MANCHESTER WATER WORKS. MANCHESTER, luxe 17. 11:rwl Health beiv!ne recommended a imp ply of water for London, obtained by suffice drainage final Begshot Heath, on the model - of imilar works In Lancashire, it may be interesting to the readers of the Awes, to learn some particulars of the !pr een referred to in this county. Of the venous Menem he ambit the towns of Lancashire with wake, Ibe a in coarse of formation by the of iiseibester, from designs laid down ry e rl e r i . it r i F. Beleosa, C. 8., sad approved by parlia ment, are perhaps the most worthy of notke both from the magnitude of the undertaking aad tae sec etas which is likely to attend the enterprise. The present supply of water to Manchester, col lected at Gorton, a few miss east of the town, by a private company, does not exceed two-and-a-half mil lion gallons per day, which for a population of 400,000 people, is six gallons per day to each indi vidual, and the company are stated to be capable of supplying only double this quality at the utmost, whereas it has been calculated that fairly to supply the population, the teseselse, wombats's, and °Manse the sewers, 30 gallops per head would be required. Owing to the present insufficient quantity the mains are only charged with water for a few hours in the course of each day, and besides the in convenience of not having a supply at all times, a great evil results in a unitary point of view to the poor, who from the want of necessary ve sse l s to store a sufficient quantity for use, are unable to pay so much attention to cleanliness as they otherwise would. To remedy the deficiency the corporation are now going to gathering grounds, a distance of nineteen miles from Manchester, to collect the water flowing a a district of 19,000 acres of bill and moorland. To prevent opposition from the private company now serviog the town they have bought the whole of the present works, and from the new source of supply they calculate upon increasing the average daily quantity at their disposal to forty million gallons. It is now the custom in Lancashire (says the report, by the General Board of Health, on the water supply to the metropolis, a copy of which is given in the Daily News of the 3i inst.), where the value of pure soft water, for the pur pose of manufactures, is highly appreciated, to collect the surface drainage of • lugs extent of high, barren. soil, and then to distribute it at will. The higher ground is selected for the double reason that the distribution Is more easily effected, and that the nearer to the actual rainfall the water is collected, the freer it will bon from adventitious impurities. The practice in Liam shire has been to take some elevated ground, generally ste rile moorland, or sandy heath, and to run • catch•water trench cr conduit round the hill, midway, or as high up as may be convenient for the sake of fall, regard being had to the space of gathering ground. An embankment is then thriwn across some natural gorge, at the nearest poiat at which a reservoir may be formed, without the forme of excavation. lute this the rain-water is led and stored, to be media doe and print werkelor for other manufacturing par- poses. hails, in reanylinstanese been previously fi ltered. This extract is so far applicable to the new Man che' er Water Works scheme as to serve as a general description. The plan adopted by the Manchester corporation is to go up the vale of the river Etherow, nearly to its source, on the summit of the mountain ous rang* of hills separating Lancashire and Yorkshire, and there colhct both the sur face drainage which falls into the River Etherow, and the numerous brooks and springy which flow from the aides of these hills, and ,'ore them for use in a chain of immense reservoirs, from whence their contents can be brought to Manchester at will. The wa•er is almost unexceptionable as to quality, being soft, and free from impurities, to a degree but rarely met with. The River Etherow forms the boundary between Cheshire and Derbyshire for roue miles from near its source, and the deep vale through which it flows rising 19 miles cut of Man chester, leads in the direction of Stockport, six I miles south of Manchester. It has been necessary for the corporation therefore after collecting as muds water as is necessary for their use over the first five I or six miles of the vale, to divert ir from the vale and bring it into Lancashire by means of a tunnel, under the bills at Mottram, which, form the boundaries of Cheshire and Lancashire, an d from thence to Tetlow Fold, Godley, hoe) which place it is' conveyed to Dalton and thence to Manchester. The whole chain of reservoirs may be placed in the following order. lst. The Woodhead reservoir, 2. The Tonide Reservoir. 3. The Rhodes Wood Reservoir. These are all on the River Etherow. 4. The Armfield Reservoir s and, 5. The Hollingworth Reservoir. These are situate at Tintwi)tle. 6. The Tetluw Fold Reservoir, at Godley. 7. The Denton Reservoir. The five reservoirs first named extend over a distance of more than six miles, and tae water is brought in an open water-course cr conduit along this chain of reservoirs, of which the New River into London may give some ides. This conduit over a coniidemble portion of the distance, however, has to be lined with stone, owirg to the soil wanting sufficient tenacity to be eepended upon. The conduit conducts the water, in fact, to the eastern mouth of the tunneL The tunnel is of six feet diameter, lined with stone. and is 2,100 yards in length. From Godley, which is within nine miles of Manchester, the water is conveyed in cast iron pipes of four feet diameter to Denton, three and a half miles nearer Manchester ; and Irom thence to Manchester by cut-iron pipes of a rather smaller size. The first point on the Vale of Etherow where it his been found practicable to construct a reservoir, is at Woodheed, only a few hundred yards below the bride where the Manchester