He w::fient.ood to say that the total amount spent on the water works up to last month was $872,141 96 ; they had a balance to their credit in the bank of $19,573 72; the total cost of construction‘ would be $891,000, and this for the best system of water works in the Dominion, end which bad been admired by some .of the best engineers in the world. The sxpense of working| them was but small ; there was only two men on duty at the wheels in the day‘ time, and the same number at night.

El so A large meeting of the electors of By Ward was held last night, in the Union Hal}, on the comer of York and William streats, for the purpose of hearing what the retiring Water Commissioners and what the candidates for the office during the remainder of the time that body was to exiat, had to say. ho Dr. Beaupis® was proceeding with his remarks, and to state ttiat by next sumâ€" wer there would be two hundred and sey.ntyâ€"tive hydrants in the city (Laughter.) [ Some more ‘interruption here took place, and Dr. Beaubien said if one man in the audience diin‘t "shut up," he would. Mr. Masmx Bartts said although he had not a vote in By Ward, he thought it was but common justice to Dr. Beaubien to allow him to finish his remarks before any questions were put to him. Dr. Brarsigx was voted to the chair,;| and said that he knew not who called the | meeting, but as he had heard that some | charges were made against the Commis:| wioneis, he should be glad to hear what those charges were, and he asked any yontleman who had anything to bring forâ€" | ward in that respect, to speak. â€" i Mr. Craxey said, he did not know who had called the meeting, unless it was| some one who was opposed to Mr. Coffey : â€"he thought that the Commissioners had not always acted with that sense of good management which should have, characterized them. However, it was too . In‘e to remedy that in the short tims the : Water Commission had to exist, and it would be futile to oppose the return . of Mi. Cotiey, He would prove to those: present that the water works had been grosely mismanaced. â€" He read from the: fevarts of the Engineers in 18069. Mr. Kceler‘s estimate of the cost of the woriks was for laying 244 miles of pipe, $250, 000. in 1871 Mr. Perry mado an estimate for the same work of $450,000. Then Lhere was an esum&wn:'ru;: & Ms. D.

Je blamed them for nut consulting the dexen in iron as to the price of it before they commenced. Did it look honest on the part of the Commissjoners to conduct their delibera tions in grinto, excluding the rntopageu and public press? (No, no!) There must haye been something to hide or‘ they would have made their proceedings public. (Hear, hear.) He would not touoch the Water Works Commission with a forty rod pole, and if_he was elected he would not serve, |sooner paying a tine first: it made 110 difference to him. whether the office) was to be a paid one or not, and he hag heard that such was likely to be the chse. He was opposed to that most t)ositrvely. As to abolishing the Board that would not be done so long as the present corporation remained in ollice, to get at the root of the evil they would hbave to elect in new corporation,. (lHear, hear.) The Commissioners had in several instances acled in a most arbit rary mapner towards poor people by forcing . them _ to _ pay _ for a _ supply â€" of â€" water _ which they had not the means to procure, beciuse of the want of money to provide| the pipes leading into the houses. He blamed the Corporation for not exercising the power they had to petition the Legislature for the smendment of the Water Works Act, but so long as the present rporation remained in office that could noét g:rdoue. (Applause.) | [ The Obstreperous Voterâ€"The divil a shut up I‘ll shut up it yesz talk for twinty weeks. I‘ve as good a vote in this Ward as you have ! The Crmamsax said he did not agree with Mr. Battle ; he thought all queries relevant to the matter under discussion could be put at any time. _ § Loud cries> were made for Mr. Coftey, but that gentleman said he | wanted a little breathing time. ‘He suggested that Dr. Beaubien shoul speak tirst A voiceâ€"Where‘s the man who called the meeting. | | The Cuaigmaxâ€"â€"â€" l should like to see him come forward, also to heq" what Le has to say ? (Hear, hear.) No one responded to the invi{ntion. Dr. Buaveizn then rose, and {recounted the history of their â€"inception to the preâ€" sent time ; he denied the charges brouglt by Mr. Clancy of extravagance jand misâ€" management en the part of the Coinâ€" missivuets ; if they had any , doubt on that subject they could |see the books.

Dr. Bsavrisxâ€"They never were ex cluded. lhe members of the press present stated that tosy on several occasions had applied for admission to the méetings of the Board, and they had been refused. ne gentleman said that th:%oontary had told him that there was & resolution to that effect.

