THE SESSION or coNGREs !.

The most inattcnti.e observer cannot
but have remarked the calmncss, order,
and general propricty which have cha
racterized the proceedings Of the two
Houses of Congress, thus far, during
the present session. The contrast, in
this respect, between the temper of the
two Houses at the last session and the
present, though no doubt due in part to
the effect of time upon all human agi-
tations and excitemsnts, is, we pre-
sumo, mainly owing 10 the influence Of
the pacifymg measures comprised in
the general phrase the Compromise, /"
with which the last session closed, and
to the calm but firm determination
shown, as well by the Senate and House
of Representatives. as by the Executive
Department Of the Government. to re-
gard that adjustment as final settles
meht, to be enforced, on the part of the
General Government, by all the aa tho
rity which the Constitution and Laws
placed in its hands, at the same time
that it enjoined upon the Chief Magis-
tfate of the United States to /" take
care that the Laws shall be faithfully
executed"
The progress in the public business
in Congress has hardly ben inswcra-

Great Discoveries. = Tvs diseu


ries or inventions are annoduced in the
London Morning Chronicle. which, II
real. win exert a vast influence upon
the political. the economical, Che moral,
and the social condition Of the United
States, but especially the cotton grow
Ing stafcs One Of these inventions is
that Of a Mode Of preparing fax. by a
combination Of mechanical and ehemi-
cal meats. which, at a very trifling ef-
pense, renders the fibre st to be made
up in fabrics Of either the greatest
coarseness or the greatest fineness--ei-
Their the coarsest canvass or Brussels
lace. The other invention isone adapt
ing fax fibre to cotton or woolen orsilk
machinery. or for mixing it with these
materials: The Chronicle says that
from one hundred and twenty five
pounds Of fax, one hundred pounds Of
a material, identical with clean cotton,
can be produscd for less. than half a
crown. The mixture Of wool and fax
forms fabric exceedingly durable, and
while wool costs As. 3D., the fax pre-
pared and ready for spinning may be
obtained for Cd. per pound, so that
with fax and wool spun together in
equal quantities. the cost would be re-
duced by nearly one half.
The present price Of cotton in Eng
land is about SD.
The New York Tribune says, that
fax might be probably grown in near
ly every State in the Union for an av.
erage Of 90 per hundred, or sl2O pei
ton, preceded machinery existed BY
which il could be broken and cleared
at a cost Of not more than $50 per TOM
Even now good fax is worth but lit
tle more than half the price Of cotton
In this market, although all know thst
the fibre Of the former is by far the
stronger and more enduring. With
the best machinery and ample demand
we believe flax could be produced or
the vast preries If the West to goot
profit at si00 per ton, and delivered il
any part Of New York or New Englatit
for sl2O, while good cotton, so deliv
cred, will nov command $3.50. w,
say flax could be delivered at the mill
for $3.50 per ton, if machinery wer,
common whereby it could be thorough
| ~ dressed and all The fibre saved at
cost Of less than $50 per ton; but y,
trust il need not be sold for less thai
$3.50 to $500 per ton. Even at $500
provided it can be manufactured as ca
silly and as rapidly as cotton, or an,
thing like it, an opening clearly exist
for new manufacturing business o
signal profit and promise.

also attracted the attention Of the Paris
