NOXIOUS WATER. TO THE EDITOR OF - THE SUN. SlR;—Learning from one of the Weekly Jour nals published in April last that a very respect able meeting, consisting of Noblemen and Gen-. tlemen, had been convened a few days before for the purpose of enquiring into .the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a better supply of water to the metropolis,. on which occasion a specimen of the water froM the Grand Junction pipes was examined and justly pronounced a filthy fluid ;sand that from the situation of that Company's dolphin at the foot of the Grand Ranelagh sewer, all the, refuSe from thence was conveyed into the pipes instead of pure water ; I therefore beg leave, Sir, through the medium of your valuable Paper, to offer a few remarks. I,suppose then that thiS meeting did not intend to confine its attention to thc.,.Grand Junction, but, as the public good was the object, also in eluded others where the supply was equally and perhaps more unwholesome. . Now, Sir, while. the above-named Journal took so much pains on the subject as to give a .very correct engraving of the situation of the Grand Junction Company's dolphin, the artist who made the drawing was' rather too confined in his remarks, 'or had he looked a little lower down the river, he would have. seen another dolphin belonging to the Chelsea Water Company, which stands between the above-mentioned sewer and the Grand Vaux hall sewer, which conveys all the filth from the very populous neighbourhood of Marylebone, and onwards, to that part of the river very near to the place from whence the Chelsea Water works draw their supply ; which water, either at ebb or flow, must be impregnated with all the filthy and deleterious matter conveyed, by the above sewer from drug mills, slaughter houses, water closets, hospitals, chemists', drains, and the putrid bodies of dead animals, which, as the water is discoloured for several hundred yards round its influences, must therefore be much more extensive; and this pernicious stuff the nu inerous inhabitants of Chelsea, Brompton, and Pimlico, are under - the necessity of swallowing. It may not be amiss to add how frequently me dical men send their patients to the above places for a 'purer air, but they are perhaps not aware that while they enjoy that benefit, the good effect of their prescriptions are completely counteracted by the effect of the filthy water they have to drink and prepare their food with. I am, Sir, your's, PHILANTHROPIC. THE HOWART HS. (From the Bath Journal. ) • One of the indictments preferred against Ralph Howarth, at the late Bridgewater assizes,. was . for stealing, in company with his brother George, a gig, the property of Mr. Lewis Drews, painter and glazier, of Frome. It has since been ascertained, that these daring villains actually went to the shop of Mr. Drew, the day after the xobbery, and purchased some paint of Mm, for the very purpose of painting Mr. Drew's gig another colour, to prevent his knowing it ! The conduct of George Howarth, since his re -capture, has not been marked by so much of that. daring and determined character as might have been expected ; but he seems absorbed in thought, and is extremely sullen and morose.— make any remark on the nuine but would ", I 1 en iIP manner of his escaps:., and how he was i 7 e i rtUen. He prides himself on lt;..s great stiength'and in genuity. On his return fr6. l n Knutsford, he was lodged the first night by I. Oxley and, Mr. Lee, in Birmingham gaol, where he busted to the prisoners " that if he had not those heavy irons on his leg, he would get through the roof of the gaol in ten minutes." — After his escape from Frome, he says that he beat the handcuffs off his right hand by means of a stone, and threw them into a ditch near the barn in which he slept the first night. Search has been made for them, but they are not yet found. After he bad been. brought back to Frome, and secured in the guard-house by. Mr. Culvert - louse, the constable, he declared to him, " that the strength of, his wrist , was so great, that he could, if he chose, snap the handcuffs he then had on in a minute," although they were ex• ceedingly strong. He further observed, " that if he had but two knives, he would get the heavy irons. from his legs in 20 minutes.". Being dinestioned how he could do this, his reply was " by hacking the knives against each other, and making saws of them." The most effectual measures were, however, taken by Mr. Culver house to,prevent either an escape or self-destruc tion on the part of the criminal, by placing guards inside and out of the guard-house, until he was removed and safely lodged in the custody of Mr, Hard), at Ilehester, who has been made fully acquainted as to what a desperate character he has to deal with. The Nunnery has been occupied by both fa milies pf the Tiowarths till about four years ago, at which