,illustration3 ,river ,front of         
,hungerford ,market4    ,an act was     
obtained in #ahcj1 incorporating a      
company of proprietors for  the         
re-establishment of ,hungerford ,market4
 ,the site of the old market  has been  
purchased1 together with the surrounding
 houses1 those in  ,hungerford-street1  
and some few in the ,strand1 in order to
 ensure a  proper frontage and secure a 
convenient access to that thoroughfare4 
,many of these buildings are pulled     
down4 ,the architect of the ,new ,market
  is ,mr4 ,c4 ,fowler4 ,the front to the

 river is completed externally1 and     
forms a very elegant structure1 as      
represented in the above view4 ,the     
basement of the centre next the river   
constitutes the ,fish-,market4 ,the     
wings are intended for taverns1         
connected by a colonnade with a terrace 
which occupies the entire front4 ,from  
the ,fish-,market the ascent is by a    
spacious flight of steps in the centre  
externally1 and two staircases  within1 
at the extremities of the portico1 which
 is separated from the  hall by a screen
 of arches4 ,the hall1 exclusive of the 
porticoes1 is #aeg  feet long by #abc   
feet wide1 consisting of a nave and two 
aisles1 besides  ranges of shops against
 the side walls1 with galleries over4   
,these  galleries are approached by four
 staircases at the extremities4 ,the    
floor of the hall will be occupied by   
ranges of stands for casual  business1  
with convenient avenues between them4   
,the galleries will be  appropriated for
 the sale of such articles as require a 

neat display1  and will be disposed     
somewhat in the manner of a bazaar1 with
 a range of  counters1 c41 and a walk in
 front4 ,the roof of the nave1 or centre
  compartment of the building1 being    
raised above the other parts by a  tier 
of open arches1 ensures an ample supply 
of light and air2 the roofs  of the     
aisles are likewise open in the centre1 
in order still further to  secure that  
important object4 ,underneath the whole 
of the hall is a  range of arched       
cellars or vaults1 having approaches in 
various  directions4 ,the upper court   
corresponds nearly with the lower court 
or  ,fish-,market1 but at the level of a
 story above it4 ,the colonnades are    
here combined with shops and dwellings  
for resident shopkeepers4 ,the  columns1

,,village ,,poor-,,house4 ,by a         
,,country ,,curate4 ,smith1 ,elder1     
,co4 #ahcb4    ,this little volume      
claims our attention by the high        
poetical talent it  displays4 ,it       
professes1 moreover1 to describe the    
actual state of  feeling amongst the    
poor1 or the labouring body in          
,england--that class  of society to     

whose wants and improvement our humble  
labours are mainly  directed4    ,the   
author thus beautifully opens his       
subject3--                    ,our      
village has a pleasant look1            
,a happy look as e'er was seen--        
,right through the valley flows a brook 
,which winds in many a flowery nook     
,and freshens all the green4            
,on either side1 so clear and white1    
,a row of cottages you see--            
,and jessamine is clustered o'er        
,the humble trellis of each door1       
,then left to clamber free              
,and shake its blossoms far and wide    
,o'er all the white-wash'd cottage side4
                      ,as dying evening 
sinks away1                    ,the old 
church tow'r1 erect and grey1           
,catches far up the parting light       
,and half grows holy to the sight4      
,but from this description of the       
village itself the author passes to its 
inhabitants1 and then would prove to us1
 that this external beauty is  but a    

veil to cover what is in reality a more 
disgusting place than a  charnel-house4 
,for within the village1 he says1 there 
is nothing but  tyranny and             
slavery1--pampered luxury on the part of
 the few1 and the  most abject poverty  
on the part of the many4 ,there is not  
one family1 he  would show1 in those    
happy circumstances1 below wealth but   
above poverty  and dependence--there is 
not a single industrious contented      
labourer4  ,all here is misery--the most
 degrading1 unrelieved suffering1 and   
unrepented crime1 among the poor2 from  
the rich few1 there is not to  be drawn 
a single gleam of commiseration or      
charity to break the horrid  gloom4     
,were all the plagues of ,egypt busy at 
once on the devoted place1  the village 
could not be so loathsome as it is here 
represented4    ,we are fully prepared  
to admit the existence of evils among   
the  labouring classes of this country1 
but we are sure that the state of       
things represented in this poem has no  

more foundation in truth than  those    
poetical pictures of rural life which   
our author1 justly enough1  pronounces  
to be only poetical4    ,has the        
8,country ,curate0 seen anything of the 
condition of the peasantry  in other    
countries8--,if not1 let him ask those  
who have1 and they will  assure him that
 it is nearly every where inferior to   
that of the  peasantry of ,england4 ,we 
do not say this from any overweening    
national  pride1 or from any desire to  
make the people idly contented with     
their  state as it is1 and indifferent  
to future improvement4 ,no6 we would say
  to the peasantry1 as to every other   
class1 ,keep your eyes ever open to     
your rights2 strive to make what is     
indifferent--good1 what is              
good--better2 and persevere in that     
moral and intellectual improvement      
which can alone render you sensible of  
your rights1 and fit you for  their     
enjoyment6 ,you are not now what you    
were a century or two ago1  because you 

are better informed and more civilized  
than then2 and a  century hence your    
condition will be so much the better1 as
 you will be  more civilized than now4  
,we would rescue the wealthier body from
 the  insane jealousy and hatred which  
the verses of the 8,country ,curate0    
have  a direct tendency to excite       
against them in the breasts of the poor2
 we  would hint at the exertions now    
pretty generally made by that body to   
promote the welfare and instruction of  
the labouring classes1 with which  their
 own welfare is closely linked4 ,but    
still we would not have the  poor depend
 entirely on what the rich may bestow   
upon them1 or assist  them in obtaining4
 ,we would have the peasant or the      
artisan work out his  own mental        
improvement1 and then1 most assuredly1  
will he find his moral  dignity elevated
 and his comforts increased4

