To the numerous lamentable accidents that have been occasioned by intoxication, r.nd a propensity to drinking, the present unfortunate instance of self destruCtion may he added:—CHARLOTTE BLAIR, a young woman, only eighteen rears old, was ob•zrved by the neighbours about Porter-street, Leicester fields, (where she resided) to be on Friday night last extremely unhappy and dejeCted in her mind. At a late hour she appeared.at the street-door of the house in which she lived, apparently in liquor. She addressed several of her acquaintances, and in a pe culiar manner bid them good-b'ye, declaring it was the last time she should see them. On meeting a person that lives in the lower part of the house, she said she had just taken half an our,ce of laudanum, which she bought fOr the purpose of putting an end to her existence. No notice, however, was taken of the expression, as the unfortunate girl appeared to be intoxicated. She then went into the room where her mother was, and asked to shake hands with her, observieg that she had taken poison, and would be dead by the next morning. Her mother supposed front her appearance, that she had been chinking and did not know what she said, therefore placed no confidence in such an assertion, but ad vised her to go to sleep, and not to give her any un easiness tie fabricating so dreadful a story. It, how ever, appeared to be too true. She retired to rest, and on the morning following was found dead in her bed. The : . motives that aCtuated the deceased dus to put a period to her life, at present is not et a :ily known. The general' belief, however, is, that her predominant passiou for drinking had produced a variety a raisfortuneE, which had so forcibly af idled her feelin ,, s, that her intelleCts became de rlnge.l, in whi, shuation she had unhappily de prived herself of life. 4 '~t ~.__ __rim a..~~~ ®.d ~., ::.~~~' RtPORf OF Tat SOC , Ert volt ottztaiva 715 CONDITION OF ME POO& We have obtained a Copy of the Report of a Selea Committee of the Society on a very interest ing suhjea, which engaged the attention of Parlia ment hot winter,—lne Situsriou or APPHLN TICLS IN KOTTON MILLS. We think our readers will be highly gratified by its perusal. REPORT OF A SELECT COMMITTEE UPON SOME 011. SERVATIONS ON THE LATE ACT RESPECTING COTTON MILLS, AND ON THE ACCOUNT OF MR. HEM'S VISIT TO A COTTON MILL AT EVRLEY, TV THE COUNTY OF YORK. The -Select Committee is sensible of the great increase of wealth, and the large portion of na tional revenue which is derived from Cotton Mills. A body.of men so respectable as those ma nufacturers, who, at the same time that they have made princely fortunes for themselves, have added fresh sources to the strength and prosperity of their country, must always be entitled to respect and at tention ' • and any objet ions that come from them will be fully intitled to consideration and discussion. In the observations, the Committee has first to notice the remark, that " no grievance has been alleged to exist, as a cause for what is termed the interference of the Legislature."—Whether con clusive proof has ever been offered of the existence of such grievance, may be the subjelt of question ; but it can never be d.:nbted that allegations have been made, not only of grievances existing in many of our Cotton Mills, but also of the health and mo rals, the present and future hopes, of thousands of children being annually sacrificed in them. These allegations have been repeated by individuals visit ing, and by families residing, in their neighbour hoods ; and they have been frequently noticed by the magistrates. From other documents, offering at least a ground of inquiry on the part of the magi strates, the resolutions • of the justices in the neigh bourhood of Manchester, and of those in the West Riding of York, where the above-mentioned Mill is situate -1., have been selected, and are subjoined to this Report. In the observations t it is stated to he necessary, that about one-sixth part of the apprentices in Cot ton Mills should work by night ; for, " free labour ers cannc be obtained to perform the night-work, but upon very disadvantageous terms to the mann fiEturers ; who, for the sake of securing one spin ner, would, in many cases, he obliged to engage the whcle family, consisting of five or six persons, without being at all benefited by the labour of the rest."