A meet ing was held last night to take into 'consideration the propriety 'ofHbuild ing water works in the eity of Evans ville.

Horrall was:enosen Secrelarj''1 ' Mr- jingle, stated ihatHis, Honor, Mayor Baker, had a'plan for the con--struction of water works, and hoped he would make his plans known. ! Mr. Baker proceeded s to read a legislative enactment, giving to1 cities ptfwer to organize companies for the purpose of constructing water works, and defining the method of procedure. He said, the city peeded. water works, but it was not the duty of the city, in a corporate capacity, to build these works, or to have control of them in any sense, only as a stockholder; that an incorporated company should do the work. .' Mr. Ingle repeated that Mr. Baker had' suggested a plan that "Was prac ticable, and hoped that he would state it before the meeting. Mr. Baker proceeded to say that it had been suggested to use the canal as a reservoir ; tq erect engines at the mouth of. Pigeon creek, and pump water into the canal, keeping it well filled during the summer feawnThis could be doDe cheaply," and fully meet- the present demands or the city, and of individual manufacturers. But he was noi in favor of that except it was done with the express understanding that It should only be resorted to for thi&Bcasoto.J fif-;n--'Cl..r .1, . i . iJIri, Ingle, said, itha.V-.it had been stated that the cost of erecting tempo rary works, would not cost, to., exceed J to,OOU ,UUV torv the. , necessary engines, and temporary sbeding.

Mr. Lata, a practical j Civil Engineer, had stated that water- j works of a. sufficient capacity, to sup-; 6 y all the demands of the city, could e constructed for $200,000. He also J read from a report of Mr. Jeffrey an j The faetjthat out Banks sell at a less estimate showing that water-works i rate does not invalidate the principle, could be constructed in Covington, j! nor does it prove, as your correspond Ky., for $ 157;350.

He in-' the end those who hate been5 misled sisted that it could be done, and that I by its promises of special favor will the means could be raised.

Mr. Baker 'said that-if the jdiscuss ion waa to degenerate intoa mere navigation discussion, he would wash his hands of it, and have no more to do with it. He would favor no plan that did not contemplate .the ultimate building of permanent works. , After some further discussion by various persons, Mr. Chandler moved that a committee Of five be appointed by the chair, to draft articles of asso ciation for a Water-Works Company, with'a stock of- $150,000, with Instruc tions to make- provisions - for - supply ing, temporarily, the wants of the city by filling the canal.

Louisville Journal, : " Lay on McDuff," &c. ! . - . : v 'i Convmunicatetft Exchanger :r : Editors Journal 'y .'f j 'n A writer in yesterday's JourWAl states the following remarkable histo rical fact:' "It is well known , by all those who necessarily buy exchange, that, when there were but few engaged in selling;' the price ruled from 1 to 1 1 per cent. JNo one will care to deny, this; but the assumption that present lower rates are the result of greater competition, from an increased number . nt banks, will hardly deceive those who necessarily buy ; exchange." It will occur at once to eyery one with average intelligence that when ex phatfgpVaribtrTo.e - nr Currency ias differentr-sheihg State bank notes and could not be used at par ' everywhere? as-are the U.' S Treasury rioter and 1 National Bank notes, the present currency of the" country: ' It is: true " that rates miAt' by putting under competitiori,. had . it existed, have - - been' at times reduced. 1 - apprehend, how ever, that when we had to'ship gold to navi-uuj' uiuHucs,'. .iiiau. .iuwh taicp iu. - i a e v i u than were then charged for .Exchange would have. 1 proved - a too unwise policy for even the most progressive jankers. "NbV-that we have a cur rency that is at par east and west, the price of Exchange is naturally lower, and under, ordinary circumstances cannot exceecLlthe . cost of shipping currency. When the supply is abund ant a less rate'eah often; be afforded 4he law of supply and demand, in conheetion with the uses - for money at home, governing the value. It is presumed that the writer of your. money articles understands this sub- ject; hence the charge that he would, if he could, put Exchange. at a much highet figure, does, not . amount ito much. Doubtless, now that Exchange is scarce, he would consider the .cost of expressing currency as , not too much to charge : for it. : And, as a matter.of P?ffit',a lower: rate, -under the circumstances, cannot be justified. driving competition, of, the times, there L , j is much to be deprecated in the qx1- ; Amusements. ; i I New Metropolitan.1 The attend ! ance at the' theatre last night was I Jarge, and all were delighted with the magnificent attractions..
