SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE COLLIERY DIS tRICTS. WOL r, APRIL 21. The exertions wiich I hays from tints to time milked as being made to put down the track 'picot la this part of tbe estuary ecstasy, unabated, and to a emaiderable same they have bees mewled with esenion. The peer nt. a set appear to be at ell deterred by didleuldes is their may ; ea the exatrary, se them have omen, they have applied diemeehree more inantally to their task. There have - been Mae ern bard before the niegietrutes %ere to-day ; these bey. completely eareesd the mode is which the system i &mdse.. d, and it beatisfactoey to be enabled to announce that eenviettose km bees obtained. As fromeirealutaacee which lave waste my Wm/ledge I lied filet this iniquitous prei tin avedieg is differ. at parts cif the country where large WO: are visit on, I shall endeavoar to give a sketch rather than a report of a cast before the magistrates here, for the gablaace sad inlonsation of those interest:d is other parts of the country. At Grimsby, where some hew docks are in courts of emstreetiou, I am informed that the tommy practice has sprung an, so it has at Olasgow and other party, and everywhere it appear to be equally obnoxious. Messes. Lloyd. Foster, and Co., of the Old Park Work., near Weilnesbory, had so leas thank four teen inforiaatioes pending against them (all laid wider the Track Act, I & 2 Will. IV.), to be dee.ded by the magistrates kers to-day. This drat is ow of the oldest. established and moat wealthy in this port of the country; ono or two members of the tira me of the Society of Friends, sad hereabouts they occupy a very high position. The cutest of their " wale " is eacessoes, and m • matter of necessity, the manna: sad spirit in which they are conducted has a eon. siderabl- effect in the midst of suck • population. The t• works " themselves speak for this ; no one can have tra velled over or be in say way familiar with the South Staffordshire iron country without Maas struck with then as he pa...es, even amidst the enormous emblems of industry which meet him at every tura. Traversing thus birth rood between Wednesbary and Darlaston, the Old Park Works are the conspicuous object ; huge furnaces' foe the manufacture of machinery, and numb. rim smaller mains for earning on the operations of mining arc seen on every side.; at the present moment the nuntlications of the works trend over something like three miles. The iron trade is bad, too, just now ; yet Mean. Lloyd and Co. find employment on this eastern for about 1,600 panties—when the trade is brisk the number is all probability reaches 2,000. Cadortimatelo, in some respects, for their owe reputation, but especially man so for the poor, helelese, reckless, untie. wad people a their employ, the piropneton of the Wedneo bury OW Park Works have act always punned that course sat calculated to improve the moral condition of the people la their employ , or to elevate them in the social scat. Keen. Lloy d hays in their employ • person named Law. ream, who is a bettiemiser, and the peonies of this man appears to lave been to take care that every man employed at their works received payment in such a that the gam portios of the amount of his earnings should be en. tdeel at his employers' tommy-shop. To the great body of the workmen this practice is as hateful as it is oppeasive ; for obvious reasons, however, they submit mlartaatly to the estrange. A circumstance occurred ▪ mouths dare w hich seems calculated to lead to ocar ✓ains which may pat an end to the existing state of things. A sun naiad Daolan, employed m • bananas, was takon Oa at the Old Park Works; Dalin earned something like 2s. id. a day ; the practice at the works use to settle with the men only mice in a fortnight or three week., and in the meantime to give cheques for • taw shillings on account, the same being nominally payable at the office of the Birming ham Banking Company, which is ale sail's from the works, bat really at Messes. Lloyd's Tommy shop. Bootee sub. mated for a while, and them resented this condition. The molt wee, that he laid no less than seven information • . against 'he Mews. Lloyd for an illegal contract to pay in goods instead of money, and these in:ormstions it was which came on 1.4 heanng biros the imagist:mei to-day. • There were present on the bench John Leigh, Esq. (stipmdiare magistrate), William Foster, and Henry Walker, kn., together with a pest number of the mag nates of the mon trade of the district. Mr. &Meant Allen appeared ha the defendants; and Mr. George Edmonds, of Eirminehana s foe the prosecution. The information was laid under the first and second William IV., which prohibits the pa; meat (sewage, in gocds instead of money, and the main sections relied upon were the second and third, which imposed the penalty, and the 2:ith, which set forth that " say agreement, understanding, device, contrivance, collusion, or arratigemsnt whatsoever on the subject of wages, whether direct cr tadirset, whether written or oral. whereby either shall have endeavoured to impose an obligation on them, shall be a ecatreet.. ' Doiai,t;epsiicipal witness on behalf of the prosecution, stated diet la was first employed at Yews. Lloyd's works a few months since; that for the first two dap' labour he received the amount in money ; that thereafter he invariably received cheques for small sums, and that upon the first cuasion