and Sheffield Railway, after alertieg the Derbyshire side of the vale for five or six miles, crosses the river to the Cheshire side and is then loot in the great sun mit tunnel which conducts it into Yorkshire. The elevation of this district, known as the Penine range, is from 1,100 to 2,000 feet above the level of the sea ; and the rain fall has been estimated at GO inches. The valley of Etherow is well suited to the formation of reservoirs on the principle pointed out by the Board of Health. From the point where the railway enters the Rood head tunnel, at the top of the vale, two lofty ranges of hills, one on the Derbyshire side and the other on the Cheshire side, stretch away westward, leaving a valley between them so narrow that, in many plat*s it does not exceed a hundred yards in width at the bottom, and is rarely a quarter of a mile across. The sides cf the vale rise in barely accessi ble slopes—often in steep, rugged, and precipitous surfaces—to a height of 600 or 800 feet. The rail war is carried along the southern, or Derbyshire side, and skirts the hills midway; whilst at a similar ele vation on the northern, or Cheshire side, is the old turnpike-road from Manchester to Sheffield. The eye, whilst traversing this singularly picturesque valley, rests upon alternate patches of pastare, meadow, wood, and moor land. The river Ethe row itself is like a silken or silver thread spread out in devious twists and turns along the bottom of the narrow vale. Here and there along the sides of the hills are seen dark and deep ravines, from which rush small pellucid streams to mingle with the waters of the river. It is easy to conceive how much nature has done here of herself towards the' formation of a reservoir. The two sides and bottom are there, without a yard of excavation necessary; throw two barriers OkrOMI at convenient diatoms and the work is accomplished. Such, in fact, is the Wood head reservoir of the Manchester Corporation Waterworks, now nearly completed. At the upper end d the vale a stone barrier, or residuum, wall, 120 yards in length, and rather more than 20 feet high, with sluices and gates to let in or shut out the water, is built across. From this point the vale winds round from east to south-west, and at a dis tance of a mile and a half below, the other embank anent is thrown up, which completes the reservoir. To allow for the rapid fall of the ground, however, the lower embankment hu to be carried to a height of 90 feet ; and ea the pressure of water spinet it at all times will be very considerable, great care has to he exercised that it may be sufficiently strong. To this end the base of it is 1 58 yards in thick ets', and the top of it narrows to 20 yards. The site of this embankment is happily chosen, is some rie= d. thosgh the foundstkm - is not all that could be At some distant ago a land slip from the seithern side, of immense magnitude, has nearly disked up the vale, leaving room for the river burly d i scharge teelf through a narrow gorge at the bottom. The length etas embankment at its bass is therefore only 15 yards, whilst at the top it spreads to a width of 180 yards. When the waters of the little river Etherow s hall have been backed up and amminalated till the space indicated between the two embankments is full, there will be a magnifi- ' cent lake varying from 20 to 90 feat deep, containing 180,000,000 cubic feet of water, and coming as area of 130 sores of ground. Besides the waters of the Etherow to fill this reservoir, however, and several small streams Bowieg from ravines in the sides of the vale, there is a considerable flow on the northern aide of it from Hoyden Brook. This is near the upper sad, and as the Hayden Brook come. through a deep vale between the Cheshire Hills, it has been neoreeery to throw a re siduum wall across it, like that across the upper portico of the Etherow. At the upper end of this reservoir, on the northern side, commences the conduit which is to convey the water required to Slasehaster. Oa the other side of this, as of all the other reservoire, there is a conduit intended to carry off the surplus and discoloured water, which may be brought down the river in floods after heavy rains, so that it may run to waste. The corporation will have it in its power, therefore, by closing the sluice,, to shut out the water of th e s t reams fading the reservoirs at all times when necessary, both from the reservoirs themselves and from the Manchester conduit, allowing the water to back op against the residuum walla till it reaches the waste conduit. To fully comprehend the difficul ties which the engineer has had to encounter it may be isometry to state that there are numerous water privileges along the Etherow, which have had to be preserved. From a few miles further down the river, all the way to Stockport, numerous cotton, paper, print, and dye works have been established at differ ent periods, all dependent on the water of the river for existence ; and the owners of these have been naturally anxious to prevent such a diver sion of the stream as would be a hindrance to their industry. They, however, under any except rue cir cumstances, require only a portion of the water in the day, and that which now flows down during the night runs to waste, and may be as well cooped up in the reservoirs of the water-works as not. Their rights and privileges have been of too much importance to be left is doubt, notwithstanding, and the corpora tion having become by act of parliament the conservators of all the waters of the vale of the Etherow, are under compulsion to allow a certain flow either from the natural sources of the river, or from their reservoirs, to prevent the millowners sus taining damage. To facilitate this supply of water, the river is allowed to flow through the reservoirs, to the extent of its ordinary bulk, and is admitted and discharged under the embankments, on raising the eluizea, by means of two