We regret to announce the death of Henry Gaily
Knight, Esq., M.P. He died on the 9th instant, at No. 69, Lower
Grosvenor-Street, aged 59.
Mr. Knowles, of the Northern Circuit, has been ap-
pointed to the office of Attorney-General of the county palatine of
Lancaster, vacant by the promotion of the Hon. J. S. IVortley to the
office of Judge-Advocate-General.
FACTORY Llouns.—The adpurned meeting of cotton-
spinners, which we announced in our number of Wednesday last,
was held at the offices of Messrs. Joseph and William Heron, soli-
citors to the Association, on Saturday, and it was numerously at-
tended. Considerable difference of opinion prevailed with respect to
the subject which ha& been under consideration on the preceding
Tuesday—viz., the reduction of the hours of factory labour from
twelve to eleven hours, upon the passing of Sirßobert Peel's proposed
tariff; and, after sonic discussion, it was agreed that Lord Ashley's
Bill should be strenuously opposed, and that the consideration of the
proposal for working eleven hours should be postponed until after the
passing of Sir K. Peel's measures.—Manchester Guardian.
THE SILK TRADE.—The announcement of a reduction
of duties has caused the most lively sensation amongst the
manufacturers of silk, and protective societies are said to be in
the course of formation in the metropolis and the manu-
facturing districts. The general impression appears to be
that the changes will take place, and many of the first
houses (Messrs. Everington and Graham amongst the num-
ber of those in the retail trade) have already announced their
determination to meet the loss at once ; .but in this it
would seem there exists a keen observant poicy, inasmuch as,
by getting rid of their present stocks at the rate, or even less
than they would cost upon the Continent, the far-seeing
English salesman is prepared to buy the newest and most
recherche goods to start in competition with the Preach
