THE TWO-NEEDLE FRAMEWORK-KNIT-
TERS.—On Monday a delegate meeting was held at the
White Hart, Red-hill, near Arnold, to devise the best
means for obtaining an advance of wages. • The names of
the Delegates having been called over, the Chairman stated
that the trade was such as to authorise them to make an
application 'to 'the hosiers for an advance of wages, and he
was sure that the increasing demand in the market was
their most powerful advocate. It having been agreed to
unanimously by the Delegates that this was a proper time
• to apply for an advance, a statement was handed round the.
room, founded on the statement of 1819 ; the length and
the number of jacks not being altered. It was then re-
aiolved, that a Committee should be appointed to wait upon
the masters, .respectfully soliciting their acquiescence with
the scale of pkices, which should be 'considered as adopted
by the meeting. After resolving that there should. he an-

At Bury fair, on Saturday, which was attend-
ed as well as in general, although not so fully as last year,
(there not being so many beasts by about 1000 head) about
2,500 Scots bullocks, besides a number of bomebreds,
were exhibited for sale. The former (which were many
of .them in excellent condition) sold very briskly at an ad-
vance of from 1/. to 2/. per head on last year's prices,
GallowAys producing from 71. to 12/. Highlanders front
61. to 81. and -ordinary small stock 31. ips. and; upwards.
The sale of homebred stock was by no means so good ; cows
from Si. to 111. barren do. 41. 10s. to 51. springing
heifers 15 to 18 guineas a pair. The spew of horses -was
large, but iris inferior description for the most part—some
good cart horses fetched 40 guineas each, 'but ordinary
ones hung on hand.' The supply of sheep was not huge ;
but some ewe and wether shearlings were disposed of a
265. a head, and a lat of fine Norfolk shearlings at 80s.

THE VINTAGE, &C. IN PORTUGAL.
Er.vAs, Nov. I3.—St. Martin's is the day fixed for proving
the quality of the new wines, which this year prove re-
markably good, but the quantity is very small—about one-
fourth of hist year's crop, or not so much. The pried last
year was from 600 to 700 reis (2s. 6d. to 35.) per -almuda
(4.- gallons); this is from 1,200 to 1,600 reis (from 51.
to 6s. Bd.) in Borba ; in Villa Born it is lower. The me-
thod of making wines is much cleaner than in the neigh-
bourhood of Lisbon. The grapes .are spread on a clean
brick floor, in the centre of which is a cistern to receive the
juice, and are broken by men trampling upon them with
wooden shoes. The pulp is then collected and pressed.
After the fermentation, it is put into large ear hern pots,
containing from 32 to 37 ahnudas, or a pipe of one-fourth.
At the top of the jar they pour oil upon the wine, and no
other covering. When they want to prove it, they blow
the oil aside with the breath, and take out a smina,lltl,h-h(eembapernes-t-
-tity of wine in a small cork dish—they say any thing else
will injure it. There are wines of many different qualities,
both white and red, and the qualities excel:::
quality of red is the bastard and white, of the, flavour of
bncellns, but the transport is so enormous, together with
the duties, and other expellees, that none
sent state of thins, ever find its way to London.---Seots-
