Banqtjet to Company Twenty Thibd RxoImeht. Last evening after the Company drill the members of the above Company headed by Captain Norton, marched to the Maison Doree, in Montague street, where a sumptuous repast i awaited them, provided by the offloers of the Company.

Gastronomloal exercise soon took the place of bayonet exercise, and the boys proved equal to tbe task of flanking castles, pyramids and other objects of interest whioh tho polite Frenoh waiters had placed in the way of the enemy, and the empty wine bottles, as they lay helpless in tho oorner, told of the severity of the attack and the complete success of the evening's engagement. Colonel Ward addressed the Company at some length, oongratu lating it on its determination to perfect itself in military matters and saying that the regiment stood high in military circles, and, for iia age, etood second to none. Of course, he said, we must give way to older organizations who have been in existence longer, but he was BatiBfled that with the efficient officers and the interest and activity of the members that the regiment will soon be all that can be desired. Lieut. Martin made a neat Bpeech expressive of the same sentiments and stating his regret that the new armory was not built as it should have beon long ago, and after referring to the efficiency of the new breeoh loaders soon to be furnished to the regiment he sat down amid the applause of the Company.

Calls for Lieut, Ward were answered in a few appropriate and happy remarks by that gentleman, and after an earnest wish by the Captain that every man before him would do hie were drank and responded to by the non commissioned officers and privates. A pleasing feature of the evening was a piece of vocal music very finely rendered, by Mr. SuMaille At an early hour this znerning tho company broko up, well pleased with the evening's entertainment. An election for First Lieutenant will take place at their rooms on Monday evening next, Plastebebs' Invitation TheOper ativc Plasterers' Society last evening held their seventh annual boll at Brooklyn Hall, and a large number of the members wore there with agreeable companions.

Augustine, at the corner of Bergen street and Fifth avenue, continues as popular as ever, and numerous visitors flock in and out of the rooms in Phenix Hall, Court Btreet, where it is in progress. The ladies are very attentive and no one can complain of neglect in that particular. Father Rhatigan last night lent his presence and moral support, and. the fair apparently progressed auspiciously. One lady took at her table In two nights tho Bum of J300, and it 1b to be hoped that ere the close of the fair next week enough will be realized to enable the projectors of the church building to meet their responsibilities, a thing they claim to bot present impossible, Tho grounds of the church oost $24,000.

Tho building waa estimated to coBt 20,000. Tho roof is now in course of completion, and will be ready for tho reception of the slating next week. Resource is had to tho fair to raise necessary funds, of whioh there is a great need. There is no parish denned as yet for tho church, and consequently no congregation to fall back upon, so that the aid of outsiders has to be depended upon. Those having the building in charge complain that they can scarcely meet their exponsea.

The tables were, many of them, riohly laden. On No. 1, Miss Gloavey's, were a handsome paisley shawl, an odd bed quilt with angular and oollossal flower branches of a most unique pattern, but apparently of sufficient warmth; here also was a handsome group uf wax figuros.Frcm thiB table sallied forth two pretty colleens," Maggie and Mary," tho one bearing a largo silver ice pitcher, the otber a pretty workbox, with which they surrounded all unwary young men with entreatieB to take a chance. Miss Coffey, Miss Orr, and the Miss Laughlin assisted at this table. Elsewhere was located a weighing and a lifting apparatus and an electrio battery, and from the crowd which surrounded this occasionally camo a treble squeal, when somodeUcato creature who was "shocked" by the current of electricity which flashed through her frame as she grasped tbe handle of tho battery.

A line rosewood piano stands near this, and will be disposed of by the customary raffle during the Fair. In ono spot a handsome gold mounted sword rests in full view, and an active man in charge of it Importunes clerk, statesman and warrioz alike to try a hand in it, or for it. It will bo a prize to the lucky winner. On the Bamo side of the room is a handsome China set of 114 pieces. It is tasteful in design and finish.

On Mrs. Foley's table is a handsome silver castor, a silver cake basket richly wrought, and other pretty things. Mrs. Farrell engineers for disposal a fine sowing machine and a number of pictures. On Table No.

6 is a French gilded clock, with music box attachment, valued at 200, a silver coffee urn and a set of silver. Mrs. Farrell and Misses Begley, Griffln, and tho Misses Dunn officiate. Table No. 6 has a handsome china Bet and other fanoy articles, and throughout the room a large variety of choice articles are offered for sale or for disposition by lottery.

