MANCHESTER.

MANUFACTORIES.

The great centre of the cotton manufacture, Manchester, will be an object of curiosity to the stranger on this account; and he will naturally be desirous to view some of the processes and the operations of those mighty agents, steam and machinery, which have added so much to the real wealth and glory of England.

With suitable introductions, the inquiring visiter may visit the following establishments, where he cannot fail to be astonished at the vast scale on which the staple manufactures are conducted; and the remarkable order, arrangement, and cleanliness maintained through all their departments. The immense spinning mills of Messrs. McConnel & Co., Henry-street, Ancoats, will furnish to the visiter an inspection of the various processes to which the raw cotton is subjected in the course of its manufacture into twist, or thread for weaving.

In the large manufactory of the Oxford-road twist company, in Oxford-road, he would see the processes of weaving by means of the steam loom.

In the patent card manufactory of Mr. J. C. Dyer, Stone-street, London-road, he would observe the very curious mode of manufacturing the cards used for teasing or carding the cotton; and in the large establishments of Messrs. Sharp, Roberts, & Co., machinists and engineers, Faulkner-street, he would see the various manufactures of steam engines, both stationary and locomotive, boilers, steam looms, and every other piece of machinery required for manufacturing purposes in this part of the kingdom.

In another branch of manufacture, that of silk, which is of growing importance and extent in Manchester, the visiter would be gratified by an inspection of the silk mill of Messrs. Royle and Crompton, Great Bridgewater-street.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS, LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS.

The Exchange and News Room, (now undergoing alteration and extension, for which end, the Post Office, now at the back of the building, is to be removed,) is situated at the foot of Market-street. It is a semi-circular building, with stone front, and the large room contains a full length portrait of Colonel Stanley, many years member for the county.

The Town Hall, in King-street, is a fine structure, founded in 1822; by application to the porter, the stranger will obtain admittance to the hall or "large room," which is very handsomely decorated with fresco paintings, and by rich mouldings, friezes, from the Elgin marbles, &c.

The Royal Institution in Mosley-street is open twice every year, during the exhibitions of paintings; one being limited to those of old masters and deceased artists; the other restricted to those of modern and living artists. The entrance hall and sculpture gallery are worth notice. Admission a shilling.

Nearly adjoining, at the back of the Royal Institution, is the Manchester Athenaeum, now in process of erection, the members of which at present occupy the lower wing of the Royal Institution, with an entrance in Bond-street. The front of the Athenaeum is also in Bond-street, and when it is finished the two buildings will form a very pleasing proof of the architectural resources of Mr. Barry, the architect of the two new houses of parliament

The Manchester Mechanics' Institution is a spacious brick edifice in Cooper-street, with large lecture theatre, good library, and commodious class rooms. To the Athenaeum and the Mechanics' Institution there is no difficulty of access.

The Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester, one of the oldest and most celebrated of provincial institutions, having been founded in 1781, has distinguished itself by its annual volumes of published memoirs, and is now distinguished in the person of its President, the venerable Dr. Dalton. Its Hall is in George-street, nearly opposite St. James's Church; but as the sittings of the society are not daily, little information can be given as to the admission of strangers. Scientific men would doubtless find no difficulty in obtaining an introduction.

The Museum and Hall of the Natural History Society, in Peter-street, can only be entered on presenting an order from a subscriber. The Museum is very rich in almost every description of natural history; we believe in ornithology it is particularly so; its collection of British birds is said to be unequalled, and its entomological department is becoming exceedingly extensive.

The Concert Hall, at the top of Lower Mosley-street, is an elegant building, especially in the interior; having a neat stone front.

In Mosley-street are the Assembly and Billiard Rooms, with a plain and somewhat dingy exterior; but the Ball Rooms are spacious and elegant.

Opposite is the Portico, so called from its large Ionic portico fronting the street,--a Subscription Library and News Room.--There are two other Subscription Libraries in the upper floors of the Exchange, and a fourth in Newall's Buildings, Market street, all of considerable extent.

In an old low building, (north of the Collegiate Church) to which entrance is had by a small gate adjoining the Palatine Buildings, Hunt's Bank, the stranger will find what will amply repay even a hurried and hasty visit. This building is named the College; in it are educated a number of boys who, from their dress, are distinguished as the Blue Coat Boys. In the upper floor of the building is a long corridor, traversing three sides of the building, two of which are converted into a library, the books generally being deposited in bays, or enclosed recesses, and locked up. This library, which contains upwards of 20,000 volumes, was founded by Humphrey Cheetham, who lived in the 17th century, and is wholly free; but the books are not to be removed from the place. There is a spacious reading room at the further extremity of the library, where the student may take his worm-eaten folio, and seating himself in an old carved chair, may easily transport himself in fancy, two centuries back; for the room is of oak, panelled and carved, with old tables, chairs, and other furniture corresponding to the period; and several old pictures of the founder and other worthies. In the library, above the books, are suspended various specimens of stuffed reptiles, and other objects, which are shown to the visiter by one of the blue coat boys, for a small gratuity; the chief curiosity in the exhibition being the broad Lancashire dialect, and strange mode of description, given by the little showman.

To the Botanic Garden, Old Trafford, Stretford Road, (to which omnibuses convey visiters to Market-street,) the admission is by an order from a member or subscriber; the secretary is Mr. S. E. Cottam, Brazennose-street. The garden covers 17 acres, and contains in its noble conservatories, some of the rarest and finest exotics and tropical plants to be seen in the kingdom.

The Zoological Gardens are about a mile and a half on the new Bury road, whither the stranger can be conveyed by omnibus from Market-street. One shilling procures admission to these gardens, which are as extensive as those in Surrey, covering 15 acres of ground, and, although of recent foundation, they already contain many very fine and rare animals, including a rhinoceros, elephant, lion, tigers, &c., and a very good collection of hardy plants.