of doing this he asked Lawrence, toe defendant, when the cheque woe payable ; that Lawrence took him by the shonider and pointed down to the tummy shop ; that toe a considerable ume subsequently he invariably took his cheques to the same tummy shop, and that upon one occa sion having asked Lawrence, the defendant, for a few shilling; to pay his rent, instead of receiving the entire amount of his earnings in chequer ' defendant told him that if he did not consent to receive cheques he would have no work, and that there would be plenty of others glad to c.,me in. It was further proved that the practice at these works was to give to each man about one shilling out of every live earned in money. With reference to the checks, no evidence was called to show that a single one is s ued had ever bees tendered for payment at the olio; of the Bir mingham Busking Company, where they were nominally made payable. Mr. &Tout Allen addressed the bench at great length on behalf Ca the defendant. He relied principally on the point that no contract had been entered into within the meaning of the statute, and he further insisted that no fraud and no injustice had been done in this case, inasmuch as from the earliest times the principle of barter had existed in this country ; that payment in goods u wages was a national payment, and was practised en the agricultural districts, cad in Se Alasd especially up to the present day. lb. Edmonds replied generally foe the prosecution. Ile adverted to the degraded, wretched, sad helpless condition fate which the tommy system plunged the poor miners. He demeaned it as smut tetanal system, and with reference to the required contract, he said that that was proved by the coatiaaants of the practice for many years at Meson. Lloyds' works, and by the intimation which Hooka had re. Mud to rash his cheques at Mum. Lloyds' weeny-shop from the defendant. . . _ _ Themar,istrates - , after a brief coasultation, decided that, althwagh then were some doubts in this ease which ought to make the cue leniently construed under a penal *UMW, they were aevertkelms of opinion that the information wu sue teased. They therefore convicted the defendant, and ad judgettim to pay a penalty of 51. were darters other informations to be heard against than parties altor this cue had terminated ; in some of them the cwavieting evidence to be offered was of a much more cosehuive ch./sitar. It may be worth white to state that a fortnight since the Mean. Lluyd were convicted in the penalty of five pounds fir Swing illegal cheeks. The poor gas leek- makers of Darlasten have been most realms in putting down this scandalous system and for tunately they appear to have been successful. A lady named Riddin has loos been a must notorious offender two infor mations were laid against her, but she appears to have in closed to the opinion that the time bad at length arrived when she ought to do justice to the poor men by whose hard earnings she has so long profited. Before the cue was galled on to day the following memorandum wee received under Mrs. Riddles own hand : " In col:mouse°, of the withdrawal of ell informatems• against me, end giving up the right of actions, if eay, for weirs, I agree to pay 6 1. sad ekes my shop, not to supply ■oode to workman."--lithioux Darlaaton, April Such of your readers as ars familiar with the condition of the Staff.irdshire colliery district, will readily estimate how usefully and how beneficially Mn. itiddis's example might be followed. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION (IRELAND). The teal receipts of the Ealadestical Commissionen for Ireland few the year ending the let of August, 1849, were 90,6421. 17e. Id., and the disbursements to 84,0001., 25,7261. of whisk was expended on the rebeilding, enlarging, and re paring of chuehes. TUE LANDOW:NEI& DRAENAGI AND INCLOSERE CONPANY.—The half-yearly general meeting of this pros prom company was held on the 11th instant, at the com plays office, Bedford-circus, Exeter, William Porter, Esq., in the chair. The following report of the directors was read —" Tour directors have to report—That having established an office at No. 30, Parliament•street, Westminster, this step has been already attended with decided advantage, and the future prospects of the company are most cheering. The acreage drained within the last half year, has been nearly double the quantity of the corresponding half year in 1819. The amount of wean fur which the terms have been agreed, and now in enures of drainage, is more than double that of the corenponding half year. The acreage now under survey, and proposed for drainage, is more than twelve times as moth as that of the corresponding half year in 1849. From the mullion' report of theaffain of the Company, your directors recommend a payment on account o f dividend, at the rate of five pomade per contuse per annum, for the half yea ending In Mesa. lees, which will Ism a considerable balance towards the Merv* toad." It wee weelved moans mously—That the repeat now read be received, printed, and circulated among the shareholden, and that a payment at the rate of 11. per cent. per annum, less income tax, on the pai up capital of the company, be made to the shareholders, as ,zonat of dividend, for the half year ending let March, MAC payable On the iiw S'istja May next, the surplus pro fit being warted for the swivel meeting in Qctober next.— Bader nom, Poo.

