BRITISH SPERM CANDLE COMPANY.—Many of our
readers some may remember having seen beautiful white and
semi-transparent
candles at the Exhibition. Little would they
have supposed that these could have been made from the com-
monest and most refuse fatty matter, however dark or coarse.
Yet so it is. By the operation of certain gases, acting on this fatty
matter, when in a state of saponification, stearic acid is pro-
duced of a white substance, almost like alabaster ; this again
is run into candles. They have been very largely sold in this
country, to the extent of hundreds of tons; and although
rival companies have insinuated that the candles could
not be made, or, if made, not at the price, yet we
are told that it has paid, and paid well, to import
and sell them here and in the colonies, although charged
with extra duty, freight, &c., equal to 20 per cent. To say
that the French manufacturers would haVe the complaisance
to import at a loss, and put a large profit in the agents'
hands here, seems indeed absurd.
However, it seems the
directors of the company, before appealing to the public, sent
their engineer, Mr. Ressenier, to Paris, who fully inspected
the works, and, coupled with the report of the commission
appointed by the Society for the Encouragement of Industry,
in Paris, to inquire into the manufacture (proved by closely

investigating the subject for four months), they featisefdlea
