But it will always be in the power of Parliament to prescribe terms of regula tion as each company, comes before it to apply for new powers, and the necessity for new powers has usually brought the companies to Parliament at uo long intervals of time. Your committee, however, do not think it would be just to the consumer to leave him to the casualties of this mode of remedy, and recommend that, if the companies decline to tubmit to general regulations, such as Parliament Imay consider reasonable, measures should be taken for the introduction of.a new supply in independent hands. - . " It seems to your committee that the consumer cannot rely upon the probable introduction of new companies in competition with the powerful organisa tion whose existence has been confirmed by the Act of 1860 ; and that if the consent of the companies to a proper amendment of that act cannot be ob tained, the proper remedy will be for Parliament to concede to the city of London, the Metropolitan Board of Works, or other local authorities of the respective districts, the power of supplying' those districts in the manner in which the Corporation of Manchester supplies that city and the surrounding neighbourhood. " 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 autborising,.,tho establiehment of an•inde— pendent supply of gas in the hands of the local authorities. They recommend that unless terms satisfactory for tho 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 troduction of an independent supply."

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 1817 and 1860. When the act of 1817 was passed, it was intended for the regulation, not of thirteen companies in London acting upon an exclusive system, but for he regulation of all the companies which might be established throughout the country, and which ii 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 thvnactment of 1860 in that respect without consent of the cora- pauies, 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 per cent. was originally prescribed by Parliament. Substituting, in the case of the metropolis, effective regulation for that competition which they believe was contem- 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 price 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. ct The reduction of price, under the bill, as 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 4s. 6d. for twelve candles, or 41d. per candle, to 3s. 9d. for 10 candles, about 21d. per 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 aid. to 21d. 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 acid 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 hoard. To these advantages your committee consider that the consumer is entitled ; and they recommended that nothing less should be required as the condi 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 be at present enjoys with respect to the supply of gas to the metropolis.

From the Bellary district, where considerable distressl prevailed, the official reports 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. I , The new rice of the late (Vysack) crop (adds the Madras Athenceam) 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 Ganjam district. On Lord Napier's visit there in June, 1866, he proposed the ' opening of the Chilka lake, both as a present means of relief to the distressed, as well as of completing l 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, 1 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 G Ca m for the oceasion, abou t 9 o'clock a.m., Mr. and ar michael arrived in comp an y with the engineer h o ther gentlemen, and proce eded in boats throug 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 wag cleared away as if by magic; and thew aters of the Roosookoolen were connected with the Chilka lake. The canal being thus formally opened, the boats passed on through the lake to Rawl" a farther distance of four miles, where they arrived by 12 o'clock, three hours only being occ u p ied in making ourney. the j triumphal The canal was in ma n y places spa nned by arches, and flags and banners floated proudly over hee r the embankments , while continual cheers greeted the arrival of the boats, there being thousands of g the who l e line of t he canal. The spec t a t or s along greates t enthusiasm preva i le d throughout." July says :—" The Colombo Observer, of l6, The boisterous weather which has lately prevailed at Colombo has greatly interfered with curing and shipping operations, and the export of our staple to the 12th inst. shows a comparative decrease of 15,000 cwts. o n last year's retu rn. Our e stimate, however, of a total shipment for this ea of 810,000 cwts. will be very near the mark sea son r as we can judge of the quantity still to go forward." We read in the same paper :—" Mr. Oliphant, M.P., well known to Ceylon, has been making capital in the House of Commons lately out of a subject on which the ignorance of his fellow-mem btas secured to him the position of speaking ex cathedra. His opinion s res p ecting Galle-1 a place utterly useless in a strategetical point of view ; and in capable of defence ; exceedingly unhealthy, tNltegether mot undeaimble—coutrast curiously l i with those of our .best military authorities, who consider Gale a most important position, WO mili tary and naval, almost capable of being made iD second Gibraltar ;' while the medical returns show less mortality amongst troops stationed there than at any other point occupied by them in Ceylon. Ilre quote the following from the Military Sanitary Reports on Ceylon, published during 1861: is considered in the " Abstract 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 Gallo.'' Dr. Dane differed somewhat from this opinion in favour of Kandy, but this does not alter the position that hitherto Gallo has been pre-emi nently healthy as regards troops." 01 f I s June, d,te of hh Dee Islandnnew w JAPAN. doo efk Hongt (0 nOnthe the so southern itiGhe AberdeenKo, 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. This dock is over 400 feet long, 90 feet broad, and 24i deep. It has been cut out of the solid granite of which the island is formed, 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 mas`terpicce of marine architecture is freely accorded:to the pro moters of the scheme so successfully intiugurated on Saturday last. To convey a better idea of the advantages consequent upon the completion of such an undertaking, we 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 84 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 bread th of beam) ; and we understand that there is only one of the new ironclads—viz., the Agineourt, which draws some 26 feet—which is too largo 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 existeAberdeennce of thißay, s mag Hong Kong, nificent dock no w opened in 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.

