THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, DEC. 10, 1859.

Fifteen years ago there appeared across the
counter of a west end publisher a book of eastern
travel, entitled " then." During these fifteen
years, upon the credit of that one brilliant work,
the writer of it has been in the enjoyment deser-
vedly of a high and expanding literary reputation.
ALEXANDER KINGLAKE'S name if (he never wrote
anything else) would be preserved in the recollec-
tion of the lettered public of after times by tho vivid
power, colouring, and vitalising of that single book
of Oriental reminiscences. In connection with
" Eilthen " his popularity as an observant traveller
will survive not merely with that of his own imme-
diate contemporaries—delightful volumes, let us
say, like ROBERT CURZON'S "Monasteries of the
Levant," or ELIOT WARBURTON'S " Crescent and
the Cross,"—but with the fair fame even of men
like BELZONI and HUMBOLDT, like LAYARD and
LIVINGSTONE. Among the literary announcements
for the present season, we observe the intimation
of a new work from the hand of this accom-
plished writer (the second work he will have
given to the public) as immediately forth-
coming. Wishing this production every possi-
ble success—wishing it, in fact, a success
worthy of the distinguished position won for him
by the radiant pages of " Eathen," we must tarn
to Mr. KIGLAKE'S more recently-acquired politi-
cal reputation with yet greater complacency than
to his ripened and securely-established repute as a
man of letters.

It is but two • years or three back that
Mr. KINGLAKE entered the House of Com-
mons for the first time. Ile entered it then, of
course, not in the early dawn of youth, but at the
meridian vigour of manhood, with his convictions
strong within him, his opinions formed, his judg-
ment clear and energetic. It is to this we may
attribute his rapid seizure of a distinct position
among-the more thoroughly independent of our po-
pular representatives. Without any extraordinary
capacity as a debater, without any peculiar gifts of
oratory, without any of those rare powers of sarcasm
which make a popular speaker feared, without
any of that fervid eloquence which can take even
a House of Commons by storm, and kindle en-
thusiasm among the most apathetic and super- ,
cilious—Mr. KINGLAKE has already, in the course
of these few sessions, taken not only a recognizable
but a conspicuous place among the more outspoken
and energetic champions of Liberalism in the lower
House of Parliament. It is, in some respects, the
very position which Mr. LAYARD might have taken
had he so pleased—but did not. There is more
firmness of purpose, more resolution, more con-
sistency about the political sentiments of the author
of "Eothen," than about the more impulsive and
erratic unveiler of the buried wonders of Nineveh.
Hence, Mr. Lai alto has prematurely fallen into
" the sere and yellow leaf"—has been banished to

the limbo of Parliamentary extinction—has been

given the go-by relentlessly, pitilessly by an indig-
nant, almost we had said a disgusted and outraged,
constituency. And meanwhile, Mr. KINGLAKE,
though taking part, comparatively speaking, but
very rarely in debate, has so opportunely timed
his speeches and motions during the past few
sessions that he has obtained for himself, as we have
said, a position completely individualised, and as we
have said eminently characteristic. Inasmuch that
whenever the hon. gentleman speaks he is tolerably
secure of an audience. His reported speeches,
whether delivered in the House of Commons or out
of the House of Commons, are looked to and read
by large masses of the population. There is
something kindred in his independence and out-
speaking, we cannot but think, to the independence
and out-speaking of an older and vateran champion
of liberalism in the House, meaning, of course, the
hon. and learned gentleman the member for Shef-
field. But that the member for Bridgewater
wears his own helmet and carries his
own lance into the lists, prepared to
splinter the latter upon occasion with any or
every antagonist, we might almost have dubbed
him Mr. ROEBUCK'S Esquire or Fidus Achates.
Here, however, are two RICHARDS in the field ; and
though the elder may deal a more ponderous blow
whenever he is fairly put to it—the younger seems
hardly less ready of fence, and is animated by as
bold a prowess and as stubborn a resolution.

