      _andl ; the , , true ; policy " . of- a wise yG 6 yernment would be to make , the one , in all _^ caaes _/ ' _. _secbndary and _subsidiary . to the other . . The sudden rise and equally _auddeii fall of i _[ Ul _/ _atates that have depended mainly "upon commerce for their wealth ; and .

Within the ' . list , half _tfentury fan enormous aiid . unparalleled ' Wade ; 'has grpwn up among us , resting entirely upon'ihe ' supply

      of a material grown in far , distant regions . ' To promote the successofthai . trade , bind- ' avocations connected with it , the whole ' commercial and fiscal' policy of the country has been grk ; dually altered and adapted by successive _' statesmen ' . Manufacturesasumed the ' supremacy , and the tables of Exports and Imports became of much m 6 re importance in -the eyes of bur rulers , than the condition of the people . It is , to be sure , assumed , that ' when Exports and Imports are large , the other must necessarily be of a satisfactory nature ; ' but that is a mistake which needs' no rectifies , ' .

      tion to those who ; are practically conversant with the workings of our present _systtshi . How often large' _Eipbrls are _. inade at ruinous prices , whicli leave neither living wages to the workman , nor fair profit to the employer , in order to force sales , we heed hot say . How often a large portion " of our / boasted Imports merely go tP add to the alread y " numerous conveniencies and luxuries of . the wealthy classes is _equally evident . Thestream of riches flows far away from the dwellings of \ he poorbecause _ihdiisteious classes . ; ' 'They may see , - but they taste them not 7 " ., /•

      Feverish , fluctuating , and partial , however , as , was the prosperity produced , by our _manufacturing and _commercial system , the system itself _' h _' adgrown'tb be , in _the . meantime , one of the natural necessities . ' Millions of ' capital were embarlced in mills and machinery _^ Millions of individuals , directly and indirectly , dependedupbn the suppl y of cotton for . a subsistence . Hence it was , with no small ! degree of alarm , tbat reflective men looked to the impending danger of the supply of that material being cut oiF , or so materially diminished as to be inadequate to * , supply' the _, wants of the pr > pulation hitherto . employed _^ h ; working it Up . This danger arose from two _causea--one accidental , the other essential . The last cotton crop Avas ari exceedingly bad one , and , in

      consequence of the defective supply , ' ' prices , had risen to such a height as to check , purchases , except under strong compulsion . . The present year ' s crop , it is now understood , will be at least equally _iscanty , so that a short supply and highprices must be _, the rule' for . some time to come , from this cause alone _., ' _, If , however , the occasional failure ofthe cotton . crop , was all that had to be feared or endured ; it is clear that the evil , however severe , could only be temporary m its duratiphs . With more favourable seasons ,. more plentiful supplies , would . have been poured in , and the wheels of . our gigantic manufacturing machinery once more set in motion , ' ' "''¦ - "' ' , ; : " - : . 7 7 ' **

      But . a more serious danger menaced us in the growing demand for American . cotton by American manufacturers . They do not see any reason why they should : not work up into textile fabrics the raw produce of their . own ¦ State _^ , . and , sell them to other nations , as . well asEngland . No more _do-we . 7 , It is-very _ua ' - tural , » and very proper . Nay _,, ; more ,. if they can manufacture if in the mid & t of the very plantation where it _isgrbwn ; _s 6 much the better ,, because the finished fabric , will be produced all the cheaper , and . cheapness . being the sine qua non of the age , they will : achieve

      the high destiny of driving everybody else out of the markets of the world . But what is to become of us if this takes place ? If , instead ofsendihg us rawcbttbn to b . e _^ spuh an _^ _'byen into shirts and dresses for people in every quarter of the globe , they keep the cotton to themselves , and suppl y bur old customers , what are we to do ? A grave _fand ; _seripus question . Manchester . set about answering it . ' in its own way . _^ FirBfr it tried to persuade Governmeht to send out a commission _tbsae what could be

      done for procuring a supply of theraw _. niatierial from British India ., A as to , the various places [ from whence a supply could be drawn , Manchester came to the conclusion that'British India was the only place . But Goyernment refused to be at the expense or trouble 7 > f doing this . _, Accbrdihgly , Manchester has taken both upon herself , and , by a subscription of some three thouaan ' d pounds , has sent a Commissioner of its own to' spend two years in J [ ndia , _;^ ith hia _note-book _^ and pencils .. ; : . ; ., '" '' ' "' ' " _-- ¦ -:- ¦ ¦ -

