PRIVATE LETTER 710 X XANCIIIPITZI, OCT. 13.
The etelement in my letteritt jeSterilay, relative
to the reduction of .the Weavers, is unfortunately
confirmed. Toe reduction is about one-fifth of what
they obtained by the recent turn-out, and will, I
understand make a difference of 24. per week, on the
average to each individual. Although tt.is would
appear trivial were their wages such as men ought to
receive for their labour, yet, at the very low rate
these poor men are paid, it will be a serious evil to
Ahem. It is, I understand, the great houses that
have set the example of reducing the men's wages.—
It is needless to say, that this unlooked-for measure
has caused general dissatisfaction. Several meetings
of the Weavers base been held, and delegates dis-
patched throughost the whole of this district, to
consult what It may be best to do for the common
benefit.
P. S. I have just learned that another meeting of
the Weavers of this town sod neighbouhood will be
held to-night (in divisions), to discus. a proposition,
which has been submitted to them—namely, to give
in their reeds, and reform to work for those Manu-
facturers who have now stood foreinnat to reduce their
watt... Another Turn-out is expected to be the reselt
of this business.

bands of those who were to deposit it on each side,
and consequently would certainly be made good.--
Like the match between Randall and Turner, this
will be a great sporting one. Elites is decidedly the
best sparser of the day, ilith weight somethirtg under
eleven stone; bet Scroggins beat him by rut:
fianing away his science, and sobstitoting - hiss
for parries. Hall has the best of weight rather,
•nd possesses first.rate science also. 110 was heat
by the Irish champion, Donnelly, although the fight
was brought to a wrangle. Betting-5 to 4on Hall.
On the other fight, 5 to 4 on Randall, although Tut'•
ner has his strong fanciers.

house, is at length completely cleared away; and
the space which it covered has been sown with grass
seeds. The floor of this building was raised upon
short pillars, with a view to preserve the turf, by a
free circulation of the air, but the scheme did not
succeed; for when the superstructure esa removed,
the vegetation was found to be entirely destroyed.