Not the least striking among the extra Parlia-
mentary speeches delivered during the past few
years by Mr. KINGLAKE, was the one recently re-
ported in our columns as having been delivered by
the hon. gentleman only a few nights previously, in
the Town-hall at Bridgewater. In this speech
it will doubtless have been remarked that Mr.
KINGLIKE took occasion to recall to recollec-
tion the share he himself had had in regard to the
settlement of the question as to whether England
should or should not take part in the Congress now
upon the eve of assembling in Paris for the solu-
tion of the long discussed problem of Italian inde-
pendence. The reference thus made amounted, we
cannot but think, to nothing less deeply interest-
ing than the epitome of a remarkable little histo-
rical incident—an incident of such importance in its
bearing, and one so attractive at this moment in
itself in every particular, that we cannot resist the
temptation to allow Mr. KINGLAKE himself here to
recapitulate it :—" Ila the month of August last,"
said he, " there was a question as to the assem-
bling of a Congress, and as my hon. colleague has
just told you, we are now receiving the intelli-
gence that a Congress is in point of fact about
to meet in Paris; A member of the House of
Commons, Lord ELCHO, was of opinion that the
Government ought not, under any circum-
stances, to go into a Congress. The Government,
on the contrary, was, I thought, somewhat too
anxious to hurry into a Congress without stipu-
lating for proper conditions. When Lord Elcho
brought forward his motion, which if carried would
have had the effect of absolutely preventing the
Ministers from going into a Congress, they were
anxious to meet him with a direct negative, and
the result of that would have been that they would
have got the opinion of the House of Commons
in favour of their going into a Congress in, as I
thought, a somewhat heedless manner. I therefore
took the liberty of moving what is called the pre-
vious question—the meaning of which is, that I
asked the House of Commons not to decide either
for Lord ELCHO or for the Government, but to
leave the responsibility of determining the ques-
tion of a Congress upon the shoulders of the Minis-
ters. And, gentlemen, lam happy to say that I
succeeded in carrying the previous question. I
supported the motion by urging it upon her
MAJESTY'S Ministers that it was
.their bounden
duty to refuse to go into Congress, until they
should obtain a distinct stipulation that no
extraneous force should be used in Italy in order
to put down the free Governments which had
been formed in that country. I saw with
great delight that when Lord JOHN RUSSELL,
Minister for Foreign Affairs, addressed an as-
sembly in the town of Aberdeen he was able to say
that Ministers had arrived exactly at that conclu-
sion. He there told the assembled people that'
although England would probably be persuaded to
go into a Congress, she never would be persuaded
to go into a Congress except upon the distinct un-
derstanding that force should not be applied in order
to put down the free people of Italy. I rejoice in
being able to state that for the course I then took
in the House of Commons I have received the thanks
of one of the best and truest patriots Italy ever pos-
sessed, I have received from Italy, I rejoice to say
the thanks of General GARIBALDI." Mr. KING-
LAKE'S subsequent remarks in that speech at
Bridgewater, in allusion successively to the French
People, to the French Army, and to the French
EMPEROR, will, we have but little doubt, live
yet more vividly even than the above in
the popular recollection. They were, none of
them, remarks that could possibly be regarded,
even by that people, by that army, or by that
EMPEROR, as in any way offensive. They were,
on the contrary, rather complimentary. "It has
happened to me," said Mr. KINGLAKE before
giving utterance to one of these remarks—
" It has happened to me, I think I may say, to
know something of the people of France; to
know something of the army of France; and to
know a little, mostly, of course, by reading, and
partly by a little personal acquaintance in old
times, of the Emperor of the FRENCH." And,
therefore, as one qualified to pronounce an opinion
he gives us his estimate of each. Of the French
people he says, " Upon the whole I believe the mass
of the population of France are an industrious and
peaceful people." Of tho French army he says, " I
have seen them in almost all situations you can see
troops, and I think I can undertake to say, what-
ever the Zouaves and crack regiments may be, that
a more harmless and inoffensive body of men
than the troops of the line is hardly to be
found perhaps anywhere in Europe," Finally, as
to the French EMPEROR, lie says—" The French
EMPEROR was a guest in this country ; he has a
friendly feeling towards England ; he has always
been a friendly ally to this country, and at pre-
sent he has no quarrel with us." But, believing
all this to be the absolute truth, to be the literal
fact, Mr. KINGLIKE remembers also that there is
this powerful and despotic EMPEROR with an
army of 600,000 men—at the head su-
premely and absolutely of 37,000,000 of peo-
ple. He recalls to mind that " The Emperor
of the French not only commands all the armies of
France, not only commands the navy of France,
but he has the power of marching almost the whole
of the commercial navy of France—marching them
like soldiers, to serve in the military navy of the
country ; and we all know, also, that he has suc-
ceeded in inventing a financial system which enables
him to borrow the earnings of the country, and to
raise almost any amount of money at a very short
notice, and without the intervention of the ordi-
nary capitalists who used to be employed for pur-
poses of that sort." Therefore, he says, "It comes
to this—that you have sitting, as it were, in his
library, a thoughtful man who is in the habit of

