Order and regular habits, we are happr to Say, may be considered as again established in Manche* ter.-'thanks to the unceasing labours, constant per severance, and considerate attention of the Magis trates ; whose zeal and prudence cannot be too highly estimated : and, mat we not add, thanks to the good sense of the labouring class themselves, whose better principles, inducing them to listen to the good coun cils of those who laboured to turn them from evil, have at length prevailed ?—But can we promise the continuance of peace in that populous district? This we think must now depend on the conduct of the Employers. The people have returned to their em ployment, in the hope that the masters will take their case speedily into consideration, and of themselves make them a proper remuneration for their labours. Is this to be measured by pitting the labourers against each other on a descending scale of wages ? —There is a minimum below which regular wages ' cannot descend. The labourer is worthy of his hire; but he is defrauded when attempts are made to pay him with less than is necessary for his sustenance. In every such ease the man must either waste out his existence, and descend into a promotive glavey or others Must support him ; but neither of these, can be endured by the community. We pretend not to ascertain what is the minimum of wages that may support the workman, but, what eves that may be, his wages should never be lets, because he cannot live on less, without either stealing or becoming a burthen to his neighbours. He should enjoy every increase of wages produced by increased demand for labour ; but when this demand ceases, ' and a reduction necessarily follows, it should never descend lower than the minimum necessary for his sustenance. All profits derived from a farther reduc tion are a robbery of the workman, and an act of injustice to the rest of the commud:ty. We learn by some of our Private Letters that great as have been the sufferin,ln of the workmen, abso-, lute want of means to subsist any longer has not been the cause of their return to employment. They have had no less a sum than four thousand five kindred pounds transmitted to them from various societies of workmen throughout the kingdom ! In consequence some of them still continue to hold out, and pa rade the streets of Manchester in small patties.-- -In fact there is at this moment a difference among them as. to the best means to be pursued to obtain what they call justice from their employers. The majority, influenced by the good counsel given. to , them by the Magistrates, and the hopes that The masters will not delay to consider their case as soon as the Factories resurae their operations, have resol ved to make the trial : while others are for persever ing with the present turn-out, till necessity—an abso lute want of labourers—compels the masters to accede to such an increase of wages as may suffice for their From present appearances; and the general feeling of the majority, it is, we think, exceedingly probable that a few days will restore perfect order. But will it continue ? We fear not, if the Masters withhold from the men such a remuneration for their labour as the wants of nature imperiously deniand.-- Good use should be made of the present mo ments, and we doubt not that those worthy indi viduals whose interference and advice to the work men have produced such a happy result, and who must be well acquainted with every past of the case, will have equal reason to congratulate them • selves on the effects which their counsel may produce cm the Employers. Should their advice fail to in duce the Masters to accede to what reason and just principles may recommend, the present returning quiet will, we fear, prove to be only a temporary cessation of a storm which, at no very distant period, may again break forth with greater fury : PRIVATE LETTERS. MANCHESTER, S " I am happy to state, that since I last wrote, the town and its vicinity have remained perfectly tran quil. Most of the principal Manufacturers, both in this and the neighbouring towns, have agreed to advance the wages of the Weavers ; and, in conse quence, by far the greater part of that useful and in• dustrious body have resumed their labours. A sub scription has been set on foot, for the relief of those whose employers refuse to increase their wages, and who are consequently still compelled to remain inactive. " This morning the Spinners belonging tO the ex tensive factory of T. Ilouldsworth, Esq. M.P. went again to their wonted labour, as did those of Messrs. Greenway, and some others, after having been idle upw‘akds of fourteen weeks ; and it is generally sup posed that by Monday next, the great body of them will have resumed their labour. No positive pro mise of any specific advance has been made to them, but they have gone in under an implied understand ing that their grievances are to be taken into early consideration by their employers, and something done to meet their wishes. Should this not be the case, there is too much reason to fear another and a more obstinate struggle, at no very distant period ; for, in the present instance, they have been compelled to succumb through their want; and, with Shakes peare's Apothecary they may individually exclaim—. ' It is my poverty, and not my will,' which forces me to yield. .. It is to be hoped that the masters generally will 1:4 guided by a mare liberal spirit tovrards those they employ, and thus p 1 eat a recurrence of Abase scenes which have outraged gad disgraced both this and other parts of the kingdonf. The Game is only smo thered, and may be rekindled wfth greater fury, if the expectations of these deserving dusts are not in some measure realized. Nothing sickens and irri tates the human mind so much as hope too long de land. lam informed, that a general turn-out of the' Weavers and Spinners throughout this and the neigh bouring counties, as well as all the manufacturing towns between this and Kendal, was arranged for Monday next; but in consequence of what has taken place here, the measure, I am happy to say, has been adjourned sine die. " Every precaution is taken here to preserve the public peace. Parties of Police officers and Military parade the town and its outskirts ; and, in addition to the 6th Carabineers, 13th Dragoons, and 95th Foot, in our barracks, large bodies of Military are stationed at all the towns in the vicinity.