Tug LONDON GAS COMPANIES, —Yesterday Vie ad.
journed meetini of deputations from various metropolitan
parishes taLds p'ace at the Marylebone Court-House, to
consider what steps should be taken to counteract the
effects of the recent division of the metropolis into die-
tricts for the purpnsea of gas lighting. Dr. Bachhoffner
took the chair. Mr. Beale, of St. James's, moved a
series of resolutions for the presentation of petitions to
Parliament by each metropolitan vestry and district
boards, to be placed in the hands of the respective metro-
politan members, praying for a committee of inquiry
into the existing arrangements for the supply of gas to
the metropolis, and for fixing the maximum charge, and
calling upon the gas companies to cc-operate in such
appeal to Parliament, and that the representatives of
the various parishes wait upon the Home Secretary to
represent the evils of the monopoly of the gas com-
panies, and to solicit the ai 1 of the Government in pro-
tecting the interests of the ratepayers. It was agreed
that, as most of the deputations present were without
instructions from their respcc ive hoards, the meeting
should be again ajourned, and in the meantime Mr.
Beale's resolutions should be printed and sent to each
vestry and district board as a basis for consideration.
A regulation was also passed requesting every vestry amid
district board of the metropolitan parishes to furnish,
prior to the next meeting, the price of each public light,
the number of feet burned per hour, and whether the.
gas i. of Centel -coal or nct, and its quality as far as
practicable.

MORE SEPOY PLACARDS ! !

The Irish " sepoys" are still actively at work,
and their inventive power in devising ornamental
placards for the walls of the country towns and the
doors of the chapels is iucroasisgly fertile. The
following effusion covered the gate-posts of Carlow
on Thursday, surmounted by a harp, two pikes,
and the figure of an open coffin :
" Mon of Carlow
The time of England's dowafel is near at hand.
• Ireland's awake.
Will you rise up ?
Long live ' Nana Sahib
Down with the English !
Hurrah for Liberty ! God rave the people !"

But the Mitchelsto; n ribbonmen exceed all their
confraternity i❑ the originali►.y arid skill of their
weditious posters. The following placards have ap-
peared iu that place, executed with consi lerable
caligraphic skill, capitaled as well as any printer
could manage words for emphasis' sake, adorned
with numerous notes of exclamation, and done in
red and black ink, the more striking lines being in
the sanguinary hue :

" Men of Mitchelstown,
Glorious News I
Your old and inveterate enemy the Saxon
•
bites the dust of India, 150,000,000 of
Brave sepoys have risen for their freedom.
Now is Iceland's opportunity ;
Let us imitate the example of the brave sepoys
and strike for fre-dom
You have only to unite with gallant Tipperary
and the green flag will soon wave o'er the
G-aulties
Three cheers for old Ireland
Three more for the sepoys
Be silent and steady
And when the time comes be ready."
The second runs as follows :
" India! ! I India ! ! !
Men of Mitcheletown—
The gallant Tipperary Boys
Have responded to the call of the
Glorious sepoys—
To show John Bull that centuries
have not subdued the hatred of
—Erin's brave sons—
For her Saxon oppressors
Three cheers for the bravo sepoys I !
Don't take the bloody Saxon shilling
He who tears this is not an Irishman
Printed by an Irishman who remembers 'the days
of old."'
It is too much to say that these exhibitions of
ribbon "Nana-ism" are rendering Ireland infamous
in the eyes of the intelligent foreig,ners. It is sur-
prising that every Romanist in Ireland, who claims
for himself the status of a man of honour, does not
repudiate with disgust all sympathy with the in.
famous traitors.

Trio CASE OF THE CAGLIARI STEAMER.---A brother of I
one of the unfortunate engineers of the Cagliari, now
imprisoned in a Neapolitan dungeon, writes :—" We
have just heard that the continued and increasirg ill-
treatment which my poor brother has been subjected to
has had such an efleet upon him that he has gone quite
out of his mind. You may judge of the distress this
news has caused us ; but, although every effort has been
used to endeavour to obtain their redress, or to awaken
some interest on the part of the English Government,
we have been hitherto quite unsuccessful. Lord Claren-
don bas been written to twice. To the first letter be
replied that he would give instructions to the consul at
Naples that the English prisoners should be properly
treated. To the second no answer has yet been ro-
ceived.''

THE SUN, LONDON 9 SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER

ISo long as returns are required—a measure of
_....
more than doubtful expediency—they should be
made as complete as possible, and to the latest
possible moment.
The accounts by the Fulton fully corroborate
the vast improvement arising from the suspension
of cash payments in the United States. The
remedy has had a magical effect. No new failures
have been announced, and there is every reason
to suppose that the general business of the country
may be carried on with the worthless rags—
which the different banks are prepared to
offer, and which the public are quite willing to
receive at their nominal values. It would be well
if such were the case on this side of the Atlantic.
We hear not only of the failure of the Liverpool
Borough Bank, with all the annoyance and
inconvenience to its depositors and loss to
shareholders, but also of the consequent stoppage
of many firms previously occupying a high posi-
tion. The difficulties of the Western Bank
of Scotland, at Glasgow, have also cre-
ated great excitement in monetary cir-
cles. The deposits amounted to no less than
6,000,0001. sterling., and there are nearly a
hundred branches and sub-branches. Assistance
has been afforded sufficient to carry it through
its present difficulties ; and it is denied that it has
not been afforded on the condition of winding-
up with all convenient speed. This is one of
the best points of the system of banking in
Scotland, Every other bank hastens to the
rescue, for any stoppage would materially affect
themselves. But first-rate firms are breaking,
and many others must come to the ground, unless
there be a speedy relaxation of the existing re-
strictions. The sooner these relaxations take place
the better. Private traders, or manufacturers, can-
not compete with the East India Company and other
leviathan borrowers. The weakest invariably
go the wall ; but they should not permit them-
selves to be victimised 'without a struggle. If
they go, others who have provoked the tempest
for their own unworthy purposes should share
a similar fate. Those who have sown the storm,
may possibly reap the whirlwind ; and they will
do so, if the crisis be much longer protracted,
and if adequate relief be refused to the interests
now so severely affected.
