To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.

St ft,— I think it my duty to inform you that Mrs. Clough,
ife of Mr. John Clough, a respectable farmer of A cklimi,yrithin

four miles of this place, had been suffering, from Dropsy-for five
years, and had had the best medical advice without receiving

with such surprising lienefit that, in fact, she has now given
them up, being so well and quite able to attend to her house-
hold duties as formerly, which she never expected to do again.
I had almost forgotten to state that she was given up by the
Faculty as incurable. When she used to get up in the morning
it was impossible to discover a feature in her face, being in Such
a fearful•state: This cure is entirely by the Use of your medi-
cines.-1 am, Sir, yours, Sze. &c:,

This Company is formed to seeure a better supply of Gas
within the Borough of Liverpool, and on lower terms than that

charged by the existing Companies.
The Public of Liverpool will be aware that a Company under
the same title, and consisting chiefly of the same individuals,

view to securing an Act fOr Incorporating' such Company to
carry out the same objects. It is only necessary here to state,
that while that Company had, in their Bill of 1845,' fixed
maximum price of 45. per 1000 cubic feet, against a then selling
price by the existing Companies of es.—reduced by them to
55. almost of the moment of the meeting of Parliament—the
Parliamentary Committee, after bearing the evidence of this
Company, and also that of the existing Companies, boupd the
existing Companies, on their own offer, to reduce their price to
4s. 6d., notwithstanding that the evidence previously oir-

were selling. as at a "ruinous
and. that no price less than

Guardian Gas Company were in no way consenting parties to
such a settlement of the question, since its obvious result must
be, and has been, to perpetuate a higher price of Gas to the
community of Liverpool than would produce a fair dividend
on the ready needful amount of capital. •
One of the existing Companies proceeds to Parliament in the
present Session for power to raise additional capital, and also
to borrow money on the security of their works to meet the
increasing demand for Gas; but it must be remembered, that
for every pound so raised or boiTowed, the community of Li-
verpool, as consumers of Gas, will have to pay a high dividend,
which thus bids fa
to become a tax in

The object of thii Company is to furnish Gas to the commu
pity at a priee which will enable every householder, of whatever
degree in life, to use it; and having received thbest engineer-

ink advice, they proceed for a price not exceeding as. an. per
1000 cubic feet, against the sum of 4s. fid. now charged by the
existing Companies ; the dividend on capital not to exceed 7
per cent. As the consumption increases beyond the limited
quantity now estimated by them, the price of Gas will be shit
further reduced.
It may be also stated, that from the great increase of late
years in the population of Liverpool, an increase far beyond
that of anv other town in the kindom within a similar space

of time,—there 114 ample room fora third Company, without
in any way interfering with the fair interests of the existing
