Galloway and Son This drawing represents the locomotive engine “ Manchester,” which was the first engine constructed in this City. It was made by Messrs. Galloway and Bowman, for running on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway after its opening in September, 1830, the engine being put on the line in October, 1831, followed shortly afterwards by a similar engine called the “ Caledonian,” and others by the same firm, the cylinders being i4in. diameter (the steam pressure in the boilers was not allowed to exceed 6olbs. per square inch), by 24in. stroke. The cylinders, in the case of the two first engines, were “ vertical,” as at this time there was much doubt as to the durability of the horizontal system of engine. The boilers were of the ordinary locomotive type, with the addition of an arrangement for the flame returning to the chimney by an outer casing in the lower part of the boiler. The weight of the engine was not allowed to exceed ii to 12 tons, the rails at that time being only 34lbs. to the yard. The driving wheels were 5ft. diameter, made of timber, hooped with the usual wrought iron tyres. It will be understood that in those days there was no arrangement of link motion, but reversing was effected by a clutch-box between the eccentrics. 178 Portrait of George Stephenson; and 13 Drawings connected with the opening of the original Manchester and Liverpool Railway.

He was 34 ROOM No. 3. Subject, Owner. fortunate in having the able help of James Brindley and others, but he was a man who meant to succeed. So determined was he, that to meet the heavy strain on his finances he limited his expenditure to ^400 a year. He died on the 8th of March, 1803.

Procter’s “ Memorials of Manchester Streets.” It was painted by Alexander Wilson, who not only drew with some ability, but was a noted song writer. Mr. Harland thus describes the picture : “ Amongst the persons whose por¬ traits may be recognised in it are the Rev. Joshua Brooks, Mr. John Ogden, grocer. Long Millgate, and the artist himself. The Rush-cart is represented as standing opposite the Manchester Arms Inn, Long Mill- gate ; while the Morris-dancers are performing their saltatory feats, pick¬ pockets are busy, women are fighting, pigs running and throwing the unwary down, and other hideous scenes of street fun and mischief.” 36 ROOM No. 3.

Kellas Johnstone This IS a large painting in oil showing the race on Kersal Moor, people, grand stand, and surrounding landscape. The races at Kersal are of some antiquity, dating back as far as 1687, when appeared a notice in the London “ Gazette ” of a meeting on the moor. At the end of the last century and the beginning of this, “ The Race Week ” was the annual holiday. The theatre was open, and great stars from London shone on the Manchester boards. In the morning it was customary for the noblemen and gentlemen to meet and fight a main of cocks at the cock pit, sending round the hat afterwards, it is said, to raise money to add to the race fund for which in the afternoon the horses contested on “ Karsy Moor.” So far back as 1730 Dr. John Byrom wrote a pamphlet against the race meeting, but though he and his friends succeeded in stopping the meetings for a few years, they have been held nearly consecutively for 120 years. If they objected to the free and open course on the breezy down, what would they say to the modern gate-money meeting and its surroundings ? 213 Woodcut— No. 9 published in British Volunteer. .

Albert Nicholson When, in the autumn of 1715, the news of the advance of the rebel Lords into England reached London, General Wills was at Chester with a small force. Acting under the instructions of the Duke of Marlborough not to give the rebels time, Wills pushed on to Manchester, where he found it necessary not only to seize some suspected persons, but also to leave a regiment of dragoons. With the aid of Sir Henry Houghton, who was out in command of the Royal Militia, he got together a body of able recruits from amongst the Presbyterians, with their pastors as leaders. At the head of these forces he arrived before Preston on November 12th. Marlborough, with a wonderful foresight, had indicated this place as the point where the enemy would arrive next, and obeying his instructions. Wills at once invested the town and made several unsuccessful attempts to carry it by storm. Within there were, besides the gentlemen soldiers and foxhunting squires, a body of Highlanders under Brigadier Macintosh, and that officer easily held his own against the dismounted dragoons, for Wills was almost without infantry. Luckily General Carpenter arrived next morning with 2,500 horse. He saw the mistake which Wills had made in only partially surrounding the town. This he promptly put right, and Forster, seeing they were in some danger, without consulting his friends entered into negociations which eventually led to the surrender of the little army—now only 1,550 men—at discretion. As far as can now be gathered, there fell m this fight some eighteen or nineteen on the rebel side, and probably about three hundred of the King’s men were either killed or wounded. So ended the last meeting of hostile armies on English soil. 425 Colonel Henry Oxburgh and James, Earl of Derwent WATER— Engravings. Albert Nicholson The gallant Colonel Oxburgh was a Roman Catholic officer of good family, who was taken prisoner at Preston.

