Mr.. Ejiitor-In your last paper observe
letter Of advice to the Watering Commit
tee, but as those gentlemen will doubtless have
enough to attend to without noticing the
wh,ms oil every theorist who chooses to push
forward his opinion, will undertake to in
form your correspondent @ that he is 1T
tie mistaken. He informs the Committee
that eve are entitled by the purchase to all
the water that can flow through certain
aperture, say 1o5 inches;" this, believe, is
not the fact--the power Of the mill is not dc
fined in that way, but if my information be
correct the mill is allowed a good and suth-
cient head of water for driving a stone of GER
tain dimensions, w..h the necessary ma
chinery for manufacturing -four. AS the case


is thus circumstanced, and the power OF the
mill thus defined, the Committee would not
be warrantable in taking the water until al
ter il had been expended on the wheel; and
as the pump will only have to lift the water
bv atmospheric pressure about four feet,
can see no serious difficulty in the case.
cannot see that it will make the machinery
much more complicated, or any more ex-
pensiye. If the water wheel cxert5 the
same power on the pump that it formerly
did on the mill stone, it is all the Committee
have any right to expect; and the quantity
of water furnished they must DC sa'lsaea
with, be it more or less.


As to the plan that has been adopted,
have no doubt the Committee have taken
the advice of those much better qualified to
iudee than / am, and perhaps as weli as
YOUR correspondent Q. himself I.