L s A vote of thanks to the Chairman brought . to a close one of the noisest moetings ever held in the city. Mr. J. F. Rowax said that the meeting was called for the purpose of nominating some person better fitted to look after the interests of the Ward than Mr. Coffey had done in the past; not that he had anything particularly to complain of in the conduct of Mr. Coffey, but still he thought a change was necessary to the welfare of the Ward (hear, hear) and the sooner one took place ‘the better.â€" !Ho urged that the lower section of the Ward if its interests were to be consulted should elect Mr. Lyons, as there were many imâ€" provements required to be effected,. and as he was a practical contractor he would be the be:t calculated to know thcir waunts. (Hear, hear.) i There was a very large attendance at the rooms of the above Society last night to hear the third lecture of the course by Prof, W. R. Riddell, B.A., Mathmatical Master of the Normal School. The learned lecturer has been so pressed for time through his ordinary daily duties and the extra work of preparing for press a work on Trignometry, for use in the public schools, that he felt he c uld not do his subject the justice he would like. The subject chosen was " The siuff that dreams are made of," and about forty minutes were occupied â€"in its delivery. The lecture was listened to throughout with intense interest, and at its close was greeted with loud n&plaule. the followâ€" ing is a synopsis of the pager read : Tne lecturer began by saying that his lecture having been orignnlly undertaken _ with a> ve different object in view, might, there?'ore, contain some things not perfectly adapted to the grslsenlt audience, but he utx‘txoipnted no ifficulty in making himself thoroughly understood, and trusted that his remarks might not be entirely useless in holdin up one or two phases of this many ndoi hearing, he retired from the platform Mr. Craxoy wanted to know how it was the proceedings of the Board . had not been published in French and English as the Act demanded ? . 2oL Dr. Beausigyâ€"Exâ€"Mayor Martineau could tell you that ! At this juncture of the proceedings Mr. Coffey tried to read a statement from a aper which he held in his hand, when & f(r. R. Hilliard requested to look st it He did examino it, and fina‘ly pronounced it was past the understarding of a Philaâ€" delphia lawyer to make it out. Mr. Corsay bere remarked he would say no more, when an old gentleman in the boly of the hali acoused him of having a share in one of the contracts for the construction of the works. â€" Mr. Cofley waxed exceeding wroth at this, and a lively wordy wwiare occurred. Mr. C. linally sat down, alter likening his ac suser to a pretty, but unpleasant smeliing little Comimissio» water works instances They might the Board, 1 was the imai Messrs. Corrsy and Wa. Kenos were also proposed amid all sorts of noise and confusion. qua Mr. Lroxs then stepped forward and said that he was proud oi the position he held as the nominee of that influential meeting, and he was fully determined to test the contfidence of the Ward in Mr. Colley as their representative at this Board of Water ‘Commission _ (Hear, hear.) Whatever stake he had in the city lay in that Ward, aud it woulid be both to the interest of nimself and the residents of that section of Ottawa, to contribute to its improyement and pross perity. He did not imagine that his abilities were superior to those of Mr. Coffey, still his previous knowledze as m oontrnc’t:)r, fwould be used in ths beâ€"t interests oi the c.iy in genetal at the Board, if they chme t> elect him, always having in view the weliare of By Ward. He thought it was necessary that a deâ€" tailed report of the proceedings of the the Boanfo should be made public; that the meetinga should be held with open doors, and that all the privileges hitherto denied the members of the press, should be granted them. (Hear, hear.) â€"Mrâ€"Tursrox then made a long oration, during which he said he did not thick the Comimissioners knew anything about the water works, and they had failed in many instances for want of that knowledge. They might understand the business of the Bowrd, but it was the Engineer who was the iman at the helm. _ The tenor of his remarks was to the"effect that money liad been wasted, and that the pipes had been laid in such a manner as to interfore with tho drainage of the city. . He wanted to hknow what the water rate was levied tor, i‘ is was included in thejestimate of A‘l,. Waller, as to the meeting of the deâ€" Mr. TurGBoXN in some further remarks luggahod that in future the water works matters could be managed by five members of the City Council, and money s:ved to the ratevayers by that means. Ho could see no reason for the two bodies being separate. _ bent Dr. Buavsisx said the Commissioners were not respounsible for what Mr. Waller did. They hal nothing to do with the Corporation. They were a distinct body, and were themselves responsille for the mouney borrowed for water works purâ€" poses. _‘ _ _ o _ Dr. Beavsizxâ€"I said no such thing. You oughtn‘t to distort my words in that way. _ â€" e . you were only a Committee of the Corâ€" poration |~ Ds u. Mr. Cr&Nov said that no person could get the reportwsof the Water Commission as he had applied both to the Secretary and also to t.{;e City Council, but had only be>n able ‘to obtain & portion of thom. With regard to the rise in the price of the iron, if the Commissioners had delayed the work until the price fell, the citizens would hbave backed them up in their course. He again passed some severe censures tipon the Commissioners for conducting their deliberations with closed doors. After some further stormy pro ceedings, . . h $ subject. Whilo many of the ideas, and the manner of pmont::‘gi most of the points were original, he no hesitation in availing himself of the labours of Koiâ€" liker, Baine, Carpenter, Draper, Hamilton, Porter, and other physiologists and metaâ€" physicians, and â€"to coin a wordâ€"psycho. physiologists. Dreaming is a phenomenon wh‘ch is common to all the human family, without distinoction of sex, colour, or nation,. At overy period of life, oxoopa porhaps, that of extreme infancy, an under all ciroumstances, dreaming is almost as commonly found as is lleep. At first sight the " baseless fabric of a vision‘‘ seems to offer nothing of interest in a scientific point of view, but a closer observaticn will reveal what serious ques : tions are involved in a proper explanation of the subject. To account for dreams, we must account for sleep; to account porfectly for sleep, we muist account for andexplain the wondrous connection beâ€" tween mind and body, the immmaterial and the material, the immortel and 30 ephes meral. .

