states, that tire letter was temssaiitted to it
from L-icester by ffaCesentlemau• who* was sent
there to eonsmunicateroArpout of the teetfby Bak
ronet's trial, and that4lris Gelitleman bad -recelved,
it from the Under-Sheriffs, to whom it had beeit
communicated by one of the Jurymen.
The Courier further adds, that its correspondent
at Leicester " Owned it to the Gentlemen who
were nt Leicester, for the Morning Chronicle, this_
7'inees, slid the (dope, iii the last of which papers,
if our memory deceive us not, it appeared en the
same evening es it did in the Courier, offering them
permission to make copies of it fur their respective
papers if they so wished." T tte Courier is correct in
stating that a copy of the kites lint:dell to was Inns-
mitted to it from Leicester, in the manner speediest,
but bow far thia circurnstwice will relieve it froin
the imputation of, having been. privy to the ()rt.
gitul transaction, it IS out for us to determnie.
We are also enabled to stile that a copy of the
letter was sent to the Globe from Leicester, by the
Gentleman who was sent there fur the purpose of re-
porting the trial for that Paper, but the Courier is
incorrect in suppoinog that the Editor of the (Vote
was so far the dupe. of the imposture as to give tl.e
letter insertion. In tlf _Globe of Wednesday evening,
thevid of histchaltaitaneeverting on which the Cow-
rier so triuniphontly inserted the fabricated address
to the Jury of Leicester, as the work of some furl.
ous radical, we find the following paragraph
An anonymous letter, printed in script type,
has been forwarded from Landau [to Leicester].

struck fur tire Special Jury to try the Baronet's cast.
It is in the shape cf advice, accompanied with
threat, cautioning them sgainst an adverse decision.
enclose • copy of the letter, which you will pro..
bably not think it prudent to publish."
The Editor of the Globe then adds to his Cor-
respondent's letter, " is as likely to have come
from as satiny, as irons a friend of the Baronet."
The letter was not inserted. sod the Editor of the
Globe now has cause to congratulate himself upon
his caution.

A meeting of persona interested in the linen trade
in Arbroath was held on the 49th ult. in the Town..
hall, for the purpose of Inking into consideistion the
state of the existing laws in Scotland respecting the
manufacture of linens. JANIS M • RNIE, Esq. Pro-
vost, in the chair. From the discussion that took
place, and from the resolutions adopted. it appeared
to be the prevailing °pluton. that a reduction was ne-
cessary in the fres of the stainpmaster, but that the
intertsta of the trade required that the proper mea-
surement and examination of the cloth should be
guaranteed by a respectable and rtsponsible public
officer. A motion was brought forward, to allow
such respectable manufacturers as could give sem..
rity for their fidelity, the privilege of stamping
their own cloth with their own names. This mo.
tion was, however, lost by s gre.t majority ; there
appearing, when the' question was put, only *ix
hands held up in its favour.
