This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable. Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. The astonishing success which has crowned the application ethic external Medicine in the moat hopeless and deplorable cases, avhen the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever b raining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. Amongst many which are being daily receiyed are thefollol - testimonials:— OM 14, Belmont -place. Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.

Sra,—l Itave hitherto had a prejudice against naving recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Seijeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time applied the Lotion. I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to producea short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that Wawa was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom pain. The,number of poor souls that auger as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain.—With.many thanks, I am yours, HENRI VVI:LENNEVIL Sold by Pendlebury, Russell-street; Titherington, Oxford street; Hogarth, Great George-street ; Fisher, Bold-street; Coupland, Parker.-street; 'Gerrard, Oldhall-street ; ; Parkins.', New Scotland-road ; Neal, Scotland-road ; Simpson,, Scotl snd -road, opposite St. Martin's Market; Mackow, Vauxhall-mid; Britten, corner of Dale-street and Haymarket; Smith, G r. , st Hamer-street; Cox, Fox-street ; Gillard, Richmond-row; Low, Islington ; Walker, London-road; Parry, Christian-street ; Wagstaff, Great George-placo ; Priestley, Lord-street ; Woodside; Price, Wayertree. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE COUNCIL-DEBATE ON THE WATER QUESTION. A special meeting of the Town Council was held yester day, in the Council-chamber, to take into consideration the following subjects : I.—The proceedings, resolutions, and reports of the Water Committee, since those before the Council on the 7th March last, viz., from the 9th day of March to the 7th day of May instant, both inclusive. 2.—The report of Messrs. Simpson and Newlands on the question of water supply, and the statement of Mr. Hawksley thereon, and to adopt such resolutions in rela tion to this subject as the Council may think fit. Shortly after the usual hour of meeting, there being a very fair attendance of members, his Worship the Mayor took his seat, and, in opening the proceedings, said that the first question he should put to the Council was, whe ther the proceedings of the Water Committee, which had been read on a former occasion, should now be read, or whether the Council would be satisfied with having such portions only of the proceedings read as might be required by any member of the Council, and thus save much time. Mr. HOUNBY said he did not see anything in the pro ceedings which would require them to be read. Mr. PARKER observed that there was a new member (Mr. Freme) present. Mr. Pnourra observed that the only points w , with r _ enhead Com- Co fir A. 0173, TO be DISPOSED OF, an ALE and PORTER STORE, situate in Harrington-street.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. over as read, but that in any discussion which might arise on them they might be referred to, and if called upon the Town-clerk should read such portions as might be re quired. Mr. DRIFFIELD then read the proceedings, resolutions, &c., of the committee from the 9th of March last ; and on coming to that portion of the proceedings which re ferred to the late statement of accounts of the Water Committee, a short discussion ensued as to whether this portion should be read. Finally it was agreed that if required the reporters should make such extracts as they might think fit. Mr. Procter then rose to propose the confirmation of the proceedings of the water committee, and in doing so said there were two or more points upon which he felt it to be his duty to remark. The first was as to the storage of the forty-tour inch-pipes at Birkenhead. And in answer to a question put by Mr. Ferguson as to the terms upon which they had been stored ; he might say that their sur veyor, Mr. Weightman, had been requested to ask Mr. Hartley, surveyor to the docks, upon what terms they would store them. He made the application, and Mr. Hartley's reply was, that they would allow the committee the free use of as much land as might be required, but as to storing and weighing the pipes they would have nothing to do with that. Mr. FERGUSON said he should like to know the cost. The MAYOR said Mr. Procter could name the sum without reference to the report—he believed it was eight hundred and odd pounds. Mr. PROCTER said it was to be Is. 2d. per ton for weighing, marking, storing, and also re-shipping them when they had to be brought back again, and bring ing them back again. That was to be the price for pipes, which cost under £l4 per ton, but for all above that sum the price was to be ls. 3d. Mr. THOMPSON.—For what time ? Mr. PROCTER.