Lo,,s or Two Lives AT NIAGARA
Nt.tu ILI FALLS, Sept. 12.—This afternoon, while a terri-
ble wind was blowing up the gulf, two men were disco-
vered in a small boat in the rapids south of the Three
Sister?. They were struggling deperately with the waves,
but human power was utterly unavailing. Hundreds of
persons were on Goat Island and saw them, but, of course,
were unable to render any assistsnce. The terror-stricken
Men rowed with frantic efforts to the very verge of the
precipice, and finally went over still clinging to the oars.
Mr. Cooper, the postmaster at the town of Chippewa, on
the Canada side, two miles above the Falls, started
with Frank Leutze, the ferryman, to cross the river
in a small boat. Usually the course is to pull
about two miles up the river before attempt-
ing to cross, but on this occasion the unfortunate men
seemed to have imagined that the heavy wind blowing up
stream would counteract the force of the current, and con-
sequently
attempted to cross in a direct line. The result
was the same as it has been on three former occasions
when similar attempts have been made, and their lives
paid the forfeit of this mistake. The rapids of the Nia-
gara are too awful in their power to be trilled with. It
is singular that Lentz., the ferryman, who bed crossed and
recrmsed a hundred times in all kinds of weather, should
lave so sadly misjudged the force of the current, and
ovetestimated to such a degree the strength of the wind.

THE WC-ICING OF HANOVER.
At Vienna, on Saturday last, the es-King of
Hanover gave a banquet to a deputation of Hano-
verian' who had brought him an address signed by
264,000 persons. The ex-King and the Prince
Royal placed themselves amidst 22 members of the
deputation and of 60 other Hanoverian resident at
Vienna. The ex-King, in replying to the tint toast,
said :
I am profoundly affected by the love and the fidelity
which you have testified towards me in the name of the
Hanoverian people. In the past this people have had
the occasion to prove its love and its fidelity. At the com-
mencement of this century it held with unshaken
fidelity to the house of the Guelphs, notwithstanding
foreign domination, and this fidelity was rewarded.
The dynasty of my ancestors was restored and re-united
to the people. As the people persevered then so they will
persevere now also. I have confidence in the justice of
God which will bring again the house of the Guelphs to
the seat of its ancestors. I ask you then to drink to
the prosperity of our dear country, following the ancient
custom of giving three cheers.
A member of the deputation, proposing the
health of the King, protested energetically against
this conduct of Prussia.

THE FRXICKFORT PROTEST.

The Continental journals publish a lengthy
document, consiii*g of the protest of the Frank-
f ortbourgeoisie igamst their absoration into the Prus-
sian monarchy. They urge that they have been
neither hostile to Prussia nor to the views
of M. Bismarck, and contend that a neutralised
spot between the north and south of Germany is
indispensable. Frankfort, changed into a pro-
vincial city, will be wholly unable to contribute to
the conciliation of existing antipathies. But
Frankfort, independent, respected in its autonomy
and in its integrity, would have fur Prussia all the
more sympathy and attachmentfrom knowing that it
was simply to the respect for right and to the love
of justice that it owes the preservation of its
ancient liberties ; and, even were it unwilling,
would feel itself irresistibly impelled to become a
centre of propagandism in the work of completing
the national objects. The citizens declare that
Frankfort isready to renounce itsindependence and
its sovereignty without a murmur when the union
of entire Germany is accomplished, but so long as
this unification is incomplete the independence of
their city is very dear to them. They conclude in
the following terms
We'are proud to be able to make the aainuanco that the
population of Frankfort, with au unanimity without
example. is animated with the ardent desire of conserving,
under prevent circumstances, her liberty, her autonomy,
and her territorial integrity; up to the latest hour, we
entertain this hope ; from generation to generation we
have transmitted the remembrance of this era of liberty
and of independence—of an era, of an epoch inwhich civil
•
life and communal organisation had for the corner stone
the love of all for all. We hold unchangeably to our old
right,our old faith, our old affections, and our old fidelity.

ITALIAN TROOPS ON THE PONTIFICAL

FRONTIERS,

A Turin journal, the Prorineia, announces that
the Italian government, taking into consideration
the approaching expiration of the term fixed by the
convention of September 15 for the departure of
the last corps of the French army, has deemed it
neoessary to conoentrate some troops upon the fron-
tiers of the Pontifical State, "in order to prevent
any act which thoughtlessness or malevolence
might suggest." The Procincia adds that these
troops, which form part of the fourth division, will
be stationed principally at Perugia, Orvieto, Rieti,
and at Terni, under the command of General
Ferrero.

