But whatever may be the defects of the town, they are snore than compensated by the great and Tsried attractions i of the country, i High above all tn fneighborinfe snnamiU rises tho-hngei dark outline of the Tinwald Hill, upon which, more than two centuries ago, tbe ancient court met pass sen- tence upon the gallant had ill-fated William Christian, who, having: headed the rising which overthrew and imc risor.ed the titular Queen of Wan, (Sir Walter Scott's famous Count of Derby,) was" himself; overthrown in turn by another outbreak equally unexpected and shot as a traitor at Banco, defending with his last breath the deed for which he suffered.

From tbe further end of the esplanade a road winds upward for about a mile to the entrance' of Ball re Glen, where a tiny stream leaps foaming I down the moss-grpwn rocks in an endless succession of miniature waterfalls, untouched by tbe sun even at midday so thickly grow tbe trees that clothe the sides of the chasm. But this charming little nook is only the vestibule of one of the most pictnresque regions in the whole island; and any one who fine scenery and is not afraid cf a tittle rough walking, will do well, instead of following the circuitous railroad, to tramp the miles of coast highway between Ramsey and Douglas, taking the romantic panorama of -Ballat glass Gorge and Glen Dhoon, where a mountain torrent flings itself over a precipice into a deep rockyj chasm, keeping the overarching leaves ever iresh and green with its shovfcering spray. i Bach spots naturally afford' abundant material to tbe quaint superstition which-has peopled them with a mythology as wild and striking as the weirdest Jancies of Tieck or GcgoC glen, every torrent, precipice, has its own appropriate legend, and if you go out for a night's fishingor a day's marching with any of tbe Manx veterans, and draw them out upon their own local traditions, you are pretty certain to bear; something like the following "I've heard bry grandfather tell a story many a time of thing that happened when he was a youngster, and it sel to frighten me sojthat imany's the night I've not dared to co up bed without mother would go along withine. It seems there was an old pars an living then, as good a man as ever stepped insSoe leather, and he thought nothing of sittinig upsall night wjth a sick man after a hard day's wrork, or walking 20 miles through the snow, if acy- doqj wan tea nun. iow, it was a way ha.

All on a sudden he heard a terrible noije, which seemed to be neither before nor behind hira, but everywhere at' onea.

At first it sounded pretty much like the bellowing of a bull, only a deal louder than nay born bull ever bellowed yet bus presently it came nearer, and seeme like a mix-up of screaming, rearing. lUowine. and howling, as if all tbe evil spirits in tbe bad place below had broke loose at once. All at once there broke out from the shadow of the mountains a great black thing somethiag like a bull in shape, but as much bigger than any Christian bull as a bull's bigger than a dog.si The parson got a bit rightenod, and email tilame to him for it, too, hearing siteh a horrid row without anybody to make itr So down he went on" his kaees and began tn say his prayers like achnrch belUgoing. The thing tame right down upon hire full gallop, with its great eyes blazing like lighthouse lamps, and its tramp shakine the very earth, i But iust as it rrarhiwi him it turned away anil, made straight for a little cottage that stood by itself, in which there lived, all, alone, a miserly old fellow who had a very bad name with all the country folk.

When the parson got his wits together -a bit and began to look about him no bull was to bn seen, nor even so much as the print pf a hoof on the grass, but when ho got to the cottage he found tbe old chap just dead. Put whether this creature was the devil come to fetch him, or something else nigif as the parson couMn't tell, nor nay grandfather couldn't, nor I can't neither." But the Manx superstitions have their grace-' fulas well as their terrible side and the strange mingling of simple childlike beauty and quaint grotesqueaesn in the fairy legends. which are more abundant here than in any other part of Europe, might have satisfied dear old Hans Andersen himself. One of these stories, extracted from aa old' English author, may fitly close this far top hasty sketch of one of the most interesting epots in Britain: Another instance. which might serve to strengthen the credit of the other, was tiild me by a person who has tbe reputation Af ha mmt integrity.