THE SUN, LONDON!

keeping his own counsel—a man who pores over'
books relating to battles and wars. I recollect he
told me once that he was engaged• in writing a
history of all the battles that had ever been fought.
There he sits alone in his library, surrounded by
books of this description, surrounded by plans and
designs of all contrivances which human inge-
nuity has invented to destroy human life, and
commanding at the same time the resources of
which I have endeavoured to give you some con-
ception:" The moral to be drawn from all which is
surely obvious ! It is visible indeed in our new
Channel Fleet, and in our fast multiplying corps of
Rifle Volunteers. There can assuredly be no offence
to Princes—[in .whom Holy Writ itself tells us to
put no trust]—if we, under existing circumstances,
take as our guide the old Covenanter's maxim—
" Put your trust in GOD, and keep your powder
dry !"

We direct the notice of our readers to the report
of a deputation which waited on Lord Palmerston
yesterday, from the parishes of Marylebone and
Paddington. The subject to which they called the
attention of the Premier was one of some public
interest, though not of political importance. It re-
ferred to the removal of the trees and shrubs from
Hyde-park. Mr. SODEN, from Marylebone, stated
the case with clearness. Ho said that under the
Chief Commissionership of Sir BENJAMIN HALL,
now Lord LLANOVER, great improvements had
been made in Hyde-park by laying down new
walks and planting shrubs and flowers, which
afforded much gratification to the frequenters of
the Park. To the general surprise and dissatisfaction
all these plants had been'removed from the walks.
He considered this a loss to the public, and the
deputation appealed to his lordship to order the
restoration of what had been so unnecessarily re-
moved. It appears from the statement of Professor
MARKS, of Marylebone, that a sum of £l,OOO was
granted by the House of Commons, in 1857, and a
further sum of £350 for making new roads and
planting new walks in the parks ; and Sir B. HALI„
then First Commissioner of Works, carried out the
project with energy and success. The approval of
Her MAJESTY was practically testified ; for, on
learning from Sir B. HALL that there was a diffi-
culty in obtaining trees for planting, she imme-
diately assigned a large portion of land near Kew
Palace to be used as a mirsery. The shrubs
were duly planted, but it appears that
some unreasonable objections were raised
by some inhabitants of Park-lane, who imagined
that they would obstruct their view. They applied
to Sir V. HALL to remove the trees, but he pro-
perly refused the application. The attempt was
renewed under the Chief Commissionership of
Lord JOHN MANNERS, who also refused to sacrifice
the public to the whims of a few. It was feared,
however, by the members of the deputation that
owing to the illness of the present Chief Commis-
sioner the administration of the office had been
induced to comply with the unreasonable request.
It was stated by Lord PALMERSTON that the report
of the Office of Works denied that what had been

done was iu consequence of any representa-
tions but owing to some alterations in
the method of planting: He admitted, however,
that it was the first he had heard of the subject,
and announced his intention of inquiring into it.
The reasons given by the Board of Works seem
very insufficient, and we trust that the matter
may immediately be looked into. It is very desi-
rable that these places of popular resort may be
made as attractive as possible ; and it is unpar-
donable trifling with the public money to inter-
fere unnecessarily with the arrangements made at
considerable outlay. The case in question affords
another proof of the ill effects of the continual
changes in the chief offices. We have before ex-
pressed our opinion that the head of the Board
of Works should not be removed at every :Minis-
terial crisis. Plans of public importance are set on
foot by one Commissioner, to be laid aside or con-
troverted by his successor. Public or private in-
terest, difference of opinion, or other influences,
may affect him, and interfere with the developement
of projects which have received the public sanction.
Until some alteration be made in this matter we can
scarcely hope to see our public works carried on in
a manner befitting this great metropolis. So far
as the case in question is concerned, we hope the
interference of the Premier will be immediately
perceptible, and that we shall hear no more of these
unlooked for, and unnecessary alterations.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has
been staying during the past week at Knowsley, on a visit
to the Earl and Countess of Derby. The circle invited`to
meet his Royal Highness comprised—their Serene High-
nesses Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar, the
Earl of Malmesbury, the Earl of Wilton and Lady Katherine
Grey Egerton, the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield and
Lady Evelyn Stanhope, the Earl and Lady Constance
Grosvenor, Lord Otho Fitzgerald, Lord Loughborough,
Hon. Algernon and Lady Blanche Egerton, Mr. G. Russell;
and Col. Tyrwhitt, in waiting on the Duke of Cambridge.
The Earl of Derby, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge,
Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Earl of Wilton, and
the other gentlemen of the party, enjoyed the sport of
shooting on Wednesday, when about 1,300, head of game
fell to their guns. On the next day there was another
battue.