parallel cast-iron pi vs of 4 feet diameter each. A man in the serv i ce o f the Cor poration will of course have to reside in the neigh bourhood to superintend and regulate these sluices. The Torside reservoir is situate about a mile below the one at Woodhead, and extends about a mile down the river. The balk of the river is increased before reaching this point by the accession of the waters from Crowden Brook, Hollins Brook, and acme minor s•reame. It is about a mile and three quarters in length, varies from 18 to 100 feet in depth, and from 703 to 1,281 feet in width. The third reservoir is the Rhodes Wood, commencing close to the Torside, and its waters backing up against the embankment at the bottom or the Turside reservoir. The Rhodes Wood reservoir is about a mile in length, from MO to 1,074 feet wide, and from 1•i to 80 fe et deep. Although this is the lest reservoir on the Etherow, the conduit constructed to divert the surplus water to Manchester is carried along the northern slope of the vale rearly two miles further, where it reaches Tintwiitle. Here, upon some rising ground on the north of the vale of the Etherow, two streams, called the Armfield Brook and the Holltogsworth Brook, fed chiefly by springs up in the hills further to the north, nearly converge, and the corporation are constructing two other reservoirs in close proximity to each other to intercept and receive their waters, instead of allowing them to flow into the Etherow. The Armfleld reser voir, the largest of the two, covers sixteen acres, and 'they are consequently much smaller than the othere. l It is unlike the others also in requiring a considerable amount of excavation. The conduit to Manchester, alter receiving its contributions here, flows on as be fore described, through a tunnel under the hills at Mot•ram, to Godley and J /eaten, where the last of the chain of reservoirs are situate. The entire capacity of all these reservoirs, it is expected, will enable the corporation to store in them six hundred million cubic feet of water. Of the whole tract of country from which the drainage is to be cAlected for this scheme of water works, ab rat 1,500 acres is covered with decayed peat moss, which, in heavy showers and floods is liable to be charged with vegetable matter and other impu rities; and to avoid the mingling of such water with the other, catch-water trenches will be run round the sides of the hills to receive and carry it away to a portion of the river where it will do no harm. There will be some small auxiliary reservoirs to construct, but these are not connected with the supply of water to Manchester; they are intended to facili tate the supply to the mills along the Etherow, when that stream shall be interrupted in its flow for pur ee connected with the reservoirs at Woodhead, Torside, and Rhodes Wood. Of course, with a daily sappy of 40 million gallons of water the Manchester corporation will have a large surplus after taking all that is necessary for their own use, including the supply to trading establish ments as well as that' for domestic purposes; and already arrangements have been entered into for the sale of a considerable quantity to the corporation of Salford. Some other towns near the line of works will also, no doubt, make overtures from time to time and be supplied from this source. To remunerate them for the expense these works will put them to, the corporation of Manchester are empowered to sup ply mains to all the houses in the borough, and lay a rate upon the inhabitants. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING TUE AMENDMENT OF Tan LAW.—Yesterday the annual meeting of the members of this society was held at their oiliest', in liegent-street, Mr. Sujetaat Manning in the chair. The report, which was read by Mr. J. Steward, stated that the subject which had principally engaged the attention of the society during the present session had been the introduction of a more euy, prompt, and effective mode of proceeding for the adminis tration of the estates of deceased persens, the establishment of a law school, the publication of legal works, the report ing of law proceedings, and the printing of proceedings in Saw and In equity, measures calculated to facilitate the labours of the profession, and to increase its efficiency as the agents and depositories of the law. The council expressed their regret at the illness of Lord Cottenham, but congratu lated the society not onl on this promises it was making, but on the means it possessed of realising those numerous demands for reform with which there was so much general agreement, and to which the society had been so largely instrumental is attracting attention. The council also congratulated the sheeting on the introduction of two measures—one by Lord Brougham, alto other by Mr. T —for further reforms Ia Cnaacsry. The council believed that the report of the Real Property Commissioners would recommend the adop tion of a general registration of deeds, founded mainly on the sane plan and principles as had already been suggested by the society, and they concluded by stating that recent events had fully justified the establishment of the society, and that full attention was now given hy parliament to the particular subjects which the society had planed before the public. The report having been adopted, officers for the en suing year were appointed, and the muting/ broke up. BILITISII AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOClETY.—YrO terday the uwal annual elimination of the boys school of this socimy, in the Borongh•road, took pines, Sir Kdwud North Balton presiding. There was a large attendance of visitors on the occasion, whxlip i ed great intanst in the proceedings ; and it is not that they should do so, for nothing could exceed t promptitude with which answen were given to the various questions pat, or the ad. wired, training and discipline evinced in the 00111111 of the eausination.

