During a late hour on Wednesday night some daring burglary managed to effect an entrance in the Office of the National Insurance Company, No. 13 South street, and by workin0-vigorously at the safe, succeeded in obtainir.S-about $135, cf which $12 was in coin, and the balance in notes.

The books and papers of the company were undisturbed. It is net known in. what particular way the robber effected an entrance, for there are no evidences of a forcible demonstration. On Wednesday evening, Mr. Jas.

Suter, the principal clerk, examined the premises, and secured the dobr3. Yesterday morning the front door was discovered unlocked. Ecclesiastical. Rev. Dr.

WoLT, pastor of the German Reform Church, Paca street, having accepted the professorship of the Theological Seminary at Mercerburg, is making arrangements-for the discharge of his new duties. Next Sunday-he will occupy the pulpit of the above church for the last time. Dr. Wolif has labored faithfully and with great satisfaction to his congregation for several years, and hs efforts seem to have been fruitful. Having taken charge of the church at its completion, with a very small but devoted congregation, he ha3 succeeded in increasing its membership, and greatly advancing its temporal and spiritual interests.

Assaults and Batteries. Patrick Kesineywas arrested by officer Grahm, on the charge of throwing stores and stiking Mary Hudson. Justice Pen-ington released him on security to answer at court-Thomas F. and Elizabeth Johnsoti, colored, were arrested by oliicer Keilholtz, charged with assaulting and beating each other. Justice McAllister released them on security to answer at court.

Thomas F. Pusey was also arrested by officer Keilholtz, on the charge of assaulting and beating Zach-ariah Lepine. He was released by Justice McAllister on security to answer at court. Militiry. The military parade of the 12th of September has given quite au impetus to the volunteer soldiery, who are again making preparations for the last lair parade of the year, which, will take place in the early part of October, and be a half day's parade.

That demonstration will, no doubt, surpass any that has been witnessed for several years, as more companies will be represented, and in all probability with fuller ranks. Dangerous. Watchman David Stone, who was very severely injured on Tuesday night, in ib encounter with a desperate burglar in W. Lombard street, still lies dangerously ill at his house on Pennsylvania avenue. The ball has not yet been extracted.

Why not offer a heavy reward for the arrest of the burglar? It would no doubt stimulate the exertions of our independent police firms. The Weather. Yesterday proved another delightful season in this latitude, the thermometer at dawn of day standing at 58 degrees; at noon rising; to 64, and at dusk 60. There was a mild, gentle breeze all day from the north-east, which, with a clear sky and refulgent sun, invited a promenade, consequently there was quite an array of female loveliness en Baltimore street.

On the eastern side of Reservoir No. 3 will be located a gate house, from which is to lead the conduit of brick masonry. This conduit will be 4.214 miles in lensrth, of an oval form, and will have a capacity anddescent to discharge 40,000,000 gallons every 24 when 4-5 full. The terminus of the conduit will be a gate house opening into the valley of Maiden's Choice Branch, a portion of which is to form distributing reservoir No. 1, the surface of water full to be 153 feet aliove tide.

Distributing reservoir No. 2 is located in the same valley, and immediately adjoining No. 1, with the surface of water 30 feet lower. These two reservoirs will have an area of 41 acres, and will contain to a depth of 15 feet 176,005,650 gallons of water. To supply the higher portions of the city, third reservoir is located on high ground near the residence of Mrs.

Comegys, to which water is forced 100 feet in height by the fall of so much water as may be necessary for the purpose, from the first to the second reservoir. From theso three reservoirs, iron mains will lead to the city; two of 35 inches in diameter from the lower reservoir, and one of 16 inches from reservoir No. 3. The length of the formej to the city limits will be 10,000 feet, and tinder a head of 20 feet, they will be capable of discharging 21,062,458 gallons in 24 hours. The smallest main will be 8,300 feet in length, to the city limits, and under a head of 20 feet will be capable of discharging gallons every 24 hours.

This arrangement of reservoirs and mains will enable all parts of the city to be supplied. The larger mains will deliver water under sufficient head for that part below a line 110 feet above tide, and the remainder, containing at present a population of about 20,000, requiring gallons daily, will be supplied from the highest reservoir. The estimate of the cost of work on the above described plan provides for the construction of turbines and pumps at the Patapsco edequate to raise 16,000,000 gallons to the reservoir by running 20 hours, and also for a turbine and pumps at the distributing reservoir of capacity to raise 4,800.000 gallons in 20 hours, to the height of 1 00 feet. There is also added a sum as capital, the interest of which will provide for necessary repairs to the machinery, and also for the expense of pumping 16,000,000 esllons daily 100 feet high at the Patapsco, and 1,200,000 daily 100 feet high to the highest distributing reservoir.

