L.. . j- ,J . ' " These mishaps and procrastinations have acted tvery unfavorably is preventing appropriations t'-. being made by U Legislature, as wall as deter. ring Individuals from subscribing towards these ; great and useful works. I am sure that there are : vet many who entertain'doubU, and are unwilling ; to give their money and exertions, .or credence to i ; the truth which has beea fuilv brought to light by ; - the well -directed efforts of Mr. Wui. atcClane in , tanking the shaft at Egypt; this fully tabliohed ; the existence of the veins of coal, and jleft no rea son to doubt the existence of a coal basin and large quantities of the bet bituminous coal as well as a f' rent variety of iron ores which had been noticed , y Prof. Emmons,' the State Geologist tn many localities, and I can now add that it is fully con j timed by the recent examination of the Commis sion ; indeed, there are few places to be found in our country where there is such a concentration of material, and which can be mined with so little ' ' toil and expense ; an abundance of the best fuel, consisting of charcoal and the mineral coals sus ceptible of being advantageously coked, in great vi variety and quantity for all purposes of the arts as , I well as domestic uses. ; J t Although these deposits of coal and iron in the. Deep; River country will not bear sv comparison 7 , wita the vast fields and. mountains of these miner als n our Western States, yet owing to their posi- "- .tion, proximity to market and adaptability ce ma ny purposes of the arts, it' is far before them in j value, of great interest to your State, and I con sider of national importance -- i ! I -4 I The outcrop of the bituminous coal has j been . traced 18 mils, and . five, seams of coal found at . the surface. The shaft at Egypt is sunk to the depth of 40 feet and includes the lower coal seam, and by It wear assured tbattHere are four coal seams, two having united as they descended ; . I be largest is there . found to be 6 feet wide, sepa rate from the others br beds of carbonate of iron known as the" Black Band." ' ' . The coal has been proved to be of the best quali fy of bituminous coals. It is a shining rloan coal, resembling thebet specimens of Cumberland ; it ignites easily, burns with a bright, clear combus- tion, and loavet very little ash; it swells and ag " glutinatei, making a hollow Are; is a desirable 'coal for the parlor grate and for blacksiniths' use; is well adapted for fuel, coking and oil; and is uperior to taostv Coals fur,' the production of gas, 1 for which it will be in great demand ; it is almost entirely free from sulphur; iu ooke is light and fvrous; when rapidly burned, it inclines to smelt am flew, but when under flow combustion it does , not exhibit this tendency, which is owing to the presence of large quantities of bitumen ; . it does ' sot easily disintegrate when exposed .to the at 1 xoosphere. -- H ' ?- 1 I think every one who visits this coalfield must be satisfied from the regularity of its scams, and "the diminution of the dip as it descends, (proved ' to be some 8 or 10 degrees in the shaft of Egypt, wnicn is 1300 reet witnin tne outcrop.) that its Meanis conform to thshape of a basin, or trough, . and I am satisfied that the greatest depth will lie on the northern side ol the axis of the "trough, and that this valuable mineral does notextend to such r depths as td render its mining difficult, , but, on the contrary ."both easy and.profitable. The ore of Iron consist of the Black Band, in juxtaposition with the coal seams, and bo situated as to be regularly mined with the coal ; Specular, HemaUtic, the Argillaceous and Magnetic ores are all found to be rich, and in quantity, and for their manufacture, besides the mineral coal, there if abundance-of wood fT charcoal ; the "uncleared lands of this district stifl have the primatite for- t growing upon them, and charcoal can ; be ob ' - tained in any quantity and at a cheap rate ; and there can. be no question, but that the best quality i of Iron can be manufactured there, and that there 14 no locality m our country where a beUer .and cheaper article can be produced; Fire clays fb refractory furnaces, building materials - of sand - stone, gneiss, and granite, millstone grit and fine sandstone, roofing slates, and sands for the manu . ,toture of glass, and porcelain clay, of which there is a Urge tract, ' There are alio rich copper mines and quarries of soap stone and agalmato- lite. ; The proximity of the Deep River Country to - market gives it groat advantages, and I think in sures its becoming at no distant day a populous manufacturing district.; The bulk of coal and Iron in its raw state . renders its atransportatio n expensive, and will cause the erection of .manu factures on the spot, which will be more econom ical and profitable.' I am of opinion that when such is the case, very little coal can be afforded to be shipped, except it be for the production of gas, which may be able to afford the prices it will com mand tor the manufacture of Iron. . ' I would, however, remark,. that all these miner , alt and materials are valueless, en less the .routes are opened and every