Yesterday a Meeting of the Inhabitant House holders, and ethers residing in the Eastern District of the Metropolis, took place at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the General Committee appointed at the last Meet ing to consider of the alleged monopoly of the Wa ter Companies who supply this District. The Chair was taken soon after oueo'clock by Mr. J. B. SHARPE, who presided on the former occa lion. He was supported by Mr. BYRE, the Member for Middlesex, and several Gentle men who take an active part in the business of the particular Water Companies. The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the Meet ing to the nature of the business which they had met to tmusact. This, he said, would be best understood by the pithhe advertisement through which the Meeting had been convened. The SRCREtARR read the advertisement in pur swarme of which the Meeting was convened. The CHAIRMAN thin addressed the Meeting in the following manner:— " Gentlemen—As-Chairman of the Committee appointed by the last Meeting, it becomes my duty to recapitulate our labours in a summary manner, on the present occasion. The Committee, in entering upon their investigation, studiously abstained from all personal considerations respecting their own private interests, and solely directed their attention to the discharge of the public duty which was con signed to them. The Report, which Would be shortly read, contained a great part of the evi dence on which the Committee had acted. Soon after they had entered upon their inquiry, they heard that the Witter Companies were willing to compromise the matter with the Committee; but the Committee took a higher ground, and deter mined to hold no intercourse in the way of com promise with the Companies, unless the latter merle a direct communication with them for that purpose, on behalf of the public. The Commit tee was averse to any sort of underhand compro mise, and for this obvious reason, that it would have been difficult, if not impracticable, to make any such arrangement, except for the parties im mediately interested and engaged in making it, or enter into any compact which would embrace the public at large. The Committee have taken care to make tin statement of facts without being in possession of ample proof its their Support, except in one particular case, where the proof involved the interest of private individuals. It was there fore thought proper not to disclose this proof in the particular instance, except before it Committee of the House of Commons, to which they wete of opinion it would be most desirable to submit the whole case on the part of the public. The Secre tary would, with the permission of the Meeting. now proceed to read the Report."—(Applause.) The Secretary now read the Report, which was of considerable length, and was entitled— ', The Report of the General Committee appointed by a Resolution passed at • public Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders and others in the Finsbury and Tower Divi sions, held on the 80th day of October, 1518, at the City of London Tavern, upon the Combination of the New River and East London Water-work Companies; suit the conse quent Monopoly of Water." It reviewed the Acts of Parliament establishing these Companies, sod asserted that they had nut been ftilllled— the combination formed between them—the alleged mono poly which was the result of it---and the remedy by a new •ppral to Parliament ; and in a long Appendix, set forth a number of particular cases, in which the individuals named therein had been saute: My assessed by the Companies fur • supply of water, contrary to previous agrertnents, and were, es the law now stood, without redress. Mr. Bice rose to move, that this Report be re ceived and adopted by the Meeting. Mr. LILLEY here interrupted Mr. Bigg, and oh jet•.ted to his being heard, as he was merely a lodger, and not a contributer to either of the Water COlOptiltlCll, whose affairs Wrft adder discusnon. 'fins interruption led to some altercation between those who wiblted to hear Mr. Bigg, rod their op ponents, Mr. YOUNGE rose to order. Ile said, that he understand tlin, was a Meeting of the inhabitant linti-rholders of the north-east district ut the me tropolis, he would, therefore, ask the Chairman, elieths:r it was in order (ur any gti t tl esidn . who was nut an inhabitant householder, to address the Meeting. .. - ‘ • The CHAIRMAN answered, that this was a Meet ing of the inhabitant , householders, awl others. of the Finsbury and Towt..r Divisions in the tiorth east district of the metropolis. It was clear, there fore, that loiters, besides inhabitant householders, had a right to address the Meeting ? Mr. BIGO then proceeded to second the motion for receiving and adopting the Report. After some prefutory observations.upon the impropriety of the interruption he had eocauntered, and the motives to which be attributed :it, he arid that but little time was urcesstery to prove the value of the Re port which bad just been read. Originally the cows lay on the Committee to make out a case to justify the public appeal : against the mounpoly of the particular Water Companies. He wonlil ask, heti they not justified their intended call for legis- P Wive interference ? Was it not enough to spew the °trendy of interference, when it appeared by "the Report that many of the heavy losses by fire, and the further and more serious loss of -lives which occasionally added to this calamity, were attributa ble in a number of instances to the want of overtly cud sufficient supply of water ? Besides this, there :was the exorbitant and arbitrary increase of the rate of payment for the supply of water, such as it was, which was in itsel.,a just cause of appeal for the interposition of the Legislature.