Pipes and Mains to the City For Water Rights at the Patapsco. Total cost GREAT rAttS OF GUNPOWDER. This stream was three time3 daily, from the 15th to the 26th of August, inclusive.

To introduce the water from this stream two plans invited examination. The most obvious, and indeed that which from the topography of the intervening country appeared alone practicable, is to raise the water to a very considerable elevation, and thence by natural flow, to conduct it to reservoirs near the city. The other plan i3 to conduct the water by natural flow from the rivei-, through a tunnel for about one-half of the distance to the city, and for the remainder by a conduit of stone and brick masonry. This scheme was originally suggested by Mr. Duvall, of this city, who in-strumentally examined the route, and earnestly advocated its practicability.

STJPPLV-BV PUMPING. The site selected for a dam on the Gunpowder river is near the mouth of Mine Bank run, on lands of James Carroll, and Dr. T. C. Ris-teau.

The banks at this place are bold, and narrowly approach each other. The river bed, as indicated by observation and soundings, is granite rock, presenting a foundation possible character for the erect'on of a dam. The course of the river at the site of the dam form3 nearly a right angle; this being the point of its nearest ap- pruacii 10 uie city oi iSditimore. water line will principally follow steep side hills, rendering but little excavation necessary to pre-t ent the growth of aquatic plants. Above this, and comprised within the distance of two miles, a large amount of excavation will be required for that purpose, and for raisins public and private roads.

Ine cam will be 3o feet in height above its foundation, and 370 feet in length on top, of which length 175 feet will form the weir. On the right bank of the river, and contiguous to the darn, a tunnel in rock, 90 feet in length, will lead to the gate-house. From the opposite side of the gate chamber, with double sets of gates iron mains will lead to the turbine operating the force pumps. The fall will be 30 feet and the heisrht to be elevated 121 feet. W'ith a daily flow of 77,554,432 gallons, the amount raised to the reservoir would be 10,000.000 gallons, the proportion being as 1 to 7.7-5.

The average flow, according to the guagings, was 115,512,306 gallons, which divided by 7.76 gives gallons, as the capacity of the stream during' that period. To pump 41,000.000 of gallons daily, to the reservoir, will require a flow of gallons; and to provide that amount every 24 hours during a drought of 75 days duration, like the present, w'ill require either storage for 1957 millions of gallons, equal to an area of 399 acres, with a depth of 15 feet, or a steam engine and pumps at the Gunpowder to supply dailythe difference between 41,000,000 gallons and the flow of the conduit added to sa'ch draft from the reservoirs as they may be enabled to provide. The estimate of the cost'of works for the introduction of water from this stream is submitted in detail upon the following described plan: The water will be elevated to the receiving chamber by pumps, operated by turbine3 of adequate power to raise 10,000,000 gallons every 24 hours. At this chamber will commence the conduit of brick masonry. This conduit will be oval in form, with a descent of 1,108 feet per mile, and capacity to discharge forty millions of gallons in 24 hours when four-fifths full.

The first section of the conduit, 10,000 feet in length, will terminate at the head of Mine Bank Run, in a reservoir, to be formed by constructing a dam across the valley. From the opposite side of this reservoir, the second section of this conduit, 13,000 feet in length, will extend to a similar reservoir, to he formed in the valley of the west branch of Herring Run. The third section of conduit, 14,400 feet in length, commencing at the Herring Run reservoir, will terminate in the receiving reservoir at Cold Spring, near the York turnpike. The surface of water in this reservoir will be 228 feet above high tide. These will have an united area of 64acies and an available storage of 145,164,200 gallons.

The estimate provides for the erection of pumps and machinery adequate to elevate 16,000,500 gallons in 20 hours, ana includes a sum as capital the interest of which would pay the annual depreciation of machinery and current expenses of its operation. By the above plan the streams of Mine Bank and Herring Run would be availed of. The flow of these was gauged, and found to amount to gallons during 24 hours. On this plan it is proposed to erect a dam and to form a lake in all respects as described for the project of pumping, with a short tunnel, gate house and gate fixtures as heretofore' described. At the gate house commences the conduit of stone and brick masonry, the interior area of which will be 64 square feet, and the descent 1,108 feet per mile: the discharge consequently for twenty-four hours, when the conduit is 6- full, will be 70,000,000 gallons.

