Company, and that it be referred to the Lighting and

subject to such modifications of the details as may be
necessary for the protection of the public." He was
going to make an observation or two on the subject then
under the consideration of the Council ; but if they had
—...

Council, i -be useless for him to do so.
The MAY o on, Mr. Higgins.
..

—Before you proceed further, it would
veil to ascertain if we have a Council.

Mr. HODGSON

proposed that the Council, if they did not become the
suppliers of gas, by purchasing the present works, should
insist upon an amalgamation of the companies, as had.
been promised. The sole object was to obtain good gas
at the cheapest rate.
Mr. LACE was against any remuneratiem to the Guard-
ian Gas'Company, as what they had effected was for their
own ends. They could not be serious when they said
they could produce gas at 3s. Bd. lie did not think the
Council should pledge themselves to any particular or
hasty step on the question, .

by a majority of 14 to 13.
Another amendment., by Mr. ROBINSON, resulted in
votes for 15, and against 11; but this was also super-

Several other amendments were submitted,—one of
them by Mr. LACE, to the effect that the Council should
oppose both the gas bills, and that it was important that
both the gas companies should be purchased by the Cor-
poration, and steps taken to that effect ;—but no definite
conclusion was come to.

The TOWN-CLERK, on being questioned as to the state
of the question, said that the report of the Committee of
the Council was negatived, and that the Council, so far,
had resolved to take no part for or against the gas com-
panies._

. -
Mr. HODGSON suggested an adjournment, as he con-
ceived that any precipitancy of decision on so important a
subject would not be satisfactory to themselves or the
public. _ .

The general feeling appeared to be in favour of this
suggestion, and not (as several gentlemen had propoied)
to refer the matter back to the committee for reconside-
ration ; and, by mutual consent, the MAYOR adjourned
the meeting until Friday next, at twelve o'clock.

On Mr. Higgins's amendment, the votes were—

HOUSE OF COMMONS

-THURSDAY

Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN' in moving a resolution, attributing
the evils of Ireland to the non-residence of a portion of
its landowners, and calling for a special assessment for
local purposes, upon the estates of such landowners, en-
tered into a statement amount of the amount of rents
withdrawn from the country, which he calculated
at £4,000,000, or nearly one-third of the entire rental.
His proposal was, that 10 per cent. should be the mi-
nimum absentee tax, to be expended upon the education
of the people, the maintenance of the poor, and other
similar purposes, with a power of increasing the impost
'when 10 per cent. was found insufficient.
Mr. TASTE seconded the motion, and complained that
the great companies of London, had shewn themselves
destitute of all charitable feeling.
Mr. Alderman HUMPHREY observed that, if notice had
been given him of the charge just preferred against the
London Companies, he would have been prepared to show
bow very, fallacious these charges were-
-nies

large possessions in the north of Ireland, and
spent, not one-tenth, but four-fifths of their rents in im-
proving those estates, and in providing for the moral and
religious instruction of the population residing upon them.

rental of £lO,OOO a year in the county of Lontiondprry.

and spent £7,000 a year in supporting 60 schools, and in
the building or repairing of churches and chapels for the
inhabitants. He belonged to a company which had
£7,000 a year in the neighbourhood of Coleraine; and in
the last ten years all the money which had been received
in London did not exceed £3,000, the rest having
been spent in the improvement. of their estates in Ire-
land. If a tax of £lO or £2O per cent. were imposed on
those companies as absentee proprietors, they would pay
that tax, and draw all the rest of their income to Lon-

the landlord class. Some of the owners of the so

VIADUCTS AND OTHER RAILWAY WORK.
THE attention or RAILWAY ENGINEERS, AR-
CHITECTS, and CONTRACTORS, is particularly directed
to the great advantages to be derived from the application of
SEYSSEL ASPHALTS, as the only impervious and permanent
Covering for Arches and Roofs, and Lining of Reservoirs,
Gutters, &c.
The arrangements Of CLARIDGE'S PATENT ASPHALT'? COM-
PANY enable it to execute Works of any extent with the great-
est promptitude.
In order to guard against the use of spurious materials, it is
important that all applications for Works to be executed, he
made direct to this Company ; and as a further protection, it
is suggested that Engineers; Architects, and Contractors should
require a CERTIFICATE from the Company that the proper
description of material has been used.
Information may be obtained as to all Works which hays
been executed by the Company since its establishment in 183 S,
which will prove that the failure of many Works represented
to have been done with the genuine material, has resulted fro=
the substitution of a spurious one.

It merely means that the said harbour shall, as stated, be
" limited and restricted to the purposes connected with
the said railway," and that the harbour and works shall
be, and remain to be, the property of the Crown. This
is a mere fetch, or cajolence. Her Majesty's ships have
free entrance to any port in the kingdom ; few of them
ever go to Holyhead ; and this new clause gives no further
security to the public than the former act. The truth is,
that the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company may,
even under the revised bill, charge their own price, directly
or indirectly, either as port dues or as railway rates.
The matter cannot be disguised, that the bill is a job,

These and similar causes, and also the fact that the vast
majority of our population absent themselves from the
public ordinances of religion on that Holy Day, spending
its sacred hours " in doing their own ways, finding their
own pleasure, and speaking their own words," (Isaiah
lviii. 13), constitute in the opinion of the Committee, a
national sin deserving of national judgment; because—
Firstly, They are public and general violations of that
command of God which says, "Remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy ;" and in 'reference to which our
Church teaches us to pray " that God would incline our
hearts to keep this law."
Secondly, As excluding from the public means of grace,
great-numbers of individuals who are employed in ordi-
nary labour on the Lord's day ;—thus inducing an igno-
rance of the Gospel, and want of that "faith which
cometh by hearing, (Rom. x. 17) ; preventing the infu-
sion of religious principles into the mind where they do
not exist, and tending to destroy them where they do.
Thirdly, As oppressive to men's consciences : because
in such cases it may be said an Irreligious Test is applied
to those who seek for certain employments, and compli-
ance is required with an immoral condition as a qualifica-
tion for such situations ; namely, that of breaking the
Fourth Commandment.

From all tl

considerations in reference to the na-
tional and individual desecration of the Lord's-day in this
land, the Committee conclude that this is one amongst
others of those great National Sins which are now pro-
voking diiine judgments; they would therefore most re-
spectfully, but earnestly, entreat of the Clergy, that they
would specially call attention to this sin from their pulpits
on the day appointed by her Majesty for national humilia-
tion ; and that they would urge upon their congregations
to confes

and mourn before God the prevalence of a sin
so dishonouring to His great name, and involving in its
commission such dreadful consequences to man, being in-
jurious to the body, oppressive to the conscience, and
ruinous to the soul, leading men to forgetfulness and dis-
regard of God's creating power, His redeeming love, of
the outpouring of His Holy Spirit, and of the proniisett

eternal rest ; in a word, in the neglect of the meow o
grace, to an abandonment of the hopes
