GREAT CONSUMPTION op WATRR.-Under this
head, some of the Philadelphia papers undertook,
short time since, to impress their readers and the
world with idea Of the greatness of the Fair
mount Water Works, by making statement of
the number Of gallons of water used per day in the
city of brotherly love, where the killers stnge rs,
busters and smashers hold the municipal authe-
rites in contempt. The statement included the
very warmest days we have had this season, and
the amount of water consumed during those days
ranged from 5,OOOO 600 to 1000, 900 gallons that
is to say, il commenced with five, and gradually
increased with the heat Of the weather. until ii
rose to seven. This is called " great csnsumf-
ton OF water in Philadelphia but let us see how
it compares with our ideas of greatness. Ia this
city about 80. coo, 600 imperial gallons are used
daily during the warm weather, which is about
"a, OOO, goo gallons Philade phia Measure, and yet
no one thinks It a wonder. The receiving reser-
voir, which is OF masonry, with an area Of thirty
five acres, and depth of thirty feet, is always full
to the bim; and whether the season be wet or
dry, the Croton furnishes an abundant and inex-
haustible supply of pure and wholesome water,
which travels iorty-tive miles through the aque-
duct and is distributed thro ughout the city in
oveiy highway and bywsy thereof. and introduced
into almost every building, even unto the very
roof.
The Phiadelp hans may enjoy the great opinion
they entoTiain of the Paramount works, and the
Boston folks may pirate about their Cochtuatc as
much as they please, but these works must not be
mentioned IN the same day, when the mighty
Croion aqueduct is spoken of.

The News from CaIifornin-Terribie STATE
of AfTnir6.

In Yesterdays paper we published teegraphc
despatch, conveying the unpleasant intelligence
that there is every probability of serious and de-
plorabe state of things occurring IN California be-
fore long, if, indeed il has not already taken place.
This information, we are sorry to say, Is corrobo-
rated by letters which we have received from that
region, and which shall publish we
can find room for them. Gen Smiths authority,
II appears has been set at defance-his proclama-
zion has been scorned and derided and no law or
order, or guaranty of safety for life or property
exists there. 10 addition to all this the country is
rapidly berg filed with foreigners, principally
Mexicans, and an attempt TO recover it from the
United States-to wrest it from our possession-is
whispered, if not openly spoken Of
Ti.is s, we fear but the commencement of diff
fculties in Calfornla-difiicultie that appre-
bend, will eventually cause our government great
deal of trouble end expense. Yet it is nothing
more Than what we might expect; and it may be
traced 10 two causes--First. the omission on the
part of Congress to provide form of government
for California and secondly, the issuing, by Gen.
Smith, Of The proclamation forbldding foreigners
from trcspasslrg on the lands OF the United States
and digging for gold in the mines. During the
whole cf tie last session, and when the members of
both houses were day after day clustering and va
porting about the Wnot proviso humbug, and
adopting every practicable plan Of making capital
for themselves or the party to which they were at
tached, they were warned and admonshsd of the
evils which II was certain would overtake Cafor-
MIA, if form of government were not provided for
that territory. These warnings were given in
tones of thunder when it was discovered that the
Sandwich Islands, Mexico, and the South Ameri-
can republics, were pouring thousands Of the most
reckless and lawless of their population into Cali
fornia and it was even told to them that it would
not be matter Of surprise if an attempt were made
to wrest that territory-which was purchased at
the expense of so much blood and treasure-from
the United States. To all these Congress was deaf;
and The very results which predicted, are, we
are sorry to say, being realized.
We very much fear that we are about to have
great deal of trouble with this same California;
and if we escape getting into another war with
Mexico, we will be fortunate.