Its length to the first reservoir will be 7.8 miles. The reservoir is located in the valley of Tiffany's run, and will be made by raising the Hillen road where it crosses that valley. The surface of water in the reservoir will be 168 feetabove tide, its area 37.J acres. A second reservoir, located in Cold Stream run, will be connected with the first by a conduit 7,200 feet long. The surface of water in this reservoir will be 137 feet above tide: its area 12)4 acres.

A third reservoir, 277 feet above tide, is located on top of the hill at Monte Bello, occu pying the lormer site of General Smith's house the area of which will be 3 acres. To this reservoir, water will be elevated by pumps, operated by a fall of so much water as may be necessary from reservoir No. 1 to reservoir No. 2. From these three reservoirs iron mains will lpad to the city, two of 36 inches diameter each, from Nos.

1 and 9, and one of 16 inches diameter from reservoir No. 3. The length of these mains to reach city limits will be 3,950 feet, and to the centre of distribution, a point assumed to be at the corner of Charles and Saratoga streets, 7,000 feet further. The appendix shows the estimated cost of introducing 16,000,000 gallons of water daily from the great falls of the Gunpowder, by pumping, (a distance from the dam to the city limits of about 103 miles,) to be $1,914,130, inclusive of pipes and mains to the city limits, water rights, Appendix states in detail the cost of introducing the same quantity of water daily from the Gunpowder, by natural flow, through conduit of masonry and tunnel, a distance from the dam to city liittit3 of 10 miles, the total of which is $2,005,024, inclusive of pipes and mains to city limits, and water rights, a m-T rr ROUTE.

a third piaa. suusoste PRICE ONE CENT. nouncement of the distinguished honor you have to-day conferred upon me in selecting me as your candidate for Mayor at the approaching eleetion; and for which I now beg leave respectfully to tender you my thanks. It is a matter of much surprise to me that an individual so entirely unknown in political life, as myself, should have been thought of for the station, and I feel great reluctance in permitting my name to go forth in j'our cause, from a diihdence in my ability either properly to fill the office or to accomplish your purpose, and I still think another could have been found every way better qualified in both these particulars. You have, gentlemen, however, thought otherwise.

I shall therefore place my destiny, so far as the ffyoralty i3 concerned, in the hands of my fellow-citizens, believing implicitly in the popular idea that God controls and directs the public mind on all great occasions like the present. I shall deem it my duty to submit to its will, and should the result leave me as it finds me, a retired citizen, I shall be content, satisfied that all will be for the best. If on the contrary it places me at the head of the administration of this my native city, I shall endeavor to devote all my energies tojpromote her entire interests and the happiness of her people. Gentlemen, our cause is a righteous one; its aim being to allay that bitter sectarian feeling which has lately raised its venemous head in our midst, threatening the peace of our firesides, and to preserve inviolate our sacred Constitution, under which we have thti3 far lived and flourished so happily together. I trust we shall succeed; but if defeated, for myself? if I were a political aspirant, I would rather be immolated on its shrine than triumphant on its ruins.

In conclusion, let me add that, havine no selfish aspirations for the office, high and honorable as it is, and doubting the propriety of a candidate making any personal eflbrts towards his election, I hope that I shall be excured from doing so in my own case, desiring the people should be left to their own unbiased judgment in the matter. Thanking jou for the patience and kindness with which you have listened to my remark, I respectfully wish you good evening, and will, witii your permission, retire. lur. nomas was loudly applauded during hi3 remarks, and when he concluded he was ereeted ith repeated hearty cheers. The nomination ap- peareu to give general satisfaction, and the greatest unanimity of feeling prevailed.

Addresses were subsequently made by. Wm. M. Starr, the Hon. Joshua Vansant, Frank Key Howard and Jos.

J. Stewart, who were listened to with marked attention. Each assured the conven tion of the certain tiiumph of the democratic party at ine mayoralty election. At 11" o'clock the convention adjourned sine die. Fair of Vie Maryland Institute.

The hall was yesterday again liberallypatronized, having a con-tinned stream of visiters during the day, and a perfect crowd at night. A contribution which is and should be appreciated by every visitor is that from the U. S. government departments. We oueht, perhaps, to say contributions, for they came from different depart, ments, and we are sure the managers of the Institute are, cr ought to be, deeply thankful in the premises.

They areall from 'Washington city. The Navy Yard sends a boat Howitzer, with field carriage and boat carriase. These are designed by Lieut. John A. Dahlgren, and made and fitted under his direction in the mechanical and pyrotechnic department of the ordnance department of the navy yard, Washington.

