Mr. Entwisle. The bill of the Liverpool and Bar-

Sergeant Wrangham spoke at length on behalf of the
Water Company, contended that they had been misre-
presented, and that the opposition to their bill had arisen

from misapprehension of the state of the law, and of the
existing rights of the comvany. He related what had
taken place with regard to the water legislation at Liver-

pool, but we are not provided with any report of the ad-
dress. At the close of his speech, and before the evi-
dence was taken, the committee suggested the propriety
of a compromise being entered into between the contend-
ing parties, and adjournment until yesterday morning was
agreed upon. in order to afford time for consultation to
take place, and the compromise, if possible, to be effected.

RAPID INCREASE OP MANCHESTER.—From a report,
prepared by the chief constable. and read by Alderman
Kay, at a recent meeting of the Town Council, it appears
that since the census was taken in 1841, there has been a
clear addition of 59,770 souls to the population of the
borough, being more than the increase from 1831 to 1841,
which was 53,373. The entire population is now reckoned
at 295,277.

NAVIGATION OF THE MENAL-It appears that many

Paper. [Why not fill up the straits at the narrowest
part, and thus join Anglesea to the main land? No more
money would be required than would be necessary to

move these " pen ous obstructions ;" in fact, of what use
is the navigation of the Straits at all, when the Irish
Chancel answers the same purpose ? This done, the
Holyhead Railway Company need no longer bother their

heads about a bridge, as Anglesea would then be part o
the main land, and enable them to cross with their line.:
