STATE of the NOTTINGHAM TRADE
It is somewhat painful to state, knowing the gene-
ral depression of the manufactures of this district,
that the master silk glove workmen complain that
they have greater 'difficulty than ever in obtaining
material from the warehouses ; and they, as well as
their distressed journeymen, are seen loitering about
the hosiers' warehouses, and their workshops, anxiously
seeking employment.
The cotton glove branch, which is principally car-
ried on in the villages, is also in a very depressed
state, which has a gloomy appearance for the winter.
We believe there is some slight improvement in
the demand for inferior wrought cotton hosiery, such
as are made in the vicinity of Mansfield, being be-
tween wrought hose and cut-ups.
The fancy cotton hose branch, especially of the
finer kinds, is in the most healthy state of any branch
of the cotton and silk hosiery manufactures; but
even in that branch there are many exceptions.
The drawer and pantaloon trade is much in the
same low state that it has been in for months past, the
hands being but very scantily employed, encumbered
with heavy charges for frame rent, &c. It is consi-
dered by some, that the hosiers have, for the present,
missed a rare chance, in,not following up with vigour
Prince Albert's sug-gestion of making pantaloon hose,
which he set the e:•.:ample of wearing; had they made
the drawers and the hose separate, introducing the
India rubber welt at the knees of both, there is little
doubt but the fashion would have become general, in
which case the present frames could not have supplied
the demand. Pantaloon hose were generally worn in
the latter end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and
during the reign of James 1., and they are still con-
tinued for coronation dresses. It is generally consi-
dered the handsomest of all fashions to show a fine
form, but was discontinued on account of the diffi-
culty of putting them on and off, which would be
obviated by making them in two parts. Previous to
the introduction of India rubber, this could scarcely
have been effected, but row nothing can be more
simple, as the form may be equally shown, and the
pantaloon be scarcely seen to be divided ; this may
be done either at the knee or at the ancle.
The bobbin net trade seems yet in the same state
that it has been in for some months past, the plain net
branch being in a most depressed state • one factory
in the town that contained seventy machines has only
twenty-three at. work. The fancy trade is in a better
condition, and though there is a slackness, still we
believe most of the nets produced are, though with
some difficulty, disposed of at fair \prices. The Jac-
quard nets, however, are in general in good demand,
many of the patterns being exquisite. A very im-
portant Act of Parliament (the .sth and 6th Victoria,
cap. 100) came into operation on the Ist September
last. • By this law, any person who has invented or
made any new pattern in the hosiery or lace manu-
factures, can have such pattern registered, upon the
payment of a small sum, for twelve calendar months.
Any person applying any such design or pattern, or
fraudulent imitation thereof, for the purpose of sale,
or who shall sell or expose for sale, any such regis-
tered pattern, or any fraudulent imitation thereof; is
liable to a penalty of not more than 301., nor less than
51., with costs, which penalty may be recovered be-
fore two Justices, or by an action of debt, or on the
case, the whole of which penalty goes to the party
injured; there is no appeal fron the conviction.—
Nottinglarn Review.

LETTERS OF MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS.—Perhaps
no Queen ever lived whose character and actions have
excited more interest, and interest of a more varied
and opposite nature, than those of Mary, Queen of
Scots. .No two people think and feel alike about
her ; and no doubt a chief reason for this is the little
that has hitherto been made public proceeding directly
from her own pen or her own lips. The present pub-
lication by Miss Agnes Strickland of a large number
of inedited letters of Mary, collected from the Royal
Library and national archives of Paris, will greatly
modify the views hitherto entertained of the unfortu-
nate Queen, and they will, upon the whole, raise her
character in general estimation, both in a moral and
an intellectual point of view. Many of the letters are
of high historical importance and most of them pos-
sess a personal interest which no other species of
composition but letters can attain. The publication.
will doubtless be eagerly sought for by almost all
classes of readers.

