THE CORPORATION FINANCES.

Mr. FRICKER then moved a resolution that, hav-
ing regard to the fact that at Christmas next the
corporation would cease to enjoy a large revenue
(£40,000 per annum), derivable from the Finsbury
estate, by reason of the lapsing of the leases, it be
referred to the Coal and Corn and Finance Com-
mittee to consider whether the expenses of the ad-
ministration of the law in the courts of justice and
the cost of pauper lunatics should n .t be defrayed
from some other source than the City's cash.
The proposition was opposed by Mr. Lawley,
Deputy Jones, Mr. R. N. Philipps, and other mem-
bers, upon the ground that it was an endeavour to
support the introduction of a county rate by a side
wind, and it was eventually negatived.

THE SULTAN'S VISIT TO THE CITY.

A letter was read from Mr. Luntley, the artist,
stating that he had painted a portrait of the Sultan,

THE GAS QUESTION.

Mr. E. D. ROGERS presented a petition from dele-
gates representing several parishes in the metropolis
relative to the supply of gas. The object in view was
to ask the corporation to contribute to a fund that
was being raised to enable them to go to Parliament,
and endeavour to break up the monopoly of the dif-
ferent gas companies by whom they were supplied.
The petition was referred to the Special Gas
Committee to consider and report.

COUNTRY WORK HOUSES.

The Earl of DEVON moved for letters relative to pro-
vincial workhouses, two especially, ono addressed to Dr.
Edward Smith, and dated 16th August, 1866, and another,
the report of that gentleman relative to the inspection of
48 workhouses, and dated 15th April, 1867. Ile was in-
duced to apply for two reasons ; one was that it would be
highly beneficial to the public that these letters should be
produced ; and, secondly, he wished that their lordships
and the public should have given them the opportunity
of knowing the duties of the different persons engaged in
workhouses. The importance of such a knowledge
would be appreciated when it was taken into con-
sideration, that there were 663 unions in
England and Wales. The noble earl then eulogised the
conduct of the inspectors of the Poor Law Board, and fur-
ther said that for the proper supervision of the internal
arrangement of workhouses, there was a visiting com-
mittee, the members of which ought to visit each work-
house once in a month; and in addition there was a
district inspector, who ought to visit each workhouse
once in six months. But he was sorry to say that the
visiting committee did not carefully carry out their duties;
and, though the Poor Law Board had showed always their
willingness to co-operate with the guardians of work-
houses, still there wero some other guardians over whom
they ought to have further power. At present the Poor
Law Board had no power to order any furniture
or to employ medical aid. The Poor Law Board occupied
an uncertain position. This being the want of power of
the Poor Law Board, he was anxious to call attention to
what that board had lately done. There was ono point
he wished particularly to allude to, that was nursing. In
1856 and 1857 this system had been particularly impressed
upon the Inspector of Infirmaries.
The Archbishop of YORK thought that the failure of
the system was in some measure attributable to the fact
that our workhouses are hospitals without being con-
ducted upon the known principles of hospital manage-
=ant.

The Earl of CARNARVON believed the system was
full of defects, and that Parliament would willingly con-
sent to enlarge the powers of the Poor-law Board.
Lord HOUGHTON urged that in any new legislation
the interests of the ratepayers should not be lost sight of.
The house adjourned at a quarter-past 6 o'clock until
Monday next.

IMPERIAL CONTINENTAL GAS.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held on Wednesday at the London Tavern ; Mr.
B. Attwood in the chair.

The Secretary (Mr. Jackson) read the report, from
which it appeared that the business of the company
during the past six months had continued to increase.
The total gas made had been 1,608 million cubic
feet, whereas in the corresponding period of
1866 it had been 1,493 million. The total
number of lights in June last was 659,699 ;
and in June, 1866, 644,134. Notwithstanding
the reductions in the charge for gas which had been
made at various stations, the Board recommended a
continuance of the dividend of £2 10s. per share,
together with a bonus of £1 per share.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the proprietors on their con-
tinued prosperity, in spite of the many difficulties
with which the company had to contend.
Mr. S. A. BECK, Governor of the Chartered Gas
Company, complained that the company retained
in hand upwards of a million of money, which re-
presented profits.
Mr. WILMOT KNIGHT said the million of money
to which Mr. Beck had referred, prima facie be-
longed to and should be distributed among the
shareholders, thou,4li up to the present time it had
been held to meet contingencies. Ile suggested, in
order to reconcile all classes of shareholders, that the
Board should promise a distribution of a portion of
that sum at the annual general meeting by way of
capitalising profits, and thus prove, as was the fact,
that the dividend which the company was paying
was an exce..dingly moderate one.
Mr. MICHAEL was also of opinion that profits
should be distributed. According to the accounts it
would appear that £140,000 was made upon a
tal of a million, whereas in truth the sum employed
was twice that amount.
The CHAIRMAN said the difficulties which the
company had encountered at Marseilles, and those
threatened at Toulouse, which might issue in what
was tantamount to a total loss of the company's
plant, were sufficient justification for the course
which the directors pursued. lie could not•promise
that at the annual general meeting, or at any other
specific time, the Board would recommend a distri-
bution ; but the shareholders might rest assured that
whenever the dividend could be increased it would
be done.

duced by Sir Stafford North-cote, the Attorney-
General, and Mr. Cave, should be re-introduced at

THE ABYSSINIAN DEBATE.