—There seems to be no inconvenience, to the public at least, that the manufaCturer sho uld find it his interest to employ the other members of a poor family for the sake of. one good workman; but it is evidently cruel and unjust, that the poor orphan, or the deserted child, should be compelled to do that night-work which the tree labourer can not, on any praelicable or moderate terms, be in duced to undertake. The manufaCturer's loss, by the cessation of night-work, appears to the Committee to be very much over-rated. It is stated in the observations, that only about one-sixth of the apprentices, in the mill at Barley, worked by night —The use of free labour continues, as in a free country it ought ever to he, inrestrained. Bes Mes this, the restriction as to ap prentices does not go to a moiety of the twenty-four hours, but leaves fifteen hours a-day for work. Agaia, in large raills,.like that at Burley, two yeais are allowed by the ad (to the 125th of Jane, 1604) to prepare for the cessation of night-work. So thet either the hiring of a few free labourers, or the ad dition, in the course of- those two years, of a little more building (equal to an eighth-part of their ex isting work-roiaLs) will enable them to continue their present amount of work. Your Committee observes that, in the observa tions, an objection is made, in very strong terms, to the guarded and limited power, which by the ad is given to Magistrates to visit Cotton Mills, and to make a report of their state and condition. It is said, that if this power is once exercised, " all sub ordination will be at an end : let the visitors con dud themselves with what discretion they may, the mills and factories will become a scene either of idleness and disorder, or of open rebellion." This assertion conies very unexpectedly froni a gentle man, who has very lately invited a voluntary and gratuitous visit to, and report upon, his own fac-. tory ; and the reasons given in the observations why such visits will " be attended with the worst of consequences," do not afford immediate pleasure on the perusal. It is stated, that " a considerable de gree of authority must be exerted, and very strict discipline must be kept up, to ensure the continu ance of good order, and respect and obedience to the master." What these words may mean in other countries we cannot say ; but, in England, they would be applicable to none but criminils ; cer tainly not to orphans and deserted children, the ge neral description of those who are sent to Cotton Mills. With regard to the children of beggars and chimney-sweepers (the only two classes of appren tices enumerated in the observations) the first have, unfortunately, and by a radical defect in our police, a much more lucrative trade ; and of chimney, sweepers, those in good business are in the receipt of many hundred pounds a-year, and can advance their offspring more profitably in life ; and even the poorer chimney-sweepers can always employ their children, to more advantage, in their own business. _ • ;~,. Magistrate eiintinne isrecisely we same as before the passing of the Ad. It is the spirit of our poor laws, that all poor apprentices should be, peculiarly and immediately, under the view, controul, and protect. on of the Magistrate; and if he should be induced to allow personal or private motives to in fluence his magisterial conduCt, the Court of King's Bench is ever ready to remind him of his duty." That Cotton Mills should become, what in the observations they are stated to be at present, a de sirable seminary for children, is the objet and in tent of the Aft. But your Committee apprehends that will never be the case, while they are sent in numbers from workhouses in the -metropolis, to places distaht and unknown, secluded from the eye of the Magistrate, and with no ear to which they may address their complaints; but depending for protection and preservation, either on the attention of their own parochial overseers, who have re moved them far from their observations, or on the kindness and parental affection of those who have received them for the purpose of making a con siderable advantage of their labour, with very little out-going. In adverting to Mr. Hey's Account, the members of the Seled Committee feel a real satisladion, in expressing their misc.& for his personal and profes sional character. •The purposes of the Ad, they think, could not be better answered in any other way, than if Mr. Hey, and such men as he, would, in a magisterial capacity, accept the office of visi tors of the Cotton and Woollen Mills. But as to the view which he took of the mill at Burley, on the 30th of April, 1802, it appears to have been merely the visit of a friend of a manufacturer : it vas made at an hour when the mill and the children were prepared for his reception; and by a person who had no power of controul, no means of redress. If we could suppose that it had been made to some other mill, where a system of cruelty and ill-treat ment might have prevailed, what inducement would the children have had to make known the•ill-usage they had received ? What could they have expeded from it but punishment and increased severity ? By Mr. Hey's Account we are informed, that