The precision with which they Farrowed their various evolutions was highly gratifying. The mor e in which they formed from line into column, and front et g a ilut into line, as well as marching past in open order before tack av e r, would not have disgraced a veteran bar:llion. 'the metes h a d a fine, clear, martial appearance, and the soldierly character which they altogether exhibited excited the admira .,,„„ o f t h e bebolders.

Neat, it is said, wilt be nearly two stone heavier than the Gas Light Man. It will be recollected that both Neat and Hickman have defeated Oliver ; but with this vast difference, Neat won it with great difficulty, after a long fight; while, on the contrary, the Gas defeated Oliver in twelve minutes; without giving tha Litter boxer a shadow of a chance. Neat has only appeared once in the Prize Ring. He La a great favourite at Bristol, and is one of the finest made men in the kingdom. Neat is said to be much improved as to pugiliqic science, and it is a battle that will excite a great deal of interest throughout the Fancy. HARRIS AND PAGE, TOL TWENTY GUINEAS A sync, AT THE OLD irsitrwAv-Kotisz !ROM GRAVESEND, THIRTEEN MILES FROM LONDON. Yesterday the East end part of the Fancy, determined as it were to have a mill of their own, and so snugly was it conducted, that the Lads and Swills in the West were so much at fault re specting the right scent, that numerous amateurs arrived too late to witness a single round.. The ring was formed contiguous to the Chequers Inn, and within twenty yards of Old Father Thames. It was a most picturesque situation for delightful see nery ; and, heightened by numerous vessels passing and repassing 'in full sail, it had an interesting effect. The yards of those yes eels that were near the shore were crowded with sailors, anxious to get a peep at the fighting heroes, and join in the animated shouts which were heard from the amateurs round the ring.— Harris is well known to the Prize-ring; he is about 10st. 51b. a good man, and can also fight well. Page is a knig/st of the oar, and fancied, as did his friends, that he could fight a little. Harris was attended by Josh. Iludson and Bishop Sharp; and Page was seconded by the two Burkes, of Woolwich. In detailing the rounds the amateurs would feel no particular interest ; suffice it. to observe, that It occupied 45 minutes, and 27 rounds were fought. Harris, on setting-to, took the lead in such prime style, that after the first round, it was 2 and 3 to 1 in his favour; and he won it without a scratch upon his face, except a slight touch upon his motrh ; while, on the contrary, Page was so terribly punished, that he was led out of the ring in a most exhausted state, and Immediately put to bed. A second fight was knocked up, from the liberality of several Officers belonging to Woolwich making a subscription purse; Robinson, a navigator, and a big one, and who had been de feated by. David Hudson, at Chat ha u., was nevertheless so much attached to miffing, that he threw up his topper for another sky, which was immediat-ly answered by young Burke, brother to the hero who was defeated by RandalL Robinson was taken in law by Josh Hudson and Sharp ; Burke was waited upon by Ned Turner and his brother, and Randall was the umpire and time-keeper—half-minute time. This turned out an excellent fight, and equal, if not superior, to many of the Moulsey Hurst and Crawley Down battles. In the first round, salts ceremonie, Burke went in and gave Robinson such a nosegay, that he went down like x shot, and continued for several rounds after to have the best of it, although much severe milling took place between them. Robinson, at length, got his left hand into play. and the nob of Burke re- ceived lots of pepper. The 18th round was as fine and as manly a one as was ever witnessed. Robinson with his left band put in three successive facers, bluing Burke quite away front him; but the latter would not be denied, and returned to the charge like • trumps the exchange of blows was ter rific, till Robinson went down quite exhausted, and his face covered with claret ; £l5 to £5 went a begging, indeed no one would take it. " He will not come again," was the cry. Robin son, however, under the encouraging auspices of Josh Hudson, who told him " nothing was the matter," and " that the mischief done was upon the other side," came up to the scratch, and renewed the fight with great courage; Robinson planted some severe left-handed bits, and was so pleased with his success, that he pointed and laughed at his opponent with much derision.— \ Sixteen more - rounds were contested in the most manly way, with some little changes in favour of Robinson, but never any thing like to give him a chance of victory. Robinson contended every inch of ground while a shadow of chance remained, and reluctantly admitted it was all up with hint. Burke, however, did not win the battle without being well convinced that he had been fighting; he was most terribly punished about the nob. Young Burke appears a better made man for fighting than his brother, and also seems a more scientific boxer. The amateurs left the ring well satisfied with the sport. The ring was better kept than usuaL Burke won it in thirty-four rounds, occupying twenty-seven minutes. PEDESTRIANISM. Wednesday last, IL Skipper, the Norfolk pedestrian, com menced his task of walking 1000 miles in twenty successive days. He completed 100 miles on Thursday evening, in the Prussia Gardens, Norwich. Thursday, the ith instant, George Bower, a young man, of Kirkbymuorside, undertook, for a trifling wager, to walk thirty miles in sis hours, going fifteen miles on the York road, by Helmsley, Oswaldkirk, &c. out and home. He performed the task with apparent ease, in five hours And forty-five minutes. NORTHALLERTON MEETING. THURSDAY, OCTOSES 11. Sweepstakes of 20p. each, for two-year-old colts, Bst.