Mr. NEWDEGATE called the attention of the house
to the remarks made by the hon. member for Southwark,
in course of the debate ou Abyssinia, in which
he stated that Doctor Beka ha,l accused Mr.
Bassani with having misappropriated public money. The
hon. member said Dr. Belie had written to the Times a
statement in his own defence, but the communication had
not been made public.
Mr. CHILDERS asked whether the hon. gentleman re-
ferred to (Mr. Layard) had baen informed that the subject
was to be brought forward that evening ?*

Mr. NEWa:GATE said he had ;Litton to the bon.
member, but he had received a communication that the
hon. gentleman would not be in town for ten days, and
such being the case, ho did not think that it was right that
the unfounded statements he had made should remain in
circulation ten days without a full denial being given to
them.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH.-STREET.
DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE BURLINGTON
ARCADE.—Charlotte Morton, a well-dressed young
woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with disor-
derly conduct.

Frederick Warner, the beadle of Burlington-
arcade, said that between seven and eight o'clock
the previous evening, the prisoner, who was under
the influence of drink, was walking up and down
the Arcade and making a great noise. He cau-
tioned her, upon which she made use of very bad
language, and as she refused to leave he had to put
her out, and when outside the gate she became so
abusive and made such a diiturbance that several
of the inhabitants came out to complain of her.
Win. Holden, 58 C, specially employed at the
Arcade, proved that the prisoner made use of very
bad language, and said that he had cautioned her
on former occasions.

The prisoner denied that she was drunk or made
use of bad language, and she said that the constable
had never spoken to her before.
Mr. Knox said he did not believe the prisoner,
and he thought it very unlikely that the two officers
would come forward to perjure themselves. ;„He
considered the prisoner's conduct very disgraceful,
and should fine her 40d. or a month.

Charles Alfred Neave, of Essex-road, Islington,
was charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly con-
duct in the Haymarket.
After hearing the evidence of police-constable
Brown, 167 C,
Mr. Knox fined the defendant 20a. or 14 days.

ACCOMMODATION BILLS.

Mr. LUPTON ( Leeds) moved—" That it is desirable
that some means should be devised for imposing
difficulties in the way of negotiating fraudulent
accommodation bills, and that some regulations
should be formed for the purpose of showing the
true character of such bills to those receiving them,
under pain of punishment to the drawers, acceptors,
or issuers, in case of bankruptcy."
Mr. BUTLER (Leeds) seconded the resolution,
which, after some discussion, was referred to the
standing committee.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Parie is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 231. 150. par £1 sterling.
On o Juiparing these rates with the English Hint price el
£1 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, It appears that
gold is near'y 1-:oth per cent. dearor in Paris than in Lon-
don.

rho /ouree of exoha.nge at New York on London for bills
at 0 days' sight is about 100 i per oent. At this rate there
is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

Lord DEVON last evening introduced the subject in

certain papers connefAed with Dr. EDWARD SMITH'S

portunity of explaining the duties and powers of

lately carried on, expressed his sense of their labours
in cordial terms. "No department," said his lord-
ship very truly, " ought to be superior to receiving
useful information, from whatever quarter it might
some ; and he, for one, believed that a department
was under an obligation to those who brought before
it a real grievance, candidly, fairly, and tempe-
rately." It augurs well for the cause of future re-
form if the head of the department will adopt this
view, and throw aside the prejudice an 1 obstinate

IMPERIAL CONTINENTAL GAS.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held on Wednesday at the London Tavern ; Mr.
B. Attwood in the chair.

