LIyerPOOl'a Water Supply.
 rFro,,, Eha Ne1F York Sun

LIVERPOOL, Aug. s.-Liverpool is growing rapidly, the increase of the population and the extent of the town outstripping all esti- inmates of twenty, or even ten, years ago. At present the town is supplied by what is called the Rivington Waterworks. The construction of these works occupied eight years. and cost e9OO, 900, or $4, 800, ,OO0 The scheme embraces seven reservoirs, which catch the water from 10, 900 acres of moor land lying to the east of the towns of Bolton and Cherley. The highest of these reservoirs was not part of the original scheme, but was forced upon the corporation by the government to pacify the mill owners of the district, who dreaded injury from the inter cepting of the upper waters. The act of Parliament stipulated that 13 ,OO0, 900 gallons per week should be sent down the original course of the Roddlesworth river, the waters of which had been impounded for the other reservoirs.
 The reservoir has an area of thirty-eight acres and holds 1SO, ,OOO, 900 gallons. It was formed by constructing an embankment 374 yards long and GA feet high across the valley of the stream. The corporation of Liver pool, however, before the works were con- pleted, succeeded in buying the water. This reservolr, therefore, is at present used, like the others, to supply the town. Close to it is another, sixteen acres in extent, seventy eight feet deep, and holding 100, ,000, 900 gal Ions Next to the two Roddlesworth reser- yoirs comes the Rake reservoir, of fourteen acres, seyenty-eight feet deep, and holding so, GOO, 600 gallons, and formed by an em- bankment eighty-four feet high, and mile long. This reservoir is provided with an overflow which allows all the surplus water of these three reservoirs to flow into the or iginal stream. From the Rake reservoir can al three miles and half long and twenty-one feet wide at the bottom, leads to the Angle zark reservoir, with an area of 192 acres and capacity of 1,079 ,O00, ,0oO gallons. An em- bankmsnt 264 yards in length and A feet high separates it from

BUCHANAN AND HIS CABINET.


 Two of the surviving members of Buchan- ans Cabinet have recently made some inter- esting revelations. Judge Black, who went into the Cabinet at the beginning of the ad ministration as Attorney General but became Secretary of State in December, 1860, has stirred up good deal of discussion by what he has said concerning General Scott, whom he has accused of conduct which compro- misses his character as a loyal soldier and a patriot. Many able defenders of the General have risen up, and Judge Black, it is stated, will attempt to substantiate his charges by the production of documents. It will have to be made very clear that General Scott was not true patriot before it will be generally believed.
 Philip F. Thomas of Maryland, who was made Secretary of the Treasury upon the resignation of Howell Cobb, was 8 member of Buchanans Cabinet but one month. He had to give up his office because the New York capitalists objected to taking the gov ernment loan of ten million dollars, even at twelve per cent, if southern man were to remain Secretary of the Treasury. Thomas resigned and John A. Dix succeeded him. | nection with the Cabinet. It was in almost continuous session and there was much wrangling. He was and still is a believer in the doctrine of nullifcation as expounded by MT. Calhoun. He believed that the Consti- tuition was a compact, that each State was sovereign and therefore had the right to se- cede. Curiously enough, he also believed that the government had the right to CO., cree the States to remain in the Union if it chose to exercise it, and that no of fcer official of the Union had the right to do any act calculated to bring discredit on the national government. MT. Thomas relates an incident which shows Buehanan's attitude toward the secessionists Says he: ''Floyd at times got quite bolster ous. call to mind one occasion especially, when the President chided both Black and Stanton for some remarks calculated to pro. yoke heated discussion. Judge Black had tory of the English nation when cabinet officer could propose to give up a fort cap able of being defended without being brought to the block. Floyd got very much excited at this and Buchanan thought the expression an exceedingly harsh one, and rather took the judge to task for making such positive expressions likely to stir up dissensions. Then turning to Mr. Stanton he called his attention to some vigorous remarks made some days before in relation to Southern af- fairs, and proceeded to express his emphatic disapprobation of such harsh expressions Indeed, he spoke very sharply to Mir. Stan ton.''
 This, as the Boston Ad0ertiser well says, is a picture in miniature, but 8 very distinct and just one, of President Buchanan in his relations to the secessionists and the Union men of his party. While traitors were plot ting in his councils to destroy the Union, and boldly suggesting to him to surrender Union fortresses to rebels, his rebukes were for the men who made indignant protest against r1ropnsaIS

ALong Branch Romance.

