The London correspondent of the Manchester Eximin writing on the debate on Mr W. H. Smith', motion in the Htu^e of Commons on Monday night, saygJ. Lord Garlies was scarcely the speaker whom one would expect to hear in the early hours of an impor. tant debate, and the same thing may almost be ?sid I of Mr Osborne Morgan. Not, indeed, that I m? I to put the noble lord and the learued gentleman on i the eame footing in point of ability. All I mean is that a chancery barrister is not exactly where yoa would expect to find him in the forefront of a finan. cial debate. Whether he was led to thrust himself there by the fervour which displayed itself so free* by the animated gesticulation which kept the heai J of hon. members below him in continual danger, and at last eventuated in damage to Mr Serjeant Simon's bat, or whether he was put forward as j sort of bell-wether to entice the advanced Liberal into the Government fold, I don't pretend to Jay All I know is, that he made a rather smart and, to some extent, amusing speech." WELSH INDEPENDENT CHURCH.—We would cail the attention of our Welsh readers to an advertise. i ment in another column of the anniversary of te Welsh Independents, Queen-street, to be held to. morrow (Sunday), and the following day; in Cln. nection with which the recognition of the Rtv. D. Roberta, late of Carnarvon, as minister of the above church, will take place. We understand tbat s rmons will be delivered on the occasion bv some ? of the most eminent ministers of the denomination I amongst whom we may mention the Revs. Professor 1I Morgan, Carmarthen; R. Thomas, Bao-ror ad 1 E. Evans, Carnarvon. Collections will be made It the close of each service towards the funds of chs 1 chapel.—Many will be interested to know that the ft party who, about eighteen months ago, left this ■ church and raised a cause of their own in the I Assembly* Room, in Hope-street, have again reo S united with their friends in the church, wbere they | worshipped together for the first time since the I separation, on Sunday last. We heartily wish them I every success, and sincerely hope they will work 1 together in unison, and all join as one man to 1 support and assist the Rev. Mr Roberts in his Hfe endeavours to carry on the cause in a successful I and honourable manner. H MR HARRISS'S CONCERT.—The excellent pro. I gramme issued for the fifth subscription concert on < Wednesday next, the 10th instaut, ought to secure i the attendance of all the subscribers, as well as to { fill the few remaining vacant seats. The orchestra I is on the most complete sale. The overtures in. I clude the celebrated 11 Z, ubertIöte," allowed to be I the best overture composed by Mozart; and V Bachantinne, by Generali. There are also two f selections from the popular operas Martha and I II Trovatore," and the lovers of classical music will be delighted with the Larghttto movement r from Beethoven's grand symphony in D. The ? choruses are again entrusted to the St. Mir choir, who will, besides, sing two part ongs accompanied. Miss Emily Bancroft, who is, we > understand, a very promising pupil of Mr Harris's, will play Thalberg's difficult arrangement of" Home sweet home." Miss Lydia Needham and Mrs j1 Bradnock, both of the Liverpool concerts, 5l0 several songs and duets, and Mr H. J. NichoiJj will be sure to send his audience home in good spirits, by his singing cf the humorous song, "Bine BearJ." We have seen the plan of the room, 1U as there are very few seats remaining for this ex- cellent concert, we would advise those intending:a be present to secure their seats from the plan ai once to prevent disappointment. THE Nw GAS WORKS.—We have been favoured with an inspection of the plats of the oiffces intetd- ed to be built cn the Salop road, in connection with the gas works. The new building will be V feet in length, and 30 feet high in frout, the facing to be of Staffordshire tiles and bricks, of different colours, and as far as we are able to judge, will present a very pretty appearance. That portion of the building to the rigut of the entrance, willcn is to be ornamented with two lamps, will eoa?bt of I f show room on the ground floor, for the eth?itioa of all descriptions of gas nttings, chaudelim, &c., || in which the gas company have resolved to tt? &??j Over this department is the boardroom, 28 n| inches by 25 feet (the same dimensions as ? M apartment underneath), for the hotdin? of the M various meetings of the directors. The remainder H of the erection will be devoted to Mr Walker, tie ■ manager, for whose accommodation there will b, kitchen, two sitting rooms, a dressing room, caii-' J room, and four bedrooms, and will adjoin the odicc, |. for the transaction of the business of the company. t The building has been designed by J. T. Hail, Esq., the engineer to the company, under wlwW directions and superintendence the new works have been completed. The offices will be close to tal road, but the company are anxious for the tion to meet them half way, and purchase SODl/D or twelve feet of the land in front for a UODJiOi\ amount, in which case the company will set t¡;I erection back to that extent, and put up some hand- some railings, which will have the effect of makwg it really an ornament to the neighbourhood. Itl tenders for the building were opened yesterdij1 and the tender of Mr. Samm-ls accepted. THE GAS COMPANY AND DEPOSITi.-We have received a letter from Mr. Walker, the secretary tO the Gas Company, in reply to one from Fletcher, which appeared in our last issae, deposits—or loans to the company, as he 1f¡J pleased to call them. In his letter Mr. embodies the entire correspondence that has t?" place between Mr. Fletcher and himself (tooW I for us to insert), which shows that in the extent^ I of his duty he has not exceeded either the bo? 1 | of courtesy or law. The secretary wrote M '? 1 i! letcner on te 4th April, stating that in tij??' I of his becoming a consumer of ?3 it f\; necessary that he should pay a deposit of -?-? fill up a form. To this letter Mr. Fletelier,lid 501 reply for nine days, and not till after repeated^ from the Company's servants; and in his repij" declined to comply with the conditions of thl1 ,D' pany with regard to the deposit, or 1 »an," phrases it. Mr. Walker, in his next letter, a to forego the deposit if Mr. Fetcher w?'d  apprond surety. The followmg extract fr? Walker's letter replies to the ?th.r and ? allegations of Mr. Fletcher 1 "Repeated application were made f?'r ?u! :i"? %y letter of the 4th, without rt>r+»ivm"'i! r .???  reply, ?donth. l?thinst.
