HOUSES Rents, &c.-The first of May being
at hand houses and housekeeping attract atten-
ton. $1,000 per annum, says the New York
Tribune, is now the rent of respectable house
and as no prudent man will pay no more in
rent than quarterof his income, the city world
is in trouble, not many having an income of
four thousand dollars The alternative, adds
the editor, is to live in boarding house.
Aman by himself may getalOngm aboarding-
house, just as he may get along in ship, a bar
rack, or a bivouaclk; but boarding house is no
place for man who aims at the domestic coma
forts of married life, and for a man with fami-
" of children, in addition to all its other miser
les, tits even more expensive than housekeeping.
If things go on as they have of late years,
New York will soon become, like ancient Rome,
place in which marriage is held in detcstntiOn.
The only kind of love in vogue here will be free
love, aud the only possible chance for New York
damsels who aspire TO enter into the comfortable
and holy state of matrimony, will be to emigratc
to Utah, where the simple style of living ena-
bles the men to keep large household establish
ment, and to supply by works of supcrerogatiOn,
in the shape of duplicate marriages indefinitely
repeated, AID the shortcomings of the outside
heathcn.

most celebrated chemists of the age. After wit

hearing of the maryeIs of science, a young lady
grew fatigued, and requested her husband to
lead her from the hall.

The lady, much surprised, turned to look at
her reflection in the mirrorcd window Of shop
they were passing, and was almost pctrifed to
observe that the rogue on her check had become
blue, in consequence of the chemical decomposi-
ton occasioned by the gas the professor had
usedin making his experiments. Shcquickly wi

that she would find herself amply rcyenged,

the lecture closing at this moment, the audience
began to disperse and the gentleman and his
wife almost burst with laughter Mt the sight of
checks of yellow. blue, black, violet and other
colors, which now made their appearance in the
street Some Of the ladies, who had manufactu-
red for themselves ivory compilations, rosy
cheeks, coral lips and ebony eye brows, were so
transformed that they would have excited the

LYNCH LAW IN Fun CHAU.-Thc New York
Express publishes the following extract from a
letter from China, dated December 8, 1856:
"Our peaccablc suburbs were scene of I'M
wonted uproar yesterday afternoon. A Canton
man quarrcled with Fuh Chau man in the
street and killed him on the spot He was in
stantly seized by the mob, and with his hands
tied behind him. taken to the top of the hill back
of the foreign hohgs, and bound to pine tree.
The wife ofthc deceased coold took nail and
drove itinto the body, shoulders, breast, tenn
pies, and eyes of the writhing culprit aided and
Allotted by furious multitude in her bloody
revenge. The man was just alive at shutdown,
several hours after. saw the manglcd body
this morning. The head was a perfect mass of
gore. The conduct of the woman was loudly
aPplauded by the natives, who will doubtless
erect a'monumcnt of granite to the memory of
yirtuous indignation.
The Mandarins Offered to take the offender
into custody, but she resented their interior
encc, and insisted upon her right, from immcmo-
rial custom, to avengc her husbands death, and
boldly accused the officials, in the presence of
the crowd, of taking brides and letting the gull
ty go free. At home the Cantonites are the
most insolent Of any people in China to foreign
erS, and they carry that insolence with them to
other ports. There are two thousand of them
here greatly excited by the barberous deed, and
threaten revenge. a party of marines has been
sent for, from II. B. NJ. ship ofwar Race Horse,
toprOtect foreign residents, in the event of an
outbreak between them and the Fuh Chauans.

EXPLOSION OF THE Gas WoRks.-At three o.
clock on Sunday morning the city was startled
from its slumbcrs by terrific explosion follow
ed by the fire alarms. On proceeding to the
point indicated, We found that the purifying
house at the gas works had blown up, and three
men seriously burnt 1t appears that one of
the chains at the corner of tic purifier had by
some means become broken, and tho pressure of
the gas within forced the cover out of the water
joint, thus suffering the gas to escape into the
building. The night foreman and two other
hands went into the purifying house to ascer-
tain where the leak was, it is presumed with a
naked lamp, instead of the "Davy;" when ter
to pieces, column of fire shot up to the sky,
then came hail of timbers, rafters, and bricks,
and all was over. a more complete destruction
never was witnessed. From the foundation up
ward not one brick remains upon another, and
the roofing and beams are shattered to atoms,
but not one particle of the machinery injured.
a good deal of glass in the neighborhood was
shattered, and some of the sashes driven in m.