Tho room 1b gaily adorned with flags, streamers, pennons and small banners. As before said, the ladies and others are very attentive, but they aro rather unsophisticated in one thing, in expecting to And in a humble reporter for the daily press a mUliouaire. They have yet to learn that your industrious reporter is woll nigh penniless, and only keeps at his work from pure love of literature. Fair solicitors and book agents will please take notice. St.

The Custom House officers awoke, yesterday, from their maBterly inactivity, and seized $0,000 worth of silks and velveie, whioh bad been packed in trunks having false bottoms, and transmitted through the agency of emigrants. It is ostimated, tho report adds, that the government has been defrauded out of a quarter of a mll ion of dollars by this newly discovered trick. Of course the rascality of these smugglers deserve and should receive heavy punishment.

But some fault Hob with tho govornmont itself, which, under the present management of the tariff system, substantially offers a premium on frauds. The enormous duties on laoe, and the ease with which BUOh light goods can be seoret cd, tompt Into the business of smuggling many men who would seek a legitimate livelihood if the profits from illegal trafflo were not so enormous. If the present temptation continues, smuggling will Bhortly be reduced to ono of the exact sciences, and the authorities will mourn a larger loss than that developed by yesterday's disclosure. Another Bright Side. On the evening of Tuesday next, Rev.

T. DoWitt Talmage will deliver a lecture at tbe Tabernacle in aid of the Free Beading Rooms which are being maintained In connootion with that institution. Mr. Talmage will apeak about the Bright Side of Things, and any one who desires to hear a good lecture, and at the same time aid a worthy work, should attend. Further particulars can bo obtained from the announcement in the advertising columns.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. more About tbe Jail Supplies Resignation of Supervisors Snellen and Smith from tbe Jail Committee Further Inquiries to be made About the Supplies. The Board of Supervisors met thfs morning, ae stated In another column, for the purpose of confirming the tax rolls. After passing the usual resolutions, and signing tbe roll.

Sup. Crooke arose and offered the following resolution Resolved. That the Law Committee are further directed and authorized to inquire and examine into the matter of all supplies to thq Jail and Morgue with power to send for persons and papers. The resolution was adopted. THE JAIL COMMITTEE.

Sup. Johnson offered the following resolution: Whereas, The testimony already taken before the Law Committee in reference to the purchases, by the orders of the Jail Committee of this Board, demonstrates their utter incapacity to represent the interests of this ooun ty in supervising purchases for any Committee of the Board. Resolved, That Messrs. Nelson, Shovlen and Smith be requested to resign their positions as members of the Jafl Committee during the pendency of the investigation now being made by the Law Committee, in question already submitted, or which may be submitted, in relation to the work oi any Committee of which they have been members during the current year. On the conclusion of the reading of the resolution, which seemed to strike like a bomb shell, Sup.

Smith arose and offered his resignation as a member of the Jail Committee. He said there had been so much talk and scandal about the doings of that Commltteo that while having had nothing what over to do with the purchases of supplies for the being ontirely blameless in whatever carelessness had been shown, he felt that he could no longer remain a member of the Committee. Sup, Shevlen Mr, Chairman, I also offer my resignation as a member of this Committee, and in doing so I have to acknowledge that I have been entirely incompetent to judgo of the value or prices of those articles sent to the Jail. Hoping that the county will select some one in my place who will understand tho business better than I do, I offer my resignation as a member of tho Committee, and hope it will be accepted. Sup.

Newman moved that the resignations of both gentlemen bo accepted. Adopted. Sup. Johnson subsequently, by consent of the Board, withdrew his resolution, and the Board then adjourned until tho 20th inst. PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

George Cochran, appointed at the special meeting of the Board yesterday, with powor to make arrange xnents for increased hospital accommodations for small pox patients, proceeded at once to Flatbush in the discharge of their duties. They now REPORT UtheytmcoeededinBecurmg so much as waa necessary of a hew almshouse building at Flatbush and Immediately In the rear of the present Almshouse promises, whioh was forthwith put in order for hospital purposes. Furniture, bedding and every thins required, were promptly supplied by the authorities in charge of tbe regular hospital. Attendants and nurses were put In charge, and by the prompt efforts made yesterday and last night, tho establishment was to day made ready for the reception of patients, eeven of whom removed there to day. Four new cases occurred In Williamsburgh yesterday are to be Bent to Flatbush.

dr. cochran's opinion la that the health authorities have now got complete control of the contagion, and that It need no longer be feared. Ita utter extinction may be looked for before many weeks. Every precaution baa been taken against its reappearance and its mode of treatment has proved signally salutary and efficient. According to the views of Dr.

