8111,—The detachment of 48 of the Italian work-
ing nun of the Sardinian states, which visited Manchester in
the beginning of this week, have begged me to eommuni-
eat, on their pert, through the press, the gratitude which
ttuy feel for the kindness with which they were there ru-
nlet...l. They desire to express their thanks to the town of
Manchester and to its manufacturers for the liberality with
Ishieh the industrial treasures of the ant manufacturing
city of the world were freely opened to their inspection.
To the mayor they feel especially indebted for having ad-
dressed th,ni in a discourse which moved them by the ideas
of industrial progress which it expressed, and by the sug-
gestions of hope (or their unhappy country, timed upon the
'hater liberties of the Sardinian states, which it contained.