RUSSIA AND FRANCE.

The I'n sae of Vienna asserts that Prince Gort-
chaleff is about to pay a visit to the Emperor
Napoleon at Biarritz, and connects this visit with
the new aspect of affairs in the East. " Russia,'
it says, " considers itself the principal heir to the
sick man, who to all appearance has never been so
near his end."

Mrsic-HALL SICK FCND.—Yesterday afternoon
a crowded meeting of the ladies and gentlemen connected
with the music-hall profession was held in Wes wn's Music-
ian, Holborn, for the purpose of takin-, into consideration
whether, as a body, they shouldestablish a sick fund in con-
nexion with the proposed almshouses, or whether the
should unite with the existing Dramatic and Musical Sick
Fund, of which Mr. R. Webster is president, and which
has been in existence for twelve years. Mr. Holland oc-
cupied the chair, and briefly explained the object of the
meeting. The music-hall profession, in his opinion, were
not adequately represented on the board of management
of the fund over which Mr. Webster presided. Probably
if that difficulty could be got over, the objection existing
in the profession to uniting with that fund might be re-
moved. Mr. W. Page moved the following resolution
" That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable that a
sick fund be now established in connexion with the music-
hall profession only." Mr. W. West seconded the resolu-
tion, which was supported by Messrs. Haywood, Brett,
Nub, Allen, and P. Cord. Messrs. C. Sloman, Julian,
and Mills considered it would be more beneficial to the
profession if they joined the existing fund. After consi-
derable discussion, Mr. J. W. Anson, the secretary of the
Dramatic and Musical Sick Fund, said, on behalf of his
committee, they would be prepared to meet the wishes
of the music-hall profession, and accept more of its mem-
bers on their committee. This offer having put a new bee
on the matter, it was ultimately resolved to adjourn the
discussion until Tuesday next, for further consideration.

A CONSTITUTION FOR EGYPT.

The Indipcndanee Belge announced two days ago
that a remarkable transformation was on the eve of
taking place in Egypt. The fact, says the Temps,
is now confirmed. Egypt is about to have a con-
stitution based upon the French political organisa-
tion. The country will be divided into 60 electoral
colleges, electing as many representatives, who will
be invested with the same rights as the French
legislative body. All the elements of which the
Egyptian population is composed—Turks, Arabs,
Armenians, Copts, &c., will take part in the
nomination of the members of this assembly.
The duty of preparing the laws will devolve upon
a special body corresponding with the French
Senate and Council of State. According to the
Brussels paper this project kept till now strictly
secret in Egypt, and arranged by Ismail Pacha
with the assistance only of one of his principal
ministers, Nubar Pacha, has been during the visit
of the viceroy to Constantinople communicated to
the Porte, which has authorised its adoption
without expressing any opinion upon it. It has
also been submitted to tho Monk go/annual)

SCHAMYL, THE CIRCASELANI

After his capture in 1859, Schamyl, the celebrated
Circassian chief, was sent with his family to Ks-
lougs. Be seems to have expected nothing but
harsh treatment from his conquerors, but the Rus
sian policy was otherwise, and he has from time to
time, it appears, been loaded with Im-
perial favours. A spacious house is at his disposal,
and an income more than sufficient for his wants.
On the occasion of the death of his favourite
daughter, a courier was sent to Schamyl in the
Caucasus with the body of the deceased. This
seems to have touched the venerable chief, who at
once addressed an autograph letter to the Czar,
which is given at length in the Russian papers.
Schamyl here declares himself to be no less
vanquished by the Emperor's kindness than
by his arms, and begs that he and his children
may be allowed to take the oath of fidelity.
" I am ready," he says, " to pronounce it
before the entire people. I invoke, as the witnesses
of my loyalty and of the purity of my thoughts,
Almighty God and Mahomet, his prophet. I
will take the oath before the body, scarcely chilled,
of my beloved daughter Naphisato, and upon the
holy Koran." The Czar at once acceded to the re-
quest,and accordingly on the 7th inst. Schamyl and
his sons took the oath of fidelity to the Emperor and
to the Grand Duke at Kalouga. After the
ceremony the representative of the nobles
of the province addressed the exile in the
name of the Russian government: " Live in
peace, valiant veteran," he said, "in this city
where your noble character is honoured, and where
your calm and modest life is a theme of constant
praise. May you long continue this irreproachable
life, glorifying the high magnanimity of your pro-
tector,onrbeloved sovereign Alexander the Second."
The reply of Schamyl, as given in the Russian
papers, is full of protestations of loyalty, and reads
RS though it had been very freely translated from
the original Arabic by a Russian official.

