On Saturday a numerous Meeting of the Builders on the grounds of Coates, Drumsheugh, and others interested in the " refusal" of the Water Company to supply them with water, was held in the Royal Exchange Coffeehouse, for the purpose of receiving a Report of a Committee appointed by the builders—Deacon 'minx in the Chair. Sir PAT met WALKER, in opening the business, said, that to many of the (lentlemen present the object of the Meeting might probably appear selfish, but while the Committee con fined themselves to what more immediately affected their own patrimonial interests, they were conscious that almost all the builders in the neighbourhood were placed in a similar situa tion. The conduct, of which the builders on the lands com plained, materially affected the general good of the community. In discussing this subject it would be necessary to go back to the time when water was distributed to the citizens under the authority of the Magistrates. It was then the practice for the city authorities to lay main or service pipes. Th e Water Company came afterwards in the place of the Ma gistrates, and, for a considerable time, followed the same line of conduct. All went on cordially and with good faith, while the councils of the Water Company were guided by wisdom and the principles of equity. The proper duties of a Water C o mpany m u st be to provide th e publi c with a constant supply of th a t nec e ssary of life, water, a nd th a t out only be carried into effect by means of distribution pipes laid by the Company, who alone possess the power, in virtue of the Act of P ar l iament , to open t h e streets for that purpose.— He had had many commuications with Mr. Jardine and Mr. Stuart, as early as 1/119, on the subject of laying pipes in the streets on the grounds of Coates, the result of which was that several main or service pipes were laid underthe directions of the Water Company, with the understanding that that com pany would reimburse the builders of their outlay, as soon as it got the use of them by a return of revenue. Tins understand. mg was certainly not expressed its every case, though in all it wasimplied. Pipes were accordingly laid agreea ble to mo sta s pe cification furnished by the Water Company.— Thieve, howtrar, the Connally declined to pay for, even though it now derives a revenue from them of several hundred pounds per annum. In consequence of this refusal, some Individuals had raised actions in th e C ourt of Session, while others had deemed it necessary to call a general meeting of builders, in order that the subject might be fully di scussed, and proper measures adopted. With that vi ew a correspondence had been opened with the Water Company, and a report drawn up which would be submitted to the Meeting. Mr. IlExpitnsosi laid the report on the table, which was read. Mr. NVit.xtr was of opinion that the _grounds of the Earl of Moray should b e h e ld as i ncluded in the report, and a mi nute appended to that Sir p. WALXER said he had no objection, but it was almost unnecessary, because the facts and conclusions were the same in both cases. The builders on different grounds around Edinburgh. hav ing for their interests e x p resse d a similar wish with that of Mr. IVilkie, were included ; and it was agreed that the reso lutions proposed by the Coates builders should be adopted as the general resolutions of all the Edinburgh builders. The report was then unanimously approved of, ordered to be published, and a Committee appointed to watch over the inte rests of the builders. The thanks of the Meeting were unanimously voted to Sir P. Walker for the trouble h e bad taken, and to Deacon Thin for his conduct in the Chair. NEW WATmt COMPANY. immediately on Deacon Thin leaving the Chair, Mr. Bal. lantyne, agent for the Earl of M ora y, move d, th at f rom t h e absence of that Noble Lord, who intended to have been pre sent, Sir P. Walker be called to ,the Chair, and state the ob. jects of this meeting. This having been seconded, was unard moualy agreed to. Sir PATRICK WALKER began by stating, that this meeting was in great measure the consequence of the prec e di ng , an d took its rise from the circumstances which had already been de. tailed, but that it was necessary to keep them quite distinct from each other. The object of the present meeting was to de vise m easures f or th e additional comf or t o f the inhabitants of this city an d ne i g hb our h oo d, by procuring a m ore pl ent if u l supply of that indispensible necessary —water—at an easier and a cheaper rate than had hitherto been obtained. The great and rapid increase of the population, as well as the inadequacy of the present supply, were in themselves good reasons for sett ing on foot suc h an un d ertaking as a new Water Company. A temporary relief might be obtained, but nothing effectual or permanent could be done, unless by a New Company, which, whilst it would tend to check the spirit of monopoly, would serve the public at a lower rate than at present was charged for that valuable necessary. He had no doubt but the New Coin. pansy would receive the support as well as the thanks of the public. Similar circumstances had led to similar restate in London, for within these few days a friend of hie had