MANCHE/STIR, JAN. 22.—There is still a very Bat wd
pressed market, notwithstanding the resumption of se,*
by the mills, which has gone on so interruptedly rime t*
commencement of the year, and there are fears enter**
of a necessity to return to more restricted Rieder:ion 4,6_

state of things, they have been too heady entertain*
It was hardly to be expected that the nom* own

WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Lzens, Jan. 22.—The ala&

r..ry numerous, and, though the amount of business try.
acted was not so large as we bad the satisfaction to report*
Tuesday last, yet it was fully equal to what has been does
on any Saturday for some time past. The cloths sold era
principally milled fabrics of the middle qualLies, and of
varied colours.

THE IRON TRADE,Burtftec:men, lAN. 22.- -The
actad
state of the iron trade has undergone little change since au
last notice. The masters are in as unpleasant a lit as dui
well can be. The trade strike has extended rather time&
creased, and during the past week the men have erodible,'
their wrongs in a tone of louder defiance, and as eaass
of a menacing aspect than before. Mewings have beenbal
in all directions during the week, but especially- in the era
ley district ; the men have been addressed by delegates gem
the National Association of United Trades in London, sag
enjoined to preserve " peace, law, and order." This whole-
some advice, however, appears to have had but little effect.
At five o'clock on Thursday mwaing a vast melamine of the
colliers assembled at a place near Holly Hale. They pray
ceeded to the different pits in the neighbourhood, and cere.
pelled the men who had resumed their labour 'pia to
quit it ; a slight skirmish took place, and in the clone of it
a girl was struck down with a brick-cud. Last evening than
was another large meeting of the men at Common Side, ales
near Dudley : from five to six thousand were present, and
several harangues were delivered. A Mr. Robson, from the
association already referred to, enjoined the men to become
members of it ' • and thereafter the question was pot as to
whether work should be resumed at the proposed reduced
rate of wages. Not a single hand was held up for this
proposition, but the converse question being pat ens.
ther they would stand out against the reduction," it
was responded to be a simultaneous and unuitans
show of hands. The meeticg separated peacefully_
mindful probably of the fact that a troop of
dragoons, already billeted in the town, would be out
at a moment's notice. The magistrates have named a
notice warning the colliers and others to re frain from bread=
of the peace, and expressing the determination oa the put
of the authorities to afford due protection to those who us
willing to work, and at the same time to punish with the
utmost severity all those who by acts of violence disturb the
peace of the neighbourhood. The miners and ironwork=
in the employ of Lord Ward were to-day to be served with
notices of a reduction in their wager similar to those resolved
upon by the other coal and iron masters of the district.
Judging, therefore, from present appearances, it seems
not at all improbable that in a short time there aPI
be scarcely a pit or furnace at work throughout the
mineral fields of South Staffordshire. Three " ene-
ma* " have already been productive of some disturb-
ances. At the police-court at Dudley, on Friday morn-
ing, two youths were brought up, charged with being
concerned in a riotous assemblage at the works of Mean.
Cochrane sad Oeach, the Woodside Pita, as also at the pis
of Messrs. Matins and Robinson, Sheet End, near Kingswin-
ford. On both these ocesaiora susses were thrown and other
modes of violence resorted to. One man was identified as
having raked the fire out of the lamps, and for this offence
he was committed to take his trial at the sessions. Such is a
brief outline of the occurrences which have taken place, and
of the actual position of affairs in the district: and however
ominous these may be, I am happy in being enabled to an-
nounce that no further embarrassment amongst the principal(
of the trade has been reported. It is important this fact should
be made known, after the extraordinary announcement and
exaggeration which appears in the Morning Herald of to-day
in an article upon this subject.
