IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE WEAVERS.

On Thursday evening a Meeting of Journeymen Silk Weavers
took place in the ground of the Three Colts public-house, Grove.
street, Bethnal-green. At Meetings previously held, a " General
Protection Society" had been established, for the purpose of af-
fording mutual support in resisting the attempts of such of the
masters as were paying less than the book prices for their work.
At the last Meeting 110tH) persons had enrolled themselves as Mem-
bers to pay Is. each entrance, and a trilling contribution weekly, as
a fund to support those who might be thrown out of work for re-
fusing to accept a reduced rate of wages. It was proposed that
previously to taking any more decisive step, deputations of the
journeymen of each of the manufacturing houses should wait upon
their employers to ascertain their sentiments, and if possible obtain
their acquiesence in the measures of the men. The Meeting of
Thursday WPS convened for the purpose of receiving the reports of
the deputations on the answers of their etnploycrs, and was one of
the most numerous that has been witnessed in this neighbourhood.
The greatest anxiety seemed to pervade the whole assembly, but
the proceedings throughout were conducted with perfect order and
decorum.
iilr. ISAAC Rex[: in the Chair.
Mr. THOSlrsox, one of the Committee, then read the Reports of
the various Deputations. The answers of the undermentioned

MARKETS.

GORN.EXCIIANGB, FRIDAY, JULY 27.
Our supplies this week consist of 3,2,50 sacks of Ibur,
qrs. Wheat. 200 qrs. Barley, 2.9 t qrs. Oats, with en extemire
arrival of furrign Wheat and Oats. The Wheat trade 'was rt.
ceettingly dull to-day, and prices of Monday were bartl7 supprlved.
Barley was likewise dull of sole, thougir having but little on hard
was not cheaper. English Oats were held at higher prices, as
there is now scarcely a chance of the ports opening for foreign neat
month. Beans were in very limited request, at Monday's currency.
Peas continue scarce, and very high prices are asked for the few
samples which come to hand.

:011Til FIELD. Fein*vr, JULY 28.
The supply of Beef In Smithfield to.day has scarcely ever been
exceeded at a Friday's market, and the quality also being bsti.
the few eases effected have been at a reduction of from 44. to id.
per stone. Mutton is an exceedingly heavy trade, at a declined
4d. on the terms of Monday ; and Lambs of the very choicest qua.
lily get two offer beyond ;W.; the general price of good ones does
not exceed 4e. Bd. per stone. Veal is plentiful, and :ales are freely
made at 44. below the prices of Monday. Indeed we have, alto.

FRIDAY. JULY' 8.
COTTON.—The purchases of Paton this week, including the
public sales, are estimated at nearly.:3oo bags ; by private con-
tract the late prices were maintained ; the public sales went off
heavily and lower. The following are the particulars, viz-611
PClnArlig 10d. a 104 d.; 80 Bowed% lid. a 64d ; 300ileans 770
Surat 4?,d. a Shc. ; 920 Bengal 3:1.d. a lid. in bond; and, duty
paid, 200 Demerara 011. a Il&d.; 100 St. Domingo 74d.; 130 (ire.
nada Bd. a 94d. At a late hour to-day, 1100 bags sold, thicfly
Silents, at fid. From the manufacturing districts the accounts are
more promising, and at Manchester the stagnation is changed. for
" more business doing," hut the market wan by no means brisk.
Till Wednesday last the Cotton Market at Liverpool was in a
dreadful state, the prices going lower each succeeding day ; the
accounts from Manchester slope the tall, and the sales on that day
were 1030 bags.
SVGA 11.—The Sugar market has been apparently dull during
the present week, yet we found at the conclusion of each day that
the sale averaged about 9011 casks; it is therefore ,Iracluded that
the sales privately have been considerable. The pri...s are without
the slightest variation.—The public sale of 7.761 bags Mauritius
Sugar to-day went off Is. higher for the inferior, and 25. a 3s. fot
the good and fine qualities; good yellow Mi. a 605., brown 30s. 6d.
a 531. The whole sold with great briskness.—The demand f rile.
fined goods has been very general; the quantity taken for thehxne
consumption of the country rather extensive. The prices are a shale
higher.—This morning the market was again firm, and every ap-
pearance of a further improvement; no low lumps oiler und•t
74... 61, and good ate much higher in proportion. Malaise: 2.15.1 id.
There is quite a new feature in the market to-day ; Green Bastards,
an article formerly in demand for home consumption only, has be-
come extensive demand for export, on account of a bounty being
now fixed at' 75.; the quotation is 17s. a 265. fre on hoard. The
foreign refiners suppose they can Intake low Lump Sugar out of
these Bastards.—ln Foreign Sugars the transactions are not exten-
sive; the prices are rather higher. East India descrieitions are
scarce.