Dwaine, Aram 26. A judgment of great importance as affecting the interests of swings bath depositors, was delivered yecteadayin the Court of Queen's Beneb. The plain tiff in the case was one of the depositors of the Tralee Savings Bank, in whose favour an award had been loads by Mr. Tidd Pratt, as arbitrator. An action had been tried on the award, and a verdict for the plain tiff found on some of the material points, and the present judgment was delivered on a motion to have that verdict entered u for the de fendant, one of the trustees and managers of the bank. The Chief Justice decided in favour of the defendant thus removing the liability from the true tees, and, as a necessary consequence, which the public, under the circumstance, deduce from that decision, throwing the responsibility in the case upon the goverument. The chief grounds of the decision appear to have been the noncompliance of the arbitrator with the forms prescribed by the Savings Bank Act, and heavy charges of negligence or in competence are consequently made against Mr. Tidd Pratt. The Chief-Justice said: The court would regret the determination arrived at if It found that in fact the arbitrator had gone through a duo course of Inquiry, by the re.ult of which he would alone have been warranted in finding that the defendant ought to pay twenty shillings is the pound to the depositors; but he had not instituted suck an inquiry into the se amnia as could have enabled ►im to ascertain the liabilities of all parties. Some excitement has been created by a statement in a Mayo paper, that a wholesale processor eviction had been resorted to by the mortgagees and present holders of the Martin estate in the west of Galway. 640 ejectment decrees have, it is said, been obtained, by means of which 3,000 or 4,000 persons will be thrown upon the world; and in tact means, it is n eeded, are being adopted for the total clearance of the tenantry from those estates, so as to make the lands a more marketable commodity when next offered for male than they appear to have been when last brought under the hammer in London. If this statement be true, and that no satisfactory explanation of it can be given, it is calculated to bring an immense amount of odium upon any plan for extending English pro prietorship in Ireland, the mortgagees being in this case an English company, and the extermination being, it is stated, reported to for the purpose of pre paring the lands for English purchasers. Already the subject has been taken up by Irish newspapers of every party, and both the Mail and the Freeman de nounce this wholesale application of the odious evic tion system on the part of English holders of Irish lands as a "terrible imitation of what has been hitherto held up to public hatred as the most loath some vices of Irish landlordism." " The Killarney guardians," says the Limerick Chro• sick, " have resolved that no system of tenure re quires amendment more than that of Trinity college, who hold 88,000 acres in Kerry, yet their land is the most impoverished, by the principle of short lease, and heavy fines, thus retarding improvement, and de terring industry." It is well known that vast tracts of land belonging to Tsinity College still remain un reclaimed and perfectly unprofitable, owing to the, circumstances alluded to in the preceding paragraph. Hence, notwithstanding the enormous extent of ter ritorial possessions enjoyed by that establishment, Mr. Napier was able, in the House of Commons on Tuesday night, to complain of the limited revenue which the college derived from public sources. In fact, if all the estates of private individuals in Ireland were turned to the very best ac count that the nature of the toil would admit, the country would still be found disfi gured with districts of waste land belonging to Trinity College. DEsTrrrnoN.—Tanday morning a man of the name of Timothy Cunningham was found dead in a pig-stye belonging to Pat %Vault,. of Crataloe, in the parish of Athea, is the amaty of Limerick, where the unfortunate victim was left a lifeless wimp, a prey to *e ravenous birds and dogs of the nmatry. It appears he could not obtain workhouse relief, cn the plea of his being &native of Kerry, *wilt ha lived for the ISM seven years in the very townland is which he died.—An inquest was held on the body by Dr. Enright, eceremer, when the Jury returned • verdict of ditatb, pm:loNa! by cold and hunger.—Limerick Clwasick. SCOTLAND. FATAL ACCIDENT AT PABLET.—A lamentable casualty occurred on Tuesday at Oakshaw Hill, on the site of the Nelson Testimonial. The budding of the foundation has, for 11011111 time past, been in progress. A large block of stone, between two and three tons weight, was being lowered to its seat. Mr. Alta. Fraser, foreman of the work', was standing on the block superintending operations, when one of the crane stays soddenly snapped at the base, and in an instant - the crane itself fell with terrific force, .track him on the head, crashing his body between it and this BIM of stone. Death was instantaneous. The point of the stay which yielded was the iron spur where it catches the earth. This, it is said, henry evidence of having been formerly broken, though bolstered up in a seemingly sound, though really most inefficient, manner. Should this be the ease, a very serious reflection rests upon the party who sold the im plement in that condition. CLERICAL Rev. A.

