unworthy of entering into the calculation.
W hoover understands the true and perma
nent interests of this city, must not only
wish to see. hut lend a hand to the estab
lishment of some great and staple manu
facture; such as wilt require many hands
and much taste; and such as the popula
tion of tho Ohio and Mississippi valley
will continue for the end of tune, and to h
great amount; and such us can be more
‘•omcniently fabricated, and more easily
distributed from this point, than any other
in this valley. We do not often obtrude
thoughts upon such subjects upon the
public; and have therefore some of the
claims upon candor and attention, which
are allowed to a virgin sneaker on the
door. We are sure of one other claim,
that derived from a sincere desire to L»o.,
in our wav and according to our means,
instrumental in promoting the prosperity
and m eifa re of our citv.
\‘ r sav then, that m otir view, there i>
no place in America, perhnps none in I lie*
world, that so imperiously calls fur an es
tablishment rn a large scale of the manu
facture of the two kinds of earthen ware.
Known among us by the name of Liver
pool and ('Inna ware—more properly cal
led Porcelain.
It is hardly necessary to premise, that
tin- is a bulky and heavy article—that j
from if ■» fragility of texture, it is more ex
nos'd to injure, and the deduction of
breakage, than any other, glass only ex- j
cepted. An immense and constantly in-1
creasing amount is demanded; and, in j
nine of its forms and varieties, in every j
domestic establishment, from the cabin to I
he m uisior; and from the nature of things j
it is a fabric, which we have no reason toj
think, will ever be supereeded. Just as j
bi g as man will require food presented1
I un in circumstances, winch mark, tint
le is no longer a savage, so long the ne
cessity for this great article of supply will
exist. All these circumstances on their
rr.ee establish the claim- of (Ins species ot!

•-tute the amount of all tins ten times redu
plicated enhancement of the price. Hut
in the case of China ware, u*e should sup
pose it more than double the original price
o* the article.
In relation to tho expediency 01 cstuo- i
hailing such a manufacture here, it seems
to ii9. that the only questions to be set- 1
tied arc these: Have wo an ample supply i
of earths fur the coarser and liner sorts?
< 'ou!;l we procure artizans fully competent I i
t,> executing the fabrics in perfection?
Would the comparative cheapness of la
bor in tiio countries, whence we inviort
them, enable the manufacturers there to j
-end them to us, burdened w ith all the ne
cessary charges, as cheap, ns we could ;
afford them when manufactured on the
spot?
We premise a few words in regard to
the first point, touching the earthy matter.
necessary to the fabric. There are a great
nnii v varieties of this kind of ware, from
the finest semi-transparent of China, and;
the Ca7.zimg lustr*' of S>v-\ to the com
in >jj ware imported from Liverpool. AH
the-e variefie- require different cort.bma
(ion- of earth,, of which frie clay is the
' H-i-. We shall only speak of lire finest j
Ohioa ware, and the still more beautiful,
filiric of S-wes; as it is belfeved, that tin*
materials of the I otter are very similar to
those of the semi-transparent porcelain of
China.
That is well known to be composed of a
mixture of tivo kinds of earth. Hie one
i- called kaolin, and the other petumcc.,
Phev ire both white in color—i id the ba
-is i*f r> .e is cl iv. and ihe other silex, or
flint—The feldspar stone, which is corn
miiii mi the Alleghanies. and in thecouu
irms ol the lead mines, and about the
luk s. is found to consist of about the same
proportions of earthy matter, as the poi-* ■
lain, and would undoubtedly answer tor
that fabric. Porcelain clay of the finest
qu.'ihtv contains the follow ing components
of 10(1 parts. Silex 5-3; alum me or pure
clay ‘*7: oxyd of non 5-10 of one part;
water 11; lone “3. Both these earths are
found in quarries near Ivmg-tc-ching.
The petunsee is exceedingly uhite, fine,
soft and greasy to the touch, i he kaolin
is not found iu the same ahum mcc, but
is not unlike the other earth in its external
properties. It has been said, that the
Chinese keep a constant -supply dug up. i
to receive the influence of frost, ram ar.d
the chemical changes oi time, one hun
dred years in advance of the use; so that ■
the manufacturers use that earth which

We 'hail say nothing about tijo prep»