Owner. making all arrangements for the rising which took place. It is curious that his life was not spared on account of his honourable conduct of the negocia- tions for the surrender of the town, and his general character. His ill fortune was caused, there is little doubt, by the escape of so many of his fellow-prisoners and the necessity the Government felt of making an example of someone. 426 Portrait of James Stuart, “The Old Pretender”— N. Edelinck, after David. Harry Thornher 427 Portrait of Philip Lockhart— R. Grave, Sculp. Albert Nicholson Captain Philip Lockhart, brother of Lockhart of Carnwath, was one of the four officers executed at Preston by order of the court-martial on a charge of desertion and having taken up arms against King George. He had served in Lord Mark Kerr’s regiment. He denied that he was guilty of desertion, since he had no commission from, nor trust under, the present Government, the regiment to which he belonged having been broken up several years ago m Spain. Yet he was condemned to be shot. A few days’ reprieve was granted, but on December 2nd the sentence was carried out. 428 Portrait of the Princess Clementina Sobieski — Engraved by P. Drevet, after David.... Harry Thornbcr The Princess Clementina Maria, daughter of Prince James Sobieski and grandaughter of John Sobieski, the heroic king of Poland, who in 1702 defeated the Turks before the walls of Vienna, was married to Prince James Edward Stuart, son of King James II., under the romantic circum¬ stances related in a subsequent note. May 28th, 1719. She bore him two sons, Charles Edward Lewis Casimir, born December 31st, 1720, and Henry Benedict, born 1725, afterwards known by the title of the Duke of York or Cardinal de York. 429 Three Portraits : William, Viscount Kenmure ; Richard Gascoigne; and John Bruce. Albert Nicholson Viscount Kenmure, at the instigation of the Earl of Mar, had joined the rebel forces, and been appointed by him to an important command. On the surrender of Preston he was carried prisoner to London, tried, condemned, and executed on Tower Hill, February 24th, 1716. Richard Gascoigne, taken at Preston, was a Catholic gentleman of good family, whose ancestors had served on the Royalist side during the troubled times. He found no mercy, and was executed at Tyburn in the usual horrible manner. Captain John Bruce, also taken at Preston, a Scottish Episcopalian, suffered at Lancaster October 2nd, 1716. 70 ROOM No. 5.

Belle .,.Thornber This Prince, the only son of James II. by his second wife, Mary of Modena, was born at St. James’s Palace on the loth of June, 1688. A few months later his father abdicated, and the Chevalier St. George, or, as his enemies called him, the Pretender, was brought up in France. He was a man, as some say, of an amiable mediocrity of character that in a humbler sphere of life might have made him a good citizen, but, subject as he was to the temptations and petty intrigues of a Court, he developed much of his father’s weakness and want of resolutioa On the death of James II., September i6th, 1701, the Prince was proclaimed King of England. In 1707 he made an ineffectual attempt, at the head of a French force, to land in Scotland, and in 1715, when his followers had actually held that country for him, under the Earl of Mar, for many months, he did land at Peterhead, December 22nd, but he was too late. In England his adherents had been defeated at Preston, and Mar was contemplating retreat before the Duke of Argyll, and on the 4th of Feb., 1716, the Prince took ship from Scotland, and, accompanied by some of his principal followers, escaped to France. Until his death, which took place in Rome on the 12th of January, 1766, he was ever the centre of conspiracy to recover that Kingdom of his ancestors over which he had seen no less than six Sovereigns reign, but for some time the more active prosecution of his claims had been delegated to his son. Prince Charles Edward, and the last years of his life were passed in strict retirement. 433 John Ker, of Kersland ; George Collingwood, Executed AT Liverpool, February 25TH, 1715-16 —R.

In 1716 he published an account of his secret transactions, which do not seem to have yielded him either credit or profit as he died in the King’s Bench Prison, where he was confined for debt, July 8th, 1726.

