GLASGOW, Ocir. 20.—Since the depression of 'the
Canton crape shawls. which we noticed a tea months
back, the trade of Paisley' has been in eery languid
state; and in the light silk line particularly; the Weavers
have had a good deal of idleness' lately. Some
slight indications- of surevival in the Canton crapes are
manifested by some houses; but as Yet there is no indi
cation of a revival that will be felt generally for some
time. In the trimming and heavy-shawl depaitment
there has been little. variation for some time past; the
prices paid for weaving are about as low as Alley Were
during the most depressed state of trade. The carpet
trade, which is carried on to a very' great extent if.
Bannockburn and Stirling, is at present unusually brisk,
and with the manufacture of tartans, gives employment
to upwards ofd thousand weavers.
Tuesday se'emight, a dreadful accident took place
in the engine-house of Mr. Ewing's Cotton mill, Mile-
end, Glasgow. A man, named -Alex. ToWns, a black-
smith, who is employed in thkwork, went into the en-
gine-house alone for some purpose, when it it supposed
he came in contact with the crank, and was driven over
below the spokes of the fly wheel, with which* was
turned round. and beet illy torn in pieces. -

stated yesterday, had gone out on Monday evening,
leaving the three children in bed; shut into a room' on
the 6rst floor, a burning candle placed in a dish -upon
the table, and an apprentice boy in the lower part r,f the
house. About ten o'clock the upper apartment was
discovered to be ou fire, and the flames spread with
exceeding rapidity. A person named Vellely'lnade-

dren out at the risk of his own life, but the girl perished
in she flames. The body of the female, reduced so a
cinder, was presented to the view of the Jury, but the
limbs bad been completely separated from it. The
Jury remarked in strong terms upon the indiscretion of
leAsjug children shut into an apartment with fire. The
intrepid conduct of Vella', who risked his own life in
his endeavours to save the children, and was himself
severely burned, received the highest praise. A sub.
script ion of 374 was raised for him in the room, and a
paper recommending him to the consideration of the
Humane Society, signed by the Coronet andJary.
