To pass over all the early knowledge of the inflammable gasses, whether as produced from the earth, or in the experiments of chemists, it may be interesting to remark, that although Dr. Clayton, and Bishop Watson after him, pro duced gas from the distillation of coal, and caused it to burn at the mouths of pipes, it never occurred to either of them that this pro perty could be converted to use. Such is the history of discovery. The Romans, like the Babylonians before them, printed clay with types, and did not perceive that they could print other stibstances ; they engraved writing on metal and stone, and from some at least they took im pressi')ns in wax, and most certainly the work men must often have taken a true copper-plate impression on their fingers. Yet type-printing and copper-plate printing remained to be found out by Heaven knows whom—Heaven knows when. Who, then, has the merit of discovery in these and a thousand other cases ? The dis coverer, beyond doubt, he who first sees the use. And yet what is the metaphysical nature of this merit. There is no process of reasoning, no ef fort of mind. The idea enters from abroad, as if it had dropt from the clouds. True, every body does not do these things ; for if they did, all discoveries would have been discovered long ago ; and yet he whom a dream directs to a rich vein of ore, seems to have much the same kind of merit. Each has had a good friend in the Rosicrucian army of spirits. Let others settle the metaphysics of this diffi cult subject ; the merits of " old Murdoch" (he will pardon his " nom de guerre," since it has long been his feudal title) shall not here be de parted from. Mr. Murdoch was, and is, the inventor of the gas-light. Mr. Murdoch not only suggested the use, but he first applied it ; and he did not apply it to nothing or to mere amusement, for it came from his hands, if not in &c. _- 1 10 & 2 4 ditto Ditto, all wool Half-yard stair carpetting (good) 1 0&1' 3 ditto Ditto, all wool.

It has been justly observed by a contemporary fournalist, that "whoever wishes to gleana just and spirited idea of the troublesome nature of the times of CHARLES the FIRST, when even the sanctity of domestic life was disregarded, as also of the power and influence of women when exerted in a cause which she has most at heart ; moreover, whoever wishes to become acquaint ed:with the virtues of a wife, such as few ages, we suspect, can parallel, should peruse the " Memoirs of Lady FAN.- SHAWE." The work is penned in a lively unassuming manner, is full of incident, one or two specimens of which are quite of the hernia cast, and is imbued through out with a quaint kind of earnestness, deepening occa sionally into a strain of singular energy and pathos, that gives it a very marked character, and will doubtless ren der it a text-book among memoir writers and readers.

THE MOORS.—Most of our stranger sports men are now returning to the plain s o f merry E ng l an d, and we are glad t o fi n d that, in spite of flood and storm, they are tolerably satisfied with the results of the cam paign. The Strathgarve party, we understand, have ex ported about nine hundred brace of birds—part of the spoil of a few weeks' exertions and five or six guns. Eng lishmen are famous for their love of field sports, and we knew one gentleman —a hale vigorous old clergyman— who used regularly to bivouack under a hedge on the night preceding the 12th of August, that he might be first in the field when daylight dawned. Something similar must be the animus of the three English gentlemen, who, with their friends, annually rusticate at Strathgarve—who travel from five to six hundred miles, and who pay about 3501. per annum for the use of moors that would scarcely yield 50/. if applied to the only other use nature seems to have intended them for, a pasturage for sheep, Yet who will blame their choice? Fortune is prodigal of her gifts to some, and two or three months spent among the wild moors—labouring from sunrise to sunset like hedgers and ditchers—climbing trackless steeps—leaping or fording burns—and breathing daily the pure invigorating air of the mountains, must lend both " fire to the eye and vigour to the limb," and to the sons of wealth and luxury must be like opening up a new and primitive existence. Health is of all earthly blessings the most valuable, and many a shat tered c , institu , ion is renovated by these annual sojourns amongst scenes which no man can contemplate without wonder or delight.—lnverness Courier. MODEST REQUESTS.—A freeman of a bo rough town within a circle of twenty miles from this place, already a pensioner on its noble patron's bounty (a boon granted to all the old freemen who chose to accept it) lately paid a visit, in consequence of the dulness of times, to his benefactor, to see what more could be done for him. After regaling himself on the old ale and other good substantial fare of the house, he was ushered to the presence of his Lordship, and having made sundry grand salams, he at last succeeded in setting modesty aside.— His first request was an increase of his pension, which was granted. Second!y, that his two sons, masons by trade, and " specious good workmen, too, maister," should be come of his Lordship's household (work or no work). — And, thirdly, that the " gentleman" would promise to get his " grand-child" made an exciseman, for as he is a "sickly chap he will not do for hard work." " How old is your grandson, Mr. C—?" said his Lordship.