This man being desirous of disposing of a horso for which he bad at Hhat'time no great occasicto. and riding him to market for that purpose, was accosted in passing: over the mountains by a little man ia a plain dress, who asked nim if he Would self his horse! 'That js the business 1 1 am gouag upon," answered tbe person who told moi tbe story" upon which other desire I know the price. Eight $40J said ha quoth the stranger. I will give ne more than seven, whichj if you will take, hero is your money." The owner, Flhinking be bad bid pretty fair, agreed with him; anditfce money being told out, the one dismounted. and tbe other got oh the, back of the horse, which he bad no sooner done than both beast and rider sank into the earth immediately, leaving tbe person who had made the bargain in utmost terror and consternation.

As soon as he had a little recovered himself he went directly to. the parson of the parish and related what had passed, desiring his opinion whether he ought to make use of the money he had received or not. To which tbe parson re-, plied that, ai he had made' a fair bargain," and In no way circumvented nor endeavored to circumvent be buyer, he saw no reason to be lieve, in case. is was an evu spirit, mac it could hare any power over him. TDn this assurance be went horbe satisfied, and nothing afterward happened to -give him any disquiet concerning this affair." 1 1 i 5 favor or woxjurs srrrsj.Gt.

A doses years before tbe eommeneetneBt of the devolution the seed of more water than tbe ordinary wells eould supply was teit. aa some indefinite plans were canvassed. The City then hardly came up to the City Hall Park, but danger wasapcrehended from fire such a fire as I same soon after the British took possession in 1778, whereby nearly all the West Side, from Broadway to the Hudson, and from below Sector to Xwr street and further- up, was destroyed.

Trtaltv i Church included. In 1774 Christopher Colles twho was Interested for many 'years afterward on tbe subject,) pro- posed the construction of reservoirs and the laying of wooden pipes through the principal streets, and aner long discussion the common Council consented. Colles proposed to dig wells for the supply, and to construct a large reservoir on the east side of Broadway, between Pearl and White streets. into which tbe water should be -pumped. Some wells were dug and ihe water proved td be good, under which encouragement tbe Corporation Issued bonds to pay tbe expense.

Bnt before any considerable progress bad been made the war of tbe Bevolation begun, tbe ope ratios of Colles were suspended, aod there was nothtn more done about water supply until tbe Spring of u. wucn samnei ugaen proposea-to erect works to supply the City. Mss months later (January, 176.) Bobert Ltvtaeston aad John Lawreaee made a proposition for the same purpose, it does not aprar that either proposition was considered but soon afterward the Corporation advrnierd for proposals to furnish tbe needed supple. This, however, csme to nothing. InJsnusry, 1788.

peti tions were sent to tbe Common Council in favor of tbe carrying out of the plana proposed by Colles. but no action wss taken. In February, 1793, Zebina Curtis mad others proposed to furnish water, but the record says nothing mora of their proposition. In March. 17B5.

bamual Crane proposed to take the supply from the famous tea-water pump and convey It through Roosevelt and other streets in pipes. This pump was near the junction of Chatham and Pearl streets, aad was famous for tbe bountiful supply and 'excel-1 lence of its wster, which was carted around the City and sold to housekeepers. From the water's supposed superiority for making tea the pump got Irs name. But not many yean after the date here alluded to some wicked Investigators declared that the superexceheat water really came from 1 the Collect Pond, and was no better than sewer dram-age strained through sand and gravel. i On the 1st of February, 171-6, the Common Council advertised tor proposals to supply tbe City, and several offers were made, but no definite action was taken 'A year later another advertisement brought seren or etuht propositions, which were burled In committee, in Becember.

1743, B. J. Roosevelt and Judge Cooper of Otsego County) made proposals. Up to this time no one seems to have thought of going beyond the Ctrv "certainly not beyond the Inland fori water. They au reuea on oia or new well, tbe tea-water pump, or the Collect Pond.

This pond occupied nearly one-third of tbe present Sixth Ward, between about Baxter and Elm and Pearl and Canal streets, and was drained into tbeKorth River bv an open ditch through Canal-street, It was deep near the site of tbe Tombs, and the water was necessarily filthy, as the pond took in a great amoaat of street drainage. i On the 17th of December. 1799, the' Common Conacll got the first glimmer of tbe possibility of going beyond the island for water, and turned tbeir atteatioa to tbe sluggish little Bronx River-no little mors than a meadow brook. It would furnish aa abundanoe for the City of 80,000 inhabitants, and Its water was singularly pare. Tbe river and surrounding country were examined, the idea was deemed feasible, and tbe Common Coapcil determined to apply to the Legislature for 1 the necessary power to issue, bonds and go on with the work.

