Captain French. II appeared that on the arrival OF
the ship on Friday in the lower bay, the prisoners

that the crew had shipped here to go to Mobile
from there TO Europe and return to this port JUS

countryhed looking person walked mp to Justice

Think of one who loves thee only.

Ma. BIDDLE NOT YET aoSE.-This distinguished
man did not sail in the Great Western yesterday.
The announcement was only little premature. He
could not get ready in time for the Great Western
and it is now believed that he will not sail till some
time in the summer with the British Queen. AT
present he enjoys elegant leisure principally at
his beautiful villa at Andalusia, the western banks
of the Delaware, half way between Trenton and Phi
ladelphia
Mr.. Biddle, since his earliest years. has ever had
a love-a passion-an enthusiasm for agriculture
gardening, and such like pursuits. His villa is
of the most lovely spots in Pennsylvania, and he
spends much of his time in raising horticultural pro-
ductions-even cabbases by way of rivalry, we
suppose, to the early pursuits of Mr. Van Buren,,
who since he found more cabbage heads among the
democracy, has abandoned his youthful Undertook
occupation Mr. Biddle takes pride in cutivating
the finest fruits escuents and every species of vege
table production. His grapes are the best in Pha-
delpha-and as cultivator of the silk worm, he has
already surpass ed Burlington and the whole quaker
interest W no consider their salvation in danger ever
since.
No man can enjoy the evening of his days, but .

and undoubted virtue. ! pity poor Mr.. Van Burer

ORIGIN AND CULTURE.

The Silk worm is native of China, and the
culture Of silk, i'll ancienttimes, was entirely con-
fined 10 that country, where, are told, that the
empress, surrounded by their women, employed
their leisure hours in the Keeling Of silk, and in
the weaving of silk, tissues and wells. Vast
quantities of raw silk are annually imported into
Great Britain from Bengal, China Italy, and
Turkey. The raw silk thus imported is, accord
ing to the Register of Arts aud Science, too slen-
der i'll the thread for The weaving Of most articles;
the greater part of it is therefore sent to mill to
be Mro,cn, as it is termed. All kinds Of silk,
which arc simply drawn from the cocoons by
reeing, are termed raU silk, but are distinguish
cd by several denominations, according to the
number Of fibres which composed the thread.
As raw silk is very rarely used without being
dyed il is necessary 10 prepare the thread for that
process, by giving it twist which enables it to
Withstand the effect of the hot liquor, without
separating the fbres, or Turing itup. The silk
yarn employed by the weavers for the wool or
welt Of The stufs they fabricacI composed Of two
or more threads Of The raw silk, and undergoes
a slight twisting by machine. In the weaving
Of silk stockings, the thread employed is of the
same kind, but contains greater number Of the
single threads, according TO the strength. and
quality of the work --Orga,'zine silk is compo-
sed of two, three, or four threads Of raw silk
united, BY first twisting separately each compo-
nent thread in mill, in right handed directions;
and then, by subsequent operation, twisting the
two threads together ID contrary direction.
The Chinese will not even pack silk for ex-
porlaon in damp weather; that is to say, unless
they are hurried to do it by the strangers who
have business with them, and wish to get their
ships away sooner ,hal ordinary. DobcN says,

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF SILK Growers
We learn from gentleman in this city, who is
deeply interested in the silk culture, that Con
yention to promote the cultivation and manufacture
Of silk in the United States is to be held in this
city on the 10th of December next, at which it is
expected that there will be All attendance Of dele
gates from every Congressional district in the
Union, as well from the Territories and the
Districto fColumbia. This will be the most import
ant as we'll as the mo st numerous assembly ever
known in this countryside culture being destined
to become one of the most extensive branches of
American industry.
1t has been suggested that the distant States
and Territories should appoint their representa-
tves and delegates in Congress members of this
Convention, as they will necessarily be in Wash
ington at the time, and can then attend the sittngs
Of the Convention without prejudice 10 the public
business.
Arrangements are being made to accommodate
as many as 1000 delegates, and for the exhibition
of the many specimens Of American manufacture
ed silks to be brought in competition for the very
valuable prizes SO generously offered by the
American Silk Society.
1t is desirable that the various silk companies
in the country Immediately appoint their delegates,
and announce their names in the agricultural or
silk papers. and forward copy of the paper to
the Society at Washington, so that correct list
Of the delegates may be made in anticipation of
the Convention meeting; and every newspaper in
the country favorable to silk culture should pub
lish this or some similar notice of the Convention
early as possiblc.-Nat. Int.