— " Eight, last birth-day," was the reply. This was thought a favourable opportunity to get rid of so importu nate a visitor, and as the period was so far in perspective Mr. C was told it should be considered. His Lord ship was about to depart when the freeman said he had " another favour" to ask, which was that as it was a long time to look forward before his " grandchild " would be of age to accept the desired situation, his Lordship would, "jist for satisfaction's sake," give him a note on a bit of paper, that it should be done, as that would be "some thing to stand by." This was a poser.; but report saith not the reply. —Devonport Telegraph. There are rumours current in London, which would induce us to believe that a dissolution of Parliament is at no great distance. It is certain that a number of persons, some of whom are supposed to have peculiar means of seeing the shadows of coming events, have bejun to canvass counties or burghs, though the present Parlia ment, which was elected only in June, 1826, is yet far from its natural termination. It is whispered by some— that the Duke of WELLINGTON and the KING are not on the best terms; and upon this supposed fact, two hypo theses are planted. One party gives out, that the Duke is too firmly seated to be removed, but that he finds it desirable to have a Parliament more to be 'died upon than the present—a statement which we cannot easily sub scribe to, since the Parliament which supported him so triumphantly on the Catholic Question is not likely to de sert him on any other. A different party pretends, that by some sort of alchemy, the Ultra Tory leaders are to be furnished with brains, and made fit to form a ministry, under the Duke of CUMBERLAND' S auspices, that would not be laughed at ; but this is out of nature, and must be a piece of pure invention. Neither of these hypotheses seems to possess plausibility enough to deserve attention ; but there must be some mode of accounting for the fact— if fact it be—that the knowing ones expect a dissolution. Perhaps the whole is idle gossip. As parties stand, the retirement of the Duke of WELLINGTON from the helm, under any circumstanc e s, would be an immense loss to the country ; and if it were possible that the wroirhe oled Ultras would succeed him, their advent to power ought to he a signal to every rational man to transfer himself and his capital to some other part of the world. We believe it is utterly beyond the'power of the faction to thrust the Duke out by their intrigues ; but were this to be his fat", he would carry a popularity with him such as no ex-minis ter has enjoyed in Britain since the days of CHATHAM. The change most likely to occur, and which may he said to have taken place to some extent already, is tl:e establish ment of a closer connection betwixt the Duke of WEL LINGTON an.l the Whigs; but it is not pro b a bl e that a dis ,:olution will rise out of this c ircumstance..-.-Scotsman.

HONOURS OF SEAFORTII AND KINTAIL.- In the Court-house of Tain, on Thursday last, GEORGE FALCONER MACKENZIE, of Allan,Trange, Esq. was served and returned heir to the honours and titles of COLIN first E'irl of SEAEORTII, and KENNETH first Lord of KINTAIL. The service, which proceeded before the Sheriff-suhstitute of the eastern district, in absence of the Head Sheriff, was ably conducted by JOHN ANDERSON, Esq. W. S. in pre sence of a most respectable Jury, of whom Sir JAMES WEMYSS MACKENZIE, of Scatwell, Bart. M.P. for the county of ROSS, was chosen Chancellor. After the claim of succession had been established in the dearest manner, the Chief of the MACKENZIES avas received into a chair, after the Highland spirit and fashion, and carried on the shoulders of the multitude, amidst joyous acclamations. Plenty of usquebaugh was ordered to be distributed with out doors, while ALLAN GIIANCE entertained within all the gentlemen of the Jury, and a few more friends, with his usual good-hearted conviviality. Many toasts were given, with honours due, dining the afternoon, to the healths of the various branclie4 of the MACKENZIES. and other clans, every one of which was loudly reechoed by the multitude assembled witho:lt. On the whole (says our correspondent), the recollection of the day wherein the honours of the SitArowrit name were rescued from oblivion, will long be cherished.