STATE OF TRADE.

We are uo'ry to have again to mention the listres,

town out of employment. Some of the factlries are
working short time, a?d the poor hand-loom weavers are,
almost at starvation point.—Bolton Free Press.
The labouring population of Merthyr Tydvil, and
those dependent on them, continue to.feel most acutely
the effects of the late heavy reduction in the price of
labour, and the enormous advance in the price of pro-
visions.—Cambrian.

KIRKCALDY, AUG. 30.—Trade is still very dull. A
few hands are out of employment. There is little
prospect, in the meantime, of any improvement.—Edin-
burgh Chronicle.

in the kingdom is now smaller than for many years past, which,
with the large and inerea,ing deliveries, will (notwithstanding
