A NEW MANCTIESTER EXCHANGE.—A short time
*ince: we announced the intention of the proprietors of
the present Exchange to enlarge the building to a consi-
derable extent, and gave the particulars of their plans in
furtherance of their intention ; we have now to announce
the intention of a separate and independent party to erect
an entirely new building, in the neighbourhood of High-
street. We had yesterday an opportunity of inspecting a
drawing of the intended elevation, which, if carried out,
will be a very great ornament to the town—indeed, we have
!Id building in Manuhester that can at all be compared with
't ; it bears some resemblance in form to the Liverpool
Custom House, but is altogether a very superior and hand-
some structure, of two stories. The site is at the upper end
of Market-street, High-street, Cannon•street, and Palace-
Street, covering Marsden-square, the whole of the shop-
Warehouse and other property within those limits having to
come down. The buiiding is to form three sides of a square,
having the open or principal front to face into High-street ;
the open space in front; of the centre and between the two
!info will be a raised stone platform, to be approached
'Y A handsome flight of steps from High-street, for the
41.verienee of the congregated merchants and manufac-
turers during change hours. The news room is to occupy
the Market-street aide of the square or wing occupying two
stories, thus forming a spacious and lofty room, lighted by
three domes and the side-lights ; the size of this room will be
nearly the same as the large room at Exeter Hall, London,
shout 12,000 square feet ; the approach to it is made by three
entrances from Market-street. The centre of the building on
both stories will be cono'erted into offices, which will be let
Qff for mercantile purposes. The northern, or Cannon-street
Ping, will form a Stock Exchange, and a public mercan-
tile sales room ; above these rooms, on the second story,
will be a large room of corresponding dimensions with the
newsroom in the other wing, which will be a public room ap-
plicable to the purposes of a large music-room, or public
rneetings, or it will be divisible into three rooms, as occasion
may require. From the above sketch it will be readily con-
ceived that the erection will not be made at a slight expense,
and it is intended to accomplish the object by means of a com-
Pally to raise 200,000/. in 25/. shares ; the company is already
l`rovisionally registered in tccordance with the new Act, and
the projectors have received every encouragement from all
!leaner' where the matter has been mentioned. It will be
brought more prominently forward, we understand, in a feet

RELEAttE FROM A LONG CONFINEMENT.—On Tues-
'WY last, an aged mats, named Charlesworth, was released from
York Castle, after an imprisonment of 2'J years. In 1816 he
