The last steamer from New York brought a cir-
cular of the American Petroleum or Rock Oil
Company, which has been organized with a nominal
capital of £lOO,OOO. The company offer to deliver
it in any quantities free en board at New York, and
they state that the Excise duty, equal to sd. ster-
ling per gallon, recently imposed upon refined oil
under the new system of Federal taxation,does not
apply to exported oil, and that in no case is there
any duty on the crude article. h addition to the
qualities of this oil as an illuminator, giving a
much whiter light than gas, as well as for pur-
poses of lubrication and for the manufacture of dyes,
it is now found to yield a substitute for turpentine,
which, so far as it has been tested as a vehicle for
painting, is considered t 3 Work much more freely
than turpentine, and to combine the properties of
that spirit with some other Peenliarity, which gives
it fluency and softness, The consumption of rock
oil in the world is vaguely estimated to have been
15 millions of gallons in 1860, and 20 millions in
1861, while for 1862 the quantity, it is thought,
may range from 30 to 50 millions.
The towns of Hamburg and
Altona will be
shortly provided with street railways. The idea proceeds
from one Herr Moller, a civil engineer, who has visited
) for the purpose of acquaint-
ingEnri,tncl and the United States.
of tno working tramways in
himself with public

th;;3l,,ghitires. The same g.:ntleman has also d glied a
whole network of street railways for F.erlin and Vienna,
and there seems to be
some prospect of the adoption of his
proposals in the litter city.
