In the uuimn of ISIS he brpoght some of his Lamps to Loridrui;* and showed theni Ica all - the Gas Companies here ; at that time we had the pleasure to lee one of them, with which we were much pleased ; but the Ma nagers of the Gas Companies did not seem to think I them applicable to general use; the invention, therefore,' lay dormant for several years and might have done so much longer, if it had not been for some public spirited hsdivicloals who, in the beginning of 1823, established the London Portable Gas Company, and engaged Mr. GORDON to take the management thereof: Since that time, Portable Gas has been gradually but steadily get ting into general use. When the Company was first established, the Lamp wits violently attacked on the score of danger, by one of the monthly scientific Publi cations, which was very successfully answered by Mr. Goanos ; and; what is most satisfactory to the Public is, that, among the many thousand Lamps which have been circulating since that time in London and its neighbourhood, not one accideni has occurred, and the Invent* asserts, that it is physically impossible that an undstentional explosion can take place. The Company have lately obtained a Crown Charter, with a capital of 250,0001. and are proceeding to increase their ma chinery so as to enable them to meet the encreasing de-, mand for the Gas, which is used to an extent of which we had no idea, until we made some late inquiries on the subject. The Engineers for London Bridge, and the London Ducks, acknowledge that they could not have proceeded so well with the foundations of these works by means of any other light. The Thames Tunnel has made use of Portable Gas almost since the commence- anent of that undet taking, and the Argyle Rooms were lighted with it all last season. The Duke of York Steam-boat, on her voyages to Lisbon, Gibraltar; Ma laga, and back, has for some time been altogether light ed with Portable Gas. The Penitentiary, London In stitution, and other Public Establishments, many Churthes, and about 900 private Customers 'have adopted Portable Gas, so that we think we are pretty safe In again predicting that that species of Light will get into general use in all large towns which can affotd the expense of the requisite establishment,— At present all .the new Churches in Mary-la-bonne parish are being lighted with Portable Gag. Several attempts have been made to introduce Portable Gas in the. large Towns upon the Continent, but we understated they have not yet been successful, probably from the difficnky of their getting all the machinery sufficiently perfect, and the unwillingne.s of Foreigners to follow implicitly what has been done in this country. In the beginning of 1825 a Provincial Portable Gas Company WAS formed, which erected Works at Man.., cheater and Edinburgh, but unfortunately that was at the period of the Joint Sock Mania, and its progress has been stopped by the difficulties which all such, whether good or bad, have lately had to encounter. We understand that the Edinburgh Establishment is to be gives up for want of funds ; but that the Manchester one is to be prosecuted under a new and vigorous ma nagement. We hear, however, chat it it probable the former is likely to be taken up by another Company. - We-observed at the London Company Works that *sir Gas is now made from rosin, according to a plan for which Mr. Daniel has lately btained a patent, and we are informed that the Gas obtained thereby is equal in brilliancy and durability to Oil Gas, at much less ex pense, which we think will be a great advantage to all Oil Gas Establishments—as the high price of oil for several years past has prevented them from being pro fitable concerns. We also observed at the London Works that the Company have lately erected one of Mr. Gurney's steam boilers, wherein the steam is gene rated by the circulation of the water through very small pipes, Mr. Goanow speaks in the highest terms of this species of boiler, on account of its safety and the economy of fuel, especially in getting op the steam in the morning, which instead of taking an hour sod half, at formerly, does not now require more than a quarter of an hour. NEW LONDON BRIDGE. the Builders Who have contracted for the New 'Lon tan 'Bridge are Mr. WILLIAM JoLIIII4 and Sir ED WA= Beats; the original amount of whose contract was 426,0001. and 80,0001. for making alterations in the present structure: the whole to be completed in' six years, from March 2, 1824 ; which contract is now increased to 506,0001. by the addition of 8,0001. for a new set of centering for the fourth arch ; and 42,0001. granted by the Treasury in 182.5, for making the Bridge nit feet wider, namely, two feet in each foot-path, and two feet in the carriage way. The exterior of the edifice will be of three sorts of granite; the eastern side being of purple Aberdeen; the western, of the light grey" Devonshire Haytor, and the arch-stones of both, united with the led-brown of Peterhead; the hafting* of the piers, being of hard Brambley•Fall,Derby, and Whitby stone. These materials are roughly shaped at the quarries; and after having been carefully wrought] at the Isle of Dugs, are finally dressed and fitted to their places at the - Bridge. The pier foundations are armed of piles, chiefly beech, pointed with iron, and llama about twenty feet km pe blue clay of the, %Vett, ilibtit tour feet apart, having two rows of sals a each averaging a foot square, and filled in with large blocks of stone, upon which is laid a six-inch beech planking, bearing the first coarse of masonry. The pro. posed form of the bridge is a very flat segment, the rise not being more than '7 feet ; and it is to consist of five ttiliptiial arches, having plain rectangular buttresse s , standing upon plinths and cutwaters; with two straight flight of stairs, 22 feet Wide, at each end. That on the western side at the Cis/ end will, howeVer, cut soxlet ply into Fishmongers' Hell, that it is to be taken down, the Corporation paying 20,0001. to the Company .

