AS TO THE COMMITTEO'S CONCLX.7BIOIO3.

in a former-part of the report it is stated, on the authOrity
of Messrs.,Clegg and Taunton, "that An overcharge of water
causes the meter to register more gas than passes through it,
but that an undercharge of water has the contrary effect. It
is also stated, in another place, " that the numbers overcharged
and undercharged:with water were about equal." It is evident,
therefore, that the company were no gainers by these alleged
inaccuracies ; -and the directors cannot but regard the conclu-
sion arrived at by the ,committee, namely, " that, taking into
consideration the overcharges made from incorrect registration
of meters, the present price of gas is far too high." not only as
altogether unwarranted by the premises, but they contend that
a correct mode of reasoning should have led the committee to
a conclusion exactly the opposite of that expressed in their re-
port ; for if, by the erroneous registration of the meters, the
Gas Company have obtained a greater revenue than they were
entitled to, then, by a correct registration, their revenue would
necessarily be reduced, and they would be the less able to
afford gas at the present price; much less would they be able
to supply gas at the reduced price.
In the remarks already made, the directors consider that
they have sufficiently replied to the second, third, and fourth
of the committee's conclusions, namely, those relating to the
registration of meters, the illuminating power of the gas, and
the supply to the suburban districts ; and, as regards the com-
mittee's assertion, that the meters in use are generally of im-
perfect construction, the directors deny this; and would refer
to the following paragraph in Mr. Clegg's report to the
committee —" I do not think there is much the matter with
the meters themselves, either as regards workmanship or
materals."

The other points alluded to in the reply are the reduction of
the priee of gas, the suggested competition, meter•inspector,
and cost of manufacture.

The reply concludes by saying: —The directors believe they
have substantially replied to the various charges and observa-
tions contained in the committee's report; and they would
hope that the council, having now the whole question before
them, will consider that they are best promoting the interests
of the inhabitants of the borough, by adhering to thzprineiple
laid down by the council in 1847, and by discouraging all at-
tempts to distnrb the settlement of gas supply then effected,

LAST WEEK, the births of 828 boys and 787 girls, in all
1,615 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor-
responding weeks of the years 1845-54, the average number
was 1,415.

THE sword about to be presented by the people of Glasgow
to Sir Colin Campbell will be a Highland basket-hilted dress

BURYING A WHOLE Penisa.—The sexton of Collumpton,
in Devonshire, who died a few days since, bad buried upwards
of 4,000 persons, while the population of the town is only
3,655. It is said that the sextonship had been in his family
for a period of 200 years.
THE NEW FRENCH ADMIRAL.—Rear Admiral Count
Bonit-Willaumez has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of
the French naval division in the Levant, and of the expedi-
tionary corps in Greece, replacing M. Jacquinot, who is ap-
pointed Vice-Admiral. Rear-Admiral Rigault de Genouilly is
named member of the Council of Admiralty, replacing Vice-
Admiral La Place, called to other functions.
THERE has been a sale of the beasts of the Surrey Zoologi-
cal Gardens, the present proprietor contemplating a total
change of entertainment. The lions were knocked down at
a price far below their value ; the celebrated large elephant
was sold to Mr. Batty for 320 guineas; the bears to Messrs.
Ross, the barbers.
ON Monday, a deplorable accident occurred in the Woolwich
Arsenal, by the explosion of a quantity of powder in the
rocket-making sheds. The sheds were blown into the air. and
nine men dangerously injured, three being in a dying state,
and one died on Tuesday. The accident was caused by sparks
generated through friction iu mealing the powder.
THE omnibus proprietors who are opposed to selling their
business to a French company, have appointed a committee
to investigate the improvements which have been made iu
the Liverpool and Manchester vehicles, so as to give those
public advantages to the metropolis. Mr. H. Gray, chairman
of the non-sellers' society, has already made improvements
as to ascending the roof ; and Mr. Hicks has placed divi-
sional arms to the inside seats of his Camden-town omnibuses.
THE grand terrace of the gardens of the Tuileries is to be

'XIV., of the Empress Marie Louise, the Duchess of Berri
(mother of the Duke de Bordeaux), and the Duchess of
Orleans.

