" The greater part of the accidents which took place would he avoided if due precautions were taken , and the country had a right to demand of government that the adoption of these precautions should be enforced .

THE FA MINE FEVEE AND DESTITUTION IN MANCHESTER . We regret that we are yet unable to report that the fever which prevails amongst the wretched Irish immigrants in tbe cellars and lowest lodging-houses , hu at all abated . All the sanitary efforts employed by the guardians , relieving officers , and the medical and other officers of the fever hospitals and unions on the one aaud , and the admirable system of visitation and prompt relief , by the eight sanitary officers of the borough police , on the other , with the whitewashing and cleansing carried en under the direction of these officers , have hitherto done no more than prevent the fever from spreading . Nearly a score of cases have occurred since our last , in which Irish paupers have been turned oat of lodging-house ? , especially in Little Ireland , and hava been found by thesanltarr police-officers lying in ttio
street , unable to walk , and it has been necessary to send them in . carts to the Manchester workhouse , the fever hospitals or elsewhere . In one instance , two wsmea were found lying in the street , both very ill , without food or home , and unable to walk . la another , at five o ' clock on Saturday afternoon , a poor woman was found lying in Oxford-street , apparently ill from fever , and three children with her , of the ages of fifteen , eleven , and seven years , all in great distress . They had been thrust out of a lodging hoine in Crossley-street , a fortnight before , and had since subsisted on charity , taking their chance of such shelter as any outbuilding would afford . They were sent to the Ghorlton Union Workhouse , Stretford New Road . At seven o ' clock on Monday morning last , a man , named Patrick Mauldine , was found lying oa the steps of the Night Asylum , sick , destitute , and unable to walk : he was conveyed to the workhense . We shall not multiply instances of this class of cases .
The following are cases in which a more prompt removal is greatly desirable : —A poor Englishwoman , in Back Lamb Lane , who has lived in Manchester all her life , and whose husband died ten weeks ago , had fever for a fortnight , and is now somewhat better ; but her daughter is still very ill . On the first application made to have her removed to the fever hospital , it was stated that the van bad seen broken ; but on a second application the following day a promise was given to remove her as soon as possible . A poor Irishwoman , who has lived twenty-taut years in Manchester , has been deserted by her husband , and is left with four children , ages seventeen , fifteen , thirteen , and nine years . The eldest ( a boy ) , a self-acting minder , has been out of
work five months , and has been ill of fever five weeks . He was vetted by one of the medical officers of the nnion on the 3 rd , 5 th , 16 th , and 24 th inst . and the ¦ urgeon then advised that he should be removed to the fever hospital . The police inspector learned that the family had 4 a . weekly from the parish , and this , with a few soap tickets . liad been their only sop . port . They were all without food , and he gave them some tofts value of . Is . Having no bedding , they had none of them had their clothes off for many weeks , and were altogether in a very wretched and filthy condition . The case was reported to the relieving officers , and the son was removed to the fever hospital , -Minshull-street , where he was placed in an empt / room with some others , until some beds were
pnt up and made ready for them . The lad after remaining there about an hour , the beds not being then put up , became very cold , and with another fever patient , left the hospital and returned home . Here he was found on a subsequent visit , by a police inspector ; and , as the family said they had not tasted food since the preceding day , he supplied them with provisions to the extent ef Is . 6 M *—In a cellar in names Leigh-street , Little Ireland , the sanitary police officer , on Saturday last , found an Irishman named Michael Smith ( who has been 3 years in Manchestei ) bu wife and three children ( ages ten , eight , and two years ) all sick in fever , and anable toassiat each other , in a most wretched and destitute condition , having had nothiug to eat since the preceding day : He procured for them food to the amount of 13 . 9 d . for their present wants , and reported the case to th « : e levin ? officer . They had not had any relief from the town , except on Tuesday last , when the man got 2 i . & } . at the Fountain-street office . On a subsequent visit on Monday morning , Smith waa a little be tsr , but no medical man had visited them , though thtur sickness and distress had been reported to tile Sieving officer on the 5 th , tho 23 rd , and the 25 th inst . ; and on each of these occasions the police

