SOCIETY OF ARTS.

Professor Edward Solly delivered on Wednesday
evening one of the series of lectures in connexion with
the Great Exhibition, at the Society of Arts, John-
ereet, Adeiphi, on the vegetable substances used in
the arts and manufactures in relation to commerce
generally. In his prefatory remarks he defined raw
produce as the state in which the substance is employed
by the manufacturer ; for in this state it was
the raw matter on which be worked, although it
might have undergone many processes to bring it to
that condition. In the different classes of raw produc-
tions the best substances were not always used, nor
were the best means for preparing them followed.
He
referred this to many causes—to the tenacity with
which we hold received ideas, to combination in the
trade, to the ignorance of the manufacturer, to the
want of practical application in the man of science,
the want of direct communication between the first
producer and the manufacturer, instead of the present
system of middlemen, by whom every new thing was
looked on with distrust, and, in consequence, many a
new substance was sent back as useless to the pro-
ducer, as not being of any value in the market.
Mr. Solly then drew attention to the various
sp?nies of gums and resins, particularly one from New
South Wales, which might he used as A substitute
for shell lac, known as black boy gum, and the
cowdrie resin from New Zealand. He mentioned the
' bid
,quality of shell lac and ceoutchouc sent home,
through the carelessness of the collectors, and the
necessity there might be to find substitutes for
these and others. They would he surprised at the
yin 1 number of vegetable oils used, among same
hundred varieties. The palm and cocoanut oils were
much used in the manufacture of candles, and he enu-
merated a great many solid vegetable tallowy and
wax, of which specimens were shown, which might
be most valuable. The myrtle .wax, a specimen from
China, and others, were instanced. He then passed
on to the fluid fixed oils and the volatile oils, those
obtained from the destructive distillation of barks of
trees, of which the birch oil used in the prepsralon
of Russian leather was a well-known exsmple. The
different substances for dyeing were next reviewesi.,
and in this he considered that chemistry might be
media greatly available in concentrating dyes from
those substances where it was accompanied by much
woody fibre, and thereby bringing many valuable
ones into use which now were not available, from
the expense of freight, &c. The chay root was
a very important dye root. The
i next class con-
sidered was fibrous materials, including cotton,
hemp, &c. He Braised Mr. Mercer's process, which
cewisted of soaking the cotton material in caustic
soda. Tne octien of this was to strengthen the fibre,
for it changed its form frhm a fiat tube to a cylin-
drical oee. It dielaished it in size, but it took much
inure colour in dying. A. specimen was shown of the
ssme dye applied to a piece of cotton fabric, part of
which had been soaked in the solution, in which
the difference of colour was so perceptible that it
could distinctly be seen across the room. Wile re-
gerd to flax and hemp, he instanced Schenk's process
of steeping the plant in but water as an improvement
on the rotting system, but still only a step in the
right way, and meutioned the many valuable fibres,
the cocoanut, China grass, Rajmal, or bowstring hemp,
jute, plantain, and others, that might be largely em-
ployed. Of wood:and timber there were 10,000,000
cubic feet imported annually, and out of the nu-
merous descriptions known only eight were used in
shipbuilding, the English, live, and African oaks,
ironwood, morning caul, greenheart, Morab, and Eau
Indian teak. The Morah had only been added to the
list within the last six months. He mentioned that
in the Exhibition were two sections of the ironwood
(Eucalyptus), one 6 feet, and the other 3 feet in
diameter, the one cut at 14 feet, and the
other at 135 feet above the ground, just above
the first branch. In his concluding remarks
he showed that the want of progress in the
knowledge of substances and their application to the
arts was owing to people being employed\ in dis-
cov.ering what had been already found out ; but
which, owing to the want of a good system of informa-
tion, was not known. As an instance of this, he men-
tioned that by the records of the society many fibres
and oils were mentioned as receiving attention 50 years
ago, which now they were only just again bearing of,
and that 75 years ago, by the same records, it was
proved that Lady Moira used precisely the same method
as that employed now in Claussen's preparation of
flax-cotton. With regard to a Museum of Industry,
he said the idea was not a new one. For thirty years
the Commissioners of Factories in Austria had esta-
blished one, and he suggested that the Society of Arts,
having already a good collection, should undertake
the formation of a trade museum, which would be of
the greatest benefit to the world.

TEAL—Prices for Congou have undergone no further
depression, and sorts under is per lb are in good demand
for home consumption, but aboVe that rate operations
have been upon a heated scale;
an increase of orders is
quickly looked for, on account of the low rates and im-
proving consumption. There is still a plentiful supply of
od
all qualities. Prices for low range at 71d to 71 a, go
common 8d to 81d, blackish leaf 9d to I ld, superioe and

vious low rates; ordinary and fine qualities attracting
the most attention. The value of Hyson of low to midis

vious terms, and several purchases have been made ;