—For one year. We considered it a fair price. Mr. Nicol, inquired whether any question had been asked the Dock Committee on the subject. Mr. PROCTER was not aware of the fact. On that subject Mr. Hartley was considered the proper party to apply to. Mr. NICOL said Mr. Hartley had no right to answer for the committee, and he wished it to be understood that Mr. Hartley was not the representative of that committee. Mr. PROCTOR said it was the duty of the water com mittee to obtain land upon which to place the pipes, and the weighing, marking, and storage of them in the best way they could. He considered they had done so, and what had been done had received the sanction of their surveyor, Mr. Weightman, Mr. M'Gregor, and Mr. Hawksley. The next point to which he wished to call the attention of the Council was the dismissal of Messrs. Campbell and Francis, which was recommended by the report, and next the acceptance of the resignation of Mr. Scott. If the report was confirmed, the committee would be without a head, but, all those questions the committee left the Council to deal with as they should think proper, and to instruct the committee thereon. With these observations he should move the confirmation of the proceedings. Mr. BENNETT seconded the motion. Mr. COOPER, with reference to one'portion of the re port, said he attended the Water Committee on Saturday with reference to the subject, and re-asserted what he then stated, that he had never received any tender or pro posal for those works whatever. He then recommended what he would now state, that if the account was wrong it should be referred to Mr. Weightman, and as the par ties were highly respectable he had no doubt it could be satisfactorily arranged. Mr. We ns a L's report was now in the room, and the Council could see it. Mr. HostsFsm., said the report contained a statement from Messrs. Harbord and Bennett, in which the dis missal of Messrs. Campbell and Francis was recom mended. He wished to know, as that report appeared upon the proceedings, whether it would receive the sanc tion of the committee. Mr. PARKER said the committee had not dealt with it at all, further than bringing it before the Council, and leaving it for their decision. Mr. HUGH HORNBY said it appeared the report of Messrs. Harbord and Bennett had been obtained without any authority from the committee, and if entertained by the Council he thought it would be setting a dangerous precedent. He understood those gen lemen proceeded to Glasgow, not only without authority, but against the wishes of the committee. If the report of those gentle men was adopted, they might be setting the example for further expenditure of money without authority, and he (Mr. Hornby) would rather subscribe to pay the ex penses of those gentlemen out of his own pocket. Mr. HARBORD rose to order. The MAyoa.—Mr. Hornby is perfectly in order. Mr. HARBORD said, there was no question as to their expenses before the Council. Not one shilling had yet been charged by Mr. Bennett or himself, and it would be time enough to make the observations Mr. Hornby was making when they made any claim. Mr. HORNBY said, the fact of there being no claim for expenses did not alter his opinion as to the reception of the report. He still objected to its reception. Mr. Moarits said, the appointment of Messrs. Camp bell and Francis was made by Mr. Ilawksley, and must be left for him to deal with. The MAYOR said, the best means of dealing with the subject would be to ask the Council to decide, in the first instance, whether they would adept the report of Messrs. Harbord and Bennett, as part of the proceedings of the Water Committee, or not. Mr. Nicol, said the report recommended the dismissal of Messrs. Campbell and Francis. If, therefore, the Council adopted the report, it would adopt the dismissal of Messrs. Campbell and Francis without the interference of the Water Committee at all. The MAYOR.—Just Mr. NrcoL was then ; r eferring to the dismissal'of Mr. Scott, but was requested by the Mayor to confine himself to the question of the adoption of the report, and he re sumed his seat. Mr. PARKER said it was much -to be regretted that the matter was not brought in a more straightforward manner before the Council. The MAYOR.—WiII you be kind encugh to confine yourself to the reception of the report._ _ Mr. PARKER.—Then I think it ought to be received Mr. BENNETT wished to say a few words before the question was put. He was Chairman of the Water Com mittee, and in that position he conceived it to be his duty to make an inspection of what was going on with reference to the works. If the proceedings of other committees were analysed, he had no doubt it would be found that if the chairman of any other committee bad done what he had, the decision of such committee would be just the reverse of that come to by the Water Committee. He, therefore, hoped the Council wonld adopt the report, more especially as the Water Committee must have felt it to be of some importance or it would not appear upon its pro ceedings. He certainly should move its adoption. Air. PROCTER.—I hive moved that already Mr. TuomesoN wished to know if the report was adopted, whether it would vitiate the contracts entered into by those gentlemen ?_ The TowN:CLERIC.