These considerations incline us to think that there is • reasona ble ground for expecting that in No ex ?Hanel a manufacture, yet one of so universal need, the Corporation will be more efficient and econ omical than any company established for profit to the shareholder'. Nor need we be at all influenced in this preference by the circumstance that the projected Consumers' Company is to supply its own shareholders. We have already an example of a Consumers' Company, whose gas is as bad and dear sa any of the rest, and which speedily joined, as every such association must, the phalanx of the monopolists. No doubt the shareholders in it would do well, for they would get back in dividend what they paid in gas rates. But those who are not shareholders would pay the high rate and not be recouped by dividend. The advantage of the Corporation scheme is, that it makes every user of gas a shareholder. only it ex poem him to no rink, and gives him his profit only in the form of a reduction of one-third in his out lay for gas. We hope the scheme will have • fair trial, for if it succeeds, the example will be useful outside the precincts of the City. HIGH WAXU AT LONDON -BRIDE. TO DAT 111.oralm oL Os.....AfternooL OL 70.

The Cor poration has resolved to undertake the manage ment for itself, but it has met with a rivel in a projected Consumers' Company. The case of both rests, to a certain extent, on the same data. Lon don gas is admittedly the worst and the dearest in the kingdom. What the metropolis pays 41. 6d. for, other towns, more remote from the coalfields, are able to obtain, of better quality, at 2s. 9d. Nor is there any prospect of bringing down the price to any such point by the operation of ordinary causes. The whole of London is parcelled out, under Acts of Parliament, into the separate domains of the seve ral existing companies, so that competition is wholly excluded, unless a fresh appeal to Parlia ment is made. By the same authority the com panies are entitled to maintain the existing rates until they have not only paid 10 per cent. dividend on the current year, but have made up put divi dends to that amount for six years back.

What, however, the public are most interested in is the explicit statement made by the Foreign Secretary of the peaky whieb our government intend to pursue with respect to Abyssinia. 101112 0 311 TOPICS. The tom and substance of the utterances ascribed to the Pope by M. lkiggio [given in the Mrpress of Monday last] agree, the Daily News says, with the best authenti cated reports of the feeling of the entourage of the Holy Father. The Daily News suggests to his Holiness, however, that if called on to choose he would do well to take his stand rather upon his virtues than upon his political influence in France, great as that undoubtedly is. In them lies his native strength, and they will mail him when mundane rapport fails. His supposed power to control the policy of France is the dream of a priest, and such as • priest could dream nowhere but at Rome. The Daily News reminds us that it is wetly this month twenty years ago that, in Boston, the most miligntmed city in the American union. William Lloyd Garriseri, the abolitionist, was dragged through the streets with a halter round his neck, while the tar kettle was being heated and the beg of feathers was being fetched. These things should be remembered sow when public speakers in Ame rica are foolishly lamenting over the present time as " the darkest hour "in the natiosal life. Pro-elavery men and parties is America transmit their griefs to Europe, and are sympathised with by the secession champions here ; sod the timid and disappointed friends of the megrims emu where cannot compose their troubled spirits while **many dangers and difficulties remain ; but to minds of large capacity, minds rendered impartial by distance, or hopeful by philosophy, the existiog state of things in America ap pears as promising as it is rational to expect. To dupes 'jousts minds it appears most probable that the President is doing as well as he knows how, amidst perplexities as great and various av any ruler had to deal with ; that he is trying to follow in the path of his magnanimous and mer ciful predmessor ; and that the sum of his immediate policy and his daily efforts is—to deliver over to emigres' the great decisions which do mot rest with him in the beet coo dition for a settlement. The Post rejoices is the peaceful tendency which the Emperor Napoleon's present policy, as shown by the pro- posed reduction of the warlike expenditure in 1867 by some 15,000,000 fr. seams to indicate. The French home budget. also promise considereble economy. The Telegraph referring to the news of soother Arab revolt,gives the following as the" whole philoeophy" of Alge rian insurrections. It is the policy—the enforced policy, perhaps—of the French in Algeria, to maintain the Arab chief' la the full enjoyment of their feudal privileges.

