\ NEW NiNUFACTURU.

in q late Par,S Journal we find the fol-
lowing account of new manufacture,
which has already acquired considerable
success, and promises 10 be Of great irnPOr-
taIce -
On the borders of the streams and in the
valleys of New Zealand, there grows a
plant which resembles at the same time the
corn-fiag and the aloes. This plant, to
vhichSnaturalists have given the name Of
Phormiua tcnGr, is the hemp of the natives.
They break it with large muscle shells, and
then separate with their nails the hemp
from TIC flax. They weave it afterwards
i;o a sort Of net, like lace, which they
bleachiin the dew. The beauty Of this ia
brio has as onished naviga;ors. Cook, Fo-
rcstcr, and Dumont d'UrviIIc have spoken
of it. Mcssrs. Lisson and Richard desert
bed it in their botanical work on Australia.
Since 1927, several Eaglish merchants
have attempted TO make use of this plant;
capital, mechanical power, nothing was spa
red. But they did not SUCCEED III rlddng
it of the resinous gum which it dsils, AMI
solicniug it enough for weaving. An in
genious counuyman of our own, N. Lien
ard, has just regulated and brought to per-
fcction the attempts which SO far had re-
maincd stationary among the English. He
has established at Pont Remy mannlac-
tory of the Phormium tcnar. The cloths
that were shown at the public exposition
appeared 10 us as beautiful, but more sub
s;antial, more piable, and iyh:er than linen
cloth. They seemed to be appropriate for
sails, and for the covering Of carriages
Amateurs have made and renewed demands
for it. One Of the great properties of the
Phormium is, that it can remain under Wa
ter five, six or seven months, without being
injured. Numerous experiments on ropes
and cables, leave no doubt in this respect.
The factory Of NJ. Licnard, situated at Pont
Remy, employs more than one thousand
work,ucn. Before many months, we are
assured that the grca, increase of this fabric
will cause the number to amount to three
thousand. Before being brought TO tine
weaving state this plant goes through seven
operations, which are so little costly, that
all included. even to the combing, does not
amount 10 six francs the quintal. We re-
peat, that this fact is very important. At
the moment when the cloth manufacture has
falicl in France, when we cannot in any
mari:et maintain Il rivalship with England,
Holland and Belgium, here is fabric which
can and ought to take the lace OF cotton.
This is perhaps a great source OF wealth to
come into France. Marshal CIauScl has
introduced the culture of the Phormium into
Algiers. The government will understand
the economy of its use in tine Navy. In
England, where as yet they only make ca
bIes Of the Phormium, it is preferred to any
other kind of cable. But shall this manu-
tacturc be left to 4 caprice Of rvaIship!
Cannot England shut up New Zealand from
US! Will not the State prolect French
establishment in this islaud?--F<tnch pd-

Under the mistaken no;ion that our
whole country was covered withnexhaus:-
ible forests of pine. the owners and inhab-
tants of the pine districts have allowed them
to be plundcred and wasted in every ina
ginabIe form, without apparently the least
regard for the future wants Of our lncreas-
inc population. lnsuch low estimation has
it been held, that those engaged IN supply
inc our markets with lumber, have never
dreamed, until recently, of charging any
thing for the raw material, being content 10
receive compensation for their labor in the
manufacture and transportation Of 1t TO
market; and many an acre Of pine timber,
which would now be worth, were it in mar
ket. from one to three hundred dollars, has
been rolled into heaps with beech, maple
and hcmock, reduced 10 ashes, and sold
for six cents bushel.

the value of each thousand feet standing in

facts which have collected from sources
on which the fullest reliance can be placed.
The expense of cutting, hauling TO the mills,

The cost of transportation to Albany Oh
the Gencssce Valley Canal, including tolls,

at which the three kinds of lumber, that is,
frs, second, and third qualities, arc now
selling in Albany, is from thirty y-thrcc to
thirtv.lour dollars. | take the price in
the Albany market in making this estimate,
because it is probable that the price there
will continue TO be as low rs in any other,

A neo and Uery important project. "A project
is foot to make the river navgable for the large
size boats. up as far as this place, by means of
slack water, and then construct tow path to
Jonesville, for canal boats, from which place a
canal will be required fifteen miles long, to the
head waters of the st. Joseph River of Maumee,
thereby opening water communication from
Lake Erie to Lake Michigan, across the Peninsu-
la. 1t is thought that the water privileges crea-
ted by damming and locking both rivers will more
than pay the expense Of constructing the canal
and slack water navigation the whole distance.
A company will petition the Legislature at its
next session, for a charter to that effect.