,esq4                      ,second      
,edition4 ,longman1 #ahcb4    ,the      
author of this book is a medical        
practitioner at ,leeds2 and the  object 
of his work1 than which there can be    
none more important1 is to  exhibit1 in 
most cases from personal observation1   
the influence of  particular occupations
 on the health of the individuals       
pursuing them  and on the duration of   
their lives4 ,his general impression is1
 that the  employments of large         
manufacturing towns1 such as ,leeds1    
,manchester1  ,birmingham1 and          
,sheffield1 are decidedly unfavourable  
to health and  consequently to          
happiness2 and1 he says1 with regard to 
the town in  which he lives1 8every day 
we see sacrificed to the artificial     
state of  society one1 and sometimes two
 victims1 whom the destinies of nature  
would have spared40 ,doubtless1         

continued and laborious occupation in   
crowded rooms is not favourable to      
health2 but1 on the other hand1 it      
should be considered that these very    
employments1 by increasing the  comforts
 of the great mass of consumers1 have a 
direct tendency to  secure the general  
health of the community2 and that if the
 term  8destinies of nature0 is to be   
taken to apply to man in an uncivilized 
state1 it is perfectly certain that the 
artisan who pursues his calling  under  
the most unfavourable circumstances is  
far better off in his  physical         
condition1 and therefore in his capacity
 for long life1 than  the poor dweller  
in the forests of ,america or the wilds 
of ,africa1 whose  supply of food and   
clothing is wholly dependent upon       
chance1 and who is  entirely without    
medical aid in sickness4 ,it is a       
well-known fact1 that  in this country1 
a century ago1 the average mortality in 
a year was one  in thirty2 it is now    
about one in sixty2 that is1 where one  

person in a  year dies now1 two died a  
century ago1 as compared with the gross 
amount  of the population4 ,when it is  
considered therefore1 how large a number
  of our countrymen are employed in     
manufactures1 it would seem that1 upon  
the whole1 manufacturing employments are
 not so unfavourable to health  as might
 at first be imagined4 ,an attentive    
examination of ,mr4  ,thackrah's book   
will show1 that even in the most        
apparently unwholesome  employments     
there is a wonderful compensation in the
 power of habit2 and  it is beyond all  
doubt that cleanliness1 temperance1 and 
that habitual  cheerfulness which leads 
the spirit to triumph over the most     
adverse  circumstances1 will enable     
those who would appear necessarily the  
most  unfortunate1 to pass through life 
with comparative happiness and  comfort4
 ,still1 it is very important to examine
 what occupations have  the most        
unfavourable influence on health1--not  
with the view of making  those who      

follow them dissatisfied with their     
condition1 but for the  purpose of      
suggesting every preventive and remedial
 measure1 within the  range of human    
knowledge1 to the attention of the      
capitalist1 whose  first duty is to     
provide for the happiness of those      
around him2 and  above all to show the  
working-man himself how much he has it  
in his own  power to mitigate the evils 
which he cannot altogether avoid4 ,in   
this  point of view ,mr4 ,thackrah's    
book deserves the most serious          
consideration of all classes4 ,it is    
most satisfactory to know1 upon ,mr4    
,thackrah's authority1 that 8in many of 
our occupations the injurious  agents   
might be immediately removed or         
diminished40    ,for the convenience of 
his inquiry the writer before us divides
 society  into five great classes1      
viz4--,i4 ,operatives4 ,,ii4 ,dealers4  
,,iii4 ,master  ,manufacturers1 and     
,merchants4 ,,iv4 ,men independent of   
business and  labour4 ,v4 ,professional 

,men4--,the first section of operatives 
he  sub-divides into--#a1 those whose   
employments are chiefly in the open     
air2 #b1 those whose employments are    
carried on in an atmosphere confined    
and impure2 #c1 those whose employments 
produce dust1 odour1 or gaseous         
exhalations2 #d1 those whose employments
 injure or annoy by acting on the  skin2
 #e1 those whose employments expose them
 to wet and steam2 #f1 those  who are   
exposed to a high temperature1 or great 
variations of  temperature4 ,when we    
state that in these six sub-divisions of
 the great  class of operatives1 ,mr4   
,thackrah describes the peculiar effects
 of  about two hundred different        
employments1 it must be evident that we 
cannot attempt even to enumerate the    
occupations whose influence upon  health
 is here noticed4 ,to show1 however1 the
 interesting mode in which  this inquiry
 is for the most part conducted1 we     
subjoin an abridged  extract1           
descriptive of the condition of the     

grinders and machine-makers  of         
,sheffield3--      8,dr4 ,knight1 in the
 ,north-of-,england ,medical ,journal1  
states that the  fork-grinders1 who use 
a dry grindstone1 die at the ages of #bh
 or #cb1  while the table-knife         
grinders1 who work on wet stones1       
survive to  between #dj and #ej4 ,dr4   
,k4's paper very properly alludes to the
  combination of injurious agents and   
circumstances4 ,it is not1 merely the   
pernicious employment1 but the want of  
sieve and ventilation in the  apartments
 where the men now work1--the want1     
moreover1 of that exercise  in the open 
air which they formerly took in going to
 work and returning  from it2 and       
finally1 the intemperance which results 
from their  congregation1 and still more
 from their desperation of life4 ,it    
appears1  that in #ahbb1 #8out of #b1ejj
 grinders1 there were not #ce who had   
arrived  at the age of #ej1 and perhaps 
not double that number who had reached  
the  age of #de2 and out of more than   

