The Lish Flax Trade. (From the Dublio Monthly Journal of Industrial Pro- 8] We extract the following article on the inte rest- ing subject of “The War, as it affe:ts Irish Flax Production,” from the pen of Mr. James Ms Adam, Beifest:—— bet nia asa grest agriculteral conntry, has for many years fur vished these islands with large quan- tities of certuin articles of general use, the suddea cessation of whose import has materially affected different branches of cur tra The chief items of i yt have been grain,'flax, flax-seed, hemp, With the second and third of t eve only we pow propose to deal, in considering the in- flven e which the existiog war may have upon tae cultivation of the flax plaut in belsod.

Fvance, for example, imports 14,000 tons annually from that country, and Belgiam 2,300 tons. It is evident that tbe consumption of flax has very mach in- creased of Jate years in Great Britain and Ireland, for we fiud that, while the annnal importation of foreign sorts had risen from 66 644 tons, in tne firat five yea’s, to 81.217 in the last five, the prodactioa same interval, from a yearly ave age of 14,000 tons, to an average ot more than 30,000 tons. Thus, in round nambers, the quantity of flax ébre consumed in the linea manufacture of Great Britain and Ireland was, fron 1843 to 1848, 80,000 tovs snnually, and from 1849 to 1853, 110,000 tons. .To this consumption, toreign flax contsibuted in the firat period 824 per veut., and io the second 733 per cent... .fhe home production has, therefore, been gaining ground on the foreigo supply; and last year Ireland furnished 44000 tous, while foreign couotries con- tributed 94,000, ao that the provortion of the latter to the entire consumption of 1853 was reduced to 68 per cent. It ts much to be regretted, however, that with the great acknowledged cavabilities .of our island for the production of flex, the United Kingdom is ely dependent upon foreign states for this raw mat- rial, and more especially eo sine so great @ proportion of the extraveous sapply is from a country hike Russia, whose potitical constitatioa is so much at variance with ours as conisually to threaten an interruption o? rejutions, while uer com mer: ial system is 0 restrictive a3 to deprive us of the benefit of exchanging our mavufactares for her agricultural juctions. In order to ascertain the extent to which flax migh; be grown in Ireland, a3 @partof the regular coppicg rotation, some fasts may now be put forward. Tue entire quantity of ‘grown in 1853 was 175,495 acres, or one to every 76 of arable lard. Of this area, Ulster gave 161,216 acres, or one in every 21} of arable land. Had tue other provinces prodaced flax in a similar proportion, the quantity grown would nave reacied nesrly 600,000 acres. But in Ulster itself, we find e070€ counties producing much less flax than the rest. Six counties of thas proviace varied from one acre of ffx in every 31 of arable land, to one acre ip every 18; Cavan had one acre in Gas 31; An- tim, one in 43, and Fermanagh, one in 72, Taking Donegal, Derry, Mouaghan and Armagh as the four greatest flex growing counties, we find that en acre of flax is there grown to. every fifteen of arable |. Supposing all the rest of Ireland to Bas the plaut in jhe same proomtim, we should, ave @ total area of a 0.000 acres. But, aa! in many aistricts tne soil is lexs suitable to flax than for other cro,a, we may adhe-e to the figure of 600,060 acres as representing the probable annua area whith Ireland might, with advantage, calti® vate. Toking five ews. us the average yield, this would farnieh 150,000 tons of fibre, or about 40,000 tons over the present consum tion of Great B-itain and Ireland. It is very evident, therefore, tiat were the "growth of flux to extend to the limit in‘ed out, ¥e could replace toe entive import of asian flax, and have a large surplas to export to France, Belyinoy and other countri-s, now consu- mers of she Rassiau aricle. Puttiog this 150,000 tons at £45 per ton, average value, it would amouat to £6,750,000. ' Bat this is votali. Every acre of flux wil! yield one and a half quarters of seed. We Dave already seen tia’ we it % 630,000 quarters apvus)ly from abroad, and to ts shonld ba added abcut $0,000 tons of ml-caké, which represents 570,000 quarters more—say, in all, 1,200,000 quar- tera At the above rate of yielJ, the Irieh crop would give 900,000 quarters, which would sapply tae | place of the foreign import, and leave a surylus for exportation. The value, at. 