extensive establishment for the manufacture of des-
cription of ware, similar to the stone of Eng
land and Scotland The establishment is in Jersey

had the pleasure of examining the work few days
since. The produced at this factory is equally
strong and substantial Che best stone mn
ported, and the patterns far convenient and
inviting in shape and ornament Pots, jars, pitchers,
flower pots, mk-pans, ink stands tca-pots, basins,
tubs toys and in short, every description of this spe-
cos of ware, are here produced in perfection And
