ON CARONDELET STREET.

In mentioning Jefferson City Gas stock
yesterday, we used an expression which
might have conveyed false impression
to the reader. We did not mean to say
that the works are not in operation now,
for Jefferson City has, for some time, been
lighted with gas-but that they will soon
be completed; that is, that the pipes will
be laid as far as they are required. The
company is already in successful opera
ton, and must realize large profit on its
capital. Hence, this stock can not be
considered Clancy" but must take its
place in the list of regulars"
One contrast between the Carondelet
street of this season and the Carondelet
street oflast season, is the absence ofsome
of those stocks which were favorite objects
of speculation for many months, and which
after many viccissitudes and alterna-
tions of fortune, seem to have been quietly
consigned to the limbo ofdeceased stocks.
Occasionally, some venturesome broker
excites transient -amazement by inquir-
ing for Ship Island, stock which can
now he bought for twenty-five cents
share. But why any one wants it at that
price must forever remain a mystery to all
except the imaginative purchasers.
Petroleum was last week dragged out OF
its coffin by the bears in Calcasieu, who
wanted to make a scarecrow of it for a
day or two, but it was soon laid
away again, and nothing more is heard
Of it. Last year, this stock shot up from
IS to $50 in few weeks, and the buyers
who bought it to hold imagined that
they were going to make their fortunes

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

At meeting of the Chamber, held on Monday
evening" the fifth instant the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, That a committee Of five, consisting 0,
the following named gentlemen, be appointed to ask
subscriptions from the members OF this Chamber
and from real estate owners and others concerned
in the trade of the levee and value of property ad
jacent thereto for the purpose of defrayns counsel
fees and court expenses in the case of -. 7. Bur

by it. One enthusiastic gentleman, who
owned fifty shares, spent large portion
of his time in calculating the probable
income to be derived from them, and
finally satisfied himself that he was worth
about $4,000 per annum. Petroleum
can now be obtained by the inquisitiye
antiquary at about dollar share. The
history Of the celebrated Pneumatic stock
is very similar. It had grand run
for time, and once reached $3.50. 1t
IS now supposed to be worth
about $35 share. Levee and Navigation
have not yet met with so disastrous fate
They never went so high, and conse-
quently, their fall has not been SO great
They are still called at the board by en-
terprising brokers, and are, occasionally,
even bought and sold Many people be-
heve that there is something in them yet
At present there are no ''fancies' in the
market at all comparable with these; but
the Legislature is prolific, the human is
ingenious, and there is no telling what
the winter may bring forth.
Among the topics of conversation in
Carondelet street, yesterday, was the
handsome conduct of the Lottery Com
pany, represented by Mr. Charles
Howard, in the matter Of the French
Bazaar. Mr.. Cavaroc applied to the COM
pany for permission to have lottery or
rattle at the bazaar, and the company not
only consented, but Mr.. Howard sent his
check for 500 to Mr.. Cavaroc, requesting
that the amount might be RENTED to him
in bazaar lottery tickets. AS far as we can
learn the stockholders of the company
universally approve of and commend Mr..
Howard's conduct ~
About the only stock business done in
the street yesterday was in Slaughter
house. OF this stock there were sales as
follows 100 at 24s, 100 at "a. 25 at
"a. and so at "a. State warrants new
were sold at 71s.
The following were the offers and bids
at the Board last night

C. Cavaroc, Esq, President Barbarin Gas Lighting
Company:
SIR-I can not refrain from complmentins you
for the invaluable service YOU have rendered to
families residing in the suburbs of the city, and
more or less every night exposed to accidents re-
sulting from the explosion OF coal oil lamps.
Your generous aid to Messrs. Barbarin Dupas
soon had the effect of removing all apprehensions
for the safety of our families and homesteads.
The gas apparatus put up in my premises, under
the supervision of Mr. Barbarin. works admirably
since four weeks. The light is excellent and it's
great cheapness makes it specially commendable.
In this connection permit me to congratulate you
on your selection of Mr. Cast who superintends the
laying of the pipes. His work is admirably per-
formed.
With the earnest hope that this great improve
ment i'll Lighting will soon BE- known by all, and that
the results of this enterprise will be comnen-
surate with its many fold benefits. / remain,
Very respectfully A. CA>TAING.

DEAR SIR--In answer to your inquiries about the
Barbarin Gas. am pleased to be able to give you
very good report. The apparatus has now been at
work for some days without the slightest mshap
or difficulty. The light is brilliant, and at the

c. Cavaroc, Esq, President Bar5srin Gas Light
Company:
DEAR SrR-Encosed take pleasure in handing
you letter OF Mr.. Michel ID. Gaudet, manager of
the sugar plantation Buena Vista upon which the
Barbarin Gas Light has just been introduced. The
perusal of the same will entirely convince Won of
the perfect success OF said gas in every respect
proving itself fully equal to any other Light in
use.
1t gives lis double pleasure to indorse Mr..
Gaudets statement, not alone from the fact that
Buena Vista is Of the first pieces where this gas
has been tried, but that. considering the
well known competency of said gentleman, his
judgment in such matters deserves the most I'M
plicit confidence and belief.
The desire to do full justice TO the exceuency of
the Barbariu Gas, has prompted to thus express
ourselves.
Very respectfully