—burerness Courier. tion, and Mr. Macadam for doing what had been done in Switzerland and in Scotland, and else where, time out of mind ? Ask Parliamentary sapience and justice, why ? Omniscience ca❑ doubtless answer what omnipotence performs. But all luck goes together. Mr. Murdoch got no patent, no reward, no money, and no fame. Known to be the inventor ! Yes : to whom ? to Mr. Matthews and Messrs. Watt and Boulton, and twenty more. Alas ! Fame and Fortune are twin impostors : and what " one does, the other will swear to." But thou wert an igno ramus, old Murdoch. Why didst thou not puff thyself? thinkest thou that if Sir A, or Sir B, had invented the gas-light we should ever have heard the last of it? It was in 1792 that the inventor first applied Coal. gas to the lighting of his house in Corn wall ; and in 1797 he again made use of it at Cumnock. In 1798 he constructed an appara tus on a large scale at Soho; and in 1802, at the peace, the whole front of Messrs. Boulton and Watt's buildings was thus illuminated in a splen did manner. In the mean time a M. Le Bon at Paris had applied wood and coal to the same purpose, and had thus lighted his abode ; proposing further, to light that city in the same manner, while Mr. Murdoch's invention, tlp to that date, was scarcely known beyond the circle of his immediate friends. This was his over-sight as far as his own inte rests were concerned ; for thus the securing his rights by a patent became so problematical, that the attempt was finally abandoned. And thus stepped in the great pretender ; since it was in or about 1803 that Mr. Winsor first began to ad vertise; continuing to exhibit gas illuminations at the Lyceum in 1803 and 1804. That he had borrowed his knowledge from Le Bon, is suffi ciently clear; and it ought not to be very neces sary now to recall to the public mind his ex treme ignorance of every thing belonging to the subject, nor even his puffing and extravagant promises; with his utter want of knowledge of what may be called business, although a mer chant of some kind. Still, he produced that public effect which Mr. Murdoch had neglected ; and it is, in reality, from his efforts, such as they were, that we must date the origin of the present wide and public use of this system of general lighting. In 1807 this projector lighted up part of Pall-mall : and with this display may be said to have commenced the lighting of London streets. By some means he also took a patent for his plan, and obtained subscriptions for a National Light and Heat Company ; raising, as it is said, 50,0001., under promises of the most extrava gant profits to the subscribers. Previously to this, in 1805, Dr. Henry had published his able analysis of the inflammable gasses as produced from various substances ; and in this year and 1806 Mr. Clegg and Mr. Pemberton had erected two apparatuses ; the former for lighting a cot ton mill, and the latter, of which other copies were immediately made by himself, for soldering buttons and other similar purposes. Mr. Murdoch came forward more conspi cuously, once more, in 1808, by lighting the cotton mills of Messrs. Phillips and Lee, at Manchester, and received the Rumford medal for a communication to the Royal Society, on this subject ; that sapient and active body hay ing in the mean time been of the usual service which it has commonly been, in promoting this valuable invention and ascertaining its nature and worth. This great trial served to convey the first notion of the probable economy of this mode of lighting; the total annual expence, of all kinds, being computed at 6001., while that of candles yielding the same light was 2,0001. Mr. Winsor had demonstrated to his subscribers that Si. woule, produce an annual profit of 5701. and that the nation would make an annual sav ing of about 115,000,0001. — ln the mean time all the money of these sub scribers, to the amount of 50,000/., had been spent in Mr. Winsor's experiments ; but as there were men wise enoug h to see v, here the faults lay, and what the merits of the invention were, application was made in 180) to Parliament, to incorporate a company for carrying some plan into effect for lighting London. But the appli cation failed at first, yet was renewed in 1810, with success : and thus arose the London and Westminster Chartered Gas Light and Coke Company, with a capital of 200,0001., incor porated in 1812. This capital was afterwards increased by an equal addition ; and Mr. Mat- ' thews, justly enough, demands praise for the ex ertions of this Company, which, saddled with the whole labour, hazard, and expence of in ventions and trials, and working for many years _ at a great loss, did nevertheless persevere, and had also the merit of smoothing the way for all • that were to follow. And here also Mr. Clegg comes in with a due share of praise; since to his ingenuity and practical skill we are indebted for nearly every thing in the way of calculation, workmanship, and invention, which now exists, and without which it would have been impos sible for this mode of lighting to have attained the certainty, beauty, and economy, to which its general reception 'and extension are owing. It had been long known that inflammable gag, similar to that produced from coal, could be ex tracted from many other combustible substances; and Dr. Henry had some time published an ac curate account of the compositions of several of these gasses, their relative economy, and so forth, when, in 1815, a patent was taken out for an apparatus to produce gas from oil, for the purpose of lighting houses chiefly, though it was some years before the difficulties were over come. Here, again, Mr. Matthews says that • the same system of exaggeration and misrepre sentation, which had characterized Mr. Win sor's career, began to be renewed, and was car ried on with very unblushing perseverance, and, according to the facts which he has stated, in a most impudent manner. Last in the progress of inventions conies the portable gas, with, as usual, an inventor who is not the inventor; a certain Mr. David Gordon. " Coal-gas compressed into small vessels had been previously used by Air. Clegg and others," as indeed, his application had been rendered ob vious enough by the common condensed gas blow pipe. Nevertheless the patent was obtained, and the company organized : a losing concern, as we are now informed, and likely to die a natural death.