#hj fork-grinders1 exclusive of boys1 it
  was reported that there was not a     
single individual #cf years old4' ,the  
symptoms of the grinders' disease are   
those of slow but certainly fatal       
consumption4 ,the remedies judiciously  
recommended by ,dr4 ,knight1 are1  #ast4
 ,dusting the machinery1 before the work
 commences3 #bnd4 ,great  reduction in  
the time of labour3 #crd4 ,use of wet   
stones as much as  possible2 #dth4      
,large flues to be laid on the floor for
 ventilation1 and  currents of air to be
 forced through them by the machines3   
#eth4  ,fork-grinding to be confined to 
criminals4    8,draw-filing cast iron is
 a very injurious occupation4 ,the dust 
is  much more abundant1 and the metallic
 particles much more minute1 than in    
the filing of wrought iron4 ,the        
particles rise so copiously as to       
blacken the mouth and nose4 ,the men    
first feel the annoyance in the         
nostrils4 ,the lining membrane          
discharges copiously for some time1 and 

then becomes preternaturally dry4       
,besides the dust there are some very   
bright scales1 called kisk1 very visible
 though scarcely tangible1  which rise  
from the castings1 as these are taken   
out of the moulders'  boxes1 and        
considerably irritate the air-tube4 ,but
 these scales produce  much less        
frequent annoyance than the particles   
detached by the file1  notwithstanding  
the dust of the employ4 ,respiration is 
not promptly  impeded4 ,of ten men whom 
,i examined with reference to this      
point1 but  one had difficulty of       
breathing as a primary symptom4 ,the    
subsequent  symptoms are determined     
chiefly by intemperance1 and the        
constitutional  disposition to          
consumption4 ,the machine-makers earn   
high wages1 and many  consequently are  
addicted to liquor4 ,in all1 the        
breathing becomes1 in a  few years1 more
 affected by exertion2 but in the       
intemperate it is most  affected2 the   
morning cough is attended with          

retchings1 disorder of the  liver and of
 the other organs of digestion becomes  
established1 and at  length pulmonary   
consumption closes the list of symptoms4
 ,scarcely a  filer can be found in     
health4 ,few bear the employ1 even      
modified as it  is by frequent changes  
of material1 for twenty-five years4     
,only one  instance have ,i been able to
 find of a working filer exceeding the  
age  of fifty4 ,what can be done to     
prevent this lamentable waste of life8  
,magnetic mouth-pieces1 which attract   
the particles of iron inhaled in        
respiration1 and thus greatly diminish  
the quantity which would enter  the     
air-tube1 were many years ago introduced
 in ,sheffield1 and ought ere  this to  
have been more extensively tried4 ,but  
there is a strange apathy  both among   
the men and the masters40      ,if the  
working-classes1 in the ordinary        
acceptation of the term1 have  abundant 
evils in their employments1 those who   
would appear to be placed  under happier

 circumstances are not exempt from those
 corroding cares  and unnatural         
excitements which injure health1 and    
destroy life1 as  speedily as crowded   
rooms and extreme heat or cold4 ,let us 
take ,mr4  ,thackrah's description of   
the class of shopkeepers3--      8,they 
are generally temperate in their diet4  
,they injure health1 not by  direct     
attacks1 not by the introduction of     
injurious agents1 but by  withholding   
the pabulum of life--a due supply of    
that pure fluid1 which  nature designed 
as food for the constitution4 ,be it    
remembered that man  subsists upon the  
air1 more than upon his meat and drink4 
,numerous  instances might be adduced of
 persons existing for months and years  
on a  very scanty supply of aliment1 but
 it is notorious that no one can exist  
for an hour without a copious supply of 
air4 ,the atmosphere which  shopkeepers 
breathe is contaminated and adulterated2
 air1 with its vital  principles so     
diminished1 that it cannot fully        

decarbonize the blood1  nor fully excite
 the nervous system4 ,hence shopkeepers 
are pale1  dyspeptic1 and subject to    
affections of the head4 ,they often drag
 on a  sickly existence1 die before the 
proper end of human life1 and leave a   
progeny like themselves40      ,the     
merchant and manufacturer is probably   
not more fortunate1 though he  may      
appear to have a greater command of     
worldly comforts3--      8,of the causes
 of disease1 anxiety of mind is one of  
the most frequent  and important4 ,when 
we walk the streets of large commercial 
towns1 we  can scarcely fail to remark  
the hurried gait1 and care-worn features
 of  the well-dressed passengers4 ,some 
young men1 indeed1 we may see1 with     
countenances possessing natural         
cheerfulness and colour2 but these      
appearances rarely survive the age of   
manhood4 ,cuvier closes an eloquent     
description of animal existence and     
change1 with the conclusion that  #8life
 is a state of force4' ,what he would   

urge in a physical view1 we  may more   
strongly urge in a moral4 ,civilization 
has changed our  character of mind as   
well as of body4 ,we live in a state of 
unnatural  excitement3--unnatural1      
because it is partial1 irregular1 and   
excessive4  ,our muscles waste for want 
of action2 our nervous system is worn   
out  by excess of action4 ,vital energy 
is drawn from the operations for  which 
nature designed it1 and devoted to      
operations which nature never           
contemplated4 ,if we cannot adopt the   
doctrine of a foreign philosopher1      
#8that a thinking man is a depraved     
animal1' we may without hesitation      
affirm1 #8that inordinate application of
 mind1 the cares1 anxieties1 and        
disappointments of commercial life1     
greatly impair the physical  powers4'0  
,let us see if the idle man of          
independent fortune is placed under more
  favourable circumstances for the      
enjoyment of existence3--      8,a man  
supplied with food and comforts1 without