Cochran and his assistants, we Bhall have little or no more trouble to apprehend from small pox. the new building which has been pressed into service so unexpectedly, will soon bo restored to its more general and legitimate whioh it was especially erected. It la a capacious and substantial structure, and when supplied with the machinery and fittings, will have cost tbe county something in the neighborhood of $100,000. Its dimensions are as follows length, two hundred feet by sixty in width three stories in height, crowned with two towers on each end, a cupola in the centre, and it is a well furniBbod and Imposing edllloo. It is to be used as a work shop by the male inmates of tbe Almshouse, and is an experimental movement toward making that institution eelf austaining.

Tharles A. Gilberg, oorner of Carlton and WiUoughby avenues. The meeting will disonss several important questions, lucluding the report of the Committee on By laws, and also the report of a Committee of Conference sent by the Brooklyn Club. Base Ball. A Libel Reputed.

At the late Convention a charge was made against Mr. Mortimer Rogers, to the effect of Mb being a defaulter, Bimply because he had been obliged to delay the transfer of all of the funds in his possession to his successor. He has since paid up all arrearages, and but for the personal malice shown him by one of the delegates, no such charge as that referred to would have been made. It was false, and an unjust aspersion upon the character of a worthyplayer. Xlie Turf The Season Closed Fleetwood Park David Bonnes Winb.

"Wall Street, Deo. 10. Gold continues doll bat firm, all the sales thus far to day having been between 110 and HI. The latest London quotations of securities by the cable np to the time of writing Are two days old, so that operations founded on the condition of the foreign markets are on a restricted scale. The advance of one quarter per cent, this morning was stimulated by the report of a large shipment this afternoon about $600,000.

In the gold loan market the rates have been 2, 2M and 4 per cent, for carrying The money market is perceptibly easier to day, as far aa call borrowers are concerned, and the quotable rates are five and Bix, although many loans are still standing at seven, which Is the general rate at bank and with the trust companies. Commercial paper is unchanged, tho rates for prime doablo named ranging from 6A to 8 per cent. Tbe movement in goveroment bonds to which we alluded yesterday was continued to day, and quotations show a further.advance, as will be seen by reference to the tables below. It seems that a strong party has been made up, the principal members of which are well known stock houses and operators, The large government bond dealers appear to have but little interest in the market, and the foreign bankers are doing nothing, owing, particularly, at present, to the Interruption in the working of the cable. Tho operators for a rise count on the influenoe of tbe Treasury in favor of the higher prices, State bonds were strong at the first call, with the chief inquiry for Tennessee and new South Carolinas, The first named advanced to 61 for the old and 60 for the new issues, while new South Carolinos advanced to 69j70.

Tho last named were favorably effected by dispatches from the State saying that tho Saprome Court thero has virtually decided that the State is not liable for the new notes of tho Bank of the State thereby revetting the decision of Judge Carpenter. The amount of these notes is about $750,000. Virginians vrere steady, with sales of tho old at 68, while MIsBouris were firm at 93. In railroad bonds we notice another advance in Central Pacifies to 02, and an actiro investment demand is reported for them at the counters of tho prinoipal dealers. Union Pacific firsts were steady at 80, Rock Island 7s at l(X)100i, and Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Centrals at 8333.

A small lot of New York and New Haven 6s Bold at 98. City bank bank shares are dull and nominal. Tbo stock market continues strong, with the volume of business small, except in Western Union, Now York Central and Hudson, Lake Shoro, northwest, Rock Island and St. Paul. Tho first named has fluctuated between 453 and 46; the changes In the other Btockshavo been inside of per cent, A roport has been ourrout on tho Stook Exchange, emanating from Philadelphia, to the effect that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have leased the Oam denand Amboy, thoreby giving them a route oi their own to this city.

Investment shares havo beou dull, as havo also miscellaneous and express stocks. At ono o'clock the general market was Bteady.