SHOCKING RELIGIOUS OUTRAGE IN

ITALY.

In yesterday's Express we published the fact that
a horrible outrage had taken place at Barletta, a
town On the Adriatic coast, containing about 2,000
inhabitants, and that some protestants had lost their
lives. The Nazione of Florence now gives the fol-
lowing more ample details :
The ignorant populatioa were worked on by a priest named
Ruggiero with the object ct destroying the proiestants. The
result wee that three of these unfortunate persons were
burned alive, others were thrown out of the windows, and
others beaten to death with clubs. The oßloes of the sub-
prefecture were also attacked by the mob, and all letters
and furniture they contained destroyed. The sub-
prefect was maltreated, and only saved his life by
escaping to a Oboe of concealment. One of the
guards of publics security was killed. Two houses were
also burped, end many others sacked. The number of
persons said to be murdered by the rioters amounts to 13.
A detachment of soldiers was ordered with all haste from
Taal., end by their mignon order was restored. /deny
arrestor have bees made, isolnding several priests sad monks.
U. Meyer, the Evangelical pastor of Barletta, has ad-
dressed the following letter to the Corriere ileac Marche
of Ancona :

" Barletta, March 20.

"Yesterday our hall of conference was assailed by a
swarm of modern Pharisee, led by a priest named Bag-
gier Tostiglione, who foe severe' dsys met had been ex-
citing the popular* to enemies against the protestant'.
The whole building was set on fire ; four of our
brethren were killed, or, I should rather my, two of our
brethren and two pined who came to their assistance.
Ooe of our ministers saved himself by a miracle. I my-
self escaped over the roofs of the houses. The house of
D. C., the wine merchant. was completely burned down ;
be himself escaped. I write to you still concealed in •
cellar of my home."
A letter from Bari in the Corriere says that
amodgst the persons arrested are four priests, a
capuchin monk, six women, and a banker,on whose
person was found a list of 200 persons destined for
" sacrifice."

IIL BRIGHT'S crerza ON Tax Rl7Olll BILL.

The rinses represents fir. Bright es saying in effect that
parliament has a deep detestation of the Reform 8,11, bat
that you have only to shout loud enough and collect in suffi-
cient cambers, and it will pocket the affront, and pass the
bill. This picture of the Hones of Commons is a gross exag-
geration on • very slight basis of truth, and the estimate of
public opinion out of doors is equally falladous. He is
making • frantic attempt to raise the ghost of 1331,
when all classes of society were suffering from the
direst distress. There was reason to fear in those day■ ;
what fear is there now There is none ►mongst any class ,
of employers save fear of all their working men enddealy
presenting themselves to demand higher wages for less
work, or conditions still more likely to embarrass pro-
, dation and enterprise. Mr. Bright lets out the true
secret of the course taken by him and his ministerial
coadjutors. They do not appeal to the House of Com-
mons, but to the brutish fear of the people. The house i•
to pass the bill, because if it does not the masses
will assemble and it will be the worse for ft.
As, in Mr. Bright's estimate, they who support • fran-
chime bill shutting their eyes to everything are dirty slaves,
while they who deemed a complete and final measure sire
only "dirty conspirators, we will make our choice, and
be abused for doing our day, rather than for abandoning
it wider impotent thresh, and wild terrors.

to the 13th inst. The excitement in Canada over
the apprehended Fenian invasion appears to be
intense, and the provincial measures for defence
are being vigorously pushed forward. Lord
Bionck, the Governor General, has issued orders
calling out the militia and designating the different
organisations required for service. In one we read :