time George Howarth and his family rem oved, leaving Ralph in possession up to the time of his apprehension. A c°Hstiult PPlnum nieation was, howeoTr, kept up between the fa milies, as George was a joirneyman to his brother Ralph, and it.was at the,Nunizery that their busi ness as millwright was carried :On i the removal of George being only to a very short ,;stance, for the convenience of assisting his brother in the regular trade by day, and his m a rauding ex peditions at night. At the Gothic window over the porch is the sif oll room, supposed to have been used for s l aug htering the sheep that'were stolen : a great d ea l o f blood being found smeared on the walls, and the place furnished with , crooks and rails. Behind that' )5 a large room, used partly as a workshop, an d underneath. the floor of which the parish blankets were found concealed, as well as manv s other stolen articLes, At the 'window on the left hand ground-floor was the ‘ common dwel ling-room of the Ho ivarths ; and ;be, chamber and garret immediately over it are the Iwa rooms jn which many secret r ecesses, Were made in the wads and floors, and where much stolen property was found. There is a continuation of an ori ginal part of the nunnery on the right hand, but it i s divided into tenements, and occupied by industrious .nersons, who had not the least idea wh at wretc h el) were living 'so contiguous to them. a tiV iT Locke'“efinition of Wit is, that . lies it m ost i n the assem bl age of 4 1 e4s, and putti n g those together with quickness andvariety where in can be found any resemblance or congruity , thereby to make u up pleasant pictures and agree able visions in the fancy.--JUDGM ENT, on the contrary, lies quit e on t h e ot h er s id e, in separas' ing carefully one from another idea wherein can be - found the least differLice, thereby to avoid being misled by similitude, and by affinity to take one thing for another." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Sept. 23.) (s AN EXTRAORDINANY CHANNEL.) CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 31.—Yesterday the In terpreters of France, Russia, and England, were in troduced to the Reis Effendi, whom they asked for the answer of the Porte to the note which had been delivered to him on the 16th of this month. They were dismissed with the simple declaration, that the Porte had no further answer to give, be cause its preceding manifesto contained every thing it had to say on the present question. In consequence of this, the Ministers of the three Powers have to-day transmitted to the Turkish Go vernment, a new declaration, which, as we !gam, contains an exposé of the measures which their .Courts are going to take in order to restore peace in the East. Fresh instructions were immediately despatched to the Commanders of the English, French, and Russian squadrons in the Mediterranean. The families of some Ambassadors have already embarked. _ _ _ P. S:—The Reis Effendi yesterday assumed a lofty tone in answering to the Dragomans of the three Allied Powers. ' Never,' said he, will the Porte give any other answer than that of the 9th of June.' The Dragomans immediately withdrew into an adjoining apartment, to draw up their protocol. When they appeared again before the Reis Effendi with this document, he repeated that he had nothing else to say to them, and that'such was the fixed de termination of the Sultan. Thus the conference terminated. The three Ambassadors have to-day had another note delivered to the Ottoman Minister, in which they show the probable consequences of the refusal of the Porte. Count Guilleminot has despatched his brother-in-law, General Fernig, to Paris, express, and M. de Volney to Smyrna, to inform Admiral . Itisny of what is passing. Constantinople still enjoys tranquillity, but it cannot be doubted that the departure of the Ambassadors will excite a great fer mentation here.—Augsburg Gazette. PARIS, SEPT. 22.—The Moniteur in its numbers of the 29th of August and 4th of September, gave a view of the. comparative situation of our maritime commerce during the years 1825 and 182 G. To complete this document it to day publishes two tables establishing a view of our commerce with each country. The first table shows the importations, drawn up from official documents, showing the state of the maritime commerce of France with foreign countries, each country being stated separately. The second table shows the exportations. The result is, that the increase of the importations in 1826 came chiefly from Russia, Sweden, Prussia, Portugal, Hayti the United States ; and that the c ountries to which our exportations have sensibly increased are,—ln Europe, Sweden, Penn - lark, the Netherlands, Austria ; in Africa, Egypt ; in America, Chili and Peru; in Asia, the Isle de France, and the English possessions in India. _ _ (From the Constitutionnel.)

