I whom Mr.. Whitlow's memorial OF
this subject was referred, have made
the following report thereon
<aThe COMMITTEES to whom ives re-
ferred the memorial Of Charles Whit
low, on the subject Of a newly disco
yersd plant, as a substitute for hemp
and FAX, respectfully report.
aI'hat they have had several IN
terriews and conferences with the
Memoriaiist, at which he has exliibi-
ted specimens of his newly discover
ell plant in its various stages, from
the nettle in its natural state, includ-
ing the fax and tow. to a strong aud
fine spun thread that from tho &C
compauying Certificates and Docu-
ments, published In the Baltimore
Medical and Philosophical lyeeum,
it appears. that il is hardy porre-
NAL, and believed TO be a species rot
hitherto discovered by any Botanist.
1t further appears, from a certificate
signed by = number Of sIanuiactu-
rcrs of fax and hemp, linen and cot
ton, that they had examined the plant
above described in its different stages
Of FAX, tow, and thread; and were
unanimously Of opinion, that it is Tar
superior TO any FAX Or hemp. they
had ever seen, as we'll in the quantity
ii prcsiuccs frem single stem, as Its
superior strength, beauty, and line
ness Of texture. That, from the ex-
periucsts made by them, they were
further of opinion, that it will pro-
duce FROM twenty to twenty five per
cent more from the hcekle than any
fax or hemp knowa to them; and
that they are full, persuaded it will
become a great benefit to any coun-
try that will encourage its cultiva-
ton.
From these. and various other do
cumeats exhibited to your committee
as wall as trsnl ths;r own view and
observation. they are decidedly OF
opinion. that the discovery OF the
Uriica Whitioni (ths name by which
the plant is new distinsui,hed) is OF
the highest Importance and as far
rs they are competent to judge, the
riant will be found a valuable sub
stitute for henp and fax. and its
cultivation aud msaufacturs will DO
highly beneficial 10 every country
which will assrd it patronage ard
encouragement.
All which is respectfully submitted.

have not vet been able 10 obtain the Off

But our friends in the sixth, seventh and
tenth wards, deserve more than c9n-
mon praise; two of these wards, here
tofere democratic, are now regenerated;
the character Of the sixth is now estab-
lished.--and though the democratic al
dermsn in the tenth ward Is chosen, IT
appears that he is indebted to federal
votes for his election ; numb per OF fe-
derslists, on account Of his correct con-
duct heretofore, being willing he should
retain his situation. In the seventh al
though success did not attend the exer.
lions of our friends, yet they have shown
the administration men, that the war is
unponular, even in that ward, and there

charter election, the ward will be fsde-
raj. -

concluded ne doubt that they might rest
from their lsbcrs, ana that they had her
vnaticslly sealed up the ports and har-

aperture however was left open by the
British for our grain trade with Spain
and Portugal, and the American cruz
sers, public and private, Immediately
