THE RING.

SPIIINO AND LAXGAN.—SitUDLIT evening being appointed for
making a second deposit towards this interesting match, at Ran-
dall's, llole-in-tbe-Wall, in Chancery-lane, a numerous party of
amateurs asoembled in the Nonpareil's best crib, and long before
the time appointed, not a seat was to be obtained. Langan was first
in the room; he was in high spirits, amusing the company with
Irish anecdotes, told in genuine rich brogue, and the fancy were,
so eager to obtain a sight and a hearing of the Irish Champion,
that the chain and tables were mounted, in utter disregard of Jack
Randah's furniture. The forms of politeness, and the forms of
the landlord, were alike trodden tinder foot, and one of the latter
came down with a loud crash, froGehog about a dozen Writes at
once. Shortly before ten o'clock Spring appeared, and was loudly
applauded. The stakes were then deposited—the men shook
handr--drank each other's health, and Langan observed, " Let's
have no disagreeable ../sdfug on the subject; we'll be friends to.'
night, at any rat: !" Siaty pounds to forty were offered on Spring,
but refused ; when Langan observed, he would take 70 to tn.
" bet you," said Spring, " twice over, if you like !'' " Agreed !"
m id the Irishman, and both the bets were made accordingly.
Grvg and steamers then became the chief objects of attraction, till
the night was far advanced.
KENZIT AND BARNEY AM/DN.—Bob Kenzit seems inclintel
to try his luck in the ring with Barney, whom he has thus chid.
lengcd There has been so much chaffitrg about Mr. Barney
Aaron being a second Dutch Stun, sod ready for any man of his
weight in London, that, to stash it at once, I beg to inform him,
that my money shall be ready at Mr. Randall's, Chancery-lane,
on Wednesday, the 17th, to light him for MI. a-side, by giving him
a stone in weight. " Boa KENSIT."

may be of some importance to many of your connuy readers, who
are not immediately connected with the money market, to be in.
binned, that in this case silence does not give consent; and unless
they signify their assod to the proposal in the terms specified in

..
" That the course pursued by the Committee of the General
Association of the Silk Trade is entitled to the cordial approbation
of this meeting."
This resolution was carried unanimously.
JAMES PATTISON, Esq. consilered, that while it was the
bounden duty of those connected with the silk trade to watch
carefully over any innovation that might be proposed, which would
hare a tendency to shackle the manufacture, it was at the same
time their duty to state the grievance with respect to his
jesty's Government; he would therefore move the second reso-
lution.

Resolved—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the secu-
rity from foreign competition, which has been granted by the
Legislature to the silk trade, and consequently continued by re-,
patted enactments, and at length made perpetual in the year 1300,
has essentially contributed to that state of prosperity at which it
has now arrived, and has led to the investment of large capitals,
upon the faith of Parliament."
P. TATILOCIL, Esq., seconded this resolution, welch was Wiled
unanimously.
J. B.%LLAircE, Esq. called the attention of the meeting to eir-
cumstances connected with the silk trade. He said it was admitted
that their competitors had machinery sad skill superior to our
own. The trade bad_ yielded itself to the circumstances under
which it was reared. He then went an to take a perspective view
of what would in all probability take place, if the proposed mea-
sure of Oovernment was adopted and carried into effect. The
consequence would be, that the occupier of 400 looms at present
would be reduced to forty, and the dlkuts would be severely felt by
thousands of persons in the medium situation of life. Hear, hear.)
The number of weavers in the parish of Bpitalfidds, Si. Matthew,
W
Bethnal-green, Alile-end, and St. Leonard, Shoreditch, amounted
to upwards of 80,000. hat effect, he would ask, would this
measure have on the interests and the comforts of this vast popula-
tion? Where, he would inquire, was the probability of orders
being received, in the month of July, 1828 ? It should be consi-
dered that the silk trade had an overwhelming competition; and
without any further measures than those which existed, it would be
years before it could emancipate itself from the fetters with which
tt was shackled. He concluded by moving the following resolu- '
don, which was seconded by Kay, Esq. of Manchester :
Resolved—" That the proposed repeal of the prohibitory laws,
in regard to the introduction of Foreign wrought silks, at the
fixed period of two years, from the fish July next, although
combined with an immediate reduction of duty and a liberal
compensation on existing stocks. is viewed by this meeting
as threatening the eventual destruction of the silk trade of this
country."
On the resolution being put Mr. Trion rx rose to oppose it. He
contended that the consumption of silk in this country was equal
to that in France; and that we should bgenahled by the remission
of this prohibition to equal thew la the manufacture of the snide.
(Lout, cries of disapprithatian—the Chairman called to order). He
asserted that England would have been better off if no such prohi-
tion had ever existed, on the back of which had ridden-in mono-
poly ; and if it never had, we sboal4l have been able to meet any
foreign market. Ile therefore entreated the Meeting not to view
the messwee wish she =Crewe despondency which souse persons had
nianitested.