inspector had given them foot ) for their present wants . —In a cellar under No . 48 , Hanover-street , an inspector on Saturday fouud five persons ill of fever ; and though th ey are receiving relief fro m theguardians , up te that time no medical officer had visited them .-In a cellar under Ne . 5 , Simpson-street , eight persons were found ill of fever . —In a dwelling 4 . Baker ' s ^ onrt , Baker-gtreet , werefound , on Satur ' day , a nan his wife , and one of their children , all ill of fever since the preceding Tuesday ; but they had had nomedical aid . -Casesof overcrowdine still
occur . In ahouse , No . 13 , Cayley-street , which conswta of only two very small rooms , five families , in all 22 persons , were fonnd in the greatest distress ; none of them receiving relief from the town . One was dead in the house ; another lying sick of fever ; trom which several others were slowly recovering , i lie neighbours stated , that many of ihem had had nofood s ; nce themorning of the day before , and the sanitary inspectors purchased for their present wants food to the amount of 2 s . lljd . and reported the case to the relieving officer of thedistrict .
Many of the cases of distress are aggravated by the separation of families , the consequence ot the fever . In a place at 12 , Wincklev-street , a poor man , an Irishman , who has been four months in Manchester , was found with five small children ; his wife being in the fever hospital . They had bad nothing to eat since the day before , and were in great destitution . The inspector supplied their immediate wants , by expending Is . 5 Jd . in food for them . —In a cellar under 75 , Fleet-street , a poor little boy , only seven years of age , was found ill of the fever , with no one living with him except a lad of fifteen ; the father being in the New Bailey , and the mother dead . The poor child had had no relief from the guardians , and no medical attendance , and the inspector
reported the cise to the relieving officer as one requiring immediate attention . In another case , four children were fonnd left in a dwelling , of tbe ages of eleven , seven , and three years , and the youngest only seventeen months ; both ot whose parents were in the fever hospital ., All these poor children had the fever . —In one house in the Old Infirmary Yard , an Irishwoman , who had been twelve months in Mancheater , wasfound « ith her daughter and her sisterin-law , all ill of fever , and no one in the house to attend to them . They had had relief from the guardians , but much .. needed medical aid . —An Irishwoman was found in a cellar in Tame-street , which she occupied with her four sisters , and they bad a man , his wife , and six childrenlodging with them . On
, Saturday afternoon , a police sanitary inspector visited them , and found no fewer than eight persons ill of fever in this crowded and wretched cellar , all the thirteen individuals lying in the front cellar only , which is a small one . They were all lying on a few dirty rags and shavings , on the flanged floor , and were in a very filthy and destitute state . The inspector reported the case to the relieving officer of the district . In one case a poor woman ( who had been only ten weeks from Ireland ) , on coming out of the fever hospital , where her husband still remains , found that no one would give shelter to herself and her three children , and she was wandering about . The inspector relieved her with food to the extent of Is . and reported the case .
Of course "the famine fever" is not the only disease rife in this wretched claBs of people . Three cases of small-pox are reported amongst others , in one of which the inspector gave reliet in food ; and in a cellar under 56 , Hanover-street , one youth was found ill of fever and a girl of jaundice ; and though both had been relieved by the guardians , neither had had any medical attendance . The sanitary officer who was ill of febricula , Peter Kearns , now proves to be suffering from small-pox . On inquiry yesterday , we learn that the last report of the medical offcerofthe police force , dated yesterday morning shows that there are now five cases ef fever amongst the police constables of the A division , all of which have been ascertained to be caused by the attendance of the men at the soup kitchen during the thronging of itsdoorsby the wretched anddiseased applicants . — Manchester Guardian .

PR 08 T , WILLIAMS . . AND JONBB . Mr T .

wouia tneretore move : — " That this committee take immediate steps to procure a deputation of such members of the House of Commons , asmsy be willing to undertake the mission , to wait upon Lord John Russell and endeavour to procure the liberation and restoration of John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and William Jones .