EXTINAIVII RODNULY OF PLATE ♦ND J2WILLERT.— W. Carter, a man who has been employed for years to open and close the shops of several tradesmen in the City, was finally examined, charged with hay ng robbed one of his esaployen, Mr. Dodd, jeweller, &c., of Cornhill, of diamond tinge, ear-rings, brooch«, pl►te, and various articles, of the rake of upwards of 2001. The greater part of the property was traced to the priso ner, who said nothing in hie defence, but appeared deeply e6•cted; and, at the conclusion, implored the alderman not to commit him for trial, as it was his first offence. He said, also, that he had been urged to commit robbery through losses in betting. Fully committed. PROPOSED NEW MANAGEMENT OF THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.

The minutes of the la.t court having been read, on the motion of the chairman, the resolution for the production of papers with reference to the Delhi question wss rescinded, circumstances having rendered it inexpedient that they should then be produced. Captain Peter Gordon then, at great length, and with constant re ference to an immense mass of documents, which, however, had little, if any, connexion with the subject, moved that the papers which bad been on the proprietors' table for 16 years, concerning his expul.ion from office, 23 year. 7 monffis sad 21 days ago, be now taken into consideration. The hon. member occupied the time of the court for an hour, at the close of which, there being no seconder of his motion, it fell to the ground. The other business of which nodes had been given was not brought forward, and the court adjourned. FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE AT MEBBRS. WHlT nanares Baawate.—Yesterday evening Mr. W. Baker, jan., held an inquest at the Civet Cat, Chiswell-street, Finsbury, on the body of Will;am Jones, aged 42, a labourer, in the employment of Mews. Whitbread and Co., the brewers. William Cox, a labourer, in the service of the firm, stated that on Monday afternoon last, about 4 o'clock, witness and deceased received directions to clean the bottom of an ale vat, which contained a quantity of grounds, and which had been in that state for some months. The vat was about eight feet in depth, and was capable of holding about eighty barrels of ale. A ladder was procured and lowered into the vat. Deceased first descended, without hav ing tried the state of the atmosphere in it by means of a lighted candle. In a few seconds witness, who had a light, saw him returning up the ladder. He staggered and tell into the grounds ; upon which witness gave an alarm, And went to the deceased's asmistance. Ile had, however, warmly reached the last step of the ladder when he became nearly insensible irom the eff cts of the gas in the vat. Ca the arrival of some of the labourers, witness was taken out, and in about five minutes after deceased was got out, life being extinct. A surgeon was called in, but he was unable to restore the vital functions. In answer to the coroner, the witness stated that general directions were al ways given not to clean out any vat without first having tried with a lighted candle to ascertain if it contained foul air. Mr. David Slats, master brewer, stated that he had frequently cautioned the deceased against entering any vats for the purpose of cleaning them of the grounds, and without first opening the hatch and turning the tap for a few minutes previously, to allow the escape of the carbonic acid gas gene rated from the grounds, which would collect in a sheet time. The vat in question contained about two barrels of grounds, and had been closed since February last. The deceased and the witness Cur, who had been in the service of the flan nearly 16 years, were well acquainted with the practice, but had neglected to adopt the usual precautions. Verdict, "Accidental death from carbonic acid des, and thatno blame was attached to the firm." DUMBARTONSHIRE CATTLE Sniorr.