WARWICKSHIRE, 
Though, during the late cry of distress, very little 
» has been said about the once opulent town of Bir- 
mingham, yet has it suffered very considerable 
privation, and at the present time one-half of the 
working population is out of employ. As Birming- 
ham has so extensive an influence throughout the 
kingdom, those towns whose commerce consists more 
especially in those branches, must of course equally 
feel the effect of the reduction which has taken place 
in copper, iron, and steel goods. Twenty furnaces 
are put out of blast in Wales, and several in Stafford- 
shire. The average price of iron from beginning of 
last year is full 45 per cent.

WORCESTER. 
At Pershore Great Fair there were but few fat 
cattle, which sold readily at from 6d. to 64d. per Ib; 
the supply of sheep was very large, and far exceeded 
the demand, which was unusually limited; price 
5id.; lamb, G¢. to 6}d. The shew of horses was 
large, much reduced in price. It is a disgrace to the. 
police and manners of this highly intellectual coun- 
try, that the custom at Pershore of holding fairs 
in church-yards is not put down; no doubt the prac- 
tice had a religious origin, but at this day it must be. 
obvious to any one that it has any tendency buta 
religious one. Common decency. requires that a