The present samples have no "other finish" than that required for efficiency in service. The field carriage was actually in service on a cruising ship for two and a-half years. Also, two boarding pikes, taken from a lot made for service. Also, one eleven inch shell, new calibre; a thirty two pound shot and eight inch shell, which are cf the calibres which now arm our heaviest ships. There is, too, a model Howitzer.

These engaged in the line of ship building will be gratified with a view of the models of vessels, also sent from the Navy Yard. They are placed around tne gallery open "to the observation of all. There they wiil find perfect models cf a first class steam propeller of 0 guns; a second diss steam propeller of 24 guns; U. S. sloop of war Plymouth of 22 guns; U.

S. frigate Corrrress. 50 guns; sloop of war Saratoga, 22 guns; V. S. frigate Constitution.

50 guns; sloop cf war Germantown, 22 guns; V. S. line of battle ship North Carolina, 74 euns; U. S. line of battle ship Delaware, 71 guns; U.

S. frigate Potomac. 50 guns; LT. S. sloop of war St.

Mary, 22 guns; U. S. brig Truxtcn; 10 guns: and U. S. sloop of war Portsmouth, 22 guns." These models present a fac simile, in a mall way, of those wooden walls to which we look as outposts in time of danger.

The Arsenal sends the following: A percussion cap machine and a varnishing machine these are worth more than a simple note, and we will attend to them hereafter; a 12-pounder mountain howitzer with carriage this weapon of destruction is rigged precisely as it is canied'over mountainous heights on the back of a mule two mules will carry all its parts, gun, carriage and all; two pack saddles, with portable forge and tools this forge is a regu lar blacksmith shop, compressed into the smallest amount of room, and one would be surprised to see how much that is really valuabls of that cha racter can be placed in so small a space; a model of a 32-pounder gun and barbette carriage; a model of a 2 i-pounder gun and casemate carriage; a model of a 6-pounder gun and carriage, (English:) a model of a caison and limber, (English:) an artillery and a cavalry sabre; field officer's sword; a brass wall piece, a carabine and sabre, (Mexican;) 12 musket barrels and 5 musket stocks. The sim ple announcement of barrels and stocks would convey no idea what they are. The twelve barrels, it may te said, are the metal of which they are made from the hand in its roughest state, through all the gradations, until it becomes the perfect bar rel. The stocks are in the same category, from the rough until it becomes finished so as to receive the finished biTel. Canister, grape, fixed for howitzers and guns; 1 of Sharp's and 1 of Jenk's carbines; a musket with Maynard's lock; a double-barrel gun with bayonet, (French;) a musketoon with sword, (French:) a needle gun; a-U.

In connection with the contributions of the Gov ernment Departments, the visitor will see an odd sort of looking boat, with this inscription upon it: "Frsneis' Metallic Life Car. Thi3 car. the first made and stationed by Government on the coast, rescued 201 persons, men, women and children, from the wreck of the ship Ayrshire, at Squam Beach, N.

Jan. 12, 1850, in a terrific snow storm and tnrougn a heavy surf." The visitor would wonder how so small a craft could be managed to do so much work. Let us explain. Wherever there are one of these life cars, there i3 also a can non. A ball is lired over the wrecked ship to which a line is attached.

The line falls upon the ship, is caught and a communication is made with the shore. Hawsers are passed, and the car at tached, and it passes backwards and forwards, from wreck to shore, bringing its living freight confined within, and all who choose to run the risk of catching hold cf the ropes outside. The battered car is a curiosity. There are also two life boats made of metal. which will te seen swung from the ceiling of the hall.

They are only worthy of special note from the fact that they are the boats taken out bv Lieut. oi tne united states iNavy, iu hi3 explo rations in tne tioiy i.and. They were taken irom the ship in the Mediterranean and carried over land to the head waters of the river Jordan, and traversed the whole course of that river to its en- trance to the Dead Sea, and throughout the explo rations in the Dead Sea furnished the only means of transportation for Lieut. Lynch and the party engaged with rum. Tfie AvvroacMnt; Cattle Show.

The Maryland State Agricultural Society, encouraged by the sig nal success of all its exhibitions, is making preparations for another on a still larger scale, and should not tne weather or otner unforseen cir cumstances transpire, it is more than probable that they will present to the hundred thousand visiters who ill be in Baltimore the greatest "exhibition of the kind ever witnessed in this country. At the first meeting of the committee, over 400 stalls were engaged by arriculturi3ts, and since that time many more have been selected by the contributors.

110. THE SUN. THE WATER QUESTION. Report Ujoii a Supply oflVater for tlie Cily of Baltimore. Our readers are aware that T.

