OF the COAL TRADE AND POPULATION OF TIL
UNITED STATES.
Washington sentinel., 1856-03-15

The inventor Of gas lights was French
man, Phillieppe lie Bon, an engineer Of roads
and bridges, who in 1885 adopted the idea
Of using, for the purpose Of illumination, the
gas dist from illed burning coal. He labored
for long time in the attempt to perfect his
crude invention, and it was not until 1899 thn,
he confided his discovery to the institute. In
September, 1900, he took out a patent and, in
1901, he published a memoir containing the
result Of his researches. lie Bon commenced
by dstilling wood, in order TO obtain from it
gas, oil pitch, and pyroligneous acid, but his
work indicated the possibility Of obtaining as by
distiation from fatty or oily substances From
1899 to 1901. lie Bon made numerous expert.
ments. Heestablshed at Havre his first thermo
lamps, but the gas which he obtained, being
mixture Of carbon, and bpt imperfectly freed
from its impurities, gavo only feeble light
and evolved an insupportable odor, and the
result was that but little favor was shown to the
new discovery; the inventor eventually died
by his experiments. The English soon put in
practice the crude ideas Of lie Bon. In 1904,
Windsor patented and claimed the credit OF
inventing the process Of lighting by gas; in
1904, several shops in Birmingham we're illu-
minated by gas manufactured by the process
Of Windsor and Murdock; among those who
used this new light was Watt, the inventor Of
the steam-engine. In 1916, the first gas was

Monuments OF Ninevsh.

In private note to the editors, Mr.. Wood.
American Consul for Syria, informs us that
fifty bores Of the monuments of disinterred
Nineveh, procured for different New England
colleges, reached Beirut in October, and only
four days after the departure of the last Boston
vessel for the season. 1t is thought best to
detain them till a Boston vessel arrives in the
spring. The boxes we're brought from Mosul
to Skanderoon on the backs Of camels; but
there being no American agent there, they re.
mained in that place for weeks, If not months,
before they were forwarded to Beirut
Mr.. Wood also informs us that very large
and valuable collection, almost enough for a
cargo, OF the monuments of the same city were
put upon RATS, by learned and enterprisnp
French gentleman, the last summer, the RATS
being supported by skin-bladders, as is the
common practice when the water Of the Tigris
is low, on which it was designated to float them
down to the mouth Of the river, where French
vessel waited to receive them. But the savage
Bedouins, when the French gentleman had left
his precious charge, thinking all was safe, and
intending to return to France overland, waded
into the river, and, cutting the bladders in the
mere love of baseness and mischief sunk the
whole to the bottom. Perhaps they may be
recovered when the warter is low, but of this
there is not much probability. - Boston

The Presidency.

We notice in various sections Of Ohio, pub.
lie sentiment is developing itself in regard to
who is the favorite of the people, as the nominee
of the Cincinnati Convention for the Presi-
dency. Buchanan meetings are being held,
and measures taken for full and fair express
sion of public sentiment in Ohio, as to who
shall be the standard bearer in the next cam
paign. We noticed few days since, call in
the Cincinnati Enquirer, for meeting of all
friendly to the nomination of that Statesman
as the Democratic candidate for the next Pres
ident. So we go. We believe the popular
sentiment of the country viii demonstrate the
man, before the meeting Of the Convention,
and the delegates will only have to go through
the "biank motions" of making nomination.
SO far as the nomination for President is con-
cerned. We hope to see nominated for the
second Office in the gift of the people. Hon.
John B. Weller, Of California. Lebanon (Oho)

The Death of ommodor. Abbo,.

The Friend Of China, of Dec Is, in record.
ing the death of Commodore Joel Abbott of
the United States squadron in the Chinese seas,
which took place the day previous, says:
1t is now two months since we told Of the
very precarious state of his Excelency's health,
and Of the fears entertained regarding his re.
covery. Determined to die in harness, how.
ever, he applied himself with much energy, on
his arrival here from Shanghae the other day,
to the task of resenting the slight offered to his
government as perpetrated on the person Of
the United States Consul at this port, and in
in ports at home. His Excelency's correspon.
dence on this subject, we are told, entirely up.
sets the argument Of Sir John Bowring, and
will be read hereafter with much interest.

The California Senator-The Know-no-
things Again Out-Generaled.

things Again Out-Generaled.
The American party have been singularly
unfortunate in their efforts to get footing in
the United States Senate. They had vacan-
cy to fill in Massachusetts,, and they elected
Gen. Wilson, who, almost Immediately there
after, pledged himself to smash up the party
into ten thousand fragments" They secured
the power of superseding w. 81. Seward, in
New York, and to the utter astonisment of the
uninitiated natives, Seward was triumphantly
reelected by Know-nothing votes. They had
the Legislature of Pennsylvania year ago by
an overwhelming majority, but in their efforts
to fill the vacancy of Mr.. Cooper, they broke
down upon Simon Cameron, and now ex Gov.
ernor Bigler, Democrat, who was defeated in
1854 for a reelection by thirty thousand ma.
jority against him, more or less, has shown the
supporters of Mr.. Cameron that "some things
can be done better than Others"
Last of all, the Know. nothings few months
ago carried the State of California, including
a majority upon joint ballot in the Legislature ;
bat they had too many candidates for the Sem
atorial seat of DR.. Gwin, and 20 to cut the
matter short, the lower house postponed the
Senatorial election till the first day of January,
1857, and refused TO reconsider the vote. The
probability, therefore, is that next fall the De-
mocrats VIII raly, carry the otate, ana re-eiect
DR.. Gwin and Col. Weller. Gen. Foote was
