. about the 20th of February. His Excellency Lord COMIIIIMERZ,
at the date of the last accounts, was shortly expected to return to
Calcutta ; a number of Officers attached to the Staff of the Army
had returned. It was reported at the Presidency that the services
of the gallant Commander-in-Chief were about to be transferred to
another scene of warfare. The question of prize or no prize, of
the treasure found at Bhuttpore, still continued to attract public
attention at Calcutta. It was supposed that the amount ultimately
to be divided among the army would not be nearly so large as was
at one time expected: His Excellency Lieut.-General Sir G. T.

Saturday as two young men were walking in the
Swifts, about six o'cleck in the morning, their attention
' was arrested by the cries of a female, which proceeded
from behind some :stacks in an adjoining field ; they
immediately proceeded to the spot, where they observed
four or five fellows treating a woman in A most un-
manly manner : they were stripping her of her clothes,
and had got her plaid from hr r shoulders, when the
young men went up to her. The villains fled to avoid
detection ; but one of them returned, and offered con-
siderable resistance, when the young men offered to
convey the unfortunate female into town, which, with
some difficulty, they ultimately effected. The poor wo-
man stated tl►at she was going into the fields to reap,
and had been set upon by the ruffians, who had forced
her from the road, and had torn her clothes very much
by their violence, whilst she was making resistance.

NEW RESERVOIR OF THE EAST LONDON

WATER WORKS.
-.....-.

The great increase of building in the eastern part of
the Metropolis, as well as in the adjoining villages at
Hackney, Stratford, Bow, West Ham, and the vicinity,
having tendered the former Reservoir altogether inade.
quote for the necessary supply of water, great exertions
have been made to remedy the defect. From the diffi-
culty of obtaining ground on this side of the River Lea,
the Directors were obliged to procure some on the other
side, and that of a very irregular form, in Bow Marsh,
near Old Ford, and have excavated two reservoirs, one
about eight acres in extent,and the other three,and which
are united together,and communicate with the former re.
servoirs,and the steam-engines, by means of an iron gee-
duct, 3 ft. in diameter, carried across below the bed of the
Lea. By the force of the steam engines, the united power
of which is equal to that of 230 horses, the water may
be raised 150 feet above the level of the Lea—and the
reservoirs being ten feet deep, it is estimated that they
contain at all times enough to supply the district for ten
Idays.ln excavating theßeservoir many Roman antiqui ifs
have been discovered, such as swords and coins ; and in
the gravel, about nine or ten feet below the surface, were
I found bones of horses, stags, goats, and sheep. Some of
the stags' horns are of great size. The lowest stratum
was found to consist of gravel, eighteen inches in depth;
above is a stratum of peat, two feet in depth ; next is
a stratum of clay and peat, mixed together ; above
which is a stratum of whitish clay, for two or tluee feet ;
and at the surface is common clay.
Thursday, the ceremony of opening the Reservoir was
conducted with great pomp, in the presence of an im-
mense concourse of spectators. including a larpe portion
of the beauty and fashion of the E.g. Mr. Vaux, the
Chairman, made a short address, aster which the water
was admitted, and, during a royal salute, five
decorated with flags, containing the Directors, the Ofh-
cers, and their fair friends, proceeded through the Re-
servoir; sometimes in line, sometimes abreast; and also
performed various evolutions. A rowing-match then
took place between two watermen.—The Directors, after
this, went to the old works, on this side of the Lea, and
started an engine of 70-horse power ; and concluded the
day with an elegant entertainment.

ARBRoATR.—A principal officer from the port of
London, accompanied by J. %smarms, Esq. one of
the Surveyors-General for Scotland, called here on
Tuesday, on their rounds through the different ports of
Scotland. It is understood their object is to learn what
farther reductions can,with safety to the collection of the
revenue, be made in the number of officers of Custom...
Saturday morning, as two children, belonning to Mr.
SWIFT, of carnival's Inn, were looking out of the ta')
pair window, the iron bar that went across gave way,
and the youngest, Diana, a fine child, about five years
old, fell out, and was unfortunately killed oa the spot.
Monday week, Courtney, the Flying•man, made an
exhibition of flying across the river Avon, at Bristol ; he
descended from Leigh Wood to an anchor sunk in the

to the Infirmary in a state of insensibility, but is es•
petted to recover.