Their Imperial Highnesses the Duke of Leuch-
tenberg and Prince Eugene Romanoffsky, attended by
Gen. Rehbinder and their preceptors, have removed from
Claridge's Hotel, Upper Brook-street, to the Bedford Hotel,
Brighton.
The honorary degree of LL.D. is about to be con-
ferred by the Dublin University upon Sir Hugh M. Cairns,
Q.C., and Sir J. Emerson Tennent. Mr. Whiteside is said
to be also included in the list, with Capt. M'Clintock, R.N.,
and Sir John Lawrence.
In connection with the rise in the St. Petersburg
exchange a rumour is circulated that Messrs. Rothschild
have purchased from the Russian Government of tho Peters-
burg and Moscow, aailway.
EAST RETFORD. PROPOSED ARSENAL. We
hear, upon what we deem to be good authority, that the
Government have it in contemplation to form and establish
an arsenal at or near Retford, on a somewhat extensive
scale, which, if carried out, connot fail to be of great utility
to the town and neighbourhood. The place is one of the
most central in the kingdom, and situate at the confluence
of two lines of railways, the one stretching from the Irish
Channel to the German Ocean, the other from the far north
to the extreme south of the kingdom.— NottinghanfJournal.
GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY LITERARY SOCIETY.
—A very elegant room of large dimensions in the London
terminus at the Paddington station has been decorated for
the convenience and amusement of the clerks and other
officials of the Great Western Company, as a place of meet-
ing, where reading, music, and conversation may be enjoyed
after the labours of the day. This new society has been
got up under the immediate patronage.of the Earl of Shel-
burne, the directors, and principal officers. The inaugura-
tion was honoured by an exhibition of works of art, science,
and nature, sent by gentlemen interested in the undertak-
ing. The walls were covered with pictures by Landseer,
Webster, Goodall, and other admired modern masters.
Around the sides on the floor were tables placed, on which
were curiosities of various kinds, amidst which were arranged
flowering plants of rarity and beauty, and in the centre of
the room on a raised platform, was the solid gold bedstead
richly ornamented in the Eastern style, which was the last
present from the Rajah of Cashmere to the Queen of Eng-
land. A coiarer3azione was held on Wednesday evening,
when Miss Laura Baxter and Miss Clara Fraser sang very
effectively, and were ably accompanied by Mr. Fabius Nunn
on the pianoforte. Two soirees have also been given, when
the beauties of the room, with its interesting and varied
contents were displayed to the best advantage by a full at-
tendance of well dressed company. The use of the library,
as well as of the room itself, is intended to be devoted en-
tirely to the Great Western Railway officials, and is
another instance of the liberal solicitude for the innocent
recreation and intellectual culture which has on several
occasions been manifested by the chairman and directors of
this railway company towards the numerous persons in
their employ.
SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE Stww.—The Smith-
field Club cattle show closed last evening at 10 o'clock, and
although the number of visitors who visited the show
during the day by no means equalled any one of its thrce,
previous days, it was quite on an average in point of num-
bers with the last day of any preceding show. An im-
pression has got abroad that the present will be the last
year of the show being held at the Baker-street Bazaar ;

PARIS, FRIDAY,

The Marquis de Moustier will leave Paris for
Vienna probably to-morrow. Some journals have
stated M. Tafel would leave France on a special
mission for Italy ; but nothing is known of such a
mission in the diplomatic world.
We are told that the Cabinet of Vienna, when
inviting the Powers to meet in Congress, sent at the
same time a memorandum which explains on what
terms the Austrian Cabinet would despatch Envoys
to the Congress. The main object of this memoran-
dum, I am told, was to protest against the nomina-
tion of M. Buoncompagni as pro-Regent of Central
Italy.

