kenhead Commissioners, s(
the Dock Committee, that Cominitt

s Chairman of
e bound to see

that he was treated with proper respect. The Chairman
had stated it would be unwise for the Dock Committee to
take the initiative in making alterations in the landing
stage, but it appeared to him that the initiative was now
taken by the parties who introduced the clause into the
bill, namely, the Birkenhead Commissioners ; and it was
desirable that as the Dock Committee were about to go to
Parliament, they should make some amicable arrange-
ment with the Commissioners.

Some further discussion followed, during which Mr.
Moong again denied that he bad charged Mr. Aikin
with a perversion. The proceedings of the Ferry Com-
mittee were eventually confirmed.

GAM)! AN HOUSES are generally built upon the prin-
ciple of a thorough draught—that is, of obtaining, not
avoiding a thorough draught. Opposite a dobr, window,
passage, or gateway, there is usually another door, win-
dow, passage, or gateway ; and by these means you con-
tinually find yourself in the centre of a strong current of
air. it does not matter in the warm seasons of the year;
but in the winter, or other cold windy months, and more
particularly in Rhenish Prussia, it is -dreadful. In addi-
tion to this, the doors and windows do not fit close, so
that you may sit and roast your body close to your stove,
with a draught cutting your ankles off, from a long gap
underneath the door, and another draught cutting your
throat from the sides and chinks of the window-frame.
We have sat at dinner on a cold windy day in winter,
in a room like an oven, but with our feet as cold as
ice, from the wind of a great stone ball below, that had a
wide staircase opposite the front door (continually open-
ing), the head of which staircase was directly facing the
dining-room door, the said door not touching the floor by
at least half an inch all along. As there are no carpets or
other impediments to the wind, we had it " fresh and

the method of warming the rooms in winter by the Ger-
Ger-
man stove is detestable. You are either matte hot to suf-
focation, the horrid thing becoming red hot, or it does not
give ont half enough heat, and is often the only warm
thing iu the room. If the stove was light and warm, we
were never able to convince any host or ho,tess of any
house, public or private, that this fact was MI the princi-
pal consideration, and that it was the person occupying
the room who ought chiefly to he considered—it was whe-
ther he was warm or cold—that was the point ; the stove
being warm was, in itself, little or nothing to the purpose
—the stove was not lit to warm itself only. It was of no
use; they sthiled, or to
