MADAM, if AM happy to see in the Reading Paper an 11- Advertisement of STIRACIA'S ITALIAN OILS. Not advertising them for several years, I was afraid that your time was so taken up with the Soothing Syrup, that you had given up the Oils. If you think proper to make mention of my name you may do so with pleasure. I had, when a child, very little hair on rate side of my head, and when I was fourteen it was quite bald. about the tize of a crown piece, and remained so for several years. Having an aunt in London, who had tried your Oils in her family, and found great benefit in the use of them, she sent me two pots of Stiracia's Oils. Before I had used one I had the pleasure of finding my hair beginning to grow, and two pots quite restored it. It is seventeen years since I used the Oils, and my hair continues the same on the part that was bald as on the other part of my head, and still keeps its natural colour. JAMES FROST.

Two of the Officers will be removed to other regiments, and we hope alt that has passed will hays the effect of re storing harmony to a regiment always remarked for its gallantry in the fief I, (From the Paper of Aug. 26.) Letters have been received in Kingston, announcing Sir John Keane's intention of returning to resume the com mand of the troops in Jamaica. GENERAL COURT MARTIAL. A General Court Martial assembled at Morant Bay, on the 26th, for the trial of Lieut. Trutch, of the St. Tho mas in the East Regiment, fur unoffieer-like conduct in obstructing the Marshal of the regiment in the execution of his duty in levying a warrant against that Officer for militia fines. The Court was composed of the following Officers Lieut.-Colonel Cockburn, of the Surrey Regiment of Ilor,e, President ; Major Berwick, of the St. Thomas in the East Regiment ; Scott, ditto ; Cosens of the Portland Regiment; Captain Watson, ditto ; Orgila, ditto ; M‘Ken zie, of the St. Thomas in the East Regiment ; Le Gourge, of the Portland Regiment ; Longe, of the St. Thomas in in the East Regiment; M`Cornock, ditto; Chisholm, of the Surrey Regiment; Codrington, of the St. Thomas in the East Regiment ; Brands, ditto; Turner, ditto. The Court, after a patient investigation (which lasted two days), found Lieutenant Trutch guilty, and sentenct-d him to pay a fine of 101. and admonished him to be more circumspect in his conduct for the future. It is said that the judiciuus economy of the late Lord HARRINGTON has enabled him to enrich his successor to the amount of 20,0001. per annum. --Brighton Gazette. We understand that it is the intention of Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON to go shortly to Italy, where (aud not at Brighton, as the papers have stated,) he will condom to reside for some time.-- Brighton Gazette. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 5, 18129. MIDDLESEX WATER-IVORKS COMPANY. The hall-yearly genera! assembly of the Proprie tors of this Company was hell on uesday at their House in I3erners•street, Oxford -street, for the pur pose (amongst other matters) of receiving a report from the Directors of the proceedings which took place in consequence of the appointment of Com missioners to inquire into the supply of water to the metropolis. The meeting was numerous and highly respectable. At twelve o'clo c k, T. A. GREEN, 'Esq. (Chair man of the Company,) took the chair. After which, Mr. KNIGHT, the Secretary (having first read the advertisement for calling the meeting,) proceeded to read the report of the Directors. After adverting to the proceedings of the last meeting, the report went on to say, that— " Though no complaint was found to exist in any part of the district supplied by the West Middlesex Company, either as to the quantity or quality of tl4e water, or the management of the trinirtiliY, and it had been clearly probed that the part of the Thames from which the supply of this company was obtained was considerably beyond the limits denominated by the Commissioners `The London District,' and even beyond the reach of the reflux of the tide water, those distinguishing features were, nevertheless en tirely overlooked in the re p orts ma d e on t h e occa sion by the Commissioners and the Select Commit tee, and also in the observations which were shortly afterwards made in the House of Commons relative to the water companies." The Report then went on to observe, that the Directors, on the 12th of May, called the attention o f th e Right Hon. Secretary to these matters, and also to a previous letter on the same subject dated the 17th of March, of which no notice had been taken. (This letter was read at a former meeting.) To these letters no answer was received till the 23d of June, when the following communication was addressed to the Directors:— " Whitehall, Ju ne 22, 1829. " Gentlemen,—On the termination of Parlia mentary business my attention has been recalled to those important questions connected with the supply of water to the metropolis, which have recently un dergone consideration in the House