convenience afforded to reach the district, riot only with easy aad safe transportat'on, but in the quickest possible time from all parts of your State ; and unless this is ef ' lerted they must remain entirely dorment. i ' . I think it must be apparent that it cannot be expedient for the General Government to estab lish machine shoos for the construction of ma chinery, c, fcc.,for naval vessels.until this district is shown to be accessible from every direction The completion of your Western Railroad and slack-water navigation will tend in a great measure logiwuieiacuiiie lorspeeay ana sure transporta tion for both passengers and freizht. ; .1 ! To acquire some estimate of thequanatyofooal, . and allowing but half the width of the basin ' for the extent of an coal, we shall have the area of 7S square sailea ; this gives An eppproximaooa to - the quantity rf mineral wealth lacked up in this district '. Surely no legislatnre can hesitate for a moment toexpediterits development by any means in its power, . . . Although we hsvs so actual proof to offer, -yet there can be little doubt that the extent of the coal muht underlie the basin. I was desirous to ttUce this beyond question, and had it been in my j-ower, I should have ordered borings to be made -unsidermg it or great importance in a national j'"int of view; but as there was n appropriation to meet iu expenditure, it could not be made. Having thus given you a short synopsift. I will close, referring you to my official Report for the jmrucuian or iny examination and the conc'usiont at -which.

In a recent editorial review of the President' Annual Message, voa avow the opinion thai its departures, from thejrules of political faith aid dowh by the Damoeratic Republican party have D-tt txth marked and frequent.. Concurring with you in mwt of your objections, 1 would res- Dcctfiilly inviievtnr attention, and tht of the United States.ito a departure more fracant and far mOre torious, not only from true Republican principle, but from the plain letter and spirit vt the Constitution'. I allude to the President's de clared intention; on the concurrence of; a coiitin gent event, 6T making war for it is. nothing les --on a foreign State, without the previous sane tion of Congress. -Read his own words and sav whether they do not verify the charge : "ine executive government ot tnis country, in its intercourse with foreign nations,, is limited to the employment of diplomacy alone. When this fails, it can proceed no further.. It cannot legiti niately resort to force, without the. direct authori ty of Congress, except in resisting . and repelling hostile attacks- " It would have no authority to enter the territories of Nicaragua, even to prevent the destruction of the transit, and protect the lives and property of our own citizens on their passage. It is true, that on a certain emergency of this character, the President would direct any armed lorce- in ine vicuuty to marca 10 meir reuer ; dui in doing this he would act upon hisown respon- siUiIity." - ' y Before I offer any observations on the extraor- stinary announcement contained m ine last sen tence of the above paragraph, I will advert to an expressie&. iaihe first, which my perhaps justify a passing comment: The phrase, "executive gov ernment, ' is there used to design ate tneomccr en trusted with the executive power. J That officer is the PresidenL ' "The executive power," savs the Constitution, "shall be vested in a President of the United States."' The compound term, there fore, "executive government," is not only incor rect and redundant, but conveys, constitutionally peaking, a false impression. : It is as inaccurate as would be the expression, judiciary government or legislative government, to denote the depart ments in wnicu the judicial and legislative pow ers are respectively vested. Neither the Judicia ry, Congress, nor the President, separately consti taUw the "government ; each is but a component aad k -ordinate branch ; and the pretention of su premacy seemingly assertedby tho President, to nearly resembles the arrog&nt bosst of Lou;s L Grand, to be tound in a state paper emanating fmro the chief servant of a limited Republic es pecial' v from one claiming to stand on th plat form of the Democratic Re publican 'party. A Patrick Henry would say, Itha anawfvl squint ing; it tquinli oi monarchy." - But to return I Nothing in the whole paragraph quoted above, luritil we reach the concluding sn . twice, could be naore unexceptionable than thv President's views; cf the powers and duties of the Executive in conducting our intercourse with! for eign nalione. Itis'timited, he tells us, lodip'&maa alone, and if that should fail, it. can proceed no further; that tf oonnor reorr to force without the direct authority of Congress ; nay, be admits emphatically, that it would ave nt authority "to enter the territories of Nicaragua even to prevent the destruction cf the transit and protect tht lives and property of ourcstixena. ' Yet, in the very next breath he declares, that on a sudden' emer gency of this character, he would direct an armed force to march to their relief. Was ever a con clusion more at war with the premises ? DM. any absolute potentate ever more boldly proclaim a meditated and palpable usurpation T Has SenaJ tor Seward himself ever affected a loftier power to dispense with the laws and Constitution of the Union? ' 5, Bui in doing this, the President adds, he would act ! on kis own responsibility. Indeed I The President cannot have forgotten that 'he has sol emnly sworn in the face of the nation, faith fully to execute the office he holds, and to preserve, protect, and defeat the Constitution of the United States. ' He is perfectly aware that withouttbe sanction or Cop gross, in wnom ine war-making po wer is exclusively vested, he has nauthority to do the act be contemplates, i et he will do it upon his own responsibility. Do what?' Doliber ately violate bis oath. ' Not that Mr. Buchanan can rjossiblv so regard it. But isitanvthinsr loss? Cain the bold avowal of acting on bis own respon sibility discharge: him irom toe obligation that oatli imposed or atone for violating the- Constitu tion, from which be alone derives bis powers 7 Why, then Seward , should he venture to carry into practice his higher-law dogmas; all offenders, indeed, against law or -morality, .may equally claim the same merit, nd rest on the same de fence. But far from extenuating, this plea must ever be deemed an aggravation of guilt the greater when offered by men occupying positions of high trust and commanding influence, and sup posed, therefore, to be impressed with a due sense of political and moral duty.. It is calculated to weaken that sense in others ; for whenever respon sibility shall eventuate in impunity, the public at large tnay be apt to regard the offence itself as too -venial for punishment ; nay, in the case of a high and daring offender, to forgive, if not to applaud the crime, through admiration of the hardihood which prompted its commission. ! Responsibility, forsooth f The responsibility of a President elected by a popular vote, and holding the sword and the purse of the nation ! Just such responsibility as President Polk incurred by ma- king war on Mexico or Gen. Jackson for seizing on the public treasure, proclaiming martial -law, imprisoning citizens,' and arrogantly threaten ing a sovereign State of the Union with federal vengeance. Responsibility through means , of impeachment! An! impeachment by the House of Representa tives, to be tried by the Senate ! Who shall bell the .cat? How many "will raise their voices against the commander-in-chief pf the army and navy, and the dispenser of millions? i Let historv U1L ,' . Presidents have been accused, on th floor ot Congress, and elsewhere, with malfeasances in of fice too notorious to be denied Under the single power of appointment they have been convicted, in numberless ms'ances, of placing and retaining in office corrupt men from corrupt in.tiys. The proois are upon record. And what th'en ? All is told. is , j t When the danger of such abuses was tirg"d as an objection to the Constitution, Mr. MdisKn treated it as utterly: destitute- of wfight. i Such was the purify of hisown hart,! that he could not conceive how an; American I'ridont could so tar forget his duty as to use the patronage with which he was endowed for the public good, in rewarding personal or party subserviency ; and he insisted, that nsucn souses should ever, occur, thoy would subject the f resident to impeaebment and removal Could that upright '.states jnan rise from his tomb, how would he not be amased and mortified to find the progress of his successors in the brif space of a single generation T Slavish partizans, supple dem- agogueshave become the favored recipients of executive patronage, anu shame to. say, of popu lar approbation. . All who' will not bend the knee to party idols are treated as heretics from the true faith, alien enemies of that country many oi them would die to save ; forced to bear a full share of all the public burthens, while excluded from any just participation in the honors and benefits of the Gove.nment. Is not the .fact1 alone that con duct regarded by onr fathers, by the wisest and purest of our- law-givers, as too infamous to be credible, has become the settled policy of tho Pre sidency, sanctioned by those who should punish it, and stilr worse by the avowed or tacit approval of the people themselves a sad proof of our rapid descent into the depths of profligacy ? And must it not grieve the heart of every lover of free in stitutions, which can alone rest durably on the vir tue of the people, to know that this opprobrium may be uttered against us, and' may not be repel led? 1 " ' i . . , - i I No. Mr Buchanan may carry out his resolution without incurring the, danger of an impeachment i aud if at the next meeting of Coi.grwa, he can in form them not that us war exists, but that it is over, and a new territory annexed to the federal domain far from being impeached, will not so bold and successful a stroke of state policy in sure his ready pardon for dealing a blow a death" blow, indeed, to the Constitution of ms country 7 I will not think yet, that a majority of mv countrymen will approve the : evil for the sake of the 50 id. But the majority are not politiciaiia bv trade.

