WAVERS Ben nett.. Esq. (M.P. for Cite County), was in the Chair. The dinner was served up in a style of great ex cellence, and the flavour of the wines which followed vied with the excellence of the viands. The doors were thrown open at six o'clock precisely.

The follo‘‘ ing Song, written by PaiNcE HOARE, was sun ,- by Mr. MICHAEL KELLY: Here's a song for good older—'tis that which we find Gives the value to life, both in body and mind ; And if higher we look, up to Nature's GREAT CAESIE, We shzi: find in good order the first of Ills laws! Every man to his place—then we help one another, The father his son, and the brother his brother; Our wants and our hal-pines. mutually known, Rtet shtws them and each calls them his own! ,Like wave urging wave, thus the circle extends, From irlf to relations, from these on to friends; Till, wart:l'd by communion, by friendship inspired, With the love of our country our bosoms are fired! But let me not wander from where I begun. 'Ti' good order that portions out good to each one; Whit. it moves with the suasons, and beams in the skies, It binds all mankind in society's ties! Wirm the wild storms of discord raged over the main, With the Star of Great Britain rose order again; Unshaken her realm, and undaunted alone, With a People still true, and a GEORGZ on her throne! 0, long the soft blessings from order that flow, Be thy will, gracious Huvvi! on our hearts to bestow: In this favour'd abode long may peace deck her bower, And Brighton long bloom in the sunshine of power! Then here let the friends of good order unite, While we sing round our bowl, and give welcome to night; Yet rememb'ring to-morrow will bring back the sun, In the vet y same order that first he begun! 'Twixt rich ones and poor ones, 'twist great ones and scull, Let one order prevail, and one law be for all; To the wisdom that guides us still wisely to bow, And give thanks to our Founder, u here I do now ! The Senior Wrangler, of a certain year, piping hot from the Senate House at Cambridge. went to the play at Drury-Lane ; it so happened, that a certain great personage entered at the same moment, on the other side of the house, but unobserved by the mathe matician. The whole house testified their respect, by a general rising and clapping of hands. Our asto nished academic instantly exclaimed, to the no small amusement of his London friends, " Well, well, this is more than I expected ; how is it possible that these good people should so soon have discovered that I am the Senior Wrangler?" The very great satisfaction the plan alopted in former Lotteries gave to persons residing in the Coun try, has induced T.

The, undermentioned Tickets are reserved for such per- , sons as may order them ; and, as many of the num bers, formerly advertised, were approved by various individuals in London, it has been thought advisable, for the convenience of the Public, to have part at the East and part at the West end of the Town.