At i lastthe . prosperity . of both ' aretobetrulyidentified andlabpur _^ bothin -town and . country _^ is to be set in motion , profitably for all parties . '¦ iif all these promises should be realised , it yrill ihark one of the most important eras in bur history . In . _orders that jour- _readera may

      judge of the probability of their being so , we wiU" condense the detailed -statement of our contemporary on the subject . ,, ,.. litis stated , firstly , . that anew mode of preparing flax for the : manufacturers .: has been _discovered , by which ; the dilatory , costly _^ ; and wasteful _procesa of . steeping is , _altogether avoided . The present , method of preparing the plant for use , whether .. according to the ordinary mode , or under _SHENck _' s patent system of steeping in hot water , involves a serious loss of time and labour , and is Tery . detrimental to the quality , of the fibre . ¦ ; _The-flax receives various impurities , ; , which have afterwards to be removed by the no . less tedious , and

      pernicious operation of . bleaching , ; and the conser _qiience is , 7 that , 7 by the time , it reaches , the manufacturer's hands , itis both enhanced in cost ; and deteriorated in strength . and ; substantial value . < This formidable hindrance to flax manufacture , it is stated , is now completely removed . ' By thef simple and . ingenious invention , spoken of , steeping is entirely dispensed . with ,, arid ho chemical agents , being employed iin the process , ! the fibre is , handed oVerto the spinner in . a . perfectly natural ; and . unimpaired condition , free from dirt and discolouration , and retaining ; aU : those oleaginous properties on which its strength , so much depe _" ads .= : . _- ;¦ _-.-: ¦ :..,- _.,, ,. _; _- .. . . . . . '¦ ¦

      • That is step the first in these . discoveries , airid'is invented : ; by , Mr . _*> Donlan ., The next , invented by Chevalier P . ; . CLAUSSEN ,, ; is more . extraordinary and more . important . _; He has | obviated onie of the main-, obstacles , to the extended use of linen fabrics- — -namely , their cold feel , - and has succeeded . in ; manufacturing the unateeped flax into various ' descriptions of ma * tierial , which possess respectively , all the warmth of wool , thesoftness . pf cotton ,-and the , glossi ' nessofsilk ! « . _« and which ; " adds the CAronfcfe , " so closely resemble these ; seyeral fabrics , both

      tothe eye and the touch , that we should neither , credi t , the fact ourselves ,: nor task the faith of pur . readers by the ; assertion , ; had . we not before ns actual samples of tbe result prjpduced , exhibiting , _intone and . the same bundle of : fibres . i the . raw flax ; at one end , and the . quasisilk _, or cotton -.. at the other . ' _' . The cost of converting unsteeped flax into " cotton ' , ' is onl y seven-sixteenths . of . a penny per pound , and the difference ) between , the price of the flax when thus prepared , and - . that . of raw cotton , is estimated as ; being . ftem one-thirdto , onehalf in favour of the former .,

      The crowning : discovery has still to be mentionedi _" : Many admirable-inventions areeither lost altogether ; for , practical purposes , or are but slowly i adopted in , general -. use , because they , require _< a . totally . different kind of machinery from that which ' exists for producing the articles . When we think of the ; immense capital sunk-in the mills ; factories , and _workshopa . _cbnnected with pur _pjresent cotton and _silkmanufaotures , itis obvious , that . if the new material had required ,, new _Machinery , it would have interposed . * formidable , : if not ; _ihsurmpuntable , ; obstacle to its general use ., But

      it has been happily . ascertained , ; , that . the . _ex-, isting machinery of , qux , cotton _^ iils . is . adapted to the new material . i- j The . same ; invention which dispenses with the ; _steeping , render * the flax suitablefor a process which . / adapts it tp the present machinery .. The inventor took a quantity of his _'Jflax cotton "* to . - Manchester , placed it in the hands „ of , a spinner , and _. the spindles , it is stated , took tp it as kindly as : if

      it and they . had been made expressly for each other . . We . observe , ; by . _thei"CAron *' c / e of Wednesday ; that Chevalier , _Ciaiissen again proceeded to Manchester on Tuesday ; ni ght , . with introductions to the Chairman of . the Chamber of Commerce , and Messrs . Ashworth and Shuttlbwobth , extensive manufacturers , for the purpose of testiug . the matter still far thei * , by carrying but , upon _. a large scale , _aperies of experiments , with _. respectto the adaptation of flax to the cotton machinery . .. ..