The Oomma•der-in-Chief regrets that he is compelled,
as • measure of prudential, to call for the active services
of so large a number of the volunteer force. This step
does not result from the existence of • coodition of war
between oar sovereign and any foreign Skate. ft is roe-
dered necessary, in the performance of the duty
which has devolved on the government, of mate( provision
for protecting the lives and properties of the inhabitants of
this province against the threatened piratical attacks of law.
less men who use the ter r:tory of a neighbouring power for
the purpose of openly organising enterprises against the
sovereign rights of our Queen and the security of her sub-
jects. The Commander-in-Chief relies with caufidenee on
the loyal spirit of the Canadians to nest this
extraordinary state of facts, and feels aimed
that, if accessary, the entire population of the pro.
winos would come forward to resist say ievasion of the coat
try. The Commander-in-Chief knows that it is not neces-
sary to address any observation to the officers and men
now called out for active service, on the importance of
strict attention to their military duties ; and be is con-
vinced that should the threats of attack be earried into effect,
the Canadian volunteers of the present day will, with
Ood's blessing, meat with as much success is repelling such
I a criminal and waatoo outrage against humanity and civili-
sation as was given to their ancestors, whoa they were
called upon to roll back from their territories the tide of
legitimate war, or to repulse the attacks of lawless le-
, vsdere. _ _ _ _ _

Allithe volunteers called out are to be placed under
the regulations of strict military law, and are sub-
ject to the orders of Lieutenant-General Sir John
Michel, commander of the British forces in North
America. Much enthusiasm is represented to exist
among the volunteers, who were rapidly arriving
from the oountry places in the principal large
towns whence many of them had already been
despatched to the frontier. It is reported that the
forts of Quebec have been denuded of the regulars
garrisoning them, and that these also are en route
I for the expected seat of war. It is proposed in
Montreal to expel all aliens.
The Roman catholic Bishop of Toronto has ad-
dressed the following letter to hie clergy :

SWEDEN.

A committee of the Swedish Diet has just adopted,
by 11 votes to 8, a proposal to grant to Jews and
Christian dissenters, not members of the national
protestant church, admission to the civil services of
the kingdom of Sweden, with the exception of ju-
dicial or ecclesiastical functions, and professorships
of religion, philosophy, or history. The States
of the country have now to examine the measure,
which would constitute a very decided progress in
the legislation of Sweden in matters concerning
liberty of conscience and public worship. The same
committee has also given its assent to a declaration
that "the King cannot, without the assent of the
States, become the reigning prince of a foreign
country."

Commenting upon the malt tax which Sir Fitzroy Kelly
will shortly bring before puliameot, the Daily NOM seta
to work to disabuse the public mind of the notion that
cottage brewing could possibly be one of the result. of the
repeal of that tax. The fittiog atmosphere and the water,
which have so much to do with the mama of brewing,
cannot be oommsadel by the c Mager. He cannot afford
the time, or the cost of the utensils, or the store room.

The Herald says the whole question between Acute%
and Prussia is really the vulgar one of the sum of money
or the bit of land for which the Schleswig-Holeteiners are
to be sold to Prussia. Had the Prussian government
offered a territorial concession at all equivalent in value to
the Austrian share of the Duchies the imperial government
would have taken it readily eccoligh. But Prussia has only
offered money, and Austria bee hitherto spurted a money
price. The Herald hopes that the two robbers will come
to some arrangemenk .

The Daily News thinks it more than excusable in the
Cabinet of General L Marmor• to oppose on grounds of
prudence and policy the ratifc►tion of the electien of
X. Hatrini, which must have seriously disturbed the good
relations between Italy and France. Nevertheless, it is
confident that Victor Emmanuel aril the wisest of his
',patentors, and the majority in the Parliament at Florence,
regret the prolonged exile of • patriot who on the day of
his death will be lamented and honoured as one of the
purest heroes of hie country's cease, sad one of the most
devoted precursors and martyrs of her redemption.

MB. OLADITONZ AID 11111 CRITICS.

The Daily News observes that Hr. Gliadstones leader-
ship in the House of Common has imperilled the mut*,
tioa foe foresight of more than one public writer. The
sanguine hopes that were eatortained of metier
him lose his temper have bees falsified, and Mr.
Gladstone hu developed a new faculty to sustain
him amid new circumstances. The prophets, there-

fore, who have deluded their readers have now to
make good their position. Moat of them hare
left ill alone, but the Saturdayßeview, which hes long been
distinguished among political journals for its persistent
dialike of Mr. Gladstone, represents his unkind exhibition of
self-rontrol as en ioinry, and takes refuge in the argu-
ment that if he be. not been angry he has at least been dull.
He has cruelly disappointed them, too, by offering them
statistics when they professed to expect only platitudes.
There was nothing left for it but to dealers that he bad sot
got up his facts, and this acoordingly has been religiously
repeated ever since the night of the 12th. Ouriously
enough, however, there is an " undesigned coincidence" in
the ogee which completely disposes of this charge. It It almost
certain that a 71. frinabile was not the *dried form of the
minieteeial scheme, but was selected to meet the fact, with
which the new electoral statistics had for the first time
made the government acquainted. The modification of
proposal in order to harmonise with a modification of the
data on which it is founded is usually held to imply some
knowledge of the latter. It ham been reserved for the
animosity of faction to detect that to cut your cost accord-
ing to your cloth is the best possible proof that yon are
ignorant how much cloth you have got.

