LANCASHIRE.

The New Exchange Room at Manchester was opened on the 2d of January. In point of architectural elegance and convenience, it is an ornament to the town, and reflects the highest credit upon Mr. Harrison, of Chester, the architect under whose direction and superintendence, the building has been erected. This building comprises an exchange room, dining-room, and drawing-room, ware-rooms, shops, and counting-houses, a suit of rooms for the post-office, with cellaring under the whole, well adapted for the depositing of merchandize. It presents a semicircular front to the market-place, and a straight one to Exchange-street, built of Runcorn free stone, ornamented with half columns of the Grecian Doric order, supporting an appropriate entablature, upon which is placed an attic, divided by a pedestal over each column, and the intermediate spaces are adorned with ornamented pannels. The Exchange-room is contained in the semicircular part of the edifice, and comprises an area of four thousand superAval feet; it is lighted by eight windows, and a semicircular sky-light in the centre of the dome covering the room, which is forty feet in height: the dome is supported by eight lonic reeded columns, standing twelve feet from the wall of the room, forming a colonade; four of which inclose cylindrical tuves of iron, heated by a proper apparatus, affording a regular temperature, aided by three fire places. The dining room is 66 feet long, and 33 feet wide; the drawingroom is 36 feet long, and 26 feet wide, of a proportionate height, and communicating with rach other by means of folding doors; and the *pproach to these rooms is by a commodious geometrical stone stair, fronting Exchangestreet. The site of this building is the property of the Right Hon. Lord Ducie, and is held by the proprietors (who have erected the building by subscription) upon payment of a yearly chief rent. There are at present 11 subcribers, producing annually 23701.

Another benevoleat Institution has been added to those which are so liberally supportad in Manchester. It is named, The Ladies' Society for employing the Female Poor;" and the relief is intended, by giving those who are orderly and industrious, the opportuty by their own exertions, to contribate to the necessities of their families,

The employment is to consist of making up wearing apparel, and other plain articles of do mestic usefulness. Though but just establish ed, there are now upwards of one hundred poor females employed, whose families are rendered comparatively comtortable, by the aid that is afforded them through the medium of this Institution. It is the sincere

wish of those who see the great advantages that arise to the poor, from this mode of relieving their distresses, that many more may partake of the benefits of this well-directed charity.

At Lancashire, Mr. William Rathbone, mer chant, of Liverpool; whose loss will be deeply felt and regretted, not only by a numerous acquaintance, but by society at large. To do justice to his character would far exceed our limits, whether we consider him as a man, as a christian, or as a philanthropist. Constant endeavours to promote the happiness of his fellow-creatures and the welfare of society, were his chief delight; his heart overflowed with the milk of human kindness; and the urbanity of his manners, and, uncommop punctuality as a tradesman, endeared him to all around. His consequence in the mercantile world, in which he was looked up to in all affairs of importance, and his endeav ours to get the existing (and to him obnoxious) Orders in Council, repealed, will be long remembered. His illness has been long and painful, but he supported it with christian patience. As a proof of the great esteem and regard he was held in by his neighbours, we are informed that, although he was a member of the society of Friends, public pray

ers

ers were offered up for his recovery, at scveral churches and chapels in Liverpool, a few weeks past.
