The New Lime Gas in the English Mctrop-
/ N. ... 100 0Iia

II is stated in the London papers that the
new Slime gas light" which was promised to
supercede the present mode of gas-lighting,
has been tried on the new bridge of West
minister, and with great success, The light
is of dazzling brilliancy, a single JET being
equal to forty argand, or eighty iish-tail gas
burners, or as many, as four hundred wax
candles, while its brilliancy may be increased
by augmenting the quantity of gases supplied
in its manufacture. II was understood when
the invention was first discovered, that this
gas would be cheaper than that now in use,
but at present the only thing stated of it is
that it is immensely superior 10 the ordinary
form Of gas-light. 1t has long been the opin-
lon of scientific men, from q variety of expe-
riments in the manufacture of gas, that the
discovery of some cheaper. and better illu-
minator than coal gas ! was not remote, but
so FAR no positive results have been attained,
pIfticnfarly in the cheapehing OF gas which

The WoRKs OF FRAN CHS BAcoN.-The first
volume of the new edition of Bacons Works,
announced to be published July /, will not
be issued till September, The publishers,
Messrs. Brown h 'Taggard, have received a
letter from the English editor, Mr.. SPEEDING,
who has so interested himself as TO inform
them that if they will delay the issue till
September he will furnish them certain notes
and corrections, which will greatly add TO
the value of their edition. Having received
this kind offer from Mr.. Speeding, the pub
fishers think that it is due to their large list
of subscribers TO delay the issue, and thus
give the American edition further supe-
riority over the English.

The WHEAT CRoP IN OHILLI.--I'he wheat
crops in Chilli have been extraordinarily fine,
to such degree that prices have gone down
to ruinous figure for the Hacendados, and
now rule at about two dollars the faneja 1.-TWO
bushels aud a half. Many planters have had
immense crops, but as in many instances they
are only rentees of the Haciendas, theirrent,
in some instances as high as thirty thousand
dollars, eats up probably their profits. To
give you an idea of the value of these Ha-
ciendas, LA Oompania,p near Santiago,
could not be bought for three million of'dol-
lars-San jose bought three years ago by
the owner of "La Compania," for over half a
million, and "Limache" bought at public
sale few weeks since, by Mr.. Urmeneta,
in three hundred Thousand dollars, to which
add one hundred thousand more to supply it
with water. So you observe to give any
thing like fair interest on such sums large
returns are indispensable, particularly so
when the ordinary interest here is, on short
call, from ten TO twelve per cent, and that in
the best of hands.

 He cleaves the sundcred rock. In lonely awanps tho low wind stirs The belt OF black funeral frs, sa That murmar to the sky; Till, startled by his mad career, They seem to keep a hush of fear ? As if god swept by Through many a dark wild heart, of heatt Der booming bridges where beneath ]

 By singing waterfalls s4sss m The slumb,rer on his silent bed Turns to the light his lonely head

 And shrill night-rending scream. , Past huddling huts, past flying farms, High furnace flames, whose crimson arms
 Are graphing with the night, 8eas He tears along receding lands, To where the kihgly city stands,

 And every smile is known. We thank thee, o thou Titan train, That in the city once again,