OFFICIAL RETURNS show that the number of foreigners
and provincials who visited Paris during the Exhibition
amounted to 579,549 persons-410,945 French, and 168,604
foreigners. In this total are not included the visitors who,
from their fear of not obtaining lodgings at Paris, took up
their residence at Versailles, St. Germain, and other places in
the environs of the capital ; nor those who arrived in the
morning and left at night.
THERE was a court-martial at Chatham, on Wednesday, to
try Dr. Robert Wallace, late of the James Watt, for being
drunk while on shore at Gotbland, in August last, and also
for treating with harshness some invalids under his care about
that time. The first charge was found to be fully, and the
second partially proved, and the doctor was sentenced to be
dismissed the service.

THE Morning Post, in noticing the arrival of the guests
at Guildhall, London, at the entertainment to the King of
Sardinia, says—" First came Admiral Sir Charles Napier, to
gratify the excited expectancy of the company. His entrance
was loudly cheered, and celebrated by an outburst of music
from the band of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, in the
gallery facing the vestibule. Perhaps a moral lesson was
intended by their choice of a tune, which was Steady, boys!
steady !"

A PARISIAN CABDRIVER, of the Rue Rumfort, was found
last week dead, having hanged himself behind the door of
his lodgings. He had written with chalk on the door the
following words :—" What I have now done I have intended
effecting sixteen years ago, but then my children were too
young. To-day they can do without me. I am wearied of
malting the daily circle of the same occupations and annoy-
ances without any object in view that I can understand, even
if one exists. My absence from the world will not be re-
marked or felt. Adieu, then, my friends !"

AT a court of the governors and almoners of Christ's
Hospital, on Wednesday, the proposal that at Easter next no
presentations be granted, except to her Majesty the Queen,
his Royal Highness the President, the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor• and the governors made in respect of the speciality of
their donations up to the Court in March, 1866, was adopted.
This recommendation was made, it was stated, in consequence
of the present position of the funds of the• institution, by
which it appeared that the expenditure had, for some time
past, exceeded the income by between £3,000 and £4,000
a-year.

THE clerks in the customs at Hull have adopted a uniform,
and the idea has been started of, a uniform for the whole of
the civil service. The Hull uniform is of navy blue cloth—
frock coat, with silk collar, double breasted, buttons finely
gilt, with the crown on them ; sleeve braided round the cuffs,
with gold braid. Waistcoat single breasted, to button to
throat, or flat, at the option of the wearer. Trousers with a
blue cord down each side. Cap blue, with a gold crown in
front worked on a silver ground, in a gold circle.
THE partners in the firm of Martin, Pillans, and Co., at
Calcutta, (founded on the ruins of Cockerel), Larpent, and
Co., who were found insolvent in 1847,) have applied for their
discharge in the insolvent court there. Mr. Martin obtained
his discharge ; but Mr. Pillans was refused, in consequence,
as stated by Sir Lawrence Peel, who sat as commissioner, of
a breach of a deliberate engagement with the North-western
Bank, to the hypothecation of some indigo upon the renewal
of a bill by the bank in October, 1854.

THE director of a company cannot, it appears, recover of
them his fee for attendance at board meetings. At the Lord
Mayor's Court, Mr. Bentley, a director of the South Essex.-
Gaslight and Coke Company, sought to recover of the com-
pany 21 guineas for so many days' attendance at the board of
directors, the board having passed a resolution giving each
director £1 Is. per day for so attending. Mr. Locke said it was
a well-known principle in law, that a plaintiff could not recover
against his partner in trade. A director was in the same posi-
tion, and could not maintain an action against the company of
which he was a partner, for services rendered as an officer of
the company. The recorder considered that the action would
not lie, and the defendant was nonsuited.
FRATRICIDE.—One of the most shocking murders that has
occurred for some time has just taken place at Clayton West,
about five miles and a half from Barnsley. The perpetrator
is a strong young, man, about 36 years of age, named James
Wharam, in the employ of Mr. Joseph Norton, of Clayton
West, as a worsted dyer, and has a wife and four children.
The young man murdered was Jeremiah Wharam, 29 years
of age, and brother of the murderer. The two brothers were
at the Commercial Inn, in Clayton West, in company with
several others, on Saturday night, and some difference arose
between the two on going out a little after 12 o'clock. James
called out to his brother, "Go home, old shoddy." This, it
seems, was something offensive, and had reference to deceased's
wife and a shawl. He replied, "That's enough to turn back
for." He did so, and going up to his brother James, a scuffle
ensued, and deceased was stabbed in the left breast and side
in ten places with a knife, which has not been found. De-
ceased, on being taken away to his own home, said, " I am a
(lead man." He died almost instantly. An inquest was held
,apon the body, and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful ,
murder."—Leeds Intelligencer.
A DEPUTATION from the religious societies of Great Britain
was introduced to the King of Sardinia, on Tuesday, when