—The annual show of live stork, held under the envies' of the Dasher tonshire Agricultural Society, took place on Monday, in • field to the west of Dumbarton. This emaciation has existed but for a brief period, but has been lineamental in mamma sica,ieg • rework' stimulus to the cause of ageitultural im revetment. This ie strikingly illustrated by the pregremive ' superiority In its exhibitions. At the one en Monday, a large ne.mber of cattle were brought forward—many of them of a vtry line character. The INAOOOUATIO , I of the SECTION of the PARIS and STUAIIIIOI.IIIO RAILWAY compriimi between Meta and Nancy, which is 67 kilometres in length, will take place on the 14th of this month. MONEY MARKET. WEDNESDAY Beaux°. The Severn has brought to the Bank of England, towards the payment of dividends on the Mexican debt, from Vera Crux, 49,727 dole. 57c.; from Tam pico, 10,997 dole. 730.; total, 60,725 dole. 30c. The amount pending for account of the bondholders in Vera Crux was estimated at 158,822 dole. 26e. on the 18th ult., and in Tampico at 10,107 dole. 25c. on the 14th ult. By her Majesty's ship Inconstant it was intended to ship 4,674 dole. 2c. from San Bias for account of the bondholders. The accounts from Tobago just received by the West India mail concur in deprecating the great an noyance and inconvenience, as well as pecuniary loss, to which the importers of goods into the island are subjected since the tariff bill came into operation, which the Governor-in-Chief assented to on his recent visit to the colony. It was generally believed at the time that the Governor-in-Chief would have waited for the Royal assent to the measure before he caused it to be proclaimed. This, however, has not been the case; and however commendable the motives of Sir William Colebrooke may have been, it is evident that in the present case he has acted with greater precipitancy than a dap consideration foe the interests of the colonists would have suggested. The consequences are that, although the new tariff does away with the foreign duties as regards colonial revenue, yet these are regu larly demanded under the imperial act by the custom house, and paid, to the great loss of the importers, and it is averred. without any advantage to the colonial revenue. The bill to repeal the Imperial Duties Act, though assented to - by the Governor-in-Chief, has not been proclaimed, and, therefore, is not in force. Added to this grievance, a former bill, imposing an ad valorem duty of 2,1 per ',cent., not being repealed, through some blunder of the House of Assembly, was revived, so that three separate duties are now being collected at Tobago, which, as may be supposed, act most oppree , sively as regards several of the mercantile interests. For the latter duty, it must be observed, there is a local remedy, the poring of an act to repeal the 21 per cent. duty, which happily had already passed the Assembly, and will no doubt, so soon as the necessary forms will permit, receive the as sent of the Council and the Executive. It was also hoped end expected that the duties', paid under the act in consequence of this over sight will be refunded by an act of the House of Assembly, as it evidently never could have been in tended to levy three distinct duties instead of only one. His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, Major Grreme, and family had arrived out. The Agricul tural Society had held their quarterly meeting, when samples of sugar were exhibited from various estates, and amongst them two from Golden Grove and Grafton, the one having been manufactured with the aid of gypsum, and the other with the lime and vege table ashes of the cashew. Both samples were of good quality and fair appearance, but considerably inferior in colour to the (samples manufactured in the ordinary manner, all of which are reported as being of a very au perior quality. The want of encouragement to the society is very much regretted by all who take an interest in the agricultural prosperity of the island and neigh bouring colonies. The advices from China by the overland mail have supplied u• with an official account of the import and export trade of the port of Canton during the year 18-19. The value of the merchandise imported in 173 British vessels of t 50,311 tons and 72 Hong Kong Larches of 6,560 tons buttheo, was, in British woollen manufactures 768,012 dole.; in British cotton manufactures, 1,475,641 doll.; and in miscellaneous articles of British produce, raw and manufactured, 171.983 dole., snaking the total imports of British products and manufactures , . 2,115,071 dole. The im ports of the products of India and other countries, from British India, Singapore, Batavia, Austrilia, &c., amounted to .5,45G,573 dole., of which 4,769,641 dole. consisted of raw cotton. The total imports in British ships thus amounted to 7,902,244 dole., equal, at the excha^ge of 4s. 2d. per dollar, to 1,646,301/. sterling. On referring to the tables of exports we God raw raro iuee set down at 10,461,300 dole., of which 9,336,700 dole. consisted of tea. The exports of all descriptions of manufactured articles were 1,022,573 dols.; making the total exports in British ships, 11,183,933 dole., or 2,392,9031. sterling. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocK.
