SECOND EDITION.

On!reading this, the inhabitants of the metropolis may well
be disposed to ask hr the intervention of the Company, or
to know why, when the expense of materials and steam
power have been reduced, they are to be forced to pay three
times the proper charge for bad supplies of bad, water? With

* these exorbitant rates, are they to continue to drink stagnant
water because the comknies refuse to be at the expense of
proper reservoirs to contain abundant supplies? Is the habit
of using water as a beverage to be prevented because the
companies refuse to be at the expense of filter beds? Are
fires, and losses of life, and the devastation of property to go
on because the companies refuse to be at the expense of pro-
per elevation ? Or are the public, now charged with three
times the amount for which better supplies may be bad, to
pay for the requisite additions to ignorantly constructed
works, and to pay, moreover, for the maintenance.of a number
of separate and clashing establishments' and their heavily-
paid officers, when one or two establishments would do the
work muckbetter? The metropolis will shortly have before
it the means of testing the value of its representatives.
The Company before us say, that the cost of the management
by public municipal authorities has rarely been less than
twenty per cent. on the outlay. This twenty per cent. they
propose to save, arta divide the profits with the capitalist
and the consumer, provided the capitalist will carry supplies
of forty gallons of filtered water per diem for a penny a
week ;—then we say
,the more profit he makes - out of that
penny the, better for the labouring classes, for then the work
will be the more rapidly done; and so also if the capitalist
will drain and cleanse the 'lowest habitations at the like rates.
For the accomplishment of these works rapidly and com-
pletely, they will deserve the reward of whatsoever profits
they may eventually obtain, after flushing sewers and re-
moving all decomposing refuse from the sites of towns, for
the application of such refuse to agricultural production.
Those who read the prospectus itself will join with us in .
hailing the announcement as a great advance in commercial
and social polity, when practically executed.

" We have much pain," says the Morning Poe, "in stating
• on authOrity, which we believe to be entirely trustworthy,
that on Thursday last Mr. NEWMAN, and several other mem-
bers of the University of Oxford, were formally received into
the Church of Rome. In every point of view this movement
must be the subject of deep regret; but especially it is to be
lamented when the position and prospects of the Anglican
Church are carefully considered. This is not a time
when we can afford to lose the piety, the learning,
and the zeal by which Mr. NEWMAN has been so
eminently distinguished." We are utterly at a loss
to understand the cause of this lamentation, or to divine
in what way the piety, the learning, and the-zeal of Mr.
NEWMAN could improve the position and prospects of the
Anglican Church. The schism which prevails is entirely the
work of the TractarianS, of whom PUSEY and NEWMAN are
the leaders; it is a schism dangerous in its character,
and disgraceful is its operation to members' of the Established
Church, and every real friend of that Church, as well as every
good Roman Catholic,. loudly and justly condemns men who
receive the pay of one establishment, and profess the
doctrines of another, and who, like traitors, remain
in the camp only as lozg as they can be of service in
betraying it to the enemy. Had Mr. NEWMAN been less in-
fluenced by Jesuitical doctrines, bad he not learned from
certain Fathers whom he worships, that casuistry which,
for a particular purpose confounds truth with error, and
right with wrong, he would have acted like an
honest iman, and left a Protestant University and
a Protestant Church on the day he adopted Catholic tenets.
The objects of the Puseyites arc to destroy the bles-
sings of the Reformation, and reconcile the Church of
England to the Court of Rome. Writers who can mourn over
the defeat of such atrocious projects may find sympathy
among bigots that would have done. credit to the dark ages,
but they are utterly unfit for the present time, and are justly
reprobated at by every friend of truth, every sincere Pro-
testant, and every enemy of slavery and superstition.

The intelligence from Madrid, which is to the sth instant,
is satisfactory. The capital and the country generally appear
to be in a state of perfect tranquillity, the credit of the State
is improving, and the new tax is much better paid than was
ant icipated. In fact, the new finance measures of Senor Dion,
notwithstanding the despotic rule of NARVAEZ, will in time
work wonders in that bankrupt country. If he can compel
those able to pay to contribute their just Si are to the neces-
sities uf the State, and establish anything like economy in
the government and expenditure, there may yet be
hopes of redemption. He has succeeded -so far. His
credit has risen with the bank of San Fernando,
merely because the bank finds that he i 3 a man of
his word. He had paid, according to the Government papers,
into the bank, 135,000,000 reals, being 15,000,000 more than
were stipulatad for in the contract, and has thereby been
enabled to make better conditions for the fUture. By this
punctuality the Government has saved, during the present
half- y6ar, at least 10,000,000 reals (100,0004 He is at the
same time actively engaged in preparing the budget, as well
as a new tariff law, for the consideration of the approaching
Cortes. The brokers still persist in refusing to transact
business on the Bourse, and we consequently have no official
quotations.