—Most de voutly do I hope that all this military array may prove useless I" ANOTMER LETTER-SAME DATE. gs An attempt was made .n Wednesday morning, by about thirty of the most turbulent of the Tune 'of*, to prevent Mr. Gray's Spinners from returning to their employment ; but, by a spirited resistance on the part of the Spinners themselves, the assailants were not only foiled in their attempt, but three of their most active leaders, Jose:, natant, and Brog an, were seized. They were immediately carried before a Magistrate, and there being no want of evi dence, they were, for want of bail, committed to prison, for a violent assault upon Thomas Williams and others. " Our town begins to assume an aspect of coming tranquillity, and the police officers are now able to enjoy more repose than the arduous duties they have been engaged in, night and day, for some little time past, has allowed them. If no unforeseen events take place, we may hope that the close of this week will terminate all tumult and discordant sentiments between the Spinners and their Masters. " The aspect which this plaCe now presents, con trasted with the circumstances in which we have been placed for many weeks, can hardly be described. Indeed it cannot be conceived but by those who have experienced what it is to be placed for a long period in a state of constant alarm and apprehension. No thing can exceed the sensations now produced by the change of scene. The countenance of every one you meet exhibits feelings of satisfaction, and, as it were, mutual congratulation : nor is this confined to the working people only, whose privations during the , struggle have been dreadful ; it pervades every class, for there were feir intleed who seam free from they pains produced by cruel forebodings of expected mischief; the extent of which could be anticipated by none." Johnson ' Drummond, and Balky, who were ap prehended at Manchester, and - taken to Chester, traversed the indictments against them, and then put off their trials. They were re-committed till they. should find bail, themselves in E. 500 each, and two sureties in £9OO, upon each indictment. Four more persons were indicted,viz. War. Tempk, Chas. Bow't on, John Gooch, and John Sevendak, w - ho also traversed, and whose dials are consequently put off. Bail was required, themselves in £2OO, and sureties in £lOO. Edward Wynne has been committed to Lancaster Castle for three months, for having combined, with divers others, to raise their wages, they being em ployed as cotton-spinners. Sunday, the 2Sd of last month, the ship Sophia sailed from Guernsey, for the United States of Ame rica, with 90 passengers on board, all English artisans. Friday last Thomas Potter, of Loughborough, in the County of Leicestershire, frame-smith, was fully committed by the Mayor for trial to Lancaster Castle, for being about to go to America with machinery for making bobbin or twist lace or net ; and six boxes of machinery, of different sorts and uses, were seized by the police.officers at the inn where Potter resided in that town. Nine or ten other persons from Lough bro' and the neighbourhood, some of them artificers, were about to embark ; but upon Potter's being taken into custody, they all fled. Lincoln's Inn Hall is now undergoing the tedious) process of another repair. It was last year Gothicized,' to assimilate with the adjoining Court of the Vice- Chancellor. It is now to have a roof in the perfect anti- Gothic stile, resembling that of an old English barn. The fine Gothic portico, and the other decorations of the Temple Hall are now completed, and, they are ki . ifl e 2ly creditable to the taste of SMIRK; the architect. bar reliff of the horse, the armorial distinction of the Society, is admirably executed, possessing all the vigour and spirit of the animal, as sculptured in some of the Elgin Marbles. At a Meeting of the Magistrates at Hickes Hall, yesterday, Mr. Sugary was elected Surveyor for the County of Middlesex. CLaeninwELL Semiotic—Mr. Hunt attended the Sessions House, at Clerkenwell, this day, in order to try Mr. Dowling's indictment, but the practice of the Court being, that if a Bill is found it cannot be tried at the same Sessions, be pleaded, traversed, and entered it first on the list, to be tried the first day of next Sessions, which begins the 26th day of October.

LIVERPOOL, SEPTEMBER 9. We have the melancholy task to record a most dreadful catastrophe which took place last week on our coast by shipwreck. The Sine, Captain N. DOAK, sailed from this port on Monday last, for Boston, having on board 34. passengers ; and on Thursday night, about eight o'clock, struck on the Flatters, on the Welch coast, near the Skerries Light-house, and in about an hour the vessel went down, and 13 of the passengers were drowned ; the rest of them and the crew were saved by a pilot-boat which fortunately happened to be nrar at the moment. Not a single article either belonging to the ship or passengers was saved. Amongst the passengers saved is a boy about 14 years of age, who has lost both his parents by this distressing event. We have made every endeavour to get a list of the persons lost, but the Captain does not recollect the names of any of them, and the only list which he had of them was on board the vessel. The crew and passengers saved were afterwards put on board the Mary and Sally, from Salem, and ar rived here on Friday. About ten o'clock on the night previous to this fatal occurrence, the Sine run down the brig Dash, from Bangor for London, when un fortunately three of the crew were drowned ; the others (two) were saved by the Sine, and were on board when that vessel was wrecked. Great praise, 'we are informed, is due to the people on board the pilot boat, for their active exertions in rescuing the :persons on board the Sine from their perilous situation. CORN EXCHANGE.
