THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
30 to 50 per Ccnt. Saved !

To be had at the Patentees. 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross.
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts,
fife advantages resulting from the intention are various and
striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com-
bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light
hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns
steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects
or soils the most delicate colour or the.flnest fabric. Objections have
made to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c.;
these are entirely obvlat,,d by the " PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS
BURNER." As the cost of laying On gas is much lower than is com-
monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the
small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
waste or trouble.

The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic
opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Jona Rate mg, President, in the Chair.
" A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited.
The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner.
The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was
hew ed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery,
and i:npinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very psrfect combustion,
The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have been used. . In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
better light, with a saying of rather more than one-third."

PARIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
SITTING OF SEPT. 14.
A communication was received from Mr. Morse, giv-
ing an account of the extent of the telegraphic lines
already established in the United States of America. It
is as follows: Miles.
Albany to Buffalo
New York to Boston
Ditto to Albany l5O
- Ditto to Washington •
Washington to Baltimore 4O
Baltimere to Philadelphia 97
Philadelphia to Now York
New York to Newhaven B4
Newhaven to Hartford
Hartford to Springfield 2O
Sprin;fiell to Boston
Albany to Rochester 252

Total 1,659
Mr. Morse states in his letter that the electric tele-
graph is now the chief mode of transmitting all the news
of the Government and the important correspondence of
merchants, and of the public generally. Its influence
has, he says, been already felt by the press. The journals
of the large towns, which were taken in the country on
account of their giving the most recent news, have lost a
great number of their subse{lbers, whilst there has been
a very large increase in the eireulation of the journals of

the small towns near the extreme points of the electric

telegraphs. The extent of the lines of electric telegraphs
in France is very small, as compared with the account
given by Mr. Morse, and from' the very slow progress
made by the committee on telegraphs appointed by the
Government, and at the head of which is M. Arago, a
long time must elapse before we reach here the total
given by that gentleman. We have not heard that the
committee has as yet sent any report on the various
systems of telegraphic communication, particularly those
of Mr. Morse and Mr. Bain, of Edinburgh, which have
been submitted to it. It is quite time, however, that the
report should be made, and that whatever is good in
each should be adopted, and the authors handsomely
remunerated, instead of resorting to the unworthy pla-
giarism which is said to have been recommended, and
which would almost amount to piracy.
An important question in chemistry has been raised
by a communication from M. Malagutti. By a decision
of the Marine Department, the manufacturers of sail
cloth for the navy are bound to bleach their cloths with
alkalies, and without the use of chlorine, and to.stiffen
them with gum arabic, and without starch. The mode
of testing the cloth delivered for the use of the navy is to
put a drop of the tincture of iodine on it, and if it turns
blue the cloth is refused. M. Malagutti proves that in
certain cloths, although only gum arable should have
been used, the blue colour may result from the test, as
the starch used in the preparation of the thread is some-
times left in by an imperfect process of bleaching.
A paper from M. Jobard was received on the Chinese
system of boring wells by means of a rope instead of
metallic rods. Ho states that M. Goublet Collet has
adopted this system with the best results in Champagne,
and that the cost is only 3f. per foot, without any in-
crease according to depth. The whole of the apparatus
costs only 500 f.
M. Biot, in his own name, and in those of Messrs.
Babinet and Pouillet, read a very favourable report on
an apparatus constructed by U. liumkorff to facilitate
the exhibition of the optical phenomena produced by
transparent bodies when they are placed between the
opposite poles of.a magnet of great power.
M. Velpcau presented, in the name of M. C. Sedillot,
of Strasburgh, a summary of a work on cancerous affec-
tions. The object of M. Sedillot is to show the advan-
tage that may be derived from the use of the microscope
in the examination of tumours supposed to be cancerous.
He is of opinion, however, that the diagnostic of a great
number of tumours is now sufficiently established with-
out the use of the microscope.
A letter was received from M. Forster, giving an ac-
count of Lis having discoveeed, on the night of the 13th,
a meteor, leaving the constellation Cygnus, and taking a
westerly direction. It left a train, which was visible
only fur one second.

FRANCE, ENGLAND and SPAIN.
(From El Espectador.)
What a surprising contrast is formed by the conduct
which England has observed towards us in these latter

tim's, in comparison with that simultaneously observed
by France ! It would lead to nothing merely to examine
at this moment if the difference with which we are about
to acquaint ourselves, only proves the greater skilful-
ness of the English policy ; or if, in reality, it de-
pends on the circumstance that there is, in this same
policy, a certain foundation of morality which obliges
her to respect our nationality and independence. It
suffices us to say that this difference exists, and that
Grt•at Britain succeeds, by her manner of proceeding,
in attracting as many sympathies amongst us as the di-
pl,•macy of Louis Philippe alienates by 'its mode of
acting. We are doing nothing more than exposing a
fact that is palpable to all of us, and it would even be
indecorous to seek in the conduct of England; which so
highly favours us, the motive of self-interest which may
have actuated that country. In spite of this, we shall
not deny that selfishness may partly instigate the modus
operandi of the policy pursued on the banks of the
Thames ; but if every one who received a benefit—be it
a man or a poople--!,strove to discover the intention and
the motive of self-eonvenienee-vvhieh animated the-bene-
factor, the word " gratitude" could not have been in-
vented, and assuredly the dictionary would not contain
another so utterly superfluous.

