THE SILK WEAVERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Sta,—The Committee of Journeymen Silk Weavers beg leave to
request you will have the goodness to correctftmtnediately a min-state-
ment that has appeared in your Paper* of this dqy, viz. That
a partial illumination took place in Spits'fields, on Tuesday even-
ing, inconsequence of the decision of the Right Honourable the
Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and that it is in contemplation to
have one on a more general scale throughout the trade." No such
symptoms of
all
did take place ; neither do the trade consider such
decision at calculated to call forth any public demonstrations of
satisfaction ; but, on the contrary, the trade is thrown into the
greatest alarm by the prospect of the repeal of the prohibition laws,
1826„ under the full conviction that the silk trade would be to-
tally ruined to this country, by the adoption of so destructive a
measure.

Signed, by the order of the Committee,
ST Er"EN 'Y' Secretaries to the Trade.

KILMARNOCK FASTEN-EEN RACES.

We never observed, in any former year, a greater concourse of
people assembled on the Kilmarnock-links to witness the Fasten-een
races. There certainly were not less than 15.000 people, and we
were happy to see several carriages and gentlemen on horse-back
drawn up outside of the ring. The first foot race was not well con-
tested, in consequence of the celebrated William Dunn from Lou-
&tan being one of the runner*. This man has been known to run
ten miles within one hour; he has carried the first prize for three
years, and has never yet twin matched. This was followed by a
sack-race, each sack being ludicrously painted. They represented
the Devil, Merryman, a Calf on his hinder legs, and a Dancing Bear.
This race was keenly contested. Merryman (who seemed to have
been in a sack before came in first; but when the Dancing Bear
was within three yards of the winning-post, he was passed by the
Devil (alv.aye swift of foot), who gained the second prize. After
this there were seven entries for a second foot-race, in which the
runners were remarkably well matched, and aflimied excellent sport.
A sack-race completed the amusements of the Turf, after which,
the magistrates and a large party of gentlemen retired to the Angel
Inn to distribute the prizes, and drown the fatigues of the day.—