E. Sickels, ot FMIadelphia, had been called upon by the City Council of Baltimore to make a revisory survey of the different streams in our vicinity looked to as a source for an ample supply of water for the inhabitants of our growing city, in both the more immediate and prospective future of its expansion and greatness. Surveys had been previously made by Messrs. Slade and Chiffelle, but owing to contrariety of statements and disagreements in their respective reports, it was thought proper, in view of the great importance of the measure, to have a re-survey by a third party, and we now have the result in the report of Mr. T.

E. Sickels, before the City Council last evening. Mr. Seckels, we observe, favors the great falls of the Gun-Powder river as the source of supply, the water to be dammed in the stream at a short distance below Ilchester, and introduced into the city by a natural flow through an air-line tunnel, a distance of nearly eight miles and a half, and by which 70,000,000 of gallons may be daily obtained. In the outset, Air.

Sickels regarded it as of first importance to estimate the probable quantity of water that would be required to constitute an abundant supply; he therefore examines the experience of those whose location, climate and necessities approximate most closely to those of Ealtimore. The cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia have been provided with water for periods of sLx years, twelve years and thirty-two years, respectively, from works constructed by the municipal authorities. Boston, commencing in ISoO with 41.7 wine gallons for each inhabitant, had increased the consumption in May, 1S54, to 71 gallons for each. New York has a daily supply of nearly 90 imperial gallons each, equal to 103 wine gallons. Philadelphia, commencing in ISoO with 31 wine gallons each, had increased in July and August, 1854, to 54.8 gallons each.

The report says: The diminished rate of consumption in this city, compared with that of New York and Boston, is attributed to the fact that Philadelphia has principally a surface drainage, while in those cities there are sewers in nearly all the streets, with which private drains connect in such a manner as greatly to facilitate the use of water for various legitimate purposes, and to prevent detection in its excessive use or waste. The average daily consumption of water during 1353, for each inhabitant of the districts accommodated, exceeded that of 1850 by about 31 per cent. The cause of this increased consumption is obviously owing to the fact, that although, during those three years, the increase in the number of dwellings taking water was but 24 per the increase in the number of baths was 4-2 per in street washers 87 per cent; in water closets 130 per and in basins 430 per exclusive of hotels, stores and public buildings. Baltimore, naving, like Philadelphia, a surface drainage, the experience ef that citv is regarded as a more reliable guide than that of Boston or New York, to determine the quantity which would constitute an abundant supply. Assuming that the ultimate use of the water fixtures referred will effect an increase in the average daily consumption of water for each inhabitant in Philadelphia equal to that which obtained during the period of the three years preceding 1853, there results the amount of 53 gallons.

This will be taken as the average daily quantity of water required for each inhabitant of the city of Baltimore to constitute an abundant supply. Present and Probable Future Population qf Baltimore: The population of Baltimore- in 130 was i40 103,213 1850 169,054 The ratio of increase ef the first decade was 27 per cent, and of the secon i 65 per cent. In estimating the future growth of Baltimore, -with a view of providing for an abundant supply of water, it, would not be judicious to assume any less rate of increase than that of the decade termina ing in 1850. The growth of population during that period, resulted from the normal development of the city's resources and enterprise, without any especial stimulus for rapid advancement. Judging from the experience of New York and Boston since the completion of their direct avenues to the West, an impetus may be expected to the growth of this city upon the opening of her Northern and WTestem lines of Railroads, fully adequate to maintain that rate of increase for one at least.

The population of Baltimore, it is assumee, in an abundant supply of water can be introduced, will be 245,000, requiring 13,107,500 gallons. In I860, 279,000 14.906,500 1870, 460,000 24,610,000 1680, 40,660,000 KXAMINATIOXS FOR SUPPLV. Having in view the procuring of 13,000,000 gallons of water daily, upon completion of the works, and of 41,000,000 gallons daily at subsequent period, the Patapsco river, the'Great Falls ot the Gunpowder, and Jones' Falls were the only streams in the vicinity of Baltimore that invited examination. Advantage was taken of a period of extreme drought to determine the flow of these streams, the greatest care being observed to arrive at correct results. Manufacturers using the power of these streams agree in representing that they have never known the water to be lower than it has been during the present season.

Their statements are confirmed for a period 'of 18 years, by the records of rain fall, and it is believed that they may be received as applicable to a term of not les3 than thirty years. The guagings therefore indicate the flow of the respective streams during a drought of unexampled severity. THE PATAPSCO. Owing to the numerous mills on this stream above Ilchester, the flow of water was extremely irregular from Monday morning to Saturday night. Measurements, therefore, have been made on Sun- uay evening; and, in addition, for the purpose of verification, observations were made hourly, day i auu liigiiL, lur tuusw uv iiuurs.