James Bigmore, the Suffolk pedestrian, started at half-past nine o'clock last Tuesday morning, at Vauxhall Gardens, Skir beck, near Boston, to run 50 miles in eight hours. He per f Irmed the first 4; miles in 30 minutes, and 16 within two mi nutes of half-past eleven ; and at nine minutes past one had run 25 miles. He accomplished his task at six minutes past five o'clock, including 40 minutes for refreshment ; taking 2600 turns. By running by the side of the Mall-coach, from London to Norwich, which is no less than 112 miles, in the short space of 14 hours, the Suffolk Man, thougillnot so big as many former boasted pedestrians, has proved himself able to perform wore; and has even out-Powelled Powell. It is said, that this noted man proposes to attempt a much greater undertaking on the same ground at Vauxhall, before he takes leave of Boston. BOXING. Two hard matches were fought in Brown's enclosure, on thel Harrow Road, on Wednesday, between a young farmer, of the name of Caudehorpe, and Evans, a prime Welshman. It was for £2O a-side, and brought about by an amour on the part of Evans to aulthorpe's intended rib, and the affair took place on Evans 's return from the baill-hank on the preceding day. Forty manly rounds were fought, and both were hit blind early in the fight. The lancet was applied to Evans in the fifteenth, and to his adversary in the eighteenth round. 20. Evans made the play by a chattering facer, which took a front tooth out, but a return on the donor's jaw dropped it a couple of inches from its place, and both went down In a struggle with equal manhood. This ['rodent fighting was continued on both sides until the 30th round, when (from loss of blood and severe round hitting) neither could a; pear in time. Mutual accommodation was agreed on, and after s short lapse they turned to again, and were hit alike to a stand still. In the 40th round it was proclaimed a drawn battle. Courage, with but little Science, was the order of battle. The second battle was a merry one, between Joe Mesh the butcher, and the little navigator, Wilmot. It lasted five rounds of nothing but hitting, and with the same- advantAge, until Wil mot lost by a doubler up. rHESOTTON TRAM to THE EDITOR OF THE STAB. . • - havaalwang.distinguished your remarks on men u- SIR--.The just and enlightened . principles wh ich factures and commerce, and particularly the able and convincing manner in which you laid down the true principles for regulating the cotton trade, respecting the exportation of yarns, when the question was agi tated in Parliament about four years ago, induces me to call your attention atain to this most important subject. You will recollect that the cotton spinners petitioned Parllament to be heard by Counsel against any testriction being imposed on the exportation of yarns, and that the prayer of the petition was granted, but an adjournment of Parliament taking place s oon after, nothing further was done on the subject from that time up to the present, which was probably oc casioned in part by a partial improvement in the manufacturing of piece goods,which took place soon after the question was before Parliament ; a circum stance to be regretted, perhaps, rather than otherwise, for at that time Government seemed to be partly awakened to a sense of the importance of the subject, and the distress and stagnation that existed in the manufacturing districts at that time was so pressing that our Statesmen must have been strangely infatu ated if they had not removed . or mitigated, as they easily could have done, at least one of the principal evils that evidently occasioned it. It is, unfortu nately, ton often the case with Governments, as well as individual., in a time of temporary abatement of any existing evil, to relax their exertions in endea vouring to remove the cause of it, although it is the best time fot applying a wise and effectual remedy. I need scarcely here remark that the manufactui in" • of cotton is one of the most important and widely extended branches of trade carried on in this coun try, and consequently merits the particular regard of the Legislature; but a very short review of its pre sent state will be a convincing proof tl:at it has been grossly neglected by those whose duty it is to watch over and protect the sources of national strength and prosperity. So long as the late war continued we had almost the exclusive possession of this great branch of trade in Europe, which was secured to us in a great degree by our naval stiperiority, and being possessed of many of the Colanies where the raw mates ial is produced ; but, on the restoration of a general peace, the state of things was compltlely changed, and the Statesman who was not aware of it must have been very ui:fit to manage the affairs of a nation. It was evident that those countries which had been the seat of war, and whose manufactures and commerce were neatly ruined by its effects, would immediately apply them selves to restore both ; besides, the prodigious te sources of this country Liming the war had perfectly astonished them, and they were well aware that our manufacturing and commercial interest was the main pillar of our strength, which made them still more anxious to imitate and rival us. The immense quan tities of cotton goods poured into the Continental mat kets checked the increase of their own manufac tures for some time, but they soon used means to counteract this disadvantage, by imposing heavy duties on manufactured and printed goods imported, but permitted the raw material and yarns to be im ported, either entirely free of duty or nearly so; and this line of policy they have steadily pursued, which has operated as a heavy tax on the merchant, the manufacturer, and the labourer here, who, in order to preserve a footing in the market,were forced to sell their goods at an extremely low price ; and, though the wages of the weaver have generally been very low, and the profit, and frequently even the capital, of the merchant and manufacturer have been sacrificed, it has been preserved with the greatest difficulty. The only class of persons in the country who benefit by this state of things is the master spin ners, who flourish at the expense of the rest of the community ; for, by exporting their yarn to the Con tinent, they ruin the demand for manufactured and printed goods from here, and the great demand that there is for the spinners' commodity abroad, en hances the price of it at home, and thereby in creases 'the difficulties of those who have to con tend against such an unnatural order of things.— It has moreover been regularly observed, for a number of years back, that when from any cause the exportation of yarns has diminished, the general trade has improved, but has been again depressed when this traffic has increased, which is the natural effect of a ;lain and evident cause. That the ultimate con sequence of a flee unrestricted exportation of yarns will be the complete ruin of the trade in manufactu red goods to the Continent of Europe there seems not the slightest reason to doubt, as it is scarcely possi ble that more effectual means could be devised for hastening such a consummation; and the continued and almost unaccountable apathy of our Government on a subject of so much importance, gives too much reason to fear that no remedy will be applied before it is too late. As to the spinners themselves, although they can not but be sensible of the ruinous consequences to the Public at large of this most impolitic traffic, and that it will in the end be fatal even to their own trade, yet men in general too often attend only to their own tem porary private interest, although it militates against the public welfare, and the conduct of the spinners hitherto gives no reason to suppose that they are of a more patriotic class. If no other circumstance but the em ployment of such great numbers of our population, a great proportion of whom are children of a tender age, in the most confined and unhealthy part of the trade, fur the benefit of foreigners, could be shewn, the Statesman and the Philanthropist would have ample cause for interference. The most obvious and effectual means for checking this baneful commerce would be the imposition of a duty on all yarns ex ported, and if only one penny per pound was imposed it would raise a considerable sum, as nearly 6,000,000 pounds was exposed from the port of Hull alone, in six months time last year, which will give some idea of the extent to which this commerce is carried. It is a singular circumstance, that neither the policy nor the difficulties of Government has induced them to im pose a tax of this kind, especially when taxation has reached to such a pitch that all classes are complaining of its pressure; but this would be a tax different to most others, as it would be a great national benefit which would soon make itself app arent . It fdtheby real soe, stateth efat the e e abov e cotton trader exaggerated er p er hapsat e d pic picture es said , trade, and that if the difficulties under which it la • tours were actually lo serious, the t u anti r actm i n ,, of piece- goods and printing would . not be carri e d A tc its present extent. I answer, that though the mann. facturing trade is carried on to a vast extent, an , though there is a tolerable demand for exportation, it is from cadets independent of the Continental . mar ket—the emancipation of the vast region s of S not ' America, and the wide field that there opens for de. 'nand and speculation, together with other chanr..; that have opened in ether parts of the world, i fr„ ciently exi lains the cause ; and, indeed, if our State men would only attend to our commercial offai: with ordinary wisdom, the immense capital and e n , terprizing spirit of our merchants, and the ingenuitl I and industry of our workmen would always give as a'superiority over most other countries.--1 am, Intu , A MA NI; FACTI; REP..