George on his accession repelled Mar’s offer of adhesion, on which he took the part of the exiled Stuart. Gathering his friends together he persuaded them to proclaim James III, and for a time, chiefly with the help of the Highlanders class, held Scotland, But he was no soldier, and he was out-generaled, and eventually obliged to leave the country. Sailing with his Royal Master from Scotland, he reached France in safety, and spent the remainder of his life an exile. 437 William Paul —Engraved by R. Grave; John Hall — Etched by George Cruikshank. Albert Nicholson The Rev, William Paul, a Clergyman of the Church of England, joined the Rebels at Lancaster, but by good luck had been sent forward from Preston on a mission and so escaped being made a prisoner. Instead of taking advantage of his liberty, he seems to have courted arrest, as he was seen in London and promptly taken and put on his trial. He was a weak vain man, but after trying every shift to get a pardon he met death with great courage. John Hall, of Otterbourn, or, as he was more usually called, Mr. Justice Hall, or “Mad Jack Hall,” from his quarrel¬ some temper, added little to the strength of the cause he espoused. His trial will be found amongst the Broadsides exhibited, though under the name of Thomas Hall. He was condemned, and being specially exempted from the general reprieve, as was Parson Paul, suffered the extreme penalty of the law. 438 Portrait of James, Earl of Derwentwater —Engraved by George Vertue. Harry Thornber James Radcliffe, third and last Earl of Derwentwater, was son of Mary Tudor, natural daughter of Charles II., by the lovely and accomplished actress Mary Davis. It was his misfortune that by the ties of religion, acquaintance, and this near relationship to the exiled Royal family, he was drawn into rebellion, and there is little doubt that a fear lest his per¬ sonal attachment to the Stuarts would again inevitably lead him to espouse their cause, together with the danger the Government feared from his vast wealth and territorial influence, made him a special object of punishment. This was carried even beyond justice in the case of his relations. More than one Act of Parliament was passed in order that the family fortune might be reduced. 72 ROOM No 5 . Subject.

He was mainly instrumental in defeating and crushing the rebellion in Scotland in 1715 ; for which great service a tardy recognition was given in 1719 by his being created Duke of Greenwich. Charles Ratcliffe was, with his brother, the Earl of Derwentwater, taken prisoner at Preston, but was one of the party who knocked down the warders, seized the guard and escaped from Newgate the day before his trial was to come on. He safely reached the Continent where he remained till 1745, when he sailed in a small French vessel to join the young Chevalier in Scotland, was taken by an English cruiser, carried to London, and eventually, after languishing a year in prison, executed on his former sentence. ROOM No. 5 . 73 Subject. Owner. 445 Portrait of Dr. Deacon (Oil). Robert Wood Dr. Thomas Deacon will be principally remembered for his life-long devotion to the cause of the exiled House of Stuart. As a young man he prepared the dying speeches of two of the Rebels of 1715, who met their fate in London, but he was long resident in Manchester, where the practised as a Physician and founded a sect called “ The True British Catholic Church,” of which he was the Bishop. Non-juring High Church Toryism had no more able or constant champion, and to his influence must be in great measure ascribed the strength of the Jacobite party in Manchester in 1745. Three of his sons joined the “Manchester Regiment,” and the head of the eldest, Thomas T. Deacon, was sent along with that of Thomas Syddall to be fixed upon spikes and placed on the top of the Exchange. Dr. Deacon died February i6th, 1753, and lies buried beneath a tomb near the north-east corner of St. Ann’s Church¬ yard. 446 James, Earl of Derwentwater ; Chair belonging to Lady Derwentwater— Woodcut by Langton, and Lithograph.

He was an active partizan of the Chevalier St. George, and was the principal agent in a plot to seize the Tower and City of London, but on the eve of the attempt, September 23rd, 1723, was arrested, and, after many delays, tried, condemned, and executed at Tyburn. 448 Funeral Procession of James III. — J.

Harry Thornber There was at the time of the birth of Prince James, “ The Chevalier St. George,” a report spread by the enemies of the Court that the King designed to impose a surreptitious offspring on his Protestant subjects. This proclamation was issued with a view of meeting these slanders, which nevertheless seem to have been believed and treated as true by some of the most learned, conscientious, and able men of those times. 74 ROOM No. 5 .