From Saturday's Fourth Edition. LOCAL TAXATION. The Proposed Reform in the Water Department. One of our reporters has succeeded in ob taining from the President of the "Water Board, Mr, Fowler, a fuller and more comprehensive view of the financial condition of the Water Department than we remember to havo Been, up to this time, laid before the public. Tbe report of the interview between the Eagle representative and Mr.

Fowler will be read with very great Interest by tho taxpayers, and we need hardly invito their attention to it. Among the reforms urged upon our local officials by theEAOLE, was that of making this important department of our municipal government self sustaining. This change Beems to us to be very desirable on these grounds It will reduce the amount required to be raised by general taxation over one hundred thousand dollars per annum the Department will have a denned and established source of income, and it will have to live within it or come before the public through the Board of Aldermen, before It can receive authority to raise any more money than hi collected for water rates established by local law, and by an authority independent of the Board. At present the Water Department Is a charge upon the city. Its annual deficiency Is met by general taxation.

The rate of taxation is so great that the taxes are not only directly burthensome to the property owner but the publication of a rate so high, outside of Brooklyn, retards tho growth of the city. If we can procure assurances that the affairs of the Department are as economically administered as they can be, thoso who use water will bo well content to be paid what it costs the city to supply it in other words, will consent to an advance of the rates to the Belf BUpporting point. Under the present system, the Water Board are not subjected to the restraint which a fixed income would impose. They are empowered by law to spend the income of the Department, and to make good any deficiency which may exist by making a demand for an appropriation, but limited, to bo raisod in the general taxes. Our plan is to authorize an equitable and self supporting rato to be fixed, and then to hold the Department to the responsibility of making both ends meet.

It is due to the Water Board to say that they acknowledged with promptness the desirability of the Eagle's reform, but iu what we wero justified, we think, in accepting as Mr. Fowler's original plan for carrying it out, he seemed to take it for granted that we accepted the organization of the department as satisfactory, and found no fault with it on tho scoro of its expenditure. Hence in meeting the Eagle's views, he proposed to cover the whole deficiency by requiring not only a general advance in the rates, but a system of exacting extra rates which turns out to be, as we supposed, extremely unpopular. Mr. Fowler now explains that his first communication was designed mainly to bring the subject officially before the public, and should not be criticised as if it were a settled plan to which the Board had given its sanction.

In the interview with our reporter, Commissioner Fowler meets the contemplated reform in the true spirit, and we are now justified in expecting a satisfactory settlement of the subj ect by the Board assuming as we do, that Mr. Fowler fairly represents his associates. It willboeeen by the exhibit elsewhere published, that tho main question has been pressed for settlement at the right time. The Board is now almost self sustaining, and can be made so without imposing any appreciable burthen ou individual taxpayers. Tho annual liabilities of the Board may bo classed under these heads: interest on a water debt of eight million dollars, at six per cent, per annum.

Under this head the Board is required to raise four hundred and eighty thousand dollars yearly; the cost of coal amounting to about eighty thousand dollars per annum the official, engineering and labor expense of the department amounting at present to ono hundred and thirty four thousand dollars a year. The aggregate of these three items is six hundred and ninety four thousand dollars. The income of the Board, from water rates, as now fixed, is six hundred and twenty thousand dollars. As an addition to the capital invested in the works is contemplated, Mr. Fowler proposes to meet this deficiency and to provide twenty six thousand dollars addi 1 tional, mainly to provide for the proposed increase of indebtedness.

In other words, to balance the outlay and increase, as they now stand, and to secure a margin of twenty Bix thousand dollars for an indebtedness which can hardly be said to be Of course, if this was done by an increase in the water rates, while a better system would bo inaugurated, no present material reduction of the burthens of the taxpayers would he secured. At thiB point, tho Eaqle and tlfb Board were at isBue. Mr. Fowler now proposes to meet us by making reformB in the management of the Department, which we believe to bo eminently practica blc and desirable. The water rates are now collected by a separate bureau.

In other words, the general taxes are paid in one department and the water taxes in another. This system involves the employment of duplicate officials, and gives unnecessary trouble and annoyance to taxpayers. In New York City, the Tax Collector is furnished by the Water Department with the charge against the property owner for the use of water. It is specified in a separate column of hia tax bill. If a taxpayer is called on to pay one hundred dollars taxes, in tbe same bill he is charged, say with ten dollars, for the use of water.

