HEMP AND FLAX.

The new invention for preparing fax
and hemp, is about to produce as im-
portant results as the Cotton Gin pro.
duced in the trade Of the staple Of the
southern States.-There is little or no
room to question the statements on this
subject. Should there beno disappoint-
ment in the progress of the improve
ment, land well adapted to the culture
of hemp and fax, will become almost
as valuable as the cotton lands of the
south. A piece Of Irish linen, selling at
one dollar and twenty-five cents, re-
quires about seven pounds of fax in
the mandatory, which is worth about
fifteen cents per pound, leaving us to
pay 80 dollars for labour that ought TO
be executed ia our own country.

The Meteor.-On Saturday evening
last, about Ten O'Clock meteor, of very
considerable magnitude, was seen in
the heavens, at this place.-Ils general
appearance was globular and uDcom-
monty luminous. 1t moved with great
velocity from northeast to southwest,
and on lis disappearance its explosion
was distinctly heard. 1t Mas visible for
considerable number Of seconds. DUR
ing which time its light penetrated all
our windows, and caused many persons
involuntarily to close their eyes. IL
shone during its continuance with such
a lustre that it completely eclipsed the
lights Of nres and candles-so much so,
that they appeared 10 be as useless for
the purpose Of light as they would be
at noon day.