Tbe iCity had been scourged with yellow fever and some of tbe doctors In tbeir wisdom decided that the disease was promoted (some said caused) by the poor Quality of water then la use. The first plan, with the Bronx for a base, was to bring the wster to Harlem Biver at an elevation of hu. feet above tide, and force it intb a reservoir which was to be made near The Bove. a well-known publlo bouse about five miles from the City From this reservoir pipes would be laid In the tnaia thoroughfares, and another reservoir was to be built in the City Ball Park or above the hospital on Broadway. Just as this plan seemed to be on the way to suoeess, Aaron Burr, (then a member of tbe Legislature.) conceived the idea of tbe afterward famous Manhattan Bank job.

Under tbe specious pretext of tormlng a company to supply tbe City of hew-York with pure and wholesome be proposed a bill the real object of which was to charter a great banking-bouse. Protests were sent up by the City Government and by the most eminent citizens. but Burr was not the man to be foiled, and he easily secured i tbe passage of his charter. The best that tbe City could do was to take a hand la tbe game, and so the Common Council took 2.0U0 shares of tbe stock. Nothing was done with the Bronx Biver project, nor were any new projects broached for several, rears.

Although authorized to go over all New-York island and all Westchester County for water, the Manhattan Company confined its operations to tbe lower and thickest set-tied part of the City, where money could be made by the sale of water. They sunk a single large well aesr tbe corner of Itaaae and Cross streets, (City Hall-place.) and Instead of pure and wholesome water" gave their customers the drainings of tbe Collect pond, borne feeble efforts were made to bold tbe company to Its promise, but tne managers laughed at the people and did nothing more. It was not until after tbe peace of Ghent that further efforts were made for a water supply. In 1816 Robert Maoomb aad others proposed to build a reservoir near Barlem River and pipe the water down from Bye Pond. This project came to nothing.

Bix years passed, and to April. 1822. a oom-niisslon. beaded by Stephen" Allen, reported on plans looking to Rye Pond, the Bronx, and 31 ill Brook, but again "nothing was done, Tbe next year developed a grand idea. Which was ao teas, than the bringing of water from the UousaUinio Biver Iato the city to supply factories and bouses, wash streets, and put out fires.

Before tbe notion was fairly understood It was proposed to dig a canal from Obloag River at Sharon, to Dover. Dutchess County. N. Y. thenee.

down the valley of bwamp River, through Putnam Cone- Kty, so irawioru amis, on tne east Branca ettue IX'roton; thence to Macomb'a Dam on tbe Harlem layer, passing through two tunaels 1.380 and yards long the whole length bt miles and tbe water at barlem Biver to be 87 feet above tide. This plan wss approved by the bnt it was much too expensive fur tae time the capital eould not be raised, ana the project went tbe way of its predecessors. In the next year too Bronx was again attacked, but wtth ao result, i la Itftt theXLegitlature Incorporated the Ttew-Tork Water-werxs Company, tbe plan of which was to bring thev entire Bronx River in aa arched conduit to tae bank ot the Barlem. put it anderor over to some wayx and then distribute through pipes. It was a snort-lived notion, for almost as soon as it was born tbe Sharon Cabal Company shut down upon it with a claim to all the water en tbe route ot their proposed eanaL Thus driven from tbe country, the water east era oreamed that they eould gat aa abaadaat saeptv from wells ea the helstU'Ms Hartem.

At this period Alderman Sam Stevens proposed a well and reservoir la i cuneec th-ree t. the reservoir to hold ,000 hogsheads, pipes tO take tne water down the Bowery and Broadway to Chatbam-equare and Canal-street, The record--is wanting here, but we believe the work was undertaken, or at least authorized.

About this time there was much eotaolaiat of the Manhattan failure, and in lfl, an effort wa made by the Common Council to grl a repeal of the comoaar's charter. It was not annrfai. however.

At this time, too, the idea that water sufficient for the City's needs tsnld be got on tee 1 stand was given up. It has never been revived. The formatioa ef Manhattan Island aad tka acr- rossding country ortud toe idea taat fio wingweUs oaa be found.
