Cot/on Trade.—In the house of lord?, 14th of June, lord Kenyon moved the se¬ cond reading of the bill for regulating thp hour? of labor of children in cotton fac¬ tories. If the present were a question merely of morbid sensibility, he should be far from addressing their lordships in favor of the bill, but he felt that it was one of practical humanity, which requi¬ red the interference of the legislature. Neither should he have proposed such a measure, had he conceived the common law sufficient to counteract the evils of the present system. In consequence of (he objections which had on former oc¬ casions been urged against the agitation of this question, he thought it necessary to state, that he had the authority of se¬ veral magistrates and clergymen residing in Manchester, Stockport, and their vi¬ cinities, to assert, that the recent distur¬ bances in the manufacturing districts had no connection whatever with the discus¬ sion of this topic in parliament. During the progress of this measure, various o- pinions were stated respecting the degree of distress which children suffered In the factories, and the evidence on this point on the part of the bill still remained un¬ contradicted.—It could not be denied that the hours of work were not fewer than I i, 15, and even, in some places, than 15 hours out of the 24; neither could it be contradicted that the heat of the factories was so high as 85, 87, and even 90 degrees. Attempts had been made to shew, on the authority of medi¬ cal men, that thecmployment ofchildrcn in these factories was not injurious to their health, and some learned gentlemen of Manchester had indeed given evidence to that effect. He did not mean to im¬ pute any thing Improper to those gen- tlemeu, who, no doubt, gave their evi- Jdence under a convict/on of its truth ; but they had been called in bv the master manufacturers of Manchester, and the factories were shewn to them at a time, and under circumstances very favorable to their own views and wishes, and the medical gentlemen were induced thereby to give opinions flattering to the general state of the factories.—The present mea¬ sure had been objected to by some noble lords, as if it would prove injurious to the cotton trade of the country; but if we could believe the accuracy of this representation, he should not have pray¬ ed their lordships to give it their sanc¬ tion. It appeared by the evidence taken before the committee that not less than 5^1-1,000,000 of property was suuk in the cotton manufactory, and it was stated by some of the witnesses that ^27,000,000 were annually expended in this biauch of our trade. It was stated that 60,000 persons were engaged in this trade—and by some it was asserted, that the labour¬ er* employed in it were not fewer than 120;000. The average rate of wagci to