The agitation at present prevailing in Hungary
suggests to the Siecle some considerations which
are not without interest. The writer explains in
the following terms the causes of the movement
which has set in so strongly :—" Four important ,
circumstances contribute to embitter the feeling of
Hungary at the want of franchises and liberty to
which she is at present condemned. As we have
already said, she has not been conquered. Of Aus-
tria, properly so called, and of Hungary, if one was
compelled to conquer the other, nature and force
would be in favour of the latter. Hungary has
constantly aided the power which now op-
presses her as an indefatigable arm assists the
head. The Hungarian, in his oppression, enume-
rates all the services which he has rendered to
Austria since the time of Ferdinand 1., all the battles
in which he has shed his blood, all the sieges which
he has maintained for the House of Hapsburg, and
all the gold which he has given to it. He has fought
for Austria against the Turks, the Poles, the Rus-
sians, and the Germans, and against Prussia, Italy,
and France. He saved her under Maria-Theresa,
and has on several other occasions relieved her from
embarrassments of various kinds. History proves
the fact ! The second circumstance which renders
the mourning of the Hungarians deeper is their
superiority. A weak nation must support what it
cannot overcome, but with 10, 12, or 14 millions of
souls, it becomes a force which must be taken into
account. The third circumstance, of which we have
spoken,arises from the little time which has elapsed
since the fall of Hungarian liberties and from their
very antiquity. ' I was free during centuries,'
Hungary still says, ' and it is only during a few
years that I have not been so. The confiscation
of those liberties is evidently only an unfortu-
tunate incident in my history: I was not born to
obey ; I have commanded, and until yesterday have
been free. What reasons are there to prevent my
again becoming so ? Are there any treaties against
me ? Is there any historical condemnation ? No ;
the chance of war has done the whole.' The fourth
circumstance which swells the heart of Hungary,
arises from the recent triumph of Italy. If the
Hungarians had been told that the Italians would
have been free before them, they would not have
believed it. They remember what took place at the
Diet of Presburg, by which the revolution of Hun-
gary was preceded. Hungary was then the hope
and the beacon of the nations subjected to the
Austrian sceptre."

alighted from his carriage in front of the Church of
St. Rosalia. M. Maniscalchi was accompanied by
his young wife and his two children. At the
moment he was about to enter the church he was
stabbed by an assassin. The dagger entered deeply
into the lower part of the back, and the shock was
so violent that M. Maniscalchi, in order to avoid
falling, was forced to lean on the arm of his
wife. The wounded man, however, was able to
turn round and obtain a view of the assassin.
The latter is a man who does not appear to
belong to the operative classes. He was dressed
with a certain elegance, and wore a watch chain.
M. Maniscalchi had sufficient strength to withdraw
the dagger from his back and to pursue the assas-
sin. His coachman and a police agent followed
him, but the wounded man was soon compelled to
stop, and the assassin escaped. A search was made
in every direction, but without success. It is be-
lieved that the assassin relied on the aid of accom-
plices to save him from detection. It is hoped that
the director's wound, although dangerous, is not
mortal. It was feared that an insurrection might
be the consequence of this attack, but Palermo re-
mained perfectly tranquil. The city, nevertheless,
has been placed in a state of siege. It was re-
ported at Naples on the 3d inst. that the Director
of Customs at Messina had been similarly attacked."

DESTRUCTION OF THE TREES AND
SHRUBS IN TILE PARKS.

DEPUTATION TO LORD PALMERSTON.

Yesterday deputations from the parishes of Mary-
lebon e and Paddington waited upon Lord Palmerston
at his residence in Piccadilly, for the purpose of
calling his lordship's attention to the wholesale de-
struction of plants in Hyde-park, and to urge his
lordship to exercise his authority to put a stop to
the same.