48s. per quarter, would | amount to £2,160,000, which, if added to tie value of fibre, wou'dxzive nine millions sterling as the annual sum which [relaud might derive f-om the The object of the toregoing calculations is to show that the British and Irish liaen minnfac: ture might be recdered completely independent of Rustia, snd, toa great extent, of otuer countries also, for the supply of raw material; and that cat- tle-ferders of the sister island might also obtain all the oileske they require, made from Irish seed, if the cultivation of the flax plant were extended in Ireland, agit might be, throughout the length and breadth of the teland. The Royal Flax Society of Beltast bas been unremi ‘tingly ring to this end since 1841, and it is most satisfactory to observe that tbe area in flax nas in:reaved’ from 58,312 acres, in 1646, to 176,495 acres im 1853; the pro- viuces of Leiaster, Munster, and Connaught naving imereased during the same period from 4611 acres , to 14,279. Still. when we find the smallest conat; in Ulster (Armagh) growing ves'ly nalf as mac! more thap these t’ ree provinces tal together, it mast be coe that taere is plenty of wok for to do. With reference to the suitability of coarse Irish flex for those textile fabrics whose raw material is now furnished by Rusia, little doub; can exist that, in the event of a large surplus beiug availible for exportation from Inland, it would be freely taken tor this pe pose. As the growth hus increased tue export bas imc ae tit passu, So tland ia the great seat of Covsumption of coarse flax, and we find that country has received from Beifast alone :-- In 1850... 634 tons. 2,236 “« 1862.. ber «3S es and, sltnough the exoort fell in 1853 to 1,754 tonr, this decrease may be attribnted to the very wreatad- ditional demand caused by 42 700 apindl-a being add ed to the Trish faotoriea last year, whien absondo the givater part of the home: ao fibre, Io the firet six months of the presén Pew tpg tons of | Bax and tow wege shipped from Jand, against 1,252 ton in the same period of 1853.

Shipments have also been made during the list three years to Belgium, Germany, and the United Brates of America. In fact, the Irish fibre is found to possess superior merits for spinning to Rassian, and there is ‘ittle doubt that it would almost entire- Ip supplact the latter if p oduced in suffluient qaaa- thy. tt is deeply to be regretted thas Irish flax growers have hitherto conficed teir actention to the production of fibre alone. Irleland is, among all flax growing countries, the only one which per- sists in sacrifi ing the seed. And this-is the more extraordinary when we tind that the Ea-t Ladies, pcg fo Sicily, and other countries, cultivate tie plant for the seed atone, the fibre being totally lost to industrial purposes. It is trae thatia ertain districts of Ireland the seed is saved, and that the area sown with seed of home grovth ts annually in- creasing; yet the fact ia patent that the great bulk of Irish flax is steeped without the seed being pre- viously separated, and last year the less by this wasteful practice cannot bave been Irss than half & million sterling. Ir is to ve hoped that Trish farm- ers will become more alive to their troe interests, and that they will, ere long, economise this valaable product, A pressing necessity at prevent exists, arising from the Russian war. Owing to the blockade inthe Bultic, we cannot e: ve the usual supply of seed for next y ; and, if no means be devised for meeting this emergeacy, the result, a very shors sowing of flux, would be m st calamitous to onr great stale miautacture, wa le it would, at the same time, deprive «he flux growere of « great ource of profit in the prodaction of ac a:ticle which has reasbed avery bigh price. In addition to the value of the fibre, enhanced, as it has been, by the war, we may place the seed, whic, from the same cause, is fully 40 per cent desrer, for the manuiactore of oil, than at this veriod of iat year. Let us hope, then, taat Irish farmara will be wise in time, and wi'l be provided egainss all emer gencies, by saving the seed of this year’s orop, both for the next year's sowing and for conversion inte oil and cake. Ifthe Russian war ehould stimulate an ia: reased sowing of flax,and ehould establis: the sowing of seed cn a firm basis, the expense, so far as regarde Ireland, will be amply compensated by a permanent addition to national wealth. Orime In Fianec. [From Galignani’s Measengor.] The Cvart of arsizes