KILICENNEY, SEPTEMBER 13.

Kilkenny September Frize Fair, on :Monday, was
rather more bustling than usual. We were Imppy
to nb•erve the Lord Bishop of Leighltti and Fen's,
in the true spirit of charity, buying goods to clothe
his needy neighbours, and several members of that
must respectable body, the Society of Friend►,
among the purchasers. We understand that cam-
Winos were made of the itifelior quality bf the
goods, which, we trust, will he attended to by the
manufacturers. Considerable sales were, however,
effected at good prices.

A frame-work knitter of this place. who keeps a
shop of frames. and who was suspected of having
waked unrter the statement ;mice:, was placed upon
sit ass. with his face to the tail, and carried through
sane of the principal streets, on Toestl iy last,
accompanied by a crowd of Men and boys. The
Mayor and Nlagistratert. with a view to put a stop
to such illegal proceedings, have issued hand-bills,
offesing a reward of twenty guineas for the
heitsiusi of the ringleaders ((weenied in such out-
rage. The county alagrstrates have also issued
placards, expreestog their strong disapprobation of
the conduct of the frasne-work knitters iii some
part: of the comity, and their dttertnittation to en-
force the penalties of the law against all such as

On Friday a number of jack wires were taken
from about twenty frames at I leather, helmsjog to
Mr. Sherwin, of Coleorton, on the ground that the
frames were working under the hostel's' statement.
It seems the wires were drawn f the frames by
a body of men who had gone from lbetoc4 for the
porpoee, and at the round-house of which place tloy
afterwards deposited them. On Saturday, Mr.
Sherwin having obtained warrants for live of the
parties, repaired to the latter place to execute
them, accompanied by ten persons on horseback.
They were not however then to be foutl, and we
have not heard whether they have scarce been appre-
hended. We understand the inhabitants were not
very ceremonious to their conduct towards Mr. S.
amid his assi.tarits.
The good effects of an advance in wages is strik-
ingly manifest at 11 ur_sage. Some weeks ago, the
amount paid weekly to the poor was from 301. to

Ilia Grace the Duke of Rotlaisil has graciously
condescended to receive, at his splendid mansion, a
deputation, with Dm address, from the frame-work
knitters of lkeston. Ilia Grace hearth with patience
awl sympathy the statrusetst of the poor mechanics,
and made mail inquiries into their case; and after.
wards gave them his pronaim. that he would send
his Agent over to Ilkeston to inspect the situation
of the Prune-work knitters. Ilia Grace's Steward
visited Ilkeston last week, and in the nume of his
honourable emeiloyer, sneaked to find all shove
work. for six months, who could not obtain work,
in their trade. at the stotement price, and to pay
them for their lahonr, so us to render parochial relief