Chief Justice of the Supremo Coiirt- of North Carolina, in the 8th yenr of .his agv The Conspicuous official poiition-of'this. gen tin men, and the large space he so long occupied in the public estimation and confidence, no less than the virtues which endear him to this communify, of which he was almos-t the , oldert citizen, de mand of us some fitting notice of his life and character. Descended of a family which was early established in the province of North Car olina, and which numbered among its members distinguished writers, epeakers, and sdldiers m the cause of the Revolution, educated in the iigbt of their fame and example., himself not un frequently a member of the Legislature of the State, at intervals for a period of five and twon ty years, an associate and rival of her ablest law yersj" a reviser of her statutes, a dispenser of jus tice on the Circuit, and Supreme Court Bench, in all for near the third of a century, and always with, honor and approbation, there is much . in his history which belongs to his country. : . His father, Abner Nash, Esq., of Newborn, a tuwyer by profession, was one qf the most efl'oc ttye'leaders of the Revolutionary movement in North Carolina, succeeded Caswell as the second Republican Governor, in 1780, and died a mem ber of the Continental . Congress from North Carolina at Philadelphia in 1784 or 5. An un cle of the deceased, Francis Naeh, of Ilillbbo rough, a Brigadier Ger e al in the Continental line, : who received his dath wound in the battle of German town, Pennsylvania, under the imme diate command of WTashington, is well known as one of the martyrs of the State in the great cause of National Independence. Frederick Nash, on whom. the grave ;has re cently closed, was born" at Pembroke, hear New born, in the year .4 781, was graduated at Nassau Hall. Princeton, early in the present century, pursued his legal studies under the supervision of bis brother-in-law, the . late Judge Harris, of Newbern, and was. admitted to the bar in Cra ven county, about the year 1804, wh-n Benjamin Woods, Edward Harris, x rancis savior Mnrun and younzer than these, John Stanly and Wil iam Gaston, illustrated the profession inthat ndin'r. lie was earlv recoenized as a worfhv cjtnpeer of these eminent men, receive smoioy m-nt in his protession, and in the years 1804 5, represented the town of JNewbern in the ral Assembly: , ine climate 01 ine low country heme more insalubrious tnen than now, he was induced b' his car for a rising family, in 18C6, to .transfe hi) residence to ttuisDorougn, wnica ras ever ince been his home. In the Years 1814, 15, 16 and 1 7, and again in 1829 and 2,- he was a mem ber of the House of Commons from the countv Orange, or town of Hillsborough ; and in tb deliberations of the Legislature bore a leading nd i-ifluential part, characterized alwavs bv con servative principles, enlightened labors,. nd ef fective and ready eloquence. U"e of his speeches in this body,, on 4 bill to suppress the practice of duelling introduced by himself, was oeemed, by the late Chief Justice Taylor, of such high merit as to worthy of preservation in-his "Caroliai Law Kepcitory," ''here it was republished with the reports of adjudged cases 'and other interest ing documents of. that day 1 Uthers may no doubt be found, in the contemporary newspapers, notwithstanding the Irequency ot reports of de bates of the General Assembly ; and wherever found, abounding in the liberal views, patriotic sentiments and manly integrity, which belonged to their author. But though of decisive political opinion?,' and participating occasionally in Legislative affairs, it was to his profession, at the Bar, and upon the Bench; that his active manhood of about fifty-five years, was manfully devoted." And with this, he was destined to run his race with no ordinarv competitors. On his removal to Hillsborough, he came lato a generous rivalry wuh Cameron and Norwood, Murphy and Kuffin, Yancey and Sea well, before his promotion to the Bench ; and in the interval between his resignation of this ap pointment, and his second electron, with cadger, Devereux, Haywood, Hillman, Mangum, More head, Settl, and others yet engaged in the labors of the Bar or the Bench ; by all of whom his abilities were ankdowledged, his assistance valued, and his elevated standard of .professional honor and rectitude duly appreciated. , He was first elected a Judge of the Superior Courts in 1818, and continued on the Beach un til 1826, when an inadequate support from his salary compelled his return to the bar, at which he , continued for teni years. During the latter portion: of this period,' under the appointment of the Governor and Council, he was one of the Commissioners who prepared the Revised edition of the Statutes which went into operation' on the 1st of January, 1838, in conjunction with the late Hon. James Iredell, Gavin Hogg, Esq., and the, Hon. William H. Battle. He was again ap" pointed by the .Legislature a Judge of the bupo rior Courts in 1836, and served in that office with general acceptance, until hrs promotion to the Bench of the Supreme Court, as successor of the late Judge Gaston, in 1844. From that time un til his decease, be bad labored usefully and as siduously ? in the highest judicatory of the State, and since the retirement of the Hon. Thomas Ruffin in 1852, had held the station of Chief Jus tice, During the last two terms he had been dis abled by. sickness, from taking his accustomed part in the business of the Court; but being great ly benefitted by a visit to the Mineral Springs of Virginia the past summer, he had flattered him self,., with perfect restoration, nowithstanding bis ad v arced age, and seemed eager again for his judicial labors, until an attack of Pneumonia prostrafd his hopes and terminated his life in a few days. ; This brief recital of the" employments of his life, is far from doing justice to his talents or hi vinues. , In the judgment of bis brethren on the circuit, his numerous clients, and the people wh attended the curts and remember his lo-rt-nsic efforts twenty-five years -g, be is entitled to be ranked among the fi'St orator3. and most suc-essfu1 advocates that th State has produced.