The Paris papers possoss considerable interest, not from any
important news, or fresh intelligence either from Algeria or
Italy, but front the excitement caused by the late disasters
which have befallen the French, and the misunderstanding
which prevails between the Government and Marshal Bu-
GEAUD. The latter fact is evident from a leVer addres-ed by
him to the Prefect ofDordogne, and published in the con serve-
teur de la Dordogne, on the 6th inst. The authenticity of this
epistle was at first doubted by most of the Paris journalists,
but is now fully admitted. Indeed, there cculd be no mistake
about it, for it displays the character of the Marshal in its
real feature—a great deal of blustering, no little abuse of
the Government and the gallant men whom he had left in
Africa; and that obstinacy in his own opinions, and indepen-
dence both of the Minister of War, and the whole Cabinet,
which the new Duke delights in proclaiming to his country-
men. If the Government allow such an insult to pass with
impunity, and continue to furnish supplies to the nnsatiable
wants of this braggadocio, he will soon be their master. The
letter, a real curiosity in its way, is as follows :

" Excideuil, Oct. 6, 1645.
" Mon her Pr4fet,—Chef d'Escadren Rivet has brought
most disastrous news from Algiers. The army and the people
are loudly calling out for my return. I have too much light
to complain of having been abandoned by the Government
to my enemies in the press and elsewhere, not to have been
comp etely determined not to return to Algiers without the
commission I have demanded, and assurances that some of
my fundamental ideas should be complied with; but late
events are teo grave for me to make any terms fur my return
‘o the field of danger. I have therefore decided upon taking
my departure the day after to-morrow. I will devote to you
half an hour to give you the bulk of the news. One word,
however, in the meantime. Abd-el-Kader has entered the
west of the province of Oran. The garrison of Djenttt has been
almost totally destroyed. We have loot there a lieutenant-
colonel, a chef d'escadron, a chief de latallion, all the officers
of the column, and about 400 soldiers. General Cavaignac,
informed of the approach of Abd-el-Kader, and the revolt of
the tribes on the left bank of the Tana, went out and tbught
two great battles, of the results cf which we are ignorant.
All we know for certain is, that he has return to Tlemcen.
This great success of Abd-el-Kader must have set the whole
of the province into a ferment. On our side great faults
have been committted ; symptoms of revolt have been shown
at other points; and General Boudolly was little in condition
to reduce the insurrection on the Nina. It must have gained

' vautageous to the shareholders, is that of low rates for abun-
dant sup-plieS to the whole Population,iistead Cf high charges
for restricted supplies to the higher and middle classes of the
community, according to the common practice."
The adoption aad enunciation of this principle for prac-
tical application by such names is in itself a large advance.
They refer to the " official researches into the means of im-
proving the sanitary condition of towns, as having brought
to light important instances of improved works which have
long been in successful operation, with good returns to the
capitalist, and reduced charges, as well as increased conve-
niences and comiorts, to the consumers. It is proposed that
the Company, acting in unison with the local authorities,
shall extend the application of sucli improvements to dis-
tricts already more or less supplied, as well as to districts in
which there is no regular supply, either by purchasing and
completing existing but imperfect works, where they may be
obtained on equitable terms, or by carrying Out entirely new
works, according to the suggestions of the Commissioners of
Inquiry. With the aid of a staff of engineers of extensive
and varied practice, and distinguished by their having effected
successful improvements, the Company may undertake works
with perfect confidence that they will secure to the consumer
an efficiency and economy which cannot be obtained through
the medium of persons whose experience is limited to their
own districts, or who are habituated to imperfect works, and
mode's of management which the public wants require to be
amended or superseded."
One of these improvements they thus describe :
" The system proposed for adoption to meet the most
pressing public want— that of improvement in the supply of
water—is a system which has long been in successful use in
several towns, namely, that of a constant supply of filtered
water at high pressure, as contradistinguished from the
common mode of an intermittent supply, which renders
necessary an expensive apparatus of butts and tanks, in
which water stagnates, until it is wanted, and in which,
however pure at its source, it becomes vapid and polluted,
by the absorption .of the soot and dust falling in crowded
districts; •while if the water be impure, and, as is usually
the unfiltered, -the generation of animaculas and the decom-
position- of animal and vegetable matter, are constantly takint,
place to an extent most injurious to health and comfort.'
The constant supply also affords new and important con-
veniences for baths, for washing, and other domestic pur-
poses. In those towns where it has been introduced, it has,
as shown in the Commissioners' report, occasioned a reduction
of one-half of the previous average losses by fire, and made
a corresponding -addition to the security of life as well as
property. The constant supply at high pressure also furnishes
efficient means for the removal of refuse from houses, and for
the cleansing of drains, streets, and sewers, such as no other
system affords. The Nottingham scale of charges, which
from the improvements in machinery, and the reduced cost
of pumping by the steam-engine, has proved to be remune-
rative to the capitalists, will be adopted with little variation,
according to the prices of materials and fuel, and the secu-
rities given. On this scale, which is less than one-third of
the common rate charged for intermittent supplies of unfit
tered water by the greater number of the water•companies in
the metropolis, the improved supply will be provided at the
rate of three-farthings per ton, threepence per 1,000 gallons,
or at a rental of about twopence weekly for the domestic
use of all the houses in a town,—a constant supply being car-
ried into the poorer class of tenements at a pressure of above
100 feet, so as to deliver forty gallons of filtered water per diem
to the highest attic, at a rate of one penny per week. The cost
of this supply is less than the usual expense of the wear and
tear of common pumps. To the large consumers the Com-
pany may, from the reduced expense of steam-power, supply
water at a lower cost than the usual wages for hand-labour
in pumping, even where the water, the well, and the pump
may be had gratis."
