roT=le. It is a great *aware to think that out
of the public spirit of Masebtater cute Hale
.spot in
this region is rescued from civilization, and gives up
to nature for ever. I refer to the new park,
created some six or seven years ago. There
the delighted eye will long be able to re-
pose on a green twig, and a smooth lawn. The
genius of Manchester is in truth not mach given to
Falstare weakaewe—green fields. No awe trim
garden squares, u with se, relieve the fiery red-link
monotony of the thoroughfares. The piece of water
and vegetation surrounding the Infirmary, is the only
merinos to Hygea and the Graces that I can call to
mind is the toe n itself, and a filt pool still ironically
called the Ardwick green—the oily one lathe enhorb
that is worthy of seance.
In London, you have nothing to compere with
Animate ; nor is it easy to convey toe leathern ap-
prehension, an exact, and yet not an exaggerated idea
of • population so anomalous. Two generations of men
have been reared on the spot since the mills were
first erected in the locality, and the character of these
men has been famed in the factory, under
the discipline of masters strict in their daily
requirements of order, duty, and punctuality. The
new productive power of England—the source of our
national wealth and prosperity—ths hope for many
&Went and thoughtful minds in our sir' the dread elf
so many others, equally sincere in their desire to see
every means of true progress laid under contribution
—this colossal power stands by the side of these
people from dawn till night, from birth to death, and
whether for good or evil, has done its work upon
them most completely. On the whole, I see reason
to believe that the feetory system has not produced
an evil result in this diritriet. In point of intellec-
tual development;both men and women are far above
the average. So far as the cultivation of the mental
faculties is concerned, the mill is one of the
very best of whoolt, The moment a boy
comes in contact • ith a =chine, he begins to
change. The machinery is really dangerous, and for
a time, at first, the worker is in momentary peril.
This circumstance quickens his wits wonderfully. To
duzu in a mill—to allow the faculties to fig for a
single instant—would be about as safe as to nod on
an omnibus running down Holborn-hill, or fall into a
reverie while cresting the carriage way at Temple-bar.
No one does it. The attention is kept incessantly en
the stretch; and although very pailful at first, the
mind and body habituate th.mselves in time to the
tension required ; and a marvellous promptitude of
ac, ion, quickness of perceptive organs, and readiness
of res .urce, are the consequence of this necasenry
mastery over the =whiner. The artizan of Ancoats
is generally a hard worker and a hard thinker. He
takes • good deal of interest in politics, has
some knowledge ,of public men, and in the
beer-house, or, as the case may be, in the
reading-room of his lyceum, keeps tolerably
up with the progress cf event,. Formerly the men
of this district met in nightly conclave in a convenient
spot called the "New Crow, where Accosts, Old-
ham-street, Man-street, and Olilbanercad, four of the
widest thoroughfares in Manchester, converge7te
discuss the various reforms of the day, the, minis-
terial vir.o s of Lord Melbourne, Henry Brougham,
Sir Robert Peel, and Druid O'Connell. Here,
every night in the week, might have been
gathered by an attentive observer and listener the
opinions of the workmen of the cotton district on
every question of public interest. Many a time
have 1 elbowed my way into the midst of
the excited group, to listen to the vehement
ors and laugh at the hearty mea.ures of
the •ster mechanics. When political feel-
ing errs dormant, the " two nations" found a
perpetual resource in their difference of religion. The
" Pope" and the " Virgin " come in for the most jokes
and sarcasms on the aide of the men of Lances :
th• Irishman usually retorted upon the pubic merits
of George 111., and the private virtues of his 6011 and
successor . The progress of the police has put an end
to these provincial parliaments ; and, instead of find-
ing good-humoured grcups enjoying their talk and
their jokes in the open air of an evening—as may',
still be seen in Paris, or in nearly every German town
—the observer must seek for them in the low pot-
houses to which they have been driven in the name
of " order "—that mockery and deluion of modern
society. .
. .

AnCols is abort' a mile in length and half a mile
in depth. Cutting this mum of mills and cottages
into nearly equal parts, is the canal which connects
Manchester with the north-eastern rivers of England.
A e'reet, called Union-street, runs slung the bank of
this canal—the other side being formed by a range of
grim and somewhat majestic mills, each mill being
worth about 50,0001. or 60,0001. The first three
factories of the range belong to three brothers—
Henry, James, and William M'Counell, and these we
ars now about to visit in company with one of the
urbane proprietors. These three mills contain 143,000
spindle., and the value of a concern being generally
reckoned at something less than twenty shillings a
spindle, the amount of capital inres•ed in these
" M'Coirnell Mills" mast be considerably more than
a hundred thousand pounds.