Those of last night cannot, fail to prove the prelude to im portant changes in our Government. The follow ing is what has actually taken place :--- Gerieral Monet, who arrived with great diffi culty at Barcelona, and in the midst of innumerable dangers, as well as by means of a circuitous route and precautions of every kind, has in great haste despatched a courier to the King, who reached the Royal residence in the morning of the day before yesterday. The despatches he hrought mentioned , that the General had himself seen the troops whom the Government had placed at his disposal on va rious points, and ordered him to employ, and the General sent to his Majesty a detailed note of these pretended resources, and pretended ten thousand men put At bis disposal; of their number, their qua lity, and dispositions, &c• In one word, the aim And end of this despatch of the General to the King was to apprize his Majesty that he could not de pend upon any thing or person, and that he should wait. for fresh orders and for fresh succours' in men or money. After the perusal of this despatch, the King sent an express hither, who brought orders to all the Ministers to proceed without delay to St. Ildefonso. Their Excellencies setooff immediately, and arrived the night before last at the King's Palace, where they met in Council, presided by his Majesty Iu the midst of the deliberations of that Council, another Extraordinary Courier arrived from tie Cap tain-General of Arragon, announcing that that pro vince had rebelled in a terrible and almost general manner, in the same way, and with the same object as that of Catalonia. The Governor, M. Philip de Saint Marcq, likewise solicited supplies of money and forces. You may easily conceive what sort of an impression this second courier must have produced in the mind of the King and of his Ministers. All I can tell you is, that his Majesty sent them back to Madrid as they had left it, and added that he should transmit his orders to them. (From the Quotidienne.) (EXTRACT OF A rartA.re LETTER.) TRIESTE, SEPT. 13.—We are in great apprehen sion here 0f the result of affairs in the East. It is now well known that the resolution of the Porte is not to yield up Greece to the wishes of the three Powers till it has tried the fate of arms. This de termination of the Ot toman Porte might have been fo r eseen, The idea that it was no longer capable of doing any thinghas.been of late too much entertained, as also that the empire of tj3e Crescent was main- M The decree of the 26th of April, 1826, provisionally ecufkrined the Regency appointed by John VI., just after . the publication of the Charter. t A few days after, General Sablanha was appointed rrlinisterof War, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1827. We received last night the Paris Papers of Saturday, with the Gazelle de France dated Sunday morning. The latter copies from the Augsburg Gazette an article dated Constan tinople, Aug. 31, which confirms the account we published three days ago, of the positive re filial of the Porte to accede to the terms de manded bythe Allied Powers. The only addi tional particulars furnished by this intelligence are, that the Ambassadors immediately sent fresh instructions to the Admirals commanding the English, French, and Russian squadrons in the Mediterranean ; and that the families of the Ambassadors had at that time embarked. Count GUILLENIINOT had dispatched his brother-in law, General FERNIG, to Paris express, and M. de VOLNEY to Smyrna, to inform Admiral de RIGNY of what was passing. The intelligence from Madrid to the 10th of this month is of considerable importance. It appears that General MONET, who had reached Barcelona with great difficulty, had despatched a courier with great haste to the KING, with a detailed statement of the utter inefficiency of the troops he had been appoi nted to command, and to apprise his MAJESTY that he could not de pendwuait for fresh orders and fresh ponanystlhingorperson; and th at h e must succours in men and money. On the receipt of these des patches the Ministers were summoned to St. Ildefonso, and at the very time the Council were in deliberation, an extraordinary courier arrived from the Captain-General of Arragon, announc ing that a terrible and almost general rebellion had broken out in that province, having the same objects in view as that in Catalonia. The Council broke up without coming to any deter mination, MAJESTY informing the Mini sters he would t ransm it hi s orders t o th e m l t i l o i a n t , in Madrid. Such are the latest accounts f r om this Kingdom ; an d it i s e vid en t that its conditionunhappy will daily b ecome worse an d w orse, un til some tremend ous exp l os i on s h a ll b urst t he bonds under which the