TUE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT EVER INVEN rED. kARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com panies, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out -buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copier, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent s'ating. 1 The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out door purposes may he easily inferred from the simple fact, that its use has been always most strenuously apposed by colour manufac turers, painters, oil and colouimen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being able to ay it on.

FINANCIAL REFORM. REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE. • In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other ; but in our transactions , to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain tireths, from which od no deviation is allowed. These faets, together with e accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have been seldom, if ever, elsewlitra presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item "Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent ; REIDY MADE.

TO be SOLD BY AUCTION, at the Bolton Arms Inn, in Ley burn, in the North Riding of the county of York; on THURSDAY, the 6th day of September next, at - the hour of Six o'clock in the Evening (subject to conditions to be then pro duced), the beautiful FREEHOLD ESTATE of SWINITH WAITE, on which stands the mansion of Swinithwalte Hall; with the Manor or reputed Manor of Temple, and the adjoining Freehold Estates of Temple and Adam Bottoms, situate within the parishes of West Witton and Aysgarth, in the North Riding of the county of York. These estates, forming together a noble domain of nearly 1,000 acres of rich meadow and p ssture land, in a ring fence, are situated on the banks of the river Yore, in the most i ieturesque part of the beautiful and fertile valley of Wensleydale, adjoining upon the domains of Lord Bolton and Sir William Chaytor, Bart., and within two miles' distance of Lord Eolton's family mansion of Bolton Hall. They are most luxuriously ornamented with fine old timber, and are in a high state of cultivation, with all the buildings in excellent repair. The Mansion House of Swinithwa'te Hall is a beautiful gentleman's residence, erected about fluty years ago, in a sheltered situation, en a charming site, backed by fine timber trees, commanding from its south front a view of the bold and magnificent hill of renhill, one of the most conspicuous features of Wensleydale. Frem its north tfont a full view is presented of the majestic ruined Castle of Bol ton, for three centuries the baronial fortress of the Lords Scrope, and the place of imprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots, with its chain of blue hills in the back ground ; and from its east and prin cipal front the windows overlook a long sweep of the richly wooded fertile valley, with the noble woods of Bolton in the distance. The land adjoining is capable of great embellishment; and en this pait of the estate, and within ten minutes' walk from the house, through finely undulated ground, a rocky break in the stream of the river forms the beautiful wate:fall of Rodmire Force. The Mans on comprises entrance hall, dining, drawing, and breakfast rooms, library, servants' hall, and housekeeper's room, with eight bed moire, and numerous well-arranged out-offices, comprising ample stables, coach-houses, &c., and affording every convenience adapted to a country gentleman's residence. The Temple House, on the adjoining estate of Temple, is well adapted for the residence of a gentleman of moderate fortune ; and on an elevated site en the Temple Estate Is placed, amidst ornamental timber and shrubbe ries, an elegantly-built modern tower, in the Italian style of archi tecture, commanding from its windows views of the most strik ingly beautiful and picturesque scenery of the valley and of the whole range of its western mountains; the principal feature in the foreground of the front view being the grand and majestic falls of the river Yore over the rocks of Aysgarth. Field sports may be had in abundance, as it is in the very neighbourhood of fine grouse shooting, and there are numerous plantations forming good grilse covers on the estates. The river Yore, which forms their northern boundary, for nearly two miles in length, affords excellent trout fishing ; and a pack of harriers is kept at three miles distance. The roads are very good. Indeed, for picturesque beauty of site, verdant richness, aad Mrtility of land, fine grown and profusely scattered ornamental timber:and comp aetners and convenience of local position, these estates present a domain NS bleb, for its c m ple.eness and eligibility as a gentleman's residence, can scarcely be surpassed.