the night-working apprentices " work from seven in the evening to six m the morning. Their dinner is brought them at midnight ; but the mill isnot stop ped, to allow them any period of perfed rest for eating their dinner. They take it whenever the work is going on so favourably, as not to prevent them from eating. After leaving the mill at six (in the morning), they take what is to them a supper, and are employed till ten in the morning, either in learning, which is pursued in the winter season, or, in summer, in sportive exercises. They then go to bed, and rise at six, or half past six in the evening; and, after their breakfast, go to the mill at seven." —The Account afterwards states, that, " the night workers are not changed, but do this work for tour' or five years successively." Such is Mr. Hey's account. —Now, if we were to read in the history of some part of Asia, or Africa, an account of children who, from seven to twelve years, or from eight to thirteen years of age, were doomed to unceasing labour every night without the glad and natural return of day—without a few minutes of respite fur their meals—and (in the win ter half-year at least) without even anhalf-hour for that relaxation which is the comfort of mature age, and the essential possession of the young—should we not shudder at the perusal ? Should we give very willing credit to any detail that was subjoined, of the health and happiness of these children ? And, if (to pursue the consideration) the for of that country should have prepared, the progres sive emancipation of these children, at the end of two years, what language should we hold as to those, who would unite to prevent their receiving the benefit of so just and politic a law ? If ni"ht employment is not the died of coercion, why, the Committee would ask, are not other chil dren employed in it by turns ? Why cannot the free labourers be bribed to take their share of it ? With all the curiosity and fickleness, which perpe tually induces children to seek for change and no velty, even to their prejudice, Mr. Hey informs us, that no boy who worked by day would prefer the night-work : and in the observations, we are told, that no terms, which the manufadurer can afford to give, would induce the free labourer to work by night. What then are we to suppose of other chil dren preferring it ?—What, of their informing us that their health is improved by it, or that they have more time and leisure for their education, and to pursue their studies, while they work by night ? The exclusion of the Magistrate from the irtspec don of Cotton Mills—the labour of children for many hours, without any cessation on account of food, or of instruction, or of relaxation—and the continued praCtice of night-work by the same chil dren for years, without change or vicissitudes of hours, are circumstances which the Committee flat ters itself do not occur in many Cotton Mills. It has not been alleged that grievances .do exist in all Cotton Mills. fhe Committee has a pleasure in stating, that many * are now worked, in confor mity to the principles of the late Al of Parliament. Respite is allowed in them for meals, for relaxation, for instruction ; and an entire cessation of labour takes place during the night. From the pradical experience fi of those Mills, the regulations of the late Mt were framed. • • The following Report (28th January, 1803) of several Cotton Mills where regulations, similar to those of the Act, were introduced some time before the passing of the late Act, will give much pleasure to the reader.—" As the new regula ' " tions were adopted long before the time prescribed by the ------ - " Bill, their effects are now fully ascertained.

M i xed Cloth-H a ll, in Leeds, at 12 o 'clock at novo, to consider ITpon the whole; the Selec=t Committee submits to the Society, that, however well regulated and Well concluded the mill at Burley may be, there appears nothing, even in that instance, to impeach the pro priety and e:Tediency of the late At respeding Cotton Mills. And it is conceived, even if that mill did not especially and peculiarly call for the general provisions of the Aft, a mere insulated case would afford no reason against a general law, to extend those provisions to other cases, - where it is so much wanted. They conclude by expressing their opinion, that the placing of Cotton and Woollen Mills more immediately under tlip inspedion and controul of the Magistrate, the preventing of ap prentices from being worked by night, and the pro viding for their health and cleanliness, and for their moral and religious instruftion,—as has been done by the late Ad,—is essential, not only to the con dition and moral charader of apprentices and of others employed in these Mills, but to the welfare of the community at large.
