A city of 102,470 souls only, Rouen has made a name for herself as a maini- facturing eentre. Her cotton and calico prints, known as JioKeunenes, her sugar-refineries, eonfectionaries, soaj) factories, tanneries; her iron, copper, and lead foundei'ies ; leather works, cutlery, dyeing establish- ments, &c., have M'on for her the proud surname of the j^Tanehester of France. Her port, thanks to dredging operations, in the lower Seine, offers facilities to the large ships of every nation; extensive indeed are her e.\]inrts to, and imports from, England, Algiers, Senegal, S]»ain, Fortugal, Italy, America,. Her ship])ing inward and outward in the year 187o, represents a tonnage of 537,017 tons, divided between o,467 ocean ships ; whilst her coasting trade inward and outward for the same period, kept em])loyed 5,01 o vessels, that is a tonnage of 720,o32 tons; a French line of steamers from liouen to Canada, is talked of for next summer.
