EXHIBITION OF MANUFACTURES
The exhibition of manufactured articles was
not so great on some former occasions mar.
ticularly of woollen goods. There was not a
single specimen of broadcloth or cashmere
offered. One reason of this we understand is.
that such goods have heretofore been essential
ly injured in their appearance by being exposed
to. the improper treatment Of the multitude; ma
ny OF whom, in the qualification of their own
curiosity, seem to have little regard to its con-
sequences on the property of others The
greater advantages held out by the exhibitions
of the New England Society in Boston. NAV al
SO have produced some effect. Whatever NAV
have been the cause, we cannot but regret the
existence of the fact and hope that it will not
again recur. In household manufactures there
was visible improvement, and the variety was
quite as great as usual. For particulars we
must refer to the report of the committee,
which we shall probably publish next week.