FREstow OcToni* 12, 1821. SlR—The Courier of the 9th instant has an article. in which it is stated, that " the most experienced ob- , servers of our domestic Manufactures and Trade de clare, that they never knew them in a more flourish ing condition than at 'present," which so palpably betrays in these experienced observers such partial knowledge of the subject, or wiiiirt perversion of (..ct, that we regret more than a little here that a circula tion should at this time be given to statements so — fraught with evil. They are quite opposed to what this (confessedly the first manufacturing county in the kingdom), now universally experiences; and as it is of course included in the above statement, the writer of this letter takes upon him to say, from real experience and general observation, that the Cotton Manufactures were never known in a more drooping and depressed state. If the Courier could appeal to any one really ac quainted with the subject, he would be informed that demand for goods is almost extinct, and that they are consequently a drug both in the Manchester and Lon don markets. I am also supported in these asvrtions by the facts, that in some of our towns, weavers' wages have been dropped. within the last fortnight, five, eight, and ten per cent.! many manufacturers are materially decreasing their quantity ; and some of the most respectable are entirely discontinuing; with drawing their capital from a trade in which it cannot at present be employed to any advantage! This is at present the real state of our manufactures in general ; there is no prospect of amendment ; wages must, it is generally supposed, give way still further ; indeed the " tout ensemble" of the prospect could not well be worse to begin winter with. So much, there fore, for the flourishing condition and experienced ob servers above noticed. You will impose an obligation upon this County by giving insertion to this letter, as well as upon your obedient humble servant, and reader of your impartial Paper, A MANUFACTURER AND MERCHANT. Advices have been received from St. Petersburgh to the 21st ult. The exchange had improved only a trifle since the last quotation; but when the intelli gence of an improvement in our tallow market reached St. Petersbnrgh, no doubt is entertained by merchants here, That a corresponding improvement must necessarily take place ia the exchange. These particulars, as well as the news of a considerable stir in the corn trade, would reach them by the next suc ceeding post, so that, in all probability, the next ad vices from that capital will be of a more favourable nature than those received of late.—From Riga ac counts mention an advance in the rate of exchange, and that tallow had advanced front 137, 1 2 to 145. The consumption of rum in Scotland, in 1815, was 331,000 gallons: with the exception of a few thou sand gallons, this quantity as taken out of bond in the Clyde.

The average price of Wheat has fallen from 70s. 7d. to his. 7d. for the week ending on the 6th inst. and by the subsequent accounts from Mark-lane it appears, th:lt owing to the continuance of an abundant supply down to yes terday morning, the minds of the corn-dealers had undergone such a change from their former eagerness to purchase as to produce a still farther reduction in old wheat of 2s. per quarter—in new whe.tt of 3s. to 4s.—in old barley of 2s.—and in new of 4c. to 55.. Under these circumstances, it seems quite improbable that the ports will be opened to any species of corn on the 15th November, the next taking of the averages.

A Miss HAMMERSLEY, from Dublin, also made her first ap pearance, and was very favourably received: she has great compass of voice, and promises to become an acquisition.