 labour and care1 has  constantly full  
opportunity of attending to health4 ,but
 man is a social  animal4 ,the ,creator 
has ordained that no individual shall   
live to  himself1 and live in happiness4
 ,a man without an object is like a tree
  without a leading shoot4 ,he has not  
the vigour of his fellows2 his  strength
 is either dissipated in irregular      
pursuits1 or decays from  listlessness4 
,in professions and trades the nervous  
system is often  exhausted by excessive 
application2 here1 as frequently it     
declines from  the want of exertion4    
,need ,i add1 that the vices which      
result from the  want of employment1    
undermine the constitution and shorten  
life40      ,mr4 ,thackrah has stated1  
in many instances1 the modes which he   
conceives  applicable to the mitigation 
or removal of the evils of particular   
employments4 ,it is1 of course1 not     
within our province to follow him in    
these details4 ,but throughout his work 
he notices also those habits  which are 

best calculated to preserve man in      
health in every situation4  ,these best 
remedies1 which are in a great degree   
within the reach of us  all1 may be     
comprised in the words temperance1      
cleanliness1  exercise in the open air1 
and cheerful relaxation4 ,it should be  
the  aim of every working-man to employ 
these remedies for any evils of his     
occupation1 as far as he can himself2 it
 is the duty of every employer1  as much
 as in him lies1 so to regulate his     
periods of labour1 that no  artisan     
shall be unable1 from want of time1 to  
take his evening walk in  the fresh     
fields1 to cultivate his little garden1 
or to afford an hour  to that           
improvement of his mind which will      
invigorate and refresh his  body1 by the
 cheapest and the purest of all         
pleasures4

,constitution  ,hill having been turned 
so as to allow access through the gate  
to those  carriages which have the      
privilege of passing through the park1  
and also  to foot-passengers4 ,a new    
lodge has recently been erected in      
,james  ,street1 opening to the road    
connecting ,pimlico with ,great ,george

,,the ,,liverpool ,,docks4    ,we are   
enabled1 after many experiments1 to     
present our readers with a  plan of the 
,liverpool ,docks1 executed by a new    
process--namely1 by a  union of lines   

cut upon wood1 and of moveable type4    
,the completion of  our wishes1 in this 
respect1 will enable us to illustrate   
any subject of  geography or topography1
 by maps and plans1 executed with more  
precision  than we could have attained  
by any other means4 ,we subjoin to this 
plan  a short account of these          
extraordinary public works1 which the   
growing  commerce of ,liverpool has     
created3--    ,the town of ,liverpool   
was originally a small fishing-village1 
till ,henry  the ,second1 in #aagb1     
first used its port as a station for the
  embarkation of troops to ,ireland4    
,this circumstance1 with the gradually  
increasing commerce consequent on the   
connection ever since maintained        
between the two countries1 and the      
excellence of its port1 doubtlessly     
laid the foundation of its present      
magnitude and prosperity4 ,yet its      
growth for a long period was slow1 and  
even at times seemed to  retrograde4 ,in
 #aega the inhabitants of the 8poor     

decayed town of  ,liverpool0 petitioned 
,queen ,elizabeth to be relieved from a 
subsidy  imposed on them2 and in #afcj1 
while ,bristol was assessed at #a1jjjl4 
for ship-money by ,charles ,i41         
,liverpool was rated at only #bfl4      
,illustration3 ,map of the ,liverpool   
docks1 showing the old docks and        
the planned new docks    ,the first     
great increase which took place in the  
importance of ,liverpool  appears to    
have been shortly after the commencement
 of the war with  ,france in #aggh1 in  
the first year of which one hundred and 
twenty  privateers1 manned by eight     
thousand seven hundred and fifty seamen1
  issued from this port4 ,since that    
period its increase has been constant   
and wonderfully rapid4 ,the population1 
which in #ahja was #gg1fec1 in #ahca    
amounted to #afe1age4 ,in the year      
ending ,june1 #ahcj1 the number of      
vessels1 entered inwards and outwards1  
amounted to #aa1bad1 of which the       
tonnage was #a1daa1ifd1 and the customs 

duties #c1abc1gehl4 #hs4 #aj;d4  ,to    
provide facilities for this immense     
traffic great exertions have been  made1
 and vast expense incurred1 in the      
construction of docks and the  erection 
of warehouses4 ,the plan we have given  
shows their position2 and  the following
 account1 extracted from ,lewis's       
,topographical ,dictionary  of ,england1
 a valuable work recently completed in  
four quarto volumes1  affords such      
information as may render the plan      
perfectly  intelligible3--      ,for the
 security of the shipping in the port1  
and for the greater  facility of loading
 and unloading merchandize1 an immense  
range of docks  and warehouses1         
extending nearly two miles along the    
eastern bank of the  river 7the         
,mersey71 has been constructed on a     
scale of unparalleled  magnificence1 and
 forming one of those characteristics of
 commercial  greatness in which this    
town is unrivalled4 ,the docks are of   
three  kinds1 the wet docks1 the dry    

docks1 and the graving docks2 the wet   
docks are chiefly for ships of great    
burden employed in the foreign  trade1  
and which float in them at all states of
 the tide1 the water  being retained by 
gates2 the dry docks1 so called because 
they are left  dry when the tide is out1
 are chiefly appropriated to coasting   
vessels2  and the graving docks1 which  
admit or exclude the water at pleasure1 
are  adapted to the repair of ships1    
during which they are kept dry1 and when
  completed are floated out by admitting
 the tide4 ,the ,old ,dock1 which was   
the first of the kind constructed in    
,england1 and for making which1 an  act 
of parliament was obtained in #agjh1 is 
not now in use1 its site  having been   
appropriated to the erection of a new   
custom-house1 and  other offices        
connected with the trade of the port4   
,the ,dry ,dock1 which  is about to be  
converted into a wet dock1 was          
constructed under the  authority of an  
act passed in the #aath of ,george      