of the Meurtae his just baen occupied three days in trying a man n2med Marchal and his w fe Marguerite, for having poisoned Marie Avene, a previous wife of Warshal, aed Etie Geoffroy, first husband of the woman. Tae the indictment were as follows: —-Merchal was born at Angowont, im 1502, of a family of, for his station in life, considerable wealth. In 1822 he exte ed the army, but after three years’ eervice was discharged, owing to his haviog f:a-tured nis wrist. He taen took up bis res ocuce in his native village, and nas resided in it ever since. He wasat one time .am2 keeper to the Princess de Poix. He subseqnently entered the service of M. Coevandier in the sime | capacity, and remained in it until arrested. He for | Bufore enter- come t me filled the offise of mayor. ing the army he had sn illegitima‘e child by a wo- man bamed Aubart. On his retusp he found tat | this wowan had married a man named Vioceat. He, on bis part, married a young woman named Boar- nier,and had two sous by her—one of whom ia now studying for the ciurc., He lived quietly with her for some years—tbough it was koowa that he was of exceecingly licentioas conduct. To- wards 1837 he resumed his connection with the wo- men Vincent. Io June, 1838, her husband suddenly died, and at the begtuning of September following his wife died also. No suspicion of foal play was then entertained, but it is now strovgly susvected that he poisoned both. After the deatn of these to persons, he took Madame Viucent to live witn him, and, in spite of the scandal which tuis created ia the village. kept her with hin for ten months, when he married her. Awyears flew on his wife became old, and when her churms fled, he turned his atteu- lah ports to Bout tion to other women. After a while he establisned an immoral onvection with the wife ofa neighbor named Geoffroy—she was young and petty. Their connection was bo secret to tre inbabitants of the village ; in fact, they were more than onze surprised, In January, 1853, the wife of Marc :al died—she had a few days before made a will by which she left all her property to him. Some cna after, Geoffroy was taken ill, and on the 18th of Febraary died; he too had made a will by which he lett all tis pro- perty to his wife. After these two deaths the connection between Marchal snd the woman contia- ued, and in ten months’ het married. Reports Dow began to be secretly sp that the former’s wife and the latter’s husband died poisoned; and after a while these resorts reached the couple. Tuey were g.eatly alarmed, and they tamed a deaf ear to the recommecdations of their neighbora to have the bodies,exhumed and examined, ia order to show that, as they alleged, tiey tad not died of poison. At length the judicial anth ‘rities took nap the ma:ter. On this Marchal and his wif2 secretly took t» flight. They were iv euch baste that they wa'ked all n'gat, and on arriving at Sarreboorg, patd for places to the mail train for S<raeburg, thuugh it was only com: pored of first-class carriages. In one of the car- riages they me‘ a Madame Boulavger, who lives in the village of Angomont. She obssrved thst they were very low-spirited, and that the man had cat olf hismoustsches. Instead of going direc: to St:aaburg, they alighted at the +tation of Bramath aud from thst place they went crogs the Rhine toKi-l. They were there called on to produce passports, but not having any were not allowed to remain. They then hurried back to Aogemont, and got the mayor, who is Marchal’s nephew, to certify that t! ey had not been absent. Hearing of their flighs and return, the judicial authorities made some inquires, and Marchal and his wife presented themselves before them; but, as the cure 2nd a me- dical man declered that both the deceased had died of maladies with which tney were sfllicted, no searching investigation was consiiered necessary. Some time after it was ascertained that just before the deaths Marchal had on three different occasions purchased arsenic, amounting altogether to more ¥ than four onnces. This was a strong cvnfirmation of the suspicions sgainst them, and the magistrates went to Angomont to make an¢w investigation. They there learned that Marchal and his wife hid again taken to flight, and that the former ond be- fore setting out signed a deed by which he settled his prepeity on bis two sone. His teason for do- ing this was no doubt to prevent it from falling to the State in the event of his being convicted. Aftera gocd many researches, be and his