THE GUARDIAN GAS COMPANY'S BILL.—The unex-
pected intelligence arrived in town on Tuesday, that the
parliamentary committee have decided against the Guard-
ian Gas Bill. The committee made a proposition to the
two existinc, companies to amalgamate, and gave them
until Monday to come to some determination. They
agreed to amalgamate, and, after the first of January
next, to supply the town with gas at the rate of 4s 6d per
1000 cubic fret. The result will be, that gas hereafter
will never be at a hir,h r Hein., ; r • _ _

ended in a few hours in their return. The state of the
poll appears in an advertisement in another column. Mr.

against the parish authorities, the grounds for which he

therefore, little notice was taken.

intention of introducing the Bottle Bill this session.

A deputation from the Manchester Committee for pro-
viding public parks, &c., had an interview with Sir
Robert Peel last week, for the purpose of soliciting a
grant of public money in aid of the subscription raised,
which, munificent as it is in amount, is yet inade-
quate to the wants of the town. Sir Robert urged the
smallnPss of the sum at the disposal of government for
such purposes—namely, £B,OOO, the residue of a grant of
£lO,OOO made in 1840,—and that he could not, "at pre-
sent," ask parliament for a further grant, and offered the
deputation a grant of £3,000 from the present fund, on
condition that a government surveyor be sent down to in-
spect its disposal. and that £30,000 of the sum subscribed
be actually paid up. This sum of £3,000, however, was
so far below the expectations of the committee, that the
deputation found themselves under the necessity of re-
spectfully declining its acceptance, until they had con-
sulted with the body by which they had been deputed to
make the request.

PAVING AND SEWERAGE COMMISSIONERS.-At the
weekly meeting on Thursday, the chairman stated, upon
the application of the Union Bank to have wooden pave-
ment laid down, that all the wooden pavement in Lon-
don was abut to be taken up, and the streets laid with
small square sets ; it was found not to stand the wear
and tear.—lt having been reported that another party
had extended the width of his cellar entrance beyond the
limits allowed, some conversation took place, during
which the Board generally expressed their determination
to punish all who exceeded the legal limits, or disturbed
the pavement without permission. Legal steps were
ordered to be taken against one or two parties for so of-
fending. Mr. Gladstone had heard a complaint, that the
parapet in Mathew-street had been made too wide. He
also stated that, in order to get light into the cellar, of
Mr. Brancker's new warehouse, iron bars had been put
down, but they were placed so far apart that a large foot
could slip down. He thought the surveyors guilty of
great carelessness in permitting this. He next called the
attention of the Board to the number of streets in the
town without names. The chairman was requested to
mention this to the Finance Committee, whose duty it
was to attend to that department. —Ten pounds were
voted to a carter in the employ of the Board, named
'nrkey, whose horse ' f

A HUSBAND'S REWARD.—On Friday. at the police-
court, Peter M'Quin, a respectably-dressed sailor, master
of The Friends. of Liverpool, was brought up for refusing
to maintain his wife, who had consequently become
chargeable to the parish. Mr. Grey, of the parish-office,
put in a preper certificate of marriage between the parties,
and the wife, a tidy-looking young woman, stated that
they were married at Sligo about a year ago ; that he had
then received some money to which she was entitled ; and

ceived her share of the old man's property, and given a
receipt for it as her husband. Mr. Rushton said he con-
sidered that sufficient proof of the marriage was given, and
recommended, if he would not take his wife back and love
and cherish her as he had promited to do, that he should
m .ke an arrangement with the parish. The sailor refused
to do anything of the kind, whereupon Mr. Rushton com-
mitted him for three months to hard labour. He begged
hard to pay a fine, but Mr. Rushton refused to alter the
sentence.