—(/fear.)—The public were bound to oppose this exercise of petty tyranny. The Meeting would see in the conclusive evidence of Mr. Ralph Dodd, that the Company had not performed their contract faithfully with the public—that they had not, in fact, fulfiller: the terms on which the Legislature granted them their charter. The Report continued a volume of valu able practicel information, and until lie heard its contents commented u p on or resisted he would abstain from anticipating needlcss objectuess, mid consuming at the outset the valuable time of a Meeting like this. He would reserve to himself the right of reply in case any thing occurred which should reuder the exercise of this right necessary. He would now simply content himself with tnovieg, that this Report be received and adopted. . Mr. HENRY RUMFORD seconded thus motion, and lamented what he conceived to be the illiberal in terruption which the tnover haul experienced. . He attributed the comparatively thin attendance et• this Meeting, to the means which had heel, most impro perly taken to prevent the public from knowing that the Report was this day to be submitted to their consideration. What would the Alerting think, when they were informed that the usual mode of giving the public notice of • Meeting, had been in this case resorted to by posting pla cards, but almost itnniediately after they were put up they were torn down—tt was not for him to say by whom. but the Meeting could easily conjectore. Other placards had been posted, in viting Sub-Committees locally constituted to assist in the efforts of the General Committee, but these placards were also almost immediately destroyed.— (Cries of " Show !")—The Collectors of the Water Companies bad been most active since the last Meeting in getting in the antonitt of their re multi--and every pains were taken to Vilify the characters and objects of the Gentlemen who were appointed on the Committee to iiivestigate the conduct of the Water Cony/Ines. He hoped, however, they would not be deterred from per forming their duty to the public, cud pursuing this investigation to its close, with the samehide pendent and patriotic spirit in which they had cone: meowed it.—(Applisere.)—lie concluded by se conding the inottuu. Mr. JACOB, said, that in the period when the 1 New River and East London Water Comp/wire were distinct bodies, he was supplied by the for mer, and oti fair terms. When the New River had transferred him and others, by their lucid ar rangements, to the East London, y he was told lie would be much better supplied, but lie was de- Ceived in this expectation, for the supply became much worse, and he suffered greatly in his bust. nets in consequence. lie was a slyer, and employ ed • number of inen ; they were all in full work at this period of mourning. and lie assured the Meet. ing, that for hours at a time he was obliged to pay his workmen, while they were yet uttabfe to do his business for want of water. The supply was lat terly bad, end he was obliged to employ persons to bring it over in pails-full to his concern, or submit to have his men stand still for thw want of it. The engineer bad called last week, and the water WHO well on then, butt if he had called since lie would have seen the difference, and the irregularity of the supply. Mr. YOUt)el rose to reply to allusions that had been made to him whets he called Mr. Bigg to or der early in the business. lie begged to assure the Meeting, that he attended there on publir ground!., and nut for any shower purposes of private interest. ' At the former Meeting he objected to the course then adopted ; it appeared to I to have keen Nil ex-paate proceeding, and he suggested at the time what he thought was the trite protest course of obtaining proper red.oss namely, that the Com mittee should coerce with the Directors of the East London Water Works, and state, with a view to their redress, the complaints alleged against their management. He now wished to know whether the Committee hari pursued this course. The Report of this dal; arraigned she terms of the Acts of Par beast-sit which itecorporated the Water Companies, with little attention to the property which indivi duals had, on the faith of these Acts, invested in Om concerns. He avowed that he was a proprie tor in the East Londoot Water Company, hot he at the same time declared !minuet!' interested i n a superior degree in the comfort and well being of the Eastern district of the metropolis, iii whirl lie held a large 'property. He assured the Aietting that he spoke his (10m unbiassed and independent sentiments; when he declared, that initch time. and trouble, and expense would he saved to the 'public, until more actual betietit &molted by the adoption Of all amicable artangrineut and intercojr,,e with they were mode, end no rise was levte.i on the parties. lie war as much Ng iitiet what wits terihrel a cisnabi• itatiCill as any wail, hilt In this 1)41(1411 hr in•laucr. be wits utterly Convinced that the public Could not obtain an adequate *tinily of witor on the terms that 114/111e people seemed to think practicahle i MOM he *or per,tielleil that the only course likely to lead to a fair nod practic:ible rrntilt between all invites, was, Ti, se•t no foul an amicable orranzenrent with the Water C•empaules.