A SimutuArrc BURGLARY. - Two ticket-of-leave men,
named William Renton and John Clarke, were examined at
the Leeds Court-house on Saturday on a charge of burglary
and robbery committed in the house of Mr. John Haines, of
Knostrop, near Leeds. Mr. Haines is an irournaster, residing
at Tipton, Staffordshire, but has a house at Knostrop, at
which he sojourns when he visits the neighbourhood-of Leeds.
Between 2 and 3 o'clock on the morning of the 21st of
August last, while Mr. Haines was in bed, awake, at his
house at Knostrop, his bedroom door was opened, and a Man
entered with a lighted candle in one hand, and a bludgeon in
the other, and his face browned, The burglar advanced to
the bedside, and, seeing Mr. Haines awake, said, "Be steady."
Mr. Haines asked what he wanted ? The Burglar—" Your
money." Mr. Haines —"Be a man, and I'll give it you."
Burglar—" Where is it Mr. Haines—" In my trousers'
pocket." Haines
—" Have you no money in the room ?"
Mr. Haines— not." Burglar—" Are you not the
landlord of the house ?" Mr. Haines—" No ; lam only a
lodger." Burglar—" Are you sure of that ?" Mr. Haines—
'On my honour, I'm not; there is my portmanteau. You
may look for yourself, and you will see that I am a
traveller." Burglar—" How often do you come here ?" Mr.
Haines—Once a-month, or two months; as it happens."
Burglar—" Now, are you sure you have no more money ?"
Mr. Haines—" I am sure I have not." Burglar—" Where is it
then ?" Mr. Haines—" In my trousers' pocket ; I'll give it
you." Mr. Haines then reached his trousers, and took out 9s.
or 10s., a knife, and some keys. Another burglar who had
entered the room during the conversation took up the money
at the request of the other fellow, who then said to Mr
Haines, Now, no noise ;" to which Mr. Haines said, "Not
a word; retreat in peace." Both men then disappeared, Mr.
Haines soon afterwards awoke the man and woman who
had charge of the house, and, on examining the premises, it
was found that an entrance had been effected through the
breakfast 'room window, and several articles of pro*isions
lad been carried off. Renton, who was positively identified
by Mr. Haines; was committed to the assizes; Clarke wils dis-
charged.

REVOLT Or THE KIIRDS.—The Russian journal the Cau-
casus states that General Lonsdoff had been obliged to send
a detachment of troops to Van, beyond Alladagh, against the
Kurds, who ha revolted against the Russians.
LIEUT. HILL, the governor of the Middlesex House of
Detention, who was suspended for showing undue favour to
Sir John Paul and his partners, has been restored, after an
admonition.

ME. ROBERT STEPHENSON, C.E., has undertaken to dis-
charge one-half the debts of the Literary and Philosophical
Society of Newcastle, which amount to £6,200, if his fellow-
members will subscribe the other portion.
THE Judicial Committee of the Privy Council have decreed
the restitution of the proceeds of the Danish ship Franciska,
captured on the 22nd of May, 1854, by her Majesty's ship
Cruiser, for a breach of the blockade of Riga, condemned by
the Admiralty Court, and sold. The reason for the restitution
was, that a notification by Sir C. Napier, dated 11th of April,
1854, that " her Majesty's fleet had sailed to take measures
for putting in a state of blockade all the Russian ports in the
Baltic," was not a notice of actual blockade ; and that though
the Franciska had touched at Elsinore after the date of this
notification, and must have learnt its purport from general
notoriety, it was not consonant to the law of nations that she
should be confiscated for a breach of a blockade which had
only been announced as intended.

