The Foreign News.

The Philadelphia ard Liverpool Line o
Steamers has achieved another triumph, and
furnished US with three days later news from
Europe.
The news is no! very important. England
has acceded TO the demand for q new Con.
fence of the European Powers to interpre,
The late treaty, and although she processes to
have limited The powers of The Conference,
il is evident that she has been overruled
rather against her will by her desire 10 keep
on good terms with her ally, France, whose
power she fears and whose friend.hip she
cannot afford TO lose.
Matthews, The English Consul al Philadel.

An insureclion has broken out in Sicily,
but il is doubtful whether il will prove very
formidable 10 the government, as it seems TO
bs rather local than genera! in its character.

How Coal Gas is MADE.-The
process of making coal gas is much SIN.
pier than many people imagine. Btu.
minous coal is thrown into a hot cylinder
Of iron, the mouth of which is closed
carefully by an iron door, with the edges
cemented by soft clay The vapor sri-
sing from the coal is received into tube,
by m cans Of which it is perm itted to es-
cape into a series of vessels. where i, is
Cooled and deposits much Of its impure
matter. 1t is then passed into another
series of vessels containing quickIime.
which robs it of its sulphurous and other
intermixtures. From this receiver it
flows purified, as We find it in use. into
the gasometer, and is from thence distrib-
utcd. as it may be needed. through drains
and service pipes, into various parts Of
the city. The highly charged bitumi.
nous Goals are found best adapted to the
purposes of gas-making. In the manu.
facture of gas from Newcastle coal, a
chaldron weighing ~ cw,. is found to
yield $3.50 cubic feet of gus, IA cwt.
weight of coke, l23 gallons ammoniacal
liquor, II gallons of thick tar. Camel
coal will yield upon an average 1900"
cubic feet of gas to the ehaldron.
The BLINDNESS OF FoRTuNE.-It is
Just as we'll that Fortune is blind, for if
she could only see some Of the ugly, stu
pid, worthless persons on whom she
showers her most precious gifts, the sight
would so annoy her that she would i'm
mediately scratch her eyes out