of Commons, which have been the subject of the reports of a commission appointed by the Crown and a Com mittee of the House of Commons, and which, I have no doubt, wiil again form a topic of serious dis cussion so soon as Parliament shall resume its labours in another session. A reference to what has already passed upon this subject, and a deep con viction of its importance to the health and comfort of the inhabitants of the metropolis, have induced me to make the following communication to each of the three Companies which are concerned in the supply of that district of the metropolis which lies to the north of the Thames and the west of Totten ham Court-road. " I am desirouß, in the first instance, of cAlling your attention to the Report of the commission ap pointed by the Crown, consisting of three gentlemen of very high eminence in their respective professional avocations—Dr. Roget, Mr. Braude, and Mr. Telford. " That Report states, that in the opinion of the Commissioners, the supply of water to the metro polis is susceptible of, and requires, improvement ; that many of the complaints respecting the quality of the water are well founded ; and that it ought to be derived from other sources than those now resorted to, and guarded by such restrictions as shall at all times insure its cleanliness and purity. " The Report enutnerates the chief canes to which the impurity of the water at present supplied may be attributed ; among which are the following,—the increase of certain manufactures, among which those of coal-gas are most prominent, polluting the river by their refuse ; the constant passage of steam-boats, by which the mud is stirred up ; the position of the suction-pipes of the engines; belonging to some of the companies, in regard to the mouths of the sewers; the quantity of dead animals thrown into the river in and about London, and the contamination of the river by the offal of slaughter houses. " The Report of the Commissioners adds, that if the general quality of the river water be objection able, within the whole of the district whence the supplies for the metropolis are drawn, remedies for local evils become comparatively unimportant, and although these diminish as we ascenl the river, their influence, with that of the other contaminating causes, will be more or less felt, nearly to the ex tent to which the tide reaches. " It appears to me that this report of the Com missioners is calculated to confirm and increase the apprehensions of the public with regard to the impure and possibly the insalubrious quality of the water at present supplied, and that it constitutes a strong ground for immed'ate and serious inquiry, whether a purer supply may not be obtained at a reasonable expence. " In the result of that inquiry the existing water companies have a deep interest. If it shall esta blish the fact that no better supply from new sources can be procured than the present, except at a cost which would render the attempt useless, the public companies will be relieved from unjust complaints and odium, and will be enabled to consider the best .mode of improving the present supply by filtration, or other means of purification. " lf, on the other hand, it shall warrant a strong presumption that at a moderate cost water of a purer quality than the present can be drawn from new sources of supply, the existing companies will have a great advantage over any new establishments which can be formed, in distributing such water to the metropolis, and would have a fair claim to a preference in being the instruments of distributing it at a reasonable charge. " With reference to the supply of water, the me tropolis tnay be considered as divided into three dis tricts,—the north of the Thames and west of Tot tenham-court-road, the north of the Thames and east of Tottenham•court-road, and the district south of the Thames, including Lambeth, Southwark, and the adjoining parishes. " The first of these districts derives its supply from the three companies to which the present com• munication is addressed, and I apprehend that each of these companies would be enabled, by an ar rangement made among themselves, to deliver to the inhabitants of each portion .of the district which they respectively supply at present, the water that might be derived from any new source, supposing such to be discoverable, and to be available within reasonable limits of expense. " For the purpose of determining whether an im proved supply of water can be furnished at a mode rate charge, I propose that a competent engineer should be selected by the Government to make the necessary surveys, and to report whether a sufficient quantity of water for the use of the north-western part of the metropolis can be taken, either from the Thames above Richmond, or from the river Goitre, and what would be the probable cost of taking it from either of those sources. And that the expense of making such surveys and estimates should be borne by the Companies which now supply the district of the metropolis above referred to, either by equal contributions towards the expense, or by such proportionate contributions as may be agreed on by the Companies. ' " A copy of this letter has been addressed by me to the Chairman and Directors of the Chelsea Water Work sCompany,and the Grand Junction water works Company, and I beg to surest the exped'e icy of an early conference On the part of the three Water Companies upon the subject. