The UMBRELLA BusINEss.-The manufacture of
umbrellas and parasols is an extensive business,
furnishing bread to many hundreds, who, in turn,
furnish instruments of shelter from the sun and
rain to thousands. During the marning the streets
running down town, east of Broadway, are lined
with rapid moving procession upon either side
walk, of workers Fastening to their daily duties
large proportion Of these youthful, and near
~ half Of them working girls. OF these, several
hundreds are engaged in various capacities in the
umbrella business. At those seasons of the year
just preceding brisk trade this branch of manufac.
t1re is pushed with great energy. The great share
OF the business is conducted by seven firms, who
do an aggregate business of about s 500, 900 per
annum. One of the largest of these employs 325
persons, Of which number $50 are girls They also
use steam power The mac hnery is used princi.
pally for sharpening the sticks and whalebones,
and for boring the holes There are ll2 pa rita in n
umbrella; while in the process of manufacture il
passes through nearly as many hands, Such is
the celebrity acquired in the works, that an UNI.
brea is easily made in two hours and would be
finished sooner but for the slow drying of the var
nish. The wages received by umbrella sewers il
81 60 per week. The handles of the umbrellas
are principally made in Pennsylvania and the
rattansin Philadelphia and Williamsburgh. where
there are large establishments for their mnnufsc.

WArER-woRKs IN PHILADELeHrA.-The annual
report OF the watering committee for 1852, just
issued, shows that the supply of water during the
year has not much exceeded that of 1851, the ave
rage for the year being 5,73l, 744 ale gallons per
day, which was supplied to l9,459 tenants who
pay for the water in the city, and about 5000
families who receive a supply from the hydrant
pumps. There are thus supplied, in the city pro-
per. " 400 tenants; in Southwark by private n.y.
drants, 1857; and in Moyamensing in the same
way, 2,776; making total of &c, 1872.
1t has been ascertained by experiment that the
largest consumption of water in the summer takes
place between the hours of 9 and IL a. M. and 2
and p. M, the minimum supply between 9 q.
m. and p m. being at noon, between IL and l
O'Clock, when the factories and steam engines are
mostly stopped. An experiment made in May
last showed that from p. m. to a. m the guam
tity of water used was ,972 ,268 ale gallons, and
from a. m. to s p. M, 1892, 522. The largest
quantity of water is consumed on Saturday and
the least on Sunday In January last, the quantity
consumed on three days was: Thursday, 3.877 .278
gallons; Saturday. 1857 85l; Sunday, 3.l86, 446.
On the same days in July the quantity was
Thursday, 7,620,37 Saturday, 8,lS5, 9O9; Sun
day, 5,596,5l5. From this it will be that in
July the supply on Thursday exceeded that ofSun
day 2,023 1856, which may probably be considered
tity used Saturday in scrubbing houses and
pavements cannot be judged by this, as in July
30 many persons are out of town.
The total daily supply of water to the whole
city and districts by all the water works is stated
thus, the time being in June last: To the city and
| lower districts by the Paramount water wor K 8,
6,252 ,l55 gallons; to Spring Garden and the North
to Kensington by the Kensington works. $40, 81;
aggregate, II ,5l5,137. This supply is equal to
