A signal has just been made for another English steamer.

" The main body of Saldanha's army is at Torres Ve dras, awaiting an attack from Antes. -If the latter should assume theeffensive, he is likely, 1 again predict, to suffer a terrible defeat.

Manchester, says Mr. Hawkesley in his very confident letter to the Town Clerk, is seeking possession of a terri tory whence to-derive water, smaller than that he has sug gested for Liverpool, and calculates on higher results. Why, he asks, should his Liverpool friends doubt? And then he pledges himself that both as regards quantity and quality, the proposed district will "afford all the 1.• tant town of Liverpool requires." These points in Mr. Hawkesley's letter are open to strong observation. They neither give nor suggest the real merits of the case as they will unquestionably appear before a parliamentary committee; and the publication of the letter would seem to justify an inference that the com mittee of the Town Council are impressed with the notion that a mere expansion of the assertions in it will obtain water cheap and plentifully. It is very true that the Lyme district, whence the Cor poration of Manchester are seeking to procure water, is a less surface than the " territory" which is to send its ac cumulations to Liverpool. But there is a little disinge _ nuousness in passing by what will be found a " great fact" in the committee-rooms of parliament—that from the "Lancashire district" these will be hosts of claims for compensation—compensation in %rater, and not money —and that the Lyme district' is exposed to no such de mands. There are no mills, print-works, and bleacheries supplied by the drainage of Lyme Park ; not even on the sides towards Disley and Stockport. In the " Lancashire district" these establishments are numerous ; and the men of those parts are too wise in their generation not to un derstand their pecuniary interests as well as their business convenience. Allowing for the compensation in water that will be demanded, and must be conceded, the yield from the hills of Lyme will be at the very least equal to that of the Lancashire district, whilst the works will scarcely cost more than one-fourth of what Mr Ambrose Lace considers moderate for Liverpool—£4so,ooo. Then comes the very simple question, wby we in Li verpool are to doubt Mr. flawkesley's assurances. We are not aware that any engineer, even of the most estab lished reputation, is, upon his mere ipse dixit, to he ex empted from reasonable doubt, when a most important branch of his estimate, which affects both cost and quan tity, receives the barest possible notice. We take leave, and we believe many persons do, to intimate a con siaPrAhis. Fes M. LI C-- quantity as well as price. The proposed district will af ford, perhaps, all that Liverpool can possibly require ; but this is not the whole question. The question is, whether there will be sufficient, not only to supply Liverpool, but to feces-co--rho — district it‘elf - sunicletit for Its preSetif actual consumption, with provision for a rapidly increasing population, alive to the sanatory value of an adequate sup ply, as well as to the imperative necessities of extending establishments connected with manufactories. When these contingencies are considered, engineers of equal eminence with Mr. Hawkesley will unquestionably agree with ordinary pers3ns, not professional, that they con tain within them the elements of future, if not of present, insufficiency. Then as to price. Some of the parties in terested in the drainage of the proposed district may ac- cept a money compensation for what is taken from them, seeing that the Corporation of Liverpool has a good ac count at its bankers. All claims of this description must enhance the price in Liverpool. On the other hand, those who require compensation in water, will need it in - ‘7 large mlAnt;.i.... ••. - very large quantities. Alt claims of this description will reduce the aggregate yield, and materially operate upon the quantity sent hither. So far from each person having 30 gallons per diem, as Mr. Lace said, or twenty, as Mr. Hawkesley suggests, these compensations will reduce the minimum, if we remember rigntiy, spoken of in the report of the Sanatory Com missioners. A falling off in quantity, and an increase in price, however small, are not so very far beyond the range of probability as to make it a misdemeanour to doubt some of Mr. Hawkesley's assurances. They will all be thoroughly tested-in the forthcoming " tug of war," and Mr. Hawkesley must be prepared to meet others just as resolute and as competent as the opponents who perplexed and defeated him in the last session. We profess to be admirers of consistency as much in practical men of business as in those who guide us in politics ; and if a man commits himself to a great principle, either in deliberate writing or in solemn testimony, we like to see him adhere to it. We give Mr. Hawkesley all credit for merit as an engineer, but the fatal facility of thinking aloud has been the means of causing him some reproach. Certainly many of the opinions he has pro pounded on the subject of water management are in curious contrast to the task he has undertaken for the Corporation of Liverpool. He is endeavouring to give them the means of furnishing us with water, although be is absolutely convinced, and the conviction has been proudly published by himself, that they are not a fit body to have such a duty entrusted to their charge ! We refer to this gentleman's evidence before the Sana tory Commissioners—all of which is based upon the prin ciple that local bodies are, for many reasons, incompetent to serve the public in the case of water supply, au.] other purposes. Here are a few passages : I think it wo ius to invest any local body with new powers of expenditiire, without the means of supervision and regulation, by-a competent superior authority, to protect and promote the true interests of the community. Pp. 92, 93. Again, It is impossible that common local authorities, subject to all local interests and influences, could conduct such an important business with am/ proper degree of efficiency, foresight, and economy. P. 93. This is rather plain speaking; but Mr. Hawkesley no doubt believes still what he said in 1844, although he has not thought it beneath him to help one of these local bodies to conduct " the important business" of water supply, knowing beforehand that they could not conduct it with efficiency, foresight, or economy. One passage is not very complimentary to the morals of these incompetent local bodies :-- The worst and nzost inequitable provisions in private acts are usually to be found in the acts obtained by corporations, and other bodies having the command of the public purse. P. 95. Another, equally candid : The projects of public bodies are always to be looked upon with suspicion, and require the most close, preliminary, and disinterested investigation, as to the propriety, efficiency, econo my, and equity of the measure proposed. P. 95. Mr. Hawkealey must really excuse us for raking up some of his opinions, seeing that we have the same end in view as himself—the public benefit. They were read against him with some effect in one of the committee-rooms last session. He shivered with anxiety to explain. Possibly his ingenuity will enable him to make out a plausible case in his own justification.; and we are too charitable to sup pose he would apply such language now to the Corpo ration of Liverpool. His words, however, remain upon record, to be taken for what they are worth. In our next publication, we shall endeavour to show the Sanatory Committee, and the public. that much mis- conception has heretofore existed as to the abilities of the present companies to give a greater supply of water than what they at present do.; if we are correctly informed, and we believe we are, both water companies could give, in case of need, nearly double the quantity which they do at present.

