BAZAAR.

Tuesday last beitig the day fixed for opening a bazaar in
Manchester, the pro eeds of which are destined to pm-
vide clothing for thet of the destitute poor, preparations
were made for that purpaxe in the great room of the Town
Hell; which, though in an unfinished state, was furnished
and decorated in as handsome a manner as a due regard to
the interests of the charity would permit. A number of
flags were suspended from the lower part of its noble
dolme, and the walls were ornamented in a similar manner
w 0 well-arranged drapery and festoons of artificial flowers.
,

Tie articles for sale having been arranged on Monday
morning, in the afternoon the room was opened for view
only. Its appearance on this occasion was extremely irate-
renting, the tables being covered with an astonishing va-
riety of needle and pencil work, from the plainest article of
a baby's wardrobe, to the most elegant ornaments of a
faahionable chimney-piece. Many of the latter exhibited
a correctness of taste, and a delicacy of execution, that re-
flected great credit Litton the fair artists that produced
them. Indeed the articles generally were highly honourable
to the female talent of Manchester; and we were often
tempted on looking at them, to wish that the author of
" Hints for the Holydays," in Blackwood, who has chosen
to be so satirical on female artists, had been present on this .
occasion. We 7;11 venture to say, he would either have
retracted his opinion, or have declared the ladies of Man-
chester an exception to its general application.
Tuesday morning had an unpropitious appearanee, and
at. one time threatened not only to diminish the pleasures
of the day, but which was of more consequence, to di-
Minish the proceeds of the bazaar. Towards the hour• of
assembling, however, which was ten o'clock, the clouds
cleared 011, and the remainder of the day was almost as
favourable as could be wished. . From the time at which
the doors were opened for the; admission of visitors until
dusk, the room was literally crowded, and at some periods
to excess. The company included nearly the whole re-
spectability of the town and neighbourhood, among whom
we particularly distinguished the Countess of Wilton, T.
4. Trafford, Esq. and family, George Philips, Esq. M. P.
and family, T. Houldsworth, Esq. M.P., W. Halton, Esq.
and Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn, of Eccles ; and gallantry
compels us to acltrtowledge that we never. saw so brilliant
a display of female beauty, on any former occasion in Man-
chester. The tables, which consisted of forty stands,
extended nearly the whole length of the room in a double
row. Each stand was attended by four or five ladies, who
discharged the duties of their respective departments, in a
manner highly honourable to their zeal in the cause of
the charity. To give these ladies their full ineed of praise
it ought to be recorded that they had. to endure the fatigue
of attending their stands i r upwards of nine hours in a
heated and crowded room.

So liberal had been the amount of contributions, that it
was found impossible to dispose of the whole of them on
Tuesday ; the
_bazaar was accordingly opened again yes-
terday morning, and in the course of the day the remainder
of the articles was sold. The very great interest excited
on this occasion is proved by the number of Visitors at
the Town-hall, who, on Tuesday, amounted to 634.0 per-
sons !I This estimate is made from the sum received at the
door at ls. each. We now come to the most pleasing
part of our duty, that of recording the result of these
charitable labours. And we are sure that the admiration
of ourTreaders will only be equalled by their satisfaction,
when they are informed that the total proceeds amount to
1740!., of which the sum of 310/. was taken at the doors;

the remainder is the produce of the sale. If such a result
surpass the expectations of the most sanguine promoters of
this benevolent scheme, the more justly are the amiable
contributors to it entitled to our applause; but we know
not in what terms, short of what may be called adulation, to
do justice to the good taste, good feeling, and good humour,
with which the cause of charity was promoted on this oc-
casion by the ladies of Manchester. But they will re-
ceive for their labours a higher reward than our praise
can confer ; and to the satisfaction derivable from the re-
flection that they have contributed to the performance of a
good work, will be added the blessings of those " who were
ready to perish."
Our readers will find, in the first page, an advertise-
ment from the Ladies' Committee, in which they express
their acknowledgments to our municipal officera„,atui other
local authorities; to the commanding officers of the 2d
Dragoon Guards and Grenadier Guards, and to othergen-
denten from whom they derived assistance and support.
We ought, perhaps, to have mentioned sooner how much
the two fine bands of the above regiments contributed to
the gaiety and cheerfulness of the Bazaar.—Manchester

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL's; OCT.

There was nothing done here to-day, the betAlng kitten beiug
still at Newmarket. The state of betting, as tersiessd Isom that
place, and inserted by us yesterday, auppuris the prediction that
the Wyndham horses would be first in tjae hettiug. The Elfred
colt is now first favourite at rather 144 than 20 to 1, which odds
will doubtless be materially lescited when the Newmarket Meet-
ings are concluded. Prom The running of the Duke of Gration's
horses of late,it can lit:ay be expected that they will rank high
in the odds.
