GEoRGETowN. Jafv 8. 1853.

dEoRGETowN, July 3. 1853.
What has become of the Gas Company. of
which much was said some months ago, and to
which the Corporation granted the exclusive
right of the streets for fifteen years? Probably
it has been swallowed up b that most impor-
tant, and, at the present time, popular i'm
provement, the Metropolitan Railroad. IF so
would it not be well for those who started it to
notify the dear people accordingly, 80 that they
may require their legislators to raise the en-
barge which has been laid upon our streets,
that the Washington Company may continue
their works into our town, and give US light,
that we may no longer be left to grope our way
along the streets at night, through Egyptian
darkness, to the great danger of life and limb.
and to wend our way to our stores and work.
shops to attend to that portion of business
which is done at night by the light of dan
gerous pine oil lamp, or tallow candle.
Since writing the above we have learned
that some six or eight thousand dollars of the
stock has been subscribed by our citizens, and
that capitalists in Phiadel phia have agreed
70 subscribe two-thirds of the whole amount.
Ii this be true, we presume it is upon the con-
dition, that the exclusive privilege is granted
them for fifteen years, to construct, and keep
in repair lat their own prices,) all the works
necessary for manufacturing the gas, and dis
tributing of it through the town. Thus we
shall be compelled at last to submit to all the
evils of a monopoly, controlled chiefly by non
residents. We have plan to suggest here
after for supplying the town with gas, which.
we think, would be far preferable to having
it furnished either by the Washington or
Georgetown companies, provided the Corpora
ton will take the matter into their own hands
A lucky insurance company is the Potomac,
in this place. 1t has not lost by fires during
the last three years over 81 300. 1t has lust
declared q semi annual dividend of 13l per
cent. 81 of which was carried to the surplus
fund and the remaining paid to the stock
holders
1t is estimated by competent Judges that the
increase since the last general assessment of
taxable property (in the shape of newly-erect-
ed buildings) in our town, will not fall far
short of half million of dollars -
There is but little doing in the -four and
grain markets at this time. The former is
held at S4.624 S4.75. and few extra brands
at S4,87t. One or two small lots of new red
wheat has arrived which were taken by our
millers at 81. 10 cents
The -four inspection, for the quarter ending
June 80, 1853, by Mr. George Shoemaker,
a1 fo
1850 half barrels of do and 95 barrels of
rye -four.
We would suggest to our Town Councils the
propriety of passing Immediately an ordi-
nance requiring one of the police officers to
reside permanently in the eastern part of our
city, so that some of the downright nuisances,
which persons living in that section have to
submit to. may be to some extent abated.

THE undersigned most respectfully calls
Il the attention of the Citizens of Washing

that he has recently procured set of FOUNTS
from the North, for manufacturing Soda
Water.
These Soda Water Founts have decided
advantage over those which are now used
generally, as they are not made of copper.
but of a composition that is as pure as glass :;
consequently the water cannot become i'm
pregnated from the metal
There are in use now in New York over
three hundred.