The New ]Monthly Magazine for May is greatly superior to many of its predecessors. Seldom (since the days of its great celebrity) have we met with a better number. It opens with a beautiful tale beau tifully written by the author of R Azeth the Egyp tian," and " Amymone ;" but the most interesting article in this magazine is an abstract of Prosper Meriirke's romantic " History of Pedro the Cruel." The " Falkland Islands," " Legends of Breslau," Mr. Jolly Green's account of the " Great Paris Ex cursion," the " Sporting Tour," " Denmark, its People and its Faith," " The lonian 'lsles in 1849," " Lorenzo. da Ponte," by Dudley Costello, some ad mirable remarks on the " Phenomena of Sleep," &c., &c., fill up the remaining pages of this very excellent number of the New Monthly. ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL. No. I. There are but few who will fail to welcome this new publication ; none, certainly, who, on welcoming it, will throw the initial number aside without having derived from it—what it undertakes to impart—both amusement and instruction. We greet an old friend with a new face in Eliza Cook's Journal—one en deared to us by the recollection of so many common joys and sorrows blent together, of so many conge nial thoughts and sympathies shared between the poetess of Melaia and her readers. Eliza Cook is as sociated with the holy memories of our child hood. The simple strains she has sung so musically in her "unpremeditated verse," call to the mind of each of us those thousand and one re membrances of youth which, trivial as they may ap pear in themselves, are beautiful from the fact of their preservation—the flies of memory . embalmed in the amber of song! Her melodious voice has summoned up again to our vision the old brim, and the green meadow, and the cowslips, and the pet dog, and the " story books," once dear to us as fairyland, and prized as though they had been sacred, " Beloved as fable, yet believed as truth." We take a volume of " Eliza Cook" with us when we stroll between the hedgerows, as naturally as we take Falconer in a cruise , or Thomson in a fruit garden,weopen or Herrick Waller ilerrick in a drawing-room, after dawing-rn merrymaking, ntn, or Somerville snaturally as in a park, or Day in a sugar plantation, or Walton when we go an-angling. We mark her pages — accordingly as it may be summer or autumn—with a dead leaf or a pansy ; in spring a crocus leaf ; in winter a leaf of holly. The charm of her ballads is like the air sung by Scrooge's niece, " a thing you coull whistle in t a.° minutes," yet with a tone so sweet and plaintive that it revives in fancy "the merry days when we were young," as if with the sound of an enchantment. Eliza Cook's poetry will live—live in the hearts of "the people," for ste has ever ministered to nature, truth, and love—while, to use the comical traveatie of one of those old minor poets of England who are too little borne in remembrance (Sir John Henry Moore)— Full many an elegy has mourned its fate, Beneath some pasty, cabin's', cribb'd, confined; Full many an ode has soared in lofty state, Fix'd to a kite, and quivering in the wind." And not only has she sung in tender breathings of "fa miliar song ;" she has poured forth stern and inspiring numbers, calculated to help the work of legitimate le gislation, and lead a people to right and noble feeling. Familiar as we are with the powers of :Eliza Cook as a poetess, we rejoice to greet her in her new character as a literary journalist. Her career in editing the new periodical here under consideration opens favourably with the auspices derived fr,m her past reputation. She has before her not a cold and scrutinizing public, but a public whose old friendship renders her reception only remarkable for its cordi ality. We like the plain, honest, home-speaking in her prefatory remarks, " A Word to my Readers." But we like still better her musical retrospect of " Ten Years Ago." Listen to her carolling of all that has passed during that interval between herself and those acquainted with her compositions : " Since then we've mingled cheerfully within our ' House hold Room,' Ye'vo heard me sing ' Old Dobbin's' worth, and tell ' Old Pincher's' doom, Ye hailed me in my ' Murray Plaid,' and listened to my strain, When like a baby in a field I wove my ' Daisy' chain; Ye took my simple ' Old Arm Chair,' ye knew it was a part Ot Love's rich cedar tree, that Death bad cut down in my heart: Ye ,smiled to see my Old Straw Hat' laid by with earnest rhyme, And chorused when a People's Song' awoke your spirit chime; Oh! many a changeful carol lilt has knitted us I trow, Since first my Christmas Holly' flourished, ten years ago "Knitted" thus together by those "changeful carol lilts," we doubt not but that the poetess and her readers will be still snore amicably blended in sym ',Why