As I told you in my former letter, hardly any man
in Manchester has had a grandfather. On this
soil men are grown; nee, calm, self-sustained,
vigorous in stocks in a word, the founders of fami-
lies. With a frankness which does him infinite
honour, Mr. M'Connell was good enough to sketch for
me a put of his father's career. He was one of those
restless, unquiet spirits which exist at all times, bat
find their work and mike their best efforts in periods
of change and convulsion. In his native village, in I
the Scotch lowlands, he was famous as a mechanic—
'
having a faculty for keeping village clocks in
order; with a tarn to erratic courses under
a decent sobriety of demeanour. Like the chil-
dren of many families in the north, he was betttr
educated than the order to which he belonged.
Indeed this may be considered the cue with nearly
all the new rren who have come up in this district—
and am row wielding its gigantic powers. Their
wealth has come to them as a natural tribute to
their energy of character and superior knowledge.
Mr. M'Connell had two companions, somewhat like
himself, named Murray and Kenneday ; and these
three youths determined to migrate to El Dorado
together. (In foot they trudged it—Lke the great
heroes of antiquity—with great thoughts in their
minds but very little tiller in their s. One
may fancy these lads arriving one Cocky morn-
ing so far on their journey southward as
Chowbent, very weary and footsore, their money
nearly spout, and their brogues worn out— and, in
spite of the sternness of the Presbyterian
tenets in wl ich they had been reared at
novae, one of there, compelled by the necessities
of the cue, to go in search of the cobbler of Chow- i
bent, and, Sunday as it was, set him to work 'pan
the said brogues, and then part with his last bread
pit oe as the rs word of the friendly cobbler's industry.
So ther say it was; and the yams lad, with his fa-
tes*, Ike Cinderella, on his feet, walked on to Man-
cheater, and in time rue op to eminence and power.
These youths, as I have said, possessed a geaiva for
mechanics; they began to rook+ the new machine*
sad sell them. An accidental misfortune drove them
into the actual manufacture. They had made a mule
or two fur some persons who either wield not, or
would not, take them when finished. Having the
machines on his hands, Mr. M'Connell thought he
bad better act them to work : he was not the sort of

man to ardowa and rapine a; Oki film of thrtanel
in this world : and when mice the machinery began'
to work to hie pest; heesessiTe wlltbufr Mows, and

I tsar, Mr. Editor, that it is moil& some of your
resins may have bat an imperils* his of what •
mill is, even externally. I remember, eel,a few
weeks ago, heating a lady dummies the *helm
system in good set Mews, whose' say allies of a
mill was that it wu a private Bostils, es she had
heard a thousand times; and of the Bastille, of
coerce everybody knew the horrors and ini-
quills:. There was no need to explain
those, and so the charmer held her pri-
vate opinion. I will begin by telling you
that a mill is generally built in the form of an
oblong, and in Lancashire will average perhaps 260
or 300 feet in length, to 100 feet in depth. The
dock warehouses are more like them then anything
else you have in London perhaps—yes. I recoiled
the view of St. James' Palace from the park
is not much unlike that of a tenth rate mill. Is the
lower rooms, the first stages of the manufacture ars
conducted. The lowest is the card room, a different
sort of cards to those with which we relax in the
south, though perhaps not much unlike them in the
results, for these cards tear and grind the substance
of whatever comes in contact with them. In the
higher rooms the.spinniog is carried on. These mills
are all engaged in fine work, and consequently they
have a general appearance of cleanliness; the atmo-
sphere is tolerably free from the floating particles of
dust and fibre, and from oily and other offensive
smells, too often encountered in the factorial devoted
to the production of coarser numbers.

In these mills are employed 1,150 persons. The
weekly wages average about 4601. to 4801. ' • average
for each man, woman, and child, about Os. 9d. But
you are not to suppose that only 1,150 persons would
be left without employment and resources if these
works were to ba closed. On these parties probably
depend three times the number : junior branches of
the families; small citizens, as tailors, shoemakers,
&u.; and petty shopkeepers, and venders of cheap
articles in the streets. The mi`.l is the centre of a
circle—of a system; and any interference with its
regular action disturbs the relations of a tolerably large
community. Yet nothing is so common as the desire of
young legislate» to interrupt the natural action of,
such laws as Providence has impressed upon the world
of society; no absurdi, is too great for some wise
head to entertain in respect to the mills and the mill
population ; no annoyance too petty to inflict upon
the devoted wielders of the new power. Ad an in-
stance of this small work, I may mention a report
which got currency in London not very long since, to
the effect that factory labour was injurious to the eye-
sight, aid that factory hands generally had to wear
spectacles. Government was alarmed, and an inquiry
wan instituted, when it appeared that in the
" *Connell mills " only 25 persons wore spectacles
for a few hours io the day out of a body of 1,150, a
number less probably than the average of general
society.

