GLASS MANUFACTURE.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
No branch of productive industry in this country is in
a more unsatisfactory state than the glass manufacture.
The new Administration (Ls ryes, at least, the praise of
having had the sagacity to discover the unsound footing
on which it stands. With all the materials for glass.
making, kelp, sand, clay, and fuel, in an abundance, and
at a price unknown to other countries, we do not supply
other countries with glass ; we cannot even supply our
own market with glass of the same description. The
cause of this manufacture not having kept pace with the
other manufactures of the country is the excessive Excise
duty. Glass pays about 300 per cent. of its value as duty.
The capital required to pay this enormous duty, every six
weekl, is so much beyond the ordinary manufarturini:
capitals of the country, that, in point of fact, the few ca-
pitalists who are engaged in glass-making enjoy as com-
plete a monopoly, as if they held an exclusive patent for
the manufacture. It will scarcely be believed by the
public that there are but seventeen crown glass manufac-
t trers to the seventeen millions of inhabitants of Great
Bti'ain. Mr. Attwood, who is, if we mistake not, one of
the seventeen, very justly observed in the House of Com-
mons, that those who pay the Excise duty to Government
have expressed no dissatisfaction at the state of the glass
trade. It would have been very wonderful if they had.;
it being precisely the amount of the ditty which preserves
their monopoly of it. If the glass duty were repealed, we
would not, as at present, have to import some kinds of
glass, such as cheap glass, of a size suitable for shop win-
dows, from our want of skill to manufacture what would
suit even our own market. Our seventeen glass manufac-
turing establishments, having each its own district to sup-
ply without any fear of competition, have no object in im-
proving the manufacture, in seeking new markets, in ap-
plying the material of glass to new purposes. They enjoy a
good easy hereditary trade. They are, as Mr. Attwood says,
well contented to advance a duty which the public ultimately
pays, and which keeps the manufacture in the same state as
it stood in half a century ago. But Mr. Attwood and that
sagacious friend of the people, Mr. Hunt, appear to
have forgotten altogether that there are probably sixty
thousand labourers in kelp in Ireland and Scotland, who
would find employment if the Excise duty on glass did not
prevent the manufacture of that article from being carried
to the extent of which it is susceptible. Free trade is all
that these people ask. With alkali for glass making
incomparably cheaper than potash, with which foreign
gl tss is made, with coals instead of wood for fuel,
these kelp-makers say, every pane of glass in Europe
would be of British manufacture, if the manufacture were
thrown open to the ordinary manufacturing skill and
capitals of our manufacturers. They say that the purposes
to which glass would he applied, if no duty existed to limit
the strength and thickness of the material, are not even
known ; that for conveying water, gas, and many other pur-
poses, glass would he used instead of metal. The export
trade at present is very trifling. The seventeen can-
not make glass to suit the foreign market. Why should
they ? The home market is just sufficient for all the
glass they make. They are not driven like other manu-
facturers to seek for new markets. If we had only
seventeen iron-founderies or seventeen cotton factories in
Great Britain, by the operation of a heavy Excise duty of
300 per cent. upon the value of iron, or of cotton goods,
these branches of industry would be in the same
state as the glass manufacture. The iron-master
or the cotton manufacturer would certainly not
complain of the duty which secured him from all
competition. The country would have a right to com-
plain. The country does now complain that an easy ma-
nufacture, fur which we possess every material in the ut-
most abundance, and which perhaps next to the useful
metals enters most largely into all the uses of civilized
life, is locked up in the hands of seventeen manufac-
turers; while sixty thousand people engaged in pro-
viding the principal material of this manufacture,
declare that they would find employment and a living, if
the free use of this material were granted to the industry
and capital of the country. It is impossible to judge from
the present state of our glass trade what that trade would
be if the cost of sand, clay, coals, and kelp, were the only
expense of the manufacture ; and if these materials could
he worked by the manufacturer for any purpose or market.
Its extent would probably be only exceeded by that of our
iron trade.

We have received, by express, the Gazette de France
and the Me:sager des Chambres of yesterday, and the
whole of the Papers of Sunday. The lateness of the hour
and want of space oblige us to (bier extracts. The ful.
hwing is from a letter of our correspondent :
PARIS, FEB. 20.--The most perfect tranquillity reigns
throughout the metropolis, except in the Chamber of De-
puties, where the debate on the subject of the late di,
turbances will be resumed this day, notwithstanding it is
the Sabbath. A partial change of Ministry is inevitable.
The offered resignation of M. Montalivet will be accepted.
M. Guizot is struggling to be re-instated, but the Doctri-
naires will not again be tolerated.

inevitable. During the greater part of the afiernosii free or six
