tEICESTERSHIRE. 



From the annual report of the female afy- 

 lum, recently inftituiedat Leicefter, it appears 

 that the earnings of the children for tl'.e ye.ir 

 180.^ in wafhing, mangling, fewiiis;, knit- 

 tin^,, drclTing fowl:, &c. for hire, under their 

 o.vn roof, amounted to more than a fifth of 

 the whole expenditure of tlie charity for that 

 year ; fo that while the children are engaged 

 in the prnflice of thofe eniploymer.ts, which 

 are bcft adapfed to qualify thejn for ufcful f^-r- 

 vants, and (ult.ible wives for ho;icil and jnduf- 

 trious mechanics, they are alfo contributing 

 ju part towards their own maintenance and 

 fupport. 



We congratulate the counties of Rutland 

 and Leicefter, on the firft fruits of their agri- 

 cultural coalition ; tlie a7>pointmcnt of a wool 

 fair, which is to be held at Leicefter. The 

 benefits refulling from fimilar fairs in other 

 counties encourage the hope that the propofed 

 meafurc, will anfwer tliefanguine expeftatlons 

 of its promoters.