To the Electors andNon-Elbctobsin thbWbst Riding of Yurkshirb . — Felluw-Countrymen , the time has now arrived when it is tbe duty of every man to come forward and give his influence and support , whether political or pecuniary , to the promotion of those princi ples of eternal truth and justice which are alone calculated to effect the political and social redemption « . f the people . When we reflect oa the struggles that have taken place in the WeBt Hiding of Yorkshire in bygone days , at the time of general elections , particularly when those struggles , supported by the working classes , were not intended
to benefit them , we cannot help being surprised at the presenv apathy . Thank God , the days of delusion have in a great measure passed away , and the true light of political equity ib now shining in meri < dian splendour . The object of this appeal is to urge upon the wealth-creating working classes to prepare against the approaching crisis in our political affairs , the general election . It is . expected that parliament will be dissolved in a very short time ; in fact , candidates are already in the field , and then men will be returned for seven years , either the friends to the rights and liberties of the people , or their enemies , Great parties are already marshaling thei * strength . One of these parties is the Aristocratic party , and the other the . Democratic party .
or , in other words , the party of the people . The first great patty is divided into two sections , called Tory and Whig . The Tory will seek your support and suffrages in Bupport of the " constitution . '' He will tell you of the gloriouB Buccess of our Beets and armies , the celestial union of church and state , and the wisdom of our forefathers . The Whig will talk glibly of " the progress of civil and religious liberty , " and will hesitate at nothing in the way of humbug , if he only can secure the support of the people . Never let the people forget that it was the Whigs that passed the New Poor Law Amendment Act ; who transported the Dorchester labourers , and Glasgow cotton-spinnei-8 , and who have been the « u compromising persecutors ef the Chartists in their
eodlike struggle for liberty . Will you , the working men , support aristocracy , whether Tory or Whig , and fall down and worship them ? Will you support thundering standing armies to keep you in slavery , and an unparalleled national debt , and all . to uphold the " glorious constitution of church and state ? " Will yousupport bastileaand low wages ? Will you any longer ahout for lords and lordlings ? Oh no , we trust we shall hear you exclaim in a voice of thunder that cannot be misunderstood : " None shall have our support that will not give us the Charter ; or , in other words , the power of self-government ! " Halifax ,. Bradford , Leeds , and many other places , have now candidates in the field pledged to the Charter ; but these will
merit our support , our pecuniary support . There are many places in the West Riding which have not the great privilege of voting for members of parliament , but would be willing to contribute their mite to assist their fellow-patriots in their struggle with despotism ; for this purpose , a West Riding delegate meeting will be held at Bradford , on the 4 th day of July , and we earnestly hope that every locality will send a delegate with full power to form a fund to assist our friends in the different boroughs in their struggle against tyranny . Walter Lacy , Weat-Riding Secretary , Cleckkeaton , near Leeds . P . S . I Bhould thank all the local secretaries to tend me their address .
Thk Victim Fund Committee and the Vwrms . — To the Editor of the Northern Star . — Sib , — The Victim Fund committee wish you to allot them a small space of the Star , to explain to their subscribers , that they think it most unadvisable to keep making subscriptions for individual victims to the detriment of equally deserving and necessitous persons . The committee havehithertomade a fair and equitable division of all monies that have been received by them , amongst several worthy and deserving patriots ; but recently , subscriptions have been made for particular individuals , Which has eiven
rise to much dissatisfaction . The committee therefore hope , that in future those friends that are in tbe habit of subscribing their mite in aid of individuals , will send the money to the general fund , so that all may share alike . —On behalf of the committee , Ihomas Clark , Secretary . London , June 24 , 1847 . So tioh . —A camp meeting waB held here on Saturday evening last , at six o ' clock . Wm . Eramett in the chair . Mr Ernest Jones addressed the meeting , whose emaciated appearance bore full testimony to the necessity for political reforms , and whose spirit showed they were determined to obtain it ii 1 mi

WOOL . losDou , June 28 .-Tho public sales have closed some . what more firmly than they commenced ; but no improve , ment can be noticed in the quotations .

Our market to-day has been very animated , the trade buying with much spirit , and this , added to a fair demand from speculators and exporters , has swelled the sale up to 10 , 000 bags . 7000 being foir consumption . Prices are Jd higher than on Friday . *™ y * \ \ , —The sales are 8 , 000 bales , of which speculators have taken 4 , 60 u . The market is firm , and last * Amencau fu "y J ' d hiSher than on Friday The Potato Caop . -On Saturday many of ithe market gardeners at Mortlake , Barnes , Putney , Fulham , and Places adjacent , commenced moving the crops , which , without any exceptions that could be asoertained , are perfectly free from the aphis vastator and all other kinds of diseases . The number of potatoes o \\ each root ib about tne average , and they are as fine and sound as in anv previous season . Through the county of Surrey generally , the potatoes are in a most healthy condition .
STATE OF TRADE . fwifn ' ^ amount of business transacted in our uotn Halls has been again very limited ; stocks , however , are low , and prices well maintained . In tho warehouses uiere is very little doing , but as it is between the seasons , it is usually flat at this time of the year . Bradford . -There has been no improvement in | the ? emand for wool . Prices are very firm . This was partly induced by tlie accounts from London of the sales of tolomal wool . There is an increased demand for yarn , ana , if anything a shade of improvement in prices . Hocudalb FLiNNEi , Mabiet , Monday . —The flannel market to-day has been the dullest we have witnessed for several months past . It was nearly noon before any buyers made their appearauce , and even when they were offering lower prices for all sorts of goods ; in most instances , manufacturers were obliged to submit to tbe prices offered . The wool market was exceedingly flat ; handloom flannel operatives have scarcely anything to do , and their wugi'sarc miscrablo in the extreme .
Leicester . —There ia a tendency towards an improvement ia the demand for coods , and some hosiers have partially set on their hands again . There has been ir . of * doing in yarns at a slight reduction in price ; the spinner * still work short time , and complain of not being abletO purchase wools to meet the prices yarns aro selling for . Nottingham . —Tho cotton hosiery trade has improved . This change far the better is not , however , very perceptible at present . In several villages the greater part of the stockiiiRors are out of work , and in some cases aro set to level hills aud such like labour . The fancy bobbing net trade continues in a very despairing condition , not only in this country , but also in France and Germany as machine lace in not now held in the eutamtion it has been . The prices oftewd for nets are in many instances ruinous so as to prevent all speculation , and leave the machine owners no alternative b it to decline making . The cotton wnrp lace trade is in a deplorable state , and some of the smaller houses ore turning their attention to bobbin-net . me silk warp branch is rather better than the cotton , and seems likel y to contimie ao .
