MECHANICS' INSTITUTION, SOUTH A M PTON-B UILD •
INGS.—On Wednesday evening Mr. Henderson delivered the
concluding lecture on " London " to one of the most nume-
rous audiences of the session, and judging from the applause,
the subject gave entire satisfaction. Various statistics were
brought forward of considerable interest, and while informa-
tion was imparted, a captivating cheerfulness, and healthful-
ness of tone pervaded the entire discourse. The pictorial
illustrations exceeded in our opinion the last, especially
" Bucklersbury in the olden time, " which was worthy the
pencil of the first artist in that particular line; we hope to
become more familiar with the works of Mr. W. Shalders.
STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The
making of hose, especially cut-ups and other slop
goo,!s, has a shade improved, and most of the wide
frames in this vicinity are at work. The wrought hose
branches have, if anything, a shade improved. The
cot.' on glove trade is still tolerably. brisk, though the
bagmen have met with a severe check in obtaining the India
rubber web, which has been wove on looms in secret ; some
of the welt weavers have been injunctioned, and an explo-
sion and great confusion has taken plate in consequence,
as they must now have the web from the patentees.
The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt branch can scarcely be said
to be amended, though they have in some quarters a little
more employment. The silk glove trade still continues pretty
good. The manufacture of silk stockings, once the main
support of Nottingham. still keeps declining, and from the
bad qualities of the silk used, is likely to further decline.
The fancy bobbin net trade is still in a most depressed
condition, though we find that in some quarters a few
branches are again set going. The warp lace is still in a
most depressed state, with the exception of the making warp
jacquard mitt; gloves, and sleeves, which are rather brisk.—
