NEW MANUFACTURE.—An entirely new spe-
cies of tissue tapestry has been invented or discovered. Some
coverings of chairs and tapestry have been especially ordered by
her Majesty for the palace. It bears so strong a resemblance
to silk of the best kind that it is difficult, without a minute
examination, to discover the difference. The material of which
it is composed is the fibre of the banana, aloe, and other trees
which are plentifully found in our West India islan.ds, and by
very accurate experiments made by order of the Trench Go.
vernment, they have been found on an average to exceed the
strength of hemp by one-fourth. The experiments were made
at Toulon, upon cordage which had been six months exposed
to the open air, and an equal time immersed in the sea. The
F. ench .Nlinister of Marine has introduced ropes and cables
made of this material into the Royal Navy.—Sherborne

LONDON:
TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1840.

A number of Bills were carried up to the Lords from
the Commons last night, and a considerable number of
petitions were presenteil, one of which, from Presby-
terians of the North of Ireland, was against the Earl of
ABERDEEN'S Church Bill, which has been withdrawn.
Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill for the Administration of
Justice was passed through all its stages, the Standing
Orders having been suspended. The Law Lords pre-
sent supported it, and stated that the other Bill had
been withdrawn from the House of Commons to
their regret, under a rnisapprehensimi that it would he

opposed.
Lord MELBOURNE stated that it would have been in-
convenient and imprudent to press that Bill if opposed
a,: was expected.
The Bills of Exchange Bill and the Sale of Beer
Bill were both passed.
In answer to Viscount STRANGFORD, Lord NIEr..•
siut:aNh stated that he apprehended the Convention
er)neluded in relation to the affairs of the East, could
nr.t be procured in sufficient time to lay it on the table

'f returns were ordered relative to granting a charter

The E.trl of CHARLEVILLE entered into a long state-
ment relative to an Irish Magistrate, a Mr. LANGFORD,
who thought himself exceedingly ill-treated because the
Government tiid not think so highly of his zeal as he
thought, and when he had expected a baronetcy, we
pr,:!surne, he received a reprimand. The Noble Earl
moved for a return of the papers connected with the
erase.

The Marquis of NORMANBY did not oppose the mo-
tiou, except as to the opinions of the Law Officers. but
iv aa,cutiog to it observed that the peace of the country
bean preserved rather in spite of Mr. LANGFORD
to by his instrumentality—that be had acted illegally,
1 that Ireland,notwithstanding the continued efforts of
.:tain persona to goad her into outrage, was remarkably
wit behaved.
The Earl Of GLEN:IALL thought Mr. LANGFORD
been very severcly treated. We shall be better
ttbic.: to form an opinion when we see the documents ;
statements made on the authority of Irish .Magi -
t, ..tea, though nude in Parliament, have always ap-
r,e-red to- us amongst the least reliable of all the pro-
ductions of passion.
The Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill was, on
the motion of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, referred'
to a Sel.ct Committee, and the Standing Orders were
ordered to be suspended, to enable their Lordships to
reeve the Report and read the Bill a third time on
Tiihrsday. The weather—the delightful weather—is
obv,:lusly snaking their Lordships as tired of Parliament
tine public are tired of their Lordships, who sat till
