British CtOths.-From enc of the most respectable dealers in cloths, we learn, (says the Baltimore American') that English cloths of the spurious or logUood dye, have found their way into this mar ket. There is no doubt, we learn, that they came from the same source through which they have been heretofore intoduc- ed into New York and Boston. The spurious or logwood dyed cloths, after be- ing made up and exposed to the air for a short time, become of a claret or dirty rcd color, and exhibit shabby appearance Our informant, in order to show the difference between the genuine and spurious dyes, applied, in our presence, the test of aqua-fortis, to several pieces of cloth of each kind.-The effect na every. instance was, that the indigo remained unchanged, while the haywood dye was destroyed and turned to scarlet hue. These spurious cloths, from the cheapness of the dye, are sold at low rate, but to the consumer they will always prove a dear bargain.

 We have in our pocket-book, specimene of the cloths, that were submitted 10 the test above spoken of. The spurious dyes are turned scarlet. All who deal in John Bulls goods ought to carry a small bottle of. 0quG- fortis with them.-It will often bring JOhn out, with his red coat upon him instead of the blue-the true blue" which he would pass upon us. -NiIes.
