ITALY. TURIN, April 2.—Count Cavour has arrived here and is a testimony of the public confidence. An im posing demonstration was prepared for his reception. A great concourse of 'people thronged the road, shouting " Viva it re, viva Cavour ! Viva l'ltalia ! Viva Francia !" - Letters from Rome, Florence, and other towns of Italy announce that numerous subscriptions have beea opened for the purpose of affording pecuniary assistance to the Sardinian government, and also that volunteers have been despatched to Piedmont. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. PARIS, Friday Evening.—The defeat of the English Ministry, of which we received information this morning by telegraph, does not seem to have pro duced any particular impression. The public here are convinced that ,the .policy of peace, which they have set their. hearts on, will find supporters in any new new Ministerial combination, no matter from what party it be taken. A letter from Toulon, of the 29th ult., announces the departure from that port of the screw transport Isere for Algiers, to embark troops for France. It 'is stated that the officers of the army of Lyons have received what is termed in France the 'gratifi cation (field allowance), accorded to troops about to. enter on a campaign. The sth and 6th companies of the regiments of the line, which are to compose two war battalions, were to have quitted Paris to form the 4th battalion at the depot of the regiment, but a fresh order has been given that they shall send only their staifi to the depOts, and the companies shall be draughted into the war battalions which are being formed in Paris. It is said that a camp of observation is to be formed at Belley, in the department of the Ain, and at a short distance from Culoz and the frontiers of Savoy. This camp will receive two regiments of infantry of the line, three. regiments of Algerian riflemen, and the two . foreign regiments. The Minister of Marine has received orders to send ships to Algeria to bring these troops to France. Rear- Admiral Dupoy had an audience yesterday of the Emperor, which kited a long time.. Admiral Dupoy is the inventor of the new gunboat, of which the Emperor has adopted the model. Two officers belonging to the Commissariat of the Sardinian army have arrived in Paris to receive the military clothing contracted for in France. For several days past a curious incident, which assumes the character of regular swindling, has been the topic of conversation in every circle in Paris ; but, from want of novelty, or some other cause, it is certain that astonishment is not the feeling it has excited. It appears that a certain Count, and who not long ago filled the office of Pre fect in one of the departments, and was very recently named officer of the Legion of Honour, is now in prison on a charge of the above description. It appears that, having dressed up a friend of his in the uniform of a general officer, he introduced him to the projectors of a saltpetre manufacturing company, as aide-de-camp to the Minister at War, an d,offered, onthe part of the War office, to give a large order, on condition of receiving a handsome consideration from the minister. The offer was, it seems, further supported. by a pre tended letter from another general attached to the Imeperial household. A sum of 50,000 f. was obtained from the company. The discovery was brought about in a curious manner. It happened to be on Sunday week last, when .the Imperial Guard was reviewed, that the costumier was applied to for the uniform. That day was fixed on to avoid suspicion, the general officers in Paris being in attendance on the Emperor during the review, and consequently in full dress. Hardly had the tradesman furnished the costume when he reflected how strange it was that it should be asked for on such a day, and the suspicion glanced across his mind that it was for the use of some dangerous person who, for sinister purposes, wished to join the cortege. He at once gave infor mation to the police, who went on the track of the " General," and discovered the affair. The Count was, it appears, well known in society, where, be sides other distinctions, he was remarked for his numerous decoration, 20 or 24 in number, which hung like a batterie de cuisine on ,his breast—how or where gained is not stated. It appears that on the night before his arrest he was present at one of the Ministerial balls. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, March 30.--Yesterday evening it was related that Sardinia had consented to disarm,but no official confirmation of the report has been re ceived. Austria, who a few days ago was extremely warlike and intractable, is now pacific and concilia tory, and the sudden change which has come over her is perhaps to be attributed to the attitude recently assumed by Russia. A suspension of the armaments is even spoken of, and it is probable that this Government would disarm if France and Sardinia would also do so. Austria would hardly object to a change in those parts of the special conventions which give her a right to send troops into the Italian duchies for the maintenance of peace and order, if any other means of keeping the revo lutionary party within due bounds could be found. If a confederation were to be formed between the Central Italian States (Rome, Tuscany, Modena, and Parma), the necessity for the interference of Austaia in internal matters might perhaps be obviated. The Austrian and German papers are still arguing whether Sardinia ought or ought not to be admitted to the Congress, but there is reason to believe that the Powers have already agreed to invite all