To Long Branch, the other day, there came @ very elegant-looking girl, accompanied by an elderly lady, evidently companion The young lady was not at all pretty, but perfect chic, from the p1umes of her Gainesborough hat to the tips of her French kid boots. She had long, lazy black eyes, which she used eff Actively over the top of Louis Quinze fan; dainty little hand decked with only one or two wellchoseu rings; charming manners, and frequently addressed her companion in very good Frech. They engaged handsome rooms at the West End hotel, and the rumor went quietly about that the new conner was au orphan heiress from San Francisco. Could any thing be more interesting? In 8 week she was the fashion, and had more friends than hairs on her head. delightful con- versationalst, fair musician, always well dressed and lavish with her money, she cer- tainly had grounds for popularity. She had the manner of one accustomed to command, and occasionally forgot herself in treating a gentlemen too much like an upper servant, but with certain class this gave her added prestige. A few nights age at 8 soire dan sante, the young heiress appeared in one of those toilets that bear the unmistakable Pari- sian stamp, an exquisite cream satin covered with lace embroidered in fine gold thread As usual, the most conspicuous woman in the room. She at once caught the eye of wealthy Brooklyn brewer, just come down to his cot tage near the Rowland. He happened to be standing near a New York banker, when he made a discovery which caused him to ejacu- late, 'By George, how did Tom Tyson's daughter ever get in here ?" The banker, who had had some business transactions with the brewer, asked what he meant. ''Why," said the latter, with hearty chuckle, ''that is the daughter of Hoboken saloon-keeper, one of my old customers, grown rich on the un- righteous thirstiness of people. She's been in French beading school for long time, but knew her in minute" It happened at that moment the bankers son was danc- ing with Miss Tyson and his father turned fairly white with rage, and no sooner was the quardrille ended than he snatched the young man from her side as brand from the burning. Iu some mysterious way, be- fore ten minutes were over everybody in the room knew the truth, and Miss Tyson stood as much alone as lighthouse in midocean. The virtuous indignation of the matrons, the holy horror of their daughters, who ''always thought there was something queer about that girl, ,'' and the disgust of the young men, who had pronounced her 'just my style, ,'' can better be imagined than described A saloon-keeper's daughter West-End society tainted, so to speak and the next day ''the California heiress'' quietly departed.

The decision which has just been delivered by Judge Lawrence concerning the payment by the treasury of mutilated bonds is criti- cized. He rules that the amount to be paid must be proportioned to the size of the frag- ment presented, so that if the bond be in two equal pieces, one-half it's face value will be paid to the holder of each piece and so forth The Philadelphia North American says: t'Such an arbitrary apportionment of Q contract debt is alike opposed to precedent and contrary to principle. It would be scarcely less reasonable to apply the same doctrine to bank notes or bills of exchange or promissory notes. A government bond is the evidence of subsisting contract for the payment of money to it's holder, and it calls for the payment of a certain sum to its right full possessor. The right to demand such payment must depend upon the suffciency of the evidence offered to substantiate the claim made, and if bond is so mutilated that it cannot be accepted as proving the light of the owner to receive the sum for which it calls, it is in contemplation of law worth nothing at all. We fail to see how Judge Lawrence's opinion can be logically es- tablished"

The Houston (Texas) Post is rather skepti- cal as to the motives which recently prompted Governor Roberts refusal to issue thanks giving proclamation. It says: Nobody with grain of sense and 8 knowledge of Governor Roberts antecedents can believe that he was serious in his alleged forebodings about an alliance of church and state. Such a contingency did not seem to affect his ner- vous system when he approved the Sunday law that had its enactment in no national ca lamity, and no one would more willingly issue a thanksgiving proclamation if Jeffer- son Davis and not James A. Garfield was the victim of the assassin's bullet"