Hunger is an outery of { the whole system for food, the immediate causo of tha sensation being the condi: tion of the stomach ; sleep is an ouwry( of the nervous system for rest, manifested shiefly by the brain. And as we look to ; the stomach for the immediate physical cause of hunger, wa look to the brain for that of sleep : Many theories have been | advanced on this pointâ€"some of which, as the "nervous fluid theory," "the depleâ€" tion theory," “xhe congestion theory," were remarked &n. The dependence, to & great extent, of the mind upon the con dition of the blood, and therefore of the body, as evidenced in the preliminaty symptoms of ur:=emia, malarial fevers, &¢., was dwelt on at some length, the error of some phrenologists, in taking the external slhape of the ekull, as a criterion of the shape and size of the brain, being ‘lg‘hnced at in passing. Having shown the marâ€" vellous power of memory in storing up every event, and the tendency of other facultios in referring impresâ€" sions received to a cause. which had previously produced similar aensa-‘ tions unless there were some obvious rea~ son against it, the lecturer took up the case of a perso1 sleeping, his brain perâ€" forming no function save that of orgazic life. let some external impul:e come upon hinmâ€"the sound of & blast of wind for exampleâ€"the vibration of the air is transmitted to the delicate fibrils of the auditory nerve, the whole nerve rapidly partakes in the disturbance which at last | reaches the brain, ‘The small quantity of blood cannot suffice for distruct thought« a dim idea is formed soon to be obliterâ€" ated, leaving practically not a trace beâ€" hind.

The sailor hears the wind whistling through the shrouds of his vessel; the hunter "the forest mineral, the murmuring pines and the hemlock; the soldier rests again on the ground affer a hard fought strueg(fle, and hears the moans of his wounded comrades burdening the wings of the gentle night wind. But ever anon will come other external im« gulaes, and s2 l;m;urevent most dreams from ecoming anythingâ€" else than an inconâ€" gruous mixture, though examples to the contrary are by no mea~rs rare ; examples of whiof; are â€"seen in the case of sane mathematicians who have left on record that during sleep they have solved probâ€" leins which perplexed and overcame their waking powers ; and of Coleridge, who composed his gorgeous and strange fragment "Kubla Khan" during a sumâ€" mer‘s dream. In dreams we never feel surprised, nor do we doubt the accuracy of our ideas, and frequently, too, is noâ€" ticed thit peculiar rapidity of mental action which is also seen in cases of extieme and immiaent danger. Most peoâ€" ple beliove that we are never donscious that we are dreaming ; this the lecturer cast some doubt upon thoufh he belisved the contrary was true only "in the mood ‘twixt sleep and waking." As to the time when dreams occur there is much difference of opimon. ufitr William Hamâ€" ilton aud Dr. Noah Porter, being‘ quoted in support of the opiniou that we always dream when we are asleep. The lecturer believed that Sir William Hamilton‘s argumen‘s for this view were very inconâ€" clusive and can rewdily jbe explained by known phenomena o{ imgutal action withâ€" vat ca‘ling into requisitian the hypothesis of the constant simuitangity of sleep and dreaming. His own belief agreed with that of Baine who though he does not say so in so many words,| implicitly states that during sleep the mind is in such a condition as to be feebly occupied with oneâ€"almost inaneâ€"ideq and it is the disturbance of this | which _ causes dreaming Homer d _ Virgil | as well as the Holy riptures were quoted to shxw the opinion entertained by the ancients concerning the phenoâ€" m non under consideration and esteom in which successful interpreters of dreams were held, and after speaking at some length oi the dreams and visions of herâ€" mits and others, including Luther and Bunyan, the lecture concluded with a brief glance at the connection between dreaming and the lower forms ot religion, on which point Sir John Lubbock aud Dr. D. Wilson were quoted. .