the Italian Powers to send representatives, but merely as consultative members of the august assembly. The ordinance by which Christian servants are prohibited to serve in Jewish families is likely to be rescinded in Vienna and in some of the provincial capitals, but it will be carried out to the very letter in Lemberg, where the so-called " Ghetto" (separate quarter for the Jews) has been re-established by Count Goluchowsky, the priest-ridden Stadtholder of the province of Galacia. - This Government is so offended with the conduct of the Porte in respect to the submarine telegraph from Cerigo to Alexandria, that it threatens to cut off the communications between the Austrian and Turkish telegraphs, if complete satisfaction is not given. SARDINIA. The following is the text of a protest sent by Count de Cavour to Count Brassier de Saint-Simon, Prussian Minister at Turin, against the violation of the Sardinian territory, committed by an Austrian patrol : TURIN, March 20. —" Excellency,-1 hive just been informed by th e com p e t en t l oca l au thorities that last night eleven armed Austrian infantry soldiers, commanded by a sergeant, violated the Sardinian territory at the passage of Limido, near the place called Stanzaverde, by penetrating by Sabbione on the territory of Carbonara. These men did not return into Lombardy until a quarter-past five in the morning by the bridge of Gravellona. They declared that they had lost their way, and they requested to be directed to the Pavia road. Taking into account the explanations given by these soldiers, and without giving to this fact an import ance which it perhaps does not merit. I, nevertheless, think it my duty to point it out to the attention of the Cabinet of Vienna. This violation of territory might have been attended with very serious consequences, if the King's Government had followed the example of Austria, and placed advanced posts on the extreme limits of the frontier. In such a case, if the Austrian patrol had been met b_y our soldiers, collisionwouldhave been inevitable. eon sequently leave to the impartial judgment of any unpre judiced person to judge of the disastrous effects which the measures adopted by the Cabinet of Vienna might paoduce, if the King's Government did not endeavour to guard against them by a conduct 'full of reserve . and moderation. I request your Excellency to make what precedes known to the Cabinet of Vienna. Accept, &c., C. CAvouß. t: ;1 ; 1 01 , r r r . / . rriirr THE NOUTRERN TIMES,- MONDAY, APII-IL--41-4859------- SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 28th ult. contains a Royaldecree, which sanctions the bill of 2,000,000,000 reals adopted by the Cortes. The Chambei of Deputies lately resolved to discuss the long-pending question of the erection of a statue to Mendizabel, once a week, and accordingly part of the sitting of the 26th was devoted to it, but no decision was come to, and a new adjournment took place. The se nators of the Callloge party to the number of 26 had held a meeting in the house of the Duke de Rivas, to decide whether or not they should persist in their resolution to abstain from attending the Senate ; and, in spite of the opposition of six Senators, it was agreed that the resolution should be abandoned, and that the Senators should resume their seats. General Callonge himself voted with the majority. The Madrid journals state that, on the 27th ult. a fire broke out in one of the dependencies of the Royal stables filled with forage, and that, although 800 'soldiers were employed to extinguish it, it was not got under for nearly ten hours, The journals do not say how the fire was caused, nor what was the damage done, but they state that some persons were " suffocated or injured." LITERARY AND MUSICAL GOSSIP. Letters from Romc state that the Prince of Wales con tinues to examine all works of art in tne Vatican continually, and the different artists' studios. Although only just returned from Circassia, M. Alexandre Dumas has already commenced publishing in the feailleton of the Itfoniteur a history of an episode in the wars of the Caucasus. We may remind our readers that a subscription is on foot for raising a testimonial to the late Mr. William Weir, long and honourably connected with newspaper literature and the Daily Hews. Tenors would seem to abound in France. The Semaphore of Marseilles states that, in the space of six months, not fewer than twenty-four tenor singers have made their debut at the theatre in that place. We (Athenceum) understand that Mr. Tennyson's new volume of Poems, which is nearly ready for the press, is entitled " The King's Idylls," and that the subject relates to the legend of King Arthur. The issue of tickets for the Handel Commemoration at the Chrystal Palace, in June, is said to have exceeded the most sangnine expectations. The acoustic arrangements are likely to prove most successful. All lovers of letters -let them take the word in whichever sense they please---will be glad to hear that M. Perrotin's appeal to those who had correspondence with Beranger has already called in 2,200 of his letters. The site of the new Opera in Paris has been at last decided. The building is to occupy the, spot upon which the Hotel d'Osmond stood until recently. It is situated in the best part of Paris, and upon one 'of the most open of the Boulevards. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort has consented to patronise the performance of Haydn's celebrated cantata, The Seasons, at Exeter Hall, on the 10th of May next, for the benefit of the London Society for the Protection of Young Females. The conditional donor—after death, we suppose—of a library of 17,000 volumes to the Literary Fund is Mr. John Forster, author of " The Life and Times of Oliver Goldsmith," and other books of permanent value in onr literature. The conditional donor of £lO,OOO to the same fund is understood to be Miss Burdett Coutts, but of this we are not certain.—lllustrated Hews. Dnring the seasons 1857-8 and 1858-9, Mr. Halle has produced at his orchestral concerts, in Manchester, nine of Beethoven's grand orchestral symphonies, four of Hadyn's, four of Mozarts, and two of Mendelssohn's ; nearly sixty overtures and nearly fifty piano-forte solos and concerted pieces, in which Mr. * Hallehas taken part ; besides a long list of miscellaneous and vocal pieces, and two oratorios—the " Messiah" and the " Creation." This list is a very interesting musical record. A musical festival is to be held in Edinburgh, in com memoration of the Handel Centenary, on the 7th, Bth, and 9th of April. The performances will consist of Judas Maeciaboeus, the Messiah, a selection from Samson, and a selection from Adis and Galatea. The principal vocalists will include Mrs. Sunderland, Mrs. W. Howard, Mr. Perrin, Mr. Wilbye Cooper, Mr. Weiss, &c. The orchestra will consist of 60 performers, and the horus of 150 voices. M. Sainton will officiate as conductor. In re the authorship of the " Vestiges," the Cede donjon Mercury has the following :—" To put an end to this, now and for ever, I hereby affirm—and the proofs of this affirmation lie before me fresh and incontrovertible as they did a dozen years ago —that Mr. Robert Chambers is the sole and responsible author of ' Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation.' I say responsible' in a somewhat qualified sense, leaving others to fix the amount of respon sibility they would attach to an ingenious compilation, but very general misapprehension, of the scientific opinions and discoveries of others.---I am, &c., DAVID PAGE: It was the Marquis of Hertford who gave two thousand five hundred and fifty guineas for the Sir Joshua portrait of " Mrs. Hoare and Child ;" it was my Lord Ward wh?, on the same day and in the same room, gave eleven hundred guineas for the Sir Joshua portrait of " Miss Penelope Boothby," Another thousand, it is said, would not have stopped Lord Hertford. His lordship was determined to have the picture. If Reynolds is up in the market, Turner is going down. In the year 1853 the well-known Mr.Win dus, of Tottenham, gave £746 for Turner's " Dawn of Christianity," and on Saturday last he only got 320 guineas for his purchase. In 1853 the same gentleman gave £735 for Tnrner's " Glaucus and Scylla," and on Saturday last thought himself fortunate in obtaining 280 guineas far his over-estimated atqnisition. The world of fine sentiment, says the Athenceum, has been shocked by reports in the newspapers that the gentle men who have found the bones of John Hunter in one grave and deposited them in another, " between the bodies of Wilkie and Jonson," have been •tossing the skull that shaped " Volpone" and "The Alchemist" from hand to hand. The words on Shakspeare's tomb have natnrally risen to every reverential and poetic lip. But we dare say the skull of Jonson is as mythical as the body of Wilkie— and, perhaps, the bones of Hunter. The body of Wilkie, as Captain Joy' can testify, lies in the bed of the Mediter ranean. Gentlemen who 'know that Wilkie lies in a par ticular spot of Westminster, must be good authority (very good) for any particular skull being that of Ben Jonson. THE CONGRESS ON THE ITALIAN QUESTION.—It is rumoured that Count Cavour has refused to allow Sardinia to be represented at the approaching Congress on the affairs of Italy. Mr. DISRAELI. —No modern parliamentary champion could have acquitted himself throughout a most difficult and disheartening crisis better than Mr. Disraeli has done ; and whatever may be the effect of the policy of Lord Derby upon his party, his Chancellor of the Exchequer has been a great gainer, and has accumulated a very large amount of what in the slang of the day is called political capital. Nobody ever doubted his genius ; and the absurd scurrility . that affected to doubt it, answered itself. But he has in these latter months shown so much patience, skill, and forbearance, that it is matter of regret that no re-arrangement of offices can prevent his services being lost to the country for the present. I wes not a Disraehte in other days—l am not one now ; nor an Anybodyelseite ; but the man who withholds admiration from Mr. Disraeli as Lord Derby's leader of the Commons, simply fails to understand parliamentary warfare.—" Council of Ten," in Literary Gazette. SHIPPING CASUALTIES.—The Soskominereer, Neilson, of and from Krazero, for Liverpool, with deals and battens, has been picked up about mid-channel, water-logged, a total wreck, and derelict, having been in collision with the Iron Era, of Hartlepool. No tidings of the crew of this schooner. The Rolla (barque), of Hull, bound to New York with coals, has been abandoned, being waterlogged in lat. 49 N. and long. 12 W. The Em meline, Brown, which put in at Stromness on the 27th March, was badly stove by the ice in a heavy gale, from SE on the 20th March, snd saw eight sail of vessels on the morning of the same day. No seals. The Blakestone, from Shields to Harbin, foundered on 28th March, in lat. 55 N., long. 4E. Crew saved by the Lady Alice. The Sarah, of Liverpool, sunk near Rhyl, 30th of March. Crew saved. A letter from Belfast, 31st March, says, the Jane, of and for Belfast, from Ayr, in coming up the river last night, was run into by the Prince of Wales (steamer), for Fleetwood, and to prevent sinking was run upon the land. The steamer proceeded. The . Emmeline Brown arrived here 25th March, from Green land, being obliged to return, having sustained damage in theice, and proceeded on the 26th for Hull ; she brings no account from other ships. The Julius Schulat, from Hamburg to Konigsberg, with merchandise, stranded on the Scaw, about 30th March. A vessel waterlogged was seen about 100 miles off Whitby, b,y the Great Northern, arrived in the Tyne on 26th ult.