This flourishing place is in the parish of Prescot, under which it has a chapel of ease; patron, the vicar of Prescot. Here are also a dissenting chapel, and a Quakers' meeting house, in a part of the town called Hardshaw, the name by which the place was formerly known, but the titulary saint of the chapel of ease, soon after it was built, gave it a new name, and that of Hardshaw is now nearly forgotten. St. Hellens has risen, during the present reign, from a small inconsiderable village, to a large well built populous town

SALFORD, (N. lat. 53º. 25". W. lon. 2º. 10".) is situated on the N.W. bank of the river Irwel, forming a part of the apparent town of Manchester, tho' a distinct township, and governed by its own officers. It is united to Manchester by three stone, and one wooden bridge, and to the township of Broughton by a newly erected stone bridge. If Salford was insulated it would be deemed a large town; but situated as it is, it only serves to swell the magnitude of Manchester, of which with Hulme, Ardwick, and Chorlton Row, it seems by the close junction of the buildings to be a part. Salford contains two churches of the establishment; the first of which is Trinity Chapel, a handsome stone building, with a tower steeple, in which are six musical bells. This edifice is built on the foundation of another church founded in 1635, which being built of an admixture of stone, timber, and mud, soon fell into decay. The living is a perpetual curacy; patron, Sir Robert Gore, Bt. The other church is a handsome brick one, with a brick tower, dedicated to St. Stephen, and consecrated July 23. 1794. The presentation to this curacy is in the family of the founder, the Rev. N.M. Cheek, for 60 years from the date of the consecration deeds, after which it is vested in the Warden and Fellows of the Collegiate church of Manchester. Besides the above places of worship, there are also in Salford, a large methodist chapel, an independant chapel, and a chapel where a modification of the doctrines of Emanuel Swedenburg are taught. To this place of worship is attached a piece of burial ground, in which, in the course of seven years, not less than 5000 bodies have been interred. It ought, however, to be noticed, that few of these were, when living, of the Swedenburg persuasion, or even attenders on this place of worship; but a small charge for the reception of a corpse in a common grave, has induced the surviving friends to deposit the remains of the members of their families in this mound of mortality. In this town, which has the honour to give name to the Hundred in which it is situated, is the New Bayley-Prison, for the confinement of the criminals of the Hundred. It was built after the plan of the late celebrated John Howard, & opened for the reception of prisoners in April 1790. In front of the prison, and indeed included within its walls, and forming the entrance to it, is a handsome stone, rusticated building; on the ground floor of which are apartments for the turnkey and his family, and rooms for the security of suspected persons, previous to their confinement by order of the magistrates in the prison itself. Over these, are a large and convenient sessions room, in which the weekly and quarterly sessions are held; and adjoining to it, are withdrawing rooms for the magistrates, council, jurors, witnesses, &c. Near the prison is the Lying-in Hospital. (see Manchester) Salford can boast of one of the finest home views in the county, from the Crescent, a scene which never fails to arrest the eye of taste. Salford has no market, but participates in the advantage of those of Manchester. It has, however, two fairs, annually: viz., on Whit-Monday for horses, cattle, and woollen cloth; and on Nov. 17 for the same articles. Each of These fairs, (which, in the lists published, are called Manchester fairs) last nearly a fortnight for the sale of woollen cloth, blankets, rugs, hardware, &c. For a further account of Salford, see the article, Manchester; in this work, and the "Manchester Guide" written and published by the author of this local Gazetteer.

Salford Hundred, the most southerly hundred in the county of Lancaster, is bounded on the W. and N.W. by West Derby hundred, on the N.N.W. by Leyland hundred, on the N. by Blackburn hundred, on the N.N.E. and N.E. by the county of York, and on the S. and S.W. by the county of Chester. It is divided into three parts, which, together, form one of the most populous districts in the kingdom, and which appeared by the census of 1801, to contain

The quarterly sessions are holden at the New Bayley court house, in Salford, the first week after Epiphany; the first week after the close of Easter; the first week after the translation of Thomas-a-Becket, or July 7th; and the first week after Michaelmas day, at each of which the business is so multiferious, that the court is often obliged to sit five or six successive days.

W.D.

Sankey Canal, the first artificial river which was made in England. It originated in the year 1755, in a company which obtained an act of parliament to make Sankey Brook navigable from the river Mersey, to the neighbourhood of St. Hellens. This scheme did not succeed; and a new act was obtained in 1761, to cut a Canal, distinct and detached from Sankey Brook, to communicate with the Mersey at Fidler's Ferry. Its length from the last mentioned place to the place where it separates into three branches, is 91/4 miles; the whole distance in the farthest branch 113/4 miles. There are two double, and eight single locks upon this Canal, to meet a fall of about 60 feet.
