MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.

TuE FIRE Al THE Gas WORKS on Friday
night last was occasioned by the combustion
of gas in the engine room. There must have
been slight leakage in some way unknown,
and perhaps suddenly caused, as there was
but single burner lighted in the room which
is considered the most safe OF any OF The gas
buildings. The engine is used-we would say
for the benefit OF those who have asked the
question and who were unaware Of the use OF
it at the works-for the purpose Of exhaust
ing the gas from the clay retorts now used in.
stead of iron ones as formerly, for the purpose
OF greater economy in the cost of manulac-
turing gas, as they cannot bear the pressure
OF the full amount made 10 them. The diff
Guilty Of the burning OF tina gas since the fire
is owing TO air getting into the gas holder and
thence into the pipes, by reason of the work
ing Of the engine during the fire, and viii
soon be remedied.

A FIENDIsH AcT.-rhc person who left an
infant on the steps of a door on Oxford Street,
ia this city, on Saturday evening last, may be
fairly classed with those nsonstrosities in human
man shape who murder their parents, torture
their children by throwing them into the fire I!
This child was but few hours old, with
scarcely any clothes, put into handbook, aud
exposed to the bitterness. Of December night,
with the thermometer aigh to zero. If it had
not been for roguish boy, who seized the
handbook to make of with it, this wait Of
the hour" would have soon been frozen to
death. As it was, this innocent was frost Bit
ten in face, feet aud other parts. The COM
placency of the wretch who did the deed will
probably not be at all disturbed by this infor-
nation, as nothing short II roasting alive or
freezing to death Of the babe, would disturb
the stolidity of such brute,
