LOUGHBOROUGH, SEPTEMBER 2.

The arrangements between the Hosiers and Stock-
ing-makers, respecting an advance of wages, were
happily confirmed the latter end of last week, so far
as regards the worsted bands and the Angola hands;
and once more the smile of joy beams in the coun-
tenances of these poor men. But as to the cotton
hands, the dispute remains unsettled, and the frames,
continue to stand still in our town, where witave
about fifty, and at Sheepshead, where there are nearly
four hundred. In this branch too, the men are yet
ant of work at Wiiitwick, Thringstone, Diseworth,
Long-Whatton, Kegworth, Hathern, Sutton Boning-
ton, and Wimeswonld ; at several of which places
many of the jack wires have been removed to prevent
their working at under prices.

Out of 600 weavers is the town of Lanark, there
are at present no less than 150 idle. We understand
that the Magistrates, following the example of the
Gentlemen of Pollockshaws, have been most active
in getting the unemployed set to work on the New
' Road between Glasgow and Carlisle.
A Meeting, " for the purpose of taking into consii,
deration the present distressed state of the nation, and"
the best mode of obtaining a Radical Reform in the
Commons House of Parliament," ace. is to be held ao
Armley Hill Top on Monday next, and a Requisition
is to be presented to the Mayor this day to call a
Meeting as early as possible.—Leeds Intelligencer.
Friday last being mat ket-day at Preston, some dis-
orderly people liad.nearly succeeded in throwing the
place into general confusion, but they were spiritedly
put down by the Civil Authorities, and lion of the
ring leaders taken into cust(idy.
