A paragraph has lately passed through the London
Papers, purporting that the Iron Trade, in Stafford-
shire, is in a state of prosperity, and that the work-
men are all fully employed. A correspondent whom
se can depend upon has favoured us with a list of
the following extensive Iron Works, which are actually
&lading for want of work, though situated in the
heart of the Iron Trade :—Bradley Upper Mill and
Force; The Level Mill and Forge ; Tipton Ohl Church
Works; threat Bridge Works; The Cuseley Works.
—Oar Correspondent also assuses as, that many other
Works •ire only kept going at a very serious loss, and
so far from the workmen being fully employed, their
employers, in a variety of instances, are at this mo-
ment taking advantage of the number of unemployed
workmen in the neighbourhood, to compel their men
to submit to further reductions of wages.—(Blensiag-
