The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Madrid
left Southampton also yesterday with the Peninsular

to ship on board the screw steamer Brandon in Cowes
Roads. The Brandon has been chartered as an extra
ship by Messrs. Croskey and Co., of Southampton, to
convey to New York the French goods for America,
which accumulated in Havre. The Brandon was
crammed full of cargo and passengers. She took out
also a number of rams, ewes, and lambs of the Cotswold
breed for breeding purposes in America. The Indiana,
another extra screw steamer running between Havre,
Cowes, and New York, was to leave the latter place on
the 9th inst. She belongs to the General Screw Com-
pany, who are about to alter their vessels for the purpose
of enabling them to carry more passengers to America.
CHEArEn PAPER.—The Long Island Vindicator
says :—" Dr. Antisel has invented a pulp, which, in its
raw state, will not cost more than about one-sixth of a
cent. per pound, and by the aid of a machine invented
by Mr. Nolan, can be brought into market, made into
paper, at a cost of about four cents. per pound.
Paper at present costs about 16 cents., so that
the value of the invention can once be seen.
The material from which this pulp is manufactured
will flourish and grow abundantly in ground that is at
present useless to the farmer, and here, too, the com-
munity will be the gainers. We have seen and examined
specimens of the pulp, and have no hesitation in pro.
nouncing it just the tiling, wanted. It is as white and
clear as the most clearly bleaellP cotton, and'in capable
tit.l:cat,3 ai.d trai,s-
parency of the straw paper is not to be found in it, while
it is capable of the highest finish; maintaining all the
pliancy and toughness of the pure linen rags.,
