NOTTIN'GHAM.

We mentioned in the STAR of the 2d inst.
Frame-work Knitters of this town had strut
advance of wages. A numerous meeting
(principally in the Cotton branch) was het
Forest, to consider what measures aught to
ed for obtaining relief from their present
in consequence of the lowness of wages, icc.
following Resolutions were unanimously art

1. That it appears to this Meeting, that the great
oble depression of wages has principally arisen, not
on the part of the Hosiers to reduce the Stocking makes
misery and Wretchedness which he now endures, '
competition to undersa each other in the markat,

v.„ That the reducing the wages of the tacchante,
to be deprecated as injurious to the peace, happiness,
sperity, of the great body of the people; for as the
the people become poor and wretched, in the •

must the consumption of our manufactures be iesscced.
3. That this Meeting do consider,

that it is the duty of the Frame-work Knitters of
to eo-operate with the Trade of Leicestershire, and
ing till such time as they can obtain such a price

AS will enable them to maintain themselves
the assistance of the Parish.
4. That as an advance of wages is expected to
the 7th of August, it is hoped, that Parishes

eessary amngements, and find other employment
such as cannot obtain it.
5. That a vote of thanks be given to those
tester and Leicestershire, who have so nobly conic
support of the distressed Workmen of that Town

At a numerous Meeting of the Reform
