" Your committee consider that the main cause of the failure of legislation, which has thus taken place in the present year, has been the absence of any bills authorising.thef4Atablishment of an inde pendent supply of gas in the hands of the local authorities. They recommend that unless teams satisfactory for the consumer can be arranged with the companies, the Board of Trade should abstain from the introduction of any other measure like the Metropolis Gas Bill, 1867. Unless the companies are prepared during the recess to consent to . such an arrangement, your committee think that every facility should be afforded to the local authorities of the metropolis in the session of 1868 for the in roduction of an independent supply."

INDIA. The Madras Atholleant says that the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company have resumed operations in Kurnool. From the Bellary district, where considerable distress" prevailed, the official repohs were favourable ; and on the recommenda tion of the collector the famine works had been dis continued. Cultivation had recommenced with the south-west monsoon, the ploughing of some of the lands having occurred even in anticipation of that event. Prices were falling, and had reached the .. _ Level of prosperous years ; the only exception was rice. ,‘ The new rice of the late (Vysack) crop (adds the Madras Athenoeum) had not, however, yet come into the market. The consumption of this grain is limited to the higher classes, who can afford to consume it, or who, as in the case of the native army, have special compensation given during its dearness. The bulk of the population consume cholum and raggy, which were selling at 16 and 18 measures respectively per rupee. The cultivation had exceeded that of the year 1865-66 up to April last by acres 6,662. A manifest improvement is also reported from the Ganjain district. On Lord Napier's visit there in June, 1866, he proposed the opening of the Chilka lake, both as a present means of iclief to the distressed, as well as of completing a work of great public utility projected many years ago by Sir Arthur Cotton. The heavy rains pre vented the commencement of the excavations until February last, the collection of materials having been rapidly carried on in the meantime. In March 4,000 coolies were daily employed on the works, and they were pushed on with the utmost vigour, 6,000 coolies having afterwards been engaged. Notwithstanding the very difficult nature of the excavation, mostly through water, and the preva lence of heavy storms of wind and rain throughout the working season, the project laid out with great exactness has been completed, and the canal is now open for general traffic on ordinary tides, Mr. Car michael, the collector, having opened it in person on the Ist inst. Boats being in readiness at Ganjam for the occasion, about 9 o'c lock a.m., Mr. Car michael arrived in company with the engineer and other gentlemen, and proceeded in boats through the canal to Bimper, ten miles from Ganjam, where a small bank remained separating the water of the Roosookoolen from the lake. After Mr. Carmichael arrived this bank was cleared' away as if by magic, and the waters of the Roosookoolen were connected with the Chilka lake. The canal being thus formally opened, th e boats passed on through the lake to Ramba, a further distance of four miles, where they arrived by 12 o'clock, three hours only being occupied in making the journey. The canal was in many places spanned by triumphal arches, and flags and banners floated proudly over the embankments, while continual cheers gre ds 0. the arrival of the boats, there being thousan spectators along the whole line of the canal. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout." The Ceionibo Observer, of July 16, prey: boisterous weather which has lately saYs Tile"drria'et.