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) " ROBERT PEEL. " The Chairman and Directors of the West Middlesex Water Works Company." To this letter the Directors sent the following reply: Olhee of West Middlesex Water Works, 13erners-street, July 9, 1829. " The Board of Directors of the West Middlesex Water Works Company, in reply to the letter, dated the 22d ult., which the Right Hon. the Secretary of State did them the honour to address to them on the subject of the supply of • water to the western part of the metropolis, beg leave to state, that al thoiigh no complaints were found to exist in any part of the populous districts which they supplied, either as to their management of their works, or to quitttity or quality of .the .water, yet they had nevertheless attentively watched the pr )ceedinp consequent on the late complaints made against other Water Companies, and had also read and fully considered the evidence obtained, and the reports made by the Commis,ioners appointed by the Crown, and the Committee of the House of Com mons relative thereto; and they were gratified to find that their customers were fully satisfied with the supply they received, and that the analysis of the men of science to whom the subject had been referred, had proved the water supplied by the West Middlesex Company to be equally pure with the water taken at any higher part of the Thames, the impurities of the London drainage not flowing within one and a half or two miles of that river. " Long experience had taught the Company that the health and comfort of the public required that water used for doMestic purposes should be soft and pure,—quali:ies rarely found in the water derived from springs or small rivers ; and it is manifest that water collected, after heavy rains, in large reser voirs, similar to that at Ruislip, near Watford, though clear, becomes stagnant and impure, and therefore unfit for culinary purposes. " The Board of Directors, hating a due regard to the health and comfort of the great number of per sons who take water of the West Middlesex Com pany, and to the interest of the large body of Pro prietors whom they represent, do not feel justified in incurring the risk or expense of seeking any other source of supply than the Thames, being confident that though the source may be changed, it cannot be improved. " It being obvious, however, that the waters of all rivers in times of heavy rains and floods must be come discoloured, the Directors of the West Mid dlesex Company, desiring to anticipate rather than to follow the wishes of the public, have lately, at a great expense, placed the Company in a situation entirely to remove even this defect : they have pur chased a large Itract of land, containing filtering matter, at Barnes, on the southern bank of the Thames, immediately opposite their works, which, converted into reservoirs and aqueducts, will afford the means of supplying the whole of the western parts of the metropolis with bright and pure Ivatcr at all times; and they have given notice to all the other water companies that this source of supply is open to any one or all of them, either on the north or south side of the river. "' The 'Westtliddlesex Company riot teing com plained of, and having already done so much, dots not consider itself in the same circumstan►•e as the companies who take their supplies near public sewers or within the reach of the London drainage ; and the Directors cannot, therefore, with propriety, rip ply the funds of the West Middlesex Company in speculative attempts to remedy the defects of other Companies, more especially as they have offered, and are still willing, to give every reasonable facility to any Company desirous of availing itself of the ad vantages possessed by the West Middlesex Company. " The Directors, therefore, again respectfully beg to call the attention of the Right Hon. Secretary of State to the plan submitted to him in their letter of the 17th of March last, to which no reference ap pears in his letter of the 22d ult. to have been made, being fully confident that they at present possess the means of giving a supply of water to any extent of a quality in every respect unexceptionable, and their plan is equally applicable should it at any future period be thought desirable to draw a supply either from Richmond or Teddington; but the Directors feel persuaded the facts before stated, and the result of Dr. Bostock's analysis, p. 82, of the Report of the Commissioners appointed by the Crown, will supersede the necessity of any measures