According to Mr. Kennedy’s calculation 
that every person employed in spinning 
produces 900lhbs. per annum, the number of 
persons employed is 161,111. The number 
of spindles employed, supposing each to 
produce 15lbs. weight per annum, is 
9,666,666. ‘The capital invested in build- 
ings and machinery cannot be less than 
10,000,000. It is calculated that the rental 
of Manchester, including Salford, Chorlton 
Row, &c., will be increased at least 15,0007. 
this year by new buildings. The increase is 
principally in cottage property, under 12/. 
a-year.

DERBYSHIRE. 
A canal at Ashbourn has lately been pro- 
jected by Mr. Johnson, and his surveys 
submitted to, and approved by a recent 
meeting of the land-owners and traders of 
the district of Ashbourn. It is proposed, 
by a line little more than twenty miles in 
length, passing by the town of Ashbourn, 
to connect the Derby canai near to that 
town, with the Uttoxeter branch of tie 
Trent and Mersey canal. Its chief advan- 
tages will consist in conveying coals from 
both of its extremities into the district 
traversed by it, and the export of admirable 
freestone and limestone, some of it possess- 
sing water-setting properties, from the 
quarries with which it would connect in 
Staffordshire and on the east of Ashbourn ; 
besides opening a shorter and more direct 
water communication between Derby, Leek, 
the Wiches, Liverpool, Manchester, &c.
