“We are utterly unable to account for the appalling 
increase of crime which now prevails throughout 
the Kingdom, from one extremity to the other; 
“but ‘such’ is the fact, and’a most lamentable one it 
‘is. In our own city, with a population by no means 
large, anumerous list of criminals, of almost every 
grade in iniquity short. of murder, have this week

It is lamentable to detail the distress of the ma- 
nufacturing population. There being but a small 
chance of their condition being soon bettered, they 
are fallen into the most gloomy despondency ; and 
are now quite callous and indifferent about public 
affairs. Long suffering appears to have completely 
broken their spirits; and destroyed that tone of 
manly independence for which they were formerly 
distinguished. Weavers of the most virtuous cha- 
racter, and whose lives'have been devoted to uni- 
form and incessant industry, finding all their exer- 
tions vain to procure the means of subsistence, or 
to give their families that education which alone 
can render them of value to society or themselves, 
are now zealously devoting their attention to the 
means of. expatriation to a foreign land, as the only 
hope of relief. Their ordinary working apparel is 
completely worn out, and unfit to withstand the 
severity of winter; and many families, who are 
solely dependent on the loom, are in a state border- 
ing on starvation. They are scarcely able to com- 
mand a meal aday, andsare often without a fite. 
It is the general opinion of those best informed, that 
the habits of the working classes are fast deteriorat- 
ing to the condition of the neglected Irish; while 
the Scotsman has not the buoyancy of spirits of the 
Irishman, who will make a jest of his own misery. 
The weavers of Parkhead, and other districts near 
Glasgow, are about to have meetings to send up to 
Parliament a representation of their dreadful state 
of destitution, and the impossibility of their con- 
tinuing longer to exist under such privations.
