The WATER WoRKs.-This morning the water
in the Schuylkill was so low that ouly three OF
the twelve wheels n the engins-house could be
run. Although there was no scarcity OF wa or
yet there was much less quantity in the several
basins than upon ordinary occasions. The
measurement Of the several reservoirs, as taken
this morning, exhibited that she Fairmount
Basin contained thirteen feet Of water; Bsnsng
ton Works. eleven fee: ten inches; Cornthian
venue, twenty seven feet five inches; Spring
Garden, fifteen Zee: eight inches.
This shows that the Farmount basin IS down
eighteen inches, Corlnthin avenue thirteen
inches, kensingtOn eight iDches, aud Spring Gar
den Works eight inches The Paramount basin
IS capable Of hold ng twenty millions "a
Ions of water kcnsingOn eight miio0s. Coriu-
THAN avenue fuTty millions, and Spring Garden
basin nine millions.
The improvement to the Delaware works u
progressing rapidly. One pier is nov IN position,
while another IS being framed. The supply OF
water from these works, owing 10 the great Atten-
lion paid them by :hs Chief Engineer, is mach
better than usual. During the presen, season 40
complaints have thus far been made of the
scarcity or impurity of the water. Durilg these
excessive warm days our citizens should not
allow any waste water 20 run. The lag which
prOhIbts the washing of payements between the
