PAPER FROM WOOD FIBRE.

In consequence of the scarcity of rags, and a prohibi-
tion of their exportation from various continental states
to this country, some alarm has been excited respecting
a deficiency in the supply of paper to meet the en'
lightened requirements of the age ; and this is not to be
wondered at, for the diffusion of knowledge by means
of the press has become so vast, that we scarcely knovi
anything short of a bad harvest which would be so
much felt by the community as a limited production of
this valuable commodity. Various expedients have been
suggested to overcome the difficulty, but of their prac'
ticability we know yet nothing. In the midst, however,
of the different theories advanced, we have the satisfac-
tion of finding that, by the application of chemical
science, the most important results, as regards the
fabric of paper, have already been effected ; nor do we
believe that, since the papyrus was first used for writing►
so important a fact has been established as that of the
manufacture of paper from wood fibre. This extraor-
dinary and valuable discovery has recently been pr
tented by Messrs. Watt and Burgess, to whom the publlg
is indebted for many valuable discoveries in chemistry
Two specimens of the raw material are before us;
the first consists simply of deal shavings ; the second 01
a pure white pulpy substance, very much resembling
piece of cotton when first taken from the pod, only
little harder to the touch.

We are also in possession of two sheets of the mane'
factured article, which is declared by competent judgo
to be equal to any sample of writing paper now selling
at 7d. per pound. It presents a beautiful surface, with
a pure colourless tint, and is free from defect or blemish
of any sort. The cost of production is stated to be
somewhat under 251. per ton, which is a saving of more
than 121. upon the price per ton of the rag paper no wlh
use. When, in addition to this important difference 111'
the cost, it is considered that by the substitution of clean'
wholesome shavings, for filthy, and oftentimes infectious
rags, an immense amount of dirt, labour, and the risk
of disease are avoided, that the profit to the manufac'
turer in comparison with present prices will be incalcul-
able, and that the result to the public generally will be
most advantageous, there can be little doubt as to the
adoption of the discovery by manufacturers of paper'
The patent is already, we are informed, in progress 0
the United States, as well as to France, Belgium, Ails"
tria, and Prussia. We may add that the pulp was pre;
pared by Messrs. Watt and Burgess, at Reading, and
that the paper was made by Mr. Stevens, of the mills av,
Hemel Hempstead.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Among the maul
interesting groups which decorate the large room of this
establishment, perhaps none at this particular time se
pregnant with great events would occupy more attention,
than the one called the War Group, which represent";
most of the celebrated charactersi of the last great Euro'
pean struggle. First is the figure of Bonaparte, with
Ney and Murat. Napoleon I. is in a highly appropriate
attitude, pointing to his standard bearing the Eagle'
under which he so often led his soldiers to victory. 011
the opposite side is the Emperors of Austria, Russia,
and the King of Prussia, Prince Blucher, &c. The
whole is highly appropriate, and all the likenesses are
most excellent, and Are highly creditable to Madame
Tussaud's artistic taste and skill.
OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Late yesterday afternoon gr'
Alfred Wizan received a telegraphic despatch frora
Colonel Phipps, commanding him to attend at Windsor
Castle last evening to perform the part of Rolando, in
the Honeymoon, and to close his theatre, if necessary'.
The theatre was closed accordingly, and copies of the
despatch were posted at the doors, together with an in'
timation that all tickets and places might be transferred
to another evening, or returned, at the option of the
holder.

RUSSIAN WAR STEAMERS BUILDING IN BRITISH PORTS.
—NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, WEDNESDAY. - Two screw'
steamers, 140 feet each in the keel, are building in the
Tyne, ostensibly for Russian merchants, really for the
Russian Government, and their engines are being exe-
cuted with great despatch in a large w9rk in this town.
The seafaring population in the northern coal ports ar°
indignant, and no Russian war vessel would ever be
allowed to leave the Tyne.