Vie quote the following from the Military Sanitary Reports on Ceylon, published during IS64:—' Galle is considered in the " Almtract of Reports" to be the healthiest of all tropical stations. Paragraph 193 states : " If the station were improved and proper barracks provided the question of the sanitary state of the troops in Ceylon might be settled in the most satisfactory way, by removing the headquarters and all the troops not required for detachment duty to Galle." Dr. Dane differed somewhat from this opinion in favour of Kandy, but this does not alter the position that hitherto Galle has been pre-emi nently healthy as regards troops.'" CHINA AND JAPAN. On the 15th of June, the new dock at Aberdeen (on the southern side of the Island of Hong Kong), belonging to the Hong Kong, Canton, and Whampoa Dock Company, was opened in the presence of the Governor and a large party of invited guests. 12 dock is over 400 feet long, 90 feet broad, and 21i deep. It has been c ut out of the solid granite of which the island is fo rmed, and is a very magnifi , cent work. It is lined with hewn granite, and pre sents a very imposing appearance. The Overland China Mail looks upon the opening of this dock as an event of considerable importance. It says : The Hope Dock is undoubtedly the finest dock in the East, and whatever credit is due to the company and to all concerned with the origina tion and construction of such a masterpiece of marine architecture is freely accorded to the pro moters of the scheme so successfully inaugurated on Saturday last. To convey a better idea of the advantages consequent upon the completion such au undertaking, w e may give some of the dimensions and peculiar features of the new dock. It is 410 feet in length over all, and 385 feet on the blocks ; it has a breadth from coping stone to,coping stone of 100 feet, and 50 feet at the bottom ; its width at the entrance is 81 feet; and its depth of water is 24 feet 6 inches at spring, and 22 feet at neap tides. It will, thus be seen that it will be able to take in the largest merchant vessel or mail steamer which enters Hong Kong harbour, even at low water. The dock is, of course, constructed with the intention of accommodating either the ironclad Warrior or black Prince (for draught of water), or for the Pacific Mail Company's steamer the Great Re public (for breadth of beam) ; and we understand that there is only one of the new ironclads—viz., the Aginourt, which draws some 2G feet—which is too large to enter the Hope Dock without being lightened previous to doing so. Under these cir cumstances it would not be surprising if her Majesty's huge ironclads be sent out to the China station, for the existence of this magnificent dock now opened in Aberdeen . Bay, Hong Kong, removes what would otherwise be an insuperable objection to their presence-- namely, the impossi bility of dock repair in the event of accident. Some political differences have arisen between the Daimios and the new Shogoon, with respect to the opening of Osaka, one of the new ports. Thirteen clipper ships left Foochow for London, with tea, on various dates between May 31 and June 18. The Taewan, which sailed from Foochow on the 20th June, got ashore on the North Bank, in the river Alin, and is reported by Lloyd's agents as a total wreck. She had 789,5001bz. of tea on board. The second crop of silk is reported at Canton to be coming in very slowly from the country ; holders in the interior are holding for very full prices. Rates in a few settlements are nominally higher all round. The silk market at Shanghai was opened early in the month ; the chief purchases are said to have been made by young and inexperienced houses, the other firms having abstained from entering the market. The tea season has commenced at prices fully equal to those of last year. Export from Foochow alone about 14,000,0001b5. Sir Rutherford Alcock is visiting the ports in succession, to judge for himself by observation and in communication with the merchants on the spot, what had been the working of the treaty of Tien tsin, and wherein it was imperfect or defective, or might with advantage be modified. He was last at Swatow. Strong representations have been made to Sir R. Alcock by residents at the Yangtze ports in favour of inland navigation by small steamers. The Minister's reply was undecided, but somewhat favourable. The United States ships Hartford and Wyoming visited the scene of the wreck of the Rover, south coast of Formosa. A landing was resisted by the natives, by whose fire Lieut.-Commander Mac kenzie was killed. Some concerted action between the foreign powers is necessary for the protection of commerce. The Chinese authority there is purely mythical, and the Government will not interfere unless backed by foreign aid. L Several lights are to be erected forthwith at the mouth of the Yongtze. THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES VICTORIA. The Melbourne Argus declares that experience 01 the new tariff has not made the traders of Mel bourne more enamoured of it than they were at the beginning. " Both imports and exports," it says " have been affected ; we have sent away more gold w ith o ut receiving a corresponding, increase of goods ; our intercolonial trade has been seriousto ly injured, because buyers have been driven aw a y other and cheaper ports; the merchants and traders of the city barely maintain their ground ; no new manufactories or means of employment for labour have been developed under the protectionist policy of the present Government ; the b.ectetesrofel the as drawing upon past savings ; the prices lowest e are - labour are in many cases only mainta ined by a rti kinds of labour are falling, w hile thos e of skilled streets of willing, to work, Wandering ficial means ; and there are aboutniorepetrhseons idle, yet 'a a very different - i Mel b ourne than was ever the The Age write s, case before." howeve r, strain.