SLIVERY IN THE UNITED STATES.—A tragedy occurred
near Franklin, Tennessee, the week before last, which, for
finished brutality, throws the recital of " Uncle Tom's Cabin"
altogether into the shade. A woman, named Ellen Burden,
having had her jealousy aroused by some unexplained conduct
of her husband, seized one of her negro slaves, and, after
tying her up, and whipping her until weary of her work,
poured boiling water over her abdomen and legs until the skin
was scalded off, and the fatty tissues cooked, leaving the
muscles-bare. The poor victim was then locked up in a smoke-
house, where she remained over night, and the next day was
strung up by a rope attached to one of the smoke-house joists.
When her dead body was taken down, it was found that, in
addition to the other cruelties inflicted upon her, her skull had
been fractured by a blow on the temple with some sharp-
pointed instrument, which penetrated to the brain, and that
two other gashes had been made with the same instrument
on the back part of the head. The woman Burden made no
attempt to escape, and manifested the utmost indifference as
to the affair.— Toronto Globe.

AT a meeting of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Naviga-
tion Company, on Wednesday, Admiral Thornton presiding,
a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, exclusive of a
payment of 30s. per share front the underwritiug account, was
agreed to, and the report was, adopted, There was a length-
ened discussion on the position and progress of the company,
which are regarded as satisfactory ; but an exception was taken
by some shareholders to the appropriation of £lOO,OOO at tit)
present moment, in liquidation of the debenture debt. It vr.ts
expls ined, however, that the profits of the year having enabled
the directors to adopt this course, it was considered preferable
to paying an enhanced rate of interest. In answer to questions
it was stated that the highest offices in the company are ob-
tainable by merit, and that part of the supplies of coal for the
vessels in the East continues to be obtained from Labuan.

A SURGEON AND APOTHECARY in the Westrainster-ro
London, sued a man named Reid, a supernumerary in the
Post-office, at the Lambeth County-court, for £1 155., the
amount of his bill for attending the defendant's wife. Reid
said all his wife had was two bottles of medicine and two pills.
The plaintiff had only visited his wife three times, and had
charged for five visits. He had charged 2s. Gd. a bottle for his
"stuff," and 3s. 6d. for each visit, at the rate of £2 2s. a week;
and how was a man who only earned 19s. a week to pay such
bills ? The Judge : " This is a ridiculous bill, and a down-
right imposition. Medical men cannot charge for visits when
they charge for medicine. There is ss. for an operation, which
I shall allow, but I shall strike out the whole of the visits and
the overcharged mixtures; and as the plaintiff has acted so
dishonestly, I shall not allow one farthing of costs. The
judgment will be for 14s. only. How can you pay it ?"—Reid:
One shilling a month, your honour." (Laughter.)

ST. BARNABAS AND ST. PAUL'S, KNIGHTSBRIDGE.
The decision of Dr. Lushington in the cases of Beale v. Liddell
and Parke and Westerton v. Liddell and Horne, was given on
Wednesday. The judgment was an exceedingly elaborate
one, and its delivery occupied upwards of three hours. Its
practical effect may be thus stated :
At St. Paul's, the communion-table, being of wood, is to re-
main, but the judge observed that it was so massive as not to
be movable with ordinary facility, which he considered that
the law required ; the " credence-table" is to be removed, also
the wooden cross which is on the communion-table -; only one
covering for the communion-table is to be used (instead of the
present rotation of •diflerent coloured cloths), and the " fair
linen cloth," at the time of administering the communion, is
to be plain, without lace or embroidery.
St. Barnabas'—The stone altar, together with the metal
cross upon it, set with jewels, is to be removed, and replaced
by a table of wood ; the credence table is to be removed, and
also the wooden cross over the chancel arch : the brazen gates
of the chancel may remain, though the judge disapproved of
the separation indicated by them ; the ten commandments are
to be placed at the east end of the church ; and the same ar-
rangement to be made with regard to the coverings of the
communion-table as are ordered in the case of St. Paul's
Church.