through the medium of her new Journal. Among her contributors we already recognise " Sil verpen," known to us so long in the rages edited by Douglas Jerrold. The present contribution is a story, suggested by a very beautiful conceit, and called, somewhat eccentrically, " The Three Ilya cinths before Heaven." The narrative is calculated to render every one who peruses it happier. " Proteus" descants admirably upon the advantages of " Cheap Reading," and good old Peter Parley, more garrulous than ever, prattles to his dear little children in " Les sons" which we are satisfied will prove very far from disagreeable. Silverpen has another contribution, most 'sensible in argument, on the "Early Closing Ques• tion." Eliza Cook herself bids us, in prose w Mich almost rivals her poetry, " Make the best of it;" and, among the other papers, we must not forget to mention the charming and epigrammatic column of " Diamond Dust." Such is the opening number of Eliza Co3les Journal. AINSWORTIL " Crichton" continues with unflagging spirit; the close of this instalment leaves Blount and his famous Druid in a very unpleasant, and, indeed, perilous position. A little allegory entitled " Ethnos ' is suf ficiently appropriate for the times we live in. I shows how Ethnos (and who Ethnos is will be readily understood by calling to mind the new science of eth nology, or the study of races) is imprisoned, and how Force and Cunning and Fraud in vain endeavour to extricate him, till Hope, " who could bear this no longer, ran off and fetched Virtue, who brought Freedom and Faith. Knowledge accompanied them, carrying a good handsome lantern to show the way." With such assistance it is not to be doubted that the emancipation of Ethnos was very speedily effected. " Cambrian Isles," No. 111., contains a graceful eulogium upon those impersonations of gracefulness— the fairy people. UNITED SERVICE. The United Service Magazine contains no less ~.an fourteen articles of very various character, ranging "from grave to gay, from lively to severe," e g., "Field Artillery of the principal European States ;" "Notes on Bridles, Saddles, and Stirrups . ;" " Picnics versus Balls ;" and "Half-pay on the Pave." " Snake-charming" is an interesting anec dote concerning that most curious pecularity of the snake-tribe—their love of music. Besides these articles, we have " Adventures in Australia," " A Week in Boston," "On the African Slave Trade," and "The Ariadne and Le Harpagon." THE ECLECTIC REVIEW. The Eclectic Review, as usual, does justice to its title by the diversified nature of its contents. The articles in the NI ay number turn our attention alter nately to Prussia and the Libyan Desert, to Art- Chemistry, and the " Duke of Argyle's Ecclesiasti cal History, to " Sutton's Pcems,' and " Quetelet's Theory of Probabilities," to the Rev. Jamns Shore, and to Revolutionized Italy, and finally to the Dis senters, their grievances and their policy. In one of these articles—the review of " Sutton's Poems," we find the following just definition of the poet's mis sion :—" Their demands, in nothing more a division of employment than in the work of promoting the progress of humanity. There are thousands who can mingle in the daily political contest, or who can pro secute the more tender cause of visiting the widow and the fatherless in their affliction.' But the true poet is a more rare personage. It is his high and sacred duty to retire into the closet of reflection and inspiration, and thence send f orth the strains that kindle in a thousand hearts the more practical efforts of human life. It is his sacred com mission to work in the good work of enlightensoothing the darkness, and red ressin g the wrongs, and ing the sufferings tof his fellows, b the hands of m illions that start at he trumpet-voicey of his call, an d labour in the warmth he has diffused." 111.1SCELLA NLOUS. The principal article in the Metropolitan concerns Sir Robert Walpole, his life and administration, ears' in which " honour duo" is given to the twenty years' Minister. In some verses to --, we find a—per haps accidental—plag , ,ic_iarism of Tennyson : " Mu's voice to thine, is as water unto wine." The Sporting Review is adorned with a por. trait o f cinntioleer, the winner of the Don. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