Austen, C. 8., sad Assistants, Captain Om 'maw, left Woolwich to-day. The scene, is In the cue of the departure of the lavestigator and Eatirprise, was an exciting one, and will long be remembered in connexion with das history of the search after Sir John Franklin. The Jape and Advise steam vessels, having had their dean tip from an early hour, proceeded to take the Resolato end AWamies in tow. On the wharf were assembled the Commodore of the yard, the principal sacs's, and the workamm and laboaren of the factory and dockyard, animating to about 2,000 men. The bead of the dockyard battalion also mustered in uniform. The Resolute was first taken in tow by the Jasper, and as the vessel cast off from her moorings, the band commenced playing " Should &aid acquaintance," followed by " Hearts of Oak," " Jeannette and Jeannot," " Rule Britannia," The assembled thousands immediately gave three loud and prolonged cheers, which was swelled by the crew of the Fisgard flag-ship, who had manned the yards. The crew of the Resolute then manned the yards, and in return gave three cheers. About a quarter of an hour afterwards, the Assistance was taken in tow by the Advice, and left her moorings amidst similar demonstra tions. Beth vessels will lie for IKON days at Oreenhithe, to complete the shipment of their stores, and to have their com passes adjusted. The Intrepid, et.-v., will be andocked to morrow evening or on Saturday morning ; sad both that vessel and the Pioneer will, it is expected , leave Woolwich en Saturday, and .join the sailing vessels at Oreenhithe.

THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY INIVINOREIRNT ON TEE LIBERTY OP BRIM!! Sr wet - rte.—Borns extrauroinary disclesur(s were made at this court yesterday, in a ease of disputed sea wages, in which a black men, named Bawer', claimed a balance of sea wages from Captain Waddington, master of the barque ?dewy Ana. The claim was resisted on the ground that the defendant had paid '2Ol. fur his keep whilst in gaol at Charleston, where he was intheesoned for two months. Mr. Pelham, who appeared for complainant, said the de fence wu a very strangc one. Bowers was t( hen from on hoard the ship in Charleston without any offence being alleged 'gains. him, awl if the captain, who did not resist the taking away, had paid the money, he must he at the loss. Defendant—l cou:d not prevent his going. The constable there came and to( k him away. Mr Yardley—What did he take him away for? Defendent—Because he was a b!sck man. Mr. Pelham—You Buff( red him to do so, knowing that he was a British subj et, born at Antigua ? Mr. Yard!. y (with much sarprise)—Do yen mean to ray that at Charleston the enthorities will board every Beitish ' ship which arrives, seize all the men of colour on board, and cast them into prison ? Defendant—Yu, that they do; and complainant was well aware of the regulation, but he would come with me at all hazards. I had 'moth, r man of colour with me on boerd who refused to come at the same risk. Mr. Yardley—This is the first time I have heard of such a practice, and it appears to me to be almost incredible. Why do they imprison those men ? Defendant—Fer fear they should contaminate the slaves. Mr. Yardley—Am I, then, to under,tand th tt no person of colour is allowed to Be at large in New Or:( one ? Defendant—No freeman, nut h longing to the stee, is permitted to he at !stye; and even those who had belonged to the state, if they hod quitted and returned aga i n , are put into prison. Toe shentf takes charge of black men found on board of vessels, and charges so much a day for their support. Mr. Pelli.m—The captain bad no right to allow the man to he taken from on board his vessel, and he would be justified in resisting such a step. Mr. Yardley—l won't underteke to say whether or not he would be justified in resisting the regulations of the port, of which it appears, by his own admissiore, the defendant was aware ; he took this man, knowing that be was liable to the loss of his services, and the expense , consequent upon capture. I cannot, therefore, unless there he s.,me epeeist agreement in the articles to that effect, mike any deductions from the man's wages, as the time he ip•ilt in prison must be taken to be 'peat in the service of the eletendant. As the summons was taken out too soon, the case is ne a t now before me, and this is but my opinion ; but I don't think that opinion will be altered when I am called upon to give judgment. The cue was then postponed, and the captain was ordered to produce his articles on some future day. Mr. Yardley again expreseiag his surprae at the strange practice which was alleged to prevail at New Orleans. MILITARY.

