p next morning. What public or
national need then of a Manchester Customhouse?
The whole affair was a piece of folly; and govern-
ment are doing perfectly right in leaving its
concocters to pay its cost. Government has already
to pay for officers to prevent dlityable produce being
smuggled into the Mersey. It will he quite time
for it to pay for a separate staff of officials when
Manchester finds itself located as we are, or as
Cork is, which has " certainly a large water area,"
namely, the command of the Irish and British
Channels, and the Atlantic ocean.

At that time we did not
contemplate so early an adoption of the Free Trade
system as has since taken place. It was clear to
us, however. that the advantages attendant upon
proximity to markets, easy accession to supplies of
manure, the ready demand for milk, garden stuffs,
hay, straw, &c. would rapidly disappear under the
operation of a system of cheap and rapid commu-
nication, which, in effect, rendered the internal
counties of England, little removed from the posi-
tion of outskirts of the large manufacturing towns
of Lancashire. A further effect, too, we predicted.
Land in the immediate proximity of large towns,
partly through the railway facilities and partly
through the extension of omnibus conveyances,
would assimilate in value more closely than here-
tofore. A man might live at Huyton, at Ormskirk,
at Chester, at Aigburth, at Wootton, or at Hale, as
cheaply as in the immediate precincts of Liverpool,