" Both imports and exports," it says "have been a ffected ; we have sent away more gold withou t receiving a corresponding i ncreas e of goods ; our intercolonial trade has been seriously' injured, because buyers have been driven away to 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 better classes are s ; the prices of the lowest drawing upon p ast saving kinds of labour are falling, while those of skilled labour are in many cases only maintained by arti ficial means ; and there are nsore persons idle, yet f willing to work, wandering about the streets o elbourne th a n was ever the case before." different M The Age writes, however , iu a very strain.

As it is impassible that both positions can be correct we shall endeavour to ascertain the truth, and plac, it plainly before our readers, especially those iu Europe and in the neighbouring colonies. " Strange to say, the partial dulness which ex, is the resul.t of great prosperity. The import trade is dull, because home production is abundant. 'I I._ are fewer ships in Hobson'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 lane 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 tliAt the policy has been a §uccess.

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 as 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 an admission 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 and the House of Lords ; but as these aro not defined, it is not matter of surprise that the framers of the constitution act should not have been able to set out in precise terms that which was in itself undetermined and indefinite. The com mittee came to the conclusion that the original un derstanding should be re verted to ; that the practice of the English Parliament should be strictly followed in future, so that the local Legislature should have aide it ; and that the stand- English precedents to g 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, ands bill giving effect to the amendments made in both houses was introduced by Mr. Verdon, and passed through all its stages in one evening. The new bill was sent up to the council on Tuesday, where it was also passe d through all the proper forms ; and the act embracing the new tariff only now awaits the sig nature of his Excellency to become law." Melbourne papers of June 27 state that the Edu cation Bill, introduced by the Attorney-General, was has b ee n withdrawn. T he opposition it met with too strong. The Boman catholic body were alto gether against it; the Church of England were not in its favour; and there was no gret enthusiasm about it on the part of any other of the religious bodies. STAUB OF T RADE. MANC RESTER, 13th.—We have had a very strong and active market to-day in shipping yarns, and a good businesi has been done at the prices of last week. Any attempt to obtain an advance has a tendency at once to check business most decidedly. There has been a good g eneral demand for these yarns for all markets. In cop yarns for the home trade 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 c l o th a good business has been done since last Tuesday for the East, but we have little improvement in price as compared w ith last week or the we ek before last, except, per haps, in the well-known makes of China shirtings. 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 general run of India. cloths we find business re stricted at former limits, and any attempt to advance upon them checks operations. The fine we close weather has imparted a m ore cheerful feeling, but to-day with a small business and without establish ing any quotable advantage ever last Tuesday's rates. The home trade is still languid, and, though the prospects of the harvest are better, it is found that the large country ho uses are not disposed to operate largely, finding that the country drapers are only doing a very restricted business, in conse quence of the wide - spre ad losses occasioned by in the s t o ppage of limited comp anies and batiks, an and d conseq uence of non-divide nd paying railway other concerns having interfered sadly with the in comes of county families, who bad hitherto suffered little from such causes. Messrs. John Slince agg an last d Co. report of to-day's c l o th market :—" S Tuesday buyers have operated pretty freely, at the rates current during the prous week. There is no disposition to follow the advevi ance demanded to - day , and though our market presents a more cheerful aspect we close with but a limited business." LEEDS, 13th.—There has been a moderate attend ance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, au fully as much business was done as on this day we corn ek. Th e weather has be come very warm, so that will now ripen fast, and the havest state prospecthingsts aro conseq uently improving. With this a slightly more cheerful tone was shown by the home-trade buyers; but their operations were not very extensive. A moderate degree of activity was manifested by the representation of some shipping houses, and take the market as a whole, both as to the quantity of goods sold and the prices obtained, it was satisfactory. The chief woollen mills in the district arc as well employed as at any time during the present year, yet some are running short time, and the same may be said of those within the borough of Leeds. The cloth dressers are doing only a little less than an average amount of work. ROCIIDALE, 12t h .—The flannel market to-day was of much the same quiet character as last week. There was only a small attendance of buyers, and they bought only small selections of plain and fancy flannels, and the orders given out for early delivery were not large. The Yorkshire goods trade was also ' quiet, and few goods changed hands. The wool 10 trade remains steady as to price, but manufacturers purchase sparingly, more to satisfy immediate than I prospective wants. COMPOUNDING FOR RATES.—The Liverpool Select iere Vestry yesterday, in view of the passing of the Reform Bill, unanimously resolved to confirm the following reso lution 9f the Finance Committee :—" That it be recom mended to the general Board to direct that efforts be made to collect from the occupiers the full rates duo in respect of all property in the parish , and that notice be given that for lgli.eile.tislto find it difficult the future put payrnsnts by owners will not bo received as a full discharge of the liability of will pt I ADVERTISEMENT.] —IIeIIOW:V'S OintmPnt and Pills.— Sure Itolief.—Tho weak and enervated suffer severely from nervous affections when storms or electric disturb ances agitate the atmosphere.
