He stated that Lord Dneie, who was represented as bolding the office of Pro vost Marshal no the Island of Jamie*, had resigned that office so long since as the year Wet. This he thought it necemety to enmities. hiving learned it front the Noble Lord hiureelfs The Noble Earl theaght it ilea:wary to adieet to 're eoelition which had lately takeu place between she Water Companies of this City, which was at tended with ne trifling iomeamoiroce to the inhabi tants. He spoke in particular of his own tenants Ili Gresveemesquare, and the streets aeljeinlng it, front whom he had learned the eircemstimee. He understood that some of these Companies bad waited themselves, and divided the tetra among 'hem. appropriating to each certain stmeue Now Le such an arrangement it MIS to lee expected either giant water would be supplied ou Mak reessinable terms, or that the supply would be better. With oespect to. the former be declined speaking. but of the latter he was well sweured that the supply of water was not only less iu quantity, but of a mooch worse quality thins usual. His statement on this rind indeed did not rest on the opinions of others, for he had the curiusity to try the water ill tea, and "found it very bail. It load a very black loud disa. igrerable sediment, and would perfectly realise the setsl saying, that a man swallows a peek of desk Itefure he dies. He was not sure that this might not be very injurious to the health. but it undoubtedly .was very diaagrvealole in use.

It however now appear. -ed. that three these Companies had bought out tht others, and had unit. ol themselves in the man eer already ineiiiimied by tie Noble Earl. It thus ireopened that they were enabled by their private prueretitu,..st to counteract the wishes of the Legis .l4ture. The neschief ari-ioig from such a con y was not to be measured either by the in erele.ed price of Use water, MN et by the iitoliffer. race of the supply as it ulTected imlitiolnels, but its imp ortialiee should be eatimated by the Mee erwity to which it reduced the property, and the lives of the inhal4tanta of the metropolis.

Earl Gaustrxwort stated, that a Lady of high re eopectability hail informed him, that not long since she was apprehensive of the breaking out of fire in her house, and iii her alarm load sent a messenger for tantalite to the seine persons to whom, on a similar occasion, she had once before applied. By them, however, she was informed, dolt although extremely desirous of assisting her, they found it -iinprosible to do so, as their duties and powers had been transferred to others to whom they referred her. It happened that those ether persons to whom the Lady was referred, lived so far off. that the' house might have lwen burgled to the ground byline they could have administered any assistance. The Earl of SMArrESIBUST ravened his liaises faction at having the subject taken ep io seek, a I manner, and declared that it was his intsuiliek whenever the matter came in a tangible shmerfirse 1 fore their Lnolships, to do his utmost for removing the present tell.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had heard wills coosiderable surprise that snub a statement had appeared in the Irish prints, prdbitbly copied from the English journals, previous to the adjourn ment for the recess.

A cause of a strange nature has been heard before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Boordeank. In the ,mouth of September last, three labourers entered a house to ask for a glees Li water. They found uo one there but a woman, who requested them to wait for her husband. whom she went to call. The huelnind costae, and the three men having renewed their request, he went to gather three pease in his garden, and gave one of them to each of the libourers. They immediately departed, and sot of them proceeded to eat his pear, but scarcely hail he ken one mouthful when he felt pains that threw Illon into violent convulsions. He fell on his back and became quite furious. The condition of this man drew round him several persons, who inquired the cause of hir sufferings.

At these words the populace proceeded to the house of the toe obliging individual, and would have I come out of his house and restore health to the sick man, but he refused. Duriiig the Wallah round the door of Patte-Houive, the old woman, who had already pointed him out as a soseerer, persuaded the rick man that the only means .of obi:tieing a speedy cure was to bite the sorcerer's wife in die belly.

The woman uttered loud cries, us niay easily be believed. She end her husband immediately lodged their complaint with the Mayor of the Commune of Cenon-Ltebastide, who transmitted it to the King's Attorney-General. The cause was tried on the 13th of this mouth, when the sick man, who pre tended he was betwitched, and his two tiiende, were condemned to one month's imprisoinnent, to a fine, and the caste.