whole intellect of the country is POW restrained. The intelligence from Lisbon in these Papers is not so late by three days as that which reached us by the last mail. It furnishes, however, by way of showing the difference of the sentiments and conduct of the PRINCESS-REGENT in July, 1826, and Aug. 1827, the copy of the Letter which her Royal Highness addressed at the first of those dates to General SALDANHA, at that time Governor of Oporto, in reply to a represen tation which he had then made, in exposure of the intrigues of the Apostolical Ministers who surrounded her. The letter fully approved of the General's efforts to induce her Royal Highness to change her treacherous Councillors, —but General STUBBS, for a similar act, in, expressing regret at the dismissal of SAL DANHA, and praying for his reinstatement, is ordered to be arraigned before a Military Tribu- ial !

Advices from Barce lona, of the 15th state, that the Rebels, after taking Villaneuva and Igualada, exacted contri butions and committed great excesses. Gironne is besieged by several thousands of the Rebels, and it is feared that the Governor must cut his way through them, and retire to Palamos. 'We hare received this forenoon the Allge ineine Zeitung of the 18th inst. It contains the article from Constantinople, the substance of which the Gazette de France had furnished us with ; and as all intelligence from that quarter is of the highest interest at this moment, we have translated it entire CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 25 We are very anxious to see how the three Ministers will act in case the Porte should, on the Slat August, wholly reject the proposals made to it. It is a question whether the Porte can desire that they should continue to reside here since, according to the convention of the 6th July, they •would form an European Ministerial Executive Committee, which would issue, under the eyes of the Sovereign, ordi nances relative to a people still recognised as his legitimate subjects, and in a manner lead to a dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. We confess that we have not found in the annals of history any example of a similar inroad into the rights of Sovereignty, and it would perhips be more advantageous to the interest of the Porte, if it really sent their passports to the Ambassadors of the three Courts. They declare that they do not intend war, and yet place the Divan in a dilemma between the speedy or more remote by the Port., the preserieli otlire - tliregitltrifei;rs,can only useful to the rebels against the Sultan. So 'stands the question of the intervention, viewed according to the point of right, granting that the Sultan is recognised by the PeWers as a legitimate Sovereign. We are not disposed to he the advocates of the Divan, and we latneitt the situa tions of the Christians subject to the Mussulmen, but after the recognition in this country of the Turkish legitimacy, the resolution of the three Powers really seems to be an in fringement of it. At Para, the 31st of August is looked for with uneasiness. CONSTANTINOPLE, IL tic. 31. Yesterday the Interpreters of the English, French, and Russian Ambassadors, were introduced to the Reis Effendi, to receive an answer to the note transmitted to the Porte on the 16th of August. They were dismissed with the intimation, " That the Porte could not give any answer, and that its already published manifesto contained eve►y thing that could be said on the 'subject in question." The three Ambassadors have to-day made a new declaration, the contents of which, as we bear, relate to the measures which their Courts will now adopt for the pacification of the Fast. Instructions were sent at the same time to the Commanders of the squadrons of the three Powers in the Mediterranean. The families of dome Ambassadors have embarked. tamed more by the tolerance of the other Cabinets than its own strength. If war is determined upon, these are the principal difficulties that will have to be surmounted; and, because they were not foreseen, it must be supposed that they the less exist. We must, in the first place, suppose the continued good understanding of the three signing Powers. Before entering on active war, many reflections will no doubt be made, which may lead to a coolness in the zeal of one or more of the Cabinets. On the other hand, we must suppose a complete adhesion on ' the, part of Austria. I admit as a fact, that she con sents to the Treaty, that she even interposes her good offices with the Porte, to consent to its execu tion ; but is it a necessary consequence that she will . agree to a war, in which one of the Powers, already so formidable by its territory, might conquer such great - influence ? Austria may adhere to the Treaty, because