MIR. slnck's Flax Cotton.

Some time ago we had occasion to call the At
tention of our readers 70 the wonderful invention
of Mr.. Eli ah Slack Of Henfrew, by which the
coarses hemp, old bagging, jute &c, 10 converted
into the finest fax and lax cotton. As we then
explained Mr.. Slack obtained patent for hiE
processes 80 fer back as the month of June ls4s !;
and, without dsparsgement to the inventions Oh
the Chevslier p. Ciaussen and Mr.. D0nlan, OF
which so much las been said by the Morning
Chronicle and others OF the London and ProylnclA
press, we then took the liberty OF expressing our
opinion that the results produced by Mr. Stacks
processes gave them a title TO rank az equal 10
those Of tho gentlemen referred TO In point Of
value. and superior 10 them ia the matter OF p1l-
olity. Since the appearance OF our notice we are
eratifed to know that the subject has excited
much public attention and no little speculation
on the part OF many individuals largely engaged
in manufactures. la the meantime, however,
Mr. Slack has gone on quietly bat perseveringly
completing his experiments in dyeng, animals
ing and improving the materials upon which he
operates, and specimens Of the proceeds OF these
have been sent TO our Office, and TO experienced
parties all over the country. We have now be-
fore us, we may mention, the product oil piece
OF coare hemp begging, IL the various forms o.
fine fax, fax cotton thread, and animallzed dyed
fax, and we are sure that glance at the articles
referred to will be quite sufficient to satisfy any
upprejudiced observer that the invention, when
fully developed, Is calculated TO effect surprsp5
revolution in the spinning and weaving manaiiE
lures Of this country. In addition, we have rso
bad handed to Us piece of fine lawn nasun'
figured with the fax cotton, and 1t is no exaese
ration to say that the flowers have all the iosne
and glossy appearance Of silk. This, we oene,v'
is the frat time in which the fax cotton has eess
used for the purpose of figuring fine musllnh sno
the result, we understand from practical parties,
is most satisfactory ard conclusive. We nay
iu,t add while noticing this subject thai nag
pendent altogether Of the opinions which may y
entertained az TO the effect which the Sens,~r.,
substitution Of homemade fax for saye'evs-.,
cotton is calculated TO produce. we consider,
the invention by which the material Is enlm .t

says that it is gradually recovering from the late
prolonged state of war, and that, under the super

a credtable condition, with considerable surplus
on hand.
The Packet anticipates that the troubles between
that country and Brazil will be settled amicably,
but at the same time speaks of hostilities on the

to the latter building upon alleged rental lands The