The Secretary (Mr. Jackson) read the report, from
which it appeared that the business of the company
during the past six months had continued to increase.
The total gas made had been 1,608 million cubic
feet, whereas in the corresponding period of
180 it had been 1,495 million. The total
number of lights in June last was 659,699 ;
and in June, 1866, 644,134. Notwithstanding
the reductions in the charge for gas which had been
made at various stations, the Board recommended a
continuance of the dividend of £2 10s. per share,
together with a bonus of £1 per share.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the proprietors on their con-
tinued prosperity, in spite of the many difficulties
with which the company had to contend.
Mr. S. A. BECK, Governor of the Chartered Gas
Company, complained that the company retained
in hand upwards of a million of money, which re-
presented profits.
Mr. WILMOT KNIGHT said the million of money
to which Mr. Beck had referred, prima facie be-
longed to and should be distributed among the
shareholders, though up to the present time it had
been held to meet contingencies. lie suggested, in
order to reconcile all classes of shareholders, that the
Board should promise a distribution of a portion of
that sum at the annual general meeting by way of
capitalising profits, and thus prove, as was the fact,
that the dividend which the company was paying
was an exceodingly moderate one.
Mr. MICHAEL was also of opinion that profits
should be distributed. According to the accounts it
would appear that £140,000 was made upon a capi-
tal of a million, whereas in truth the sum employed
was twice that amount.

The CHAIRMAN said the difficulties which the
company had encountered at Marseilles, and those
threatened at Toulouse, which might issue in what
was tantamount to a total loss of the company's
plant, were sufficient justification for the course
which the directors pursued. He could not promise
that at the annual general meeting, or at any other
specific time, the Board would recommend a distri-
bution ; but the shareholders might rest assured that
whenever the dividend could be increased it would
be done.

Yesterday morning the delegates of this associa-
tion resumed and concluded their sittings at the

AC C 031310DATION BILLS.

Mr. LUPTON (Leeds) moved—" That it is desirable
that some means should be devised for imposing
difficulties in the way of negotiating fraudulent
accommodation bills, and that some regulations
should be formed for the purpose of showing the
true character of such bills to those receiving them,
under pain of punishment to the drawers, acceptors,
or issuers, in case of bankruptcy."
Mr. BUTLER (Leeds) seconded the resolution,
which, after some discussion, was referred to the
standing committee.

On the motion of the delegate from Newcastle,
it was resolved that the Board of Trade be again
requested to give their attention to establishing a

NEW MEMBER.
Mr. JACOB BRIGHT took the oath and his seat for Man-
chester.

ABYSSINIA.
Lord STANLEY laid on the table papers connected
with the prisoners in Abyssinia.
THE NEW LAW COURTS.
Mr. B. HOPE asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether the Treasury had arrived at any determination
as to the appoint►ueut of architect for the new courts of
justice.

Mr. iwyr said the Tre ►sury had arrived at no deter-
mination on the matter. The judges appointed to decide
on the designs sent iu were of opinion that no one design
came up to the point required, and therefore they did not
select the design of any single architect, but had directed
two of the competing architects to prepare a joint design.
The Treasury were not satisfied with that award, and re-
ferred the matter back to the judges for reconsideration,
but they had sent a communication to the Treasury, stair g
that they adhered to their former decision. Under these
circumstances the Treasury had determined to consult the
Commissioners on the subject. When that had been done
he should be glad to give the hon. member further infor-
mation if ho required it.
COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA.

Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Secretary to the Treasury if
it was true that when the Cunard contract ceased at the
end of the year, no arrangement had been made whereby
the steamers of that Company would call at Queenstown.
Mr. HUNT said he had stated the arrangements that
had been made when the Cunard contract was last before
the house; an arrangement had been made for a continu-
ance of the weekly service for one year, leaving Queens-
town as at present.

R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-Ftreet, has introduced an entirely new descrip-

or ligatures. They eo perieclly re-ernb e the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro it the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay. and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and wilt support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

CHURCH RATES.

Mr. HUBBARD gave notice that on Tuesday next he
should move for leave to introduce a bill on the regulation

THE MERMAID.

Mr. lIEADLAM asked the Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs whether there had been any further corres-
pondence concerning the destruction of the Mermaid, and
whether the Spanish Government proposed to give any
compensation to the owners of that vessel.
Lord STANLEY said some fuller correspondence had
taken place with the Spanish Government, and a sugges-
tion he had made to refer the matter to arbitration had
been accepted.
London, England, 1867-11-29

.ABYSSINIA.

Mr. YOUNG asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs if he had any objection to lay upon the table of the
house the list and name of every merchant ship engaged in
the Abyssinian expedition, with the nett and gross register
tonnage of each ship; also the horse-power of each
engine; also the price per ton each ship was
chartered at ; also the names of each registered
owner of such ship as appeared upon the register when
the ship was tendered to the Government for hire and the
name of each owner as he now stands on the register, with
the name of the broker who tendered such ship; and also
if a member of that House could participate in any of the
profits, directly or indirectly, of that expedition.
Mr. CORRY said ho should have no objection to lay the
return ou the table of the house as far as the Admiralty
could do. Of course no member of that house could enter
into any public contract without, forfeiting his seat._
