The New Exchange Room at Manchester 
was opened onthe 2dof fanuaty. 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 ditection and su- 
perintendence, 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 ah appropriate entab- 
4 
Jature, upon which is placed an attic, divided 
by a pedestal over each column, and the 
intermediate spaces are adorned with orna-. 
mented pannels. The Exchange-room is con- 
tained in the semicircular part of the edifice, 
and Comprises an area of four thousand super- 
ficial feet 5 it is lighted by eight windows, 
and a semicircular sky-light in the centre of 
the dome covéring the room, which is forty 
feet in height: the dome is supported by 
eight Ionic reeded columns, standing twelve 
feet from the wall of the room, forming a 
colonade; four of which inclose cylindrical 
tubes of iron, heated by a proper apparatus, 
affording a regular temperature, aided by 
three fire places. The dining room is 66

approach to these rooms is by a commodious 
geometrical stone stair, fronting Exchange- 
street. The site of this building is the pro- 
perty of the Right Hon. Lord Ducie, and is 
held by the proprietors (who have erected 
the building by subscription) upon payment

Another benevolent Institution’ has been 
added to those which are so liberally support- 
edin Manchester. It is mamed, ** The La- 
dies’ Society for employing the Female Poor}* 
and the relief is intended, by giving those 
who are orderly and industrious, the oppor- 
tunity, ‘* by their own exertions,’ to contri- 
bure co the necessities of their families.’

The employment is to consist of making up 
wearing apparel, and other plain articles of do» 
mestic useiulness. Though but just establishe 
ed, there are now upwards of one hundred 
poor females employed, whose families are 
rendered comparatively comfortable, by the 
aid that is afforded them through the me- 
dium of this Institution. It is the sincere 
wish of those who see the preat adyantages 
that arise to the poor, from this mode of re- 
Nieving their distiesses, that many more may 
vanaiee of the benefits of this well-directed 
charity.
