Mr. Denton stated that the Council had been called to consider the propriety of constructing a new reservoir, and briefly stated that the committee had adopted the plan prepared by Mr. W. Gill, the City Engineer, and Mr. Davis, the Superintendent of the Water Works. From Mr. Gill's report on the subject, we make the following extract: "It is proposed to build the new reservoir on the east side of the present one, and to raise Mr. Gill's report on the subject, we make the following extract: "It is proposed to build the new reservoir on the east side of the present one, and to raise the water line of the present reservoir three feet higher, and to build the new reservoir to the same height. "The new reservoir will be 500 feet long by 450 feet wide at the surface of the water, and will be divided into two equal parts by a division embankment extending through it. It will contain, when full, about thirty millions gallons of water. The filter beds, two in number, will be located on the northern side of the new reservoir. They will each be 246 feet long by 150 feet wide.

clogged, the filtering process will be so arranged that the action of the water in passing through the filter beds can be reversed and the sedimentary deposit washed off and out of the reservoir, by means of waste pipes, which are common to the whole system. This plan has been successfully tried by several water companies both in England and Scotland. "In carrying out this plan more land will be required on the east side of the reservoir than is afforded by the recent purchase from Mr. Wooldridge. It will, therefore, become expedient to purchase the balance of the ground between the reservoir and Hollywood Cemetery. If the reservoir is confined to the present narrow limits, it will become necessary to resort to heavy walls of masonry, with the view to economise space, which will increase the cost of the proposed reservoir fully as much as the price asked for the land. This land will ultimately be required for reservoir purposes, and it will be economy for the city to purchase

d reservoirs will be arranged by means of stop cocks and pipes that the water can be drawn at pressure from any one of the several compartments, for the purpose of cleansing or making any repairs to them. "The very turbid character of the James river during freshets might lead to some apprehensions with regard to clogging up, to which the filtering medium might be subject during such periods.--But when we come to consider that the water of James river is never very turbid for more than fouJames river is never very turbid for more than four or five days at a time, and that there will be no difficulty in stopping the pumps at such times; and also, that the water will be some twenty days in passing through the different compartments of the reservoir, it is evident that by this arrangement the water will have ample time to deposit its sedimentary load before it reaches the filter beds.

liament, and what is the Ministry? We have wandered too far from our purpose, which was to lay the subjoined paper before the public: Visit of the Prince of Wales to Richmond It is marvelous now fast a lie will travel, and how difficult it is to put a stop to it when once the steam is up. When the account of the reception of the Prince of Wales in Richmond first appeared in the New York Times, it was apparent to the committee of the Council and citizens, that some professional Munchausen of the press had been employed to promulgate a wholesale slander upon the people of Richmond; and that the article had been accordingly manufactured out of the raw material of falsehood to suit the demand. The committee knew positively and personally that not a word was true relating to the insults alleged to have been offered in the Capitol or elsewhere; that no event transpired, and no word was uttered, which could give the least color to the statement in the "Times." They were aware

for Richmond. Richmond must be destroyed, not by war, pestilence and famine, not by fire and sword, not after the fashion of Carthage or Jerusalem, but by neglect. No royal cortege is hereafter to enliven its doomed streets — no royal hope of a King-loving people is to breathe its polluted atmosphere — no magnanimous Briton is to sport his burly carcass from this day forth within its accursed precincts. The decree has gone forth. From this day, Richmond must look to her own spit-boxes; John Bull will no longer supply her with inspectors. She must depend upon her own unassisted imagination for fifty ideas in connection with hip-baths and spit-boxes, and all the abominations so congenial to John's taste. John will not condescend, henceforth, to enlighten her even upon the condition of his belly, upon the stuffing he undergoes at dinner, upon the washings of his feet, the condition of his sheets, or any of the little private incidents which figure so largely in all he has heretofor
