The English finds opened With, great steadiness.
The Guildhall speeches contributed to the favourable
feeling, and there was ultimately an advance of it on
the receipt of the Paris qUotatioris showing a further
considerable increase of buoyancy: lii the discount
niarket there has been a moderate Saturday demand.
About £35,000 in gold was taken from the Bank. The

WEEKLY MAGAZINE, of making it a useiul
.
Periodical, we have
occasionally, under the head domestic, availed ourselves of the
privilege of offering a few suggestions or hints that may prove
acceptable to the gardener's wife, not a few of whom, we are
gratified to say, are readers of our little publication. On the
present occasion, we have a few words to say in favour of
economical cookery, a most important subject, which, as yet,
ras not received that attention it so highly merits. During a
ecent visit to the establishment of Mr. Phillips, the gas
engineer, of Skinner-street, after inspecting some improve-
ments in heating hot water by means of gas, we were shown a
small apparatus, termed an economical gas oven end boiler,
and were asked to test its efficiency by seeing and tasting a
mutton chop cooked in our presence. We may be allowed to
add that it performs its duties very satisfactorily, as will be
seen by the following. The size of the oven is rather above
twelve mches each way, and the form circular, made of sheet
iron, and capable of containing a good 5i,e....
. joint, baking pies,
or loaves of bread, &c. The oven may be removed and a boiler
substituted, and it will hold three saucepans for cooking vege-
tables, &c.; in fact, it is quite a multunt in parvo for the
kitchen ; indeed, roasting, baking, and boiling, may
be all
carried on by it simultaneously. This small apparatus is, in
fact, capable of well cooking four Pounds of potatoes, and five
pounds of ribs of beef, az the cost of one penny only, and,
being portable, may be placed in any situation most conve-
nient. The cleanliness, economy, and convenience of cooking
by gas is now fully admitted, and wherever available, these
inexpensive ovens and boilers, as manufactured by Mr. Phillips,
are very desirable. We were much gratified by the ingenuity
of the inventor, and equally so with the performance of his
invention. ',VET. Phillips Gas Boiler for heating pits, i van-
houses, or conservatories, has beendescribed by us already, se.
