The Unlen and mr.. Cobb.

The Washington Union extols Mr.. Co.'s, OF
Georgia, for his foresight in refusing to sign the
Southern Address, and In opposing the Nash
vile Convention. The case of the Southern
Democracy is hard. The Southern Address
was approved by the former editor of the Union
who denounced the Southern Wings for not
signing it. The Nashville Convention was &C.
tuay attended by the present senior editor of the
Union. Yet, now are the Southern Democrats
virtually condemned for following the counse
and example of their organs-or rather for not
lodging or boiling from the course with equa
dexterity. And Mr.. CoBB is extolled. AS the
man who undertakesto eulogize Mr.. CoBB must
have a genius and taste Of peculiar quality, We
cannot do justice without quoting passage
from the effort. Thus:
Under the influence of this conviction, he
opposed the Southern address which emanated
from Mr.. Calhoun, and out Of which may bt
said 70 have come the Nashville Convention
and he went to work to put in motion the patrio
tic agency which produced the compromise, anc
which has been finally crowned by the expires
sion which came up with so much unanimty
Let us ace how this sentence would rcac
backwards. An expression came up in favor o
healing measure, and crowned the patriots
agency, which Mr. CoBB ,oent 10 cork 10 put i,
motion
We are not surprised that the confusion o
fancy that mixes SO many homogeneous metaphors
In one sentence, should form Union with the
judgment that approves the compromise, and the
taste that admires Mr.. CoBB. If to the display
of these faculties thus made, we add the reason
which deduces that the election of Mr.. Corr
against vote about four-ffths Democratic, is
Democratic demonstration in favor of the com
promise, we think the Union is quite as grea
phenomenon in PHYSIOLOGY, as the eompro
mise it supports, is in politics. .... ......,

sin Il. L. BULwEE.--Had this distinguished
and accomplished gentleman expressed himself
in terms Of scorn and contempt for the author
of the late miserable forgery, we could have
approved his sentiments; but by his revealing
his contempt only in words of pleasantly, how
ever scathing their rebuke, he has done much
better, and shown himself superior to emotions
of anger toward men whom, according to our
convictions, no one can defend without disgrace
If Mr. Bulwer had, in spirit of resentment,
offered an insult to the Irish, the Scotch, the
Welsh, or any other portion of the adopted citi-
zens or residents of this country, we would have
sympathized with them in their indignation, and
deemed him unworthy the high position he
occupies. He has not done so, however. A
right understanding of his speech admits Of no
offensive construction, and his note of explana-
ton is all that good feeling and courtesy could
prompt, and all that people who can appreci-
ate justice and magnanimity should ask.
1t may be that politicians or demagogues OF
one or both parties viii concur in misrepresent-
ing and denouncing Mr.. Bulwer, in the hope OF
profting by the prejudices they may excite.
The self-respect of every citizen of the United
States, of 'Celtic" origin, should prompt hin,
to repel and rebuke so base and unprincipled a
design.

Music AND FUN AT THE ADELPHI.--That the
expectations raised in the public mind by the
appearance of the bills of the Carncross Family
were fully realized at the Concert last night,
the crowded house and the long rounds Of ap-
plause gave sufficient evidence. Their bill for
tonight presents attractions of the highest
order for all who love sentiment in singing and
music, or fun in the delineations of Yankee

liza dances heavenly; and Mr.. Henry brings

| Observation-Disclosures whose independence
| gals the absolute monarchs Of Europe, and
whose free spirit battles their schemes of uni
versal bondage, has at last become marked
victim for Russian subjugation, andnow awakens
the intense interest of the liberals of the old
world, and cannot fail to excite a keen and
lively sympathy in the hearts of the American
people. The Cologne Gazette contains the fol-
lowing eloquent passage, in reference to this
meditated death-gripe of the rugged Russian
Bear" 1t is Russia that is driving on coercive
measures in Switzerland The Russian En-
peror fancies he has the diUme calling to restore
order (despotismD in Europe. Having sue
ceeded to his hearts content in Germany he is
carrying out his plans with vigor, but without
haste, westward. Like the blades of pair of
scissors, Russia stretches forth her two proteges
Austria and Prussia, to cut off the buds of free
dom whenever they appear. Already, in 1847,
before the war of the Sonderbund, Russian di-
plomacy guided the measures against Switzer-
land, which were frustrated by the slowness of
Lord Palmerston and the activity of M. Dufour
The crime of Switzerland is, that it has selected
q constitution Of its own, without paying any
regard To the admonitions of the great powers
that sought to force their protection upon it.
1t is therefore called focus Of revolution the
Alps are looked upon as volcanoes of insurrec-
ton" So that Russia has mission, under his
Satanic majesty, to strangle infant freedom in
every land; but these infants may yet become
giants and strangle the Bear.

GAs.-Illuminating gas is first spoken Of in
history in the year 1864, when DR.. Clayton
made known that combustible illuminating gas
was produced during the decomposition of coal
by heat, and that this could be collected. 1t was
observed and experimental on, century after,
by Drs. Hales and Watson.
Lord Dundonald built some coke furnaces in
1886, and amused himself by collecting the
evolved gases in tubes and burning them, but
without any definite object.
| Since the year 1892, another Scotchman by
the name of Murdoch, to whom we are indebted
for the invention Of the useful application Of
gas, occupied himself necessarily with expert
ments up to the year 1896; which efforts were
crowned, in 1798 by the erection of gas works
for illuminating the mandatory Of Boulton and
Watt
| Independently, and about the same time,
Philip LIE Bon, Frenchman, succeeded in
illuminating his house, by ON apparatus in which
he evolved the bad gas from wood, probably Q
mixture of carburetted hydrogen, carbonic acid
and carbonic oxide gases.) The first estab
lishment for the manufacture Of coal gas wat
erected in London, in the year 1906.
In the year 1808 Mr.. Samuel Clegg con
structed an apparatus for producing gas, ant
communicated to the Society of Arts, in Man
chester, and silver medal was voted Mr.. G
for his communication. Mr.. Murdoch, the same
year, made n communication on the subject o
gas-light to the Royal Society, and was compli
mented with Count Rumfords medal for the
same. Gas was employed for street illumina
ton in London in the year 1872, and in Pari'
in the year 1915.
In 1923 there were four large gas companies
in London. At the present time the annua
consumption of gas in the city Of London j,
5000 million cubic feet; equal to about 90, 00t
to $4,000 tons.
