Gas from Oi.-On the 18th of January, a
meeting took place at Hull, (Engand) 10 con
slider Of the proprlety OF lighting the town
with gas. Considerable discussion occurred
as to the comparative merits Of gas from oil
and from coal. Is was stated, that the oil
gas threw better light than that from coat.
that it required " smaller apparatus, that 1t
was free from that offensive smell, so injurious
TO breathe and destructive OF comfort, by which
coal gas was accompanied !; that it did not
corrode the pipes, nor tarniSh nor discolour
metals, silks, &c. as coal gas did, and that It
was used in Coven: Garden Theatre, 10 the
Argyle Rooms, in Whitbread's brewery, and
some other places" One OF the speakers
alleged on the contrary, tibet he produced
All gallons of gas from | | lbs. OF coal, which
cost penny. The coke produced was worth
penny, and the tar worth penny more, so
lbat he had a profit Of goo per cent, and the
gass for nothing. Besides, his gass had pro
duced no offensive smell, and Ne had not per
ceved that his pipes (Which were Of lead }
had been corroded. A letter was read, which
observed, that 1000 feet of oil gas would pro
duce Ugh, equal TO 1888 feet of coal gas.
1t appears that the EmperorAlexander is light,
ing his place at Sc. Petersburg wi.h oil gas.
The meeting unanimously agreed 10 resolu-
tons in favour Of gas from oil.
