THE TURN-OUTS AND POOR LAW RELIEF—About 2,000
of the factory operatives attended at the relieving offices on
Tuesday morning to request relief, and their names have
been enrolled.
IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE TRADES. —A meeting of
delegates from the various trades in the town was held last
night, at the Commercial Tavern, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the propriety f aiding the factory opera-
tives in their struggle, and taking steps to contradict the
misstatements that had been put forth on behalf of the
masters, by the gentlemen that had assembled at Mr.
Grant's Temperance Hotel. There were upwards of thirty
delegates present, and, after coming to the resolution to
raise funds this week to meet the emergency, they adjourned
to Monday evening next, to await the decision of the mill-
owners on that day.

IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY PASSENGERS.—PAYMENT OF
RAILWAY FARES.—Several of the railway companies have
just given notice at their stations, that an money tendered
in payment of railway fares that is in the least defaced will
be refused.
AN UNKNOWN WRECK CAST ASHORE.—We learn from a
letter, under date Tobermory, November 8, that a brig,
apparently about 400 tons burden, was cast ashore bottom
upwards, and settled down on a rock, on the Wednesday
preceding., between the islands of Tyree and Gunna, in the
West Highlands. At ebb tide the wreck is left dry, but
although she has been carefully scanned, no name can be
seen on the ship, nor have any papers as yet been found
which might enable Lloyd's agent to identify her, and trace
the owner of the ship or carg;o. She is laden with deal and
sawn timber, is evidently of British build, and, from the
growth on the sides and bottom, appears to have been under
water for several months. The cargo extends right fore
and aft, from which it is pretty evident that the cabin must
have been on deck ; but, as we have said, the keel being
uppermost, this has not been positively ascertained. The
hull is quite entire, and there is little doubt that she has
foundered, and that all hands have perished. Lloyd's agent
is doing his best to save the cargo, and has broken through
the bottom for this purpose ; but the work is difficult, for
the ship lies on nearly the wildest and most difficult part of
the west coast.

NormonAm TRAM—The lace trade continues with-
out any alteration, being exactly the same as last week, with
the exception of one or two considerable houses, who happen
to have picked up orders, and appear to be tolerably busy,
working till nine o'clock, whilst the great majority are doing
scarcely any business whatever, and closing at sax. Things
therefore continue to be very dull. A great many hands
are out, and must remain out of employment, unless a
speedy amendment take place. There is no branch which
is doing well, and the business transacted, has for the most
part been in the execution of orders left on hand by German
buyers, and for the Australian markets. Hosiery in the
better classes of goods is brisk, a good deal of business
doing, and extensive orders have been received from the
American markets.—Nottingham Guardian