Mr. SODEN said the public considered a great
wrong had been perpetrated towards them. Under
the chief commissionershin of Sir B. Hall, now
Lord Llanover, great improvements had been
made in Hyde-park by laying down new walks
and planting shrubs, mixed with flowers, and the
public were greatly gratified with the result.
They were now, however, astonished and annoyed
to find that the whole of these shrubs and flowers
bad been removed from the walks between the
Marble Arch and Stanhope-gate, and iu the Green-
park, between the entrances at Hyde-park-corner
and Devonshire-house. They appealed to his lord-
ship to order the restoration of what had been, as
they considered, wantonly destroyed.
Professor MARKS said the entire metropolitan
public took a deep interest in the matter, because a
feeling prevailed that the rights of the working
classes had been sacrificed to the selfishness of a
class, between whom and the labouring population
good-will should prevail. In 1857 the House of
Commons granted £l,OOO, and the further sum of
£350 for making new roads and planting walks in
Hyde-park, and then the first commissioner ear-
nestly carried out the work. That such improve-
ment had the approval of the Queen was evident,
as when Sir B. Hall mentioned to her Majesty that
he desired to plant trees but could not get a supply,
the Queen unhesitatingly assigned to him for that
purpose a large portion of land near Kew Palace to
be used as a nursery. The shrubs were duly
planted, but had, it appeared, become an eyesore to
some of the inhabitants of Park-lane, who ima-
gined that they would obstruct their view. Sir
B. Hall was applied to remove the trees, but re-
fused. The same attempt was made with Lord
John Manners, with the like result : but he feared,
in consequence of the illness of the present Chief
Commissioner, the administration of the office
had been induced to comply with this unreason-
able request. Mr. Mann's proposal to plant the
present vacant place with flowers in the spring
was evidently an afterthought, and contrary to
taste. He urged his lordship, as a popular minister,
not to suffer the working classes to go to the wall.
Lord PALMERSTON said he had just received a
report from the Office of Works, in which it was
denied that what had been done had been in con-
sequence of any representation from persons in
Park-lane, but that the borders of the walks referred
to were intended as a nursery. That what had been
done was to take away some shrubs which did not
flourish very well, and next year it was intended
to put flowers. Plants that flowered in spring and
summer would not stand the winter, and there was
a difficulty. He certainly, however, thought that
stripping the ground entirely of shrubs and flowers
was not desirable.
Mr. DICKENSON said since Sir B. Hall had left
office the shrubs had been shamefully neglected.
He said this as a visitor to the park daily. Another
wrong was the removal of the seats placed in the
park for the convenience of the public when Sir B.
Hall was chief commissioner, which were only re-
placed after strong public remonstrance.
Lord PALMERSTON remarked that he had heard
of the subject for the first time from the deputation.
He would, however, make it his business to inquire
into it, and see what was best to be done.

THE METROPOLITAN GAS QUESTION.

Yesterday /a deputation from the Metropolitan
gas companies waited upon the President of the
Board of Trade and the Home Secretary, to give
explanations in reply to the statements of the com-
mittee of delegates, and to put the Government in
possession of the grounds upon which they resisted
the demands of the consumers. Alderman Salo-
mons, M.P., Mr. F. Russell, M.P., and Mr. S.
Butler, M.P., attended the deputation by invita-
tion.

Mr. BURKE, of the Imperial Gas Light Com-
pany, stated the case to the President of the Board
of Trade, expressing on the part of the companies
a desire simply to place the Government in pos-
session of the facts of the case, and then to leave it
in their hands to deal with it as they might think
fit. The object of the delegates was, as far as he
could infer, to induce the Government to take up
the bill of which they had given notice, in order
that they might relieve themselves from
the expense of conducting it, and if legislation
was to take place, those he represented would con-
sider the matter better in the hands of the Govern-
ment than in the hands of those gentlemen who
were promoting the bill. It was not only inconve-
nient, but fraught with considerable danger that
consumers should themselves originate a bill to alter
Acts of Parliament on the faith of which indivi-
duals had embarked their capital. Gas companies
when they possessed a monopoly had held it with
the concurrence of the vestries, and it was an ad-
vantage to the consumer, because it enabled the
company to supply the gas at a cheaper rate than
they would be able to do, if put to the expense of
competition. Where competition existed the com-
plaint of extravagant charge was just; but where
it did not exist, the price was as low as it possibly
could be, and if the consumers succeeded in creat-
ing competition the result would be that gas com-
panies would have to increase their price. The
delegates had talked about the excessive exactions
of the unrestrained monopoly of gas companies, but
he would maintain that every public lamp was paid
for at too low a rate. With regard to the illumi-
nating power, the Post-office had expressed satis-
faction with the supply, and he did not hear any
complaints from other quarters. The bill prepared
by the delegates was of such a nature that the com-
panies could not assent to it, but if the Government
thought legislation necessary, they had every con-
fidence that they would be treated with justice and
fairness.

