Manufacturing Industry.

According to the last census, nearly million of
persons In this country are engaged in manufac-
turing establishments. The capital invested in
them 10 four hundred and twenty seven millions of
dollars, and the value Of their annual product over
thousand millions. The New York Courier re-
marks that the locking up of such a vast capital in
hieness, and the Cessation Of such an amount of
prsduetivs industry, must necessarily tell with
great effect upon every material interest of the
country.
