THE GUARDIAN GAS BILL,

The Parliamentary committi

appeared for the promoters, gave a history of the corn
panies from 1834, and their bringing down the price o
the commodity from 15s. per 1000 cubic feet to 4s. 6d.
to which it was reduced in 1845. A further supply wa-
required, for which further capital had to be raised, and
he contended that a new company alone could supply it
to suit the, means of the poor. The Guardian Company
proposed to do this by means of a capital of £330,000 at
71 per cent. dividend, and at 3s. Bel. per 1000 cubic feet.
He said the clauses of the Act of the Dale-street Company
were exceedingly objectionable. Witnesses were then
called, on that and the following day, including Mr. Reay,
secretary to the Guardian Society, Mr. Macdonald, secre-
tary to the Guardian Gas Company, Mr. Councilor Par-
ker, Mr. Cox, the Company's engineer, and others.
Thursday Mr. W. Herapath, the chemist and lectur

a saving of 25 per cent.. in using a material hitherto
thrown away. Mr. S. Glegg deposed to the saving to
artisans by using gas in place of candles, and the superior
light. Mr. Cox has proposed plans to light Liverpool of
which he (witness) entirely approved. The works of the
proposed company were to be on that plan. It would be
desirable that one company should provide the whole of
the gas required for the town. • Other witnesses talked of
the advantages of Mr. Cox's plan in melting iron, &c.,
and said the expense of the coal would be covered by the

The Duke of WELLINGTON called the attention of the
house to the importance of a direct railway from Dover to
London, and moved that the North Kent, the Stroud to
Maidstone, and the Mid-Kent and direct Tunbridge lines,
should be referred to the Railway Commissioners.
After some observations from Lord BROUGHAM, the
notion was agreed to.

The ordinary routine of Court life in town has been lit-

Prince have been taking their usual out-door exercise ;
and on Thursday evening, the Queen, the Prince, and
suite, honoured her Majesty's Theatre with their presence.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert left Buckingham Palace
for Claremont, on Friday, where they will remain until
to-day. Yesterday, the anniversary of our Sovereign's
birth-day, will be publicly kept on Thursday, 'when the
Queen will hold a drawing room for its celebration. On
Monday, the 31st, it is understood that the Court will
remove to Windsor for the purpose of spending the Ascot
race week there, during which a succession of visitors will
be received liy her Majesty at the castle.

PUBLIC NUISANCES

TO TUR EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL; 8

-- nut tuni, ound foolish," appears to be the motto
adopted by the Town Council of Liverpool ; they issue strict
orders that no cigar smoking be allowed on the Pierheads,
because one or two of their fair friends affect to dislike the
smell of tobacco, and pronounce the custom a public nuisance,
and if this is really a nuisance, pray Mr. Editor what term can
wit use sufficiently expressive of the dust we experience in Lord-
street, and to-day in particular, five days out of six, and to
check which there is no exertion whatever made by the council.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 22,

Since our last report we have had less excitement in the trade
than for some time past, still during the early part of the week
we experienced a steady and extensive demand for Wheat and
Flour, both for local consumption and transmission to distant
markets in the interior; subsequently the inquiry became less
active, and as the present high rates cause buyers to act with
the utmost caution, purchases were effected on somewhat lower
terms.

At Liverpool and Wakefield, yesterday, there was less inch-
'nation for business, and prices were the turn in favour of the
buyer.

to-day we have but a moderate attendance ; the trade is ex-
ceedingly slow for every article, and in, partial instances some
concession is made to influence sales, but where this occurs the
reduction is so slight as not to warrant any alteration in our
quotations, and we therefore repeat those of last week for every
article.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 21.
Sugar.—The demand continued good till within the last two
days, since when, owing to the dull accounts from London, the
advance obtained at the heginningof the week has been barely
supported. The sales are 400 hhds. 8.P., 5000 bags Bengal and
1800 bags Mauritius.—Foreign.—There has been more inquiry
for export, and about 250 cases Brazil have changed hands,
from 38s. to 425. for brown Pernambuco; also 600 boxes yellow
Havanna, with 100 hhds. Cuba Muscovado and 1000 bags low
brown China, at the previous value.
Molasses.—lmporters meet the market eely ; the sales this
week amount to nearly 1000 casks casks, viz. Antigua ordinary
.at 21s. 6d. and good new at 235. 6d., Demerara at 215., and
Nevis and St. Kitt's at 20s. 6d. per cwt. ; the quotations are
reduced accordingly.

Coffee.—The sites of Jamaica are under 20 casks ; 1000 bags
fine ordinary native Ceylon and 1300 bags new Laguayra have
been taken by the Trade at the quotations.
No sales of Cocoa, Ginger, Pepper, or Pimento.
Rice.-1100 tces. Carolina sold at 25s 6d to 27s 6d, and 1500
bags Bengal at 22s per cwt. ; also 8000 bags Bengal, to arrive,
at 21s per cwt. _ _ _

Runi continues in request, the sales being being 500 puns.,
chiefly Demerara, 9 to 39 per ceni. 0.P., at 3s 5d to 4s. Bd.,
with a few Jamaica at 4s to 4s 4d per gallon, establishing an
advance on last week's prices of fully 3d per gallon.

be attended with the privilege of applying for an amended
bill next session. No parties will be bound by the award,
ex necessitate ; but as an expedient to shirk the labour of
a tedious, disagreeable, and lengthened investigation, it
does credit to the ingenuity of the honourable member
who suggested it. Never was a committee so completely
bothered, and, principally, too, by their own act, in con-
-1 cases of opposition out of their
rtain amiable weaknesslin the hon.

t season and out of season, sometimes
.rs in a chorus that would confound all

Wesbiainster-hall.

The estimate of £30,000 may seem a large one;
but it must be borne in mind that, even should the
promoters succeed in buying off the parties now
arbitrating with them in the Commons Committee,
they have a further contest before them in the
Lords. The inhabitants of Wigan demur to the
clause granted to meet their case, which is found
to be most injurious to various manufactories and
other property situated upon the river Douglas;
and a fierce opposition in the Lords is being got

successful one too, unless some more adequate
pnvision for the want of that town be provided,
than is given by the clause in question.
We feel thoroughly satisfied that the issue of
the project, whether carried through both houses
or not, must be a grievous disappointment to the
lic—a waste both of time and money, and at
same time a prolongation of an admitted evil,
the deficiency of water for cleansing and other