THE ENDOWMENT OF MAYNOOTH

The health of Sir William Follett, which is stated to
have received no material improvement, has caused a re-
vival of the rumour of his retirement from the post of
first lam officer of the Crown. Should this event. happen,
the Solicitor-General would become Attorney-General,
and the claims of Mr. F. Kelly to succeed Sir F. Thesi-
ger would then be broueht before the Prime Minister.
If the state of Sir Wm. Follett's health would have per-
--tted him to take t'

him to do so, and would have beets introduced to a less

ANONYMOUS ATTACK UPON MR. DOLLING

SlR,—There having appeared an anonymous placard
upon the walls of the town, and the parties' motive-6 being
duly appreciated throughout the township of West Derby,
well knowing the mare's nest-bunting of a few dissatisfied
individuals is all vapour, as was the case, confirmed by
the verd ct of a jury in favour of Mr. Dolling, whose
reputation so many malicious efforts have been made to
destroy, under the garb of vindictive subterfuges.
In justice to a deserv; "" I feel it

the clergy, to the io,possibility of "pacifying" Ireland
by concessions to Romanism. He held in his band the
" Laity's Directory" for 179 G, a sort of Roman Catholic
almanac, in which a glowing description was given of the
laying of the first stone of NI aynooth College. The Pope's
bishops for the first time dined with the Lord-Lieutenant,
and all promised loyalty and peace ; but, behold !—al-
most immed-ately after, in 1798, bursts out a rebellion,
in which vast numbers of Protestants perished. He
read the 6` Catholic 0 ,th,"..on that occasion, when each
true Romanist was made tri! swear that he would oppose
all heretics " up to his knees in blood."

one of the newly-appointed honorary overseers, to request
that you will have the kindness to let- this notification
appear in the-Standard, that the public may be informed,
notwithstanding the cowardly attacks made against the
character of Mr. Dolling, that he continues to bold, with
unshaken confidence, the situations of assessor, assistant-

overseer, and treasurer of the township.
I can bear testimony to the rectitude of his conduct,
having known him for many years, which, 1 think, will
be a sufficient answer to all his calumniators ; and I
respectfully assure the ratepayers that the affairs of he

towns in the kingdom, but we cannot enumerate further.

A SCENE IN THE HOUSE.—The occasional levity with
which the House of Commons has reliev, d the dulness of
the late protracted debate, approached a climax on Friday
evening during the temporary absence of the Spaaker,
who usually retires for a few minutes on a long night to
partake of some refreshment. Just before Mr. Law con-
cluded his speech, two oranges were brought in, and
placed on the bench behind him. When he resumed his
seat, Lord Arthur Lennox took one of the oranges, and,
carrying it across the floor, presented it to Mr. Thomas
Duncombe, who was in possessi,n of the house, and pre-
paring to deliver his harangue. This act was itself suffi-
cient to create a hearty laugh during a vacant minute cr
two; but the most boisterous mirth broke forth when
Mr. Duncombe was seen vehemently to squeeze and
suck the orange, and immediately afterwards pitch it
across the table to Sir James Graham, who caught.,it with
the dexterity of a cricket " scout," and held it up, amidst
roars of laughter, with a doubtful air, as if he were asking
himself should he send it back again. Bit Mr. Dun-
combe made a gesture as if he would havelhe right hon.
secretary rekurn it to its owner. "Sir J. Graham, however,
after 'a slight pause, and a benignant smile upon the hon.
member for Finsbury,. deposited the squeezed orange

liation And. is the squeezed orange a symbol of the
price of it?
A Novel. Use FOR RAGS.—The Baron de Bode, in
his travels in Persia, discovered, in the neighbourhood of
Isfahan, some ruins in which the cement, serving to join
the stones, contained rage.

Do we not witness almost daily the removal of some of
the more respectable inhabitants to a more healthy, kca-
lity ? In short, it is a question how the parish-assess-
ments will be hereafter raised or levjrd. Large houses
are gradually becoming untenanted, or altogether disap-
pear, whilst cottage tenements increase in a tenfold ratio.
Thus rate-payers are being diminished, at the same time
that additional claimants for parish relief are increased by
obtaining a settlement in• the manner aforesaid, as resi-
dents of the smaller description-of houses. It therefore
behoves every well-wisher to the prosperity of our "'good
old town" to lend a helping` hand and endeavour to stem
the torrent`which at present threatens to overwhelm us.
I will, with your permission, Mr. Editor, offer a few
'remarks that I consider in some degree a panacea for the