Suppo,,ing that England and France, in their acts,
exclusively consult their own private convenience, we
shall inevitably he forced to admit that the interests of
England are not found in hostility to our own, and that
those of France are ; and through selfishness also, we
declare ourselves the friends of the former, and the
enemies of the latter. What matters it to us that when
France does us an injury she may not do it in order to
prejudice us, but only to favour herself ? It is equally
certain that she does prejudice us. What matters it to
us that when England renders us a benefit she may do it
in order not to prejudice herself, and not for the sake of
favouring us? It is equally certain that she does favour
us, and this is what we require : we look to results, and
care nothing for anything else.
We know not if France, through the medium of her
own private convenience, could give us an explanation of
all the acts which constitute her policy towards us, but
it is positive that these acts are atrocious, and that
they render her odious to the hearts of all Spaniards
who are not Afrancesados. We know not whether,
through, the medium of her own private convenience,
she could hit upon an explanation of the ferocious
treaty of which the Spanish Liberals are the vic-
tims, who, ejected. from their country for political causes,
have the misfortune to seek an asylum in her bosom.
We know not in what point it can suit our generous ally
to compel these poor proscribed wretches to pass from
one point of her territories to the other on the slightest
requisition from a vindictive consul, or in what point it
can suit her to confine the unhappy victims to districts
where it is impossible for them to find an honourable
means of subsistence, or in what it can suit her to make
them walk leagues and leagues with chains around their
necks, naked and.bare-footed.

We could cite many similar acts, and if France
commits them in the consultation of her con-
venience, we, consulting our own, ought to
entreat Almighty God to divest France of all her
conveniences. Her conveniences and ours are diame-
trically opposed to each other. In the year 1823 it
suited her to invade our soil with armed force, to
wrest from us our liberty, and to leave the Liberals in
the clutches of absolutism. At a subsequent period it
suited her convenience, when war began to blaze in the
provinces, to add fuel to its flames ; and she finally ad-
ministered a narcotic to the whole of her police, in order
that Don Carlos might cross the French frontier without
being seen. It afterwards suited her to overthrow
Espartero, and now it appears that it suits her conveni-
ence to marry the Duke de Montpensier to the Infanta,
atter it had suited her to marry the Queen to Montemo-
lin, to Trapani, or to whomsoever else it did not suit our
convenience that she should be married !

- -
Fortunately, Providence has ordered for some years
that whatever suits us should also suit England. It
suited this powerful nat!on, as well during the "Liberal"
emigration of 1823 as during that of 1843, to conciliate
the affection of thearmigrants neither more nor less than
it suited France to gain their hatred. Thanks to this,
the political outcasts who at these two distinct periods
had the good fortune to gain the shore of England, met
on those shores with abundant sympathies, which greatly
alleviated their condition. It suited England, as well as
ourselves, that the cause of Don Carlos should succumb,
and her valiant soldiers participated more than once in
the dangers and glories of our own.
It suited England that the regency of Evader° should
issue victorious from the blow which d( stroyed it in the
year 1843, and Espartero would not have fallen had

Englund paid as little respect as France to the inde-
pendence of our nation. In all these capital points the
interest of Spain and England was synonomous, and
hers as well as ours was opposed to that of Fance. To
England it is owing that, on the marriage question, none
of the candidates which the instinct of Spain has re-
pelled has trinmphed until now. It is rumoured that
even now she is opposed to the Montpensier match, al-
though in, this the will of that nation is equivalent to
our own. If this match does not take place, it will be
because the men of the present situacion will not
have been able to conquer the repugnance of England.
We know these men, and we know well enough how
little their acts are influenced by the will of their
country. But what matters it that if Louis Philippe's
marriage scheme is not realised, it is owing to the
influence of a foreign nation? Spain will not be the less
contented.

What matters it that in thwarting this match England
may only propose to herself to weaken or hinder the
strengthening of the fatal influences which make of our
country a mere French colony ? It suits us to expel
these influences ; we ought not to perceive that it msy
equally suit England to expel them. When the will of
a country is not respected, we ought to desire that those
who are at its head may see themselves compelled to re-
spect the will of another country which is comforrnable
with that of our win.

From an authority, on which we can entirely rely,
we are enabled to state that T. W. Bramston, Eiq.,
intends to retire from the representation of the county,
whenever a dissolution of the present Parliament may
take place.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