,,ii41 and is chiefly  occupied by      
sloops from the north coast1 which      
import corn1 provisions1  and slate1 and
 convey back the produce of the ,west   
,indies1 the  ,mediterranean1 ,portugal1
 and ,baltic3 it has a quay five hundred
 yards in  length1 and has communication
 with three graving docks2 it has been  
considerably enlarged1 and many of the  
buildings surrounding it have  been     
taken down with the view of obtaining   
more quay room4 ,the ,salthouse  ,dock1 
so named from some salt-works formerly  
contiguous to it1 was  constructed about
 the same time as the ,dry ,dock2 the   
upper part of it is  chiefly for ships  
that are laid up1 and the lower part for
 vessels in  the ,levant1 ,irish1 and   
coasting trades2 the quay is seven      
hundred and  fifty-nine yards in extent1
 and is provided with convenient        
warehouses1  with arcades for           
foot-passengers on the east side1 and   
extensive sheds  on the west side2      
between this dock and the river are some

  ship-builders' yards1 which the       
corporation intend to convert into docks
  for the craft employed in the inland  
trade4 ,george's ,dock was  constructed 
in the #b;d of ,george ,,iii41 at an    
expense of #ba1jjjl42 it  was originally
 two hundred and forty-six yards in     
length1 and one  hundred yards in       
breadth1 with a quay of seven hundred   
yards in extent2  but it has been       
enlarged1 and the quay is now one       
thousand and one yards  in length3 on   
the east side is a range of extensive   
warehouses1 in front  of which is an    
arcade for foot-passengers3 and on the  
west side are  sheds for protecting the 
merchandize from the weather3 at the    
north and  south ends of the dock are   
handsome cast-iron bridges2 and a parade
 is  continued westward for a           
considerable distance into the river3   
this dock  has a communication with the 
two preceding docks1 and also with the  
,prince's ,dock1 by basins1 which       
preclude the necessity of returning into

  the river4 ,the ,king's ,dock1        
constructed in the #beth of ,george     
,,iii41 is  two hundred and seventy     
yards in length1 and ninety-six in      
breadth1 and  is appropriated to vessels
 from ,virginia and other parts1 laden  
with  tobacco1 which article is         
exclusively landed here3 the new tobacco
  warehouses extend the whole length of 
the quay1 on the west side1 and  are    
five hundred and seventy-five feet in   
length1 and two hundred and  thirty-nine
 in depth2 the old warehouses on the    
opposite side1 which  were appropriated 
to that purpose1 have been converted    
into sheds for  the security of         
merchandize3 ships from the ,baltic1    
freighted with  timber and naval stores1
 discharge their cargoes on the quay2   
across the  entrance is a handsome      
swivel bridge of cast-iron3 this dock   
has a  communication on the south with a
 dry dock and two graving docks4 ,the   
,queen's ,dock1 constructed at the same 
time1 is four hundred and seventy  yards

 long1 and two hundred and twenty-seven 
and a half in breadth1 with  a spacious 
quay1 and is chiefly occupied by vessels
 freighted with  timber1 and by those   
employed in the ,dutch and ,baltic      
trades2 at the  south end it            
communicates with a basin of            
considerable extent1 called  the        
,brunswick ,half-,tide ,dock1 which is  
also connected with the ,brunswick  ,dry
 ,basin4 ,on the south of the half-tide 
dock1 a new dock of larger  dimensions  
than any of the preceding1 for vessels  
laden with timber1 is  in progress1 to  
be called the ,brunswick ,dock1 with a  
basin to the south  of it1 and patent   
slips for the repairing of vessels1     
which will  probably terminate the range
 of docks at the southern extremity4    
,the  ,prince's ,dock1 constructed under
 an act passed in the #east of ,george  
,,iii41 was opened with great pomp on   
the day of the coronation of his  late  
,majesty1 ,george ,,iv42 it is five     
hundred yards in length1 and one        

hundred and six in breadth2 at the north
 end is a spacious basin1  belonging to 
it1 and at the south end it communicates
 with the basin of  ,george's ,dock4    
,the quays are spacious1 and there are  
sheds for the  protection of goods from 
the weather3 along the west side1 near  
the  river1 is a beautiful marine       
parade1 seven hundred and fifty yards   
long1  and eleven wide1 defended by a   
stone parapet wall1 from which is a     
delightful view of the river and the    
shipping2 at convenient intervals  are  
three flights of steps leading down to  
the river1 where boats are in  constant 
attendance4 ,to the north of the basin  
belonging to this dock1  four spacious  
wet docks1 and a large graving dock1    
which latter is to be  fitted up with   
patent slips1 are at present in a state 
of rapid  progress2 and1 when completed1
 will probably terminate the range of   
docks on the north side of the town4    
,the ,duke's ,dock1 between ,salthouse  
and the ,king's ,dock1 is a small dock  

belonging to the trustees of the  late  
,duke of ,bridgewater1 for the use of   
his flats1 with commodious  warehouses4 
,the several carriers by water have also
 convenient basins on  the river1 for   
the use of their barges1 with quays for 
loading and  unloading their goods2 and 
the ,mersey and ,irwell navigation      
company have  a small dock1 called the  
,manchester ,dock1 for the flats        
employed in that  extensive trade1 and  
for the transport to this town of the   
productions  of ,cheshire1 and the      
adjoining counties4 ,the whole range of 
the docks1  when the northern and       
southern additions are completed1 will  
be two  miles and eight hundred and     
twenty yards in length4 ,spacious as    
they are  they are still considered     
inadequate to the increasing commerce of
 the  port1 and measures are in         
contemplation for their further         
extension4 ,the  sums expended in the   
formation of these docks amount to more 
than two  millions sterling2 for        

clearing them from the accumulation of  
silt  brought in by the tide1 a         
dredging-machine1 worked by a           
steam-engine of  ten-horse power1 is in 
constant operation1 by which fifty tons 
per hour  are raised into barges1 and   
deposited where it may be washed away by
 the  current of the river4      ,to    
this we are enabled to add1 from an     
official paper1 the following  table1   
showing the area of water and the