On Sunday, August 6th, the flow was at the rate of wine gallons per 24 hours. On Sunday, August 13th, the flow was at the rate of wine gallons per 24 hours. From 4 P. August 24th, to 4 P. M.

August 27th, during which time hourly observations were taken, the mean flow was 74,589,417 gallons for 24 hours. To introduce water from the Patapsco. the best plan, it is believed, will be to erect a dam three- tourths of a mile below Ilchester, and thence to convey the water in a race, or open canal, on the right bank of the river, to a point opposite to the Ava Ion works, where the fall to tide would be 65 feet. By availing of this entire fall as a power to operate pumps, a portion of the water will be forced 100 fret ia height to a receiving reservoir 2,600 feet distant. With -laily flow of 30,558,939 gallons, the Patapsco will raise 10,000,000 gallons to the receiving reservior, the proportion of the flow to the amount pumped being as 1 to 3.65.

The average flow according to the guagings was 72,387,233 gallons, which, divided by 37tj, gives 19,996,228 as the capacity of the stream during that period. To pump 41,000,000 gallons daily to the receiving reservoir, will require a flow of gallons, and to provide that amount daily, during a drought similar to the present, which has continued for seventy-five days, will storage capacity of 1,575 millions of gallons, aqual to an area of 321 acres, with a depth of 15 feet, or the erection of a steam engine and pumps at the Patapsco, of adequate power to supply the daily deficiency between the quantity required for use in the city and the quantity supplied by the con- uun, auueu io sucn amount irom tne reservoirs as their ize may be able to provide. The general plan may be thus described It is proposed to erect a dam in the Patapsco river at a favorable locality lor this p'trpose, about 4.000 feet below Ilchester. A lake will be formed thereby extending to the tail-race of the lowest mill at that place, and having an area of 21 acres To paevent the growth of aquatic plants, it is proposed to excavate the shores of the lake, so as to secure a dopth of water of not less than four feet throughout the surface. The lam to be built of solid stone masonry, lata in cement tor a length of 150 feet, which form the weir for the discharge of floods, or other surplus water.

From both ends of the masonry an embankment, faced with heavy dry walls of stone, to extend to the bank? of the stream. Upon the risrht bank it is nroposed to construct an open canal or race for a length of 13,000 feet, the upper terminus being in a Gate House opening into the lake and the lower in a similar Gate House, from which the pumps will be supplied. Both of these houses are to be provided with double sets of composition metal gates to contral the supply of water. From the lower gate house, iron mains will lead to the turbine placed near the foot of the hill, and covered by a building within which will be placed all the machinery and pumps. From the pump house, it will be necessary to excavate a tail-race 2,500 feet long to connect with tidewater.

The ascending mains from the pumps, to pass under the bed of the Patapsco river, and thence up the left bank for an entire distance of 2,600 feet to the first receiving Reservoir. Th is will be formed by erecting a dam of earth and slope wall 30 feet high, across a ravine, and will have an area of 1 1-10 acres. Excavations around the shore, as at the lake, will be made and the material be placed to form a berm to exclude surface drainage from the Reservoir. Reservoir No. 1 will be connected to reservoir No.

2 by open rock cut and a rock tunnel, each 1,000 feet long. From reservoir No. 2 to reservoir No. 3, will be an open canal 400 feet in length. These reservoirs have an United area of 3 6-10 acres; are all located in ravines, and will be formed in Vl cama rr ri Vi r.vt 1 Tn 0" ThpV Will Bft TrO- vided with waste-pipes and gate arrangements, 30 itself, the cost of which is stated in detail in Appendix D.

It may be regarded as a modification fcf the last described plan, and consists in substituting for the circuitous route of the tunnel and conduit, an Air-Line Tunnel trom the lake to the distributing reservoir. This tunnel will be 6.3i miles in length, and from 50 to 270 feet below trie surface of the ground at grade, with capacity sufficient to discharge 70,000,000 gallons in 24 hours, APPENDIX D.

This stream was guaged near the Relay House of the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad. Mea-suiements were made three times dailyT from August 7th to August 26th, with two intervals of 53 hours and 60 hours respectively; during these intervals they were taken hourly. The average flow of the stream for the time it was gauged, was 8,297,238 gallons during twenty-four hours. To supply 13,000,000 gallons daily from this source would require, during a drought like the present, of 75 days continuance, a storage capacity for 352 millions of gallons, or a reservoir of 72 acres, 15 feet deep. In 1860 there would be required reservoir area of 102 acres; in 1870, 250 eeres; and in 1880, 494.

