NEW GAS BURNERS.-ROYAL LETTERS
PATENT.—Their names are, the Star—the Comet—the
Golden—the Glass—the Ring—aid the Reflecting Burners. It is
peoved, beyond doubt, by men of Science and gas engineers, that no
other Gas Burners bear comparison with them. Bright as crystal is
the light. No smoke emitted. The most economical and the most
elezant of all. Tho improvements are so evident, all should have
them.

SCIENTIFIC OPINION.
Laboratory. Royal Polytechnic Institution,
October 21, 1843.
Sir,—After a careful examination of your New Gas Burners,
which I have tested in comparison with the best hitherto known. I
sin compelled to acknowledge that your recent di.covery is superior
to all others in economy, and in the purity of the flame produced
by it. _

By the simple, yet truly scientific arrangements of your burners,
you have succeeded perfectly in obtaining the proper supply of air,
both in quantity and position ; thus, the flame is, at all times, steady
and intensely luminous; while even under suddenly increased pres-
sure, or during draughts of air, no smoke is given off.
I remain, Sir, yours faithfully,
JOH' RYAN, M.D. ,LL.D.,
Professor of Chemistry.

Mr. R!chard Clark, Strand.

ment of the METROPOLITAN LIGHT COMPANY, RICHARD

•- BANQUET TO LIEUT.-GENERAL
SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, K. .C.B.
DUBLIN,.FRIDAY.--Last evening Lieutenant-General
Sir Charles James Napier, the hero of Sinde, was enter-
tained at dinner in the round room of the Rotunda, by
a large number of the most respectable citizens of
Dublin, the members of the bar, the mercantile body,
the army, navy, &c. The magnificent round room was
brilliantly lighted, and the scene was one altogether most
attractive and exciting.
At the upper end of the apartment were placed, on a
raised dais, the table occupied by the chairman and
principal guests, and extending longitudinally through
the room were five others, at which the company sat,
comprising several military and naval officers of high
rank, and the elite of the gentry, professional and mer-
cantile classes of the Irish metropolis, who, by their
presence on the occasion, testified their high apprecia-
tion of the eminent services of their illustrious country.
man during his important and distinguished career
as a military commander in ever quarter of the globe.
The spacious room selected for the banquet was lit by
a magnificent chandelier which depended from the ceil-
ing, containing 150 gas-jets, and a profusion of wax
lights, in rich candelabra, shedding a chaste and softened
brilliancy over the apartment.
A spacious orchestra was erected at the end of the
room, opposite the principal table, which was occupied
by the band of the 6th Inniskillen Dragoons, who per-
formed several fine pieces of music during the evening.
The infant harpists, known as the Lockwood Family,
also performed several exquisite airs on three Irish harps,
arranged upon a platform in front of the orchestra.
Iw-
mediately behind it was a splendid painting, surrounded
' by British flags, in the centre of which was a column on
which were inscribed, in gold letters, upun a purple
ground, the names of the numerous scones of service in
which Sir Charles won his immortal honours in the fol-
lowing order :—" Corunna, Goa, Busse°, Fuentes
D'Onor, Badajoz, North America, Cambria, Emumcbur,
Meeanee, Hyderabad, Truckee;" the whole surmounted
by a bust of General Napier, erowno with a laurel
wreath. On the table opposite the chairman's seat were
several exquisite ornaments, in raised sugar work, the
principal of which was a triumphal arch, sustaining the
imperial crown, and from which depended beautiful satin
bannerets, bearing the names of the several actions in
which Sir Charles Napier achieved his triumphant suc-
cess. Others displayed national insignia, with appro-
priate mottoes, and the whole were arranged with excel-
lent taste, and produced a most pleasing effect.
At half-past seven o'clock, the company entered the
room, and took their places, and in a few minutes after
the chairman, guests, and committee entered, the band
playing the National Anthem.
The chair was taken by his Grace the Duke of Lein-
star. At his right sat—

