FIRST LINE (IFC.IN,II. This ennui, and the works connectill therewith, are intendeal to areommostste resets '2WO tons when fully haunt; fur this line ', 110.4 I:1 fill ',colt of water is required, with locks 1'25 feet in baigth and 81' feet in hreailth, which will also admit vessels of still greater tonnage, when light or partly loaded. The tine of each lock to be It list, and 30 in number on rich aide of the RI 11111 l lit : and as the canal will be Oil feet wide at top water, VCSSA. 01 Nett) tons. beirg only :nit fret in breadth to the extremity of their clic:meta. and there being tall towira! paths, they may pout each other without interruption in every part of the line. ['niter these circumstances. the line Of entail I sin about to tie. %craw has been underfed and surveyed. I 'pon the slur: of the English ( Lfunnel, the canal here commences at Leer Harbour (described under the third heed of this Report). whet' , lire lochs, or eight feet rise each, arc placed in the mass of White t From th••nee the line misses, by some deep cutting on the upper 11, western side of the village of Seaton, and Proceeds uptiti one level, in nearly a straight diteetion, for a distance of alaait live miles. across the river Cully, and passes the ♦illages of (l'hitefistil and ‘l*.welhaytie. At it little north of Kilmington the liii . l.agc commences, and the line, bending gently westward. crones the ri s er artt7 anti valley ; it afterwards ointinuels to near Chi_ conie, and from thence pruce.sls by hwhage up to the western aide of the river Axe, to the commencement of the summit level near Titherleigh, having. lit this part of its course, crossed the Warn. braik stream and small valley. In creasing the before-mentioned streams, proper aqueducts hare been prneided fur passing the flowd-watrws.. roint Iterr I larbmir to this place, the distance is 11f miles, and esetpting the di e;s tutting at Scum, the ground is sulticiently fa vourable, avid t. • woks of unusual magnitude arc required. I 'pin the summit level, tin the distance of about I mile, no °bustle ocntrii: but in the course of the nest two miles them is some heavy skip rutting. whiela cannot be avoided, unless by in creasing the is-kage, and shortening the summit—both very tilt- Jectionahle. Fonti titis ;dace to the northe rn telminati•tn of the &unlink level, the ground is favourable; its whole length Is twelve miles and a 11.11 f. From thin meth entl of the summit keel, the lorknge down to the riser Tone, at 11m1, is sus regularly attributed as the shape of the groom! viii admit. The Tone Talky anal rarer are ri.-ooiesl by an voiliaokittent and :ogieiltui, at u height to admit a lite passage fey the navigation anti flood-waters. IG mein the river Tone and Itridgewater, only two locks arc re. yore& and excepting a circuity about tonic high ground, the line is fAtourable. The town of Ilridgewater standing upon the termination of a conaiderable ridge of Will, %Mlle deep cutting is unavoidable; but the line Is chosen RI 1111 to llllCfrefC with only a few houses of com paneivi Iv sniall value, and to cross only one street. From ltridgewater to l'aiurbarcli, th.• ground it remarkably suit. able. being all keel cutting, and very direct. At l'onibitieb I propose to cmiatruct a small basin aril tide. lcel: ; but Mahand of the general intescourie being Mrced to enter the river rand at this place, a n d fume its circuitoun course amongst irre!Tlar trunl.banks, the canal here is continued about three tildes and a half along level ground, to the south.west angle of Bridge water bay, at Stidford, where it will tennittate in an e‘tensiee basin and arta:eta! harbour, to be docribed under the third head. _ Fenn the northern ex:tinnily of the summit level to this place, the dist:dire 20 Wiles :I furlongs. Of this distance IN miles hate only two hicks. and these are consitletalily to the %oath of Bridge. water. The toh.l distance front 'leer Barbour to Itralgewater Ilay, is 4.1 sniffs h furlongs the tail f the auninsit to high water, at an ordinary tide. in Ilridg.•watcr Bay, is VI feet ; lint by taking a did:Tett tide at lleer, the fall was fouml to be 233 feet. The ground aliaig tilt canal line, consisting generally of clays, marls, or other atid stance. which will retain wader, appr:tns (as far as cool.' la the course of a hasty survey be ascertaated), eery witnLlr for canal opsratinns. . . . . At the northern cnd ut the summit level. and :dna on the slim" at nail adjacent to Bridgettiter Ilay„ there is abundance of stnei;i.il loos limestone, equally imitable as buikling atom and ha 'maw. which hardens in wiser-works; a singular ad vantage, where to many locks, aqueducts, pica, Ac. will be required. SECONDLY—SUPPIXINO Tlll CANAL Wall IVA T It. The general direction of theianalinie is nearly north and south, the valley of the.

