Rhode-Island Insolvents.--We mentioned a few days since, that the Providence Journal contained the notices of ninety-three individuals who had petitioned for the benefit of the insolvent law. The Daily Advertiser of yesterday says, that of this number, there are but ten who are Manufacturers, and every one of these resides out of the town of Providence. Of the remainder, twenty-five reside out of Providence, comprising 1 shoemaker, 6 laborers, 1 scythe grinder, 2 housewrights, 1 chaissmaker, 1 cooper, 1 tailor, 1 mason, 1 wheelwright, 1 accountant, and 3 husbandmen, those last showing that the general distress has extended even to the farmers.-- Fifty-eight of the petitioners are residents in Providence, and but one of these a merchant having connexion with manufactures. The remaining 57 comprise 11 traders, 6 tailors, 1 accountant, 3 mariners, 1 cigar maker, 8 housewrights, 2 shipwrights, 1 blacksmith, 5 printers, 2 laborers, 2 masons, 1 stone cutter, 4 butchers, 1 engraver, 1 barber, 1 cabinet maker, 1 widow, 1 bookbinder, 1 distiller, 1 shoemaker, surveyor, 1 innholder, and one of no occupation.
