THE TilrrEoPoisreis GAS SuPPET.—The special
gas committee of the corporation of London have pre-
sented their report. They review the letion of the
past session, which, combined with thedetermination of
the Metropolitan Board of Works to oonstruct a solid
embankment at Blackfriars, it is hoped will ultimately
lead to the removal of the gas works from the neighbour-
hood of the Temple. The committee of the corporation
were appointed in October, 1866, and the supply of gas
was then recV:y the Gas Act of 1860, which Axed
the illumine •power of common gas at 12 candles, an
the price at 4s. per 1,000 cubic feet. The present price
and Maminafing power are 4s. and 14 candles. but helB7o
they will be 3s. 9d. and 16 candles. The price of
cannel gas of 20 candles will also be reduced from 7s. 6d.
and 6s. 6d. per 1,000 cubic feet to a rate proportional
to the price of 3s. 9d. for 16-candle gas. There are pro-
visions in the new act under which the price of gas and
its illuminating power may, after January, 1870, be dimi-
nished or increased, but the committee are confident that if
any chempware made it would be by way of redaction in
price. The committee, in conclusion, congratulate the Court
of Common Council on the satisfactory termination of the
contest in which they have been engaged during three
scan= of parliament, and they believe the result of
their labour; will be to noun an abundant supply of gas
of a high illuminating power at a moderate price.
