It givez us pleasure to stato, as an indication
ofdiminished distress ameng the working population, that
the rents due at the late term have been better paid than
usual ; with the exception, bs.,,wever, it appears by a subse-
quent report, of the hulk of the unfortunate weavers. In
many of the thickly inhabited lands in the suburbs, there
was scarcely a defaulter ; and the landlorda were agreeably
surprised to find their tenants so well prepared. This
promptitude of payment is ascribed to the public works
being all brisk, particularly the power loom factories, and
part of the hand loom weavers having their children em•
ployed in these works, which enable them to maintain
their credit. It is to be remarked, however, that tin
practice is becoming more gentral of landlords collecting
their rents monthly, and even weekly; and thougli it is
attended with more trouble, there are few arr;ara, and thy,
tenants make more exertion to c.lisclaarge a mill account
of a few shilling., tban use of some pounds. Vie local
am:Arne:A; are in general collected with less difficulty
than for a considerable period.—Glasgow Chronicle.
