(whose letter on

says, they
me, which I
perfe. lieve, the rule
bl which the different Water Companies rate their
Chants, bet not according to the scale of prices he
for what Water Company could afford
jays down;
to serve a first-rate house for the sum of Us. per
sewn, a house that has in geoeral (besides the usual
supply for domestic purposes, of two or three water-
butts, each containing from 60 to 100 gallons) a
water.closet to serve, the quantity used for which it
is impossible to ascertain.
With respect to the method he points out for pre-
usutiag the waste of water, it would be attended
with sn expence to the lower classes they would be
enable to bear; for it is well known, that in low
oeigbbou rhoods, a brass cock and cop Per hall at inched
is loch a temptation to the petty thief, that it is not
suffered to remain eight-and.forty hours after it Is
grit pot on ; and according to his plan the water is
to,lieleffered to run to waste for the space of two
aooths,after the water-works people discover it to be
so running, to the great loss of the Water Company,
tad without their daring .to prevent it during that
tt &appears to think the Water Companies have no
'let to deprive a house of water far non-payment,
because he says in case of fire much mischief may
arise for want of it. Ile may with the same propriety
insist (hat his Baker or Butcher must continue to
servo him with their commodities (though he be un-
willing to pay for them), because if they do not he
way die ,of hunger ; therefore, I apprehend, the
Water Companies have as good a right' to enforce
payment fur the article delivered by theist, as the
Baker or Butcher have for theirs.
lie tar, as most fires happen in the night, some
better regulation should be adopted, so as to insure
*supply in the night as well as the day. I perfectly
agree with him that some better regulation should be
adopted, but not the species of plan he recommends;
for to say nothing of the impracticability of the plan,
it must be attended with an additional sixpence to
the Public, it would not be judicious to impose, {s-
hearing as they do at present, under such a burthen
of rates and taxes of almost every description.—
The usual practice oo discovering a fire is to run to
the houses where the water.engines of the different
Fire-offices are kept; and the &emu), without send-
ing or giving notice to the water-works enginemati
(who always resides on the water-works premises)
make what speed they can to the seat of fire, not
for the purpose of extinguishing it (for that is but
a secondary consideration), but for the purpose of
claiming the reward paid by the Parish or Fire lo-
surance Company to the first, second, and third
engine arriving at the seat of fire, never giving them-
selves the trouble to consider whether there will be
any supply of water on their arrival, knowing, as
they must do, that without that necessary article their
presence at the fire can be of no servici--whertai, if
the fireman, on getting the first intimation of a fire,
was to dispatch one of his brethren to the water-
works engine, and give notice to the resident en-
gineer, 1. do with confidence assert, that be-
fore the firemen, with their engine, could arrive at
their place of destination, and arrange their hose
Opel; to their engine fit for work, the water would
base arrived at the place of fire. I would also re-
commend a small gratuity to be given to the en-
gineer at the water-works on those occasions (in case
lie does his duty), the expectation of which would
stimulate him to exert himself as much as possible to
have the water there in time. The above plan, with
a few more additions, and minor regulations, I would
rOcommend to be enforced, and will point out in
sinott4r letter, I am confident, if put in execution,
would present a repetition of what took place on a
late melancholy occasion, at least so far as a'supply
VT water would prevent it.—l remain, Sir, your most
obedient servant,

A King!. Messenger was dispatched on Monday 1
to the • Hague, and andther last night to Ilease.l
Cassel.
The PRINCE REGENT is considerably enlarging the
Stud.house, at Ilampton.court. The cottage in
Windsor Park seems, therefore, to be relinquished,
except as the scene of Royal hotseprooous, if any
more of these can be brought about.
The Quet,r and PRINCCSsES will be present at a
dinner; ball, and supper, which will be given by the
I'at3cs REGENT on Friday ; and consequently will
• not return to .Windsor Castle this week.
A singular and unexpected motion was made yes.
terday in the Court of King's Bench, for a Mandamus
to the Governor and Company of the Bank of Eng.
ordering theM to proceed to a dividend of all
the profits. It appears that, according to the Acts
on which the Bank is founded, that body' has no right
to accumulate a capital. But the applicant has sea-
son to suppose that a capital is retained by the
Directors, of which, therefore, he demands the par.
tition among the Proprietors. The Court granted a
rule to show cause. The name of Mr. BROUGUAM'S
client did not appear.
The Prince and. Princess of licssc liosinuan,
intend, after their return to Windsor, to make an
recursion thence to Bath. for a few days.
Yesterday upwards of thirty large columns of
marble, sent from the Bey of TRIPOLI, to the PRINCE
lisuster. were landed at the stairs in Palace-yard,
Isheilro they will be conveyed to the British Museum.
Some of them are of very great weight, and one 18
tons.
Friday, the 24th instant, the Commissioners of
Hackney Coaches cotfticted the following coactunen :
Robert Tooley, the driver of No. '2, in the penalty of
20s. fur following and abusing a Gentleman at Little
Chelsea, on the 18th of April ; Dairy Peorse, the
driver of No. n, in the penalty of 120 s. for being
drunk, and incapable cf driving without endangering
the life of his fare, on the 13th instant; Joseph
Burling, the driver of No. I,too, in the penalty of
20s. for being drunk and incapable of driving, on the
6th of April. The drivers of four other coaches,
were fined in sundry penalties) for suction. •