Dished the pleasure and comfort of the royal party. Throughout the whole Has of route the greatest enthu siasm was manifested, and their royal highnesses were ►. . . continually bowing their acknowledgments of the hearty plaudite which they received. The royal carriage was pre-' ceded by a body of mounted police. lt contained the Prints and Praxes; of Wales and the Earl and Countess of Derby. Lieutenant-General Sir John Jones, K.C.8., woompsand the royal carriage on horseback, in full uniform. The sword carriage oontained Lord Stanley, and in title and the re mainiag carriages were the distinguished gown of Lord Derby and the Earl of Sefton. The procession left Keowaley at 11 o'clock, eallitig at Croxtoth-park for Loed Sefton's party, and proosiding through West Derby village, and arriving in Liverpool at 12. By half-past 12 the carriages reached Castloalreet, where an immense cow:rouse of people had assembled. The greetings here were prolonged sad most enthusiastic, the ladies joining and giving a welcome to the Princess, which was most gracefully acknowledged. The route to the land ing stage was down Wateratreet, which was festooned from end to end with flags suspended from the merchants' and shopmeo's offices, which are here the principal buildings- Shortly before 1 o'clock the royal visitors reached the stage, where they were received by the mayor. On the stage and the surrounding quays and walls (which wore alive with people) the enthusiasm was even greater, if pos sible, than is she atreele. As the Prince and Princes, with their party, embarked on board the Woodside, M'lver's Artillery corps presented arms, while the band played " God bless the Prince of Wales." The royal standard was then hoisted onboard the Woodside. and she preowned in • northerly direetioa along the lino of docks, headed by the tender of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Hoard, the Alert, and followed (immediately astern) by the Canard tender Srtellite, and on the quarters by the smart and beautiful boats of the Massy River Steambeat Company, the Sprite and Sylph, on board which wen the members of the Town Connell and other public bodies. A perfect fleet of miscellaneous ferry bode, all reeling with passengers, followed at • little distance. The Wood side is Geo of the fine edema steamers which have lately come into such deserved popularity for river traffic. She was built by Masers. Laird, and lent for the occasion by the Birkenhead Commissioners, who were represented on board by Mr. H. K. Asphalt, Mr. Hrnd, and other gentlemen. The cabins were carpeted, and an exquisite bouquet placed in the private saloon. A portion of the upper deck was also carpeted and furnished with cushioned chairs. Here the royal party stayed during the whole of the trip on the river, though the weather at times was bitterly cold, and the brilliant sunshine was temporarily obscured by a smart shower of tale, which drove a portion of the company below. The passage up the river was neces sarily slow in consequence of the crowds of steamers, which, in spite of the police regulations, encroached on all sides upon the royal steamer, to the imminent danger of collision. On passing the north feet a salute was fired, and the Wood side turned her bead to the Cheshire side of the river, and proceeded southward, • short pause being made opposite the Woodside larding stags in order to afford the crowds there assembled a view of the Prince and Princess. The ship-building yard of Messrs. Laird and Co. next attracted attention, and the Prince and Lord Derby catered into an animated conversation with Mr. John Laird, M.P., who, with his family, was on board. On passing her Majesty's ship Doaegal the yards were manned, and the band of the Marines struck up various 'lathed airs, The Cunard steamer Persia, decorated from stem to stern wah busting, and carrying the Danish standard at the foremast, was next passed, but no vessel seemed to interest them more than the school frigate Cloonny, the I yards of which were manned by about 200 youths, whojere I sow studying navigatien on board, for the purpose of obtain fug appoiatmeeta as officers in the mercantile navy. The I reformatory ships Akre,: and Clarence, and the training I ship Indefatigable came in for their share of attention. 'The crowds upon the quays and stages remained until the I return of the steamers, and, on the disembarkation, the cheering was renewed, and continued until the party had entered the Tows-hall, when they were entertained to lutetium by the mayor in the large ball-room, which was beautifully arranged and decorated for the seesaw. After looking on 'Change from • balcony, the royal party next visited the Free Public Library and St. George's Hall. At the latter Mr. Best played a brief selection of music. This portion of the day's proceedings was not finished in time for a detailed report. The Prince and Princess appeared in the best health and spirits.

On the 20th ult. the friends end neighbours of Mr. Secretary Seward at Auburn availed them selves of the opportunity which his temporary presence at home afforded them, and paid him a visit to congratulate him upon his escape from as susination, to renew their expressions of friend ship and sympathy, and to listen to whatever he might choose to say in reference to the present aspect of political affairs. The New York Times of the 21st, received this morning, contains a verbatim report of the speech which was delivered by Mr. Seward on the occasion. Mr. Seward, after referring to the sympathy which had been shown to him during the anxious period of the war, alluded to the loss of Mr. Lin coln, and to the eminent qualifications of his suc cessor, of whom he spoke of in the highest terms. The plan of restoration which was being carried out was the only one that could possibly be adopted. Mr. Seward then spoke in laudatory terms of the members of the administration ; and proceeded as follows : These are they who were or are the eanaellore and neer of the President of the United States during the eventful period through which we have passed. That they have always agreed from the first Is deciding the mo mentous questions with which they were seined is not asserted. A Cabinet which should agree at ones on every such question would :be no better or safer than one counsellor. Our republicea mem, and the poli tical system of every free country, requires, if not a "multitude of counsellors," at last an agepertion and diverseness of crimellors. But this I do maintain and confidently proclaim, that every im portant decision of the adminietraiess has been wise. I maintain with equal firmness, and declare with still greater pleasure, the °prima that no council of govern ment ever existed la • revohdionery period in any nation which was either more harmonious or more loyal to each other, to their chief, and to their country. (Applause.) Had this council bees at any time lea harmonious or hiss loyal, I should then have feared the downfall of the republic' Happily I need not enter the field to reign honours to our military and naval chiefs. Their sehievements, while they have excited the admiration and won the Affectionate gratitude of ell our countrymen, have already become a grand theme of univocal history. I omit to speak of foreign satires and of the proceedings of the government in regard to them for two among ; first. because the discussion of such questions is for a season near sarily mediated without immediate publicity ; the other is • moon I need not assign. Nevertheless, I may my in general tear this—We have claims upon foreign nations for injuries to the United States and her citizens, and other nations have presented claims against this government for alleged all:wise to them or their subjects. Although these claims are chiefly of a personal end pecuniary mares yet the dietaries of them involves principles celestial to the ladependenee of States and harmony among the nations. I believe that the President will conduct this part of our affairs in such • manner as to yield and recover indemnitir, justly due, without any compromise of the national dignity and honour. With whatever jealousy we may adhere to our inherited principle of avoiding entangling alliances with foreign nations, the United 'Bette must continue to exereies,l as always before one civil war they did exercise, • just and beneficent inflames in the internatioesl sander of foreign states, peek-early three which are near to us is this continent, and which are especially endeared to r by their adoption of republican institutions. (Applause.) That jest infiuenoe'of ours was impeired, as ought to have been apprehended by the American people, when they fell into the distractions of civil war. With the return of peace, it is coming back to ea again in greater strength than ever. lam sore that this important in. terest has not been lost sight of by the P resident of the United States for • single moment, and I expect that we shell see republican institutions, wherever they have been heretofore established throughout the Ame' Tian continent, speedily vindicated, renewed, end reinvi gorated. (Applause.) When I shall see this progress snocessfally worked out on the American continent, I shall then look for the signs of its saccadel working throughout the other continents. (Applrre.) It is thus that I think the administration of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson may be roomed as an epoch at which humanity will resume with new spirit and courage the career which, however slow, is nevertheless constantly directed toward the destruction of every form of human slavery, and the political equality of all men. (Enthusiastic and prolonged applause.) And now, my dear friends and neighbours, after this pleasant interview, we pert once more—you to continue, I hope with unabated success and plenum, your accustomed domestic and axial pursuits ; I to return to the capital, there to watch and wait and work on a little longer. But we shell meet again. We came together today to celebrate the end of civil war. We will come together again under next October's sun, to rejoice in the restoration of peace, harmony, and union throughout the lend. Until that time I refrain from what would be • pleasant tank—the forecasting of the material r ogress of the country, the normal increase of population by birth and immigration, and its diff asks over the now obliterated hue of Meson and Dixon, to the Gulf of Mexico, and over and setae the Rocky Mountains along the border of Mexico to the Pacific Omen. I now my only this—Go or, fellow citizens, Increase and multiply ea you have heretofore done. Extend channels of sternal commerce as the development. of aericultural, foreign end national resources requires. Improve your harbours, consolidate the Union now while you can, without unconstitutionally centralising the government, and henceforth you will enjoy, as a tribute of respect and =names, that security at home and that consideration abroad which the maritime powers of the world have of late, when their candour wee specially needed, rely reloctiatly and partially conceded. (Applause.) May our Heavenly Father bleu you and your families and friends, sad have you all in His hely keeping nail the reifies mouths shall bring around that happy sleeting in 1866: and so, for the present, farewell. (Load applause.) FRANCE AND MEXICO. The Indipendence Beige Rays that the cabinet of the Tuileries, while making reserves as to the right , of a state to go to the assistance of its allies, has replied to the American government that it has taken into serious consideration the objections made by Mr. Seward on the subject of the pro longed occupation of Mexico by the French troops, and especially against sending out fresh reinforce ments. " The evacuation of Mexico may therefore be looked upon as a thing decided on in principle. Little matters it whether the resolution of the French government has been determined by the observa tions of the cabinet of Washington or by private considerations. What authorises the belief that the execution of the measure decided on will be soon commenced is that Marshal Bazaine, who was about to let a residence he possesses in Paris, has c ountermanded his order. From that fact it would `seem that the General-in-Chief of the French army in Mexico appears to expect to return to Pa ris I shortly. In addition to the considerable savings which the evacuation of Mexico will procure to the , French Treasury, a further reduction of twelve • millions in the War Budget is announced."