FECTS.—Yesterday the costly and elegant contents of Gore House, the residence of Lady Blessington, were brought under the hammer by Mr. Phillips, in conse quence of the noble owner's determination to take up her future residence in Paris. The first day's sale con sisted of the furniture of the boudoir and drawing•room and the exceedingly rare collection of Sevres and other old porcelain. Amongst the latter was a Dresden basket, containing an exquisite bouquet of Sevres china flowers, which fetched 501. 125. Two smaller baskets, of a similar description, sold for 31 guineas each. A pair of fine old Dresden bottles, with fruit and flowers, in high relief, sold at 421. 45. Two pair of cups and saucers, of Capo di Monti porcelain, were bought by Mr. Webb for 371. 16s. •An antique amber jug, formerly in the possession of the Empress Josephine, was knocked down at 51. ss. A pair of apple-green Sevres cups, with covers, brought 631. Another pair, slightly flawed, from the Baroness Howe's colic ction, was sold for 521. 10s. A pair of old blue Sevres vases, supporting lily can delabra, once the property of Marie Antoinette, went for 73/. 12s. The last lot was a model of the Countess of weighingß lessi n i g o t o s n o ' s u hands,ounces , w resting iob o uiy produced n r a o d cushion, in About silver, 2,200/. was r ea li se d by the day's sale. [ADVERTISEMENT.—An Abscess in the Breast Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— About three years since Mrs. O'Flaherty of Mill-street, Cork, accidentally bruised her breast, for months afterwards the pain increased and the part became fearfully swollen ; various applications were tried without giving the least relief. Ultimately an ab scess formed, discharging a great quantity of hqnaour, which debilitated her constitution to an alarming extent • at this stage a lady s t rong ly recommended her to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, h av ing witnessed their g oo d e ff ec t s o n former occasions, Which advice sbe followed, and these fine medicines answered most satisfactorily, for the wound was soon healed, and her health is now completely renovated.— Sold by all Druggists and at Profes.or Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. Mrs. Butler, after the completion of her Shakspe rian readin gs i n the United States, will return to this Country. /// . [PRICE SD. caster Cup, 1848, and an engraving of " . The likeliest Place," humours!y described in the letter-press by Oxonian. The Farmers' Maga zine gallantly enters the lists against Blackwood on the subject of the services rendered by science to , agriculture. The pictorial contents of the Far mers ' for May are " Cotswold Rams," and a " Polled Angus Bull." The London Journal and Repertory of Modern Inventions contains some very beauti fully designed representations of improvements in steam-engines and railway carriages, and in chrono meters, clocks, &c. The Patent Journal is filled with an abundance of interesting information concerning new inventions and improvements. Numerous as is the list of periodicals already before the public, we observe it has recently received an augmentation in the Ethical Reformer, the Commonwealth, and the Sporting Times—the titles of which sufficiently in dicate their several styles, and the merits or demerits of which time will probably develop. The Family Herald, if it were wholly destitute (which it is nut) of original merit, would be invaluable as a treasury of selections. Maxims of wit and wisdom, scattered over the pages of a hundred periodicals, are here col lected. Here is a quaint but very expressive simile, which may serve* for a sample of the whole :—" Marrying a lady for her beauty is like eating a bird for its singing." The Journal of Public Health deserves a longer notice, which it shall have on another occasion. The Church of England Magazine, as we have repeatedly said, furnishes an excellent course of reading for the several Sundays of the mouth. Murray's Home and Colonial Library, which we have so frequently com mended as it deserves, gives us this month a very interesting account of "A Residence in Sierra Leone." Knights Monthly Volume, No. XLIV., completes the admirable shilling series, with the conclusion of " Rambles by lavers." The Land we Live In, Part XXII, is peculiarly interesting. It gives a pen and pencil delineation of "Ayrshire, and the Land of Burns," and the attractions of the description are en hanced by quotations from the poet—more especially when the banks of Ayr are mentioned, the spot where I he fondly bade— " Simmer first unfauld her robes, And there the longest tarry, For there I took my last farewell 0' my sweat Highland Mary." The National Library of Select Literature contains Part IV ( f " Knight's Studies of Shakspere." The Pictorial History of England introduces us to the times of the great Reform struggle. This number contains a map of South Africa. The Colonial Ma• gazinc has increased in size and improved in ability. The Colonial Church Chronicle .pursues the even tenor of its way. Le Follet is as beautiful as ever. FINE ARTS. THE HALT. Painted by 11. T. Ausdell and W. P. Frith, A.R A. A picture conjointly produced by these artists is now on exhibition at 130, Regent-street, and will very shortly be rendered popular by representation in an engraving, partly in line, partly in mezzotinto, from