GAS, i MEETING OF TILE COUNCIL COMMITTRE, The Council Committee on Gua, Ald. Raw- leigh In the chair, met {n the City Clerk's office yesterdny afternoon to listen to Mr. Billings, e President of the West Division Gus Cum- pany, who hind been Invited to state what he thought about the proposed reductlon in the amoutt of gas now consumed by the ¢ity, und to licar what proposition, if any, ke had to make Yo that end. The Committee took scats, and Mr. Billings began and contlnucd for about half an hour in the samc stralu that he bus herctofore used. If therewas to be any gift-work golng on be- tween the city and the Weat Division Gas Com- any, the ity should, ho thought, be the donor. The tins Company was not making any moncy, and_could not aflord to reduce the price of goy 1o the city and mautain the same standard for the private consumcrs. In the West Divis- fun there -were about 5,000 strect-lamps, about 5,000 private consumers, and more than 100 milés of gunulos, varying In size from b to 22 [uches in diameter. The cnormous streteh of mains and the searcity of consumers rendered business bud, and the 108 of gus by condensa- tlon was something swful. Then, too, the ex- sense of running the works wasuot understood. h wns greater than wis supposed. ‘The Compuny had vnce nide o proposition to the eity, and the document wus on file some- where, offering the works for the elty to ruu as 1t chose for 10 per cent per annu oi the eaplial stock, which wis about 3,000,000, This proposi- tion would stlll hold good should the elty see fit to adopt it. No, e did not think thut the Gas Compuny could reduee {ta prices any. His fea was that the hest means that could’be adopted to deerenac expenses would e to change the burners Jor smaller ones, and not ghut ot half the lamps. ' In con- clusion be would be glad if there wna solne com- petition fn the busincss. Mo thought he could mansge to Tus out any company that should start up. Jo fnvited competitlun, Mr. illings wastold by Ald.Thompson that there wus 1o other way than to reduce the sunount of money spent annuaily by the city for sHluminating purposes, It must done, and it would bedone. To this Mr. Billings made no seply, but havings b his say departed, brof, Ellus Colbert, who had been requested to prepare a time-tuble for tho Hehting wd ex- tinguishing of the stecet-lumips, was then called upon. As introductory to his remarks he called attentfon to o minorily report tade npon the sas-llght subject i the Counell in 1574, by Ald. Meliering and Warren, Ho then prosented the tables which N had recently pres pared by astrouomieal ealeulation, 'The tables hu knew were correct, and they had not been compared with any others. Iie lad shown the times for the rising und setting of the sun for the whule {cnr, und bad ealeufuted that the avernge length of time per night that the fumps wonld have to be it wus ning hours and fifty-thres minutes, without taking fnto cunsideration moonllght. Ile wus sure that his table was correct, widd by 8 comparison with the ol tuble it wonld be s here hulf-hours aud quarter-hours could be saved, He 1 also raade a caleulution, the result of which was for every minute that the strect hunps burnt, [t cost” the eity §2.14, Now the suving of &L14 per minute for hall-an-hour euch day the year around wae no small suving, Prof. Colbert’s assietunce In the motter wi thankfully recetved by the Committee aml wus highly apprecuted. A, Rawlelzh safd that be wua aure that by the adoption of the time-toble the city would save ut. least 850,000 per year, ond he was detlzhted. ‘The matter will by pre- sented at the next meeting of the Council, The resolution directing that one-half of the street lawps only be ligited hereafter (which had been referred to the Comtulttee) wus signed by all exvept Ald. Cullertun, who stoutly oppos- ed it, und the meeting adjourned. TIIE GOSPLL S, LAUNCH OF THE GLAD TIDINGS, The Gospel shlp Glad Tidings, after sundry delaya und postponements, was ually luunched Tast svening tn the presence of about 2,000 peo- ple.

He hoped the vessel would carry glad tidlngs wherever shy went, There was nothing new in the idea of preaching from the deck of o vesscl, fur the Apostles had also preached from the deck of n vessel Just as Capt. Bundy was jrolng to do. Mo referred to the fact that'this buat was being luunched on a Friduy, which day the sallors au- wrstitiously regardid 8a untucky, Friduy hus cn choselt utontlonally s the day for launch- ing thls misslonary vesscl becattse hey coneld- ered the diy not un unlucky but a lueky oue It was the Lord's day, and on it it went from cvarth to 1leaven.

THE CUSTOM-HOUSE, TEMPORARY DELAY IN TUE WONK. Conslderable surprise has been expressed through the clity at the report that work on the new Federal bullding was about tobe suapended, and, in order to ascertain the reason for the stoppage it one had occurred, a reporter yester- doy called on Mr. Buperintendent Burling and learned that it was true that work had beon slackened, and would within a few days be sus- pended almost entirely for somo wecks: Tho reason Is that the fron work, which forms nearly tha whole of the interior of the building, {s not veady, and not even made as yet. The contract for the fron-work for the two lower storics was let to Mr. N. 8. Bouton ond has been entirely flled, the bhullding befng now up to the point where the contract stopped. Another contract for the iron for the two upper storics ahiould of course have been let long ogo; but, as Mr. Burllug _explains, the change in the plan of the roof rendered it nee- ersary to draft new specifications for the lron worl of that part of the bullding, and that took some time, Toe LIds for the work were, how- ever, opened May 80 Just, and the contract wwarded about June 4 to the Amerlean Bridgo Compnny, of this city, It is understood, how- cver, that Mr. Bouton haa a part of thework as asub or joint contractor. The terms of the sereement between the Company and the Gov- ernment provide that the work shall be done andtho tron on the ground by the middle of Julf', or nearly, and Mr, Burling expresses his bellef that hie will be under full ~headway again by that time, Je feels contident thut the struct- |llrc will bo up ready for the roof befure wine 3 LOCAYL LETTERS, M0ODY AND SANKY, o the Editor of The Tribune.

Thero were but three members of the Committeo present yesterday, and the inventor of the Stow pavement, who st forth the advautages of hls cedar blocks. The TFinance Committeo held a consultation yesterday with Cumnptroller Farwell in the oflico of the latter, and decliled that the school- teachers should be paid to-day one month's mlary, the pollce and firemen "Fuesday ona month' anlary, and the employes of the Board of Public Worka Manday four months' salary, It {8 ighly probable that the labarers will by paid in divisions, Noth, South, and West, one day to ench divislon.

They have competed for years very successfuily with the English manufacturers of Manchester, thelr prices being equal, while some specialties, such a8 bluck velvets, are de- clared to be decldedly superior to the English. Thero §s no doubt that their goods, well known by our large importers, will find a good market. i the United States In consequence of the gen- eral appreciatfon they meet with at Phlludel- phia. They have fuvented two new varleties of black velvets, which they call Ozonld velvets and Brolliauf black velvets. They are Loth, with regard to general appearance and beauty of colar, much better than the old black velvet Suld Manchester etyle) hitherto manufactured n England, and sold under the namo of blue- black.™ This Intter articlo searcely hears o com- !mrlmn with the Linden fabrle, “especlally the Dzonfd velvet, which resembles siile-velvet by itaupright velvetecn nap, with adeep, soft glaze. The brillizat black velvet, stmilar in color to the Ozonld, has a somewhut oblique nap anda higher glaze, both analngous to the so-catled English silk -tinfsh.

As to the exhibit of colored velvets, they are remarkable, a5 airendy mentioned, through the varlety and richness of the colors and the purity and delieacy of tho different shades, They con- pete suecesafully with anything which has hith- erto been produced in this specialty.
