ALDION PLATE GLASS COMPANY.—The new Albion
Plate Glass Company seems to promise well. The de-
mand for plate glass much exceeds the supply, and,
therefore, there is every reason to believe that those who
seek to meet with that demand will profit from the state
of the market. The relation of a few facts will serve to
show what the present state of that market is. The
amount of duty on plate glass, which was entirely remit-
ted in 1845, averaged from 35 to 40 per cent. on the
cost. Since that remission, the reduction in price to the
consumer has not averaged more than 15 per cent., and
at this price the demand far exceeds supply. These facts
are clearly proved by statistical tables, and the difference
between 35 per cent. (taking it at the lowest), and 15 per
cent. will show the probable profits of the new company;
. .

and this merelyca.lculatingupon the remissioa ofd uty,with•
out takingintoaccount the extra profits on capital to be re•

alised froin greater economy of -manufacture consequent
upon the freedom from the restraints of the Excise laws,
which rendered an extravagant process of making plate
glass indispensable ; because, it being necessary to suit
the processes of manufacture to the convenience of the
Excise officers, it was impossible to practise economy.
The new company will be released from the inquisitorial
supervision of the Excise, and therefore their works will
be constructed with a view solely to economy of material,
consequently the difference between 15 and 30 per cent.
will form but a small item in their profits.

BURKE'S HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY OP
ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND. TWO VOLE.--
This valuable work is ut length completed, and after a
careful examination, from time to time, of its merits, we
have no hesitation in saying that, from its general accu-
racy, and the vast care bestowed upon its compilation
and printing, it will be productive of much and lasting
credit, both to editors and publisher, A work of this
kind is of a national value. Its utility is not merely
temporary, but it will exist and be acknowledged as long
as the families whose names and genealogiesare recorded
in it continue to form an integral portion of the English
constitution. As a correct record of descent, no family
should be without it, inasmuch as the information it con-
veys relative to collateral as well as lineal genealogy,
may prove absolutely requisite to establish claims to
rank or property, which so commonly, in the absence of
a lick in the historical evidence, fail to be granted ; and
from its national character, no library, public or private,
can fail to procure W—Morning Past.
EFFECTUAL REMEDY FOR PERPETUAL LIFTING
OF STREET-PIPES, &c.--A sub-way or tunnel, in con-
nexion with the sewers, wherein the pipes could be
laid, and afterwards examined and repaired, without
breaking up the road, would seem to be too costly to be
expedient. We have little doubt, however, that in the
long run, money would be saved to the community by
such a course.—The Builder.
