Society has experienced an irretrievable loss, within these few days, in the termination of the life and labours of Thomas Lord Erskine, after a few days' illness, at his late brother's seat, near Edinburgh, in the 76th year of his age. During the last forty-four years his talents and patriotism have absorbed so much public attention, as to identify his name and actions with the times; and we forbear to attempt any sketch of his glorious career till our next Number. It is sufficient to observe, that, although a lawyer, his life was devoted to philanthropy; that, although he had received favours from the court, they did not abstract him from the service of the people; and that, although his professional duties obliged him to be a man of business, yet he always cultivated elegant literature, and exerted his pen on many suitable occasions in the cause of truth. His forensic eloquence obtained him the name of the British Cicero; and for thirty years he was retained in every suit, enjoying a degree of unexampled popularity. "Take him all in all, we shall never look upon his like again."

Among other public losses from death, we have to record that of a man who was singularly gifted in the various branches of literature and science, the Rev. Edmund Cartwright, D.D. F.R.S. F.R.L.s. who died at Hastings, in the eighty-first year of his age. (Further particulars of this gentleman will be given in our next.)

On the 20th of September, the town of Abergavenny was for the first time lighted with Gas, upon a new and improved method, recently discovered by the engineer, Mr. Simeon Broadmeadow. This discovery promises considerable advantage to gas establishments, by superseding the use of the retort and purifier, as the common coke or coal-tar oven answers the purpose of the retort, and the purifier is rendered altogether useless. By the method adopted by Mr. Broadmeadow, the quantity of imflammable gas is increased full one third, and, by the action of atmospheric air, rendered perfectly pure and free from salphur.
