Cfl BILIVNATION.
--.......-

The combination which has for some time existed
in the West of Scotland, under the title of 44 the
Weavers' Association," can scarcely be said now to
exist. Its deluded members are driliping off. every,
day, and there is a dread at head-quarters that there
will not be enough of pennies collected to pay the fune-i
tionaries who presided over the delusion. A respect-1
able weaver at the east end of Glasgow, vim had I
been so far misled as to contribute to the maintenance
in idleness of the functionaries in question, and to
lose much time, to no purpose, in attending meetings,
began at length to perceive, what was already suffici-
ently obvious to most others, that no benefit was ac-
cruing from the Association. He had been for some
time working a coarse web, paid according to the com-
bination price, at which he could n t earn above 6s. a
week, and he applied to one of the committee men of
the Association, to know what he was to do ? The
committee man told him that he considered the Asso-
ciation at an end ; it had quite failed in what it had
attempted; and his best plan was to take out a web
at the best price he could get. The weaver, thus at
liberty, took nut a finer web, at a small reduction from
the combination price, at which he will be able to earn
Iss. a week. Nothing can better illustrate the folly of
attending to the misleading secretary trumpery than
the fact,. that whenever a weaver is at liberty to act
for himself, instead of snaking 6s. a week, according to
the Association rules, he is, by following his own good
sense, earning 15s. a week.
Our Reader; will recollect that at the last Assizes,
the Judges recommended to the Sheriff and other
Authorities, to use their utmost exertions, in ever quar-
ter of the kingdom, to find out those persons who were
then outlawed for assaulting and intimidating the
peaceful workmen. On Thursday last, Capt. HAMIL•I
TON, Superintendent of the Calton Police, succeeded
in apprehending a cotton-spinner, outlawed at last
Assizes. He was charged with assault, and discharg-
ing, or attempting to discharge, loaded fire-arms, with
intent to murder. He was taken in the public-house
of a discarded spinning-master, in Mile End, where
he was drinking with a number of cotton-spinners. He
came away peaceably on a loaded pistol being presented
to his breast, and his companions were so overawed,
that they offered no resistance. He has been lodged in
phogow Chronicle.
" Thursday week, Messrs. Cussons and Wilde, of Old-
lam, cotton-spinners, gave employment to their old
workmen in the places of the knobsticks the fir.t
intimationl of this unexpected change was received with
general applause amongst the operatives, and the
knobsticks' are now seen daily decamping amid the
din of frying-pans." As we thought this a very ex-
traordinary statement, we took the trouble of inquiring
a little into it, and found, what indeed we were certain
would prove to be the case, that it was a very incorrect
one. The fact is, that Messrs. Cussons and Wilde
ihave not dismissed all their new workpeople, but only a
part of them, with whose conduct they hail .reason to
be dissatisfied; nor have they, nor do they intend
again to take into their employ the whole of their for-
mer hands. Those of them whom, after repeated soli-
citations, they have permitted to resume their situa-
tions, have done so, subject to every stipulation against,
which ten months kefore they turned out, and are now
working along with a number of those whom the
paragraph wr.ter calls knobsticks: Ac to the chuck-
ling intimation that these latter are daily seen de-
c imping amid the din of frying-pans; we are as con-
fident that it is in no way approved by Messrs. Cussons
and Wilde, as we are that it is in itself improper to
say a word which can apply an approval, or operate
as an encouragement of such disorderly and unjusti-
fiable practices.—Manchester Guardian.

Sunday forenoon, at Irvine, a party of eight young
men went out in a large yawl to take a pleasure sail. A
brisk breeze sprang up, and a hat belonging to one of
the party was blown off. When tacking to recover it, the
boat swamped, and five of the eight perished.

CORN EXCHANGE, :HARK-LANP., SEPT. 23.
There was rather more business transacted in our Market this
morning than of late, owing to the shortness of our supplies, and a
great many buyers. The Malting trade was somewhat livelier, and
Monday's prices fully maintained for fine fresh Wheat. Barley is
also more inquired after, and that our last currency fully supported.
Oats sell better than last Wednesday, but oti dearer. In other ar-
ticles no Aeration.
