TRADE JN PAISLEY.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT).
SEPT. 12.—" Trade here has greatly improved. The
working people are beginning to obtain abundant employ-
ment. There are some here of opinion that rather too much
was made of the recent distress in this neighbourhood—
doubtless from the most benevolent intentions. The unem•
ployed were so well provided for, that, I am persuaded, a
great number of the inferior workmen would have wished
the continuance of the non-employment system.' Alto-
gether we are in a most unnatural state. It would re-
quire too much detail for explanation, but I am satisfied
the evil may be traced in a great degree to the large com-
mission houses—capitalists—who monopolize every specu-
lation for the realization of inordinate gain, and who fa-
voured by the Bank, the great monopolist, give rise periodi-
cally to over-trading, which is followed as an inevitable
consequence, by stagnation, and subsequently by the starva-
tion of those who cannot hold out, but require to be sup-
ported by daily industry. Another cause is—strange as it
may appear to you—the distressed state of Ireland. Pais-
ley and Glasgow are inundated with weavers from the
north of Ireland, who are glad to work for any wages of-
fered them, and whose previous habits enable them to
sustain life on any kind of fare. Moreover the fancy
goods of Paisley are now manufactured in Belfast and
Limerick at prices lower than they can be produced for
in the West of Scotland. You will thus see how deeply
interested we are here in the improvement of Ireland,
which cannot fail to be deeply beneficial to the British
Empire." •

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELTE O'CLOCK.

We have no arrivals this morning ; consequently there
is a great dearth of intelligence in the City, up to the pre-
sent hour. During yesterday the British Market conti-
nued inactive. There was a good supply of money in the
Market, and Consols closed firm at 92 to for the Ac-
count, and 91i for Money ; opened this morning at the
same prices. Exchequer Bills, 48 50 ; India Bonds, 52 54.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active closed at 20i
with Coupons, and Ex-coupons 19i to 20 ; opened at the
same.

The Bonds of the South American States, late in the
afternoon, experienced an improvement. Colombian rose
to 261 ; Mexican, which was in the morning 261, at the
close of the market went up to 281, owing to the arrange-
ment of the debt lately proposed to the creditors by the
Mexican Government. _

26 ; opened at the same ; Colombian opened at 26 ; Mesi
can, 281 ; Dutch Two and a Half, 54.
HALF-PAST ONE.

A letter has been received by the steamer of the 6th
inst., which arrived the day before yesterday from Lisbon
from an •fficer in General Sdldanha'sj army, stating that
the ►hole of Bomfim's cavalry. had deserted to Saldanha,
and his opinion was that the Chartists would succeed. We
also hear that when the steamer was off the Rock of Lis-
bon, firing was heard, supposed to be in consequence of the
accouchment of the Queen of Portugal.

THE H WTI L A NDS.—We can now speak with some
certainty as to the doings on the hills. The season has
been one of the best that has been known for some years.
On the high grounds wanting water the birds arc scarce,
and occasionally a greater proportion than usual of weak
birds has been found ; but take❑ altogether, the season has
been far beyond an average one. We have heard of heavy
scores from Fella (Mr. Stanley's) rilendye (Sir James Car-
negie's), Cognafern (Lord Saltour.'s), Badenoch (Mr. Bail-
lie's), and Killin (Mr. Barton's) ; but the best individual
clay's sport we have to record was on Lord Lovat's ground
at Kahn, where Captain Hume bagged, on the 15th ult.,
fifty-six brace of strong birds, over one clog. The deer are
acknowledged by all parties to be on the increase, and
those killed have been in good cdndition. Last week in
Glenstrathfarar, Lord Lovat killed a brace of good stags,
right and left. One of them weighed upwards of pinctetni
Small pox is very prevalent in Salisbury micl
neighbourhood, and several children have lately died in
consequence of its baneful effects.
The steamers now run between Liverpool and Dub-
iiu in eleven hour:,
