The Shah of Persia has made a vigorous at tempt to stop the importation of anilice dyes into that country. It is evon said that the handle of any carpet weaver using aniline dres are nailed up over his door as a warning to other evil, Roors. This drastic method of suppressing the use of these strooious dyes is perhaps not suited to Indian circumstances, but at the same time something should be done, and we are glad to learn from home that the subject has attracted grast atimtion in connection with the Indisu rhibition. Bir George Bindwood, Sir Edward Buck, Mr. Pardon Clarke, Mr. Wardle, Mr. Ro. binson, Dr. Watt Mr. Royle, and many other gentlemen connected with the Exhibition are al unanimous in their condemnation of the dyer as likely to lead to the raination of Iadinu fabrics.
