We were shown on Saturday speci.
men OF kentucky Hemp prepared by a
short and cheap process. Ii had the soft.
ness and fneness Of raw silk. 1t was fine
enough for the most delicate handkerchief.
We were also shown other specimens Of
Hemp calculated for making all the goods
for which Flax is now used and at less than
half the present cost. The discoverer of
this process, a gentleman of Louisville,
is now here on his way to Europe, for the
purpose of carrying out his plans. 1t is
almost impossible to conceive the immense
Importance 10 the Hemp-growing regions
OF this country of discovery which will
enable US TO manufacture the finest as well
as coarsest linen from this production Of
the West, Our importations of Linen
Goods for last year amounted TO about
81 900, 900, the whole of which, if this
improvement is practicable, will be retain.
ed at home in future, and flow into the
pockets Of the Hemp-growers and manu-.
iacturers and the thousands to whom they
will be lhus enabled to give steady EN-
ployment. Y. Tribune.

sported $40, GOO in diamonds in her attire,
while ten and twenty thousand dollars
worth of"pebbles" were quite common.
There were no less than seven hundred
people present at this bali. The service
of plate upon the supper-table is valued at

FISH, FLESH, Fowls AND VEGETABLES.
1t is singular fact that fatal diseases
are at the present moment, prevalent
amongst members Of all the above named
tribes in Europe. Cattle have long been
afflicted with distemper which has des.
troyed numbers; grouse have died in humid
reds Of some malady, which has been var
lously described; and the murrain among
potatoes has destroyed the crops over a
great part of Europe. 1t is now stated
that plague ofsome description has bro.
ken out amongst the fish in the rivers, mum
bers of pike, cells, and other fish being
