At a recent meeting of the New York Farmers' Club some remarks were made by several of the members on the aubject l the growth of flax add the manufariturc of (men. Mr. Mbios stated the efforts made msny years sgo in France and England to cau flat" beepuri- W rnnciiiriy-whh nie1 facility of cotton the high prrmiuins offer- ed for such a discovery that the French, by very nice examination, had learned that the flax is composed of filaments about three inches long so Isped on each other as to ap pear fans fibrei but which by - chemical stents, would be separated into llieir short oi iginal staples of three inches, without niurinr then strength, and thus rendurod susceptible of all advantages of the cotton staple for spinning by machinery.

Still we would in tile ihe ingenious men of our country to look at iu Immense wools' be tbe advan tage if all men could command at the low price of cotton goods, tha delightful lineu sheet, shirt, towel, &c. .- Z Mr. WkEMi. had endeavored, tow -ads the conclii"n of war of 1812, to bring; about the machiue spinning of flax.

Our cotton remained nrotected by an hundred pef tent duty and it thrive although the price of a ysra of. rli'th. fell from twenty-five cents to six Or seven cents'. There was a fall of price in tha raw cotton amounting to some two cents a yard. Chinett flax waa mentioned by Ml. Chapim as very important for us to know.