* This, indeed, was anticipated from the beginning, by some others, who had preceded this patentee in the suggestion, and who declined pursuing that of which they foresaw the ill suc cess ; the book itself may be best referred to for a more detailed history of gas-lighting, relieved by a mixture of instruction and amusement which such a title scarcely promises. We have now been so long accustomed to this new light in the streets, that, like all other ter- • rene goods, we have almost become insensible to its blessings. Yet let him who desires to know what he owes to chemistry and "Old Murdoch," turn into any of the street still lighted with oil, and then come back to the nocturnal day of the Strand or Pall-mall. The parish oil-lamps were like light-houses on the ocean ; guides, not lights ; the gas has become a perpetual full moon ; and it may assuredly be pronounced one of the most splendid and valuable applications of che mistry. Why has not old Murdoch his statue also ? He deserves it even better than his master ; for the master was well paid in solid pudding.other of days, iaotdsetsa: the and u demi ld have equalled philosopher would have breathed flame like the Colossus the Chimera ; in the fabulous ages before that, he would have come down to us a god, or a demi gon, the rival of Prometheus, Hercules, and At las. Why not cast him in Achillean brass, the rival of the great hero of gunpowder and Water loo, and make him breathe gas like the dragon of Wantley, to illuminate the triumphal arch. Ingrata Patria! The new light ! yes, much has been heard of its power and influence ; but what has the new light of all the preachers done for the morality and order of London, compared to what has been effected by this new light. Old Murdoch alone has suppressed more vice than the Suppression Society ; and has been a greater police officer into the bargain than old Colquhoun and Sir Richard Birnie united. It is not only that men are afraid to be wicked when light is looking at them, but they are ashamed also ; the reforma- Lion is applied to the right place. Where does vice resort ? Where it can hide ;in darkness, says the preacher, because its deeds are deeds of darkness. Seek in in Pudding-lane, and Dyot street, and the abysses of Westminster. Why was not this new light preached to them long ago : twenty bushels of it would have been of more value than as many chaldrons of sermons, and taking even the explosions of the inspector into the bargain. But it is well, that this is at length to be compulsory; since it is never too late. Thieves and rogues are like moths in blankets : bring the sun to shine on them and they can neither live nor breed. Let the Duke of Wellington place a gas lamp at every door of these infernal abodes ; and since they cannot be smoked out, make their houses as much like glass, on the principle of the old Roman, as we can compass. This is the remedy ;at least till common sense will condescend to the better pedient of pulling down and laying opti all these retreats of misery and vice ; the disgrace and the nuisance of London, and not less a standing inhumanity to the poor themselves. Yes, Regent-street is fine and showy, and, if any one pleases, useful, and so are the new churches, or might Le : but the whole would have been well exchanged for fifty or a hundred clean, open, spacious, and well-lighted streets, of houses fitted for the habitations of the lowest orders of London, and while the charity woul' have been great as penitentiaries, soups, all'a sub scriptions, so would the moral result have oeen more valuable than that of the whole of the churches united.—But enough for present meditation. Our fellow-citizens are still shy of the use of gas in their dwelling-houses. So much the worse for them. Edinburgh is becoming wiser; and nothing can exceed the accuracy with which these private lights are served and managed, as well as the value of the result, in light, econo my, and cleanliness. It is measured to the con sumers by Crossley's gasometer, and a man may burn little or much, since he pays for as much as he burns and no more. As to smell, this arises from the careles,ness of servants in not lighting the orifice as soon as it is open : there need never be any smell. And as to explo:io it is not worth calculating on. It is the result of extreme carelessness when it does happen ; and the very smell of the gas is in fact one of its most valuable properties, since it is that warn ing which no one possessed of a hose can mis take or overlook. Ilut we need not argue. * The principle i f extracting portable gas from patent rosin, added to the recently attaiiied power of sell-com pression (specimens of which wer e ex hibi te d at the Ball room in this town lat,t week), fo rms qu i te a new feature in the principle of this beautif u l system of lighting priv a t e estab:istments.