Upon this area the average daily evaporation would be 1,500,000 gallons, or over one-fourth the present flow of that stream. No practicable method of securing this amount of storage could be seen, having reference to security and reasonable cost: and were this attainable, the gaugings of Mr. Slade indicate that by absorbing the entire flow ot the stream, the amount that could be supplied daily would be iasuliicient for the requirements of the city in 1680. Regarding this stream therefore as wholly inadequate to furnish an abundant supply of water to the city of Baltimore, it wa3 deemed unnecessary to present estimates of the cost of introduction. The distance from the city limits to a point on the stream, where by natural flow the water could be delivered in the city with sufficient elevation, is miles; and the intervening country is of not less expensive character for th3 construction of a conduit than that of any ether surveyed route for a corresponding distance.

Nat'rl flow! by Air-line: tunnel. 1 10 70,000,000 8" l.PoS.S-jOi 70.COO,rX By the above table, it is shown that the cost of procuring seventy millions of gallons of water from the Great of the Gunpowder on the air line route, exceeds by a small sum onlv the cost of procuring less than one-fourth of that quantity from the same source by pumping, and is considerably less than the cost of procuring 16 millions of gallons from the Patapsco river. In view of these facts, and in compliance with my instructions, I recommend as the best plan of introducing an abundant supply of good and wholesome water into the city of Baltimore that which is herein described as the air line routs from the Great Falls of the Gunpowder. Certainty of supply should be regarded of the highest importance in the consideration of any pioject for the introduction of water into a large city.

Where this is made dependent upon the operation pf pumps, which are ever liable to derangement, and in addition, from their necessary position, are exposed to injury by floods, the highest skill and most faithful vigilance may fail to avert disastrous consequences. The plan herein recommended possesses the elements of certainty of supply to an eminent degree. without the interposition of machinery of any kind, the water is diverted from the lake, and by its own gravity flows to the city. OF AK INCREASED SUPPLY. The estimate of the probable amount of water that would be required to constitute an abundant supply for the citv of Baltimore, at 53 gallons daily to each inhabitant, was made with reference onlv to its domestic use and for the extinguishment of fires, and it was not intended to imply that a much larger quantity would not prove highly advantageous for sanatary and other purposes.

The ccst of an increased supply, (exclusive of increased cost of water rights) is estimated at $513,915, and the mode of securing it is thus set forth: It is proposed to raise the dam at the Gunpowder lake to a height of 186 feet above tide, being ten feet higher than heretofore contemplated. The lake formed thereby will cover 400 acres, and, to a depth of ten feet, will contain 1200 million gal-lone of water. A gate house of enlarged dimensions will be required, and a tunnel having an area of ISO square feet. These comprise all'the modifications requisite for a supply of 1 10 million gallons of water daily to the reservoirs. The least flow of the Gunpowder during the present drought has been 106 millions, and it is believed that the average flow during this period has been at least 121 millions of gallons daily.

The storage in the lake, as above stated, will amount to 1200 millions of gallons, bein? a provision for a draught of 16 millions of gallons daily during a drought of 75 days continuance. This, added to the flow, makes 140 millions of gallons per day, which may be relied upon during the most extreme cases of drought. The flow of Falls was measured half hoiirlv for 32 hours, from 9 A. September 8th. to 5 P.

M. September Ptb, and amounted to gallons, equal to 5,482 0S0 gallons for 24 hours. Affaiks is Allegany County. The Cumberland Telegraph mentions a rumor that the New Creek Coal Company, which is involved in difficulty in relation to the title to a piece of land, has suspended operations. The same paper states that the canal is sadly in want of water, only two loafs, with 212 tons of coal, having descended last week.

The Telegraph has also the following items: The Coal Trade. During last week, there were received over the Cumberland Coal and Iron Co's road, 4,971 tons of coal; over the Mt. Savage road 4,917 tons; and over the George's Creek road 3.469 tons, making for the week 13,358 tons, and for the season 444,350, of which 335,129 tons were transported over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and 109,220 tons descended the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

The Hsbrew New Yeab.

Gen. Washington and the Hebrews. The Hebrew fast and festival, in commemoration of their new year, commences this evening, and will be continued until Sunday evening. The ceremonies of the occasion are strictly observed by every good Hebrew. They are intended as preparatory to the solemnities of the day of Atonement, which is on Monday week day observed by the Hebrews throughout the world, by a suspension of all kinds of business, abstinence from every description of food, and a strict observance of religious ceremonies in their various synagogues.

