Barber, from Yorkshire, England--and
for reasons stated in that Circular (now
made public) offered the Establishment
in the line Of the manufacturing the wool
of others at stipulated prices. Mr.. Dar-
Der having been called to England early
in March-.(at the recommendation Of
Isaac Bannister, Esq, the partner of Mr..
Young, ON the Brsndywine, whose goods
have so Justly acquired celebrity over
any other manufactured in this country.
we have since had in our employ MIR.

England, who, from his qualifications is
now taken into concern--.the firm will
therefore hereafter be ROBERT PHIL
