The correspondent of the Western Git izen thus describes the appeavance o. Manchester, Engiand. which supplies the world with an immense amount of cut lery : "Here all is bustle and activity in the commercial and manu facto ring world - immense piles of buildings, devoted to manufactures crowded with husy opera tives, preparing1 fabrics and machinen for the markets of the wor'd- sl-reets fill ed with busy inhabitants, and caris laden with cotton bales and packages of go'ods - wealthy merchantsand manufacturera whose premisos are measured by acres and their workmen counted by hundreds and whose business requires a princeh capital, meet you in every part of the city.
