First Shipment of gas to London.
--We saw yesterday at the passenger station of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at Eleventh and Market, a number of wrought iron cylindrical vessels, which we were informed contained compressed gas. Upon further inquiry we learned that the contractor, who had fitted up the cars on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad for burning gas, had also taken a contract for fitting out a number of cars to be used on the street railways in London. These had been sent to the railroad work-shops in Altoona, to be filled with gas by means of the company's apparatus there; so that before long we may expect to hear of American street railway-ears in London lighted with gas made at the foot of the Alleghany mountains.--Phila, Gazette, Feb. 5.
