ÜBLIC NOTICE. - WAR AGAINST
RIGHT.—The Diamond Lamp is perfect—Puy no other.—
The so-called Carcel Lamps are leaky aid worthless. All who
have bought them, know this too well. These Camel Lamps are
puffed off for the Diamond Lamp—What a delusiou! What an
absurdity to think thus to triumph over public opinion. The
language that describes CLARK'S DIAMOND LAMP is copied
to eulogize these Carcel Lamps.
The Metropolitan Light Company, to end these Impositions, give
this notice, so that by all demanding the Diamond Lamp, the de-
ceptive Carcel Lamp can no more be sold.—The Diamond Lamp
bears a Label, of which is inscribed " CLARK'S PATENT DIA-
MOND OIL LIGHT," so all can know the Lamp.
The Diamond Lamp with the Eight, New Lights are always bunt-
ing at the Establishment of the Metropolitan Light Company.

growth and for improving and beautifying the hair; ROWLAND'S
KA LYDOR, for improving the skin and complexion and removing
cutaneous eruptions ; and ROWLAND'S ODONTO, for beautifying

indispensable in the requisite accompaniments of the decorative re-
pository.

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. Mr. 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
sach resolution ; and that the general purpose committee be
instructed to inquire and report as to the best means of 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.