,gilly1 ,m4,a41 ,prebendary of ,durham4 
,rivington1 #ahcb4    ,this is a volume 
which no one can read without           
improvement4 ,it contains  the history  
of a young ,protestant clergyman1 ,felix
 ,neff1 who devoted his  life to the    
duty of preaching the divine word to the
 scattered  inhabitants of the dreary   
regions called 8the ,high ,alps0 of     
,france#a2--;and who1 in the discharge  
of this sacred trust1 felt that he  was 
advancing his principal object while he 
was improving the physical  condition of
 these poor people1 and leading them to 
the acquirement of  general knowledge4  
,the difficulties which this wise and   
pious man  encountered could only have  
been overcome by the most ardent zeal4  
,the  labours which he underwent1 and   
the privations which he sustained1      
ruined his health1 and consigned him    
prematurely to the grave4 ,but his      
career1 though short1 was one of        
permanent usefulness to the             
mountaineers in whose service he        

perished3 and he has left behind him a  
new example of how much one man may     
accomplish for the benefit of his       
fellow-creatures1 who goes forward in a 
good work with singleness of  purpose1  
regardless of any other reward but the  
approbation of his own  conscience4     
,neff was not a man in whom             
book-learning constituted the only      
knowledge4  ,he received a tolerable    
education from the pastor of the village
 near  ,geneva in which he was born2 and
 the contemplative and devout qualities 
of his mind were called forth by the    
grand and beautiful scenery by  which he
 was surrounded in his boyhood4 ,but he 
had a strong love for  what was         
practically useful1 and he therefore    
learnt the trade of a  nursery gardener2
 he had a stronger passion for romantic 
adventure1 and  he entered as a private 
soldier in the service of ,geneva in    
#ahae4 ,at  sixteen1 when he was a      
gardener1 he published a valuable little
 treatise  on the culture of trees2 and1

 within two years after he became a     
soldier  at the age of seventeen1 he was
 promoted to be serjeant of artillery1  
in  consequence of his theoretical and  
practical knowledge of mathematics4     
,his anxious desire1 however1 was to be 
a teacher of religion2 and he at  length
 quitted the army to devote himself to  
the studies which would be  necessary   
previous to his ordination as a         
minister4 ,he first assumed the         
functions of what is called a           
pastor-catechist2 and was ultimately    
called to the vocation for which he was 
so anxious1 by one of those  independent
 congregations of ,england1 whose       
ministers are received in  the          
,protestant churches of ,france4 ,neff  
adopted the resolution to be  ordained  
in ,london1 for the satisfaction of some
 religious scruples4  ,this ceremony    
took place in a chapel in the ,poultry1 
in #ahbc2 and within  six months after  
he was appointed authorized pastor of   
the department of  the ,high ,alps4 ,to 

form an estimate of the labours which   
such an  appointment involved1 it may be
 sufficient to mention that1 in order to
  visit his various flocks1 the pastor  
had to travel1 from his fixed           
residence1 twelve miles in a western    
direction1 sixty in an eastern1  twenty 
in a southern1 and thirty-three in a    
northern2 and that ,neff  steadily      
persevered1 in all seasons1 in passing  
on foot from one  district to another1  
climbing mountains covered with snow1   
forcing a way  through valleys choked up
 by the masses of rocks that were hurled
 down  by the winter's storm1 partaking 
of the coarse fare and imperfect        
shelter of the peasant's hut1 and never 
allowing himself any repose or          
relaxation1 because the ignorance of the
 poor people who were intrusted  to his 
charge was so great1 that nothing but   
incessant activity on his  part could   
surmount its evils4 ,mr4 ,gilly has     
justly observed 7speaking  in his       
character of an ,english clergyman71 8it

 is well that we should  see how hard   
some of our brethren work1 and how hard 
they live2 and that  we should discover1
 to our humiliation1 that it is not     
always where  there is the greatest     
company of preachers that the word takes
 deepest  root40    ,the course of      
,neff's life1 and the affection which he
 inspired1 will be  better understood   
from the following extract3--           
8,when his arrival was expected in      
certain hamlets1 whose rotation to be   
visited was supposed to be coming round1
 it was beautiful to see the  cottages  
send forth their inhabitants1 to watch  
the coming of the  beloved minister4    
#8,come take your dinner with           
us4'--#8,let me prepare your            
supper4'--#8,permit me to give up my bed
 to you1'--were re-echoed from  many a  
voice1 and though there was nothing in  
the repast which denoted a  feast-day1  
yet never was festival observed with    
greater rejoicing than  by those whose  
rye-bread and pottage were shared with  

the pastor ,neff4  ,sometimes1 when the 
old people of one cabin were standing at
 their  doors1 and straining their eyes 
to catch the first view of their #8guide
  to heaven1' the youngsters of another 
were perched on the summit of a  rock1  
and stealing a prospect which would     
afford them an earlier sight  of him1   
and give them the opportunity of        
offering the first invitation4  ,it was 
on these occasions that he obtained a   
perfect knowledge of the  people1       
questioning them about such of their    
domestic concerns as he  might be       
supposed to take an interest in1 as well
 as about their  spiritual condition1   
and finding where he could be useful    
both as a  secular adviser and a        
religious counsellor4 #8,could all their
 children  read8 ,did they understand   
what they read8 ,did they offer up      
morning and  evening prayers8 ,had they 
any wants that he could relieve8 ,any   
doubts  that he could remove8 ,any      
afflictions wherein he could be a       