—No Mr. Alderman HonsFALL said he should propose to adopt a middle course, and he therefore moved that the proceedings of the Water Committee be confirmed, except the report of Messrs. Bennett and liarbord, which should be received as a communication from those gentlemen. Mr. Nicol., seconded it. Mr. BENNETT spoke in favour of the report. He said had he and Mr. Harbcrd not xiisitcd Glasgow, several matters would have been treated as facts which turned out not to be so; and thus, in arranging with parties, in the event of the Pike scheme being discontinued, the Council would have been put to a very considerable ex pense. They found that Mr. Hawksley had never visited Glasgow since the contract was entered into, and that all the information he had received was obtained from Messrs. Campbell and Francis. They were told also that a large number of pipes were ready for delivery; but so far from that being the case, there were none ready. All an in formation they received was of the same character, and would in the end save the Corporation many thousands. He was -quite willing to adopt the suggestion of Mr. 'Horsfall, but he wished it to be understood that all they did was to recommend the dismissal of Messrs. Campbell and Francis. He could mention many more facts, show ing the value of the report, but should refrain at present, further than to state that there was a letter before the Water Committee, which showed that nothing had been done for the benefit of the Coryoration. Mr. HARMED said he could confirm all Mr. BENNETT had stated. Mr. THOMPSOIT rose to put a question to the Chairman of the 'Water Committee, relative to the waste of water from the Kensington reservoir. The MAYOR said the question would come more pro perly by and by, and then proceeded to put Mr. Hors fall's motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE wished to know how the Coun cil stood with reference to Mr. Scott. The Water Com mittee had recommended his dismissal, but he understood that was withdrawn on Mr. Scott withdrawing a letter he had written to the committee. He (Mr. Lawrence) knew little ;of Mr. Scott personally—indeed he hardly knew him at all—but he heard it stated on all sides how hardly he had been dealt with, and how excellent and good a man he was to carry out the works they had for him to do. Mr. Scott cane into their service strongly recom mended by gentlemen whose opinion was entitled to weight and consideration, and he (Mr. Lawrence) should like to know how the Council stood with reference to his services. If they were to lose them merely because of some personal feeling between him and the committee, be thought that ought to be done away with, as it was important to the town that his services should be retained. Mr. PARKER said if this recommendation were carried out, the Council bad better resolve themselves into a Water Committee at once. He should like to know, if they were to interfere in the same manner with the Fi nance Committee, what would be thought of it. He hoped Mr. Scott would be allowed to act as a free agent in the matter. Mr. PROCTER said it was quite impossible things could go on as they were. All was confusion, and Mr. Scott found it impossible to carry out the wishes of the com mittee. He had told him (Mr. Procter) that he would rather be a slave in a galley than where he was, and had frequently begged of him to induce the committee to make such arrangements as would enable him to go else where, and obtain a situation where his services would be properly appreciated. He (Mr. Procter) believed Mr. Scott to be quite competent to perform the duties he had undertaken in a most efficient manner; but somehow or other the servants under him had gotten the upperhand, and it him to go on. quite impossible t. HAR - BORD demurred entirely from the opinion ed by the chairman of the Water Committee. It with a bad gr iation c Mr. HARBORD.—You said it was impossible for him to go on with the present staff. Mr. PROCTER called attention to the recognition of Mr. Scott. Mr. HARBORD said Mr. Scott had let the Kensington reservoir run dry three times within one month—in fact he was not the man who ought to occupy the post he did. Mr. THOMPSON wished that part of the proceedings which related to the water from Kensington reservoir being emptied, to be read. The MAYOR said they were getting astray—they must get into some kind of order. • Mr. HUGH HORNBY said, after the statment made by Mr. Harbord, something ought to be said. Mr. Scott was a professional man, and if gentlemen were permitted to bring forward statements in his absence, which it was impossible for them to discuss, the character of no pro fessional man was safe. A most irregular inquiry had been gone into by the water committee, wherein the cha racter of Mr. Scott had been assailed without a proper inquiry being instituted for the purpose of giving him an opportunity of vindicating his conduct. This was doing great injustice, and an injury to the character of a respect able professional man. Mr. HARBORD said his object was merely to pa council in possession of the real facts of the case_ not with a view of injuring the character of Mr. at all Mr. BENNETT said, in justice to himself, after what bad fallen from Mr. G. H. Lawrence, he must say that as deputy chairman of the water committee, and as chairman of the Sub-committee of Works, be had been brought