who was present at the races in his capacity of Stewurd. His
Grate visited the course in great state, his carriage being drawn by
six beautiful bay horses, and attended by twelve outriders. Earl
Pastrami came in a carriage and eis, with twelve outrider% amid
four mounted servants; the Noble Earl seemed in *ha,
and was evklently gratified by the sport. The Gra liamitied
a good abew of fashion, the number of titled Ladles( being own.
roes, and the course altogether bad a very animated and hateastang
appearance. There were present the Duke of Leeds; Ma

4: ;: , • , /PORTABLE G-.AS LAMP.
. ---...--
Vfs, take credit to ourbelves rot being the first Jour-
I wirich took notice of this ihver.tioo, arid pi:inim-I
Ced that it was likely to prove beneficial to the public:
she result has justified our expectations; arid the en-
creasing use of Portable Gas In this Metropolis has
induced us to make some further inquiries on the subject.
44 is now upwards of sight years shire Mr. Goanow
took out a Patent for the Lamp in Scotland. In the
uuimn of ISIS he brpoght some of his Lamps to
Loridrui;* and showed theni Ica all-the Gas Companies
here ; at that time we had the pleasure to lee one of
them, with which we were much pleased ; but the Ma-
nagers
of the Gas Companies did not seem to think
I them applicable to general use; the invention, therefore,'
lay dormant for several years and might have done so
much longer, if it had not been for some public spirited
hsdivicloals who, in the beginning of 1823, established
the London Portable Gas Company, and engaged Mr.
GORDON to take the management thereof: Since that
time, Portable Gas has been gradually but steadily get-
ting into general use. When the Company was first
established, the Lamp wits violently attacked on the
score of danger, by one of the monthly scientific Publi-
cations, which was very successfully answered by Mr.
Goanos ; and; what is most satisfactory to the Public
is, that, among the many thousand Lamps which have
been circulating since that time in London and its
neighbourhood, not one accideni has occurred, and the
Invent* asserts, that it is physically impossible that an
undstentional explosion can take place. The Company
have lately obtained a Crown Charter, with a capital
of 250,0001. and are proceeding to increase their ma-
chinery so as to enable them to meet the encreasing de-,
mand for the Gas, which is used to an extent of which
we had no idea, until we made some late inquiries on
the subject. The Engineers for London Bridge, and the
London Ducks, acknowledge that they could not have
proceeded so well with the foundations of these works
by means of any other light. The Thames Tunnel has
made use of Portable Gas almost since the commence-

anent of that undet taking, and the Argyle Rooms were
lighted with it all last season. The Duke of York
Steam-boat, on her voyages to Lisbon, Gibraltar; Ma-
laga, and back, has for some time been altogether light-
ed with Portable Gas. The Penitentiary, London In-
stitution, and other Public Establishments, many
Churthes, and about 900 private Customers 'have
adopted Portable Gas, so that we think we are pretty
safe In again predicting that that species of Light will
get into general use in all large towns which can
affotd the expense of the requisite establishment,—
At present all .the new Churches in Mary-la-bonne
parish are being lighted with Portable Gag. Several
attempts have been made to introduce Portable
Gas in the. large Towns upon the Continent, but we
understated they have not yet been successful, probably
from the difficnky of their getting all the machinery
sufficiently perfect, and the unwillingne.s of Foreigners
to follow implicitly what has been done in this country.
In the beginning of 1825 a Provincial Portable Gas
Company WAS formed, which erected Works at Man..,
cheater and Edinburgh, but unfortunately that was at
the period of the Joint Sock Mania, and its progress
has been stopped by the difficulties which all such,
whether good or bad, have lately had to encounter.
We understand that the Edinburgh Establishment is to
be gives up for want of funds ; but that the Manchester
one is to be prosecuted under a new and vigorous ma-
nagement. We hear, however, chat it it probable the
former is likely to be taken up by another Company.
- We-observed at the London Company Works that *sir
Gas is now made from rosin, according to a plan for
which Mr. Daniel has lately btained a patent, and we
are informed that the Gas obtained thereby is equal in
brilliancy and durability to Oil Gas, at much less ex-
pense, which we think will be a great advantage to all
Oil Gas Establishments—as the high price of oil for
several years past has prevented them from being pro-
fitable concerns. We also observed at the London
Works that the Company have lately erected one of
Mr. Gurney's steam boilers, wherein the steam is gene-
rated by the circulation of the water through very
small pipes, Mr. Goanow speaks in the highest terms
of this species of boiler, on account of its safety and the
economy of fuel, especially in getting op the steam in
the morning, which instead of taking an hour sod half,
at formerly, does not now require more than a quarter
of an hour.