• The : Lightning, steatn tug, and another steamer, proceeded in Search of the dere lict, but, after having been over twenty-four hOtir. B at sea) returned unsuccessful. THE POLITICAL CRISIS. The Times says it was stated ex Friday night, that, in a very high quarter, there existed a very strong feeling that a general election was the proper solution of the difficulty. The plea may be that the Parliament which reforms itself should be elected for the express purpose, and that so great a responsibility should be thrown on the constituent body ; but thus the present House has shewn itself quite as com petent to discuss and settle the question as any other House that might be returned. A general election is always an evil. It will be a great evil now, without a necessity — without a reason —with hardly a pretence. It is stated, indeed, that giving way apparently to resentment, Ministers are resolved to stand their ground till placed in a minority on a direct question of confidence, and in that case to appeal to the people. In other words, that they will not resign without a dissolution. The Daily News says that a meeting of Lord Derby's supporters had been summoned for one o'clock on Saturday. It conjectures that her Majesty must have assigned some special ground for hesitating to accept the resignation of ministers, as there are probably few things which the court is less disposed to view-with favour than a dissolution of parliament on any great party questions. The Daily News asks if Lord Derby is prepared to tell his followers that, on the morrow of his defeat, he placed his resignation in the hands of her Majesty ; that, for reasons he will in due time disclose, he has consented to reassume • the reins of power ; but that to do so with di, , rnity, he must have an assurance from them that they would support him in a second attempt to legislate on the subject of reform, with a view to which certain modifications of the, existing cabinet will be indispensable ; and finally, that, should he be again intercepted, he is prepared at once to, appeal to the country. The Morning _Post thinks it probable that Lord Derby has not yet resigned office, and equally probable that if he has suggested a dissolution to the Queen, that his proposi tion has been deemed undesirable in the present state of affairs. _ _ The Post says it will not be surprised if the noble lord makes an appeal to his party to continue their support to him, and if he deem the critical state of Europe a suffi cient justification for not hastily relinquishing office. The Morning Star presumes it is scarcely possible, after Disraeli's speech, that the present Government would undertake another Reform Bill, framed so as to satisfy the condition of Lord John Russell's resolution, unless the House be contented to take the course of supper ting a Government without any reform at all. It cannot see that their retention of office is possible for the present ministers. The members of the Carlton Club are said to have already declared against a dissolution, and it may be, perhaps, upon, this point, that the views of the Conservative member§ are to be consulted at Lord Derby's house. The Herald does not furnish any semi-official accounts of the crisis, but dwells. with gratification on the fact, that against the various factions ranged for a few hours under one banner, the Conservatives, on Thursday night, mustered in the division 301, including tellers and pairs, while half-a dozen leaders, including politicians of every line, by dint of extraerdinary efforts, only managed to bring into the field a majority of Chitty-nine over a single party, More than one journal states that Her Majesty has sent for the Marquis. of Lansdown to advise Her Majesty as to what course she ought to adopt. Of the 105 members for Ireland, ninety-seven were present, and took part in the Reform division. Of these, fifty-six supported the Government, and forty-one were in favour of the resolution of Lord John Russell. The fifty six Government supporters consisted of forty-five Conserva tives, and eleven declared Liberals. The names of those eleven gentlemen are—Blake, Bowyer, Brady, Corbally, Gregory, Hassard, Heard, Lever, McEvoy, Maguire, and Sir D. Norreys. (From the Press.) They may, it appears to us, under these circumstances, without any . infringement of constitutional usages, elect either to resign and leave it to others to form an adminis tration, or they may ask the sovereign to give them the opportunity of making an appeal to the country, or they may remain at their posts ; at all events, till such time as they can bring to an issue the present alarming complica tions in Europe, standing, from a sense of duty, in the mean time in the position of challengers against all comers, and awaiting the brunt .of a direct vote of censure upon their ge neral policy. The first of the three courses would, no doubt, be the one most in consonance with the feelings naturally excited at the moment by defeat, and it might not impro bably be the most embarrassing to those politicians who have combined to effect it It would be consistent with political usage ; and no one could deny, should such be the determination of Lord Derby's Cabinet, that they had laid down with dignity the power which they assumed with disinterestedness and patriotism. At the same time, if Mr. Disraeli's eloquent representation of the present condition of the European difficulty be correct —and we see no reason to doubt it—the government have a duty other than that which they owe to themselves, founded upon higher and more important considerations—. a duty to the civilised world and to humanity. It rests with them to decide to which they will give the preference. In their breasts is the feeling, and to their judgment we leave the determination. (From the Saturday Review.) As might have been expected, "the dodge" has succeeded. The heterogeneous elements of a a disunited opposition have been combined for a moment to defeat the cause which they profess to espouse. Sir E.llulwer Lytton, in one of his novels, has very profoundly remarked that it is apopular error to have fixed upon night as the season of conscience and remorse. It is the next morning," as he well observed, when the sense of an irretrievable fault overwhelms the slaves of passions with the sentiment of black dismay at the conse quences of deeds which they can no longer recall, Of the 330 gentlemen who have been constrained, by various and inconsistent considerations, to shatter the last chance of a reasonable and speedy settlement of the question of reform, we believe that a very considerable majority already look back to the work at which they have assisted with no very complacent reflections. We suppose that in the history of parties a more unwilling majority was never marshalled by a whip in a division which their conscience condemned and their patriotism dissuaded. We must wait till Mon day night to learn the whole consequences to which the obstinate selfishness of an unscrupulous faction has devoted the country. _ _ (From the Spectator.) Our contemporaries are noting the usual three courses which lie before ministers—to dissolve, to resign, or to go on, simply dropping the bill. As a temporary expedient, the last course would not be inconvenient to any party ; it would facilitate the passing of some business which rather presses upon the House of Commons and the executive, such as the budget. A dissolution would lay the grand question before the public in an aspect most injurious to the present government, and that in many ways ; for instance, boroughs to be disfranchised would feel no favour for the authors of the bill; on the other hand the liberal party generally would find that they could obtain a larger measure from Lord John Russell, Mr. Bright, and Mr. S. Herbert, while the most prudent as well as earnest portion of the liberal party would discern in the indication given by Sir James Graham, triat measure which would be the favourite. (From the John Bull.) The best way of solving the difficulty, as it seems to us, is to carry on the session to an end, and despatch the necessary business required, on the understanding that the country shall be appealed to at its close. At all events, England demands of Lord Derby that she shall have an opportunity of making her voice heard in a matter of such vital importance. • * * * We have some reasons to believe that should a change of ministry be unfortunately forced on her Majesty, the Duke of Newcastle is the statesman who is most likely to be summoned to her councils. In that case the people of England would not be sorry for the oppor tunity of making some reparation for the injustice which was done to the noble duke at the time of our Crimean disasters. (From the Sunday Times.) Lord Derby must be convinced that, with his party, he alone can stem the torrent and avert the tempest which, once let loose, would sweep over the land like a devouring con flagration. When ministers have before abandoned the helm, the property and working classes were not in that antagonism in which we now behold them. Does Lord Derby wish to prevent a rising of " the fustian jackets," as the Times designates the working classes---does he wish to check that fearful movement which would bring ruin to the castles, without giving happiness to the cottages ; in a word, does he wish to preserve order at home and peace abroad ? Then let him act as the national voice, wherever it can be ascertained, dictates ; let him do his obvious duty, and remain at the helm. (From the Weekly Dispatch.)' The Derby Reform Bill is defeated by a majority of 39. This is the first move, and a very good one. It clears the ground of " rubbish." Notwithstanding Mr. Disraeli's lament, we do not think the peace of Europe at all compro mised by the loss of "Mr. Harris," or that Lord John Russell in the least compromises the dignity and influence of this country in emphatically separating both from any identity with " Lord Malmesbury in office." We hope to see an English foreign policy now. COUNT CAVOUE.—The gossips of Paris recount the fol lowing little incident :---Monday evening M. de Cavour went alone, and in the strictest incognito, to take a cup of coffee at the Café Cardinal, at the corner of the Boulevard and the Rue Richelieu. But, as many Italians meet at this place, he was immediately recognised. The crowd collected in the cafe immediately rose and took off their hats. The Minister, not a little embarrassed and moved, returned the salute, took hie coffee hurriedly, and withdrew as quickly as possible, to escape geimal attention, if i r - THE GREAT WATER CONTROVERSY IN TRANME Counter creation T r rates too t o o n o w e excessive s ground v r e o u t n o d b e do borne you ? .

