It has been for some years past a matter of notoriety that British and . Irish linen manufacturers , and also manufacturers of iempen goods , have materially suffered from a deficient supply of flax and hemp . This state of deficient supply arises from the fact that the cultivation of flax in Great Britain has materially decreased instead of increased with the growing requirements , of our linen manufactures . Our national commercial statistics show that , out of 150 , 000 tons of flax' annually cohsumedin the ' TJnited Kingdom , not more than 50 , 000 tons are of home growth . In addition to this enormous importation of flax for our linen manufactures , we have also imported hundreds of thousands of quarters Of linseed every year for home consumption . The linen manufacturers of the United Kingdom have deelared that they are ready to take any ' quantity which can . be grown at home , and at such prices as will be more re-¦ munerative to the agriculturist than the usual produce of his lands . The promoters of the National Flax Company are prepared to prove to the agriculturists of this country that no more profitable crop can be cultivated than that of flax , whenever their system of rettbries , and improved mechanical treatment of flax fibre , shall be adopted in the localities of its growth . The main feature of the company's plan is , that it will take the trouble of preparing the flax for market entirely off the hands of the grower , by becoming the purchasers of the crop , and thus leaving the grower entirely free froxa . the hazards of bad harvesting weather , and at the same time ensuring him . a certain handsome profitable return for all the flax he can produce and-deliver to the compariy * s depots and rettories ; The company ' s operations Will also embrace the whole of the requisite process of pre- * paring the flax and similar fibrous substances ready for the spinner . The system of preparation adopted by this company is the subject of a patent , the invention of Mr . George Albomarle Gator , a gentleman who has made the cultivation of flax and its , preparation for the spinner his especial study for many years past , he having fully demonstrated the great economy of labour and the very great improvement in the quality of the flax fibre , which 1 a the result of his improved system of flax preparation . The system will be round fully detailed In the "Explanatory Pamphlet on Flax Cultivation and Preparation , " to be had free from the Secretary of the company and its agents ; in which will also be found an exposition of the great importance of tho homo cultivation of flax , as insuring a regular supply of raw material to tho very important national , manufactures of Jinen and hempen goods ; half-stuff for paper-makers ; and the importance of the seed for linseed oil and oil-eako . As an example of tho intended operations of the com * pany , tho following is quoted from the full prospectus of the company : — By rettories will be understood establishments where the preparation of flax-fibre from tlie raw plant for the spinner ana manufacturer will bo carried out through nil its stages . It Is estimated that two rettorlos , oil tho scale proposed as tho base of operations , will require eight patent machinos , and , if , constantly at work ior ( say ) 301 ) days in tho year , will produoo annually 1 , 200 tons of flax-nbro , 7 , 000 quarters of Unseed , and 000 tons of tows 2 and allowing £ 50 per ton to bo obtained-for the ilax-flbro , 00 s . p 6 r quarter for tho linseed , and AH per ton for tho tows , there is a gross yield of # 80 . 000 . Assuming that It will take as muoh as ton tons of flaxstraw unseeded to produce ono ton of flax-fibre , at a -cowt of 4 < f . por ton , and 18 ? . por ton of flbro for all oxpunaoa , tho total outlay will bo 00 , 0002 ., leaving a balance to bo divided of 15 . 000 Z ., or nearly 30 per cent , upon G ! i , OQQl , ( tho coat of tho building's , plant , and machinery , together with a Hufllolunt working capital for two rottorloB ) , which In wholly irroepcctlvo of tho dlvidond that may bo oxpectod iV . om lloonco clues from other rottorlos ; and an tho operations of tho company aro extended , the dividends will bo in proportion . Tlio peculiar ndvnntngoa of Solby , in Yorlcshlro , and tho eun'ouncllng flax-growing dlstrlotu , have deoldud tho oompnn y on oetablleljuig their first rottory In that neighbourhood . A prospective enterprise of this company being tho pultivatlon of ilax on roolalmablo lands , of which in tho Unltoi Kingdom tUoro are somo mlUIona of aproa , It is oonulderpU the company may bonoflolally \ uvn if a attention to tho aoqnrwjmonti In duo course , Of an available property In such lands .

Again , the fast-extending application of the power-loom to . flaSS fibre will greatly increase the _ der mand for flax . All- considered * the circumstances of the times combine to establish the present enterprise as the nucleus of a new branch bfjbusiness , and amost valuable auxiliary to the farming and manufacturing producers oi the United Kingdom , and one which is well calculated to still further develope her prosperity .

The improved system adopted by the last Patent Law Amendment Act having greatly increased the number of patents taken out by aiid removed various obstacles in the way of inventors , and the Acts of Parliament lately passed limiting the liability of shareholders in public companies , have now rendered the fprmation ^ of such an association not only comparatively easy , but have also afforded the means by which it may become remunerative to its . members , without incurring any unnecessary risk . The Company has been formed for the purpose of assisting inventors , and its contemplated operations comprise : ¦ The taking out of patents and registrations for inventors , and , when required , advancing the money for this The advancing sums of money on approved security to . inventors and patentees , for the purpose of enabling them to develop and complete their patents and inventions . The purchase ana sale of inventions . and patents ; The selling of patents and inventions on commission-The investigation of the value and merits of inventions , and the granting of certificatqs thereof . The devotion of a portion of the company's premises , for the purpose of receiving models and drawings of inventions and patents . . . The keeping a registry of all patents taken out by the Company , and the furnishing a monthly list thereof to all subscribers . t One of the great objects of the Company will be at all times to watch Over and preserve the rights of . patentees , and , if possible to obtain a repeal of the stamp duties affecting-inventors , or , if not ablo to accomplish ' this , to obtain a great reduction in the amount of such duties . All information may be obtained at the office , and the deposit may be remitted to the bankers or to the Secretary .
