The Rev. George Holden, LL.D. He had 

 been forty years ncasier of the Free Gtam- 

 mar School, at Horton, near Settle, nnd, 

 during that period, had probably, educated a 

 greatt-r number of clergymen for the Esta- 

 blishment than most men tn a similar siiiia- 

 tion. He was a man of high classical and 

 mathematical attainments. He was calcu- 

 lator of the Tjde Table, which has for a 

 long series of years, been printed at Liver- 

 pool, and which, from the correctness of his. 

 calculations, has been of infinite service to 

 the port. 



LAN'C.'^SHIHE. 



A chamber of commerce and manufactures 

 has recently been established at Manchester. 

 Que of its first acis h.is been to nddrets a 

 memorial to Lord Liverpool, re'iuesiing in- 

 formation relative to the political relations 

 of Naples, as great quantities of British 

 property are there, and large orders on hand, 

 which under the present circumstances, 'ha 

 merchants are afraid of shipping off. 



Mechanism has reached great perfection 

 nt Manchester. At some of the cotton mills, 

 yarn has been spun so fine as to require 350 

 hanks to weigh one pound avoirdupois. The 

 perimeter of the common reel being one yard 

 and a half, 80 threads or revolutions would 

 measure 120 yards, and one hank seven times 

 as much, or 840 yards ; which, multiplied by 

 350, gives 29,406 yards, or 167 miles and n 

 frac;ioD. 



A numerous and respectable meeting of 

 the inhabitants of Liverpool, convened by 

 public advertisement, was lately held in the 

 Tennis Court, Gradwell-street, (a meeting 

 having previously assembled at the Town 

 Hall, at which the mayor presided, but whiO|j 

 broke up in confusion, from complaint an 

 defence of a partial and secret address got u*^ 

 by the loyal pBtty) for the parpose of oooP
