Extract of a letter from cue of the Judges in the Insolvent
Court, April 4, 1836
" In the clothing districts of Gloucester and Somerset very
great improvement. No case of the insolvency of a master or
weaver on his own account, where three years ago there were
several. A general prosperity observable in the buildings of
country towns and villages. In the manufacturing parts of
northern and midland counties has frequently expressed in
Court his congratulations to the county, that hardly one case
occurred of the insolvency of master or weaver ; especially

Nottingham
noticeable at Nottingham and Leicester, where, on former oc.
.easions, the number of failures bad been considerable, and the
eharactcrs cf them fraudulent."

STATE OF MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.
Mr. Rickards, April 13.—Universal demand for machinery.
In 1833, 1834, woollen mills in Mr. Saunder's district not em-
ployed more than Lag or two-thirds ordinary time—now fully
employed ; operatives prosperous, not from increased rates of
wages, but from steady demand for labour.

Mr. Horner, April B.—Stocks low, demand steady. fair
prices—new cotton mills in progress—flax-mills erecting at
Montrose, Arbroath, and Dundee. Moreover 'in horse-power
more than one-third in the year. At Dunfermline, 1,000
handloorn weavers wanted. Half mere flax sown in Ireland
than in preceding years.

authority, and under guarantee of the Hamburgh State, beg to in-
form the Public that the SIXTY-EIGHTH LOTTERY of 10,000
Tickets will be drawn on the 23d June next, and Tickets are now
selling at bancomarks 108, or 81. say Eight Pounds, sterling. The

ever, and every holder of a Ticket coming up : one of the 2,000
first drawn Blanks will be entitled, after the fourth day of Drawing,
to the receipt of two undrawn Tickets, gratis, as per scheme.
Owing to the Gratis Tickets, the number of Tickets on Sale is a
very limited one, so that of course they will be cleared off very
rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to
purchase at the present First Price of 81., are requested to direct
by one of the first snails, but only for whole Tickets, to the above
named Contractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg, who beg to de-
cline, as usual, English oiders for any thing less than a whole
Ticket. To those remitting a 10/. note, Heine Brothers will, on
executing the order, send an order for the balance of 2/. by return
of post. A full Scheme and every desirable information being al-
ways sent with the Tickets,- those giving orders will only have to
write a line ordering the Ticket or Tickets, adding the money, or
an order for the same, and giving their full and plain directions, to
secure the safe receipt of the communications
Those honouring Heine Brothers by purchasing, may depend on
their strictest secrecy as to their taking a chance or getting a Prize,
such being the undeviating rule of the old established and most
lucky office.