It is as easy for a clork to receive, receipt for, and enter one hundred and ten dollars as one hundred. In this way one set of clerks can be dispensed with, and would suit the taxpayer who can do the business in one room which is now transacted in two, located in different parts of tho City Hall. This reform has long been agitated. We have now reasonable assurance of its succceb. If the city will undertake to collect the revenue of the Water Board, that Department can have no good ground for objecting, for it will save several thousand dollars per annum by the change.

CommiBEioner Fowler proposes to consolidate the Purveyor's and Engineer's Departments to a very great extent, and by this schomo he hoped to effect a large saving. He intimates that he will ask that the Police shall do for the city what they now do for the public. Instead of wanting a Btaff of Inspectors of Hydrants, to notify the Department when a hydrant is leaky and out of order, the police in the line of whose duty this business is, shall telegraph the fact to the Central Office, from which it can be at once placed in the possession of tho Board. With a very slight general advance in the existing ordinary rates for water, and with these reforms, Brooklyn will not only have a steady and plentiful supply of good water, but Bhe will have the satisfaction of knowing that the investment made to this end is no longer an addition to her public burthens. Mr.

Fower'a plans ure excellent. It is hardly necessary to ay that the Eagle will hold him to the task of securing their realization at tho earliest day possible, and will give himalltheaBsistancehe can possibly require to this end. SETTLING WITH THE SOLDIEES. Payments'. This Week Widows, Or and Disabled Veterans Tbe Pension Office.

Business in the office of Mai. D. "ff. Hnynes, the Commissioner of Pensions for Long Island soldiers, and for Navy pensions of the State of New York, has been exceedingly lively this week, and has presented Rcenes of melanoholy interest and suggestive signifi cance. Several hundred men, women and children assemble from day to day in Hall of the Bopublican Gon ers! Committee, In a portion of which the Major has uis office, and where some four times each year, the maim.

ed and disable veterans, with what little life they have left in them, and the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in war's dread Btrife, assemble to gather in the little moiety granted by the governmont. THE PAYMENT OP PENSIONS for tho last quarter commenced Monday, and bas been continued through tho week. The number of pensioners who receive their pay in this city is about 2,200, to whom has been paid this week upwards of 50,000. THE WIDOWS ABB THE HOST TROUBLESOME, as when they cease their "lonesome" oonditlon they cease ipIbo to bo persons upon the Oovernment bounty, and sometimes they modestly decline announcing their changed condition, and seek consolation from a second while they enjoy the benefactions of a first husband. To prevent this the government requires two witnesses to avouch a widow.

THE BUSINESS OT THE PENSION OFFICE in this city has very muoh inoreasod since its establishment, but it appears to be carried on in a very and satisfactory manner. The claimants of ponsions suffer uo derogation of oharacter by reason of thoir olr cumiitanceB, on tho contrary they are treated with marked reaped and attention, as they should, and the officers and clorks are courteous and do all they can to facilitate tho payments without unnecessary trouble. THE AMOUNT OF PENSION paid to the widow of a private soldier Is 8 per month and $2 additional ror each ohlld under the age of ten years, to a totally disabled, 15 per month, a First Lieu ten $17, Captain $20, Major $25, Colonel $30. Poor compensation, perhaps, some people win think, for tbe sacrifices mado, but it doos something at least to alleviate sorrow, and disprove the oft quoted assertion that Be publics are ungrateful. The Sacred Concert to be giren on to morrow ovoning, the 11th In the Ohuroh of Our Lady of Victory, Throop avenue and McDonough street, may be expected to satisfy to tho fullest tho hundreds' who have already purchased tickets for tho oocailon, and all others who love to hear faithfully executed aome eholoe selections Irom several of the best oomnonnr.

t. be hoped that the Bev. Father Creighton will roallxe a handsome sum, to aid In liquidating tbe present incumbrance on bis church, through tbe generosity of the distinguished artists who have kindly volunteered their servlcea to assist a noble work of oharlty.

The Decline of American Shipping. ME. LYNOH'S PLAK P0E ITS EEVIVAL The Internal Oommlssion ex ship. FORM'S PAPEES, BOTH DAILY OXB OF Til EM FOR SALE. Washington, Deoember 10.