SURREY SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Thomas Tilson.)

John Paddington, 36, a cab proprietor, was 1/2d;oted for
feloniously stealing from the person of William Glazier,
one watch and other articles, and the sum of 10s., hie pro-
Pert-
Mry. Straight appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Liffey
defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor, a gentleman residing in the Old Kent-
road, on the 27th of August last was at the Half-way
House Tavern, Old Kent-road, and was seen by a cab-
driver, named Nash, to interfere with a man and woman
quarrelling, and the latter knocked him down, Prisoner
shortly afterwards came up and got into prosecutor's oom-
wy, and they drank together. Afterwards he came to
Nash and hired his cab, ordering him to drive himself and
prosecutor, who seemed much under the influence
of drink, to the Haymarket. Nash had not
proceeded far before prisoner stopped the cab at a
publio-house, where they got out and stayed nearly
half an hour. After they were again on the road,
Nash, turning suddenly round, sew prisoner with a beg, in
which money jingled, in his hand, when he told prisoner
he would have nothing of that sort in his cab ; whereupon
prisoner said it was all right, and meant having prosecu-
tor's watch, and told Nash to drive down some dark street
or quiet place. The driver pretended to assent, and the
quiet place he drove to was Carter-street Police-station,
where he jumped off his boa, and as prisoner was getting
out of the cab he attired hill: by the throat, and detained
him until a police officer came out of the station.
Sergeant Ham, of the detective force of the P division,
said he came out of the station, and on searching the pri-
soner found the watch in his pocket. The prisoner denied
the charge of robbery, and said the rrosecutor was a par-
osier friend and neighbour of his. Witness said he would
see if that was true, and took prisoner to prosecutor's
house. The wife of prosecutor denied all knowledge of
g= eur, upon which he (the ofncer)took him into custody.

HOLLAND.

A grave conflict has arisen between the executive
power and the Chamber of Deputies in Holland,
the chamber having emphatically pronounced
against the appointment of M. Myer as Governor-
General of the Netherland possessions in India.
The ministry and the chiefs of the conservative
party have prevailed upon the King to dissolve the
assembly. It is even said that despairing of ob-
taining from the electors a conservative
majority, they advise the King to adopt some un-
constitutional measures which would be equivalent
to a coup d'etat. The elections take place on the
30th, and no doubt seems to be entertained as to
the success of the liberal candidates.

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE.
William Peruses, a gentlemanly looking man, was
brought up for further examination upon the charge of
having unlawfully d spored of a picture, valued at 1501.,
belonging to Robert Martin and of which he was bailee.
Mr. G. S. Griffiths, the barrister, appeared in support
of the prosecution ; and Mr. Beard represented the de-
fendant.
Mr. Griffiths said that since the last examination the
for had ascertained certain facts which created a
Calhis mind whether the prisoner intended to act
feloniously in the matter, and whether the charge that
had been made against him could be legally supported.
He should, therefore, with the sanction of the bench,
retire from the case, and not offer any further evidence.
He wished it, however, at the same time to be perfectly
understood that there had not been aoy compromise
between the parties.
The prisoner was accordingly discharged.
A smart-looking lad of colour, named Charles John
Perdue, was brought up by Gaylor, a city constable,
charged with embezzlement, and also with forgery and
larceny.
Mr. Wontner, jun„ who was instructed to prosecute,
said that the prisoner was in the terries of Mr. Ingram, a
wine and spirit merchant, carrying on business in Buck-
lersbury, as junior clerk, and he was first at the office in
the morning, and it appeared that he had been in the
habit of opening the letters and taking out money orders, to
which he forged his master's name and obtained the
money. He had also in several instances received money
from customers for which be had not accounted, and on a
future occasion he said he believed be should be able to
substitute charges of embezzlement, larceny, and forgery
against the prisoner.
Some formal evidence wss taken, and the case was re-
manded.
Two young men in the service of Messrs. Copestake,
Moore, and Co., warehousemen, of Row Church-yard,
were brought up by Hancock, the detective officer, charged
with plundering the firm.
In one case the prisoner was committed for trial, and in
the other he was remanded.
Alderman Lusk took occasion to observe upon the appa-
rently large increase in the offence of robbery and em-
bezzlement by 'percents. There had been no less than five
cases of that description during the present sitting, and it
was quite distressing to see apparently respectable young
men brought up one after the other to answer charges of
the description to which he had referred.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OP A SEA
CAPTAINS WIPE.

