THE GAS SUPPLY.

Dr. LETHEBY presented a return of the gas sup-
plied to the City during the past week, from which
it appeared that the average illuminating power of
the City Company's gas had been equal to that of
13.78 sperm candles of standard quality, the Char-
tered to 13.03 candles, the Great Central to 1373
candles, and the Commercial to 13.29, all of which
averages were above the Act of Parliament stan-
dard. The proportion of sulphur in the gas ranged
from 19.04 grains per 100 feet, to 27.07, the former
being the proportion in the Great Central Gas, and
the latter in the City ; and the daily pressure
ranged from 10 to 22 tenths, the average of each
company being about 12 tenths.
It was decided that a copy of the report of the
medical officer should be sent to the gas companies,
and that they should be informed that the arrange-
ments made for testing the gas in the City are now
complete, and that they were at liberty to witness
the experiments made.

CITY SEWERS COMMISSION.

The Commission of Sewers of the city of London
met yesterday, at Guildhall, for the despatch of
business.

The Principal Clerk laid before the Court a com-
munication he had received from Sir George Grey,
acknowledging the receipt of the letter enclosing a
copy of a communication received by the commis-
sion from the authorities of the Customs ou the
subject of the importation of adulterated German
yeast. A communication was also laid before the
Court from the Commissioners of Customs upon the
same subject. They stated that having been ad-
viEed that the law would not authorise the officers
of the Revenue to interfere in the matter, and
having communicated the facts to the Lords Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Treasury at the head of
the Executive Government, the board regretted
that they could not afford any further information,
or take any further steps in the question.
Upon the suggestion of Dr. ABRAHAM, it was
decided by the Commission that the attention of the
Lords of the Treasury should be called to the whole
subject.

THE BATTLE AT PORT HUDSON.

The following is an account of the battle at Pot
Hudson; taken from the New York, Herald :
Port Hudson, June 17.

At early dawn on Sunday, the 14th inst., we I
commenced another advance movement on Port
Hudson, with a force which was thought to be equal
to any emergency, but which, as the result will
show, was entirely insufficient to accomplish the
object of the original plan.
The different breastworks, rifle pits, and other
outer defences that completely invest Port Hudson
for miles, I have already described in a former letter
with sufficient accuracy. The position of our forces
since my last communication has been somewhat
changed. We now have no centre, but only a right
and kit, which, joined together, forms nearly a
right angle completely enclosing the rebel strong-
hold on the east bank of the river. Gen. Grover's
division is now on the upper side of Port Hudson,
extending a distance of nearly four miles from the
river to the interior to a point within supporting
distance of Gen. Auger's division, which is on the
west side of the rebel fortifications, and extend a
distance of about three miles in the direction of the
river, to within hailing distance of our fleet.
Before proceeding to give the details of our last
desperate struggle to capture Port Hudson, our
assault and repulse, the observations of your corre-
spondent from a high tree, within less than one
hundred rods of the first line of rebel defences, will
very materially explain the difficulties our soldiers
had to encounter, and the almost impassable barriers
presented to retard their advance. From the point
indicated the rebel fortifications and. their immediate
surrounding present the following appearance :
Looking from the extreme north-easterly range of
rebel rifle-pits towards the river on the upper side
of Port Hudson, a long line of earthworks can be
seen, glistening with bayonets and protected by a
ditch nearly 12 feet in width, and, for the purpose
for which it was built, unusually deep. Within
short musket range enfilading breastworks com-
mand every possible approach to the enemy'a

position.
As I have before indicated.; in speaking of the
conjunction of our right and left, the rebel defences
form nearly a right angle, both the lines of which
extend to the river, enclosing a sharp bend in the
stream, by which our gunboats found it so difficult
to pass. The most accessible approach apparently
to the rebel earthworks is over a clear field, about
600 yards in width, and which at first sight presents
the appearance of an almost perfect level• ihe
spot, however, since our last assault/ 11"

