ROYAL SOCIETY FOR TIIE PROMOTION AND
PROVIDER/IT OP THE GROWTH OF FLAX IN INBLAND.—The
monthly committee meeting was held in Belfast on the 27th
instant, Richard Nivea, Esq., of Chromehill, Lisburn, in the
chair. Mr. W. G. Andrews, of Comber, brought forward
his report on the experiments Le bad made on the hot water
steeping system, and showed samples iliustrating it. He
highly approved of the principle, and was requested by the
committee to Vllllliirdeate the details to the annual meeting
of the society, on Friday, the 29. b inst. It was stated that
Dr. Hodges would, at the same time, bring forward some
results of experiments mad* in Prussia, on the same system,
by order of government which were also satisfactory. The
subcommittee appointed to inves4ate the whole merits of
Schenck's patent ',stem laid its final report before the meet-
ing, and, after detailing the very mustectory results of
the trials made, the repat went on to analyse the state-
ments pat forward a%out Donl,n's dry procese, and the
shown to illustrate it. It brought forward con-
si
cruZoreew evidence against the utility of the plan, and the
committee unanimously approved of the views taken, and
arranged that the sub committee's report should be read at
the annual meeting, in order that the public might be made
folly aware of the nature of the grounds on which the com-
mittee of the Royal Fla: Society, acting on its great expo
ricrac* and oracticel knowledge, disapproved of Dualan's
plan.—NortArns WAist.
ANCIENT TENANCY.--At one of the audits of Sir
Edward Blount, Bart , of Hawley Hall, Shropshire, reld
some time sense, an interesting statement was mode, which
we believe may safely challenge the whole country to pro-
duce its parallel. A friend informs us that several of the
baronet's tenants were there, contesting the point as to
which of their families could boast of having tented for the
longest period on the estate, when a farmer, named Allen,
who for many years hes been highly respected by hie laid-
lead, satisfactorily proved that himself and ancestors bad
either been in the employ of, nr rented under, the Blount
family for a period et nearly 790 years; that, in fact, his
anceston had entigreed from Normandy with that family
at the time of the Conquest, and from father to son each
sompeding generation had been retained on the estate.—
