STATE OF .IRADE.—The cotton hosiery trade,
especially in the cut-up departments, is in the same
state as previously reported, and many hands have been
out of employment more than two months. That this
does not arise from any foreign competition, is evident
from the state of the worsted hosiery trade of Leicester,
in which England has nearly the monopoly of machine-
wrought hose: there the distress is so great that the
public offices and private houses are literally besieged
by beggars.—The drawer branch is much better than
the cotton hose department, though both are made from
wide frames. This is a great relief to Nottingham, 25
it is the principal seat of this manufacture.—The cotton.
glove branch, which is very extensive in the vicinity a
this town, is in a much better state than the silk.—The
silk hose trade, whether plain knotted or fancy, is very'
drooping, and may be considered in some quarters hag
extinct.—The fancy bobbin-net trade is still very dug
as respects demand. The stoppage of a London house
in the lace trade, whose liabilitit s are said to amount to
70,0001., has not improved matters. We are glad, how'
ever, to perceive, in more quarters than one, that the
spirit of improvement and exertion is reviving, and vr.,,,65
have seen some specimens of lace that we think ivtl3,
have a tendency to renovate the character of plat anti
straight-down nets, and the change will be beneficially
felt by the trade at large. There is yet a large field
for improvement, and we rejoice to perceive that the,
spirit of despair, amongst the inventors and mechanic*
is passing away, and that hope, mixed with fortitude,
succeeding the gloomy feeling of despondency which
has prevailed for nearly two years.—Nottingham Review.
A letter of the 27th, from Berlin, says—" It iS*
rumoured that the Emperor of Russia has resolved to
place here a very considerable sum of money—sores
accounts say 11,000,000 and others 15,000,000 ailnre't
rubles. It is asserted that this loan will not be matt*, to
the Prussian Government, but has been offered '.O the
King personally. The importance of this ;set -win not
escape any one who has followed the ree,lit Incidents of
our internal politics. It is not useless, to ;tad that a per-
sonal lean to the King is not a n
extraordinary expenses oceasi (-Ivi thing; when the,
"Jri
Europe in 1830 exhausted the, e(1 by the state of
Tr',asury, the King Per"
sonally contracted a loan of, 10 :000,000 thalers."
