NAOS( ?HZ GLASGOW TJUU, tan. 10,
The transactions of the past week, we bare ascer
tained fully support the anticipations of cur last report,
a steady demand for various kinds of cotton goods con-
tinues to operate most favourably, both on the market
and the spit it of the manufacturers. Many houses have
considerably increased the number of their workers,
and in so far as regards fine goods, the rat.s of wea-
vers wages have been somewhat advanced; Everything
betokens that the turn which business has taken for the
better is of a thoroughly healthful nature, and not at all
founded on speculation. We are informed that if the
demand which has been experienced for these few
weeks continues, the trade of Glasgow will be maw—,
`prosperous than ever.

THE REFUGE FOR THE HOUSELESS.

During the last week, the receiving houses opened
for the Refuge of the Houseless Poor were crowded
with objects, many of them of a class whom the public
could little suspect to be liable to such extreme neces-
sity as to compel them to ask in charity a bed of straw,
eaditread and water, to save them from perishing. Ia
she course of the week it became necessary, from the
crowded state of the Receiving Hossein Grdb-street,
to give some of the applicants money to provide them
with beds; and, amongst others, to some Irish families.
The diner of giving such' extraordinary relief, as to
bald out a temptation to •applicants, was afterwards
manifested. The news that money was to be hid sooa
'reached St. Giles's, and, on the two following nights,
the Refuge was almost overwhelmed by colonies from
then
ce demanding relief, which it became necessary tel
refuse. In the coarse of the week two agricultural'
labourers died'of diseases, probably induced by poverty,
and brought to a fatal crisis by hunger. Dr. Conquest
.has been highly assiduous in his attentions to the sick,
and the greatest care has been uniformly taken, by
inforciag cleanliness in the objects relieved, to preserve.
health. Many instances have occurred where Gentlemen
in attendance have had opportunities of interfering to
save individuals from misery and ruin. A few nights
-since the attention of a Member of the Committee was
attracted by a young girl of about 16 years of age, who
appeared weeping among many female applicants,whose
long wretchedness had rendered them callous. On in-
vestigating her case, it appeared, from her own state-
ment, that she had that morning left her home in a at.
of despair. The next day an inquiry was instituted into
the truth of her statement, when it was ascertained that
she was the daughter of a person who holds a situation
in the service of a public company. The mother did
not appear highly qualified to preside over a family, and
to maintain a moral discipline. In the course of the
morning she had fallen into a violent passion with her
daughter, and had thrown a bowl at her head. The
daughter declared she would no longer submit to this
treatment, and would go elsewhere to seek a livelihood,
whatever might become of her. The mother, after her
passion had cooled, confirmed the daughter's resolution,
and, as she saw her leave the house, bade her good-
bye, and said she hoped she would do well. The
Imiserable girl wandered about the streets until night-
fall, when, the weather, being extremely severe, she was
driveci to apply for admission at the Refuge. Her per-
son was highly attractive.

Just before ten o'clock on Saturday evening, the fol-
lowing melancholy occurrence took place at the Smith-
field Coffee•buuse, in Smithfield Bars. Mr. Piekman,
the proprietor, having been frotp home for the previous
'two or three hours, enjoying the company of a friend,
entered into some dispute with an old acquaintance.
sitting in the coffee-room, in the course of which, a
trifling point was debated with much warmth on both
sides, each insisting on their correctness. Mr. Pickman
at length became‘much irritated, and taking a carving
knife irons a side-board, declared he would as soon stab
himself as be argued out of his senses, and at the same
instant plunged the knife into his side, and fell to the
ground. Several of his horror-stricken family were
witnesses of this dreadful catastrophe, and he was re-
moved to his chamber ticketing in his blood, and sur-
gical assistance procured, but without avail, he dying
sitbin an hour after the rash, occurrence took place.
The knife had penetrated nearly three inches, and in-
flicted a severe wound in the liver.

Yesterday an Inquest was held at St. Thomas Hos-
pit•l, on the body of Thomas Stevens, who, during a
pugilistic encounter with • m•nr.amed Rice, atipublic-
house at Woolwich, tat with his back. against the
edge ot a table, and fractutod the cervical vertebsw of
Ithe 'neck, which occasioned death. Rice Ins bsen
`committed for Manslaughter.