of the kind being had recourse to, exclusive of the known fact that even in times of hcay rains and floods the water is much less turpid at Barnes than either at Rich mondor Teddington. The Directors in conclusion beg to repeat, that a deputation of Directors would be happy to wait on the Right Hon. Secretary, should any verbal or other information be required. " By order of the Board of Directors, (Signed) THOMAS A. GREEN, Chairman. " To the Right Hon. Robert Peel, his Majesty's Secretary of State, &c., &c., &c." The Report added, that the Directors had not since been fivourcd with any further communication on this subject from the Home-oflice. The Report went on to state, that after this a conference was requested with the Directors by those of the Grand Junction Water Company, which (for the reasons stated in the letter to Mr. Peel) was declined by the former. Some letters were then read, which passed be tween the two companies on this subject, but they were not of any importance, The Report added— "It being now generally known that several water companies have it in contemplation to deliver at all times bright water, and to remove all ground of complaint its their several districts, and that steps have actually been taken at great expence by some of them for that purpose, the Directors of this Company have had also under consideration preli minary measures for securing from the Barn Elms' estate a supply of clear water in times of heavy rains and flOOds, the only time in which complaint can with propriety be made against the water which it delivers. The details of these further works are not yet sufficiently matured to lay before the Court; but the Proprietors may rely upon their prudence in not engaging in any great outlay of capital without the certainty of its effecting the object contemplated." In conclusion the Report referred the Proprietors to the half-yearly statement of finance and to the auditors' reports, and recommended a dividend of 30s. per share payable in January. The finance statement and the auditors' reports were then real, and some short discussion arose out of them, but as they related solely to the private affairs of the company, and had no bearing on that part of the qu es ti on i n w hi c h t h e pu bli c i s i ntereste d , we omit them. It Was observed with reference to the contem plated plan of the company taking its water as high up the river as Barn Elms, that if they went up higher, they would be exposed to the refuse of the gas works at Brentford. The SECRETARY here remarked, that it was a very great, and he feared a general mistake, to suppose• that the refuse of any gas works was discharged into the Thames. It might have been so at first; but there was now a penalty of 200/. against the owners of such works for every time they should permit their refuse to be discharged into the PRICE 7n. Thames. A great deal of what was at first throwr %way was now converted into tar, and the rest was old for other useful purposes, so that no part of it s%vem into the river. Mr. WARE expressed a hope, that as no:fault was found with the supply of water given by the com pany, and as it was proved by experiment to be as pure as the water taken up at Richmond or Ted dington, they (the Proprietors) would resist any at tempt, no matter from what quarter, to interfere wit► their property, by compelling them to take water from any company which should take its water higher up. It was admitted that the water was, in times of heavy rains and consequent floods, tur bid—an objection which would lie against water taken from any part of the river at such seasons; but the company had dotie,and were still doing, all in their power to correct that, by the erection of a large reservoir at Barrow-hill, which would always be filled with a supply of pure and clear water. Under these circumstances, he traated that-no in terference would take place, unless it could be clearly proved (which he much doubted) that the public would be greatly benefitted by it. Another PROPRIETOR observed, that even if a com pa►.y should be formed to take water from the river Colne, he could not see how they could escape from having occasionally turbid water, and when they had, they considered it only by such means as this company had already adopted. A new company could not be formed for the purposes alluded to at less than a quarter of a million of money expense. The CHAIRMAN.-It would cost a million. PROPRIETOR.