WATER GAs.-The water gas discovery

WATER GAs.-The water gas discovery
would appear to be genuine, though |
fear will be an illusion, like that of Mr..
Paine, in America. The inventor has
proved his ability in Paris, to extract a
thousand cubic quarts of hydrogen from
twelve quarts of water. The hydrogen
needs purifying, but the expense is little
or nothing. The machine by which the
operation is effected is an electromagnetic
battery. Sea water is preferable to fresh
water. A gas company in this city is in
treaty with the inventor for the privilege
of lighting the capital; and a Southern
company of capitalists has made over
lures for the application of the invention
upon the Mediterranean, as fuel upon ten
screw steamers. There is no doubt about
the facts as 1 have given them: but
whether the inventor, the spectators and
the capitalists are not the victims of de-
fusion, is another matter. London Cor.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS,

The Mtelligencer contains elaborate
extracts from the reports of the various
officers of the Smithsonian Institution,
which are replete with useful and inter-
esting matter.
The Union surrenders most of space
for the day to the elaborate able and in
teresting speech of Senator Cass. on the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, delivered the day
before yesterday. The editor, however,
takes occasion to rejoice that the re-
cent Ohio Democratic State Convention
marched Tin their resolutions) straight up
on to the Baltimore Democratic Platform,
which, if we are not mistaken, is quite
a novelty in the history of "tbe party's'
in that quarter. ..-.-
The Sentinel discusses the Nebraska
bill, apparently tickled nightly at the
idea that the Albany alias may not stand
fire in defence of the doctrines of the
platform and the inaugural, in its consid.
Grafton. Of course, the editor also takes
occasion to give the Washington Union
more Independent support.
