TRADE IN PAISLEY.

In our last we referred to the continued depressed
state of trade in this quarter, and in this publication e
regret to state, the pi-aspects are not ()air great deal
worse, but they are really without parallel in the history
of this. enterprising manufacturing community. About
two weeks ago, several - of our manufacturers met with
serious losses by the bankruptcy of some Glasgow and
Manchester houses ; last week, and on the early part of
this! some heavy failures followed in town, but the parties
having for the most part been young men of short
standing in trade, comparatively little weight was attached
to the circumstance except oy those wno were ianneut-
ately connected. By the middle of the week, however
our commercial affairs assumed it more serious aspect, in
consequence (if report speaks truly) of the paper of one
of the most extensive shawl merchants in the country
having been refused by the banks, and that too, as wk
are informed, while the house in question was under-
stood to be more than solvent, and had up to that hour
possessed the most unbounded credit. The immediate
effect of this unlooked for occurrence has been the stop-
page of houses of long standing, and the indispensable
suspension of payments by a number of others. Amongst
the houses which stopped this • week or suspended pay-
ments, we regret to number some of the most exten-
sive, ingenious, and enterprising in the trade ; and
whatever may be the ultimate issue, the immediate effect
must be a great accession to the number of the unem-
ployed work people. We are quite certain of being
within the mark, when' we state that the discharge of
from one to two thousand people of one description and
another, must be the consequence ere another week
passes over.

The trade of Paisley has been in a languishing and
unhealthy state ever since the embarrassments caused by
thef American stoppages in 1837. At that time, and at
various periods •since, an extensive and wholesome trade
could have been carried on with the United States, had
our traders been but permitted to take corn or flour in
exchange for the productions of our looms.. This the
cruel laws which we live has denied them, and the con-
sequent, the indisputable result, therefore, is, a sweeping,
ruinous bankruptcy, the rendering of people of wealth
pennyless, and the idleset and starvation of the working
population in thousands at a time.—Glasgow Post.