—Then the objection ►would be greater, for the expense would come at last upon the public, ►who will not bc benelitted by it any thing like that proportion. Mr. WALKER observed, that if the Legislature interfered, and insisted on another mode of supply ing the public with pure water, it would be useless to resist. He would therefore suggest, that no great expense should be gone to by the company in its experiments at Barn Elms, until the intentions of the Legislature should be known. The CHAIRMAN said, that as Mr. Peel had de clared that the Government was not disposed to ad vance any money for the suggested company, it ►would be extremely diaictilt to get capitalists to subscribe the sum necessary. However, the Pro prietors might rest assured, that the experiments at Barn Elms were not conducted on any expensive scale, and that no expensive outlay should take place until the intentions of Government ►were known, and then not ►without the sanction of the Proprietors. In the mean time, nothing would be omitted to make the supply of water from their pre sent sources as pure as possible. Mr. WARE, alluding to a subject which he ob served had been frequently mentioned in some of the public papers,—namely, that ►when the new London•bridge should be completed, and the old one removed, the reflinc of the London drainage ►would go up much higher than it does at present — mentioned some experiments that had been made, the result of ►which showed that the reflux London tide did not go up within a mile and a half of the spot from which the Company takes its ►water. The SECRETARY then . read some extracts from the evidence taken before the Committee of the House of Commons, in proof of what was . stated by Mr. Ware; and it appeared further, that the re flux London tide does not flow to within two miles and a half of the place from which the Company proposes to take its water, should their intended arrangement be carried into effect. After some farther discussion on the subject, the report was agreed to and ordered to be entered on the minutes. Thanks were then voted to the Directors for their zeal and diligence in managing the affairs of the Company, after which the meeting broke up. [ln the course of the day some short conversation arose as to the propriety of allowing reporters to re main in the room; but it seemed to be the general opinion of the opinion of the meeting, that as there was nothing in their proceedings which they desired to conceal, they could have no objection to an ac count of them going before the public.] THE SPANISH REFUGEES. (From the Times.) We have inserted a curious, and, to us, a highly interesting letter from an individual who signs himself " Juan de Vega ;" and who, un der that fictitious name, has, by dint of inge nuity and unwearied benevolence, amassed, as we must term it, a sum of 581., which he has handed over to the Committee of Spanish Offi cers for the relief of the unhappy men who have lately arrived from Portugal. There is a spirit of adventure and a display of talent connected with this extraordinary contribution, which will recommend, we trust, the cause so powerfully succoured by Signor Juan. de Vega to the tastes of those among our countrymen on whose hearts it has hitherto not had the good fortune to make more than a slight impression. The letter is addressed to the Committee of Spanish Gen tlemen :- " Gentlemen,—Without the slightest feelings of disrespect for you and your brave compatriots, I personated a Spanish minstrel with the name of Senor Juan de Vega, and also assumed the very honourable distinction of an entigrado of Spain, dur ing the late much-lamented recent political disturb ances in that quarter. " To my wanderings throligh Great Britain and Ireland, I collected about .584, which (as I ori ginally intended to dispose of the gains attending this trip for the benefit of your fallen countrymen) I conceive would be most usefully employed in the relief of those unfortunate emigrados for 11'hom you have so becomingly made yourselves a Committee; and I beg leave to transmit this sun to your charge for this particular purpose. " In the name of my assumed character, I must beg leave respectfully to subscribe myself, " Gentlemen, your obedient humble servant, " Oct: '3l. • " JUAN DE VEGA.

RETIREMENT OF THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE...-..The correspondent of Hamburg states that the report is spread at 1%-layence that a foreign Prince is about to purchase a large-estate in the Rhenish pro vinces, and establish there- his future residence. It is added that the climate of the northern countries, which he has inhabited until now, is little favourable to the deli cate health of his wife, and that this consideration has de cided the Prince to renounce the active functions he has hitherto exercised (as Viceroy of Poland), in order that he may enjoy all the sweetness of a private life in the bosom of his family. INQUEST.—CHILD MURDER.—On Sunday an inquest was held by Mr. PAISLEY, senior coroner of the county, at Clinken, near Bray, on the body of a male infant, about three weeks old. One witness de posed, that on the preceding morning- while she was in bed, she heard a woman cry out " murder, murder," at the same time clapping Ler hands. The witness, how ever, did not then get out of bed. Some time afterwards the child was found dead in a field. Part of a grinder handkerchief was stuffed into the child's mouth, and the remainder of it tightly twisted round his neck, by which means he was choaked or strangled.