' His elevated bearing as a practition"-, Lis soorn for chicanery and mere cunning, his genial and so cial temper in hour? df relaxation.'his paternal kindness to the junior members of the profession, will long l remembered by his as-ociates, and emmend rim as a model for ituitatit n . It as perhaps in the capacity of a Circuit Judge, that hi was most appreciated by the pub lio and was most eminently useful to tho State. Administering the law in the immediate presence of the people of every section, h brought before tKerh a character as unspotted as the ermine which was once the embldu of ins office, a dig nity withont arrogance, a firm and inflexible exer tion of authority witho'ujostentation of power, a pa tience and curtesy to which deferencetwas yielded without exaction, and satisfying all not only of the l correctness of his intentions, but of the caltirress and fairness of his judgement ; he yet upheld the majesty of the law, and punished vice and crime with a certainty and severity which, has been a terror to evil-doers .even to this day. In this sphere of act on he , became ; known throughout the State, not merely as an able and useful Judge, but one of the most humane, be nevolent and- exemplary gentlemen of the age in which he livedo Few men, Ve believe, have ever lived in NorthCarolina for whom there have been a more universal and profound, veneration and affection. . 1 j ' It was not merely, however, id" the high places of the world that- be was thus known and es teemed. His" social and .domestic character was the admiration of those who knew him best.- This is sufficiently attested in the general sorrow and hjart-folt sympathy and condolence with'; bis surviving widow and family which pervades the entire; community in which, he so long lived. His christian profession was uniformly and con sistently sustained in an ordered and enl ghlened piety, an enlarged nerevolncc, and active exer tions. ; For more than forty years he had been a member of the Presbyterian hurch, (in the min istry of which he leaves a son,) , and in his kit hours experienced the consolations and hopes of a titter and humble faith; ! i 1 EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA.

An intermission of some five or six seconds n sued,; when a ' third shock, much heavier and more prolonged thah the second, succeeded, rais ing the fears of our citizens to a painful degree. The motion was undulating, and from the north east, to southwest, and the solid earth moved as if suddenly . converted into ocean waves.

" Zanzibak, May 9, 1858. " Day before yesterday I heard from Captain Burton and Mr. Spjeki .They had reachea the great African inland lake, and are now occupied in making i explorations and researches on its shores. They are in excellent health and spirits, and contemplate . returning ; to Zanzibar in the month of September. According to the informa tion I have gathered concerning the countries uth of Abyssinia the source of the Soubat is a rge lake lying southward of Abyssinia. In the vicinity of this lake are to be found several -white tribe?, viz. tb Amara, the Conso. the Amarakoke. and the Kendike. The two first named, stand UiKn a level with the Abyssinian in respect to civilization. They, all seem to be remnants of the ancient 'Church in Ethiopia.'

