THE SCOTT AlostimENT-4NECDOTE OF SIR
WALTER. —W e have much pleasure in stating, that of the
sum of 1,000 guineas, proposed to be raised by subscriptions,
for an aquatint prime of the cenotaph, three -fourths have al-
ready been realised. On Wednesday a lady, who called on
Mr. Dick, and left 5/. for the monument, related the following
urputAislied anecdote of Sir. Walter :—When he was a bov
and resideng with his family in George-square, he and his bra.'
thers, along with the brothers of the lady, were in the practice
of vying with each other in feats of physical agility. On one
occasion they proposed to force themselves through the railing
of the square, the centre of wheel yeas then a sheep park. Nil
of them got through but " WattY, as he was called by his CJArn-
Fanions, whose head, from the extraordinary breadth, stuck be-
tween two rails ; nor could he be extricated until a blacksmith
was sent for, who by lever power trived his escape. w,
unders.tand that the Right Hon. Ti!Lomas B. Macaulay has
trensmitted, to the list of Mr. P. IlPLeod, the sum of
twenty
guineas for the erection of the monument.— Scotsman.
STATE OF TRADE.--We have nothing to re-
p:- rt respecting the general manufacture. N.
o change in prices.
A fe more trifling orders have been received for the United w
States. The country trade is very dull. The arrangements
entered into with the houses who suspended payment last
are being regularly fulfilled and the probability appears year
to be
that little, if any, loss will be eventaallv sustained 13

Leicester manufacturers from the heavy bad debts ' -
they made