PLACES OF WORSHIP.

_The Collegiate Church_.--The parish church of Manchester, and generally called "The Old Church" by the inhabitants, is within a short distance of the Exchange, at the foot of Market-street, whence the stranger, by passing through the Market Place and Old Millgate, will find himself at the principal gateway to the church-yard, which is always open. The church is a fine old edifice; in the choir are some curious carvings in wood; the canopies for the stalls show the taste of the artist in tracery. The altar piece is a relic of the loom,--a faded pictorial representation on tapestry, of which the colours and forms are now obscured by the touch of time. There are in the church several enclosed chapels; amongst others, one of the Earls of Derby. In the south transept, near the entrance to the registry, is the spot where, for a few short weeks, rested the remains of the gifted and hapless Malibran,--since removed to the church of Lacken, near Brussels. Passing thence to the registry, is a mural monument, in white marble, by Chantrey. Adjoining the registry is the chapter-house,--the ecclesiastical government of the parish being vested in a warden, and four fellows constitute the chapter, and who will probably be appointed dean and canons, when the see of Manchester is erected. The parish of Manchester is of great extent, including upwards of thirty townships.

Of the other churches in the town our limits admit but of a brief notice.

_St. Ann's_, in St. Ann's Square, is an example of the anomalies of some ancient parishes,--it forms, with its grave-yard, a parish of itself; and, we believe, though standing in the very heart of Manchester, it counts but one house in its parish.

_St. Mary's_, in St. Mary's Street, Deansgate, has a very fine spire, surmounted by a ball. This was the scene of a feat of one of the Woottons, the steeple climbers, who, by some simple apparatus, as ropes, climbed up the giddy height, and removed the old ball and cross, which had been damaged by lightning.

_St. Paul's_, in Turner-street, has no architectural pretensions, or other claims to special notice.

_St. John's_, St. John's Street, Deansgate, is a plain, brick edifice, once the scene of the pastoral labours of the Rev. John Clowes, a disciple of Emanuel Swedenborg.

_St. James's_, St. James's Street, is a brick building.

_St. Peter's_, at the foot of Mosley-street, a handsome stone edifice, resembling a Grecian temple.

_St. Michael's_, Angel-street, _St. Clement's_, Lever-street, and _St. George's_, St. George's Road, have little to tempt the stranger to visit them, for their external appearance.

_St. Matthew's_, Camp Field, is a very handsome stone structure, in the English style of architecture, erected in 1825; and the large area in front gives the spectator room to see its form and proportions, unimpeded by surrounding houses.

_St. Andrew's_, Travis-street, London-road, is a neat Gothic structure of stone, built in 1831.

_All Saints'_, in Grosvenor-square, Chorlton-on-Medlock, was erected in 1820: it is a stone building, standing in the midst of an enclosure, in the centre of the Square.

_St. Saviour's_, Plymouth Grove, Chorlton-on-Medlock, is a stone edifice, which is intended to receive a tower at some future period.

In Salford, _Trinity Chapel_, Chapel-street, and _St. Stephen's_, St. Stephen's Street, have little to interest the stranger.

_St. Phillip's_, near the Adelphi, is a stone edifice, with a semi-circular colonnade in front, and a circular tower and dome of slender proportions, which have been compared to a pepper-box.

_Christ's Church_, Acton-square, beyond the Crescent, Salford, is of stone. Its minister, the Rev. Hugh Stowell, M.A., is one of the most popular preachers in the town. Not a mile beyond this, is Pendleton church,--a neat Gothic structure of stone, which from its position, is a pleasing object from many points of view for miles round.

_St. George's_, Hulme, is a specimen of the florid Gothic in some of its architectural decorations.

_St. Luke's_, Cheetham Hill, now in progress of erection, the first stone being laid in June, 1836, is another Gothic edifice, of some pretensions.

Amongst the dissenting chapels and meeting houses, those of the Methodists and Independents are the most prominent for their numbers and size. The Wesleyan Methodists have about a dozen; of which, the principal are the chapels in Oldham-street, Grosvenor-street (Chorlton-on-Medlock); and in Irwell-street, and Gravel-lane, Salford. The New Connexion Methodists have two; the Primitive Methodists, four; the Independent Methodists, two; and the Methodist Association, (the seceders under Dr. Warren,) five or six chapels in the town and suburbs.

The Independents have seven or eight large chapels; the principal ones are, that in Mosley-street, the scene of the late Rev. Dr. McAll's ministerial labours; that in Grosvenor-street, in which the late Rev. Mr. Roby once ministered; and one in Rusholme-road,--the last being the only one of handsome exterior.

The Particular Baptists have three chapels; the Society of Friends, a very large, neat building, with stone front, in Dickenson-street; the Scotch Church is a neat stone edifice, opposite St. Peter's Church, St. Peter's Square; the Scotch Presbyterian, or Secession Church, in Lloyd-street and Mount-street, is a plain brick building.

The Unitarians have four chapels; that in Cross-street, a large brick building, was destroyed by a mob, in what were called the "Sacheverel riots," and parliament voted 1,500 towards its re-erection. There is a small chapel in Salford, in Dawson's Croft, Greengate; a large and very handsome stone-fronted edifice in Bridge-street, Strangeways; and a beautiful and spacious structure, one of the purest specimens of the English style of architecture in the town, nearly completed, in Upper Brook-street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, for the congregation formerly worshipping in the Mosley-street chapel.

The Swedenborgians have two chapels; one in Peter-street, Manchester, the other in Bolton-street, Salford. There are seven chapels for the Welsh, of different denominations; three, severally called "Christ Church," for particular denominations of Dissenters; and the Jews have a synagogue in Halliwell-street.
