STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Nottingham Review.)
The making of warp silk blond plain nets, termed by the
French tulle, is not by any means improved. The ram
mours of an abatement in the wages are still continued'
t
but it is to be hoped without any real foundation, as s
would not increase tho demand, but would certainly 2°,6;
ment the privations of the operatives, and lower the vale
„
of the stocks on hands. The warp tattings have not
any means increased in demand, as we see many ingeoicl3Ll',
0
and clever men walking about without employment.
once flourishing village of Stapleford is distressed indre A
The bobbin net branch is thought to be a little iniproye"
in some description of fancy nets ; still the
facturer has a decided preponderance over the macl:,il'"
owner. We stated last week that some machines, were
making 300 racks a week, alluding to a certain t'Ascrir
tion of fancy machines, made upon an excellent ',!onstrt
viici;
tion, propelled by power, and working long Lours, "„
selected hands. This was taken up by
:tome of the
manufacturers, to mean that all nil.chinea were.
300 racks weekly, thus aiming to raise a sort of panic, an
reduce the prices of net, when, in all probability, tb;i
(/
well knew that there were more machines making IA
than there _were making 300 racks per week. The averSt g
product of lever machines can scarcely be said to anloo
to 130 racks a week, even when at work, not including the
numerous stoppages for alterations. The traverse 011:1
hands arc in a most lamentable situation, for want of work
the machines, in this vicinity, stand principally at Sneat°7
Reeston ; a few years since it was the most prospeioui
all the lace branches.
The silk hosiery trade, whether of gloves, plain b°l;
fancy hose, or silk knotted hose, is still in even a w°r"
state than last week.
The drawer anti pantaloon trade is so far recovered, t,--4
at
the masters are complaining of a want of hands, and wonder
where all their workmen are gone to. It appears thac,
numbers during the late long stagnation have left the trailn
with no intention of returning. The worsted hose trio',
in Leicester being bad, several men have attempted toged
into the cotton drawer frames, but they have been four'
very deficent in dividing the work, so as to make a goo
level wale.

A HINT TO TILE POLICE.—.A gentleman going
on feat down the upper part of the Haymarket. en
Thursday afternoon, near the line of cabs there standingd
had an egg thrown against his back, besmearing a new in
expensive great coat, all over, in a shameful manner'
From the direction in which the article came, he had rel:
son to believe it was one of the cabmen that inflicted tbi:
wanton injury. No policemen were in view 8
the time, on eiiher side of the way, nor for some time
atter. Should this outrage be repeated, it is to be hope"
that the offender will be detected and punished, it bajng
a hard case that a man cannot go quietly along the pub:J.--
street witi.out being thus disfigured, his clothes spode
and, the business he is upon being unnecessarily dela,'
and perhaps frustrated.
CAB ACCIDENT.—On Thursday evening, 9
a fine youth, son of Mr. Hughes, of Earl-street, Wall
crossing Ludgate-hill, his feet came in contact with x
slippery part of the street, and, before he could rec°r!,
himself, a cab and horse passed over him, leaving hirnv;„
the opinion of all who witnessed the accident, dead.
being taken, however, to an apothecary's shop, it wilt
ascertained that the injuries, although severe, were
fatal. his face and head were much bruised, and blo°o,
flowed freely from his mouth and nose, Temporary rernii
(lies having been applied, the youth was removed to "be
father's residence. Not tho slightest blame can
attached to the cabman.
