Our Aeaders will rejo ce to hear that nothing has
occurred since our last accounts, to damp the hopes
then entertained of the re-establishment of perfect I

tranquillity. Our letters of this morning simply
state that there has been no interruption to the ge-
neril quiet announced in former letters, nor any ap-
pearance of even a disposition to renew the troubles
and alarm with which the place had been so long
afflicted :

" MANCHESTER, SEPTEMPF.R 12.

" I am happy to inform you that all continues
quiet here, and every thing tends to confirm what I
stated in my last, that by Monday morning by far the
greater pan of the workmen will be at their regular
employment. This afternoon, those who have still
stood out held a meeting here, attended by Deputies
from Brackley, Stockport, tces when a general dispo-
sitioa was manifested to return quietly to their work ;
and the chief fears ezpiessed among them were, that
the Masters would not receive them. After this,
some of them waited on the Masters, in a respectful
manner, intreating that their late proceedings might
be buried in oblivion ; that they might be permitted
'to resume their usual labours ; and that the Masters
would take the state of their wages into early caui•
d•ration. An) thing like a regular treaty on the
part of the Masters was of course avoided, but the
result was an impliei underaandiag that in the mean
time the Factories would be open for them, and that
when perfect order should be restored, tail case
would be duly consicLa ed. In consequence, ere ex-
pect that on Monday the Factories will again be all
in full operation. I have not been able to learn whe-
ther the Masters mean still to adhere to their former
resolution of refusing work to those who had shewn
themselves most active in the turn-out.—A little time
will chew whether this is to be the system acted upon.
" With the weavers every thing is quiet in this
neighbourhood. The men wanted an increase of full,
SO pet Cent. The Masters have pretty generally
agreed to an advance of 20 per Cent. on the former
wages. At Ashton the Masters have agreed to the
full demand--tot however, to commence all at once,
but to proceed by a rise of 10 per Cent. monthly (if
the trade may be found able to bear it) till the ad-
tance reaches to from SO to SS per Cent.—We there-
fore consider peace and quiet as being perfectly

PROM THE 24ANCIIRSTER COURIER, SEPTEMIIER 12.

" By the unwearied exertions of the Borough-
reeve and constables, aided by the judicious arrange.
ment of the military power, the town ancrneighbour-
hood has remained perfectly tranquil since our last ;
and we have the satisfaction to state that the majority
of the Spinners have returned to their employment.
It is needless to particularize the different factories
that have recommenced active eperations: for it is

generally understood, that by Monday next, the whole
of the persons rent tilling out will go in.

" The principal Manufacturers having agreed to
advance the wages of the Weavers, the greater part
of them have resumed their employment. Hand
bilk have been posted up, soliciting a subscription
for those who still remain out. This the Magistrates
are determined to check, on account of its evil ten-
dency ; and have therefore issued a public caution,
warning the inhabitants of the illegality of contri-
buting or receiving contributions for promoting con-
spiracies among workmen.

" We antlersmud that the persons in the Infir-
mary, who were wounded before Mr. Gray's factory,
are going on favourably towards convalescence.

day, relative to the indictment against some of our
principal agitators, will be read with much interest :
