Frbett the fact* which your Committee have &tailed, it oust be obvious the Legislature stone can arbitrate the matter at issue between the. Public Your Committee would hive gladly recommended I . helic to compromise or to adjust theii_dilfer cocci with the Companies; but the evidence of fc6 - rove, beyond all doubt, no security can be put hi any promise or pledge which these Companies' may, lie disposed to otter.—(Vide Appendix, No. 13.) . And it is equally obvious that the Committee at large have no other means of entering into any agree. mentor contract with these Companies. but through the medium of an Act of Parliament. Upon a review of all the circumstances of this: important case: — The defecsive state and extraordinary nature of the Act of Parliament ; the shameful spirit of speculation.. (not to say gambling) which actuated the East Lon don Company at its outset ; the obvious want of talent in the conducting of these works after their first establishment ; the extravagant and useless es penditere and slo - riot@ waste of money, naturally re suiting from this want of scientific information ; the criminal combination of the Companies, affecting the lives and properties of tfie community ; the copse quent onparalleled attempt, by exorbitant charges, to make the Public bear the onus of their system of gambling, their extravagance, and their follies ; the reaultirig monopoly of the first and most important nrilcle of subsistence, carrying in Its train a long succession of alarming evils ; the total disregard, on the pert of the Companies, of all contracts and agree. inertia ; the discretionary power of the Companies' oftectors to impose what charges their caprice, ignorance, or malignity may direct ;—.forcibly im press open the minds of your Committee, the in apilitynf procuring redress otherwise than by an sp. peal ter the Legislatore of the country.—(Vide Ap tysndit, No; 14.)e- . l7liey, therefore, recommend that • Peation he lent le Pirliament from the inhvtitants of this district, stating generally those grievances de tailed it the Reprirt ; and praying the Roust; of Commons to adopt such measures, as in their nisdom should seem most meet to grant redress. Urging the house to appoint a Committee, to investigate into the state of the supply of water to the Metropolis ; and to bring in a Bill to amend the former Acts of • these two Companies, or for toe establishment of . tkillet Companies, astray then he determined. Your Committee baste also to recommend, that the ommittee of twenty-4er should remain undissolvod, 'for the p:r rpGfe of adopting such measures as may, (P.m time to time, appear necessary to carry into effect the appeal to Pvi:arnent. And also for the purpose of collectiug additional evidence, and con ducting this necessary,md Importaabusiness through all its subsequent stfges.' Your Committee state It is their firm conviction, , that as soon as the esilthereie detailed are sutficient. fy promulgated, and the .Prlblic•te informed of the dangerous situation in which they are now pieced by the culpable conduct of the Water'Compsnies, every effort will he made, and the strongest support will be givers in favour of the present proposed appeal to the Legislature. Your Committee beg lerve.distinctly to declare, iu the investigation of the subject sub mitted to them, 'they have carefully abstaiaed from tit personal coesideration,s, and have pursued this enquiry upon its 'broad public ptlnciple ; nor have grey allowed individual interest! to sway their deter- Atinatious.

Mr. Howlett complains of the very insufficient supply. being rarely more than once a week. and then but very scantily. Mr. Howlett is certain that at the fire which occurred at Cock-hill, there was no water to be obtained for au hour and a half, and that in con sequence ten houses were burnt and nearly destroyed. V.

Mr. Ashton, of Williams-street, stated. that at the fire a hick took place about three weeks since in Ratcliffe-highway. opposite to Old Gravel-lane, and which ultimately terminated in die destruction of two buuses, and the melancholy loss of two lives, no water could be tobtaiued during three quarters of un hour; and that during that time, the turn-lock was walking carelessly op and down refusing every felicitation to turn on the water!! At length, after a lapse of malty an hour, he turned it in, :and there was scarcely enough in the amiss to cause it to run down the channel !!! 4. Mr. Harris, of the Curtain-mad, Sboreditch, stated, that a tire cook place at a house opposite to his own residence, and that no water whatever could he obtained from either of the Company's pipes, there being no tire-plugs at all in that neigh bourhood.

Nothing in our opinion can iii tite Partial; ' and unjust as the present Acts under whlci these Cot' patties exercise' their arbitrary powers; for Is defeCdive • are they, that every stipulation alt the part of this C oro ;,. patties is optiinal, whilst on the part of the Public they are compulsory. There is seinething peculiarly': legal and unjustifiable in the manner in o hich the Waterer i Companies levy their rates in many instances. What can I be more absurd, for example, than that they should have the power of levying a rate upon land without the consent of Parliament ? that if a debt contracted by an inhabitant should not be paid by him, they should have the power of charging the same open the landlord, and that they should take upon them to cut off the stpply-etvratest from any parti. colar premises, or have the option of providing or not providing water, whatever may be the situation of the houses or places from which the supply is cut off—even though the most destructive fire 'nay be raging et the:time.

" The army of Chili was, in Jane, in the neigh. hourhood of Salta—the Royal force was on the fron tier of Peru. 64 Capt. Biddle, in the Ontario, had sailed for the mouth of the Columbia River, on the north-west coast ; and a British ship of war, commanded by Captain Hinckley, futtoued the Ontario soon after, on board of which Mr. Prevost, Agent of the United States, also went a passenger. It was understood that the British Officer was authorized to formally abandon all claims to territory or settlement in that quarter, to which some settlers and adventurers there had previously set up pretensions which threatened unpleasant consequences, but which are thus likely ' to be terminated amicably." The Gazda Ministerial de Chili, of the sth June, contains correspondence between Contain James fiddle, of the United States Navy, and the CO lesa Government, which we have .not room to inser to-day. The Boston Patriot announces the arrival, by the ship Oscar, Captain :but, arrived there, in 117 days from Calcutta, of Papers from India to the Tti June, inclusive.