As appropriate to the occasion, we insert a few extracts from a correspondence which took place in August, 1790, between the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island, and President Washington. After an allusion to the days of difficulty and danger through which the great chief had passed, the address of the Hebrews continues: "Deprived as we have heretofore been of the invaluable rights of free citizens, we now (with a deep sense of gratitude to the Almighty Disposer of ail events) behold a government erected by the Majesty of the People a government which to bigotry gives no sanction, to persecution no assistance, but generously affording to all liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship deeming every one, of whatever nation, tongue or language, equal parts of the great governmental machine. This so ample and extensive Federal Union, whose base is philanthropy, mutual confidence and public virtue, we cannot but acknowledge to be the work of the Great God, who ruleth in the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth, doing whatsoever to him seemeth good. "For all the blessings of civil and religious liberty which we enjoy, under an equal and benign administration, we desire to send up our thanks to the Ancient of Days, the great preserver of men, beseeching him that the Angel who conducted our forefathers through the wilderness into the promised land, may graciously conduct you through all the difficulties and dangers of this mortal life. And when, like Joshua, full of days and full of honors, you are gathered to your fathers, may you be admitted into the heavenly paradise, to partake of the water of life and the tree of immortality." To which President Washington, after acknowledging the cordiality of the welcome given him by all classes of citizens, says "The citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having si-Yen to mankind examples of an enlarged and lihe-lal policy a policy worthy of imitation.

All possess a like liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were by the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights; for happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their eli'ectual support." Affairs in Prince George's County. The Marlboro' (Md.) Advocate notes an improvement in the growing tobacco since the late rain3. In some places patches which were scorched almost yellow have resumed a healthy green color, and present a fresh and normal appearance. Such a phenomenon in September, it says, has not been witnessed before for several years.

The crop at best, however, will be short, but with good weather the quality will be improved. The tobacco worms, unfortunately, are unusually numerous, and are doing much damage to the crops. The Advocate has also the following items: Declined. The Vestry of Trifiity Church in thi3 lace are in receipt of a letter from Rev.

LOCAL MATTERS. The Democratic Mayoralty Convention. The Democratic Mayoralty Nominating Convention met at corner of Fayette and Frede-liok streets, last evening, and organized, cn motion of Wm. Al. Starr," by calling Cel.

Henry Snyder to the chair. Or motion of Mr. Oliver "Wood, Mr. George H. Hickman was appointed secretary.

The roll was called and all the delegations found to be full. On motion of Mr. Geo. Tewksbury, a com mittee ol one from each ward was appointed to nominate permanent the convention. 1 he committee retired, and in a few minutes re turned and named the following gentlemen, who were unanimously accepted: President Hon.

Joshua ansant; A ice Presi dents Col. Henry Snyder, John France, Dr. John xi. isriscoe, ana luicnaei loner. Secretaries Joseph J.

Stewart, and George H. Hickman. Mr. Vansant, on taking the chair, thanked the Convention for the honor conferred upon him in selecting him to preside over it, invoked union and harmony, ana in a very leiicitous manner alluded to the increasing power and glory of the country. He referred to the new organization which has sprung up, whose progress has already been marked with scenes of bloodshed with the shedding of fraternal blood: an organization which seeks to "degrade a portion of the people of our country, and, if successful, would result in further scenes of violence, for man could not be degraded with impunity.

If there ever was a time when the people of Baltimore were called upon to vindicate their principles, it was now here, in Maryland, where the standard of religious toleration was first raised. It was a time when the democracy should come up to the work boldly, and not permit themselves to be put down by mob violence, as has recently been done in Washington. If they came up to their work in the proper spirit, victory would again perch upon the democratic standard, as in days gone by. Mr. Vansant was quite eloquent, and was repeatedly interrupted by the applause of the members of the convention and the large audience in attendance.

On motion of Mr. Wm. M. Starr, the convention proceeded to nr minate candidates for Mayor. Messrs.

William G. Thomas, Robert Clinton Wright, John Smith Hollins, William George Baker and Charles A. Leas were placed in nomination by their respective friends. Mr. Wm.

T. Walters stated that he had a letter in his possession from Robert Clinton Wright, in which he unequivocally declines being a candidate for Mayor. Mr. Wm. H.

Shelley moved that a committee of five persons be appointed, who shall wait upon the several candidates named, and ascertain from each if they will serve if nominated. The resolution was lost by a decided vote. The letter from C. 'Wricht was read, in which he unequivocally declines being a candi date for the Mayoralty. The letter was dated the 20th instant.

Messrs. Jno. France and Thomas Lloyd stated that Mr. right had on yesterday morning stated that if nominated by the convention he would serve. Mr.