As more sible that both positions can be correct, it is impossible w e shall endeavour to ascertain the truthy, an thos d pelaceiu i t plainly before our readers, especiall Europe and in the neighbouring colonies. ~ Strange to say, the partial dulness which exists is the result of great prosperity. The import trade is dull, because home production is abundant. There are fewer ships in Ilobson's Bay, because our wants do not require to be supplied from beyond seas. Last year the import grain trade alone gave em ployment to 150,000 tons of shipping. In the pre sent year there is no such trade in existence. The change is a highly beneficial one, but as changes of every character operate unequally, it has not been unattended with inconvenience. Through out the length and breadth of the land there is more contentment, arising from the abundance of the necessaries of life and steadiness of the demand for labour, than at any time during the last seven or eight years. The change that is now going on is exactly that which was aimed at by the political party now in office. The temporary depression in commercial circles is a proof that the policy has been a success.

The Metropolis Gas Question. The Select Committee of the House of Commons on the Metropolis Gas Bill has presented its report to Parliament. We have already stated the points of difference between the committee and the gas companies, which rendered nugatory the attempt at legislation on the subject this session. After de tailing the proceedings before the committee, the report proceeds as follows : " Your committee do not recognise as just the construction which the companies appear to place upon the combined operation of the two acts of 1847 and 1860. When the act of 1847 was passed, it was intended for the regulation, not of thirteen companies in London acting upon an exclusive system, but for the regulation of all the companies which might be established throughout the country, and which in general would be subject not only to the limit of the act in respect of dividend, but also to the com petition of other companies in the same districts. When the Act of 1860 was passed, the metropolitan companies had not generally attained the limit of 10 per cent. ; and the possibility of that limitation being interpreted to convey a right to a ' statutory' divi dend of 10 per cent., may not have been as clearly understood as from recent experience and discussion is now the case. This view has, however, been very distinctly presented to your committee in the course of the present inquiry, and while they do not feel themselves at liberty to interfere with the enactment' of 1860 in that respect without consent of the com panies, they do feel bound to be careful that they do not strengthen by any proceeding of their own what they consider to be a departure from the intention with which the limit of 10 percent. was originally prescribed by Parliament. Substituting, in the case of the metropolis, effective regulation for that competition which they believe was contem- I plated by Parliament when the Act of 1847 was passed, they think that justice will be done between the consumer on the one side and those who have invested their capital on the faith of the legislation of 1860 on the other, if in any future arrangement a p r ice be fixed, which will afford to the companies a reasonable prospect of attaining, from time to time, with due care and management, the maximum dividend of the act upon the share capital which has been already expended under the authority of Parlia ment ; but that the stimulus to due care and man agement will be unduly weakened, if they are enabled to make good the deficiency of one year's dividend by the surplus of another. " The reduction of price, under the bill, as it would have stood if the companies had accepted the decision of the committee, would have been, as com pared with the prices of the Act of 1860, from 45. 6d. for twelve cand les, or 41d. p er candle, to 3s. 9d. for 10 candles, about 21d. p er candle ; if compared with the actual prices now charged by the companies (except the South Metropolitan and Independent), viz., 4s. for 14 candles, a reduction from 3id. to 24d. nearly. The 3s. 9d, for 16 candles proposed by the Board of Trade may be considered as nearly equivalent to the 3s. 4d. charged by the last-men tioned companies for 14 candles. Besides this re duction, provision would have been made for im proved administration and reduced expenditure by the amalgamation of the companies, for an efficient audit of the accounts, for an effective supervision of the working and expenditure, for the abolition of the system of back dividends, and for the payment of penalties out of the sum divisible among the share holders. The advantages to result from these vari ous amendments of the Act of 1860 would have been secured to the consumer by a periodical revision of price, through the agency of arbitrators appointed by the Board of Trade ; and the purity of the gas would have been insured by a system of administra tions under the superintendence of the same board. To these advantages your committee consider that the consumer is entitled ; and they recommended that nothing less should be required as the c( tions of any settlement which may leave in the hands of the companies exclusively the future supply of the metropolis. "In conclusion, your committee have now to repeat the expression of their decided opinion, that either by the way of regulation, or by the way of an independent supply, the consumer is entitled to a far more efficient control than he at present enjoys with respect to the supply of gas to the metropolis.

