MANUFACTUR iv'G DISTRICT S: The following is an Extract from a Letter, oe-' ceived from Preston, by a respectablis Mercantile !louse In Manchester: " In my last I apprised you of the flatness of the muslin trade, (which forms so considerable a portion of the business carried on here) and the fears that were entertained that the manufacturers would be compelled to reduce th'2 wages of their workmen,— I since learn that there is too much reason to fear that this disagreeable measure must take place.— Every one pities the situation of the poor workmen, anions whem.this intelligence has spriai the most eniversal gloom and melancholy, Their wages were already confessedly too low, and they were only kept from again turning out in a body, by the confident hopes they , entertained of a speedy and considerable advance. The blood chills in my veins when I reflect on the miseries these poor creatures have for many years endured, and with a patience that has procu red them universal commiseration. 'Thousands of them are actually worse fed than the swine and cattle of the country :—.Water-porridge (made of oatmeal and water), with no other addition than a little salt, forms, in many cases, their only food. I had myself occasion to visit the cottage of an industrious weaver 1 1 near this town, last week ; the family consisted of the husband, his wife, and five children. It was the hour of dinner, and I found them all eagerly partak ing of this slender food : they assured me that they were unable to procure either bacon or butchers'- meat, and that water-porridge was their constaut fare, morning, noon, and tight. c Alas, Sir,' said the poor man, there was a tune (pointing to an empty rack at the top of the house) when we could have cut our own bacon, and have contemplated with pleasure a live stock in the yard, growing up to sup ply the place of what we were consuming. Now, we can neither procure meat nor cheese, What you see us now partaking of, with a little tea on Sundays, forms our only food ;—yet, I bless GOD, my children all continue healthy, and will, I trust, live to see better days:—Surely this is not the way in which a man ought to live, who is constantly toiling at his business, and whose exertions contribute so largely to uphold the prosperity of his country. If it be pos sible to ameliorate the condition of this patient and long-suffering body of men, no time shouts! be lost in endeavouring to bring about so desirable a mei, sure ; but as matters now are, I candidly confess I see no hopefor thens I " We are kept in a constant state of alarm, in the expectation of another, and a more general turn-out among the weavers, Rumour again states that the present week has boon fixed on by tbism, to make annther effort to carry their point With their em ployers. Be this as it may, I knew that every pris cautionary measure has been taken, by those whom Ire consider as the conservators of the public peace, to maintain and secure tranquillity ; and from the number of troops we have here, and in the neigh bourhood, there would be no want of military aid, should circumstances, unfortunately, render it ne sessary." Extract from a Private Lotter from Manchester , dated 12th October : It will be recollected, that when the weavers of this and the neighbouring towns turned-via for an advance of wages, about two months ago, some Of the masters agreed to raise their wages 4s. in the ' pound ; and hopes were then held out to them, that ❑n addition of 3s. in the pound more would be given them as soon as possible. I now learn, with regret, that the': masters have this day informed them that they most be under the necessity of immediately re ducing their wages ! Whether they are to have the whole of the late advance taken off, or only a part, have not yet been able to learn ; but will inform you of all particulars in my next.—Whatever neces sity may have -arisen for this measure, it is to be deeply deplored; the wretched low wages these poor men receive, demand immediate angmentation, in stead of any reduction. The consequence will be an alarming increase of poor levies throughout the whole of this populous district." A dating attack was made last night, at the early hour of ten o'clock, by a gang of thieves, upon the Rev. Mr. VICKERY, Curate of St. Paul, Covent-gar den, as he was passing that end of St. Martin's-court next to Leicester-square. After giving him a violent push, one of the villains snatched his gold watch, with gold chain and two valuable gold seas, put of his pocket, and ran off with it ; but, upon the cry of " Stop thief Y' being made, he was pursued into Bear street, and, with another of the gang, secured, and taken to the Watch-house. The fellow threw away the watch as soon as he was taken, and it was picked up by a person passing at the time. Sunday se'nnight, a young couple attended at the Parish Church of Leeds, for the purpose of being married. The ceremony had already commenced, when rise intended bridegroom, after apparently de-, liberating fora moment or two, exclaimed, " I think I'll not - ha'e thee, a'ter all !" and immediately left the Church. The situation of the fair one, thus de serted, may be readily conceived. Friday, the Rev. CittEs POWELL, of Acrice, was convicted before WiLtrAm Daeries, 1 2 .41. in the pe-' malty of £2O, for snaring a hare am a Sunday !

BOXING: Randall and Turner are at length matched for 200 gainels mide, to fight before Christmas, a deposit of £4O having been put down at Franklin's last night, to that effect. To be a fair stand-up fight, and not to take place within 3t) miles of the \ le tropolis—half minute time. The qualities of both the comba tants stand very high in the sporting world. The Lads of tip lartiy speak of the enriing combat as likely to prove one of the most intercuint battles that has occurred the last 2.0 years: Ran dall is the favourite. Tuesday se'unight a severe battle was feeght in a large roped in ring, in the George 3.leadc• • ' at Battle, between aeillie %inmate and an Irishman, named Thlkerty. a mister, and com monly eked the Lama Bully, for two guineas. Thescombatants, with their seconds and bottle-holders, entered the ring at eig'.t in the morning, both confident of victory, and after strippir. l l; set.to, iihewing some clumsy sparring, in imitation of their bet ters, but no science. Dogherty was the heaviest num, but Joe possessed the longest inn, which gave him the advantage when his antagonist bit d'art, which he frequently did, bath's no no tion of measuring distance, and thereby got 'mirth" punished about the bead and fane. No pluck was denting on either side, the battle having lasted an hour and 55 mintttes, and product , ' 72 rounds, sustained with as much gluttony as might have been expected from the hardiest veterans of thefitn-y, when the Iridunan gave in, and yielded the victory to Joe, which was rt one time despaired of, in consequence °Phis having badly sprained his wrist. Two pugilistic contests finished the sports on Monday on Durdham Down ; one between Conley and Old Caltle,com manly called The Sandman, who fought Dick Horton; his ft.!- , vourite play was at his antagonist's fitted-basket, which. he pit into afiTmeat, and finally iutelsed him up.
