 of the corporation and dock estates, as 

 •nay, by a timely application in the shape 

 of wages, afford a great and valuable por- 

 tion of our populatioH the means of living; 

 vpon their industry, instead of subsisting 

 upon alms. — 5. That this meeting, whilst it 

 finds itself imperatively called upon to 

 adopt every plan which may bid fair to 

 give a temporary relief to the distresses of 

 the industrious poor, can do longer shut 

 its eyes to the causes of that distress ; 

 which causes it discovers iu the national 

 debt, as swelled by the enormous expen- 

 diture of nearly twenty-three years' war, 

 splendid indeed, in point of naval and 

 military achievements, but, as far as pub- 

 lic happiness is concerned, fruitless and 

 destructive. To support this expenditure, 

 governuient demand from the nation, when 

 in a state of exhaustion, ."ums, ju'reater 

 than those, the levying whicli pressed se-

 tJiey have reduced the nation tn this por- 

 tentous state, that, whilst the poor have 

 been crying for bread, the legislature has 

 been employed in devising means to raise 

 the price of corn. — 15. That one main source 

 ,ot the expenditure of whicli we at present 

 complain, is the maintenance, during a 

 time of peace, of a larger army than was

CHESHIRE. 



At the late Chester great MichaeImM 

 fair, the cattle market was never more 

 Hat. Hor.ses fetched low prices. Lean 



mon.o, in the opinion of this meeting, of stock were a complete drug. Sheep and 



itself evinces the neces>ity of such a re- 

 , form as may secure to the people a full, 

 fair, and free representation in that Lo- 

 ponrable house. 



The Leeds and Liverpool canal is now 

 opened, and is likely to produce the most 

 important benetits to the circumjacent 

 f,«iuitry ia every part of jiu ^tsDJive iiiie> 



|iqs niaiutaiiied the prices of last fair. The 

 We! h-flaniiel market was well tilled, and 

 there were many buyers. Manchester, 

 Glasijow, BirMimgliam, and Slteffield goods 

 were in great variety and at low price*. 

 In the hop market there was a very small, 

 supply.