Law intellteence. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-YESTERDAT. Sirrixas It BA.nro. THE QtIL7N C. WILMER AND SMITH. In this Cu. the Attornerteeneral spilled to have the hearir.g postponed until after the trial of en action now pending. A criminal information had been applied for against the defend►nts, foe as alleged libel upon the Elec tric Telegraph Company. The same libel as alleged had appeared in the Morning Herald, and an action had been brought against Mr. Chapman, the publisher. In that action a plea of justification had been put upon the record; and convenience, if not justice, required that the rule for • criminal information ghoul(' not be made absolute until the jury should have determined in the action in question whether or not the matter complained of wee libellous. The court refused the application, on the ground that it could not, according to any of the known rains of practice, make one case depend upon another, the parties not being the same in both. THE QUZIN O. LATIMEIL—TEE SISTERS OF MERCY. [The following we wee very briefly alluded to in ycster day's Ezpre%.l.l Sir F. Thesiger moved for a rule to show canoe why a criminal information should not be filed against loam Latimer, printer and publisher of the Plymouth Journal, for a libel published in March last. It appeared that some ladies had associated themselves together, living together in , one house at Devonport, and had assumed the name of the Sisters of Mercy. They were supported by a common fund, drawn from their own private resource.. Their superior was Miss Sellon, who had the control and superintendence of the establishment. In addition to the fund in question eubscriptions had been made by charitable individuals, to be administered by the ladies in question. In the autumn of 11149 an opportunity was offered them of proving the sincerity of their professions, by performing some of the scat painful duties to which they had devoted themselves. The cholera, whilst raging in various parts of England, broke oat with great elisions in Plymouth and Davenport. Whilst many stood aloof from ap prehension, or fled from the contagion, these ladies, with dauntless courage, administered comfort to the sick, supported the drooping spirits of the dying, and per forming even the last painful duties to the dead. They felt that they were most mercifully preserved from the dangers to which they were exposed. During the whole time they were in the constant habit of attending Stoke church for the purpose of receiving the sacrament. When the disease had pared away, they thought they could not better show their gratitude for their wonderful deli than by presenting • communion service to the church. They little thought that this would have attracted public attention, mach lese that their motives would have been misrepresented, their sincerity quest;oned, or that their integrity as regarded the administration of the fund contributed, would be assailed. They were certainly very much shocked at reading in the paper in question an article to the effect that in presenting the said service they had mai-administered part of the fund, and that the public should demand an account from them of the mode in which it had been administered. By the advice of their friends • letter was written to Latimer demanding a retractation, to which he re plied to the effect that he would make such re tractatioo cheerfully, if an answer could be given to the charge. The question then was whether a newspaper was to be at liberty to libel a person. and then to call upon him for an answer, with a promise that, should the answer be satisfactory, a retractation will be made. The ladies in question were naturally reluctant to come into court, and had no desire te punish the party who had libelled them. But if their integrity is to be thus assailed with impunity, they would be greatly obstructed in the performance of their duties, and their usefulness would be greatly impaired. It was a coneciousnees of this which alone induced them to come now into court to claim the protection of the law. Rule granted. THE QVLEX v. LATINIR. A rule nisi for a criminal information had been obtained in this eaues last term. Mr. Cockburn 71ow showed cause against the rule. In doing so he stated that the Rev. G. R. Prynne was a cler gyman la Plymouth, a town notorious for the extent to which religious feeling was carried in it. Articles had, from time to time, appeared in the Plymouth Journal, of which the defendant was proprietor and publisher, reflecting upon the manner in which Prynne conducted the service. In January lest a paragraph appeared, headed " Increase of Population," which it appeared Mr. Prynne had applied to himself, and which if applied to him would have been highly libellous, as it would have charged him with being the father of an illegitimate child, and with practices of which he was clearly not guilty, but which he (Mr. Cock burn) coatended did not apply, and was never intended to apply to him. The learned counsel re a d a num b er o f affidavits, one of which was sworn to by the defendant, who utterly disclaimed