The demand for weavers has increased, and higher
prices have, in several instances, been offered. More
webs are now in preparation than have been for a
consi.,erable time past, and there is every reason to hope
that the improvement will continue progressive. There
is yet no general improvement in the price of yarns,
particularly in the coarser numbers. Fine are rather
more in demand, and are commanding a little advance.
—(dasgcno Chronicle.
It is said that a Gentleman of distinguished talents,
who has bestowed more attention on the subject of
labour than perhaps any other i idividual in this coun-
try, was employed some time ago by Government (and
has now returned from his mission), to examine into the
state of the Manufacturing Population, with a view to
the possession of the facts necessary for a discussion of
the question bow far means can be found in El.igration
for affording relief to the distressed workmen.
Yesterday the examination of Mr. Gordon, the Navy
Agent, came on before the Court of Commissioners, at
Basinghall•street. It was objected by the assignees, that
the accounts had not been delivered in by Mr. Gordon
in proper time, and that the assignees had not been able
to examine them properly. The Commissioner stated,
that the accounts appeared to him to have been de-
livered later by two or three days than they ought to
have been, and therefore he adjourned the further pro-
ceeding until the 3d of April, observing, that the assig-
nees might take every assistance they possibly could in
snaking up the accounts, tut that, wh,n made up, the
Commissioners mu,t hold the assignees responsible for
the correctness of the accounts.