put into his hand an advertisement from a London newspaper, contain ing the prospectus of the Thames Water Company, and as buying g rk Buildings, two up of the London Br that seemed to comprehend the principal objects this meetin g had in view, he would read it to them. The tenor was nea r ly as i f d 'o g ll e owc e " r . In Water Companies hawo con il ceased to exist, and th e e ff ect h ad been, that of leaving the principal part of the city at the me rc y o f one establishment for the supply of water. t rite se q and u entcheos ofe toht? the bu This ci rcumstance, added to the amazing number of additional buildings erect ed within these few years, and the rapid anti extensive man ner in which they are now proceeding, renders the present period extremely advantageous for the formation of a new Company. Sir P. then read a draft prospectus for the new company, which is to have a capital of 150,0001., divided into shares of 25/. each. To be managed by a Governor, Deputy -governor, Directors, and extraordinary Directors. It was proposed to include Leith, anti Sir Patrick said he had some communica tion with the Magistrates on the subject. They were favour able to the measure, but as it might take some little time to obtain the general opinion of the people of that place, it was proposed that the name of the company should not be inune diately fixed. Mr. NVii eitlE was doubtful if Lieth should be included, as it would pledge the company for a great expence from which an adequate benefit might not probably be derived. Another Gentleman wished the ancient Royal ty of the City to be included, for unless that was done, there would be no op position to the monopolizing spirit of tLe present company in that part of Edinburgh. Mr. BALLA NT YI,IE and Sir PATRICK 'WALKER thought it would be better to leave these matters of detail to a Commit tee, who would report to a general meeting of Subscribers, to be called for that purpose. A Committee was then appointed, and apwari s of 50,0001. was subscribed In the room. A ' • • 4 X 'NV . ••=w - 0 4 %030 • 6 UN. MR. FA UNTLEILOY. There appears to be a general feeling that this unfortunate man ought to be saved from an ignominious death ; and thin feeling has arisen, not from any momentary excitement, but from calm consideration of the circumstances of his case; because enough has already appeared, and much more important matter will necessarily be disclosed, which will demonstrate beyond all doubt that both the firms of Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Co., in Berners.strect, and of Marsh and Son, in Whitehall-place, mediately or immediately, have been fe d and sustained by the money obtained by these for. eerie{; that the individual parnets of these firms have more argely participated in them, for their personal benefit, than, it would appear, the unfortunate man himself, who is the legal ' victim. Assuming for a moment that the partners of these firms can be acquitted of any share in the criminal acts, how will they appear before the Lord Chancellor, the Commissioners, and the world, on the charges of gross negligence, of blind and deaf indifference as to the true sources from which these mys. terions ways and means were drawn during so many years, not only to support insolvent firms, but to supply the a l leg ed pro. fusion of the individuals connected with them P - In this state of affairs, the public will feel that the Batik hays ing most properly and effectively pursued Mr. Fauntleroy to conviction, may, in furtherance of their conscientious duties as Trustees, endeavour to avert the stroke of justice against him, by applying to the King to spare his life, that full disclosures may be ma de on all and every part of these uncommon transac. tjonti ; as such disclosures would be a better atonement to the world and to stern . justice, than prematurely taking away the life of a miserable man, over whom the real bitterness of death has passed, in the judicial proceedings th a t h a ve n e c essar ily . taken place since his apprehension. Indeed this principle may be justly carried further, for, by his Immediate death at this in teresting crisis of the affairs, the beat, the truest means of in. fOrMation to the Bank, for further pursuit and for future pro. amnion, will be lest. If, therefore, any hope Maybe indulged for this interference, let It be undertaken and followed up without del a y ; an d cer tainly it might well commence between the Counsel of Mr. Fauntleroy and the Counsel di the Bank, who will best under stand the value of the suggestion, and how useful Mr. Fauntle. roy might be made on an abstract view, without mina% any personal feelings of clemency which might interrupt their new proceeding. The next body of persons who would share in these pro. ceedings will be the constituents of the two firms • the value of Mr. Fauntleroy's aid and information to both of these parties will be most important; it may, perhaps, :be pronounced in dispensible, and that his premature death may shut out that valuable and full disclosure, without which no person, whether interested or not interested in the affitirs of the firms, and in their transactions with the Bank, can or ought to be satisfied. Let it not be lost sight of for a moment, that