The candles and candlesticks in both churches are to re-
main, but the judge intimated that the lighting of them
should be confined to occasions when the external light was
insufficient for the officiating ministers to perform their duties.
In dealing with the stone altar and the credence tables, the
Judge stated that he was bound by the decision, some years
ago, of the superior court—the Court of Arches—as delivered
in the well-known judgment of Sir Herbert Jenner Fast; but
Dr. Lushington added that he concurred in that judgment.
In considering the question of ornaments in churches, he la-
mented that there was no such authority to guide him, nor
was there any definite rule to be obtained by a reference "to
the authority of parliament in the second year of the reign of
King Edward the Sixth," mentioned in the directiozi placed
immediately before the order of morning prayer in the Book
of Common Prayer. Under these circumstances, he must
judge of the law of the case by what had been done by those
bishops who lived nearest to the times in which the several
acts, injunctions, rubrics, and canons, had been issued, which
bore upon such matters; taking also into account what had
been the general usage in parish churches. He contended that
what had been in this way prohibited, was prohibited still;
that what was not expressly enjoined or sanctioned must be
regarded as prohibited ; and that the onus lay upon those who
introduced any novelties into our churches, to show that they
were sanctioned by the law, or by general usage, in parish
churches, since the Reformation. Dr. Lushington urged that the
law if available for placing crosses on our altars, was equally,
available for crucifixes : and he laid great stress upon the de-
cision of the Bishop of Exeter, in 1847, on the case of the Rev,
W. Parks Smith, of Torquay.
In both cases notice of appeal has been given.

COURT AND FASHION.

---
THE betrothal of the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia with
the Princess of Oldenburg has taken place.
SIR .GEORGE 'BALLINGAL died suddenly on Wednesday, at
his seat, at Altamonnt, near Blairgowrie.
A LETTER from Paris says :--- The_ marriage of General
Canrobert, with the daughter of a wealthy physician attached
to the Imperial court, is spoken of. The Emperor interesta
himself very much in this union."
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—CoIoneI Griffin is to relieve Colonel
Turner in the command of the Royal Artillery in the Northern
and Midland District, and the latter officer is to replace
Colonel Poole in command of the Royal Artillery at Bermuda:
THE Court left Windsor-castle yesterday for Osborne, there
to remain about ten days, when the Queen will return to the
Castle for the Christmas holidays. On New Year's-day the
oratorio of "Joseph," by 3fehul, will be performed at the
Castle on a grand scale, It is expected that Madame Gold-
' schmidt will take part in the performance.
THE House of Savoy has at two periods been connected by
marriage with that of England. First, in the reign of Henry
when two daughters of Raymond Berengarius, Count of
Provence, and Beatrice, daughter of Thomas, Earl of Savoy,
were married to English princes ; King _Henry himself marry-
ing Eleanor of Provence, and his brother Richard, Earl of
Cornwall and King of the Romans, marrying
her sister
Sanchsa. Queen Eleanor founded St. Katharine's Hospital,
being the
and for nine months held the Great Seal, only female
in the list of the Chancellors of England. The second alliance
was at the era of the Revolution, when Maria Aloisia, eldest
daughter of Henrietta, Duchess of Orleans, and granddaughter
of Charles L, was married to Victor Amadeus ~11., 'Duke of
Savoy, and first King of Sardinia; from whom the present
King is sixth in descent.
His
is
Majesty,beingdeseended from
a daughter of a son of James 1., nearer in right descent to
that King than Queen
Victoria, who is descended from a
daughter of James I.; and the Kings of Sardinia, upon the
extinction of the House of Stuart, became the next in heredi-
tary succession to the throne of Great Briaain, but, being
Roman Catholics, were excluded by the Act of Settlement:
King Victor Amadeus I. protested against the Act at the
time, and claimed that his wife's succession to the British
throne should be preserved.