the practised hand cf Mr. H. T. Ryall. We have recently had the gratification of inspecting the original painting, which evinces a very remarkable unity of feeling on the part of Mr. Ausdell and Mr. Frith. The incident is simple, but charming from its very simplicity. A sportsman, after a met ry day's pleasure, has consigned his horse for a while to the care of the ostler at a roadside tavern. The horse, ‘lith its veins distended, its head drooping, its saddle glossy from friction, its stirrups dusty—is drinking a long, cool, delicious draught of water from the bucket raised on the crook'd knee of the stableman, who, by the way, seems to be carrying on a little incidental flirtation with the buxom girl leaning with her arm across the mane of the poor steed. The dogs, with an eye to the alleviation of their own thirst, have followed their four-footed comrade, and one of them, with a greedy eye and a vigilant expectation, is watching the drops of water splashed over the edge of the bucket by the bridled mouth of Dobbin. With the exception of the figures, the ostler and the serving maid, the picture is entirely by Ausdell, and it will certainly nut fail to enhance his reputation. Conceived in the style of Herring and Landseer, the " Halt" is no servile imitation. It is painted with great anatomical correctness, end with an artistic regard to every de tail of the manipulation. THE ART JOURNAL. Appearing sitnultancously with the opening of the exhibition at the Royal Academy, the interest of the May number of the Art Journal is always in some measure deteriorated. We look, and of course in vain, for some reference to that prominent theme of artistic criticism. Our disappointment of course engenders a longing for the June number, which longing is, as a matter of necessity, to the detriment of the number just published. Howbeit the Art Journal fur May is in no respect barren of attraction. The Vernon Gallery, or as Punch calls it, the Ver non Pit., affords apparently inexhaustible subjects for the engravings of this eminent periodical. Besides a very beautiful copy by Bentley, from Constable's "Valley Farm," and one by Wilimore, of Collins's " Prawn Fishers" (both from the Collection in the cellars of the National Gallery), there is a splen did engraving of a sketch taker, from John Gibson's noble statue of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. The biography of this great sculptor is the most en tertaining contribution to the number, not excepting Mrs. S. C. Hall's pilgrimage to the house of John Kyrie at Ross, or the embellished paper on the OLn inegang of Brussels. DEATH OF SAMUEL MAUNDER. We have the sorrowful task to announce the death, on Monday, the 30th April, ti this truly excellent man, and most meritorious writer, at his house in Gibson-srpiare, Islington. It was but the other day (gee Literary Ga zette, No. 1,6630 thl,t, in speaking of his portraite, then put lished by Messrs. Longman and Co., we seized the occasion to offer a few remarks upon the great useful ness of his literary career, and his worth as a friend, whom we had known well, and esteemed much, for many a year. Mr. Maunder was the brother-in-law of William Pinnock, (who married his sister,) and who was so justly celebrated for the . course he opened and pursued with such ardour in regard to books for educa tional purposes. Pinnock's catechisms will never be for gotten when education is treated of ; and in their pro duction Maunder was the true workman, to whom the youth of England were chit fly indebted for their in structian; and also for those of a historical kind, which were no less skilfully sled admirably edited. Pinnock had, no doubt, the honour of the originA design ; but he was of too enthusiastic and speculative a character to settle fixedly to any one object, however large ; and the profitable trade in his own catechisms and histories (worth several thousand pounds a year) was insufficient to satisfy his ambition; and he diverted his mind from this certain fortune for other schemes, which ended in the confusion of all, and his own ruin. Meanwhile, the honest and painstakineThlaunder kept steadily on. During several of the early years of the Gazette, (whilst Pinnock and Maunder were its publishers,) and occa sionally since, he has contributed his aid to its columns; but the solid business of his life was addressed to the compilation of those most useful and invaluable volumes, which Messrs. Longman have from time to time brought out under the well-deserved titles of " Maunder's Tree.: sury of Useful Knowledge," " Maunder's Treasury of History," " Maunder's Scientific and Literary Treasury," " Maunder's Treasury of Natural Ilistory," " Maunder's Biographical Treasury," " Maunder's Universal Class Book," &c. The labour bestowed on these publications has always claimed our warmest