CITY OF LONDON SEWERS.
THE CITY GAS BILL.
Yesterday the Commissioners of Sewers assembled at
Guildhall for the purpose of discussing the propriety of con-
tinuing the proceedings to obtain a measure in Parliament to
enable the citizens of London to procure gas at a moderate
price. £lr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. The Commis-
sioners, after a discussion of considerable length, came to the
following resolution, by a majority of 19 to 7 :
" That no further proceedings be taken in prosecuting this
Bill, and that it be referred to the Board of Health to pre-
pare a report, to be presented to the Court of Common Coun-
cil, explaining the grounds upon which we have come to
such resolution ; and that the general purpose committee be
instructed to inquire and report as to the best meanset effect-
ing a reduction in the price of gas to the citizens of London."
Those who were for proceeding with the Bill were ex-
tremely 'indignant at the resolution to which the Commis.
sioners had come, after the infinite pains taken,by the Corpo-
ration to accomplish a reduction in the exorbitant price of so
necessary an article.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.
This theatre, on Wednesday, was crowded to excess, to
witness the first appearance of Mr. Butler Wentworth,
an aspirant to histrionic fame, who-14.a met with rnooi
derable success in the provinces. Tho part selected for
the occasion was that of the Duke of Ararma in
the Honeymoon; and to judge from the warmth of
the reception, it would appear that his good for-
tune has attended him to the metropolitan boards.
The character was performed throughout with great
care and judgment, and with much spirit and animation.
Mr. Wentworth possesses those natural advantages
which are of so much importance to gentlemen of his
profession—a good figure, a handsome countenance, and
an excellent voice. his articulation is easy and distinct,
and his deportment and bearing elegant and dignified,
without the slightest appearance of affectation. lie
is not, however, free from faults ; but they
are such as practice, and, perhaps, a clearer
perception of the character he undertakes would
soon rectify and amend. He was ably supported
by Mrs. Stirling in Juliana, and by Mr. Compton in
Jaques, whose dry humour created a good deal of amuse-
ment. At the close of the performance Mr. Wentworth
and Mrs. Stirling were called before the curtain, and
were received with much applause.

To TEACHERS or LANGUAGES.—The most rapid
mode of teaching or acquiring a knowledge of languages, is
by means of the system promulgated by Mr. James Hata-
ton, which has now stood the test of many years' practice, by
some of the most eminent teachers of the present time, with
the moat astonishing results. Teachers not acquainted with
the system of Mr. Hamilton, may readily acquire a thorough
knowledge of the plan of teaching from a pamphlet, just pub-
lished, price sixpence, entitled " The History, Principles,
Practice, and Results of the Hamiltonian System," which
may be had of C. H. Law, 131, Fleet-street, London, where
all Mr. Hamilton's books can be procured ; also a list of the
works gratis.—The pamphlet will be sent free on receipt of
ten postage stamps.
MORDAUNT HALL.—This new novel, by the author
of " Emilia Wyndham," " Angela," &c., not only fully sus-
tains the high reputation of its popular author, but will even
raise it in the estimation of the literary world. Rarely has
an excellent moral purpose been so strikingly developed
through the medium of a tale, abounding in dramatic inci-
dent, and filled with a succession of characters so varied in
their attributes, and so truthfully and energetically painted,
that they form a gallery of portraits worthy to rank with
the creations of the greatest masters of modern fiction.
Among the most prominent of these characters are the noble-
minded, but unfortunate hero, Gideon; his beautiful and
erring mother, Miriam ; and the clever and accomplished,
though profligate and degraded, statesman, the Earl of
Avonmore, his father; the charming Christian-souled Ca-
lantha Mordaunt, Gideon's benevolent and ardent protector;
the proud and sensitive Mr. Chandos ; his superficial, vain,
and imperious wife; and their sweet and naive daughter
Kitty. Not to speak of the other subordinate personages of
this clever and exciting story, the burly, brutal, school-
master, Singletrees, and his gentle usher, Prior, are sketchesthat will remind the reader forcibly of Dickens.—Evening
Paper. _ _

HER MAJESTY'S CUSTOMS.--PLYAIOVTR, PER. I.
For many years past deputy warehouse keepers of customs
have been stationed at the various Royal victualling estab-
lishments, into whose custody have been delivered all cus-
tomable articles for the use of the naval department ; but as
the Lords of the treasury consider that on the delivery of
such goods from one department of Government to another
there is no occasion to continue the services of such an
dicer, their Lordships have ordered the discontinuance of
the deputy warehouse keeper at the Royal William
Victualling-yard, Stonehouse—a measure which no doubt
will be extended to other victualling establishments in the
United Kingdom.
PRINCESS'S CONCERT-ROOM.—On Thursday night
Mr. Laurent gave a fourth grand dress-ball at these rooms.
As the evening progressed, and the attendance of visitors
became more numerous and crowded, the ball-room presented
a very animated and lively appearance, a testimony, without
doubt, that'repetition had not caused these entertainments to
flag, or become diminished in popularitY• The dances were
well-selected and numerous, and apparently enjoyed by the
company with excellent zest.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Life Guardsman, one of
the Heroes of Waterloo, Cured of Rheumatism by Hol-
loway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. Thomas Brunton,
landlord of the Waterloo Tavern, Coatham, Yorkshire,
was afflicted for many months with rheumatism and
rheumatic gout ; his legs were dreadfully painful and
disfigured with colours of every hue, frightful to behold;
for ten' weeks he was wholly unable to walk. The treat-
ment he received from several medical men, not only
failing to do him any good, but leaving him, in fact, in a
considerably worse condition. At this juncture Hollo-
way's Pills and Ointment were resorted to, and by their
sole means he has been restored to health and strength.
Sold by all Druggists, and at Professr Holloway's Esta-