wife were ar. fested at a place called Parnx. Tne bodies of the two deceared were dug up aod subjected to a medi. calexammnation. The result was that a considera- ble quantity of ar-eri: was discovered in the en typile of both, It way now recollected that when ‘arcbal’s wife fell ill he attended her, and that he alwsys prepared her drivks near a closet, of which heaiore had the kes; aso that sheofen com plaired that they were very bitter to the taste, aod more than once vehemently a:cused him of design- ing to poison her; and that it was observed that, after taking what he prepared or ber, she was seized pith vomitings, but that not hing of the kind took place when she took things prepared 0; others. As to Gecffoy, it appenred that, tnouy! he lea hap and vigorvus, 9 had been suddediy taken ill, ama that whilst ill his food had been prepared and administered by the two accused alone. In addition to all this, it was ascertained that the mun had off-red a sum of five hunared francs toa certain person to swear toa: his wife had, in bis presence, exnressed a wish to poison herself. It was also ascertained-that he had got outof the way @ young woman who had attended his wife, and who Was able to state fasts tendiag ty inculpate bim. Moreover, it was discovered that, in 1838, just before the death of his first wife, he bad purchas:d poison. Evidence having been given in support of the ailevations in ths indictment, the jory, 1p spite of :e cated denials of guilt by tie ac- cused, declared both guilty, but found that there wee extenuating circumstan ea iu fsvor of thy wo- map.

A sou workman, on retarnicg to his lo¢gings in the Rune St. Matin, at about 12 «lock at night, afew weeks ayo, saw a young girl weeping beneath a porte cochere.

On his retarn at breakfast she had disappeared, and had carried cff his watch and a ratzer Jarge sum which he had sneceeded in saving.

K+ntand Suflk can also Doast of many good players. The mention of this latter county reminds me of a ofvum-taace which oocurred in i; « few yearsago. A ma'cn was being pla) ec between the men of two villuges, neit er of which could boast of a Falier, Puch, or Weumaa, or such bowlers as Liliswhite or Rec gate. Suill there were some good players among+t thea, one of whom was the warthy clergyman of one of the vil- luges, and whose, tithes were supposed tbe more regularly paid tfin those of any of te neg boring 8 clexty, in consequence ot his ensouraging tis manly game, and joining wity his parishiouers in the inpocent aumsementit offered. We trerefore confidently recommend his recipe to those clergy: men whose titues are in arrear. Ts was on a fine sammer’s afternoon that the math refer ed to. was bemg played. The reader may imagice to himself the centre of a large com- mon, which had been cleared of farze or grasa for a considerable s)a' round, the turf being so’t tine, f&ud elastic, cropped 80 closely by sheep that it might be compared to @ beaatiful velvet carpet, The scenery was beaut:fa!, and an old pictaresque wincmil, such as Rembrandt would have etched, added to its twterest. It was duriag one of the pauses of the game that an cld mab ie Aeed wolkiog s'owly towards the ground. le was gray, round shouldered, weather beaten, aud shabbily dressed, with hia bands behwd bis back. At length he stoped, and remuired silently looking at the game, keping hia eye on it with & grave, undevia'ing atiention, It was, however, eary to see that he was a ricketer, and he was soon recogniacd by one of tre players to be old Fenuex, once @ very celebrated one. Un being accostea, he said that be was going rouad the country to teach any clubs that mig st waat nis ascistance, and hearing of the presen! mutch, he had stopped to see the play. Wren it as ove-, he was asked to give a fow balls. Now, for the first time, the club perceived how ignorant they we e of the art of bowling. Wicket after wicket weot down, and it was evident that toe players had not only to learn but to unleara. They were in fact mere tyros in the art. Kennex Was taken home to suoper by thee kind-heart-d brothers among the players, Tbe carousal was prolonged till midnight ; tre subj ct of cricket was discussed, and at length it was ugreed that the old man should be taken into the house of the beothe:s aud mam tie season with them The effect of this juitcious mexsu e was soou visible, but ac- quired only at the expense of lacerated hogers and beuised lege. Toe whole atyte of the play was al- tered— no more slaching