she knOws its limits, and, in advance, ap preciate its results. But the limits of war are never known; its consequences cannot be foreseen, espe cially if it be true, as the Journals gravely assert, that the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire may be the result of resistance on the part of the Porte. The preservation of this Empire is now of such great interest to the Power in question that it is doubtful whether it would ever consent to any mea sure which Would have that result announced from the beginning. Here then are two essential points on which it is needful, in the first place, to dwell, viz. the continuance of the same views in the three signing Powers, and the opposition of Austria. Let us now examine the difficulties pertaining to _ the Powers about to make war. Every body agrees that it is not merely with fleets of ten or twelve sail of the line that the Ottoman Empire is to be sub dued. To entertain any hope of success the Rus sian army must cross the Pruth. Could she put it in motion without a subsidising treaty ? That it is known is the great difficulty with Russia; she can only augment her sources by means of loans. A subsidising treaty would be more expedient, but would England and France support the weight of so burdensome a treaty ? This we take to be another great difficulty. The hope of raising several pro vinces of the Ottoman Empire against the Porte, appears very difficult to us, not to say chimerical. — It would, therefore, be necessary to think of employ ing against the raised population of these provinces a mass of forces even more considerable than the Russian army beyond the Prutb. We may see, by the efforts of the Persians, all that the Mussulman nations are still capable of doing. It would be a mistake to act on the supposition that the taking of Constantinople would be nothing more than a mili tary exercise for the Russian.army. In any case, we hope precautions have been taken to protect the commerce of the three Powers in the Levant, especially on the coast of Syria and Egypt. Our fears are great ; great capitals are embarked in that quarter, and an unprepared declaration of war might have a fatal influence on them. 2ItICESOI , STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

Yesterday, just before the expiration of the time given to the Porte for the acceptance of the proposals of pacifica tion, the Dragomans,of the Russian. English, and French Legations, waited on the Reis Effendi to receive the answer to their note delivered on the 16th of August. The Reis Effendi replied in a proud arrogant tone that the Porte had given its answer by its declaration of the 9th of June, and would never give another. The Dragomans then retired into another room to draw up a protocol of this answer, and when they returned with it the Reis Effendi again de clared that such was the firm resolution of the Sultan. So the conference ended. The three Ministers feeling uneasy at the answer of the Porte, have resolved, it is said, to draw up a joint note, in order to impress upon the Divan the probable consequences of its refusal. At the same time they will, in a few days, give orders for the executive measures which have already been agreed upon. But, con sidering the irritation of the Turkish Govetnment, the three Ministers have resolved to send their wives and children out of the reach of danger. In consequence of this the Marchioneas tie Ribeaupierre, the Countess Guilleminot, and Lady Stratford Canning, with their families, are already embarked ; the latter is accompanied by Mr. Tupier, the principal Councillor of Legation, and his lady. It is thought they will go to Odessa. Count Guilleminot sent his brother-in-law, General Fernig, express to Paris, and M. de Volney to Smyrna, in order to give information to Admiral de Rigny of what is passing. The capital still enjoys a state of tranquillity, but the departure of the Ambassadors' ladies will undoubtedly create a great fermentation. Accounts from Syra to the 22(1 of August do not men tion the arrival of the Egyptian fleet. Some persons begin to believe that the English fleet, before the commencement of the intended executive measures, may have given it notice to put back. flarnburgh Papers of the 19th inst. also came to hand this morning. A report prevailed at Stockholm, but for which there could not have been the slightest foundation, that an English Fleet was expected in the Baltic to take on board Russian troops. We s hould as soon expect a Russian Fleet at the wore to take English troops on board. '['he following are extracts : BERLIN, SEPT. 15. The camp at Templow broke up yesterday, and the troops are going int o cantonments i n H ave ß an d, whither the re giment o f t h e Guards is also gone.

STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 11. There was an unauthenticated report at Ystad that a considerable English fleet mull soon arrive in the t attic, to take Russian troops on board at Cronstadt. On the 29th ult. three Russian frigates and a cutter passed the Sound, going to the Baltic. Two Russian brigs were at anchor off Helsingborg. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 15. On the Bth of this month, while the moan shone in full splendour, an Aurora Borealis of extraordinary beauty was observed over all Denmark, which is extremely rare at this season of the year, -- and is supposed to presage a severe winter. Our letters from Portsmouth this morning mention that the squadron, under the orders of _ _ _ Rear Admiral Sir THoMAS M. HARDY,K.C.B. sailed from St. Helens yesterday. It consisted of the following ships, Galatea, Challenger, Sapphire, Tyne, Acorn, Alert, Columbine, Satellite, and Wolf: We beg to direct public attention to a very sensible letter inserted in another column respect ing the present noxious supply of water to the inhabitants of Chelsea, Brornpton, and Pimlico. Our Correspondent justly remarks, that if me dical men were aware of the deleterious nature of the waters in that quarter, they would not send their patients for the benefit of a purer air while the putrid tendency of one element must counter act the salutary effects of the other. We believe that a Parlianientary Commission is at present directing its attention to the disgraceful and highly prejudicial state of the water now supplied in the western parts of the town, and we have no doubt that they will look into the matter com plained of by our Correspondent, whose object appears to be solely the public good. We un derstand that many residents in the quarter al luded to, have lately been so unwell as to be under the necessity of having recourse to medical advice, but that they could derive nt benefit until they desisted from using the water, and having recourse to spring wells. If this be true, and we have no reason to doubt the correctness of the information, we think that the sooner people look to the matter, the longer will be their chance of life, while their pockets will be also saved the expellee of paying for a fluid which consigns them to the Doctor's list. The subject is of the last importance to the public, and calls for the interference of the Vdxecutive in a summary manner, so as to preserve the lives of the people from the effects of such pernicious stuff, before they can be benefitted by the intervention of the Legislature. We advise Lord GROSVENOR to look to it, or the value of his property may, ere long, like the health of many of his tenants, go into a galloping consumption. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELYR o' Cr. onr. The English Funds have continued nearly in a calm all the morning, with scarcely any variation wortb. le ,.;eing. Consols oponed at 86i for monov and b 6-- 7 form:count, at watts. eli or until within a few minutes of the above hour, when the market declined to 861 a for account ; there has not been the slightest alteration since yesterday in the premium on India Bonds or Exchequer Bills, the former continuing at 93 4, and the latter at 59 60. In the Foreign Funds the only business seems to be in Mexican Bonds, which advanced, at one period, full 3 per cent. on yesterday's price, having been done as high as 511 this morning, they are now quoted at 50.1 ; with regard to the cause of this rise it cannot emanate from any political news from Mexico, or expectation of immediate funds to enable that Government to give the Bondholders notice of their ability to pay the dividends; such a report was, indeed, in existence, but without the least foundation, the advance being attributed to the state of the approaching account day, which is con sidered to be Bearish; Colombian are 281. The only variation in Shares worth stating is a trifling advance in Brazilian Mines, from 22 3 to 23 4. It is reported in the city that an express from Paris has been received this morning, but after making the most minute enquiry we have been un able to trace to whom it has come oorne say Govern ment had received it. The politicians in the city have also been puzzling themselves to account for the frequent and long interviews which the Austrian Ambassador has latterly had with the Foreign Mi mister, and are induced to argue that business of much importance must cause such constant visits, and attribute it to Turkish affairs.
