" THE GAS-LIGHT MONITOR."—This is a recent
invention, for which a patent has been obtained, and of
which the results can be seen and tested by anybody in-
terested in the consumption of gas, at the offices of the
patentees, No, 26, King William-street, Charing -cross.
Although the apparatus is very small, and the p 1 Ice at
which it can be obtained very tr►fling, its effects at., ti very
considerable, and its value comparatively great. It con-
sists of a neat brass box, or small chamber, abort t an
inch in length, and not more than two-thirds of an inch
in diameter, which can be attached to any gas-lya: rner,
and which is placed about two inches below the orifice
from which the gas is emitted and the flame comm nixes.
By the contrivance, which any person can regulate, and
which, on inspection, can be understood at once, ho wever
difficult to he described on paper, safety, econom, r, and
cleanliness are effectually secured ; there is no flu Ire, no
flickering, no smoke, and none of those occasional jets of
soot, by which anything in the neighbourhood of the
burner is defiled, and by which many things of d, flicate
texture are spoilt. The currents of gas are so corn' detely
governed and regulated, that the quantity consume cl in a
given time cannot exceed, whatever the pressure m a y be,
what is requisite for a full height or size of flame ,; gas
cannot escape into the apartment in which the hurt ter is
used. There is no disagreeable vapour produced, m t op-
pression from heat, and no dirt from smoke. For at .rest
lamps, the invention will be very useful, for it is well
known that when the gas is turned off, about nine
o'clock, when it is no longer wanted in shops in the :heart
of the town, a sudden rush of it takes place in the bi irners
of the lamps in the streets, and particularly in th ose in
the northern district of the town, by which glass as are
broken, and a very great amount of expense inc urred.
In factories it will be of great use, because it gig 'es an
equable light, and has no variations of blaze or . obscu-
ration, and in private houses and shops, in which costly
articles are contained, its use is self-evident. Itis in
operation at the premises of the patentees all day ',long,
and can be seen by anybody.—Times.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] Nervousness, Lowness of
Spirits, Disordered Stomachs, and Indigestion Cure I by
llolloway's Pills.—The causes from which these
plaints arise are too numerous for recital, yet not nine
lays the foundation sooner than a studious or Bede o tary
life, which disorders the nerves, and other distre sing
complaints follow such as deranged stomachs,:indigc etion,
and lowness of spirits. There is no medicine so c ertain
as Holloway's Pills in allaying the irritability c f the
nervous system, strengthening the tone of the stomach,
creating appetite, improvtng digestion, and invigo. rating
the constitution. Their purifying nature gives frt cdom
of circulation to the blood, so that by their 11E4 t the
afflicted are speedily restored to health. Sold by all
Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishini ,ent,

Mortar MARKET.—The premium on gold at 'aria
is 14 per mille, which, at the English Mint prici of
3Z 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.50; and the exchange at Paris on Lon don
at short being 25.45, it follows that gold is 0.20 per
cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
llambargh the price of gold is 436 per mark, whit h, '
the English Mint price of 3L 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard gold. gives an exchange of 13.104; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 1:1.101,
it follows that gold is 0.03 per cent. dearer in Ham) urgh
than in London.

CoxsiDERATE.—The editor of the Arkansas Journal
says:—" Where our office was two weeks ago now runs
the Mississippi river. Out of respect for the father of
rivers, we left."