play, no more long swipes over the common—no hitting across wicket. All was now stendy, ecieo ific, and secure ; a reason, @ good one, was axaigued for every movem-nt, and by the end of the season the mempers of tas club, if not ali sy players, were at least put in the right method, ani secure of improvement. O.d Fepnex is now no more. He was nearly blind be- fore he cied, and incapable of muscular exertin, but be loved to wander about the beantiful com- mon, the scene of his former glory. [t is 4 plea- sure to be able to mention that he was housed on- der the hospitable and charitable ryof of the elder of the three brothers [ have mentioved, who pro tected bim from wact during bis declining years. Fenpex was orn and bronght up at Gerard’s Cross, near Uxbri¢ge, and at the age of nineteen had become the first cricketer in Backinghumstire. He wus contempary with Reddam, Harris, the two Walkers, Robinson and others, and Sir Horace Mapp wa- at that time the ent vusiastic patron of te art. Having mentioned Horris, it may be rema k- ed that such was }is skill in bowlinz, that while crippled with the got, he was allowed a chair. Among the great perfurmances of Fennex, was vis having, when alone and unassisted, beat on Mitch- am Common, at single wicket, toe three greatest cricketers of their day. As a proof also of the strength and self denial of this veteran, it ‘nay be mentioned that ast the age of seventy-five he wrlked pinety mild in three days, carrying an um- brella, a bundie of clothes, and three cricket bats, oud spent in that time but three shi.liugs. How few men in their prime could oo m snch a jourrey, in such a manner!

It ough be mentioned that Fennex raired bimeelf to such eminence by his ekiil, tuat he was evabled once to keep his three buatars— that he was tie bovom friend of Olda:re, the iilns- trious huvteman of the Berkeley pack--that he lived with Lord Win helsea and the Taftons, but that be found in the honse of a fiiendiy village apothecary that hospitable shelter aod security for his old age, whiv-h none of his former noble and titied patrons would deign to bestow. Searcity of Sailors. [From the Butialo Courier, aug. 26.) The general and almost universal complaint, on the part of the sp)pping interests, both of this coun- try and of Evrope—-ramely, that there is on alarm- ing scarcity of seamen—is one to which we cannot be indifferent. We ore near five hundred miles from the sea, it is truc; re we give great employ: Ment to seanex, upon what Dr. Mitchell was won! t coll “the land seus of North America.” Of the fact iteelf, namely, that seamen have be- cowe alarmingly scerce at all the great shipping Marts, there veither ig nor can be any dozbt: though many writers find it not easy to satisfy themselves as to the cause. We bave seen various estimates msde und theories advanced upon this head, having plausibility, more or leas. One con tibutor to the Atlantic press reasons thas: — Tre Bri ish, in orver to man their fleets in the Baltic ane Plack seas, bave been compelled to withdraw from teeir commerce twenty thousind seamen, Franee fifteen thousend. andthe Russians, being blockaded, have in their ports idle at least twenty thousand more men. ‘This mokes fifty-five thousand soxmen withdrawn from comneree by th ropean powers, or the crows about sufficient to nav), over two thousand mercuant ships. Now this, with some grains of truth, is certsinly defective in a large degree, since a pretty heavy per centage of all these seamen were ia the same s>1ps they now are, before the beginning of hostilities. A portion, therefore, of this statement is no; true, while another portion certainly iv. There has been anosher larg drain of seamen ef- fected hy the gold mines of Culiforuia and Anstra- lia, Very much of tne shipping which first visited thorereg! was left withont crews onarrival. Tne crews went to tie mines; and compa atively few of there ever found their way back to their former em- ployment. At the same time, there has been a large increase of Inte in the total shivping oft! world. ‘This has yobahly been too great, in truth; bat io any event, it as been greater than bis been that of toe number of seamen; aod theas cantes all combined ars sup: posed by many to acoouvt for the want of seamen that is experienced. That want has been so great that shivping has heen detained in por: hy reason of it, ‘while the Jondest complaints have been un- ceasing, that the wi of sailors, under this prea “gore, bad become ruinously high.
