday, in consequence of their
bankruptcy, to admit no more paupers, and to apply for a
loan to the poor-law commissioners.—Galway Advertiser.
So the paupers must beg or starve.
SUGGESTION F R O M A POSTMASTER.
STILLWATER. Saratoga C o . , N . Y . , >
December 23, 1842. 5
Dear Sir,—Anxious to procure some cheap publi-
cation f o r a gratuitous circulation, embodying some
o f t h e most convincing arguments o f the second c o m -
ing o f Christ in 1843, would suggest the propriety o f
issuing an extra or w e e k l y Midnight Cry, large
enough (say a sheet 32 inches by 48, or more,) to
contain some o f the most cogent reasons from pro-
p h e c y and signs o f the times that have been pub-
lished.
M y object is, to put into the hands o f the u n c o n -
verted and peace and safety crying professors in this
neighborhood a publication embracing some lectures

to a more candid enquiry into the subject.
