' WATER COMPANIES. Mr. FItP.E3IANTLE, in calling the attention of the House to the state of the supply of water in the metro polis, was actuates! by no personal view, and to com plain of no personal grievance. It was to a great public grievance that he wished to call the attention of the House. in ISM, the attention of Parliament was called to the manner in m hick the Metropolis was supplied nith water. A - 1, to that period! the Inhabitants hid neen provided with an adequate supply of water by three or four long established companies. At the time to which he referred, it was said the supply furnished by these was defective, and it was therefore contended that it was necessary a new establishment should be formed, for the purpose of securing a more abundant supply at a cheaper rate ; and above all, for the purpose of destroying the monopoly which hail previously existed. It was in the full conviction that such were the objects of the applicants that Parliament lent itself to elm undertaking. The Old Companiescould have furnished an ample supply, and were at that time improving the mode of preparing it by laying down iron pipes. Such was the situation of the Old Companies at that period, when it was proposed to es tablish a New Company, to diminish their rates, the an nual charge being then on the general average not more than 275. per house. The supply then furnished might not be so obionlant as that since obtained, but it was such as to satisfy the inhabitants, Now the charges an nually paid r•oidil not amount to less than between four and Ave pounds per annum per house. At first thecom pany which then applied for a Parliamentary sanction, the 'West Middlesex Company, stated, their object to be not to supply tier metropolis, but •of the parts in its neighbourhood. They, however, soon after came to Par liament to get their Bill amended, and they were then authorised to furnish certain parts . of the metropolis with water. In ISI I, another Company, the (hand Junction Water Company, caner to Parliament. The House on that occasion, trusted on the competition excited, did not take due precautions to uard against an over charge, as in the case of a canal or a both! , by limit ing the toll to be paid. The only clause ich limited the charges of the Company was that which provided that they should supply the public at a " reasonable rate," but it was left for the company to determine what was a " reasonable rate," and in this situation the case bad remained up to the present time.. The rival Com panies at first tried( to destroy and drive each other out of the market by every means they could devise, but „after acting on this principle for three or fou r y uars, they found the expense attendant on their active oppo sition so great, as to threaten ultimate ruin, and they then came to a compromise. They in fact entered into a combination to divide the metropolis among theta. Cer tain portions of it were given to each Company; they bound themselves in certain penalties not to serve in tech others districts—they took up the pipes that bad previously been laid down for the purposes of cempeti tion, and thus established such a monopoly in Water as had never been known before. From the moment the monopoly was established by removing the pipes, from that moment their rates were increased to a consi derable extent. One of the pretences set up fur increas ing their demands, was, the great espense to which they had been subjected. This, as he had said before, was incurred by their hostility to each other. Another pretence was, that the Bill brought in by an lion. Friend of his for preserving the pavement , had compelled them to go to the expense of laying down iron pipes. This was idle, as some of the old Companies had determined on laying down iron pipes from motives of economy. The expense sustained by those who were than the mem bees of some of these Companies, did not justify the ad vance contended for, as the shares had been so depre ciated, that they had been bought by many of the then hololers of them for 70 or SO per cent. discount. The resistance opposed by the public to the demands then Mi. Blgg. W. Collier. Wellington, ironwionger, Feb. 93, 2t, March 90, at the Boll's Head Inn, Wellington. Attorneys.

LONCON BRIDGE. Sir F. BLAKE presented a Petition from Mr. Dodd, calling the attention of the House to the present state of London Bridge, which was such, that if suffered to eon tinue, it would be injurious to the cotnmeree of the River. The Hon. Megaber said, in bringing Gel: for ward he was not animated by a desire to attend to any local of private interest, lint by a sincere nisi' to favour that which would tend to promote the general prosperity of the country. The petitioner prayed to be allowed to prove before a Select Committee the troth of the facts stated in his Petition, and suggested that the four city Members and the Members of the other Mari time Towns in England should be on the Committee. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. PETITION FROM CAMBRIDGE. Lord F. OSBORNE presented a Petition, described to he that of.the Bankers, Merchants, and Trailers of the town of Cambridge, praying for the restoration of the Queen's name to the Liturgy, and an inquiry i:ito the conduct of Ministers with respect to the Milan t out mission. Colonel FRENCH said, if the Petition hail been presented as that of the undersigned inhabitants of Cambridge, he should not have had a word to say on the subject, but being presented as that of the Bankers, Merchants, and Traders of Cambridge, be felt it to be his duty to give the House some idea of the character of the ineetine at which it hail been voted and the manner in which it had been up. lie would do this and then leave the House to deter mine whether this Petition had a right to claitn the character which it had assumed. A meeting► had been called by certain persons whose political opinions differed widely from those of the majority of the re spectable inhabitants of Cambridge. Of twelve Bankers who had signed the requisition, hut two attended the meeting—there were present sic Mer chants and twelve Tradesmen of tespectabilit•. The remainder of the meeting consisted of gown Amen who were rather unwelcome visitors he believed to the rest—two or three hawked labourers who wete dis engaged, it being St. Monday, and a large number of nurses and children. He should he a most ungrateful man if he were to speak disrespectfully of gownswen, to whom under peculiar circumstances he had owed great obligations, and far was he from feeling. dis posed to say any thing against that %lass of men who earned their daily bread by the sweat of their brow, bat it was too much that such a meeting as he had described should arrogate .to itself the character claimed by these petitioners, that of " The Bankers, Merchants, and Traders of Cambridge." Ile knew the industry which had heed used to obtain signatures to this Petition, and be knew that from the manner is which it was got np, some respectable :.;entlenien who were friendly to those who had framed it had re routed to sign it, and this accounted for its presenting so few names.