all intention of reflecting upon the private character of Mr. Prynne. The affidavit stated that the defendant was not the author of the ureph at all ; that he was seriously ill, and incapable of attending to the busi ness of the paper at the time at which it was binned ; that ,it was inserted without hie know e ; that the author of it was the Rev. Mr. Micklewood, • in Plymouth, who had been in the habit of ' unexceptionable articles to the parer; and that the deponent believed that it had no reference whatever to Mr. Prynne, that it was never Intended to have any reference to him, and that it was not generally supposed to have such reference. He then read an affidavit, sworn to by liar. Mr. Micklewood, avowing the authorship of the paragraph, deaying that it applied to Mr. Prynne, cc that it was taken as doing so, and stating that it bag applicatioa to • party who was minis knownteof a Audi in Plymouth, belonging to a sect by the lame of the church of the Second Advent. He then read several affidavits from respectable inhabi tants of Plymouth, all slating that the deponents respectively did not regard the cheep =having reference to Mr. Pilaus. There were upwards of dirty such affidavits, but he only read a few of them. It also appeared that previously to Mr. Prynne and others ankles the affidavits on which this application was founded, sad almost immediately after the appearance of the alleged libel, the defendant called upon Mr. Pryaas.aad denied that the paragraph referred to him, stating at the emme time who was the real author of It, and the ciremealeame anise which it had found its way iato the paper, and iambi M make every satisfaction in his Omer if Mr. Pep= had teesived any injury from it, or thought that it ws• se mg* ha applied to him. But all that he could thee get hoes Mr. Pips= was, that the matter was in the heads tilde mildews. Hs would, therefore, humbly submit that the aninsation twirl exclusively upon a Ws !Wareham's' ea the part of Mt. prynes, and that, under all the circuestaeme of the one, the rule should not be made absolute. But the unit thought that the ease was one which should p tfo a jam and Boyd thereto 'WNW PUBLIC SALES. Arita 2.i.—By Mr. F.

Norrimotux, April 23.—The town, In the early pert of the week, was kept alive by bands of male, the glove hands from Bulwcll and the neighbouring villages coming in great ntunliets, in procession, to meet the town ilove buds, who, It appears, have to undergo a new system, tor nstead a a turnout, us has hitherto been We ease, the master glove hands, encouraged by some of the hosiers, have bad reeourre to a foree.out, having stopped their frames, with the double object of Increasing their profits and compelling the workmen to abandon the union. The hands, la return, confident in the strength of their go. neral union, which extends throughout the three midland counties, have declared that they will not return to work until certain masters, who ore regarded as the instigators of this force-out, shall have paid all eeptiume, which amount to seveml pounds ice day. In the mean time, the workmen are unemployed in large numbers, and unless the demand fur gloves induce the hosiers to interfere, an obeUnate struggle may be expected. This affair is the more to be deplorml, as the cotton glove hands have conducted themselves with moderation. The turnout of the drawer, pistillate, and shirt hands has Dearly terminated, all the Nottingham hosiers having agreed to pay the ad mutecl price; but still an ill.fechng prevails, the hosiers giving out work so sparingly, that more than lofty hands bare to be maintained out of the fund. Th e Loughborough houses have agreed to pay the Nottinglian priv t. The Leicestershire hands are yet upon strike. The cotton cut-up hose branch, although a shade fallen off, Is yet in a yeti fair condition. At Sutton-in-Ashtleld and its vicinity they have a strong union against the bagmen. The systeiu td fining is also tae in that district. nip Is, however, dangerous policy, and timbres universally unachlovous when it has been atiopud in other not only in Britain, but Mother nations. We understand the plain dik Lom Lauds are yet upon strike, but thin attracts little attention, to their num ber Isola. The knotted triunes are engaged in leaking silk gloves; the other silk brunches ate in u most depraved state. In the midst of I Latish agitation, it Is consolatory to limb that the principal manufae turn of the wetly, wrought how, is in such a Natusfsetory state that all hands are employed. The cotton bobbin set trade, considering all diatuivantos, Is is a fair mate, though little extra demand has been oreslioned by the Leipale April fair. The silk branches are still de pressed, but the 'mailer black ham have a shade revived in some quarters. The Basford turnout continues : the dispute has, how ever, risen to that height that the conduct of some of the turnouts ham teen brought before the magistrates. In fact, a violent ill-feeling peered., and as both parties are apparently obetinate a great trial of strength will probably lake place, the workmen being confident in their union.