Mr. HAMMACK, Chairman of the Ratcliff Com-
pany, said that company had charged only 4s. 6d.
for their gas, though they had the monopoly of the
supply, and were entitled by Act of Parliament to
charge ss.
Mr. M. GIBSON said ha had listened with atten-
tion to the statement of Mr. Burke, but it was ne-
cessary to digest the matter, so much had been said
on both sides, before a decision had been come to.
It should receive the fullest consideration, and no
decision would be come to without due attention
being given to the interests of both parties.
The deputation, having thanked the right hon.
gentleman, proceeded to the Home-office, where
they were received by the Right Hon. Sir George
Cornewall Lewis.

Mr. BURKE having recapitulated the points of
his previous address,
Sir G. LEWIS asked whether the companies dis-
puted the alleged analogy between this case and
that of the water supply, which was regulated by
the Government.

Mr. BURKE denied that there was any analogy
between the two cases. The water questicn was a
sanitary question which the Government took in
hand in consequence of public complaints respecting
the supply, and there was also this difference, that
when competition between the water companies
ceased the price of the supply was raised.
Sir G.l.Ewis asked whether the companies ob-
jected to the principle that there should be a fixed
maximum charge, and whether it was denied that
the quality of their gas was bad ?
Mr. BURKE said the vestries were seeking not
only to limit the charge but to increase the illu-
minating power. He denied that the present price
was too high or the quality bad, and remarked that
if the grievances of which the vestries complained
had really exisited they had an opportunity of
stating their caw last session, when the City Gas
Bill was before the house. The illuminating power
was fixed by act of Parliament in 1854, and the
companies contended that they had supplied up to
that standard. With regard to the question of
monopoly, the company he represented and several
others had always enjoyed a monopoly, but they
were all subject to the Gas Consolidation Act, and
the limitation of the dividend to 10 per cent.
afforded sufficient protection for the consumer. The
average dividends did not exceed 5 per cent., and
no one company reached the maximum. Companies
were not established for the purpose of competition ;
" districting" was recommended by Sir Robert Peel,
and the acts of the Chartered, Imperial, and Rat-
cliff Companies were granted on the understanding
that there should be no interference with the dis-
tricts occupied by other companies, so that Parlia-
ment had legislated on the principle of districting.
Sir G. LEWIS said—Perhaps if there were a
general rule of Government, it was that they did not
interfere in local legislation—they have abstained
from using their influence one way or another; and
even private bills are discussed in the house, which
when not very often the case, it was generally with
reluctance and a good deal of reserve that they took
part in the discussion. No doubt there was some-
thing peculiar in the state of the metropolis, arising
from the absence of the necessary funds and other
causes, which prevented them from stating their
case fairly before committees ; but he thought that
what had been stated showed that if there was to be
any litigious action, the only course would be to
appoint another select committee of inquiry, or the
parties could be heard before a private bill com-
mittee. The question had not arrived at such a
stage as would justify Government in interfering
in an Authoritative manner by seeking to influence .

one side. or the other ; but if it should appear
any intermediate arrangement could be come to, he
should have no objection to ask the opposite party
—those who represented the consumers—whther
they would be willing to
beesake any proposal to the
companies, which would omething less than they.
contended for in their bill; and if such proposal
were. placed in the hands of the Government !or
their consideration, they would have no obje.ctlon
that
to communicate it to the companies for their opinion
upon it. He threw out this suggestion. If -.q Ns:e.t.a
a course which they thought might bob osslbility
lead to any result, he should have no eci. to
communicate again with the gentlemen who waited
upon him last week. But if they were disposed °,
stand upon their rights, and enter upon a war oi
select committees, he had nothing to do but to let
matters take their course.
Mr. BURKE thanked the right hon. gentleman or
his suggestion, which he intimated would be aceeptea
by the companies.
The deputation then withdrew.......
