Mr. Editor--Our friend O., it appears,
has again come forward and suppose has
arranged the thing entirely to his own salts
faction He asks "what is to prevent all
the water in the race from flowing upon
the wheeli" and then replies. "why gate,
to be sure; gate to open and yet make no
aperture" Excellent reasoning: quite wor-
thy a man Of his extensive "knowledge o.
mechanics and the pressure of fluids" But
il docs not follow, OF course, that because "a
gate prevents all the water in the race from
flowing upon the Wheel" that the Commit
tee can take what quantity they please. or
decide on what aperture they shall have,
without the consent Of other parties in the
concern; and as there are other parties
whose rights must be respected, and who
if my information is correct, positively re-
fuse to enter into any arrangement tor detln-
ing the aperture by any certain number OF
inches. I think our friend Q. himself, will
| be somewhat pcrpleXed to direct the Com
mittee what aperture they should make use
of under the existing circumstances. l can
now inform him that have "taken time to
examine soberly," "and must confe IS have not
penetration enough to discover his useful
facts and obvious deductions, and perhaps tor
this plain reason.--tbat at the commence
mcnt he bcgs the question. 1.-THE mill was
as he first stated, entitled to los inches or a.
ny other defined aperture, no mechanic
would for moment hesitate to say that the
water should be tax en- from the head, and
Of this he should have informed himself be-
fore he volunteered his services publicly to
instruct the Committee in their duty.