into close connexion with Mr. Scott every member of the Water Committee whether he had acted in any degree calculated to wound the feelings of Mr. Scott, or had treated him in any other way than be coming the station be held under the Corporation. Mr. BENT most emphatically asserted that he had never acted towards Mr. Scott in au unfriendly spirit, or so as to prejudge his much questioned conduct. Mr. Scott had left the committee to deal as they could with the many difficulties which their predecessors had left them in, and then, when complained of, wrote a letter which, if it had emanated from the foreman or any chief clerk to his principal, the party so guilty would have met with instant dismissal. It was absolutely necessary, for the carrying on of the business of the Corporation, that the committees should be well supported in that room ; and with regard to Mr. Scott, although lie had no intention of acting vin dictively, he was of opinion that his resignation ought to be accepted. Mr. PROCTER said Mr. Scott had that morning placed a paper in his hands, which he wished to be read if his conduct was remarked upon in the Council. He had only received it that morning, and what its contents were he could not say. Mr. THOMPSON wished his question answered respecting the waste of water from the Kensington reservoir. Mr. PROCTER thought it was most likely the subject was referred to in the paper he had produced from Mr. Scott. Mr. HAgnonn said he charged Mr. Scott with a waste of water last Saturday week. Last Saturday the com mittee met again, yet that was the first time any explana- tion bad been offered Mr. PARKER objected to the paper being read. It was a most irregular way of introducing it in the shape of a Mayor's communication. Mr. HUGH HORNBY said he understood the paper had been placed in the hands of the chairman of the Water Committee, with the understanding that it was not to be produced unless the subject cam - - Mr. Harbord had made a charge as was but fair his explanation should he read Mr. THOMPSON : moved that it be read. (Cries of " Read, read.") The TOWN-CLERK then read the document referred to. It was an elaborate statement of the present state of the works, and said that in consequence of t' being uncovered, the water became so impure frequently, they were obliged to be run dry for the purpose of being cleaned. The Kensington reservoir was net origi nally intended for domestic purposes. That was admitted by the engineer wno constructed it, or it would have been erected differently. The water there being obtained from underground strata became impure much quicker than surface water, when exposed to the sun's rays, and conse quently required more frequent cleansing. Lie reservoirs Mr. - COOPER said, it was well known before Mr. Scott had anything to do with the Kensington water-works they had great difficulty- in keeping it pure. They were then obliged to allow the water to run down the sewers for the purpose of having the reservoirs cleaned. The present Water Committee had been doing the same. (No, no.) He did not, however, blame them for it. They could not he!p it. _ _ _ Mnror said the subject before the Council was the resignation of Mr. Scott Mr. COOPER continued. The engineer said the water would become impure, and therefore the reservoir must be emptied for the purpose of being cleaned. The plan adopted by Mr. Scott was to keep the water as low as possible, so that there would not be so great a loss. This plan had been approved of by Mr. Newlands. Then again he found the old company raised 26,000,000 gal lons, and on reference to the report before the Council, he found that the present company raised no more,, and therefore if the old company wasted water, the new must have been doing the same. P • - —Order. Mr. ARKER. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said an attack bad been made on_Mr. Scott. His explanation had been read— o order— %lAFOR.—Order HOLME I think Mr. Parker rises to disorder (Laughter.) MI: COOPER continued. He said Mr. Scott had wasted no more water than he could help, and he had by his management of the works saved considerable sums to the Corporation. .He found the quantity of tallow used— Mr. HARBORD.—OhI don't travel into Grease, (Laughter.) Mr- COOPER.—I am not going to travel to Greece nor Rome either. (A laugh.) lie found, however, that on comparing the years 1848 and 1849, Mr. Scott had sa -40 per cent in the consumption of tallow alone. Then as to the costs for coals ; in 1848, it was £3,720, and for the last year, £2,828, or a saving of nearly £lOOO. Again, since Mr. Scott put the engine at the Soho Station in re pair, she had discharged nearly double the quantity of water any other engine had. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said he should mcve that the resignation of Mr. Scott be accepted with regret, that the exr' -ation he has ' - ^n i "tly satisfactory to the plaua was giv, is perteci,., council ; and that it be an instruction to the Wafer Com mittee to give notice of dismissal to all parties employed in the engineering establishment. Mr. HUGH HoRNBY seconded the motion. Mr. HARBORD objected to that part of the motion which approved of Mr. Scott's explanation, because it placed the Water Committee in a false position. He brought the subject of the waste of water before the Com mittee a fortnight ago • and if Mr. Scott could explain he ought to have explained .to the Committee at their meeting last Saturday, as he was requested to do. He hoped the Council would pause before they approved of an elaborate scientific document without time to consi der it. The other part of the motion he approved of. _ Mr. PROCTER urged upon 141 r. G. H . Lawrence the propriety of not expre explanation of Mr. Scott. Mr. 141ottnis asked whether there was any resolution upon the minutes calling upon Mr. Scott for an explana tion Mr. PROCTER.—Yes. to a resolution on the star. After some observations he referred iect and said upon that resolutio: M Scott was ordered to.'repOrt. Mr. HOLT thought the explanation of Mr. Scott ought to have gone before the committee before it was considered in counciL Mr. G. R. LAWRENCE said Mr. Scott was accused of wasting the water from the Kensington reservoir, for the purpose of suiting the views of a particular party. He was glad to find he was justified on that point, he would withdraw that Portion of his motion which referred to the explanation. Mr. HARBORD.—AII I can say is, that having heard Mr. Sbott's explanation, I believe he has done what he has done believing that it was RIGHT. The MAYOR then put the question on rhich at the suggestion of Mr. Ferguson, the name of Mr. Procter was substituted as the mover. The motion was then put and carried. ie exception of the word t is do. e.—(Laughter.) MESSRS..SIMPSON AND NEWLAND'S REPORT The AlnYon The MAYOR said the next subject was-the consideration of the report of Messrs. Simpson and Newlands, and in connec tion with that he had received a memorial about ten minutes before eleven that day—too late according to.the standing or ders to be presented, but if it was the pleasure of the Council it should be read. After some discussion, it was read by the Town-clerk. It was signed by J. R. Jeffreys, chairman of the National Con federation, and against the Pike scheme. The MAYOR said as the report of Messrs. Simpson and New lands was printed, and in the hands of the Council, and as it had already been read at a former Council, he supposed it might be considered as read. (Yes.) There was, however, a letter from Mr. Hawksley on the subject, which he thought that the proper time to read. Mr. PROCTOR thought it would come more in order by and by, as it was his intention to move that the Council resolve itself into a committee on the water question. The MAYoa said if that was done it would difficulty as to regulating should speak on the subject dace him in a Le in which each member Mr. PROCTER said should certainly take the sense.of the Council on the motion. _ _ _ The MAYOR hoped he would follow the example of the House of Commons, and move some one else into the chair. Mr. PROCTER then moved that the Council resolve itself intq a tommittee of the whole Council. If this resolution was car. vied he should then go through the items in the report, com. mencing at page 48, and move the adoption of each. The motion was seconded by Mr. HARBORD. After a few words against the motion by Mr. H. HORNBY , the .question was put and carried by a majority of 36 to 8. iirsre --Mnvere Waltliew. inSt_ t-inlrna Thomson, Morris, Preston, T. L.

With that sum the land, &c. for the requisite stations would be secured, and the line constructed; but, for the extended scheme, additional filter beds, pipes, &c. would be required, in proportion to the increase of population and its distribution over the locality. Mr. PROCTER then rose. lie said le Alt the impo , tmce of the subject, and that he was incompetent to do justica to it. He considered it necessary that there should be a permanent settlement of tie question, for the continued discussion of it had already produced discord, and interfered with the interests of the burgesses at large. Ile was not there to offer any objec tions to what a majority of the Council should decide, but on the contrary should do his best to carry them out, and he hoped the result would be that the town would have a perma nent and plentiful supply of water. There were three schemes for supplying the tolin t' on each he had formed his own opi nion, and bad no hesitation in stating openly the one to which he gave the preference. He should then proceed with the sum mary, and pi opose the adoption of each hem seriatim. Before, however, proceeding to the first, he would express his entire and perfect satisfaction of the competence of these gentlemen who had been selected to propose the report, and his approba tion of the patient consideration they hod given to it, and the unpleasant matter to differ from nessmw:i.2% mercantile men said, as a bad debt. There was .e 53,000 for Parliamentary expenses foolishly, he would say recklessly, expended. There were the sums paid to the Harrington and the Bootle Companies for their works—sums much greater than what the old high Tory hoard had agreed to take them for. '1 hese things, however, could not now be helped, and therefore he would not comment further on this part of the subject.