PRUSSIA.
A letter from Berlin, dated Oct. 11, says
The accounts given to me of the aspect of Warsaw
by friends who have lately arrived here from that
unfortunate capital are in the highest degree melan-
choly. It is described as a terror-stricken city, whose
inhabitants scarcely dare move out of their houses,
and live in continual apprehension lest some rash
individual act should involve hundreds in ruin.
Of a night none go abroad who can help it; those
whom one meets by day (the women all clad in
deepest mourning) bear upon their countenances the
impression of some great calamity, past or itnmi-
nent. One can imagine a similar look of terror
and dejection worn by the inhabitants of a place
where plague is raging. Like that terrible malady,
the affliction that now rests upon Warsaw is
one against which no prudence can guard. The
system of wholesale punishment for the offences of
individuals is carried out with barbarous and indis-
criminating rigour. Of this the affair at the Hotel
de l'Europe is an example. A person of mysterious
and suspicious character, said to havo acted as spy
both for Poles and Russians, was lodging there.
An assassin made his way into the hotel and stabbed
him„ They struggled out together upon the stairs;
the murderer disengaged himself frotn the grasp of
his victim, sprang through a glass 'duo*, cutting
himself severely in the act, and made his escape.
He was tracked for some distance by the blood
drops that fell from him, but finally escaped. The
hotel, which is a very large one, making up 200 to
300 beds, was forthwith shut up ; the persons
lodging there were driven out into the streets,
and the building was militarily occupied. In
all the proceedings of the Russian authorities,
a degree of reckless brutality is observable, worthy
of the pseudo-civilisation only to be found on the
surface, and characteristic of the people of whom it
was truly said that a little scratching only was
needed to reveal the Tartar. The two affairs of
the Zamoyski Palace and of the Hotel de l'Europe
fully exemplify my meaning. An isolated slime,
committed by a malefactor, with whom it is highly

The Price of Gold.

The qnotatior, of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and
`..:liange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On
theeo
m shortparn
these rates with the English Mint price of A 3
17s. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is
3-10 the rer cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.6} per £1 sterling.
:!,tandard gold at the English Mirt Price is, therefore, about
6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange. at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 154 to 1531 per cent., and the
premium on
gold is about 33 per cent. At these rates there is profit onthe importation of gold from the United States.

PROSPECTUS,

The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone-
tary arrangements of the increasing commercial interests of
Great Britain and its dependencies.
In founding this undertaking the Directors have secured
the co-operation of an old and highly-respected Discount
Firm in London, with whom arrangements have been made
for the transfer of its lucrative business to this Corporation,
and two of whose partners join the Direction. It will thus
be manifest that the Discount Corporation starts with a
large and valuable connection, and acquires the experience
of Directors whose influence and intelligence are certain to
command the confidence of the public.
The material basis of the Corporation will be a large sub-
scribed Capital, judicially distributed.
The recent creation of several large Indian and Colonial
banking institutions, coupled with the expanding home and
continental trades of the country, and the greatly extending
commerc.al transactions with India and the Colonies, lead to
the conviction that greater discounting facilities than at pre-
sent exist are required.
A n establishment, which from its ample means will be able
to supply such requirements, will no doubt be favourably re-
ceived by the trading community, and will at the same time
afford a safe and profitable return equally to those who seek
the permanent investment of their money, and to those who
merely desire the temporary employment of their surplus

The known profitable operations of the old private D 43-
count Firms, and the new Discount Companies, give the as-
surance that a purely Discount business, prudently managed,
will prove a complete success.

The Head Office of the Corporation will be in London.
No promotion-money will be given for originating the
undertaking, and the preliminary expenses will be strictly
confined to such as are indispensable.
Applications for Shares may be addressed in the annexed
form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Corporation, or at
the Offices of the Brokers and Solicitors ; but no application
will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share on the
number of shares applied for has been paid.

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

To the Directors of the Discount Corporation (Limited).

Gentlemen,—Raving paid to your Bankers the sum of
, being a deposit of ZI per Share on Shares in
the above Corporation, I hereby request that you will allot
me that number, and I agree to become a member of the Cor-
poration in respect of such Shares, or in respect of any less
number you may allot me, and to execute the Articles of
Association when required ; and I request that my name
may be placed on the Register of Members for the Shires so
allotted.
