Alders. gate - s reet, the the purpose of " considering the expediency of es. tablishing a Company for supplying the Metropolis with. pure Water from the River Thames." It was resolved— That it has long been matter of just complaint throughout the metropolis. that the supply of water is of inferior quality for do mestic use, besides being uncertain, and very genera ll y insufficient for the ordinary consumption. That this uncertainty and insufficiency have occasioned numerous anti heavy losses of property, by reason of the impassibility of ob. tai a supply of wat.e in coact of fire, for many hours after the arrival of engines. That it is most essential to the safety of the inhabitants of this great metropolis, that there sbuuld be It boundless and constant supply of water, and equally so to their comfort and health that it should be of unexceptionable purity. That in consequence of the great increase of population in the neighbourhood of London and IVesmiinster, and the establishment of manufactories of various kinds on the banks of the Thames, by which the stream is constantly polluted and rendered iinwholesoroc, it is impossible to draw a supply of pura water from any part of the river near to the metropolis. That Mr. Philip Taylor, having laid before this meeting the re- salt of the surveys, and the estimate which he has prepared by ceder of the promoters of this undertaking, it is the opinion of this meeting, that, by the adoption of the plan proposed, by him, a boundless supply of water, drawn from a part of the river Thames so distant as to preclude the possibility of pollution, may be fa. nished even to the attics of the highest situations in the metro. pulls, that in the rent of fire that supply sill always be instantly arsilsble in every part of the town, and may be carried in an over. wheln:ing column to the top of the highest houses, even without the aid of fire-engines t and further, that it appears likely that this plan may be carried into execution at an expense which would en able the Company to furnish the supply upon terms in no case r anting those of other Companies, and in many cases, and particu larly where the water is carried to any considerable height, at much lower rates than are now charged, and also secure to the Proprietors a libeml return for the capital to be invested. That application be made to Parliament, at the next Session, for an Acs to incorporate a Joint Stock Company, under the title of ' " The Thames Water Company." to carry into effect these im portant objects. That the Capital of the said Company be 750,000 L, to be raised by transferrable shares of lON. each, with poser to increase the same; and that a deposit of 21. per share be paid at the time of subsaibing ; and that Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Halifax, Glyn, and Co., Ond Sir Walter Stirling, Bart. and Co., be authorized to re. mire the same. That the concerns of the Company be managed beTwenty.four Directors. to be hereafter chosen by the body of Proprietors. That Mr. Philip Taylor be appointed Engineer to the Company, and that he be requested forthwith to prepare the estimates and de. tails which are further necessary. That it be referred to a Committee of Management to investigate the (nether details and estimates, and to take such other steps r may appear to them to be necessary. That the following Gentlemen do rum each Committee, with power to add to their numbers:— Sir Edward Banks Wm. Routh, Esq. Thomas Brunton, Esq. Edmond W. Rundell, Esq. James Burton, Esq.

The herring fishing on the North and East coasts is now about over for the season. Though the take has of date been pretty good. yet the aggregate taken will fall short of that of last year fully 60,000 harrcL-. This deficiency will, however, be, in so far, made up by the favourable fishing which has been, for a fortnight past, round the island of Skye, and the lochs and inlets in the West Highlands.— Glasgow Chronicle.

The rage for superannuatetiWine is one of the most ridi culous vulgar errors of modern epicurism ; the " bees wing," " thick crust on the bottle," "loss of strength," &e. which wine fanciers consider the beauty of their tawny 6- yourite," fine old port," are forbidding manifestations of de composition, and the departure of some of the best qua!itit of the wine. The age of maturity for the exportation from Oporto, is said to be the second year after thevintage (probably some times not quite so long). Our wine-merchants keep it in wood from two to six years longiir, according to its originel strength, &c. ; surely this must be long enough to do all that can he done by keeping it ; what crude wine it must be to requir even this time to ameliorate it, the necessity for which must arise either from some error in the original manufacture, or a false taste, which does not relish it till time has changed its ori ginal characteristics. Port, like all other wines, ripen; in a short or longer time, according to its lightness or its strength ; the quality of the grapes, according to the fermentation they have un dergone, and the portion of brandy that has been added to it ; also one cellar will forward wine much sooner than atm thee. Sound good port is generally in perfection when it has been from three to five yeari in the wood, and from one to three in bottle. Ordinary port is a very uncicansed, fretful wine; an-I we have been assured, by wine-merchants of good taste. accurate observation, and extensive experience, that the best port is rather impoverished than improved, by bein,; kept in bottle longer than two years, i. e. supposing it to have been previously from two to four years in the cask in this country, observing, that all that the outrageous advo cates for " via passe" really know about it is, that tins , y is yellow, and port is black, and that if they drink tune Li of either of them, it will make than drunk. White wines, especially sherry and Madeira, being more perfectly fermented, an , l thoroughly fined before they are bottled—tf kept in a cellar of uniform temperature, ale not so rapidly deteriorated by age. The temperature of a good cellar is nearly the same throughout the year. Omble doors help to preserve this; it must be dry, and be kept as clean as possible. The art of preserving wines is to prevent them front fret ting, which is done by keeping them in the ,amc of heat and careful corking, and in a cellar where they will not be agitated by the motion of carriages passing. If per sons wish to preserve the tine flavour of their wines, they ought on no account to permit any bacon, cheese, onions, potatoes, or cider in their wine-cellars; or, if there be any disagteeable stench in the cellar, the wine will indubitably imbibe it; consequently, instead of being fragrant ara charming to the nose and palate, it will be extremely d;s agreeable.—E coonmist. Tat;ao Itscre.—A vast concourse of people of all de scriptions, on foot, on horseback, in carts and carriages, assembled on Tuesday last in a field about two miles from Truro, on the Bodmin road, to witness the novel spectacle of a horse-race. In a race between Captain ll'ightman hr. h. and Captain Gilbert's b. m. Potteen, Captain Car thew rode Captain Wightman's br. h., and Captain Gil bert, Pottcen. In ihis race the attention of the field rm.; universally drawn to the easy and elegant style of Captain Carthew's riding, when, on turning a sharp corner, on a descent ncar the winning-post, his horse stumbled ; Capt. 01.:arthew was thrown with considerable violence over b.s. head, and so great was the shock, that the unfortunate gen tleman was immediately deprived of sense and motion. The most intense anxiety now prevailed : happily four medical gentlemen were present, who pressed torward render their assistance. Captain Carthew was bled, and, on recovering a little, was conveyed from the ground in a carriage. The medical gentlemen have been unremittin•7, in their attendance, but we are extremely sorry to observe, that doubt' were entertained yesterday of Copt:on Carthew's recovery. As may be imagined, so melancholy an accident threw a gloom over the rest of the transactions of the day. Cornwall Gx:ette.
