The whole interior and exterior of the New Mint,

been lighted with gas, by means of an apparatus

gas for illuminating this establishment is pre-
, aot by distilling vial in retorts, but by means
a tea feet cylinder, which revolves horizontally
4 its axis, and produces every twenty-four hours
4tiantity of gas to light 1,6ar0 lamps. The
_.ion of the trued gas is effected in its nascent
by chlorine, instead of quicklime, and all the
sod outlet mains and branch pipes are made to
' shut by self-acting mercurial valves. The
of gas daily made, and consumed by the bur.

by a machine, impelled and kept in motion by
,asticity o the gas. • The effect of the numerous

'lt is already ascertained, that there will be consider-
able deficiency ender the head Of Excise, bat the

4570,000, which, with an increase in the .Stamps,
will more than compensate for the loss.
The relations of friendship between Russia and the
Court of Rio Janeiro, are likely soon to be completely
reatored. 'The Russian Minister Baron de Bum',
who left Brazil for London, will, it is said, after re-
ceiving new instructions, return to Brazil. It is,,
known at Count de VILLANOVAt who is become
LPri t %incr. in the place of Count de &up.. and
Cottile'Pal.iaecca, late Portuguese Minister to the
Co 'Whltifilie; and now Minister for Potato Mitts
asidßilhast Woe Court of Rio Janeiro, ltiialrreidy
repaayiflltexpressed themselves in favourviitussii...
There is reason to believe, that, agreeably ettlse,ad-
vice of those two Ministers, the Court of Portugal
will adopt a system different from that which it has
hitherto pursued. The recal of the Portuguese sloops,
which had remained at Monti Video, is considered
as the result of this change of system.

came from Antwerp to purchase fish, etc. at Yar-
