FALKIRK TRYST.

In our last report of this important market, the
proceedings were brought up to a late hour on Tues-
day afternoon. On Wednesday morning, the buyers
were early in the market, in. expectation of being
able to purchase at lower prices than had been asked
on Tuesday, but were diSappointed at finding there
were very few lots of the former day's cattle remain-
ing, and little prospect. of many coming forward.
After making every exertion to induce the holders_
to yield, they were obliged to ,purchase at the prices
of the preceding day. ".In concluding our report
of this 'market," says the Stirling Journal, " we beg
to state, from information given us 'by a gentleman,
who has repeatedly calculated ,the gross value of
stock exhibited at the Falkirk Trysts, and who has
had as many opportunities,of coming near the truth
as any person can have on such a subject, that the
gross value of stock exhibited and sold at the laSt of
these markets, has frequently exceeded 500,006/.
Tho,ic who are best. acquainted ~with the trysts w►ll
not he the first to question the accuracy of the calcu-
lation. 'ln our impression of the 27th of September,
1827, a well informed correspondent gives a history
of the trysts, and averages the stock then shewn at
610,000/. The trifling difference in the number and.
prices of the stock may, at guess work, account for
the difference in the amount.—Scotsman.

Since the depression of the Canton crape
shawls, which we noticed a few months back, the trade of
Paisley has been in a very languid state ; and in the light
silk line particularly, the weavt-rs have had a good deal of
idleness lately ; some slight indications of a revival in the
Canton crapes are manifested by some houses ; but as yet,
there is no indication of a revival that will be felt generally
for sonic time. From the advantages derived by the manu-
facturers in having their silk wound in a factory, and the
extensive preparations that have bean made through the
summer for that purpose, there will not be near so much
bustle in that departmeut through the country as existed
last year. In the trimming and heavy shawl department,
there has been little variation for'some time past this
branch is very much circumscribed now compared with
what it was forMerly, and the prices paid for weaving are
about as low as they were during the most depressed state
of trade.--Glasgow Chronicle.

Sift EWAN CAMERON.--Intelligence has
just reached us of the death of a gentleman universally
known aad respected in the Highlands, the venerable Sir
EwAN CAMERON, of Fassifern, Bart. He expired on
Sunday last at the advanced . age of about ninety years.
Sir EwAN will be succeeded in his title and estates by his
eldest surviving son, Sir DUNCAN CAMERON. Two other
branches of the family also exist-_s son, Captain PATRICK
CAMERON, who was lately in command of an East India
vessel, and a daughter, Mrs. Colonel MAcrnEssoN of
Cluny. Sir EWAN has died full of yews and honours—
of honours springing from the retrospect of a long life
spent in promoting the good of .his country, and the happi-
ness of his friends and dependents. In hint were united
the hest qualities of the Highland Chief--4onour and hos-
pitality, regulated and controlled by a spirit of pure an
ostentatious benevolence and sound judgment. Sir EWAN
obtained his Baronetcy in consequence of the gallant con-
duct of his son, Colonel CAMERON, " the valiant Fassi-
fern,"who fell at the head of his brave 92d, on the field of
Waterloo. The title was the free spontaneoas,gift of our
gracious Sovereign, who thus sought to alleviate the sor-
,rows of the aged Chieftain, by reflecting back upon him
the honours earned by his gallant son.—lnverness courier.
