The Vanderbilt circular, published in Mondays HE

REDUCTION IN THE PRICE or GAs.-The Man
haitian Gas Light Company give notice that on
and after the first day of October next, an i'm
portant reduction " i'll be made in the price of
gas. This early notice is given so that persons
who desire to introduce gas pipes in their
houses may have an opportunity to make their
contracts with the gas filters, SO as to have the
work done either in May or while the families
are absent in the summer. Gas light will nov
be the cheapest as well as the best light. The
burners In ordinary use now consume three and
half to four feet of gas per hour, which will
cost about one cent, and give as much light as
ten or twelve sperm candles. The public is
pretty well aware of this, and houses with gas
fixtures command much more rent than those
without them. Let the landlords and tenants
both take this hint.