STEWART, THE FIRST; A3IEEI CAN ADMIRAL, j Now that Congress is about to confer the little of " Admiral" upon the veteran Com. Stewart, of tne navy, ine louowmg sketcn of nim will be in teresting: i ; This distinguished officer, ,now turned four score years, wnose claims to well merited distinc tion are now about to receive their due acknow lodgment, resides at White Hill, a suburb of the town of Borden town, N. J. The Commodore purchased his estate there, a large farm, at the same time that Joseph Bonaparte, Count de Sur- villiers, selected that desirable locality for his American residence. -They both acquired about tne sflme amount ot land at dinerent and adioin ing limits of the town, and both contri jted to the immediate growtn and importance of the place. The Count told the Commodore that he had made the best bargain in his farm, but the Commodore replied that he had obtained the best land. Although advanced in years, yet the elements of an excellent constitution are' so kindly combined in the Commodore that he manifests no signs of decay: He is about the medium size, of a florid complexion ana poiioned agreeable manners. Hu conversation isextremely entertatning and instruc tive, and constantly interspersed with anecdotes of our public men and our national butory., He has dined and wined with every President of the Union, from "Washington down to Buchanan, with the exception ot Harrison, whose term was too brief for many public or social events. Commodore btewart has not yet reached that period of life when age bespeaks indulgence. Hav ing command of the navy-yard ' at ; Philadelphia and I5 vine a distance of thirty miles off. his visits there are continued daily, in defiance of all kinds of weather, hot or could, wet or dry. In the cars or in the steamer his active form, healthy looks and cbeertul countenance command daily for him a continual welcome. On a recent visist to Phil adelphia the writer of this sketch saw him without overcost or extra clotbing,braying, on one occasion, afurious rain storm, in tne regular routine of his duties. "A sailor," said that this brave veteran "is born for all weather." . ? : His dweling at White Hili : is nothine more than a fa:mer!s cottage, and his style of livine is simple and plain, and free from all ostentation. da far from being actually on the "retired list" of the nrvy, he is, in reality, the navy itself. It3 history commences with his services, -and is em bellished by his many heroic achievements. In th hue" Faraguary expedition Ommddore Shubrick would have given the command to Com modore Stewart, but t ie latter with manly spirit and pride, replied, that tie could not take com mand from' one who was instrumental in placing him on the- retired list. The commodore has a furlough of absence for so'ne months, to visit a married daughter in England, and a son in Paris, who for some years has had the contract for sup plying the French government with live oak tim ber from the TJni'ed States. .'

At the funeral of a lit tle babe in New Sharon, a few days since, says the Gospel Banner, a circumstance occurred remarka blv cheering and suggestive The little one, all beautifully robed for the grave was laid in itajjoffin on the morning of the burial. The. weeping friends placed in its little hand a small bouquet of flowers, among -which was an unopened rosebud of the Rose of Sharon" The lid was then1 placed upon the coffin, and the fune ral services pertormed. nen alter the l.-.pse of not more than two or three hoars, tho coffin was opened again, and the friends gathered around to look upon it for the last time, that bud had become a full blown rose, while grasped in the 'cold Land of death.

Churches, ; Factories, 4c., through ordinary coal Gas pipes, and fixtures, ire- 'quiring neither hat, meter, or gasonieterj The machine is durable, and requires no more labor, or -8KU1, in ltai iuanagmeni man a common clock. " - y ... '. . 1 The material Used in this machine is Benzole. 'Every' man Way . have his own Gas works, and Gas in his own house. f ; ' . Benzole is obtained from the distillation of coal, tar, t Betuminus coaJLi Its manufacture is bow extensive ly entered upon la Manchester, tilaseow, and other large towns in Great Britain, aad also Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and, at Wflliamsboro', near New York city. It is probable it will become an arti cle of greatimportanee, particularly as alcohol, sther.' and other alcoholic products are so Mostly as they are in Great Britain. But the most important .use prov poed is lor illumination. It has been found that al most any gas, or even atmospheric air, (passed through Bensole takes np a portion of its vapor and acq aires crest illuminating power ; and especially whan intro duced to the current of air diffused through porous dia phrams and in a chamber admitting of the thorough mixture 1 of the air and Ben sole vapor. .,.. Such is the aparatus now manufactured under the Patents held, by' Mr. Jesse -Carpenter. . The price of Benzole is now from $1 td. $1 50 per gallon, but the new works which have undertaken its manufacture, will, no doubt,; cause' its price to be reduced mach be low that prioe. Still, at the higher rates, it is found. according to a report made ia January. 186$, by a committee appointed to examine into the merits of the light at the Utica Mechanic's Fair, that the cost of a light equivalent .to that produced hy a gas-burner, consuming cubic feet per hour, is but 14 cents per hour, while that of a ooal gas light, at the rate of $ 60 per 1,000 cubic feet, Vis 21 cents per boor; thereby. making one gallon of Benzole: equivalent to a 1,000 feet of gas. The English authorities, in 1850, estima ted that a gallon of Benzole possesies'an-.iUuxainating power equal to 1,000 oubio feet of gasv A lull a-count 01 its properties and its adaptability to the purposes of illumination,' will be found in the New American Cyclopaedia, which may be found at Pomeroy's Bik-Store. The difficulties heretofore istinK in relation-to the effect of temperature on the gas, is now oyeroome by recent improvements by Jeise Carpenter. i( f -..."