Mr. Gams replied to the observations of the last speaker,
when the resolution was put, and carried unanimously.
THOMAS Giallo fir, Esq. then moved the following resolution :
•• Resolved—That with all due deferalce to the sentiments of
his Majesty's Government upon the question of free trade, this
meeting cannot but lament the introduction of the proposed mea.
sures into Parliament sad it is of opinion, that it would require a
period of not less than live years to afford the silk-manufacturer the
means of ascertaining how far he may hope, with any degree
of success, to compete with the introduction of foreign-wrought
silks."
Mr. 0 Issow addressed the meeting in a very able speech, which
was received throughout with considerable applause observed
that owing to the little support they received, it was almost a hope-
less task to expect to carry their wishes into effect ; that being thecase,
it was tit to look round and say, what alternative presented itself?
He thought the resolution he held in his band the best calculated for
that purpose, but this would be proved, when it was delivered by
the worthy Chainrusu to the considesaum of the meeting. (Ilear.)
With respect to the obstacles in the way, it was alleged by some,
that our machinery was imperfect--but did it follow from that, that
it might norbe improved. It might be effected in time by skill and
perseverance—but it was nut the work of a single day. (Applause.)
France certainly possessed a superior machine, but yet, did it fol-
low
that we might not, in progress of time, arrive at the same de-
gree of perfection in that respect. Mr. 0. then proceeded to take
a review of the foreigii markets—he contended that from the dis-
tance of those markets it was impossible that the necessary nego-
elation child take place in a day (hear)—nor could they be effected
in two years and a quarter. (hear, hear.) This space of time had
been cohcedeyi by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but it was only
a mere reprieve, and it would follow that their competition would
take advantage of the interim. Ile implorsi the meeting to unite
in soliciting his 3lajesty's Government tor a further length of time.
If the proposed measure was adopted, the whole manufacturers of
Great Britain would go about with a halter round their necks. If
the proposed measure was adopted, the consequence would be, that
the British capital would be taken to France and invested, not only
in its trade, but also in its machinery.

I Wm. K.sv, Esq. seconded the resolution, and observed, that
j until France and Lagland could enter the market, and compete on
tair terms, which he thought they could not do in less than fine
years, he should oppose the contemplated plan.
The resolution was then passed unanimously.
JOSEPH littotrr, Esq. ,hen proposed the following resolution
Resolved, " That it be referred back to the l'onimittee of the Ge-
neral Association of the Silk Trade to watch over the progress of
the proposed measures, and to endeavour, by all practicable means,
to further the objects of this meeting."
J. PAT TISO N, Esq. seconded this resolution. lle could not re-
frain front expressing his cordial aatialiction with the measures
which were adopted. He would briefly refer the meeting to a cir.
cumstance connected with the trades—it was, that the East India
Company had not been idle spectators with regard to the measures
proposed. In his( Mr. Pattisoffa) opinion, the import of a larger
quantity of raw silk would be attended with this effect, vin—that
the quality would not be so narrowly watched and appreciated. It
I was obvious that an alteration ought not to be prematurely made.
As mechanics, the meeting mint know that • revolving wheel,
which went round swiftly, would collect a large quantity of silk—
but the wheel which was slow in motion, would collect a much
smaller quantity, but it would select the best. (Loud applause.)
Ile concluded by expressing hi. anticipation that the Chancellor of
the Exchequer would listen to the prayer of the meeting.
The resolution was then carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks was then parsed to W. Hale, Esq. the Chair.
man. And it was resolved to advertise the various resolutions in
all the Loudon papers; and also in as tunny provincial papers as
the Gommitteesiwukl decide upon.

The meeting, wliodi “ppeared to be most unanimous, then dis-
solved.

His Majesty's ship'the Gloucester, commanded by Sir
Edward Owen, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morning
from South America.

CAMBRIDGE FEBTIVAL.--CAMIIRIDEE, MARC!! 10.-A

of Downing College read a letter from Madame Catalani,
proposing to undertake a Musical Fe:tival on a grand scale,
at her own risk, and to allow a very handsome per centage

the proposition, and voted thanks to Madame Catalani for
her liberal ofrer. The Committee was re-appointed to ar-
range the preliminaries, and them eting was adjourned to
