The principal manufacture in the city of Worcester, 
is that of gloves, which, according to Dr. Nash, em¬ 
ploys about 4000 persons in the city, and in the country 
round about. 
Here are also two or more manufactures of porcelain, 
or China ware, which manufacture has been long 
established in this city. Messrs. Flight and Barrs, 
manufacturers of this article, had the honour of his 
Majesty’s patronage, upon his visit to this city some

Some very good articles are also got up in the cabi¬

some very fine and good cloth is there got up from
