GAS WORKS.—Though no one can fail to con-
sider the application of gas, at least to out-door purposes,
one of the most useful discoveries of the present age, it is
equally certain that its manufacture is little short of a dan-
gerous nuisance, wherever it takes place. Of this, in addi-
tion to several similar occurrences, the late explosion at the
South Metropolitan Works affords ample testimony, and
ought to lead to some regulations which should confine these
works, like powder-mills, to isolated situations.
PRICE OF COALS.—A short time ago we directed
the attention of our shipowners to the large return on ca-
pital invested in colliers when the rate of freight was 10s.
per ton. Since then the price of coals has advanced in
London, and is leaving the ships at least I Is. per ton.
The advice we gave our shipowners, to endeavour to obtain
a share of this most lucrative employment for shipping,
does not appear to be much liked in the north, which is a
strong proof that what we recommend is good. We un-
derstand a collier company is forming in London, and the
projectors are very sanguine in their expectations of success,
and not without reason. We are certain something of the
kind would answer here, but it ought to have a more en-
larged object than the mere conveyance of coals. It should
embrace the conveyance of timber to this port. A well.
arranged and judiciously-managed company, having ship-
ping suitable for the Canadian and Baltic timber trades,
might enjoy the best period for the coal trade, after the
season for the other trades was over—viz., during the
winter months. Such of their ships as were adapted' for
colliers might have the spare provisions and all the appren-
tices when the others were laid up, and thus prosecute the
coal trade on terms that would defy competition. The be-
nefit our tradesmen and sailors would derive from such a
company is incalculable. No port in England is so defi-
cient in shipping, considering its extensive traffic, or so
greatly in want of good winter employment for its seamen.
The quarrel between the shipowners and coalowners of the
north may be productive of good if it should convince the
coalcavners of the great impropriety of their holding shares
in north country colliers, • or permitting their clerks and
agents to do so, thereby causing a suspicion among ship-
owners at other ports, that the colliers of Newcastle and
Sunderland have unfair preferences.—Hull Observer.
THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—The Judges
are expected to assemble in the course of the present week,
in order to concert measures connected with the appoint-
ment of the monthly sessions of the Central Criminal Court
during the ensuing mayoralty, the next being the 24th session
since the establishment of the Court, of which the Lord
Mayor for the time being is the Chief Commissioner. It is
expected that the question will be discussed as to the e;,c=
tension of the jurisdiction of the Court from ten to fifteen
miles from the centre of the metropolis. It is admitted on
all hands that the experiment which has been tried during
the two past years has been fraught with many advantages,
the three great principles of the Act having been realized,
viz., speedy justice, economy, and humanity, the latter being
occasioned by a more frequent gaol delivery.

On Tuesday, at a meeting at Huddersfield, Mr.
Richard Oastler, the Ultra-Tory, seconded a resolution
of thanks to Mr. Feargus O'Connor, the Ultra-Radical,
expressed in these words,—" That the thanks of this meet-
ing are due, and are hereby given, to Feargus O'Connor,
Esq., for his great exertions in the cause of liberty, for the
great sacrifices, personal and pecuniary, which he continues
to make in the cause of benevolence ; and for his unceasing
advocacy of the rights of all men, above the age of twenty-
one years, to vote for Representatives—
To make the laws they are to obey,
And to impose the taxes they aro to pay."
Afterwards, on the motion of Mr. O'Connor, thanks were
voted to Mr. Oastler—for what does not appear, but per-
haps for—

His consistency as a Tory
Here displayed in all its glory.
