GLASGOW WEAVZRS.

A small Committee of the leading weavers visited
the manufacturers last .week, Some manufacturers
stated that they had no intention of either taking on or
dismissing weavers. Others would employ none till
their stocks were disposed of. In one or two cases, the
Committee were need ed that a number of weavers
would be taken on soon, and when the table was men•
tioned, the manufacturers replied that they would pry
the weaving by a table of their own, and they wished
no man to take their work who could be other wise em•
ploytd to greater advantage. The weekly income of
the combination is gradually falling off; but theL•aders
appear detersained to try every expedient to keep up
the delusion by which they individually profit. As
they can neither stir themselves, nor possibly influence
others without money, some of the zealous hands at-
tempted, in a country. district, to replenish their ex-
hausted exchequer by a local funding system. They
got a number of bills of ss. each drawl; upv.payahle to
the secretary of the town in six or nine months hence.
As many of the subscribers of the bills were behind
' evert with their weekly payments, the most • credulous
had no hope from this expedient. They flat applied
to a public-spirited Baronet f 4 a loan of SOW. who de-
dined returmog a final answer till he had consulted his
factor. Unhappily for the poor weavers the work con-
tinues very sc:lrce, and nothing can render the utter
fatality of the combination more obvious than the bate
fact, that while it injures them in brisk times, it is of no
I service whatever in a dulness.

hopes are, entertained that they will recover. :though
no fresh acts of violence have been attempted, the
Union system still continues in all its vigour.. The
avenues to the river are beset by parties of the disaf-

Meetings of the seamen are still held on the Town

sorry to hear th't all hopes of conciliation seem as dis-