tute. js every line understands, a verx
complicated series of processes, which,
thougli delicate, »md reij ilring art, taste,
and experience, a erimv well known to be
no more mysteries, than any other coin
plicated process. They arc possessed, it*
different degrees, by thousands of aititi
it’crs in all countries where tins fabric i>
made.
Jt has been made in China from time
mxncxnona). The first authentic annals,
in relation to it, date about the filth centu
rv of our era. The Chinese used to make
the article more beautiful in former times
fins, instead of hem" atlnhaled to then
being retrogade in skill, as lias been idly
supposed, is clearly owing to the great de
mund, since tho English and Americans
have opened such un extensive trade wvh
them in the article. The demand has in
creased beyond the supply; and they have
yielded to the consequent temptation to
fabricate a more easily wrought and inferi
or article.
The finest and the greatest quantity is
manufactured m Kmg-te-Cliin; though a
considerable amount is made in tho pro
vince o! (i. inng-tong, or, as we call it,
Canton; and in Fukien. The inferiority
of ihe latter to the former, is probably
owing to the inferiority of tho materials.
Porcelain is also made in Japan, in
Vienna, in Berlin, and a very beautiful
kind in Dresden. We duiibt not. most of
our readers are aware uf the touching and
heauti'id story of Mias Fdgcworlh, lurn
iiig upon a premium offered by the King of
Prussia for tho handsomest design of
painting for a particular pi co of porcelain
— mil iuiquitously gained by a Jew from
the real designer, u poor and beautiful
girl.
In Italy there are manufactures of por
celain at Naples and Florence. It was
wrought at many pi ices in France. But,
before the tune of Ueamur, of a kind very
inferior to that oi Dresden, which had
been carried to the next degree of perfec
tion to that ofthoChine.se. Iieamur dis
covered in France earths so much like tho
kaolin and pctunscc of (’Uinn. n® •« »«U«
equally beautiful ware The article which
'here answers for kaolin, is n white argil
laceous earth, filled with mica—and the
pofunsce is a hard quartzose atone. Rea
mer made many discoveries, touching the
fusibility and the relative projections rc
quisite for harshness, fineness and M?mi
transparency. Mouligny, and especially
M.tcqucr, carried these improvements still
farther—and the royal establishment of
Sevo, or Seves, on the road from Pans In
Versailles, became, as it were, a national
school—to which, foi beauty, brilliance,
la.-dc in painting, cud elegance of the fin
ish. nothing in the world can compare
with the article there wrought. We have
!i;ul mi opportunity to cxamino complete
services of this ware, and were, sensible I
ill it no description would give an adequate
idea of its beauty. It must be seen to be
valued aright. This splendid fabric is
now despatched to orders from the opulent
md lastefulTn all countries. The estab
lishment gives employment to a vast num j
her of hands, and in France, labor hi

more real glory from the Scves tnanufac
lory than from all her triumphal arches,
and all her victories purchased by blood
•ind tears. It is a source of national
wealth and emulation in the walk of the
line arts. What triumph of -it can be

The next question to be settled is. hav»*

to be alluvial, of secondary formation; as

We might expect, a priori, **> •«ucli a re

variety of aJumruous and siliceous earth j
clays of all colors, and tl»e most unpalpa-,
ble fineness. Feldspar exists, as we have
seen, iu a thousand place*. Ulussmanu
uciufifs find in a great number ol places,
the fineSK siliceous earth* f°* tlicsr purpo

we believe, that kaolin exists in the bill
immediately contiguous to our ctfy; and
we quest: >n not, that the rcq usite eart

o\wec'\ the Mianiics; a region so abun

!’>•»? we have j i«j risen from examining
a specimen oi tlm henutifui earth found in
t'ic county of Cape iiirardeau, and in a I

by steamooats. I in quantity is stated to -
be inexhaustible; and a learned chemist,
Mr. froast, has, we are told, pronounced
it the happiest combination of tin* earths
necessary to the m ist beautiful species of
porcelain Such arc our own impression*;
and we once purs led these investigations
long and Inboriously. The question

We have but one nioN question 1 1 eh
to dispose. Can we afryd to ni .ufar
turc the article here as ehe^ art w. m
import it from China, Fra: re, i0d Eng
land ? Pbe duties on the fabric ;iie 20
percent, ml valorem The \ vnge from
Lhina is one <>t the most instafit xml ex

The whole accumulated ex|»cnses ot i tuna
poroel tin bring it to ua in this city at inoro
than 100 por cent, advance upon the ori
ginal cost.
In conversing with a very rosjiectublo
importer of the article, which wo call Liv
erpool, or printed ware, m this city, we
find that a medial cost ot many invoices,
and containing all the kinds from the most
expensive to tho most common and cheap,
gives 5j per cent, as the average whole
sale expense of importation from Engluotl
to this city.
•Such has been the result of investifa
tion and comparison of the prices of tho
labor, and the expense of manufacturing
th*» article hi different countries, that in
Philadelphia, noted for tho prudence and
caution of its manufacturing establish
ments, n porceluin manufactory has been
commenced We arc not sufficiently ac
quainted with the progress which it ha*
made, to speak with any degree of defin
iteness. Hut we have seen, from time to
lime, notices of successful operation;
and we understand they already f thricato
the urticle sufficiently beautiful, it u» h a
manufacture cun prosjier in Philadelphia;
a furt’ori, it must more certainly pro >*•«•
acre, where living is so much cheaper,
lab ir not higher, the article probably more
iccessible and of a better quality—' wc
[relieve that at Cnj»e Girardeau, the ft io*t
n America,)—and where the cx|mm, <•- of
rnportatiou must be nearly double those
o Philadelphia. Consequently we have
ill the additional motives for tile estab
lishment of tins mnnijfucturo, which can
iu drawn from the difference between tho
ixpcusc of importing tlieso articles from
icyond the seas to Philadelphia, and this
ity. An important element in the colcu
utiou, by any possible economy of impor
ution from that cily to this -equalling, wo
hould suppose, the expenses from Livur
>ool here.
We repeal, that (ho movers in a groat
establishment of tins sort would be, in our
judgment at least, tf in that of no other
person, benefactors lobe remembered, as
long as our city ahull continue to need the
resources of such establishments for its
constantly growing |K>pulution. ft or have
we any doubt, what kind of estimation
mu' I, men would receive Irotn those, who,
m the years to come, shall record tbo
names of ilio true benefactors of this city.
If a corporation were instituted tor such
an establishment, and the slock divided in
to a greet number of shares it is very pro
bable, (hat many, who would view the pro
ject w ith lukewarmness, and witlioul any
strong conviction ol its utility and profita
bleness, would subscribe, merely in the
generous purpose to put something ai Im£•