An inquiry was held by Mr. Win. J. Payne, the
&Linty coroner, last evening, at the Committee-rooms,
Yountatheourt, Minories. respecting the death of Mrs.
Anne Elliot, a Scotch lady, aged 31 years, who was alleged
ito have committed suicide n conaequence of being charged
with extravagance by her husband.
Captain John Elliott, commander of the Rifle, a Chinese
trader, said that the deceased was his wife. About a week
ago she left her home in Scotland to meet triton', who
had returned from an 18 months' voyage abroad, and she
and her three children took lodgings at No. 2, Circus, Mina-
rim. When witness met her she complained of being rIL On
Saturday last witness reproved her for being so extrava-
gant while he was at sea. Witness said to her, What have
you done with the money I left at home ?" She remained
silent, andburst out crying. She said that she had put
some of the money in a Scotch bank, and then she said
that she had put none of it in. Witness was about to return
to Scotland, and she knew that he would find out all about
the money, and that fact preyed upon her mind. She said to
witness afterwards, "You will find out all bye and bye."
On Monday afternoon witnem returned home and found
her dying from the effects of poison.
Mary Keefe, servant at the deceased's lodgings, said that
on Monday last the deceased complained of toothache and
asked her to purchase one shilling's worth of gin and six-
pennyworth of laudaum. The chemist would not sell
six-pennyworth, and witness only got three-pennyworth,
and the gin. Shortly aftervrasda she was found lying in-
sensible on the bed in her room.
Dr. W. R. Cook, Tower-hill, mid that be was called in
to see the deceased on Monday. Her face was pale and
livid, and she was suffering from the effects of poisoning
by laudanum. She bad taken three drachms. Witness
dad not think that the chemist ought to have • Ten so
much a three-pennyworth to the servant. The deossssd
expired at 3 o'clock.
Mr. H. Madsen, chemist in the Minories, said that he
refused to give the servant six-pennyworth, and that he
would not have given her the three-pennyworth only that
he knew that her master kept a large lodging-house, and
he thought it was required in case cholera broke out.
Dr. Cook said that the demand had mixed the laudanum
with the gin and that rendered the poison more powerful.
Witness did not think that she had become insensible for
an hour after she had taken the poison.
Mrs. Eleanor Irwin said that the deceased had told her
that she was nearly distracted with the toothache. She
said that the pains were going to her head. She showed
witness a 25 guinea shawl that her husband had brought
her from abroad.

—.....
The Coroner having summed up, the July returned
a I'verdiet that That the deceased destroyed her own
life whilst in a state of temporary Insanity, and
their opinion wee that she had committed suicide
in consequence of the rebuke she had received from
her husband, and that she was afraid of the conse-
quences of her acts when he returned to Sootland and
found no money in the bank."

THE PROPOSED SUPPLY OF SEVERN WATER POE
LONDON.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of Llanid
loes, the town nearest the source whence water to supply
the metropolis, according to Mr. Bateman's scheme, would
be taken, was held last week to consider the above sub- I
ject. Mr. Whalley. M.P., presided, and in a lengthy
speech explained the details of the project, and advocated
.its support by the people of Llanidloes and the other
towns along the banks of the Severn which are interested
in the scheme. Mr. Whalley stated that there were at
Llangurig, near the base of Plinlimmon, four or five places
I where, by making available the natural facilities of the
ground, reservoirs could be constructed at a small cost,
and of sufficient capacity to supply a continuous stream of
water through a four feet pipe, without reasonable appre-
hension of interference with the main streams of the Wye
and the Severn. Mr. Whalley suggested that conduit
pipes should be laid along the permanent ways of the rail-
ways which connect the district with the metropolis. A
committee was then appointed, which has since held
several meetings, and, after fully discussing the matter,
has passed resolutions to the effect that the scheme of
supplying London with water from the Plinlimmon dis-
infect is entitled to the support of such towns as are likely
to he affeolni thereby.
