but to express a hope, that as the Conn of Aldermen was
now an open Court, and that of course the temptation to
make speeches was greatly increased, the members would be
so good as to speak no more than once upon any one sub-
ject.—(Laughter, and cries of " Hear.")
Alderman PIRIE hoped that Sir Peter would be able to
resist the temptation, and not be the first to violate the rule
he wished to lay down.—(Laughter.)
We understood the Court to come to the determination
to request a communication with the Secretary of State
upon the question of the navigation of the River.

the large fires which had taken place in Charterho
square, Bridgewater-square, and Clifton-street, the supply
of water was very deficient, some of the engines having to
wait from a quarter to half an hour before they could be
worked. Within, however, the last month or six weeks, he
considered the supply had been much better. The supply
of water on the southern side of the river was much worse
than in the City. Had the supply of_ water for domestic
purposes been more liberal,-the want of it would not have
been so severely felt at the fires alluded to. He felt con-
vinced that had there been a more ample supply of water,
a greater amount of property would have been saved in
Charterhouse-square, and in Bridgewater-square, than had
been the case. The sixteen Fire-offices included in the
London Fire Establishment &Tended for .reeeiving infor-
mation of fires upon the nightly watch. • .
Mr. MILNE, from the New 'River Company, stated that,
with regard to the fires referred to: there was a peculiarity,
no main•pipe being in the neighbotAood, otherwise a better
supply of water would have been everieneed. The New
River Company were always anxious to put down pipes for
the supply of the inhabitants, and had given the privilege to
parishes to extend the pipes if they thought proper. The
extremely dry weather which Ltd been experienced this
season was one reason of the great destruction of property
which had taken place. •
After further discussion, the CirAramAx stated that the
inquiry could not be satisfactorily completed until the re-
turns had been received from the difrerent Wards, and on
that ground the meeting was adjourned until Tuesday weel.c.