It is ex pected that the church will be opened for Divine service in the course of three or four weeks. BLUE COAT HOSPITAL.—On Sunday morning, the newly-elected mayor, G. H.

Y RAILWAY.—At a *medal meeting of this coning at Rotherham, on Friday, fo r th e purpose of determiningi whether the comp an y s h ou ld be dissolved or not,he report of the direct ors recommended the dissolution of the company, so far as cz.rrying out the line of last year went, but recommended to the shareholders the prosecu tion of a line from Masbrough to Doncaster, a distance of twelve miles, for which they had caused a survey of the country to be made, And which they found could be com pleted at a cost of £270,000. For this line no tunnelling would be required, and the gradients were extremely fa vourable. The treasurer's accounts showed that a depo sit of £1 7s. 6d. per share had been paid on 31,220 shares, which amounted to £42,927 10s. The expendi ture amounted to £27,851 ss. 11d. ; the engineering, surveying, &c., having cost £7342 65., the parliamentary expenses being £9488 Is. Bd., and the expenses of wit nesses in London, with travelling, &c., were upwards of £6OOO. There was a balance in hand of £15,076 4s. ld. ; but as there were liabilities to the amount of £BO5l 14s. Id., the sum to he returned to the shareholders was re duced to £7024 10s. The recommendation of the direc tors was that those who joined the new company should receive one £25 share in respect of every four which they held in the old company; cr, in other words, each share holder who seceded from the old company would receive 18s. per share, while those joining the new company would have to pay £l. The report was unanimously adopted. Mr. Shepherd. the parliamentary agent, and as represen tative of 4200 shares, complained of the heavy expense of £2OO per mile for surveying; and the expense of £l7OO was complained of by Mr. Robertson, of Masbrough, as being too high a chare for the old plans and surveys. It was resolved that the company be now dissolved, and that it be not considered an act of bankruptcy. It will be thus seen that the old company is to be dissolved, but the share holders will carry out the line from Masbrough to Don caster, at which place it will join the London and Y- The directors have surveyed the line at their or- IANSLAUGE beat the decea Mr. Horror AWAYS A, were Lng bees MIIs of mot a expense, EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—A young French wo man, fashionably dressed, lately arrived from Southamp ton, and took up her abode at the Railway Hotel, near the Terminus, Nine Elms. A day or two after her arri val Mademoiselle de Saumarez (such was the name she gave) handed over to the landlord a bag of gold for safety. . - ind on Saturday last she produced a cheque on the Fare bam Bank for £99 13q. which she requested him to get cashed. About this time it was discovered that a cash box, containing upwards of £l5O in gold, two double sovereigns, and a cheque for £99 135., had been stolen from the house of a ship-builder living at Fareham. Mr. Gow, the superintendent of the Hants constabulary, hav ing obtained a clue to the probable retreat of the depreda tor, PXocceded to London on Monday, and, accompanied by the guard of the train that bad brought Mademoiselle de Saumarez to town, went to the hotel, and on seeing her, took her into custody. The prisoner threw berselt upon her knees, and gave the following extraordinary statement :—That a few weeks since a gentleman brought her to England and, after remaining with him for a C. --- ' . w days left her at Gosport, where she obtained apartments at a boarding-house. The family with whom she lodged introduced her to their cousin, who resided at Fareham. There she remained a week on a visit, and during that time saw the mother of her friend's cousin give him fifty sovereigns from a cash-box, which she afterwards de posited between the sacking and bed of a bedstead. She went to Southampton, where she purchased a cash-box, resembling the one she had seen, and returning with it, complained of her head aching, and requested permission to lie down far an hour before she left for Gosport. She then went to the room where the cash-box was deposited, end substituting the empty box for the full one, succeeded in leaving the house witt;out exciting suspicion being searched, the cheque and two double sorere were upon her •; and Mr. Howse, upon opening th e • • • --- -- • bag, discovered it to contain £146 in sovereigns.