Notwithstanding this derision, the ad rns was claimed, and, by one Compaey. it was diem ,ed in such a manner, that while to some iedividuala among their companies it made no differeom at ell, • others hall to complain of an advance of 150 or 200 per cent. The means of obtaittiug a supply from any other qviatter being cut off. fluster who related to submit to this arbitrary demand were at once deprived of a step- • ' ply of water. The public ought not thus to he fitted at the arbitrary will of any set of Walkman. Hi was as bstated by no feelings of losetilityetirmaide s* 4 of them, bitt hewas anxious that the saidee% sbNid be Is qoirrd into, in the hope that the ptesent .eansesof d'.... content might be removed. He caseload by moving for the appolh•mmit of a Select Ceteliillee to inquire into the past anal pre* at state pf the soppily of water in the metropolis, and the laws releting theme, and to re port the it (minions thereon to ttros b lottse. Mr. H. SUMNER bore testimony to the correctness of the atetentents made by the HrkOentleman, and expressed himself anxious to give him in the proposed inquiry any assistance in his power. 31r..51.A.TAYLOR, with great deference for his Hon. 1 Friend who had made the motion, did not 'gem with all that he had stated that night. 'lbis time would come for inquiring whether the plan which he (Mr. 31. A. Taylor) hail formerly recommended, weald not have removed every evil now complained of. The plain goes tion was this, whether a new Company ought or ought not to he established ? The House had formerly established several Companies, with a view to compe tition, bat if an arrangement had not taken place the new Companies mast hare been oruined and the old ones might then have gone on without any opposition at all. He had formerly inquired into the state of the several companies, and had been satisfied that an in crease of their rates was necessary. He had therefore proposed to 6x a maximum. by giving them an advance of 25 per cent. over the charges of 1810. Since that time there had been a water fever in the metropolis. To the plan lie had suggested two years ago, he thought they twist yet have recourse, for to expect the Companies could afford to supply the public ou the same terms, as in ISIO, was farcical. Mr. Alderman BRYDGES spoke In behalf of the Water Companies, sheered that some of them had made little or no profit, and wished the Committee to be an open Committee. Ale wiLmoT thought it would be for those who went into the Committee, merely to inquire into the means of doing . ustice between the parties. For him- • self he did not see the advantages which an open Com mittee would have over a select one. But if there were any, when the Bill came into the House, they would then have all those ailvantages which some might sup pose were to be found in an open Committee to remedy the evils of another. The imotiod was Men agreed to sad a Committee forth with appointed. PATENT RIGHTS. Mr. CURWFN, after briefly setting forth the pro priety of affording all reasonable encouragement and pro tection to thole who bene fi ted their country by their discoveries and inventions, in ived for leave to bring in a Bill to authorise the Attorney-General in certain cases t a extend the period during which Patent Rights should by protected. 51e.11. (ADDY trusted the House would not pass the Bill as a matter of center as be held it to be one of con siderable importance to die Arts and Sciences. After a few words from Mr. Waorrasess, leave was given to bring in the Bill. FOREIGN TRADE. Mr. WALLACE moved for the appointment of a Com mittee to inquire into the state of our Foreign Trade.-- it was desirable that this subject shouid• occupy the ,e -teution of Parliaineut. The state of our commerce was already improving, and the distresses of a part of the la bouring community hail been materially relieved. lu the cotton trade a great change for the better had taken place. In the woollen trade also some improvement hail 1 taken place, and in other-branches of our commerce there were indications of recovery from the depression under which they had laboured. The interests of the several woritine classes were so linked together, that the di-- tress of one had always been followed by the distress el . the others; and he hoped in the same way that 'acct.'s still improvement in one Would be equally followed by success and improvement in the rest. This country pos— sessed considerable advantages over other nations, lett. . these, great as they were, we had to exert under suet; burdens as were borne by no other country. Those who felt this would recognise the importance of makiug • such advantages as available as possible. Ile we-. persuaded that there was no way of doing t!i s but by a revision of our existing system with a new i► open as wide a field as possible to our merchants st i . manufacturers. It was, however, impossible to expect that there would be a dieposition on she part of other countries to contribute to our relief by admitting our commerce unless we were equally disposed to do the • same by them. The benefit must be reciprocal. Unlecs we supported them they would nut support us. It elan in vain to expect that we tenthd act the part of vebdora to all the world. Such a principle woeld be destruceiv M of the best interests of this uatiou, and cause it to nazi, war upon itself. It was the principle of free , trade alone which could lead to the prosperity of the country.: but in its present situation that principle could only be acted upon under considerable limitations. Not only .n this country but in al: others new channels of trade had been opened, which called for protection. &dimes their nature, they only required immediate protection as far as absolute necessity called for it. Upon a former occasion, a Committee°, the House had been a pp o i n t e d, and directed their attention to this subject with consi derable advantage. That Committee load made recom mendations relative to the state of the NaYieeltion Lain; and it was his intention to submit to the House at ua very distant period, a measure for carrying those recoee mendations into effect. At the same time he shout I propose that another suggestion of that Committee should he adopted; namely, the consolidation of t.s commercial laws of the country. By removing the iv- pediments which stood in the way of commerce, they would not only maintain, but improve and extend the national resources. lie moved that a Committee be appointed to examine into the state of the trade and commerce of the country, and to report thereon. Mr. CURIVF;N expressed his gratidcatios that the Uovernment was awiseened to the necessity of ex., asinine into these subjects to which the lion. Mem ber's mi.tion applied.