      Should these experiments terminate successfully , and the other , inventions turn - out : to be in extended practice what they are described to be in experiments , itis _impoasibleto _exag- ; gerate-their ; importance , . iand -their beneficial bearing atthe present . moment . The doubt and anxieties as to the source from whence our manufacturers may , infuture , draw their supplies of raw . material , willbe at once dispelled while , at the . same time , ' a new and highlyprofitable occupation will be _. opened up to , our agricultural ; population .

The substitution of flax for cotton will , of course enormously increase the , demand , and the experience of Mr . Warnes , at Trimiugham , in Norfolk , demonstrates the numerous

      pecuniary and sooial advantages to be derived from cultivating this crop . The results of that experience for many years may be summed up , as rendering the _faiiner independent of forei gn _icattle , food , and manure ; . ensuring the maintenance upon the same space of double or treble the number of cattle usually kept ; the keeping of the landin a profitable state of cultivation , ' -and preventing the possibilit y ;¦¦ of its deterioration _. In addition to ; this , its effects are to be traced in ! the increased employment and wages of persons ofbpth sexes , and all aees * ¦ _Ae promotionof industry _^ frugality _^ and ebntentment ; a reduction of poor rates and _dhnt nution of crime , and an increased consumption of articles of food aud _Nothing .

      ensnared into _^ connection with plans that were ; , far more tfoolish . and contemptible than they were , dangerous oi * criminal . Tha parfcppns of Powell , aid Davis ; are not likely soon , to , lose , . tiie . character ' that . " . attaches itself tosuch _^ aconnection , _ehditiatbbefeardthat use has jbwd en _^ d _! them in the practice . Henceforth it would seemfthat . we must regard Po « _iice . Espionage aa phe ' of . the means of government habitually employed by our liberal loving and constitutional Whigs . '

      -We ., caunot understand the decision of the Magistrate . Supposing that , the ' . assault charged . against ., Mr . Fuzzen . had , been fully and incontestibly proved , . the ordinary course , in such _. cases ,, is , to impose a fine , proportioned to the violence ofthe assault , and the nature of the circumstances nnder which it took place . Mr . Combe , however , apparently thought ; there was something inoreto find out , and therefore bound over the defendant in

      sureties rto appear , on a future day , and an . swer any charges which , may . in the meantime be hunted up -or ; concocted by his Police prosecutors _/ f We should ; not be surprised , if by . the time Mr . Combe has the matter again brought before him , a _midsized plot is hatched , with ; all the . usual : blunderbusses , drums , thunder , raw ; head and bloody bones , usual on such occasions . We all know , * to our cost , that policemen are only human , and , of course , _^• hen , their ,. employers set them on the watch in plain . clothes at Chartist meetings they understand what is wanted . What more natural tban that they should find it ?

      We call upon the middle classes and the community at large , to stand between a calumniated , maligned , and oppressed class , and this most improper and dangerous use of the Police force . They are bound to exert themselves to put a stop ; to it froin a sense of selfpreservation . Who knows how soon the same weapon may _, be turned . against other agitations unpleasing to _those . in poffer ? The sole

      safe guard of ihe rights of all daises consists in their uniting to uphold , in all their purity and strength , those laws which guarantee the right of free thought , speech , and action to all Englishmen . . That right has , in this case , been most grossly ! and carelessly , violated ] _*? » _^* rus * » _tb _^ t while it is met by _immediate resistance , and exposure , it will also be made the / subject of Parliamentary inquiry at the . opening of the Session .

      In _conclusion—^ without knowing anything of the facts of the case further than appears in the . , police report—we . would say te aU parties who profess to be Chartists , that anything approaching either to violence or to secresy can only have the effect of damaging and _retardingvthe cause , they ostensibly wish to promote . ; The People ' s Charter embodies objects , and rests npon principles ao noble and so just that-they , are ; eertain to he carried if their advocates , act in consphance with both . We feel ' confident we have the superiority equally in principle and argument . Why

      should any one throw away that advantage by having recourse to less worthy weapons ? Above all , we say , the man or menare . enemies to democratic progress , who play into the hands of those in power by forming organisations , or agitating in a manner that tends to the inference ; there are concealed objects in view , or secret agencies at work . Let ' us have everything fair , and above board , and fight the battle for the Charter in the honest , open , and manl y manner which distinguishes our name and nation . " * f - " _, _}>^ p
