A CASE OF PECULIAR HARDSHIP.
A PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION for the Benefit of Mr. CHARLES
HUNT, the original projector and founder of the Commercial Gas-
light and Coke Company, in 1836.
Mr. Hunt having done a public good, and been the means o
of re-
ducing the price of Gas to consumers throughout the Metropolis from
9s. per thousand cubic feet to 65. per thousand cubic feet, therefore
doing away with the long-existing monopoly, and in removing
other
grievances, from his exertions the Gas consumers are now enjoying
the benefits.
A meeting of the Gas consumers and others of the metropolis has
been held at Mr. Stebbing's, Blue Anchor Tavern. Stepney,
for the
purpose of taking into consideration the strong claitns of Mr. Charles
Hunt, the original projector end founder of the Commercial Gas-
light and Coke Company in 1836, it was unanimously resolved :
That Mr. Hunt being the original projector of the Company, and
through his exertions the price of Gas has been greatly reduced, and
haying established his claims by the production of manuscript and
printed documents, whereby Mr. Hunt and his infant family has been
reduced to a state of gat poverty in consequence of his long and
severe illness, also his late accident, a Public Subscription for the
benefit of himself and family be immediately enter has beenered into. Thoutrough
his making the reduction in the price of Oas, of
employ for Six Years.
A Committee was formed to carry out the objects of the meeting,
and Mr. Robertson, of the Queen Catherine, ,
Ratcliffae and MOintedr. StTrea-
eb-
binge, of the Blue Anchor Tavern, Stepney, were pp
surers.
Mr. Hunt has strong claims on the gratitude of the Gas
original consum
price
ers
of the metropolis, who are now paying only one-half the
of Gas.
Subscriptions received by the Treasurers, Mr. Robertson, Queen
Catherine, Ratcliffe, and Mr. Stebbings, Blue Anchor Tavern,

(Published by Permission.)
_ 4, Sambrook-court, Basinghall-street, July 9, 1842.
Snt,—l have received your letter of yesterday's date, and have no
hesitation in answer, to state that you were the projeconsultedtor of the
me
Commercial Gas-light and Coke Company ; having c
some time previous to its formation, with a view to my seeing the
gentleen, who erwrds became the erleinal directors ; and to
enablem me to doaft this,a you furnished me with a series of calcite-
Bons, accompanied by plans of the district, and an estimate of the
outlay and rental, as the basis on which the Company should be es-
tablished. After my explanation to Messrs Goldie, LAMOnt, Henry,
Heathorn, Wilton, and others, it was decided that you should pro-
cure a requision from the inhabitants, being Gas consumers in thei
district, which you succeeded in doing, signed by a very large num-
ber, for abtsali44,oool. rental, before the project wan entertained,
which document, I believe, is in existencecontemplation of
an Act of ParlisMent, you posted all the usual notices, and rendered
an account from which the Committee deducted- sums actually,paid
by you. The prospectus first issued was prepared by you, subjected
to several alterations by different directors, and I have pleasure
bearing testimony to your zealous and indefatigable conduct in the
sale of shares, the subscriptions on which you duly aoeounted for to
me, and generally in promoting the objects of the Company ; your
accounts were audited by a Committee appointed by the directors,
some of the present directors being then in office, viz. :—Mr. Butler,
Mr. Lecesine, and also Mr. Goldie and Mr. Lamont ; they were ap-
proved by such Committee, subsequent to their deduction, which de-
ductions I consider improper, because they were actual payments ;
independently of which, you posted all the original bills, advertising
the formation of the Company, and distributed prospectuses in the
district, to the extent of 8,000 at least, for doing which I know, per-
sonally, that you were at an expense which was not charged by you
to the Company.
I regret that circumstances should itave rendered it necessary for
you to apply to me, as although I may be the only person willing to
vouch to the above facts, nevertheless the directors above-mentioned,
I am sure, wilt not fail to bear I t estimony tyourso all which
obediently have stated.
am, Sir, ,
(Signed) J. H. POLLOCK.
To Mr. Chas. Hunt, 18, Upper John-street Stepney,
Projector of the Commercial Gas-light and Coke Company.
P.S. I can feel no hesitatio
(whichersonally coming forward to state
the above facts, should it be I trust It may not be) necessary.

31 One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
;opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
aitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
If caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
xmaprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only
marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the affiance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
hese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
XEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
relined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor
from be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their sapposed contents, obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the ernpyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the ago. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim our attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) celled " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid, and " How is be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribbling' of the hour, but the study o

STERILITY.—Whatever is unproductive is with-
out intrinsic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that
which " yields no fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned
for the same reason that caused the barren fig tree to be cursed.
This curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth
famine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into the
ear of those of the human race who remain childless in a community
which must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only
do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures,
but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation
to the wifeless bosom—brings no return for the childless home.
It is a remarkable fact that the uuproductiveness of soil and
species arises from similarity of cause. Some lands are
the produce of vitiated strata that yields an offspring as
unhealthy as Itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of
minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value
by being too early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some
soils, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others
are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the
want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Mark the ana-
logy! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he
springs. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine-
rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early,
and avertasks it too late. Man, by unwholesome contact can also in-
fect his fame ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can
render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance
of his organization and difildencoin his powers. Nor does the analogy
cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have been
recently se entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul-
ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from
stone itself; and, in like manner. Sterility in the human race is now
removable through the profound- discoveries in physic which enlighten
tke present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been
produced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove
Sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS
AND CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith• street, Soho-square,
London, and bears the title of " MANHOOD: The Causes of its
Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for' its Perfect Re-
storation ;" and is sent by W. STRANGE, bookseller, 21, Pater-
noster-row, London, post-paid, in a sealed envelope, by Initial or to
any address, for 2s. 6d. in postage stamps, secure from observation.