encomium. Maunder was not a rson to undertake and not to do. Most conscientiously and diligently did he acquit himself of every one of his tasks; and the consequence is, that for general reference there are no works extant (we hardly except the largest Cyclopedias) superior to his neat portable volumes, for every seeker of information. The avidity with which youth and intelligent childhood consult them is the highest testimony, and we know many houses to which we have recommended them, that "go to Maunder" has become the watchword and advice whenever any difficulty occurred in study or reading, end seldom have we found the appeal made in vain. Up on every ground,heree7 fore, we venture unhesitatingly to pronounce Mr. andhia Maunder en eminent benefactor to his kind, name, name, one to be remembered with re h s a p d ect n and gratitu de reached a by generations yet , unborn. called away, an . d if just and good d b o u f t bliefebwashicbheeluedus to fea l r i i n ts so sudden tt rmina pticornin; in its best sense for in thesetile dust," s e o s 0 self-estimate 1 ft-oes literaturet mat e an d firm integrity, an absolute nctinns a d ev modestotedn e a d nd uc p a long shall his memory be cherished throughout the pursuits smell s in zu a e s l e l sweet e the a people — ifand blossom British erupire.—Literary Gazdte. DEATLI OF TIM LORD BISHOP or LIMERICK.— BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY.—At the commencement of last week the lion. and Right Rev. Edmond Knox, Bishop of Limerick, arrived here on his way to Ireland, and put up at Beech's Railway Hotel, being at the time suffering from inflammation of the lungs, occasioned by cold. Finding himself unable to prosecute his journey, medical advice was procured, but without effect, and his Lorth-hip expired on Thursday. Ilis remains arc still at the above hotel, from whence they will be conveyed by railway to Liverpool, and thence to Rostrevor, for interment in the family vault with his wife, the late Mrs. Knox. The de ceased Prelate was the youngest LOD of t :t: late Visc , ,uht Northland, and uncle to the present Earl of Ranfurley. He was in the seventy-seventh year of his age.

THE GAS QUESTION. —The controversy as to the reduction of the price of gas in the metropolis, which has hitherto been confined to the city of London proper, is now likely to extend itself to the whole of the gas consuming districts of London. The citizens have long demanded that the two companies, which share between them the monopoly within the walls, should reduce their price from 6s. per 1,000 cubic feet to 45., a demand which they strenuously re sisted, and this gave rise to the City Gas Consumers' Com pany, which offers to supply the whole City at the maxi mum price of 4s. In order to stave off, if possible, this threatened opposition, the old companies have tardily and reluctantly offered to reduce the price within the City boundary to five shillings, and here for the present they appear resolved to stop, However this reduction might have satisfied the citrzens some time back, it now fails short of their expectations, whilst, as a natural con sequence, it is originating demands in other quarters which will speedily press heavily on the attention of these campanies. The City Company and the Chartered Com pany both supply gas beyond the City boundary, the tomer in the vicinity of Hatton•garden, Saffron-hill, St. John's, Cleikenwell, &c.; and the latter in the parishes of Ste James's, Clerkenwell, St. Luke's, and in the Finsbury district. Some of the more active indi viduals in these districts are already agitating the ques tion—why they should not also receive from these com panies the benefit of a similar reduction, as the difference between them and their neighboers is a mere conventional line. The same demand will also pro bably extend to the districts supplied by the Chartered Company, from Park-lane on the west to the City bouudary on the east, and from Oxford-street and Holborn on the north to the Thames and Vauxhall-bridge on the south. The various other metro pelican companies who have supported the two City companies in the uniform prise 01 Gs. will also feel more or less the detection of the latter from the uniformity compact. 130 that as it may, it is impossible tot to foresee that the concession of cheaper gas must ere long be ex tended by the existing companies considerably beyond the limits to which it is at present proposed to confineit. ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL.—The prizes in the me dical school of St. George's Hospital for the past ses sion were distributed yesterday in the presence of a numerous body of spectators by the Dean of West minster, who, in uwardiag the honours, made some very interesting observations upon the importance of the different departments of study in which they had been won.
