Ai well might the Oil (ins company now declare that they must. object to any improve ment upon their method jof Manuractoririg light, until they shall have reaped their anticipated profits. If-such a plea could be admitted, the enterprising spirit how abroad Would be checked, although it is obvious,' rthat^ every encouragement should be given to it ; and more 'especially as that very encou ragement operates as the most wholesome restraint spon vi sionary speculation, by exposing it continually to active com petition. It is curious,-that while the ,Coal Gas Companies use every argument to assure their proprietors and the public, that Oil Gas cannot . lie advantageously used, they are, at.an enorm ous expence, Session after Session, in opposing its in troduction. If it cannot, why- oppose this Bill, and thus preclude the proof of their own assertions ! Their wisest course surely would be to throw all the expence of the unsuccessful attempt upon the projectors, bat we more than half suspect, that in proportion to these efforts of opposition, we may calculate the danger' anticipated to the interests of the Coal Gas Companies, and the benefits to be derived, not only by the Oil Gas Proprietors, but, which is of far more consc quenct, by the Public. ABSTRACT OF THE UNITARIAN DISSENTERS' 111.AltRIAGE BILL.