Devon, Hon. Charles S. Monck, James H. Hamilton,

A large number of ladies, friends and relatives of the
distinguished guests and members of the committee,
graced the aasemblage by their presence, and imparted
no small attraction to the scene, which was one of
dazzling splendour.
Grace having been said, when dinner was over, and
11'on IVobis Domine sung,
The Noble PRESIDENT rose to propose the toasts of
the evening. The first toast which it would be his duty
and his pleasure to announce was one that required no
comment. He begged to give them—
" Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria."
The toast was drunk with all the customary honours.
Solo with chorus—" God save the Queen."
The following toasts then followed in succession:—
" The Queen Dowager." Band—" Hail Star of Bruns-
wick."
" Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family,
coupled with the name of his Royal Highness Prince
George of Cambridge, who had been so kind as to honour
them with his presence on that evening."—(Loud cheers.)
Quartette—" Lutzow's wild chase."
His Royal Highness Prince GEORGE Of CAMBRIDGE
rose to return thanks. He said—ln a company con•
taining so many distinguished officers and friends,
though I feel that I ought not to detain you long with
any observation of mine, I still feel that I should not
allow this opportunity to pass without expressing my
sincere thanks for the honour you have dome me by
coupling my name with the toast which has just been
given. I might also observe, that ever since I have
come to this city I have received such unremitting kind-
ness that I am glad to have the present opportunity of
expressing my gratitude and my thanks to those who
have exercised their hospitality towards me—such un-
remitting kindaess and attention from Irishmen, that I
am glad to have this opportunity of returning my thanks
to those who have so largely contributed to the pleasure
attendant upon my sojourn in this country.—(Cheers.)
I am especially glad to be permitted to make these re-
marks in the presence of our illustrious guest, and so
many other distinguished officers of her Majesty's ser-
vice. In connexion with the name of Sir Charles Napier
and the British army, permit me to observe that it is no
ordinary pride which I feel when I reflect that I belong
myself to the noble profession of which ho (Sir Charles
Napier) is a member.--(Cheers.) 'Chat is a feeling
which is felt not only by myself, but, I will venture to
say, is likewise experienced by every member of the
British army.—(Cheers.) This company will, therefore,
I trust, permit me to express to Sir Charles Napier
the pleasure I feel at being privileged to do him that
honour which lam sure both myself and every one else
must be desirous to show him on an occasion like the
present.—(Loud applause.)
" The Lord-Lieutenant and Prosperity to Ireland."
Band—" There's nae luck about the house."
" The Lords Justices."
Lieutenant-General Sir EDWARD BLA.KENEY re-
sponded to the toast.
The PRESIDENT then rose to propose the health of
Sir Charles Napier, the guest of the evening. He said—
My Lords and Gentlemen, before I propose the next
toast I would make ono or two remarks with respect to
myself. I regret extremely that you have not a more
able chairman, and ono better adapted to do justice to
the toast I am about to propose ; but when it
was proposed to me to take the chair on the occa-
sion of a public dinner to my gallant relative, I
could not refuse the request made to me ; therefore, I
trust that you will excuse me if I do not bring before
you all the merits of our illustrious guest, as under
other circumstances I might have bee❑ tempted to do.
—(Hear.) The toast I have now to propose is the
health of the gallant soldier who sits at my left hand,
Sir Charles Napier.—(Great applause.) Not being my-
self a military man, it will not be expected that I should
treat you to a detail of his many brave achievements.
But his late victories in India were all well known to those
who have perused the public prints ; and so successful
were all his battles in that portion of her Majesty's do-
minions, that it would be quite unnecessary to allude
particularly to any of them. But there is one fact I wish
to mention in connexion with the name of my gallant
relative, namely, that he had always laid aside the sol-
dier when he had conquered, and endeavoured to do
whatever good he could fur his country.—(Hear.) In
illustration of the true character of Sir Charles Napier,
I may hire observe that I happen to have seen a letter