COFFER.—The public sales this week have gone off with some
briskness, at an irregular advance of 2s. a 4s. from the late 'oast
prices. St. Domingo, which was sold for money at 425., is held
about 455. a 48..; good ordinary Jamaica, which sold at 445. bell
for 48a. ; the others nearly in a similar proportion. It will be ob-
served that we have taken the lowest pricey. of the market last ask,
but the extreme depression was never the current prices of the
market. There were no public sales this forenoon, and scarcely apy
purchases by private contract. Very few parcels are offering. We
quote St. Domingo Coffee 455. a 485.. but the market is in such an
extraordinary state that it would be difficult to operate in haying
to any extent, without creating a considerable alteration in the
currency.
SPICES.—The inquiries after Spices appeared to revive yester-
day, but the actual transactions were not extensive. Pepper is
higher, no light offers under 4d. ; Cinnamon and Cassia also in
more request.
PIMENTO.—By public sale on Tuesday, 104 bags Pimento,
fine quality, sold at Nisi. and 100 bags Iti4d. and
IRISH PROVISIONS...-Beef and Pork are unvaried; Bacon
dull, 60s. a Ms. Dutch butter Ill Os.; Irish, free on board in Ire-
land, 80s. a 84e. There is little doing in Butters, on account if
the late favourable weather.
FRUIT.—In consequence of the brisk demand for Valentin
Raisins. and the quantity on hand being small, the proprietors are
asking a further advance, and hold out the 505., which it is be-
lieved ban been obtained; Red Smyrna Raisins are in consequence
"more sought after, but the holders of those also are demanding
higher prices ;in other descriptions no alteration. •
TOBACCO.—The purchases of Tobacco this week are confined
to about 50 hbds. Virginia, to the trade, 34d. a 41., and a few
small parcels to exporters at the same prices.
lt1;31, BRANDI*, and BOMA NDS —The Rum market is
decidedly more firm ; several small shipping orders have cleared
the market of the few Leewards that were offering • we do not
think proofs could now be purchased under Is. Ild.; the chief
!Airtime* have, howeyer, been mule in fine Jamaicas for the home
consumption; 30 to 3'2 over 3a. a 3s. V.—Mandy is loser than
' during the live depression ; old, newly landed, offer about St. 10d.,
and the new 3s. lid. per imperial gallon, but there appears to be no
buyers; no la•ge parcels are, however, proisieg on the market.
Geneva is without variation.
IN DIGO.--Sinde the sale the demand for this article has con-
tinued brisk, and some of the bought-in lots have been sold at 3d.
per lb. advance. The East India Company have been obliged to
employ an additional number of hands, and to work extra hours-
such is the anxiety of the merchants to ship their late purchases'
The public sale to-day, 138 cheats East India Indigo, went off
heavily.
TEA.—There is no alteration in Tea.
OILS.—The accounts from the Northern Fisheries were tae
vague to have much effect on the market; the demand previous y
was considerable. chiefly for home consumption.
HEAFP at.d TA I.LOW.—The Tallow market Ss not so fi:os
to-day, the nearest price is 344. Hemp unvaried. fly public sit.:
to-day, 442 bales sound Hungarian Hemp, taken in 301.. 341., and
25/. ; 129 casks Petersburgh Soap Tallow, 325. W. tuktn in; 10l
casks Siberia ditto sold 335. and 335.