Russia celebrates a glorious peace. Two quarters of the world have cons'antly re sounded with your victories; the numerous forces of an enemy who made an obsibette resistance have been annihilated at all points, and before yon has vanished the ancient renown of these impicgnAle ramparts, which, before you, never knew.,a cow queror. Boldly passing chains of almost impervi ous mountains, and striking the enemy even in his most inaccessible retreats, you have constrained him, at the very gates of Constantinople, solemnly to acknowledge his inability to oppose your valour. You have equally distinguished yourselves by your moderation towards the vanquished ; by your cona duct to the peaceable inhabitants of the countries subdued by your arms, in offering them protection and friendship; by the strict observance tsf tire moat exemplary order and the strictest discipline; lastly, by the scrupulous fulfilment of all your duties. It . is thus that you have shown yourselves worthy of the name of Russian soldiers. Desiring to recompense so many eminent services rendered by you to the throne and the country, I order all those who have taken part in the military operations against the Turks in the campaign of 1828 and 1829, to wear, suspended to the riband of the Order of St. George, the medal which I have just instituted for the war in Turkey. May this mark of honour be for ever a refytii meat of your glory and of my gratitude : may it for the future a new pledge of the fidelity of yott services! St. Petersburg'', Ist (13th) Oct. 18/9.

When we lately took occasion to put our readers in posstssion of some particulars of the Ktuolt health, we stated that the probability then was that his MAJESTY'S expected visit to Brighton would not take place, but that circumstances might occur to change the deterthination on that point. We now learn that the in•. tended excursion will certainly take place, anti that al. Most immediately. This arrangement was definitively adopted during the last visit of Sir HENRY TIALFogia itt Windsor, which, as we already stated, took place on Saturday last. The KING leaves Windsor fur Brighton with as little delay as circumstances will admit, as his visit to the sea coast is not intended to exceed the duration of a month. His MAJESTY is fixed in his resolution of spending his Christmas at Windsor Castle, which is ex pected to exhibit all the Royal magnificence during that period of general festivity. The acconnnudatiwis to he prepared for the illustrious and Noble Guests who will be honoured by the Royal commands, are to be on the most extensive and sumptuous seale.—Morniv chronicle. When Mr. S. was on the Continent with Lord M., to whom he was travelling tutor, his Lordship fell desperately in love with a young lady, the daughter of au English physician. Mr. S. upon this wrote home to state what had occurred, in order that measures might be adopted to prevent so unequal a match. The Marchioness of C. wrote to express her gratitude for the communication which she had received; at the same time she conjured Mr. S. to use every means in his power to break off the acquaintance, and recommended as the most effectual step of all, that he himself should marry the lady, promising at the same time to remember and requite the important service in after life. The request was attended to, and Mr. S. became the husband of the young lady. The Marchioness did not prove ungrateful, and in the fulness of time Mr. S. became a Bishop.—Sunday A gang of sheep-stealers have lately been de tected at A:nport, near this town, whose depredations have so far exceeded any thing of the kind ever done be fore in that neighbourhood as to excite the most intense interest amongst the gentry and farmers, who are more particularly concerned. Sir Luctus Cums, Batt. and HENRY GAWLER, Esq. hare, in the moat praiseworthy manner; exerted themselves to the utmost in bringing this matter to light, and have fortunately (with the aid of the confessions of some of the parties implicated) succeed ed in committing fire of the offenders to the county gaol for trial at the next Assizes. It is a fact worthy of re mark, that no less thin eight sheep's heads were found in a well adjoining the house of one of the prisoners.—Hunts Chronicle.