comforter8'    8,it was thus that he was
 the father of his flock1 and master of 
their  affections and their opinions2   
and when the seniors asked for his      
blessing1 and the children took hold of 
his hands or his knees1 he felt  all the
 fatigue of his long journeys pass away1
 and became recruited  with new         
strength4 ,but for the high and holy    
feelings which sustained  him1 it is    
impossible that he could have borne up  
against his numerous  toils and         
exposures1 even for the few months in   
which he thus put his  constitution to  
the trial4 ,neither rugged paths1 nor   
the inclement  weather of these ,alps1  
which would change suddenly from        
sunshine to  rain1 and from rain to     
sleet1 and from sleet to snow2 nor snow 
deep  under foot1 and obscuring the view
 when dangers lay thick on his road2    
nothing of this sort deterred him from  
setting out1 with his staff in  his     
hand1 and his wallet on his back1 when  
he imagined that his duty  summoned him4

 ,i have been assured by those who have 
received him into  their houses at such 
times1 that he has come in chilly1 wet1 
and  fatigued2 or exhausted by heat1 and
 sudden transitions from excessive  heat
 to piercing cold1 and that after       
sitting down a few minutes his  elastic 
spirits would seem to renovate his      
sinking frame1 and he would  enter into 
discourse with all the mental vigour of 
one who was neither  weary nor languid4 
8,when he was not resident at the       
presbytery1 he was the guest of some    
peasant1 who found him willing to live  
as he lived1 and to make a scanty  meal 
of soup-maigre1 often without salt or   
bread1 and to retire to rest  in the    
same apartment1 where a numerous family 
were crowded together1  amidst all the  
inconveniences of a dirty and smoky     
hovel40      ,we have already stated    
that the benevolent pastor of the ,high 
,alps was  intent upon improving the    
condition of his people as to physical  
comfort1 at the same time that he       

proclaimed to them the hopes and        
consolations of religion4 ,let us see   
how he set about this work3--      8,his
 first attempt was to impart an idea of 
domestic convenience4  ,chimneys and    
windows to their hovels were luxuries to
 which few of them  had aspired1 till he
 showed them how easy it was to make a  
passage for  the smoke1 and admittance  
for the light and air4 ,he next         
convinced them  that warmth might be    
obtained more healthily than by pigging 
together  for six or seven months in    
stables1 from which the muck of the     
cattle  was removed but once during the 
year4 ,for their coarse and unwholesome 
food1 he had1 indeed1 no substitute1    
because the sterility of the soil  would
 produce no other2 but he pointed out a 
mode of tillage1 by which  they         
increased the quantity3 and in cases of 
illness1 where they had no  conception  
of applying the simplest remedies1 he   
pointed out the comfort  which a sick   
person may derive from light and warm   

soups and other  soothing assistance4   
,so ignorant were they of what was      
hurtful or  beneficial in acute         
disorders1 that wine and brandy were no 
unusual  prescriptions in the height of 
a raging fever4 ,strange enough1 and    
still  more characteristic of savage    
life1 the women1 till ,neff taught the  
men  better manners1 were treated with  
so much disregard1 that they never sat  
at table with their husbands or         
brothers1 but stood behind them1 and    
received morsels from their hands with  
obeisance and profound  reverence40     
,he taught the people of the valleys how
 to irrigate their lands1 so as  to     
increase the crop of grass1 which is    
exceedingly small4 ,he found the  utmost
 difficulty in explaining to his hearers
 that the water might be  made to rise  
and fall1 and might be dammed up and    
distributed  accordingly as it might be 
required for use4 ,the labour and       
expense  appeared to them insuperable   
difficulties4 ,in spite of their        

prejudices  he accomplished his object1 
working with the people as a common     
labourer1 and applying his knowledge as 
an engineer for their exclusive         
advantage4 ,by thus teaching them how to
 double their crops he saved them  from 
some of their most severe privations4   
,he taught them also how to  cultivate  
the potato with advantage4 ,but he did  
more even than this4 ,he  incited the   
people to build a schoolhouse in one of 
the districts where  knowledge was most 
wanted3 and that proper teachers might  
be spread  throughout these regions so  
shut out from the ordinary means of     
education1 he persuaded a number of     
young persons to assemble together1  one
 or two from each community1 during the 
most dreary of the winter  months1 when 
they could not labour in the fields1 and
 during that time  to work hard with him
 in the attainment of that knowledge    
which they  were afterwards to spread   
amongst their uninstructed friends and  
neighbours4 ,the perseverance of these  

young people was worthy of their        
zealous pastor4 ,to accomplish this good
 work perfectly he obtained the         
assistance of a studious young friend1  
who was preparing himself for a  great  
public school4 ,neff's own account of   
his progress as a  schoolmaster is so   
interesting that we are sure our readers
 will not  complain of its length3--    
8,the short space of time which we had  
before us1 rendered every moment        
precious4 ,we divided the day into three
 parts4 ,the first was from  sunrise to 
eleven o'clock1 when we breakfasted4    
,the second from noon to  sunset1 when  
we supped4 ,the third from supper till  
ten or eleven o'clock  at night1 making 
in all fourteen or fifteen hours of     
study in the  twenty-four4 ,we devoted  
much of this time to lessons in reading1
 which  the wretched manner in which    
they had been taught1 their detestable  
accent1 and strange tone of voice1      
rendered a most necessary1 but  tiresome
 duty4 ,the grammar1 too1 of which not  