TO TUE .EDITOIt tiF THE STAR. Botoocuss Sirs Such has Want* impression plaidSced by di.gosting fracas amongst the disreputables that infe s t the Briti s h society of IlEnlogne, that several of the most respectable 'families have already been induced, and others are pre: paring, to retire altogether from a place where 'scenes are so continually octerring to render their residence et it annoying to, hem. Yet it is but within it Ipace of about three years, that individuals of present notoriety I were kept in full check—:and thus a more delightful or satisfactory place of residence could not exist for any English desiring to retire abroad to fix at. The petits were then not only select, but sekded—as decorous and correct in every respect as the best conducted society that could be found at home, owing to the inffisenm at that time existing, of a few leading . families of distin guished character, giving the tone and direction to the society. It is to this period that the higher class of our French often look back with regret in remembrance in particular, of the hospitalities of Sir Thomas Strange, the amiable late Chief Justice of Madras, who came to enjoy his a OgiNgi cum diswitate here, with his highly accomplished and elegant Lady, whose lots eanoot but be deeply felt as long as good taste, kindly feeling, and an uncompromising repulsion of every person and habit disreputable and indecorous, shall be cocisidered the criteria of cultivated- and correct association. Of one advantage, however, originating with the English of these better days their successors are still in unchanged enjoyment—their excellent church estabish swot, formed at firstby the zealous exertions of another of our departed compatriots, the benevolent Sir John Head, and kept up with the most earnest zeal by its present highly respected Minister. The English school establishments, formed after the peace here, still main tain their ground, and are conducted with the most creditable attention under their very respectable prin. cipals. They have all appropriated portions of the galleries of the British chapel, and with the rem of the young people living with their families in the town, have enjoyed the benefit of a public confirmation--a rite, which the present residence of Bi.hop Luscombe. and as well as the occasional visits of other Bishops ere always affording the English 'on the continent, the opportunities of having this important ceremony the Episcopal Protestant Church administered to Retaining such advantages, it cannot but be a source of painful reflection to families, to whom a re sidence at Boulogne is so useful from its contiguity, and continued opportunities of easy and cheap access to England—. that a few sets of characters, and quarrelsome refugees from their own country, should have it in their power to disturb the tranquillity, and destroy the enjoyment of the worthy, the respectable, and the good. And it is even perhaps more to be regretted, that the interest of a few mercenary speculators should stand in the way of such salutary restrictions of an otherwise active polite, as might at once cure so banefil and obnoxious an evil, by ridding this town and its more peaceable residents, of such pestilential disturbers of its repose. DUELLING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sut—Having this day read the account of what passed before the Magistrates respecting General BAUM, and Captain Sumer, my Mind became immediately in terested in the following report: A Lieutenant-Colonel,- iliarmanding a celebrated regiment, seduced the wife of a Gentleman, and she now lives with the gallant colonel in his regimental quarters. Unhappily for die cause of morality, the brother of the Lady is a Captain in the regiment, and because he did not call out his Commanding Officer he has been placed in Coventry by his brother Officers, and must quit the regiment. This affords two points for consideration—first the Lady was a married _woman, and consequently under the guardianship of her husband, and not of het brother. In the next place, if the Captain is to be obliged to quit his profession because he did not think proper to challenge his Commanding Officer for having violated the laws of morality and Religion, in thus destroying for ever the domestic h a ppine s s o f a husband—what ' ought to be the punishment of the Lieutenam.COlonel, who could not only be* guilty of such a crime, but who could in the most unfeeling manner bring she unfortunate woman to reside in the same Barrack with her brother, who could not avoid seeing her, and who could aot revenge the insult according to what are called the laws of honour, without running the risk of bidarasbier ed by the sentence of a Court-martial? If tiodyuang Captain should be. obliged to leave the regiment, kit must retire with a stigma attached to his character, which will entirely destroy all chance of happiness for him in any other Corps ; and why ? because his Commanding Officer, after having ruined his sister, ad ded the grossest intuit, to the most afflicting injury, by bringing her to live ander the same roof with him.