This ledge is covered at shout ball flood, and consists of firm ridges of lias rock of considerable elevation, and terms a shelter. On the Real avid north-west, ton kind a, bay or patch of soft mud, which spends out within it to the relent of nearly a mile; the whole, however, thy r.t spring tides, out to the extreme point of the Wick Hock. ; hut, notwithstanding this circumstance, the place appears to Out, after repeated examinations, to afford all re quisite hicilities for mom entrance to the volleyd canal, and for the construction of substantial piers for the protection of shipping re sorting 'Miller. _ . A harbour form herr would be without all the dangers which beset die entrance to the river Mixt, excepting only the Core Sand. on the Outer ductility of which a buoy must be placed. The fl at of mud a ithin the Wick Hocks is now used °minimally by small vessels, who there deliver and receive their cargoes of coal, kelp, fie. l'esneln cooling from the tionliward may always at about half tide nao; tht. tall of the time Sand, and by doing so would make a straight MUM into the entrance of the proposed har bour; and easels from the westward would hare no dilhetdty or danger of any kind to encounter in entering it. I:aptain Nielioiln litre points out the various advantages of this undertaking, and ryfurs to several localities in proof of his opinion. The Belson then proceeds to point out the benefits of the proposed Barbour at Beer, in the English Channel, arid answers the ob jections raisyd to it by the following remarks:—As an outlet from the ship Canal, 'anal, nun:flee the proponcil !without at Deer perfertly unexceptionable. and it pow-sifts advantages in this respect, which it would perli4is be in vain to look for elsewhere. All the of jog. which have ever burn mined against it, appear to hinge on the sopposed prevalence of soutlit•rly winds, during which, it has been conwralal, rensels will find it difficult to work nut of Seaton Bay, and the groat Bay without it. The fact. however, is, that the wind ran ly bluer !unite acne* the Inglish or Bristol Channels, either front the northward or the southward, and scarcely ever tiw any long continuance, but rather, as has been before stated, it mistimes the direction of the resist : If, however, It shall happen to blow so strong at south or south-east, that a vessel cannot get out of the harbour, I am quite sure thin she will he in a Kure situation there, until it 1110‘11.111itil, than outside in the ('hand. I think that the proponent harbour at liver, when it shall lie completed, ac:onling to the pre sent plan, will become a plaee of conmderablz resort, as an asylum harbourfor co:intent and other reline!' navigating the English Channel. Snell a harbour is much wanted, as at present there is no place of shelter ramie the whole coast. (min Portland 10 the Start, and vi.snels embared between these points, in strong south easterly gale+, are exposed its hanard. Captain Nicholls thus conelades his oletervations:—Among the natural advantage% of Ileer Barbour inlay be reckoned a plentiful supply of water, which issues out from under White Point. this might be conducted along the Eastern Pier, and would serve to supply any number of vessels with water, in the shorty,t time, um, in the most convenient manner possible. hir ing war, the facility of twoettring a supply of water in such a situa tion would he an important accammetlation to spur fleets and cru;.:ers ae.l as the water le peculiarly tine, and keeps remarkably well at rya, the proeurtng a supply of it here woithl proliably eon day; to the health of tile crews, us well as to a saving of fiat': and eilsetisse.

THE DEFICIENCVI)F WATER AT TIIF LATE FIRES. The Report of the Itridge.llimae Committee was then brought up and read. It stated, that in consequence of the complaints which had been made, on the occasion of the late firs, of the inadequate supplies of water, it was referred to them to examine those allegations, and to enquire in what manner the contract made by th e rnyporation with the New River ',impostor, for the supply, of the city with water, had been performed. The Committee had applied to the various Fire Insuranee Carmisanits on the subject, anil had received considerable information and examined a large body of evidence. The result of all these inquiries, confirmed by an admission of the New River Contpany itself, was, that there bad been an occasional want of water. The Report then recited the amount of the daily supply of water in the city (214,000 hogsheads) and the size of the principal pipes 0110110 • hich it was conveyed. The New River Company had erected a steam engine at Broken Wharf, for the more complete supply of various parts of the city. But the 'nominee were unanimously of opifion that the want of water at the several fires was occasioned by the imperfect nature of many load regulations, for which the New River l'orupany was not answerable, and that in fact they had duly performed their contract with the city. The want of water lately esperiencetl was chiefly attributable to the non-observance of the 'military regulation of the Building Act, which required that the situation of lire-pugs should I be marked by signs properly placed. It also enacted penalties fox' the neglect of this and other salutary regulations. The Report re. commended that the parish officers should be directed to enforce the regulations of that Act in every instance. There was also a greet defrieney of fire-cocks, and they recommended that an additional number should he put down. Fire-corks were much none name. nient than plugs ; and tiny recommended the adoption of the ceche in preference to pliq.s, where it was practicable. The New River Company, although they haul, prptrly, nothing to do with the plari, were willing to assist the parish officers in putting down additional plugs or rock., wherever they were deemed rtsiut. site. The water had often mil to w:ure down the t,•ratings at the coat of the streets, in consequence of the want of materials to stop them up readily. The 4inintittee recontinesided that tarrauling for the purpose should be kept at convenient stations, together with keys of the fire-plugs, Mr. Fayst.t. stated, that the motion for inr,airy bad been pro ductive of information, which he thought should be circulated as ex tensively as possible. Ile therefore inoved, That the Report should be printed, and a copy sent round to each menther of the (oust. They would then have a better opportunity of considering it. A blember compleined of the want 01 discipline amongst the firemen. It would be a very ashtray thing if they were placed under the command of a praper officer. It frequently happened that there was supply only tor OW or two engines, and that a ' dozen or more competed for it, and defeated each other. hlr. Cave s r.l contended that the Report should be immediately ! adopted. Alderman IVAITIIMAN &VW no reason for delaying it, and said the Committee were unanimous. A mum th hate took place on this point. when it TM tillifmtell carried that the Report should he agreed to, and the rvcominuola tions therein contained carried into effect. 1111111 BAILIFF' It?