one of them had the least  idea1        
occupied much of our time4 ,people who  
have been brought up in  towns can have 
no conception of the difficulty which   
mountaineers and  rustics1 whose ideas  
are confined to those objects only to   
which they  have been familiarized1 find
 in learning this branch of science4    
,there  is scarcely any way of conveying
 the meaning of it to them4 ,all the    
usual terms and definitions1 and the    
means which are commonly employed  in   
schools1 are utterly unintelligible     
here4 ,but the curious and novel        
devices which must be employed have this
 advantage1--that they exercise  their  
understanding1 and help to form their   
judgment4 ,dictation was one  of the    
methods to which ,i had recourse3       
without it they would have made  no     
progress in grammar and orthography2 but
 they wrote so miserably1 and  slowly1  
that this consumed a great portion of   
valuable time4 ,observing  that they    
were ignorant of the signification of a 

great number of ,french  words1 of      
constant use and recurrence1 ,i made a  
selection from the  vocabulary1 and ,i  
set them to write down in little        
copy-books words  which were in most    
frequent use2 but the explanations      
contained in the  dictionary were not   
enough1 and ,i was obliged to rack my   
brain for new  and brief definitions    
which they could understand1 and to make
 them  transcribe these4 ,arithmetic was
 another branch of knowledge which      
required many a weary hour4 ,geography  
was considered a matter of  recreation  
after dinner2 and they pored over the   
maps with a feeling of  delight and     
amusement1 which was quite new to them4 
,i also busied myself  in giving them   
some notions of the sphere1 and of the  
form and motion of  the earth2 of the   
seasons and the climates1 and of the    
heavenly bodies4  ,everything of this   
sort was as perfectly novel to them1 as 
it would have  been to the islanders of 
,otaheite2 and even the elementary      

books1 which  are usually put into the  
hands of children1 were at first as     
unintelligible as the most abstruse     
treatises on mathematics4 ,i was        
consequently forced to use the simplest 
and plainest modes of  demonstration2   
but these amused and instructed them at 
the same time4 ,a  ball made of the     
box-tree1 with a hole through it1 and   
moving on an  axle1 and on which ,i had 
traced the principal circles2 some large
  potatoes hollowed out2 a candle1 and  
sometimes the skulls of my  scholars1   
served for the instruments by which ,i  
illustrated the  movements of the       
heavenly bodies1 and of the earth       
itself4 ,proceeding  from one step to   
another1 ,i pointed out the situation of
 different  countries on the chart of   
the world1 and in separate maps1 and    
took  pains to give some slight idea1 as
 we went on1 of the characteristics1    
religion1 customs1 and history of each  
nation4 ,these details fixed  topics of 
moment in their recollection4 ,up to    

this time ,i had been  astonished by the
 little interest they took1             
,christian-minded as they  were1 in the 
subject of ,christian missions2 but1    
when they began to have  some idea of   
geography1 ,i discovered that their     
former ignorance of this  science1 and  
of the very existence of many foreign   
nations in distant  quarters of the     
globe1 was the cause of such            
indifference4 ,but as soon  as they     
began to learn who the people are who   
require to have the ,gospel  preached to
 them1 and in what part of the globe    
they dwell1 they felt  the same concern 
for the circulation of the ,gospel that 
other ,christians  entertained4 ,these  
new acquirements1 in fact1 enlarged     
their spirit1  made new creatures of    
them1 and seemed to triple their very   
existence4    8,in the end1 ,i advanced 
so far as to give some lectures in      
geometry1 and  this too produced a happy
 moral development4    8,lessons in     
music formed part of our evening        

employment1 and those  being1 like      
geography1 a sort of amusement1 they    
were regularly  succeeded by grave and  
edifying reading1 and by such           
reflections as ,i  took care to suggest 
for their improvement40      ,the       
unremitting labours of ,neff destroyed  
his health1 and he was at  length       
obliged to quit the inclement district  
in which he had  accomplished so much   
good4 ,he lingered for some time in a   
state of great  debility1 and died at   
,geneva on the #abth ,april1 #ahbi4     
,we cannot better conclude this brief   
and imperfect notice of a truly         
valuable and delightful book1 than by   
the following observations of its       
author on the character of the admirable
 individual whose noble labours  he has 
recommended to the imitation1 not only  
of every ,christian  minister1 but of   
every one1 however humble1 who feels a  
desire to  advance his own real         
happiness and that of his               
fellow-creatures3--      8,it was his   

anxiety to build up the ,christian on a 
foundation where self  dependence1      
vain-glory1 and imaginary merit were to 
have no place  whatever2 and yet every  
act of his ministry proved that he set a
 just  value on knowledge and           
attainments4 ,it was his labour of love 
to show1  that whenever any addition is 
made to our stock of knowledge1 we not  
only gain something in the way of       
enjoyment1 but are laying up a store    
for the improvement of our moral and    
religious feelings1 and of our  general 
habits of industry4 ,the spiritual      
advancement of his flock was  the great 
end and object of all his toils2 but no 
man ever took a warmer  interest in the 
temporal comforts of those about him1   
and this he  evinced by instructing them
 in the management of their fields and  
gardens1 in the construction of their   
cottages1 and in employing all his  own 
acquirements in philosophy and science  
for the amelioration of their           
condition4444 ,he so condescended to    

things of low estate1 as to become a    
teacher of a1 b1 c1 not only to ignorant
 infancy1 but to the dull and  unpliant 
capacities of adults4 ,beginning with   
the most tiresome  rudiments1 he        
proceeded upwards1 leading on his       
scholars methodically1  kindly1 and     
patiently1 until he had made them       
proficients in reading1  writing1 and   
arithmetic1 and could lead them into the
 pleasanter paths  of music1 geography1 
history1 and astronomy4 ,his mind was   
too enlarged  to fear that he should be 
teaching his peasant boys too much4 ,it 
was his  aim to show what a variety of  
enjoyments may be extracted out of      
knowledge1 and that even the shepherd   
and the goatherd of the  mountain-side  
will be all the happier and the better  
for every piece of  solid information   
that he can acquire40      -----
