REsCUED.-At about o'clock yesterday
morning, Officers Burnham and Charlton of
the city police, came across the PROSTATE form
of a man, in nautical attire, who, to all ap-
pearances seemed dead. He was lying in an
open wood shed, having been overtaken by
the cold and its benumbing influences, and
had quietly folded his arms on his breast, laying
himself down to die. 1t was some time be-
fore he could be restored to consciousness, and
the probability is, that had it not have been
for the humane exertions of the police, the
man must have persisted. Upon his revival
he gave such information as led to the discov-
cry of another exhausted and perishing COM
rade, who was found leaning against fence
bewildersd and stupifed. Rum was the pri-
mary agent of these suferings.
The men were sailors belonging to an En-
lish vessel now in port.

To the Editor of the Press:
The articles in the argus and Press of yes
terday, as to the results of the meeting of the
Committee of the City Council and the Com
mittee of the Directors of the Gas Company
are not altogether correct. The City Council
have no authority to regulate the price Of gas
charged by the company to its private consum.
ers. 1t is only as to the price to the city, fol
its public buildings and street lamps, that the
city have any authority. The price that cti-
zens have to pay has to be left to the tender
mercies of the corporation. They can reduce
or raise at their pleasure. The facts that have
transpired in the investigation of affairs ofthe
company by the committee, show that since
the organization of the company, they have
paid dividends to the stockholders, and the
city taxes, which for the year 1865, amounted
to a dividend of 10 S0-100 per cent, and have
accumulated a surplus of $4,000, which has
been carried to the construction account, &c.
1t further appears that the difference in the
cost of coal between 1854 and 1855, is $4,000
less in 1865 than in 1854. aaaa
The consumption of gas in 1865. was 2s,-
100000 feet. OF this amount the city for its
street lamps used 100000 feet. The Gas
Company propose to reduce the price of gas to
1910 to the city and citizens alike, the enor-
NOUS deduction of S, 400 year from the prof
its of the company. The Committee of the
City Council had official statements from
eighteen cities, in which the average price of
gas the last year was, to these cities, $2,7S;
and to the citizens $3.50. And in all these
cities there were only two places in which the
city, for its streets lamps, was not furnished at
less price than to private consumers. In
view of these facts, and the great reduction in
the cost Of coal, the committee believed that
with safety and profit to the company, that the
price could be reduced to the city to $500 for
street lamps, and to consumers to $3.50, max
ing the sum Of reduction to the city $500,
and to consumers of $12,250; total reduction
$15,750, against saving on coal alone of $780,
600. 4,s-
The Gas Company say that if they reduce
to the city to $500 per thousand feet, they
shall have to charge consumers $500. How
much the reduction to the city of $500 on
3,500,000l feet can effect the price of 25,50O,-
600 feet to consumers, the public can judge.
The only matter in controversy between the
city and the Gas Company, is as to the price
the city shall pay for its street lamps, and the
saving in this respect is so much lightened of
the burthen of taxation. -1lLf
If the Gas company can make the people
believe that the high price of gas in this city
Compared with other places) is in consequence
of the demand of the city Tor its reduction,
and not in consequence of the grasping extor-
ton which the company manifest towards the
city and citizens, the full report of the COM
mittee, which will be made at the next meet
ing Of the City Council, will do something to
enlighten them. A SToCKHoLDER.
