itlet.l--Yestert7 several of die limner boat proprietors
;ethers intern is the trade, appeared before the Loeb 11w. •
to answer the evnplaint d Mr. Mitcham', the Ul.d• r I`.-;••
Bailiff, and several other Officers of frillingspte-n arkLt, ,
charged diem with disobedience to the Lunn km.% ore
which directed that an existing cause of gnat pub;ir nui'lb •
should be removed. •

_ Mr. Mitcham said, that his Lordship's order to prevent
shoeing et oysters at several parts of the market had been sty
up, but the psoprietom totally oegtooted it, and continued to !: •
their oysters at other pLices besides the held of the dock.
which place the hurdle* was directed to be oonfir.ed. Tvo
cars of Polite bad been stationed in the market to see that ;
order weapon bito etecatiatt, but the owners infrined it, ant: (:.-
terminal too:knit the ease so the Loan Msvoa, convinced
his Lordship would decide in their favour. The inktry was two-
fold—the ineonvecienee arising from the. crowded state Of ti,_
market, and the difficulty of procuring good oysters at a re:won--
able price; individuals who went to purchase, not having it is
heir power to go from boat to boat, in consequence of the veil,
great irregularity of the system for a length of time followed by
the proprietors.
The Loan MAYOR said, the (Sty Lands Committee bad re.
solved upon prescribing a more limired jurisdiction to the oyster
proprietors as to the landing, and he was convinced the defend.
ants must find their advantage eventua.ly in the arrangement.
The proprietors all declared, that the sitsrstion alluded to
was not sought for by_the Public. They thouglat it an et _7-toe
severity that, after having laboured for many yeA: .--t he trade,
all at once such a check should be given so their pr..l2M. to
fact, if his Lordship persisted, the business could not be dent,
and the Public would suffer a very serious inconverieece ; be-
tides that, the proprietors would sustain Irreparable Linty from
the stoppage of the trade, the boats at a distance not being-4k
to come at a prosper time for sale, and the commodity g
very perishable. One of them declared, that be paid ,flat;,
week for the mere m. cage; another. that he had laid out in tLr
two seasons, in oysters, £35,000; and soother, tha, .A .c.• i.e
commenced trade he hsd laid out 1150,000. They beg, a

he allowed to them from the side of the market to isoate,
by which tire disadvantages they had laboured under lan son:e
Sam would be removed, and the Public benefited.

The Loan Alarms said, he was determined that -the %miler'.
meat should be tried. The proprietors should have all nessib!c
facilities of landing. The proprietors withdrew, declari7l
the greatest confusion would t,.ke place, and expressing th,t•
dissatisfaction strongly, but respectfelly.
'Wawa/otos, ass RA MCA L,—Tll lS important little creattire
again applied to the Loan Maros for his board. Mr. Won:re...-
said, the board was in pouted, in the Green-yard. The 1.0. n
Marge represented to the little man what he had said
and desired him to rest seisfted. Waddington said, " Then i
shall indict the Officers," and marched out of the room.
Measamtocum-Sraxitr.—A publican from Wiltshiri• came to
prefer a charge of robbery against a Corporal in a marching Re-
siment, under singular circumstances. The Corp,wal was quar.
tered at his house, and he obtained a furlourh m. the I st hlstar!
to come to London. His landlady having bus....,ss a tfw
or. the soldier's road, they left together in the husband's
which was returned without his frail rib. The wife taktz
with her more than £2O; they were living together, ar:c sLe
I refused to return home.aguin. There was no pretence 'Or
against the soldier, and the husbarsd was informed that h 6 uhly
remedy was by action. •

To the agreeable accounts we have lately pub-
lished respecting Manufacti.....,.we are happy to adt,
that the Fall trade in the West of Scotland is prowls-
ing. More business than usual done there I:ast
week. Intelligence has been received vithin
ten days that fine mvills and lawns and some very
fine light jaccnots have sold readily in the Calcutta
market, and brought from 40 to 45 per cent. gross
profit. In Manchester the stocks in the Lands i 4 the
manufacturers are very low—a proof that goods have
been selling, though there hits been little bustle about
it. The workmen in .Clydesdale are likely to be . ell
supplied with labour at the new road bet Ween La-
nark and Stirling. For this undertaking Govern.
ment have, with a most praiseworthy liberality,
panted £50,000, chiefly for the purpose of employ-
ing the workmen belonging to the County, all others
being excluded. Indeed; if- this condition had net
been annexed, the road, like the Caledonian Canal,
would in great measure have fallen into the hands of
the Irish, who, having but 4d. a day at home, very
naturally Bock to our public works where the wages
are comparatively emit. This road will tress the
Mmise by a bridge 120 feet high near the centre of
Cartland Craig:,
