gas company of that city the rate of $40 for each
light per annum, they were paying too much, adj
dressed circular to lSS gas companies, requesting
the desired information on the subject. The replies
to tn ose circulars go to show that 25 cities pay be-
tween $50 and $50 per annum; IS between $50 and
S4O 10 between $40 and So and S5O-the lowest
OF all being Louisville, at s2o and the highest,
Canandaigua, N. Y, and Nantucket Mass, at
$500. The city of London contracts with one
company for 100 lights at s2O50 and with another

CASTING HEAVY GUNs.-It is mentioned in late
London paper, that all the guns cast at the Royal
Standard Foundry, since the opening of that i'm
mense establishment, have been condemned as unfit
for service notwithstanding that experiments have
been almost daily carried on for the purpose Of as
ceraining the best description and the proper fu-
sion of the metals required The makers Of Amer
lean cannon are more successful than this. at a
recent trial at Castle Island, Boston, of gun
of nine inch calibre, for the purpose of testing its
endurance, it burst only at the ,532d fire. 500
fires having been made with ordinary service
charges of ten pounds of powder and shell weigh
ing seventy pounds, and % fires with bursting
charges, varying from 10 pounds of powder and
one shot of 80 pounds, to twenty pounds of powder
and ten shot weighing nine hundred pounds. This
last charge very nearly filled the gun 10 the muzzle
and burst it. The gun one of Capt. Dahlgren's
for marine service, and was cast by Aliger & Co.
The test was to ascertain the reliability of this
formidable engine Of war; Guns of this class weigh
ninety hundred pounds, and there was consumed in
the test no less than fifteen thousand four hundred
pounds of powder, while the aggregate weight of
shot and shells fired amounted to one hundred and
fifteen thousand pounds.
