SERIOUS AFFRAY.—Last night, about twelve oc' a serious encounter took place in Sussex-street, Totten'
ham-court-road, between a party of Irishmen and EcE
lishmen. It appeared that the cause of the quarrelfer;
ginated with who was the winner of some
gargle IV,
were playing in the British Queen public-house,
above-named street. The Irishmen challenged their
Opponents to fight, and several of them immediSle,
commenced an attack, armed with bludgeons.
greatest consternation prevailed in the neighbourh vuse•
and we are sorry to add that one of the parties, whose
name is William Tomlinson, residing in Chenies-rae%
Tottenham-court-road, received such severe injuries et 3.,
the head, it being literally cut Open, that he was imn3ere,
diately taken to the London University Hospital, where
he now lies without any hope of recovery. Four or
of the offending parties were immediately taken into
custody by several policemen of the E division.
STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRA."—.
The general condition of the cotton hosiery manufactures;r
is ab-ut the same as reported previously. In the
wrought hose line, the situation of the workmen is r
mentable, as they are, in general, neither employed 10c!
discharged, vibrating between both, having to attri
day after day for even a very scanty allowance. ~,,
cotton glove trade, though dull, is in a better state than`
any other branch of the cotton hosiery manufacture ;
but the drawer, pantaloon, and shirt branch has net
been in a worse condition for years. The silk hosier.'„
trade in all its branches has not improved. The bobbte,
net lace trade is much the same. Nets are a drill!,
in the market with many houses, who seem to be lesselli
itig their establishments. In despite ,of this untowl°
state of things, we think there will be a reaction for till
better. Greater attention is now paid to the ground 01
net, and as the Brussels ground has, and can he made 13'
machinery, we hope, ere long, to have to announce that
it has been completed. The warp lace trade is in
much
the same situation it has been in for some weeks past, e
tatting branch having to a slight extent superseded to
some articles, the bobbin-net manufacture. The lap and"
press is still in a very fair condition ; but the silk
blond'
is in a depressed state, having a serious rival in the `Yes"
of England silk bobbin-nets.—Nottingham Review.

PROPERTY.On Monday last, at the Police-office, ein";
Green, the notorious receiver of stolen property, *lie%
apprehension we described in our last publication,
°-
committed for trial at the March assizes, on two se art°
counts. The first count, on the oaths of Mrs. W 11500?

ntifiew
and swore to the property, and Superintendent Fi6h°

prisoner's house. Mr. ,r6;00-1)e'
appeared on behalf of the prisoner, azia A

istrates to order 301. of the money found in hiS
house to he given up, to provide for his defence . Tme

priety of granting this request.—Nottinglient Rev, jar.