It may be regarded, therefore, as having claim to historical accuracy. The painting was formerly in the collection of the late Mr. Greaves, of Irlam Hall. Its previous owners are not recorded, but there is a tradition that about seventy years ago it hung in the Half-way House Inn, Longsight. The persons represented as advancing to meet the Rebels are supposed to be Dr. Deacon, the Rev, John Clayton, and other well-known Jacobites. 454 aThe Beheading of the Rebel Lords on Great Tower Hill — Engraving published by R.

Appearing on the scene in Highland costume he made, say the contemporary writers, “ a gallant appearance.” 456 Thomas Syddall, Barber, Executed 30TH July, 1746 The Salford Corporation Thomas Syddall, a Manchester barber, was the son of Thomas Syddall, the blacksmith, who had acted as Captain of the Jacobite mob which destroyed Red Cross Street Chapel in 1715, for which he was tried and condemned to the pillory and a term of imprisonment. Syddall, the father, had not been long in Lancaster Castle, when the Rebel Army passed through the town. He was released, entered their ranks, was taken prisoner at Preston, and was executed at Manchester. Young Syddall was a disciple of Dr. Deacon and an ardent Jacobite. When Prince Charles and his followers arrived in Manchester he at once enlisted, was appointed ensign in the Manchester Regiment, and afterward raised to the rank of Adjutant. He, like the other officers of the Regiment taken in Carlisle, was tried in London, and not being amongst those reprieved, was executed on Kennington Common, July 30th, 1746. 457 March to Finchley— By Wm.

Albert Nicholson William Boyd, Earl of Kilmarnock, came of a Whig family which had long been distinguished for its attachment to the House of Brunswick. It is said that the hope of mending his impoverished estate induced him to take up arms for Prince Charles. He fought with great bravery at the battle of Culloden, after which he surrendered, and though his son. Lord Boyd, was actually present as an ensign in a royal regiment opposed to him, and though he, from the moment of his surrender to his execution, acknowledged his error and expressed his real devotion to the house of Hanover, he had no mercy shown him. It is said that a statement made by the Duke of Cumberland, that an order was issued in the rebel army at Culloden to give no quarter, hardened the heart of the King and sealed his fate. Cumberland knew, or ought to have known, that this was false. With unaffected dignity the young Earl met his death. He was remark¬ able for his handsome face and graceful person, and as being the only victim of these troubles who never professed any desire for the success of the Stuarts or their cause. 464 A Printed Letter Signed Timothy Highflyer, 1790 A Ibert Nicholson This is one of a very large number of letters published in the long controversy between the Whig party and their enemies, the High Church Tories.

On the death of his elder brother, he succeeded to the family estates, and afterwards spent most of his time in Manchester, or at his house, Kersall Cell. He wrote some poetry of considerable popularity in his time, and one piece, his carol—“Christians, Awake!”—seems destined to perpetuate his fame. He exercised great influence for many years on the social and political life of the town and district, and, though an ardent Jacobite, fortunately escaped conviction of actual complicity in the rebellion in 1745. He died Sept. 26th, 1763. 470 Lovat’s Ghost on Pilgrimage— Wm. Hogarth, Pinx. ; S. Ireland, Sculp. Harry Thornber 471 Portrait of Col. Gardiner— Engraved by J.

