Extract of a letter from a Mr. B. formerly a manu facturer in Manchester ' PHILADELPHIA, Saea.ls.—Arcordiag to the promise I made you, when we parted at Liverpool, I avail myself of the earliest opportnnity to give you all the information in my power relative to lay situation anti prospects here, premising that my stock of information cannot be very extensive, as 1 only arrived the latter psi of July. I was detained nearly Nix weeks at Cork, waiting for all opportunity to ship the are titles I brought with me, and without which my coining here would have been worse than useless. At last, a favourable m omen t all i ce d, and all was got safely on hoard, and escaped the prying vied:ince of Ilse Custom !anise officers; and we arrived here after a pleasant passage of 29 days. I immedi ately waited on our mutual friend, Morrison, and found that, by his exertions, the extensive pi entices we were to occupy, were in a considerable state of forwardness, so that by Christ mas at farthest we expect to begin tear operatians. In the interim, nay time will be fully occupied in smserintending the construction of the machinery, from the modals I ',might with inn. I find the mechanics here far behind those in Etig• land ; and, were it not for the three I brought with me, I should quite despair of ever completing the al (41011. task in which we have engaged. I can say little of this country at present, not having been. a mile beyond the limits of the city since I arrived. I have, however, met with many whom I knew in England. There are, indeed, many hundreds here who have recently emigrated from the llaited Kingdom; and not a vessel strives that does not bring ael accession to their wunthars ; among them are many who are ektrentely dissatis. Bed, and ate resolved on returning again to England. This is not to be wondered at, when we consider the many thou sands that are continually emigrating here without stay pre. concerted plan, or the least knowledge of the country. Miley of these, if they do not meet with situations in the place where they first land, immediately feel disgusted with every thing around them ; and, instead of penetrating to the ititerior towns of the Union, where there is, 1 am well informed, room for countless myriads in all the useful and handicraft professions, they fall into a state of letliAtaic stupor. and sigh for their native cowry. I advise no man to emigrate who feels dime self comfortable at home ; and above all, I would have non come here who imagine they can procure a comfortable live lihood with less exertion than is required in their natise coun try. There are too man, idlers here :already dissatisfied and disgnsted with their change. The Consul's office is daily beset by these, who having remained until they have expend ed all their money, arc craving to be sent hack as dim ressed British subjects; and many are sent at the expense of the En glish Government to Canada. In short, I would have every man who wishes to emigrate, to well weigh every cif emnstatiee before he makes im his mind on so serious a measure —indas. try, prudence, anti economy, are quite as requisite here. to enable persons to make their way through life, as they are in England, or any other part of the globe; and withoutthese essential iequisites, a man, be his profession what it may, only exchanges for the worst. What surprises° me is, the cheap. mess of all articles of English manufacture. Manches ter goods can be purchasedj here, and, I am informed, in all the sea ports of the Union, for 'ecty little more than what they can be procured for on the spot. flat this lam cletlibly d will not long he the ease ; for as the infant Want'. factures increase, a higher ditty will be laid on importatiou." DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. —About fume o'clock on Welltiesday morning an alarming the broke out iu the am kshop of Messis. cabinet-makets. situate at the hack of several beeltsesl,sittiuy New tut, between Utibin and Brook streets, anti the wotks.eop, with the whole of its contents, soon became a prey to the devouring element. The back Bart of Mr. l'eiry's, glasicanatinfectivrer, those of Mr. Davies, East India shawl a arelimise, and Mr. Calloway, upholsterer, were observed burning with tee inmost Wry before an engine cold(' sloe its devastation. The extensive unction r of Mr. Pliblips is totally destroyed, with many valuable articles contained therein. Several other Insures are also greatly duds ntaged. By the arrival of a !mintier of etigins s, and by the prompt ram lions of the firemen, its dreadful ravages were prevented extending to the flout of these Weddings. We miderstand the has of property is very considerable.—The same meimitig, between t and 2 o'clock, a fire broke out in 'fooley..street, Berteigh. Sit rapid was the progress of the devouring elentimt, that before the engines could arrive, three Louses, consisting of a pork-shop, corn chandler's, amid a grocer's, were ettlittly destroyed, with the whole of their contents. We ate sorry to state that two persons base fallen victims to the flames.

We are concerned to record the melancholy fate of Mr. Wilkie, at Buttington, in the parish of Haan). Oil Monday last, that gentleman, having just returned from his ride, pro ceeded to loosen tile girths in order to take off the saddle, when his mare, a spirited animal, turned suddenly round, bit him in the belly, and lacerated him in a shocking manner. afeilical assistance was called in, both from the vicinity (lithe place and from Edinburgh; but, not witastaisiling all their efforts, Mr. Wilkie died on'l'huraday, evening afier enclosing ilo must excruciating agony.

The singular and re. markable preservation of this man, who is expected to re cover, is attribitted to his being at the moment stooping down fur the purpose of removing some stones in the boat, He now lies in the General Hospital, where he has every as. sistatice which, that noble institution can furnish him. We now pass on to the other victims of this heart rending catas trophe; and perhaps the first that claims our notice is Rowell, a boy aged only 11, the son of one of the book keepers belonging to the concern, who resided at a house in the yard. This youth, like the rest of his fellow-stiffen -to, presented a horrid spectacle; not a feature could be recog nized, and their bodies, or rather trunks, were so mangled that it was only by their cloathes they could be identified. About 50 yards east of the bnilding, in a direct line from it, stood Mr. Joint Platt, a respectable wharfinger of this town, who providentially escaped unhurt ; he was at the moment calling to three of his men, and petite them directions about the loading of a cart they were drawing in the yard, one at the shafts and two pushing behind. Being in a northerly direction, they fell victims to the blast, and were driven with the ortmost violence towards the large gates.—Their names were Joint Seales, a single man, aged A, who lived at what is called the barracks, in High-cross-street; William Norman, living at the sante place, aged 60, a widower, with nu family dependent on hint; and William Stevenson of Steemsou, aged 23, who had represented himself as coining, from Leicester.

This man had only been three days in Mr. Pyatt's employ. The next subject of fatal tinatine whom we shall notice, is William Parker, aged ouly 15, the son of a poor man. living at Carlton, in this neigh bourhood.
