A substitute for Oil Cloth.

--An ingenious inventor in England has discovered a substitute for the oil cloth which is so much used for halls, passages, &c. It is composed of an intimate mixture of cork and india rubber.--Up to a recent time this mixture has been known by the name of ‘ "Kamptulicon;"’ but, acting on a hint thrown out in a recent number of the Corn hill Magazine, the manufacturer has adopted the more expressive, although less fine, designation of cork flooring. It is made of different thickness, from one-eighth, or even thinner, to a quarter of an inch thick, and is beautifully soft to the feet.