Now whether they adopted the plan of Messrs. Simpson and Newlands, or the Rivington Pike Plan, it would be necessary if possible to have their immediate supply increased at Green Lane as much as possible. That he had no doubt might be done to some extent by the means proposed, and if it were done, it would afford additional se curity to the town, and comfort to the inhabit- or the ptesen ants. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Nrcot.—Can you extend these works with the money raised under the provisions of the existing Water Act ? Mr. TINNE asked whether, under their existing bills, they bad the power to extend their works in a lateral direction be yond their own ground at Green-lane ? The TOWN-CLERK thought not. Mr. COOPER agreedwitTthis resolution. It had always been working at an enormous outlay, and that their abandonment would be productive of great good. If they put down an addi tional engine at Green lane they might do so with every pros pect of success.

Alderman PROCTER.—One million gallons per day. taking into consideration the additional mains ar pipes which must necessarily be bad here under an• That is Mr. PARKER observed that Mr. Simpson was the engineer who had sunk the well at Green-lane, and he could tell them that that well had yielded much more water than he (Mr. S.) had ever anticipated ; and, as the capability of the well was known to the Council, he need not dilate upon it. If they got -their duplicate engine at work there, and all the necessary pipes and other matters properly arranged, there could be no hey could supply tktawri with a very much faci, (hiring the three triOnth's in ft were pumped to waste every day—were, in fact, turned down the brooks adjoining the works. (Hear, hear.) It was, in his opinion, unfair to charge the increasd quantity of the million to bederived from these works with the ..'110,090 expenditure, inasmuch as the duplicate engine, they all knew, was to be built in any even in fact, their - were all well aware that such an improvement was necessary under any circumstances. (Hear, hear.) They should only charge the additional pipes required for distrihution against that item. Mr. NrcoL thought that Mr. Parker was in error when he talked so fluently of the capacity of the Green-lane Well yield ; for, on looking at Mr. Hocking's report, in the appendix at tached to that of Messrs. Simpson and Newle- ' `•ev would find that the engine had already reduced the mite; in V the well considerably. (No, no, no.) Yes, they would find that the present engine was quite sufficient to pump all the water in the well; for they would find that on Monday the water WAS 68 feet in the morning, and only 62 feet 6 inches on the evening of Saturday. Mr. HARD° RD.—Take Tuesday. Mr. NICOL.—WeII, then, on Tuesday the water in the morn ing was 62 feet 6 inches, and in the evening 62 feet, still shew•- Mr. HAnnoitn.—What quantity of water was delivered on that day, compared with the decrease in the depth of 6 inches? Mr. Nicol. read—" One million, one hundred and sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fourteen gallons." But when they came to take the Saturday following they would find the same result in depth, (that was CI feet in the morning., and CO feet 6 inches in the evening,) with a delivery of 535,003 gallons in the day. Mr. HOLY' apprehended that if it were not compulsory on them to make this.outlay on the Green-lane works just at pre sent, that there would he no difference of opinion as to tile propriety of passing the resolution. 11061 E thought that the only question was as to the portion of the etio,thoovvhich was intended to be expended presently, as with regard to the new engine at Green-lane, the old Water Committee would have brought that proposition be fore the Council. He thought that the public and the Council were running a great risk in not having another engine there immediately. He apprehended, however, that the expenditure of this £llO,OOO was not for Green-lane alone, but also for Hotham-street and the repairs of the m a i ns . Hei thought that it would be injudicious to . go and lhy out the £iii,o7oZiOnCe, because if they found, that by putting down a new engine at Green lane their expectations were answered, it would be likely that they would abandon some of the present stations. Mr. BENNETT confirmed what had fallen from Mr. Parker with regard to the engine at Green-lane pumping so much wa ter more during the experiments than was served to the town (Hear, hear.) Mr. HARBORD begged the Council to remember that Mr Hawksley's scheme involved the expenditure of for a supply of only eight million gallons per diem, this estimate the expenditure of laying the new set of main_ necessary to thetown, no matter what plan was eventually car- .e 450,000 I that in raea ens, was not incated. (Hear, hear.) '1 his 4110,000 in cluded an expenditure necessary to the town, whether they adopted the Green-lane and the underground scheme, or whe ther they brought the water from Rivington or from Bala. He begged the Council also to bear in mind, that with the present set of mains there was a large quantity of water run to waste every day, without blame being attached to either the committee or the engineers—(hear, hear, and ironical applause) —because the mains were bad.
