Production OF GAs-Some improvements nj
valuable nature have been made in the manufac-
ture Of gas in England. The new processes are
based, first, upon an improved method of render
ing luminous the gases resulting from the perfect
decomposition Of water or steam, and. second
upon the conservative influence which hydrogen
exercises In protecting the matter upon which the
Illuminating power OF gas depends, from decom-
position by heat. The first point is gained by
condensing the water gases, and then passing
them through heated retort containing carbon
aceoas matter. and afterwards these gases are ad
mtted III regulated quantities into retorts, where
earbonaceous matter, is undergoing distillation
or decomposition, and by which they sre render
ed highly luminous. 1t is claimed that by this
plan upwards Of fifty per cent, may be added to
materials ordinarily used for that purpose, and
this too without any diminution of the illumina-
ting power.

GEORGETowN, April 3, 1857.
A large number Of the lovers of sport congrepa-
ted on the road leading from our city to Tenally-
town, yesterday afternoon, to witness a trial of
speed between two nags, one from Rockingham
county, Va, and the other belonging in our city
The distance ran was one fourth Of mile and
was won by the Rockingham horse beating his
competitor eight feet. Time, % seconds Not
withstanding the judges decided in favor of the
Tenth Legion nag, we understand that the losers
are dissatisfied, and the stake holders refuse to
''fork over''
The whole of the laborers on the Water Works
at the Great Falls struck for higher wages on
Wednesday. They have heretofore been receiving
81 per day they now demand 81 IS They are
required BY the keepers of the boarding shanties
TO pay BIZ cents per day, or 81 62h per week
board, which, deducted from their paw leaves
them only 62x cents per day, which they consid-
er rather too small a compensation for the per-
Torrance Of such labor.
We learn that the coal lands. heretofore owned
BY the Homecoming Coal Company. have been pur
chased by Mr. Hodges VINO intends working
the mines in the FIXTURE, and shipping his coal
from our city. This branch of trade upon our

the ensuing season, as We learn from Mr. Math,

transportation of coal, over one hund red boats
many OF which are now nearly ready TO DE