But our e xport grain trade must have time to grow. Great things cannot be expected from it in its first year. Before long we may reasonably anticipate that by its in crease prosperity of a permanent kind will be re stored to the shipping interest. Heretofore trade has been one-sided. Except in the wool season, ships had to go away empty. The freight age bore a small proportion to the tonnage. It is not so in the present year. Our imports have decreased very much, but our exports arc much larger, both in value and bulk. Ships are not so numerous, but they arc better filled both in coining and going. Shortsighted people, who neither look backward nor forward, can not see the signs of the times, and suffer, not from inevitable dulness of trade, but from their own incapacity to adapt themselves to altering cir cumstances. From all parts of the interior the most gratifying accounts of unwonted activity reach us, and although one of the results is a temporary lull in the trade of the metropolis, the setting-in of a favourable reaction is a certain as the flow of the tide after it has reached its lowest ebb. So much for the so-called dulness of trade." We read in the Argus, of Thursday, June 27 : " We intimated in our last summary for Europe that the Tariff Bill had been read a third time and passed in the Legislative Council, but that amend ments had been introduced which the council ad mitted were beyond its legal power to make. The whole matter in dispute as to the respective powers of the two houses as regards bills of supply had been previously debated in a joint committee of the two houses, and the practical result was anadmissiou on both sides that the written constitution did not fully carry out the idea which originally presented itself to the authors of the bill. It was intended by them, and by the country, that the two houses should have respectively the powers of the House of Commons awl the House of Lords ; hut as these are not defined, it is not matter of surprise that the framers of the constitution act should not haveich been a ble to set out in precise terms that wh in itself undetermined and indefinite. The com mittee came to the conclusion that the original un derstanding should be reverted to ; that the practice of the English Parliament should be strictly followed have in future, so that the local Legislature should English precede nts to g uide it ; and that the stand ing orders of the two houses should be altered to facilitate that end. Steps have been taken for the latter purpose, and in accordance with the under standing in joint committee the Tariff Bill, on its return to the Assembly amended by the council, was laid aside. The original resolution, authorising the imposition of new duties, was again read, and a bill giving effect to the amendments made in both houses was introduced by Air. \radon, and passed through all its stages in one evening. The new bill was sent up to the council on Tuesday, where it was also passed through all the proper forms ; and the act embracing the new tariff only now awaits the sig nature of his Excellency t o become law."

Any attempt to obtain an advance has a tendency at once to check business most decidedly. There has been a good general demand for these yarn s for all mar kets. In cop yarns for the home tra d e there has also been a general inquiry at ex treme prices, and for yarns made entirely from American cotton an advance on last week of fully id, per lb. is demanded. In cloth a good business for the h a s been done s ince last Tuesday East, but we have little improvement in price as compared with last week or the week before last, except, per haps, in the well-known makes of China shirungs© Manufacturers are obliged, in consequence of the firmness of cotton and yarns, to advance their quo tations for most kinds of cloth, but in many descrip tions it is only nominally, since buyers show very little disposition to concede these advances. For the g a nd any attemp t to advance eneral run of Ind ia cloths we find business re- str i c t e d at former limits, upon them checks operations. Th e fine weather has imparted a m ore cheerful feeling, but we clos e -day to w ith a small business and without establish ing any quota ble advantage er last Tuesday's r ates.

Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth market :—" Since last Tuesday buyers have operated pretty freely, at the rates current during the previous week.