I made particular inquiries among the workmen
here-21 I intend to do wherever the opportunity is
given to me—as to the working of the recent legisla-
tion on the factory question. I found the men in-
variably in favour of the Ten Moues' Bill ; but in most
of their minds the thought was evidently lying, that
after the present period of depression is over, the
wages even at the reduced hours of employment
must go up to the old mark. So far as I could gather
—very few of the men are content with affairs as
they now stand; they hope for a change in their
favour by an improvement in trade, and they wish
most ardently to preserve their present rate of daily
work, with the remuneration they were able to ob-
tain under the old law. The employers are decidedly
against the present act ; but their motives have been so
frequently impugned and their interests so often inter-
fered with, that they acquiesce for the moment in any
arrangement which may be made by the colleelve
seed= of the c,nelare at Sr. Stephen's in reserved
and haughty indifference. The ?ekes's. M'Connell
have never turned their attention to cottage building
fur their operative.. They heirs no school, on the
premise.. They take little or no notice of their work-
people when out of doors—unless they get so drunk as
to spoil the work. They have no reading or writing
test ; as that world have a tendency to raise wages
by sending part of the young children to school.
Children who work in the mill are sent to the Lyceum
—a small mechanics' institution, near to the factory
—where they are taught reading acd writing at a
cost to themselves of threepence each • week. In
the mill is pasted up an announcement that
in taking perm ns into the works a preference
will be given to such as can read and write.
but the reading acd writing is not obligatory. The
hands stated themselves to be in the enjoyment of good
health. The temperature wan high ; but the atmos-
phere tolerably pure and free from smell. The work-
people here have • strong objection to the relay
system, now declared to be legal. Few mills
work with relays. Generally speaking, the work-
men, young and old, are satisfied that 10 hours a day
are enough ; the young women are more annoyed at
the reduction of wages than the men. They are will-
ing to slave harder and get more money : perhaps
because they all hope to marry and leave tke mill in
a short time. Upon the conduct of the boys, the
11 change has produced a very good effect. Formerly,
as the " overlooker" informed me, they would often
say out on • fine afternoon—especially on Mondays ;
now they attend regularly to their hours of employ-
ment, and scamper off to the parks and fields, alter
the mill closes, at isalf-paat flee o'clock in the day.

THE WRECK OF TUE ROYAL ADELAIDS..—The
company to whom this vessel belonged have now In
coarse of preparation a memorial to the Lord, of the Ad-
miralty and the Board of the Trinity House, praying for an
inquiry irta the conduct of the officer is charge of the
Tongue lightship on the night the wreck took place. The
memorial is grounded on the following state of feats:—Mr.
lames Cattier, the receiver of Admiralty droits at Ramsgate
sad Margate, did not ran ire any announcement officially
epos the subject of the 'rick until about three o'clock on
Monday afternoon, Arra 1, the vessel having been wrecked
on Saturday previous, at 74 p.m., within • mile of the above-
named light. The communication then received by Mr.Cuttler
was made by Mr. Fruin,the diver, who bad been twice down
in the wreck during Sunday night and Monday, and thot
communication Mr. Cultist reduced to the form of a
regular deposition, to which Mr. Frets was sworn. Mr.
Cuttler then wrote to Mr. Charlewood, the superthiending
commandant of the coargaard service of that district, re
questing to know whither ea, and what signals of die-
tress had bees seen ty the coastinuda on the Margate
station from the wreck on the night of Saturday._ The reply
of Mr. Charlewood la to the effect that at the Westgate sta-
tion only one signal of distrne was seen, and ens gun heard
from the Tongue lightship ; and that having sees and heard
only one it wee presumed that the vessel ha got off ;
the night was dark and hazy, and the wind blowing very
hard from B.E. Mr. Chmleweed then gots on to say that !
he had ordered a ratter to attend the wreck, and protect the
divers In their °pecan As. Oa Wedfneday, the 3rd that, !
Mr. Cuttler wen: out to the Tongue lightthip, for the per-'
pose et aseertaining from the Wither la charge of that Yowl
on the night of the wreck what he knew of the circum-
stances attendieg It, and the sthemeat of that individual, as '
taken down in writing by Mr. Cutler, is in these words:
"Oa Saturday evening, the 30th ult., • large steamer, with a
Link hull, puled up the bight to the Prinee'a Channel, at
&boat 6 p in. At about 74 p.m., Lime evening, saw a steamer
ashore on the Tongue Banda, awl maw • flare from her deck,
AS if her funnel was gone. Soon after saw another flare, and
then one pin was fired from the lightship. It was then
blowing very hard from 8.E., and the sea very heavy Did
rot seed up any raekets, as the 11,chtithip is not supplied with
sap Oa Sunday wonting, at dAylight, sew the steamer a
total wreck on the sands, sod then fired another gen."
This is the state t f facts upon which the memorial is
'.aided, and which the company cor odors eafacient to call
II for an iamitiatd inveatigation. A subscription has also
