IMpoRTING COMPANY.

IMPORTING COMPANY.
Last evening, agreeably to the invita-
ton through the medium of the public pa
pers, very large meeting OF the princi-
pal traders of this city was hel'! at Bullets
room, in Commerce street; when gen.
Samuel Smith, was called to the chair,
aad jas. w. MsCuloch, esq. appointed
secretary. Col. Buchanan stated to the
meeting, in a very clear and intelligent
mahner, the objects in view; the prOpI;e-
ty aud feasibility of establishing COM
panyfosthe purpose of importing goods
from all paris OF Europe, that this mar
ket may be as well supplied as any other
on the continent of America; thereby
securing to Baltimo that extensive trade
its geographical situation so naturally en-
titles it to. Resolutions we're adopted
tor carrying this grand project into COM
pete effect and committee of twenty
five persons was appointed to make the
necessary arrangements for the formation
Of the company, and to report their pro-
ceedings to subsequent meeting. II is
believed The capital of the company is 10
be three million of dollars, and its csta-
blishment is contemplated for twenty
years.
Such an association as this certainly
merits deliberate consideration and it
prosecuted with vigor and intelligence,
cannot fail to be Of great public utility
For ourselves, we anticipate the most ia
yorable result, and calculate as early as
next spring, that many OF its advantages
will be clearly manifested.

reconsideration on the subject Of dana
ge, only, the jury reduced the amount to

A communication from an Eng'ishman,
in the New York Gazette, recommends
the making of !Scalded Cream Butter,
which is nov pTaCtised in many parts Of
England, and By which method a greater
quantity of butter, and more palatable
quality, can be obtained from milk, than
by the common mode. The following is
tue process
As soon as the milk has been taken
from the COW, it must be placed in an
sarthcn or tin vessel, and allowed to
stand Ia hours. 1t must be then placed
on steady wool FIRE, free as possible
from smoke, and scalded for 80 minutes,
particular care must be taken not to allow
il 10 boil. 1t must be then placed in a
cool situation, and on the following day
a thick rich cream. will appear on the
surface Of the milk, (Which is excellent
alsofer desert purpose) this may be taxi
en- and made into butter in the common
way. -