The bill which waa introduced on Monday by Mr, Lynoh for the revival of American commerce and ship building, is the same as that whioh was defeated at the lost with an additional eotion providing that a drawback and rebate on imported material shall be allowed only on vessels engaged in foreign trade. And when American material is usd on vessels of 1,000 tons or upwards, a bounty equivalent to the drawback shall be allowed. If the vessels constructed under this provision shall be engaged more than three months in the coasting trado the drawback or bounty shall be refunded. It is understood that Mr. Lynoh is anxious to get a conference of the Committees on Ways and Means and Commerce, and the Special Committee on the Decline of American Commerce, in order that the differences of of opinion on the subject may be speedily reconciled and nothing stand in the way of the bill for the revival of trade.

The tax assessed against Brig ham Young, amounting to $30,000, has been suspended on account of the new representations made to the Internal Revenue Department, which will requiro a new argument to be heard, or perhapB additional Legislation by Congress before It can be enforced. The name of Hon. William Richardson la mentioned here this morning in connection with the Com miselonerahip of Internal Revenue. The Stamp contract, which has excited so much anxiety in some quarters, etill hangs fire in the Treasury Department. In discussing some of the details, yesterday, a question came up as to the practicability of adopting a uniform paper on which to print all the stamps, and a suggestion whether the same kind of paper used in the printing of the currenoy might not be successfully adopted, led to tho determination to have the proper experiments made to that end.

This is now being done, and it will require several days to settle the matter. In the meantime nothing can be done as regards publishing the award. The Washington Chronicle newspaper and Job office is advertised for sale, Mr. Forney in his advertisement says, "the necessity of giving my personal attention to the increasing business of my Philadelphia newspaper, the Press, decides me to offer tho Washington Chronicle, including the good will and material, at a reasonable price to a good purchaser." Tne project of eaoh building a dwelling house for its senatorial representatives, is about to bo revived. Washington, Deoember 10.

Gen. Banks, Chairman of the House and of tho Republican Committee, will on Monday Issue a call convening a caucus on Tuesday. The main object is to determine the aotion of the party ou amnesty. The call is made at the request of several leading Republican members, who think that if amnesty is to be declared it should be a national party measure, and not left either to the engineering and glorification of a single man, or to State contests as in the case of Missouri.

Washington, Deoembor 10. A partial canvass of the Senate shows that tho President's propositions to purchaso San Domingo doos not even command the approval of all who supported the scheme in the Senate last session.

Senator Wilson for one sayB: Under no circumstances will he vote to acquire that island by joint resolution, as in the caBe of Texas. While he favors the acquisition of all the West India Islands, he will not vote for their purchase, unlesB it be done by a regular treaty duly submitted to the Senate for ratification or rejection. Several other Republican Senators entertain similar views, and the prospeot for obtaining a majority vote in the Senate in favor of the Presideut's last proposition 1b not very encouraging. THE STORAGE RESERVOIR. An Interriew with His Honor, Mayor Kalbfloisob, Showing Ills Views on tbe Subject.

A reporter of the Eagle held the following interesting interview with His Honor, Mayor Kalb ueifich, taiB forenoon, in relation to tho important subject indicated by tne heading of this roport Reporter Your Honor, i accordance with its invariable desire to fully present both sides of every public question to its readers, tho Eagle has directed me to tender you an opportunity to supplement your last communication to the Board oi Aldermen, in relation to the proposed, new storage reservoir, by such a statement of your present views upon tho matter as may not have been already furnished to tho puhlio through its columns. Mayor I have ideas npon the subjcot which I have not given to the press, but I am not prepared to state them formally at present. Reporter Any presentation of your opinions upon this matter in its present aspect, would doubtless bo read with interest, and the public it may be reasonably presumed, aro looking for some expression from their Chief Magistrate in reaponBO, even though informally, to recent articles and communications in which tho project has been discussed. Mayor I know that, but I have had no time to prepare any statement on the subject. I have thought and conversed a great deal upon tho subjcot, and listened to tho opinions of scientific men, only to become moro strongly convinced that I am right.

