Cefee.-We learn that an application of ma.
chinery, entirely new, is now in progress of be.
ing established, which will be of great import.
ance to the West Indies; we refer to the clean.
ing of coffee imported in the husk. 1t may not
be generally known that the coffee of commerce
is the seed Of PUPPY berry, not unlike the cher
~. The process TO which it is subjected before
being exported from the countries in which it is
grown is simple, but somewhat tedious, consist
ing of %pulping, washing, and drying in the sun.
1t is also capable of being dried in the berry, in
which state not only is the quality of the seed su-
perior, from the aroma being better preserved,
but it is also less liable to sour, which is some
times caused by the fermenting wash, and is not
subject to be broken into what the trade calls car
rage, and otherwise become less valuable. From
not having the means Of removing the husk how
ever, it has not been imported in this state ex-
cept in small quantities, for the use of those who
know its superior quality. But we are glad to
learn that machinery has been prepared for carry
rying on this branch of trade in Greenland Mills,
in addition to the cleaning of rice. The produce
of the first experiment in cleaning coffee has
been shown Us by Mr. Mac6e, from the superior
appearance of which we are confident that every
West Indian proprietor will soon be Induced to
prefer having his coffee cleaned in this country,
and so far relieve himself of the often troublesome
negligence Of the negro population Greenoch
