Philadelphia Manufactures.

We are somewhat astonished to notice
that the Quaker city of Philadelphia puts
forth claim to being, not only the greatest
manufacturing city on this continent but
with the exception of London, the greatest
in the world. We are all familiar with its
advantages as quiet and pleasant place of
residence; but that it should claim to be a
great Industrial centre, will be news to many.
As the matter is one, however, in which our
merchants are directly interested, and the
consumers of goods indirectly, we will give
a brief synopsis of its claims.
In 1860, according to the Census returns,
there were IN Philadelphia 6,29S manuiac-
tories having a capital of $73, 31s, 1856, which
employed 5000 hands, and produced an an
nual value of 1886, 100000. Recently, Mr..
EDWIN T. FREEDLEY, we'll known author,
has prepared volume of 700 pages, on the
Manufactures of Philadelphia, and demon
strated that, in 1866, the factories produced
over taoo hundred millions Of dollars Of staple
goods. This is an astounding exhibit; no
other city on the American continent ap-
Massachusetts,, including Boston, Lowell,
and all her famous manufacturing towns, did
not produce more than two hundred and for
ty millions. In 1860, New York had only
seven small Cotton Goods Manufactures,
and no Wooden mills; Philadelphia is now
the commercial centre of two hundred and
sixty Cotton and wooden factories. and
has besides, several thousand hand looms of
which the annual product is equal to that
of seventy additional mills of average size.
The class of Dry Goods manufactured in
Philadelphia is of those low price staple
goods, which are especially adapted to the
wants of the people in the Middle, Western,
and Southern States. Millions of yards of
PantaIoonery, Cottonades, Checks and
Stripes, Tickings, Osnaburgs, Kentucky
Jeans, and Narrow Textile Fabrics, are made
there every year. Of Carpetings, the pro-
duct amounts to nearly ten millions of dol
lars; of Ready Made Clothing, to eighteen
millions; of Refined Sugar, over twenty mill
ions; of Boots and Shoes, over five millions;
of Stoves nearly three millions. Philadelphia
claims to have the largest Military Goods
Mandatory, the largest Chemical factories,
the largest Cordage factory, the largest Book
selling house, and the largest Locomotive
Works and Machine shops in the United
States. 1t is quite evident. that her prox-
Unity to the Coal Mines and Iron Beds, her
low rents and facilities afforded mechanics
Tor comfortable and economical living, have.
given Philadelphia start in manufacturing,
which nothing but her want of enterprise
can retard. It's moreover evident that with
tne progress alreay made in manufacturing,
we fhlladelphia market is worthy the at
tehtlon of those who wish to purchase
goods at first hand.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The American Watch Company, of Waliham.
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more accurate less complex, more
durable, better adapted for general use, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any

in structure, and therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than The majority of foreign
watches, which are composed of from 125 to 800
pieces. while in an old English watch there are
: more than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, Is shown by the
following letter:

THE ACADEMY OF Music was crowded last
evening with an elite and intelligent audience,

personatiOn OF the hapless Queen of France

AaiOinette. The fault of the work is its elabo-
rateness and want of true dramatic concord

and resembles SchIller's WdHenStein lin thirty
acts), without the power and classic beauty OF
that great work. The scenery, imported from
Italy, is magnificent and artistic, the "graud

The play was carefully acted and the tdbieduI
tndtes were rendered with much grace aud good
taste. The music incidental to the new pay

Dr. w. A, Cunnington. Mime RistOri per-
formed her enormous rOie with an evenness of
pathos, passion, and womauly characteristics
that exhibited to the fullest degree her remarka-
BILE dramatic genius, and the applause was
general throughout. This evening Marie An