the full extent of the forgeries cannot be completely known, to be pronounced officially, until thealividends on the three per cent. Consols be paid in January next, and this will necessarily influence the con. duct of the Bank as 'rrustees for the public I and as Mr. Vaunt leroy will be required to commence his disclosure and informa tion with the first act of forgery, and comprise every succeeding one, whether the stock has been replaced or not, the Directors will thus acquire no slight means for future prevention, and they may see, in the detail, whether the most careful measures have been adopted at the Bank, or what others can be adopted for preventing a recurrence of such mischief. should these suggestions be acted upon, Mr. Fauntleroy might be advised against the admission of persons to see him indiscriminately, because so many would necessarily be affected, in sonic way or other, by the progress of this momentous inquiry, that lie could not be secure against a trap for himself, which might diminish the actual benefit proposed by the measures. More may be suggested on all these points, and on other important questions which this unprecedented affair will pro yoke' but if there be any thing worthy the attention of his legal friends, their kindness, their zeal, and their consummate knowledge will not want any aid which can be afforded by the writer of this paper, who has no interest, directly or indirectly, in the result, nor any wish or expectation beyond that of pro. longing the life of this unhappy man, and leading thus to the trite ends of justice, by making those who have shared the plunder contribute also to the retribution. When the first forgery was consummated, Henry Fauntleroy had scarcely reached manhood, yet this boy was placed in the banking house by his veteran friends, the efficient partners, as their Atlas, to carry on his shoulders this tottering firm—a boy without a shilling of his own to aid him in the oppressive ad. venture, and without a friend who had the means or the in. clination to advance any , thing to relieve him. Even theordinary assistance of discounts at the Bank of Eng. land, was refused to the unsure firm of Marsh and Co. It was at this period, it was in 11116, that the fatalpaper was written by him, which firmly fixed his fate at the bar °Out:nee, and in the regret. ful feelings of commiserating friends and of consoling strangers, it is supposed that it has shut up the gate which leads to Royal mercy ; but its dispenser is known to be intelligent as well as benevolent : let us for a moment venture to believe, and that belief is founded on the unvaried experience of his kind and merciful heart, that he may say truly, " Let us see before the pen of stern justice inscribes the irrevocable fate of this infatu• ated, rather than criminal object ; let me look closer at this man's character in society, and the probable motive which urged him to these desperate acts." It is represented generally, and the respectable witnesses have confirmed it at his trial, that ha has been uniformly mild, b en i gnant, gent l eman ly, a nd liberal to all. When reveng e human mind, is ascribe , the strongest l, it has always some personal object against which it i s di recte d. I t i s ver y possible that, person. ally, Mr. Fauntleroy was not a c quainted with any one of the Bank Directors : if he was not, lie could have had no hostile passion perhaps in the feeling against any one of them, and therefore revenge is out of the question. In merciful consideration of the infirmities of human agency, then, cannot a truer and a less culpable motive be found for this paper? Look at his position, his age, and his romantic hopes in 1816: he was the only prop of this great and tottering edifice; he was urged by the perilous difficulties against which his veteran partners had left him to struggle, to consult his own energies in removing them. Boy—rash boy as he was, he looked to the glory of the atchievement, anti in his heated lmagination he did not pause to deliberate on the ins. moral, the criminal acts which were to be employed; and hay. ing accomplished his illegal purposes, his evil destiny, his heated enthusiasm, urged him to record what he had done.— But the sentiment so recorded was any thing but revenge : there was no individual before him on whom the elfects of his vengeance could alight; he knew, as we all know, that the Bank could ao more suffer personally, than the Directors themselves could, by the effects of his criminal proceedings.

