He also states that the blacks on the Island are in
most deplorable condition. for the part refusing

Government the basis for an adjustment of our postal
difficulties with that country. The Washington

derstand, are satisfactory to our Government, and
will be no doubt approved by the public on both
sides of the Atlantic. The basis or preliminaries
only are arranged The details remain to be adj
justed by he negoators. In this stage of the case
particulars cannot very well be obtained. We I'M
derstand, however, that uniform rate of sea post

postage to each Countrywide whole not to exceed
the present English rale of one shilling sterling

England or the United States shall be according
to the rates fixed by the laws of either country,

PHILADELPHIA WATERwoRKs BRoKEN.-On
the 1lth inst, about O'Clock, breach occurred in
the large basin and reservoir of the Northern Liber
ties and Spring Garden Water-works, at Philadel-
phia, by which the entire body of water therein,
amounting to between five and six millions Of gal
Ions, was let out The Bulletin says:
This disastrous break took place on the Southeast
ern side or end of the basn and the great body of
water rushing with an impetuosity and power al
most inconceivable, forced through and swept away
from fifty to one hundred feet of the walls Of the
Grard College grounds, on the north and south
sides. About fifty or sixty feet of the embankment
has been carried away, and in addition TO that,
small portion of the partition wall dividing the re-
seTvoir into two compartments was broken down.
At the point where the breach occurred there is, in
the range of the Girard College walls, creek and
ravine, through which the immense body of water
swept, forcing its way beyond the walls into
raj ponds and low places in the immediate vicinity.
Fortunately no dwellings were within the scope of
its destructive course. Soon after the breach, the
supplies of water 10 the citizens of the districts of
the Northern Liberties, Spring Garden and Ken
sington failed, and no little excitement followed.
The disaster has evidently been Occasioned by rails
ing the water high in the reservoir to cause it
to overflow the banks, and thus wash them away
This being so, the accident can only be attributed
to the culpable negligence of those TO whose inn
mediate care the safety of the works is committed.
The Watering Committee of the two districts was
soon afterwards convened by the Chairman, Mr.
VIM. Neal, and arrangements effected Immediately
with Mr.. F. Graef, Superintendent of Paramount
watar-wolks, for a supply of water from the city
water-works, the attachments between the conduit
pipes of the two corporations being very fortunate
ly, in such condition as favor so desirable re-
suit without any great interruption or detriment.
1t is not known how long time will be necessary
to repair the Breach but no doubt some months will
elapse before the works will be in complete andper-
feet operation. The loss occasioned is estimated at
twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars.