I have now to inform you of a most fatal accident which has Led iency! here this evening. About six o'clock the neighbourhood of Portland-street was dreadfully alermed by a sudden and violent explosion, which shook the houses, and shattered the windows in all directions. It appears to have been the bursting of a steani-boiler, tactic(' to a machine shop in Major-street, near Portland street, occupied by Windsors and Hyde. The whole building was blown up, and with it several of the work men. The first report was, that ten were killed, and many more wou n ded; but I endeavoured to get at the truth as far as pasailliss 1 aesordingly wenNe-liaajor-invers, and saw the rutile, surrounded by the military, and persons holding lighted emetics; workmen were busily employed in removing the bras, &e. and searching for bodies; 'hut at the time I write (9 r.m.), it is impossible to ascertain the full extent of the accident. I went to the Volunteer Tavern, and saw the dead body of an aged man, dread fully disfigured by bruises anal burns ; his mouth was full of ashes, a large hole in his cheek, and his body cut in several places. I then went to our Infirmary. to which had been conveyed six men ; 1 found two dead; a third just expiring, and, according to the opinion of the sur geons, little or no hopes were tube entertained of the reco very of two more. One of them was shockingly scalded : SeTtl:l have been carried to their own homes, but ;lie number of those it is hullos:Able yet to say. vs i • I'_ TITLE OF ESQUIRE. We copy the following note from a work entitled .{.err Allan. tool other 7alrs, recently published:— " I cannot refrain from making a note here, to remark the great increase that has taken place of late ,cars in that class of society which is called gentlemanly. Sir Thomas Smyth makes the following complaint of the growth of mushroom titles in hit days (Fee ('.an ?ironer. ye Eng. h. I. c. 'lo). As for gentlemen, they be made good cheap in this kingdom ; for whosoever studieth the laws of the realm, who studieth in the Universities, who professeth liberal sciences, and (to be short) who can live idly, and Is ithout manual labour, and will bear the port. charge, and countenance of a gentleman, he shall be called Master, and shall be taken for a Gentleman. What would Sir Thomas say, did he live now ? he would find, without being accompanied with any of the ' port, charge, and countenance, the tide he wrote about, and that of Esquire (Sir Edward Coke, by the bye, coofounds them both to— gether) as common amongst us at empty purees. The former designation, to be sure, is somewhat exploded, and the Litter has become the general mark of honour for all those idle and affected individuals whose fathers were to unwise as not to bring them up to an industrious and useful calling. Camden, the learned Herald, took seine pains to define the nature of • red and rightful Esyui, r. lle makes four sorts as fidlows:— " I. The eldest sons of Knights and their eldest sons in pope sal atticCeSSitql. The china sons of younger sons of Peers, and their eldest sons in like perpetual succession ;Inas.; calls both of these species of Esquir, a nrmigcri natalitii, u he deno. minates the sons themselves of Peers armigeri honurarii. " 3. Esquires created by the King's letters patent or other investiture, and their eldestsons. Of this class were the Fsiuira of Me Kieg, who on their creation had put about their necks a collar of S. S. and a pair of silver spurs was bestowed on them ; they were wont to bear before the Prince in war a shield or lance. In t:aindeu's time there were four Esquires the K RoJy, to attend on his Mrjo , ty's person ; such officers are now out of fashion. " 4. Esquires by virtue of their offices and others who bear any office of trust under the Crown, if styled Esquires in their comtnissions and appointments. " Barristers, it seems, by ancient usage, arc amounted Esquires ; and not many years ago, the Court of Common Plea,' refused to hear an affidavit read, because a Barrister nainrd in it was not cal.ica &quire. Front the best atitho rait-: however, it appears that this title was originally at tained by usurpation ; and in the saute manner, according to the rules of precedence, Banisters rank before all Esquires. I remember that my good old father, some years since exprtssed himself with considerable warmth on this important nutter. I hatUttet returned to the country front keeping my first term at Lincoln's Inn, wh " • letfer from a legal friend, who dubbed me " I lee. boy, (said the oh! gentleman, as hr rielict) Esquire Waved! flow absurd it is to title. Why, 1 should have no right to it but Peace; even a Barrister, Sir, is tiot a retroc,ni , is nut acknowledge-I as such in either of tli any letters patent ; and it is ridiculous to ing precedence of the gentry of the hi sition just then to mot the point with my agreed with him that the proper place as , I '?t tltlt bite? all other lisquiret." 11 I then I rcceiv'd a / • :n: E hande:iqumireiz to give you inch a that I am in the niatil Esquire; hr twitter, or by think of his tak- ' I felt no (lisp°- . good father, and o of the Barrister • 1
