THE BOSTON AQUEDUCT.
On the 25th of October last, the extensive works
for the conveyance of water from lake Cochituate
(or Koo-chee-awa, an aboriginal term for " clear,
beautiful water,") to Boston, a distance of nearly
twenty miles by the usual route, were so nearly
completed that the water was formally let on
with great ceremonial, through an ornamental
fountain at Boston common, when it imme-
diately sprung to a height of nearly 80 feet, amidst
the gratulations of an immense multitude, assembled
from all parts of the state of Massachusetts, and even
of new England throughout. The day was one of
jubilee, opening with the sound of bells and cannon,
foll:)wed by military reviews, and civilian pro-
cessions through triumphal arches, and closing
with the spectacle of fireworks and illuminated
foun'ains. The undertaking was begun only two
years and two months befoke, and was deemed one
of peculiar difficulty. The culvert is a brick oval
in hydraulic cement, 6 feet 4 inches in height, and
nearly 15 miles in length, extending only from the
late gatehouse, which is of granite, to Brookline,
where it ends in a reservoir of granite, whence the
water is carried through cast-iron pipes to the
town reservoirs. The other works in masonry are
chiefly in granite, plain, but substantial. From the
reservoirs at Boston, the water will be forced by its
own pressure through the highest building in the city.
One of them will contain two weeks'.supply, while the
aqueduct is capable of discharging more than
can millions of gallons a day. The small
pipes, which are to be run into each house at
the public expense, are of lead ; and as the water is
said to be of remarkable purity, it is to be hoped that
the prudence of thus using a metal so apt to be acted
on by the water in the direct ratio of its purity has
been well tested. About three millions of dollars
have been expended on these works, and about
half a million more will be requisite. The town
lands, it is said, will redeem the whole expense
in a few years, independent of the rate charged
to individuals, which is to be a very low one, till
altogether withdrawn, as it is intended ultimately to
be, if not deemed requisite as a source of increased
income to the city. The chief engineer of the
main division of the works, namely, between the
lake and Brookline, was Mr. E. S. Chesbrough,
of Newton; resident engineer, Mr. Miliean.—The
Builder.

THE ARMY AND NAVY
(From the United Service Gazette.)
It is understood that Captain Fitzroy will not hoist
the pendant on board the Arrogant, 46, screw.frigate,
at Portsmouth, before the President, 50, arrives from
the Cape to be paid off. The Arrogant will have the

HEAD•QUARTERS—ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.—
It is we understand, in contemplation to make Chat
ham the head-quarters of this corps, by an amal-
gamation of the two establishment?, Woolwich
and Chatham. We have reason to believe that the
subject has been under mature consideration for
some time past. and was even proposed many
years back by Captain, now Major-General Sir C.