Reporter It is the result of that thought and conversation that is wanted, and if yon ohoose to give it, I am readv to write it but would prefer that you state it iu your own way, with as ow questions from me as possible. A STATEMENT BY THE MAYOB was then made, in snbstauoe as follows, tho reporter asking occasional questions, whioh have been omitted from the transcript in ardor that the views of his Honor may hore be uninterruptedly chronicled I am not adverse to providing means for an increased supply of water, but I do not think that tho proposed reservoir will yield a supply commensurate with the $1,100,000 asked for its building, which amount, if found insufficient for construction, would be inoroased by an extra issue of bonds, and the discrepancy between tho increased suuply and its cost made Btili greater than appears from the present estimates. Of coutbo it will soon become necessary to tako some action in this direction, but we must look to the side of economy. The plan proposed by the Water Board iB only one plan among many proposed by others, Bomo of which, to my mind, aro better. For instance, there is smith's pond, owned by the city which, at a very limited expense, might be made to furnish as much, if not moro water than the proposed reservoir.

I am awaro that tho water would have to be pumped up by this plan, but, pumping is not so expensive SB is generally supposed. I am Informed by good authority, that three million gallons of water can be pumped daily, and at a cost of Iosb than twonty dollars, whore it has only to bo lifted a few feet, as would bo tho caso by this plan, which would be surer and more reliable than tbe plan of trying to retain tho water iu the upper ponds by damming, which I am confident must provo a failure if attempted. the consumption op wateb during the past eight years, aeoording to the tables furnished by tho Commissioners, shows conclusively that it will be soon necessary to resort to pumping. From those tables it appears that in 1863 there wore 5,715,300 gallons of water usou daily by a population of a lHUo more than 200,000, while in 1870, with a population of 400,000, it 1b estimated that 22,000,000 gallons will be required. The merest tyro in figures will seo from this that if this continues, long before the now reservoir is opmpleted we shall havo to look in other directions for an incroasfjd aupply.

It may bo said that, in tho first few years of the table of consumption, the ratio of increase was more rapid than in later years, from the fact that there was thon a proportionately largor number of people who availed themselves of its use than do so now. WE MUST ECONOMISE in the use of water and waste leaa. Meters will, sooner or later, havo to bo used, and tho Water Board must exercise economy iu tho management of our works, whioh must be mado self sustaining, though not by increasing the rates as proposed by the Commissioners, whoso proposition to shift the burden from one shoulder the other is so absurd as to bo acaroely worth consideration. The economy must commence by Btopplng all useless and extravagant expenditure in oondnottog the affairs of tho Board, and In equalizing the rates no that one person Bhall not be unjustly called upon to pay in exoess of another person. With economy, there is no immediate danger of the supply falling short, and meanwhUo, let the oplnlona of hydraulio engineers in good standing be obtained.

Let the law be thoroughly examined as to its validity, and let it be so amended that no power will be solely conferred upon (he Commissioners, as by tho present act for acquiring lands, ponds or streams, either by purchase or otherwise. Let estimates of the cost of increasing the supply of water be had from competent authority, and then let tho amount to be expended be limited by tho Xeglslature, in order that tho enormous debt now rostlng upon the city may. not be. unnecessarily increased. Including the various assessments for street improvements, our city debt is now about (30,000,000, and, so tar as lies in my power, I intend to prevent its increase, especially till It la definitely decided whether or not the many assessmenta supposed to be payable by the residents on improved streets aro to be paid by those residents or by the tax payers at large.

The March on Havre. PRUSSIA WANTS 750,000 FRANCS INDEMNITY FROM BURGUNDY. Bavaria oes for Tours. London. December 10.

The public rejoicings in Berlin to celebrate the recent brilliant victories of the Prussian arms at Orleans and Rouen are exceedingly popular, and extend to all parts of the kingdom. The motive which prompts these rejoicings is, for the most part, founded upon the conviction that the end of the war is near at hand. The belief that the war must soon terminate is dally growing among all classes, and that the terms of peaoe which will be submitted by PruBsia will be acceptable to France. The German people generally deem any further sacrifice of life on the part of the French as utterly useless, and impossible to effect any ohange in the present oonditlon of that country. In this view, and also in consequence of the heavy losses bub tain ed by the Germans before Paris, the people of Berlin and tho principal cities throughout Germany are active in a movement to personally urge the immediate bombardment of Paris, in order that the inhabitants of that city may be compelled to surrender, and thus prevent any further unnecessary waste of life by preoipitating the close of hoBtQlties.

An address to King William is now in preparation, to be signed by the most influential inhabitants of tho city, which will embody the views given above, and which will be presented by an influential deputation to the King at Versailles in a few days.