Harry Thornber Arthur Elphinstone, Lord Balmerino, was born in 1688 ; was in the ranks of the “ Old Pretender ” in 1715 ; escaped to France; served with distinction in the French service; was pardoned through the intercession of his father in 1734; but when the “ Young Chevalier” landed, he at once 78 ROOM No. 5. Subject. Owner. joined him, and, though an old man, by his ability, military skill and great personal courage, contributed in no small degree to the successes of the campaign. Taken prisoner after Culloden, he was brought to trial with the other rebel Lords, and being condemned was executed on the same day as Lord Kilmarnock. His bold and undaunted bearing from the day of his capture till he stepped on to the scaffold commanded the respect of his enemies. So died “ Brave Balmerino.” George MacKenzie, Earl of Cromartie, was one of the first to join the standard of Prince Charles Edward at the head of 400 of his clansmen, whose hardships and triumphs alike he shared, leading them in battle with marvellous gallantry. He was taken prisoner the day before the battle of Culloden, sent to London, tried and condemned to death. The earnest entreaties of his beautiful Countess addressed to the King and the Prince of Wales, together with the good offices of many of the Scottish nobility, procured his reprieve and at length a pardon. 474 William, Duke of Cumberland — Mezzotint by T. Burford, 1747, after Murray. Harry Thornber There are few characters in history about which there is so wide a difference of opinion as about that of the Duke of Cumberland. To the Hanoverian partisans he was the able, brave, and generous soldier, who in the hour of need had saved his country by the victory at Culloden ; to the Jacobites he was the impersonation of all that was vile and mean; they nick-named him “ the Butcher”—“ Butcher Bill”—a soubriquet which no doubt his personal appearance tended to perpetuate. The truth probably lies between the two. That he was a man of courage and a good officer there is no doubt, and his private character will bear comparison with any of the princes of his time, on either side of the water—but that does not say much. 475 Prince Charles Edward —Engraving by Robert Strange Harry Thornber 476 Portrait of Flora Macdonald— Mezzotint by J. Markluin Harry Thornber As long as the tale of “ the ’45 ” continues to be told the name of Flora Macdonald will be, as Dr. Johnson said, “ if courage and fidelity are virtues,” mentioned with honour. She and her relations were no friends of the Stuarts, but when in his dire distress it fell to her lot to be able to succour and save the hunted Prince, with a devotion and fearless courage she accomplished her object—serving her country’s best interests, as we now think, in saving it the disgrace of a further tragedy. She was arrested and sent to London, but after a short imprisonment in the Tower released on parole, and eventually pardoned in 1747. She became the wife of Allen Macdonald, and after a long and eventful life in America died at her Highland home at Kingsburgh, March 5 th, 1790. ROOM No. 5 . 79 Subject.

Harry Thornber Prince Charles Edward Stuart, commonly called “ The Young Pre¬ tender ” or “ The Young Chevalier,” was elder son of Prince James Stuart, only son of James II. He was born at Rome, December 20th, 1720, and early trained in the school of arms under the great Duke of Berwick. Aided by the French he landed with a few followers in Scotland on the 18th of July, 1745, and after many successes and as many terrible reverses—being hunted like a wild beast for months—he sailed from the country he fondly called his own, to die long years after in exile. What¬ ever he may have become in after life, at the time of his brilliant campaign in 1745 he was brave, considerate, and generous to a fault—had, in fact, all the great qualities of his grandfother, the valiant King of Poland, and little but the name of a Stuart. He died at Rome, January 30th, 1788. 482 William, Duke of Cumberland— J. Wootton, Pinx. ; B. Baron, Sculp.

This is one of the numerous medals issued from time to time by the Stuart partisans to keep their cause alive in the minds of their friends. The inscription on reverse may refer to the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle by which the King of France acknowledged the right of George II. to the British throne, and pledged himself not to permit any member of the Stuart family to reside within his territory. Charles was, in fact, com¬ pelled by force to leave the country. Prince Charles, 1750. Walter /. Andrew Bust of Prince Charles, r., hair short, curly behind, no drapery. Rev.

Louisa, Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland, 1772. Copper medal of great merit, not common. This medal is apparently issued on the occasion of the marriage of Prince Charles with Louisa, Princess of Stollberg Gedera. He had taken the title of King on the death of Prince James, his father, in 1766, and his young bride assumes the Queenly title on her marriage with him. The marriage was not a happy one, and in a few years the young wife withdrew to a convent, afterwards taking refuge at Rome with her brother-in-law, Henry the Cardinal. Prince Charles contrived to live at Florence were he died in 1788. Prince Henry, 1774 . W. S.

This is a token in white metal, probably a presence token issued by the Cardinal as one of the ruling Prelates during the vacancy in the Papal See in 1774. After the calamities of 1746 in Scotland, Prince Henry entered the Church, was soon made Cardinal and had the Bishopric of Frescati conferred upon him. On the death of his brother in 1788, he caused a medal to be struck with inscription to the effect—Henry IX., King of England, by the grace of God, not by the will of men. In later years he had to flee from Rome, but George III. hearing of his situation ordered a pension to be settled upon him. He died at Rome in 1807. ROOM No. 5—CASE No. 3.

On one of these days the glass in .front of the miniature cracked in a line across the throat. This was taken as a premonition. Thomas Chadwick was a Lieutenant in the Manchester Regiment, and was brought up to the trade of a tallow chandler, but is said not to have followed it. He seems to have been of a merry and active disposition, and on many occasions revived the spirits of his brother officers, both on campaign and during their long im¬ prisonment.