The brig in question was. running rapidly betore the wind, and her velocity was such that the Don, in endeavouring to pass a-head, became becalmed under the lee of her sails, a nd all exertions made by those on board were fruitless, as th e e v en t which followed was the work of an instant. The fluke of the brig's anchor first caught her rigging , and her bow s nex t came violently in contact with the broadside of the Giovanni, and she immediately went down, in 15 fathoms water. Capt. Davey was not on board, but there were three Gentlemen of the names of Harrison, Duke, and Coleman, and Richard Cownden, the young man who sails the vessel. These four persons were all immersed in the water, and their situation was very alarming, As there was a considerable swell out; the brig's boat, however, quickly came to their assistance, and hapjilly they were all picked up, but in a very exhausted state. The Don Giovanni was anew vessel, anti her numerous successes last Beaton doubt. less proved her the fastest river sailing yacht ever built. She had the St. George's boat in tow, but there was not time to un cast her, and she was also sunk. The Blossom Gravesend packet has been sweeping about the spot where she went down, but no traces of her had been discovered when one of the parties left Gravesend. She is said to hare been engaged for several matches next glimmer, one of which, we understand, was to sail what a vessel round the Isle of PltiCE SnVENPENCt. LITERARY NOTICE. FOUR .COMEDIES of TERENCE, translated, and th Stage Management, and Mode of Acting them set down, al they were acted at 'Westminster School ; and also the other two Comedies of TERENCE, the II EAUTONTIBItOttIiItEifo and the IIEcTuA, translated. The whole six Plays being rendered Into English, literally, correctly, and critically, ar,, cording to the spi r i t of TERENcE, and proper meaning sad construction. For the Use of Schools and Seminaries. tar the Rev. GEORGE SACI*II.I.II CcTYxa A.M. flotterly Captain of W estm i nster School, and an Actor in three et these Comedies. often hen hear from theoretical and still mare frequently from ignorant persons, great objection Made to the acting of plays at schools, and par ticularly to the representation of Terence's Co medies, as practised at Westminster. Expe rience, however, as very commonly happens, coo. tradicts the wise decisions of filial speCulalot:, and many advautages are proved to arise from the , srustotn, which doubtless were known and contemplated by those who commanded its ob servance ; for these objectors should be told, tha t it is not owing to the caprice or prejudices of the masters that Terence is acted by the K ing'sScholars at Westminster, but in consequence of the original injunction of their Statutes, as fixed by Queen ELIZABETH and her wise counsellors. The repre sentations in Westminster College are therefore in some respects traditional ; the play of the scene, and the casts of the characters, have been handed down from generation to generation, and though much'moditied, from time to time by the taste of the masters, or the genius of particular boys, re main, in essential points, nearly what they have ever been. We, therefore, consider the present publica tion as a curious document; not merely as a translation of Terence, but as an accurate report, from a person thrice engaged in those exercises, how the author was understood in his time, and in what manner the comic scenes were best re presented and regulated. It is true, that the acting of this translator is not of recent date, but there are those persons living who well remem ber it, and can testify that It was very good. We will not say how long ago this was ; but when ever it happened, it fixed in his mind the love of Terence, whom his dedication testifies to have been 14 his favourite classic ever since, and ono whom he has much studied." Thus qualified, he undertakes to iustruct other schools and semi mules how Terence is acted at 'Westminster. That the effect of those representations is excel lent, all will bear witness who have ever attended. them ; and that they are so lively us to excite some wonder how Mtecenas could speak of them as deficient in the vis comica, in which at West minster they seem to abound ; nor can we recon cile the expression, except by supposing that the comic rein, required by the writer of those lines and his friends, was something more allied to what we cell Farce, or the broader jests of Plautus and Aristophunes. Wo have here, therefore, the literal translation of the Comedies, with every minute direction fur the conduct and gestures of the Actors that cats give life to the words of the Author. No* the undeniable truth is, that the looks, gestures, and movements of the Actors, if just, form the best and liveliest comment on the meaning of the Author ; and many persons who fancied Terence flat in private perusal, have, to their surprise, found him wonderfully amusing in action. To this translation, therefore, those must have recourse who wish to know how the Plays of Terence ought to be acted. For the pleasure of perusal they may prefer COLMAN, who, without being literal, has best represented the style of the author, and in language which every English reader will peruse with pleasure; but if he would know how the Stage is to be managed, how every Actor is to stand, act, and look in every scene, here he must come for information ; and we eats pledge ourselves that he will generally find that Information correct, and conformable to the best representations of each play. This is certainly a curious, as it is a novel attempt, and if the act ing of Terence should become a more general practice, might be looked up to as authority.— How far the prejudices of modern speculators on education will ever give way to the experience that sanctions this practice, we cannot conjee.• tare; but that it is a good classical exercise, cud not really injurious to morals, we can aver from positive knowledge.
