THE PEEL FAMILY. The introduction
calico-printing into Lancashire is ascribed to the Messrs.
Clayton, of Bamherbridge, near Preston, who began the
business on a smell scale as early as the year 1764. They
were followed, and with great vigour, by Mr. Robert Peel.,
the grandfather of the present Sir R. Peel. Mr. Peel ~,•;:5
originally a yeoman farming' his own estate, and lived ee:
Cross, afterwards called Peclfold, near Blackburn. Beira,
of an active e.nd enterprising disposition, he began the
manufacture of cotton, and he is mentioned as one of the
first persons who tried the carding cylinder. He ale)
took up the printing business ; and he made his first expe-
riments secretly in his own house ; and the cloth, inateae
of being calendered, was ironed in; a female of the family ,
the pattern adopted being a parsley leaf. Stimulated,
by the success of his experiments, he embarked in ter-
printing
business with small means and convenience:,
and shortly after removed to Brookside, a village two mile.
from Blackburn. Here he carried on the business for
some years with the aid of his sons ; and by great appli-
cation, skill, and enterprise, the concern was made emi-
nently prosperous. His eldest sea, Robert, afterwards.
created a baronet, possessed strong talents, which he
devoted assiduously to business from an early age, an
thus contributed much to the success -of the printing-.
spinning, and manufacturing businesses ; and in each
of these branches the Peels soon ttook a lead in Lan-
cashire. They eagerly telopted every improvement
suggested by others, and many improvements origi-
nated in their own extensive establishments. As the
elder Mr. Peel had several sons, Robert quitted his
father's concern shout 1773, and established him-
self with his uncle, Mr. Haworth, and his future fa-
ther-in-law, Mr. \William Yates, at Burr, where the
cotton-spinning and printing trades wore carried on for
many years with pre-eminent success, and on a most ea-
tcnsive scale, and are, indeed, continued, though in other
hands, to the present day. Mr. Peel, the father, with Wa
sons, and another, Mr. Yates, established the print-works
at Church, and bad also large works at Burnley, Salles
Abbey, and Foxhill Bank, and spinning mills at Althacn,
and afterwards at Burton-upon-Trent, in Staffordshire.
So widely did these concerns branch out, and so liberally
and skilfully were they conducted, that they not only
brought immense wealth to the proprietors, but set an
ex-
ample to the whole cotton trade, and trained up many "'-
the most successful printers and manufacturers in Lau..
easliire.—Baines' liistory of the Cotton Nantfacture.

NTEIt OF TIIE RIGHT SORT.--A
should have courage, but nothing more, to make him war.
he is required to be—neweiy, not afraid to leap at an,
fence his rider thinks proper to put him at. His mouth
will dcpcnd unon two things: first, upon the judgment ee'
the person who breaks him in in his celthood ; and, se
condly, upon the position of his hinder legs, but chiefly
upon the first. The mourh ought to be endowed with Fl',
much sensibility, that the slightest motion of the bit shona.
give him warning, end direct his course, which is signii
tautly implied by Horace, whoa lie says, " The .ear of,.
horse Ilea in his bridle." It is true, that what we call the.
" mouth" of a horse is an artificial feature; at all cvents,
a figurative term for his being easily acted upon by the'
bridle; but it is a point of the utmost importance in abuse.
r tor. Without it, in fact, he is absolutely danger-
ous to ride; for, although the skill and power of hie
ri,ler may prevent his running away, yet he ire
always in Jaeger of bring placed in some unpleasant altos--
lion or other by him. In the first place, he cannot be a
large fencer, nor safe at all :Wits of leaps, if lie will ii st.
suffer his rider to pull him together to collect him for the
effort of rising at them. Secondly, he is as dangerous in
gates only partly opened. Thirdly, if the
before hint should fall at a leap, he is
-
very apt
to leap upon him, or his rider; and lastly, his
goinghote r hnrnc throughdmtely
strength is soGeer exhausted then that of a horse, perhaps.not naturally so good, which is going quietly, and withir;
himself, by his side. When we consider how often it is
nup, or even turn a horse very short in.
crossing
o pullgentelosed c ountries, the value, even on the score
of cordart, of a good mouth cannot be too highly appre.
elated by the sportsman. But action, after all, in the
huuter is the main consideration. He should have encrge
in all his paces, but he way have too much of what ie
generally called action.—S men, of January.