TIIE NENY NOVEL, EDITED BY THE AUTHOR OF
"THE SUBALTERN."—This new work of fiction be-
longs, as we understand, to that school which has
lately been rapidly advancing in public favour, and.
which promises soon to throw into the shade it.,
" fashionable" rivals on the one hand, and its " senti-
mental" ones on the other—the school of Real Life,
in the true and domestic sense of the phrase. The
author's first production, " The Only Daughter"
(which also appeared under the editorial auspices of
the popular author of " The Subaltern"), fully esta-
blished her claims to public attention, and the present
novel, entitled " Self Devotion ; or, the History o:
Katharine Randolph," is said greatly to exceed in va-
riety and depth of interest the high promises held out
by that work. Its chief charm is understood to lie in
the strong and sustained interest of its plot, which,
while it aims and verges on the deeply tragic excite-
ment of the elder dramatist, never departs from the
actual life of our own day.
DEAF AND DUMB.—In the London Medical Gazette
we find an interesting communication from Mr. Curtis
on the treatment of the deaf and dumb, in which he
advocates the opinion that a cure may be effected in a
large number of cases by proper treatment. He
agrees with Itard, that nothing can be done where
structural defect exists, but many instances are caused
after birth by accidents, fevers, measles, teething, &c.,
a considerable proportion• of which may be relieved.
The tables of M. Schmalz, of Dresden, show, that of
5,425 cases of deaf and dumbness, 3,665 werecirotnh:
genital, the remaining 1,760 occuring after birth,
from
from one or other of the causes first named. These,
unfortunately, are all confounded together, and the
sufferers made the subjects of a course of symbolical
education, when they should have been submitted to
a well-directed medical treatment. Cases of this
kind were seen by Mr. Curtis at Berlin, Vienna,
Haniburgb, and Leipsic. Dr. Bohn and M. Saegert,
of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Berlin, to whom
he communicated his ideas on the curative measures
to be adopted, have promised to make a trial thereof
in their Institution. As far back as 1817 an attempt
was made by Mr. Curtis to introduce his_plani'nto
the Asylum in the Kent-road, but he unfortuately
failed. lie is convinced, however, that the time is
ack
app
no wroaching when the truth of his opinion will be
ledged.
FEAUD.—A new species of artifice has to our knowled-,e, just come
against which we feel it our duty
to put the public on their guard. It is well known
that Messrs. Rowland
labours and highly su and
Sons have, by a series of
in discovering and ceessful experiments, succeeded
which have osbtaomin. preparing for the toilet articles
eu a universal reputation all over
the world.
vile and unprincipled imitators,
destitute alike of beonour and of talent, have conceived
the flora • • '
nous idea of fabricating articles, so closely
resembling those of Messrs. Rowland as to require
a somewhat careful observation to detect the differ-
ence. The objects consist of some pernicious and in-
jurious compound, which is offered to the public
under the name of Real Macassar Oil for the Hair,
or Kalydor for the Complexion, articles which, as
prepared 'by Messrs. Rowland, are universally pre-
ferred and esteemed. The only mode for the pur-
chaser to avoid the imposition, and escape the baneful
effects which their vile counterfeits will infalliby pro-
duce, is to inspect, with great care, the :bottles and
labels, and to ascertain that they bear the actual sig-
nature of Messrs. Rowland and Son. No others are
genuine.
Rom) SHOOTING.-There is a man, residing in
Norwich, who regularly goes out early in the morn-
ing and late in the evening, for the purpose of shoot-
ing game from the roads when out to feed. He is
usually accompanied by one or two others. He takes
a game license, we are told. He is now become an
object of constant vigilance, and there can
doubt of his speedy detection in this predatory method
of sporting.be little

gistrates, but has hitherto escaped the fines and

from the Learned Counsel who appeared for Mr. Rouse,
he should feel himself not justified in voting against
the ieaewal of the license; hut, entertaining the
opinion he did upon the question generally, he could
not record his vote in favour of the application.
After a few remarks from Mr. M'WILLIAM and Sir
J. S. LILLIE,
Mr. Sergeant lIALCOMBE bore his personal testi-
mony to the admirable manner in which the Eagle
establishment was conducted.
The question was then put, when the license was
granted by a majority of 22 to 2.
Mr. THOMAS appeared to support a petition from
William Lovett, Richard Moore, Henry Hethering-
ton, and Benjamin Huggett, jun., praying for a
dancing and music licence, for No. 242 A, High
Holborn.
The Deputy-Clerk of the Peace, having read the
petition in the usual manner, said that he had received
a memorial, addressed to the Court, against the grant-
ing of such license from the Vestry of the joint pa-
rishes of St. Giles-in-the-fields, and St. George,
Bloomsbury.
The memorial was read, and after some remarks
from Mr. Thomas, in favour of the petition, and
from Mr. Adolphus, against it, the licence was re-
fused by a large majority, four hands only being held
up in its favour.
The COURT then renewed all the licenses granted
last year except one, and having awarded a similar
privilege to the Queen's Arms Tavern, Edgware-
road, adjourned at a late hour.

CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW NOVEL,
lIDIERCIV AL KEENE.
" It gives us much pleasure to meet Captain Marryat on
his own element, and still more to greet him there, in his old
capacity as the best naval novelist of the day. His present
novel is one of the true sailor kidney ; frank, easy, and off-
hand, in the level portions of the narrative ; forcible, spirited,
and impressive, where the exigences of the action require it ;
and natural, novel, and original every where. The leading
feature of the design is indicated in the title, Percival Keene,'
a shrewd, mischievous, devil-may-care contrast (and, there-
fore, a companion picture) to' Peter Simple.' The idea is a
happy one, and is happily worked out. The work is one suc-
cession of stirring incident and moving action, carried out by
a series of characters, that in truth, force, and spirit have not
been surpassed in any of the writer's works."—Naval and Mi-
litary Gazette.
