WARRINGTON GLASS NAxuYACTURIsa Con-.
rArr.-It was stated In the STAB few days
since that Q project was on foot 10 establish IN
the District OF Columbia a glass man ufactory,
and with this object In view number Of orr
business citizens had conceived the forrnation
s5e.C6O. Should q sufieient amount u money
be raised. (of which there can be no reasonable
douot,) the orss will be put mp under the
supervision Of, and managed oy, Messrs. J. r.
and 4. Colne, gentlemen OF extensive expe-
rienee in the manufacture of glass in this
country and France, and who are themselves
heavy subscribers to the stock. TIE Messrs.
Coine have thoroughly explores the regions
hereabouts, and finding every ingredient In
the soil necessary for making glass, express
themselves fully satisfied that the works
can be erected and glass made and sold among
our merchants at q much less price than the
same article can be bought IN the North. At
nrst 1t is only proposed 10 turn out hollow
ware, such as lamp shades, tumolers, &C.; but
as soon as the capital invested VIII warrant,
WINDOW and other glass Will De made. The
coaiser articles OF glass will be made from
material collected in the neighborhood Of
Washington, while near Lynchburg and other
parts of Virginia an abundance Of fne sand
can be procured at nominal hgare, barring
freight, from which the better qualities can be
manufactured. The sooner this enterprise goes
into operation the better, and il Is therefore
proper that a suitable site should be at once
selected, and the necessary Steps be taken to
erect proper buildings. Now is the time to
spring the company can 60 to work.
On Monday night = meeting of those per-
sons fav orable to the proposed works was held
at No. 81, Louisiana avenue, when Mr. T..
Wheeler was called to the chair. After stating
the object Of the meeting, the chairman an.
nounced that about $4,000 had already been
subscribed, and he hoped the requisite amount
would be made mp on the spot. About $1,000
more stock was then subscribed for, when the
meeting sdjourned with the understanding
that as soon as S25.000 were taken the stock.
