GAS LIGHT—CLEAR as a BRILLIANT.
The power of Gas-light, and its simplicity recommend it ; but
to burn Gas without injury to health, is the grand object. The
Golden and Comet Gas Burners a stream of lecid light display; its
hiteness is proof of its purity - a perfect combination of the gases
is effected, this science has decreed correct. Economy in use. No
carbon emitted. Can any more be done? All common gas burners
shou'd be laid aside, their continued use only creates further evils.
These perfect burners are ss. 3d., ss. 9d., and 6s. 3d. each, according
to their power of light. Burning continually at the Establishment of

BOULOGNE, TUESDAY MORNINO.----There was a
continual succession of amusements here from morn-
ing, until the close of night yesterday, and all the
varied arrangements for giving the fullest effect to
the festival were carried into ffect in the most satis-
factory manner. Of course, n France one could ex-
pect no less, for here all fet of this kind, when once
determined on, excite a rfect furor among the
population, and every one ordially assists in giving
the utmost éclat to them. oulogne, since the first
announc nt of the fetes, has been visited by vast
number he English, who have come here by the
packet-boats to amuse themselves at this gay festival.
Within the last two days alone the arrivals from
Englans fallen much short of 1,000 persons.
$ About on ... Monday an excursion boat from
Ramsga came into the port excessively crowded
with passengers, and as it rounded the pier-head its
arrival was welcomed with hearty cheers by a number
of persons assembled on the pier.
In the morning of yesterday the National Guards
belonging to Boulogne, and the other cities in France
from which detachments had been sent, after muster-
ing in the square in front of the Hotel de Ville,
marched down towards the sands. On reaching the
quay they were drawn up in double line, which, so
great was the number of men present,' extended the
whole,lengtla of the quity.thubetiaaing :of the
pier to the market-place. The National Guards of
Boulogne occupied the head of the line, and bore
with them the drapeau presented to them by the
National Guards of Paris, which was remarkable for
its elegance and richness. The whole body of Na-
tional Guards here assembled were then inspected by
the mayor and the rest of the municipal authorities,
who, as they passed along the line, were saluted with
acclamations of " Vive la Republique," " Vive la
Libert6," &c. When the inspection terminated, the
whole body marched back again to the Hotel de
Ville, where they disbanded for the day ; for, by an
alteration in the programme, the firing at targets
for prizes was postponed from yesterday, for which it
was originally fixed, until to-day. There were,
however, plenty of games and gambols going on upon
the sands, the long flat shore here affording a
convenient field for such sports, and the jumping
in sacks, donkey-races, &c., afforded continuous
merriment and fun to the assembled spec-
tators. At the same time the regatta was proceeding
in the offing, and the movements of the sailing vessels
and rowing- boats presented a pleasing sight to those
who beheld the match from the pier or the cliffs.
A. slight accident tended for a moment to check the
general satisfaction, but fortunately no fatal conse-
quences resulted from it. A fishing-smack run down
a four-oared cutter at the entrance of the harbour;
but, though the boat was capsized, no other incon-
venience, happily, ensued to the rowers beyond a
sound ducking.
The decorations in the town are on so extensive a
scale that they were scarcely completed last night ;
indeed, additions seem to be continually making to
them. Although Sunday was a period of much
gaiety here, yesterday was really the commencement
of the fetes, and in the evening the whole of the
streets were tastefully and prettily illuminated with
paper lanterns of the different tints which form the
national colour, and the effect produced by the
appearance of long alleys of these fanciful and
beautiful lights was really quite enchanting. Booths
and platforms, covered with evergreens, were erected
in several of the most prominent places, and
instrumental bands stationed in them executed
during the night a variety of music to the great
delight of the promenaders, who crowded all the
thoroughfares. At the theatre there was a perform-
ance gratis in the afternoon, and after an interval of
some hours a ball took place in the same building,
but the admission to both these amusements was not
upon the same easy terms, a few francs being neces-
sary to obtain the entrée to the ball. A concert, at
which Madame Thillon constituted one of the great
attractions, was given in another part of the town ;
and there was again a public ball at the Tintelleries.
The directors of the Boulogne and Amiens Rail-
way took the present opportunity of inviting the
directors of the South Eastern line to a friendly din-
ner. As acts of " fraternization" are so common
now a days in France, we trust that this may be
reckoned one of them, and the preliminary to a more
satisfactory understanding between the two com-

in France would have a disastrous effect. We have
not yet drained the bitter cup of these unlucky Spa-
nish marriages. To conclude—ln France, dilapidated
finances; abroad, placed between an honourable amende
to Palmerston on the subject of Spain, or a common
cause with Austria to play the gendarme in Switzerland
and fight in Italy against our principles and our natural
allies. All this is caused by the King, the King alone,
who has perverted (fausse) our constitutional institu-
tions. I find all this very serious, because I fear the
questions of ministers and portfolios will be set aside,
and that is a great danger when, in preesence of a
bad situation, questions of principle are set up. If, in-
deed, we could find any event, any affair to conduct vi-
gorously, and which by its success would rally our
party a little, there would still be a chance of gaining
the battle; but I see nothing. You will excuse this
epistle, for we require to feel our way. Forgive me for
what I say of the father (du pere); it is to you alone that
I say it; you know my respect and affection for him; but
it is impossible for me not to look into the future, and it
rightens me a little."