I have spoken at your two large meetings, and endeavoured to set forth what appears to me to I be the reasonable side in this discussion ; and I appeal to you now, as though it were to be the last word I should write, to sweep away the wretched and barbarous system I have described.

T. M. DOWNHAM. P.S. Since writing the above, I have seen an abstract of the new Highway Act, now before Parliament, and which will become law this session. It takes the management of the highways from the people, and hands it to the justices of the peace. The latter cut and carve each county into districts, form themselves into a board, levy rates, abolish the present surveyors, and inflict upon us any change they, "in their wisdom," may think proper. We should then not only have "justices' justice," but magisterial govern ment. The same principle is contained in the Constabulary Act, by which Tranmere has to pay for constables for other places, and under which our rates have increased 8d in the pound. The adoption of the Local Act exempts us from the operation of this new tyranny. Let us be wise in time. Let us not be deceived. These compulsory acts are a curse. The Local Act may be made a general and perma nent blessing.---T.

The paramount question to be decided appears.to me to be this : Is the adoption of the local act a sacrifice to public good? That will depend on the previous question, would the works prove a remunerative investment to the township ? or in other words, would they pay . ? 'ln determining this matter, all will depend upon three things. Ist. The original outlay. 2nd. The public demand. 3rd. The management and administration of the works. With respect to the first question, the evidence of Mr. Doweray, the very eminent and wealthy contractor, of London, given to the parliamentary committee, puts that at rest. His answer : " I will be glad to complete all the works in eight months for less than £15,000" (say £13,200 the c. e. estimate) is final and decisive. That offer scatters to the winds the wild fabrications of £2O, £25, and £30,000 concocted and spread by the votaries of private speculation. Two or three points are worthy of consider ation. 1. If a private company promise a large per tentage upon their scheme, why cannot the township derive an equal benefit i 2. No water supply in the kingdom has turned out a failure. Why should it do so here? Why should Tranmere be the exception ? 3. The company take absolute powers to construct, and. do not allow Tranme;e, if it wished to do so, to compel the sale of their works, or to erect its own. In fact, there is no clause saving local rights, and, therefore, if the population increases twenty fold, and the scheme becomes a princely investment, we and our successors lose all the good, because a private company have been permitted to enjoy the mo nopoly. 4. Nearly all the active promoters of the private company are either shareholders, or are supporting it blindly through ties of party, or interestedly through dependence upon others. 5. Some of these shareholders have stated their readiness to support the Local Act if their pet project of the com pany is not opposed. The reporters notes of our public meetings prove this. 6. If Tranmere, with it.; ever-increasing population, is not essential to the success of the company, why not save the expense of parliamentary warfare, and strike it from their will? The company know why. Secondly. As to the number of persons taking water, that, in any case, must remain a matter of speculation. Bnt, there is no *doubt, the demand. is exceedingly great, and will be more steady and large if met by the public, rather than a private company. Bearing this in mind, let the company answer a plain question ; If you can realise 81 per cent., why may not the township obtain much more ? Thirdly. As to the management—it is worse than absurd to say that public management is not so profitable as private—that depends on the men elected to manage. We are told that private individuals are influenced by sel fishness. Have public men no such passion in its nobler form ? No Englishman will dare the utterance of a libel so intensely gross. Were that the case patriotism and public spirit, and devo tion to the popular weal must be unknown.
