(Loud obeers ) In contusion, be proposed the “+ Hioalth of uno Ten Governors.” ‘ ov. \CKNEY respon le was happy to meet the Richmena Grays yj tus feative occasion, and proud, as « representative of tre Board of Ten Governors, to sbow them the public institutions of New York. He felt conf cent that, like Ceptain Dimmock, they bad all been con- vincea to day that there is somet in New York besides speculation and swinghng—that New Yorkers were not devoid of sympethy for the destitute and dietreaged. Governor O1iver spoke vext. It was bardly to be ex- Pecied, be thooght, that a modest mea like him— (Oh! ob !")—sbould attemptio make a speech; be «az always ready to help his bretber Pinckpey alot. It, bke bim, he bai been with them all over Randali’s Teland, pe: baps he might have go’ up steam enough for a Rpeech, cspecially as he was known as the talking man of the Board, capable cf taking apy side of any question, fe comphmented tae miltary both of the North and South, and took great rare lo welcoming them to tinckweli’s Irland. (Lang! Be trusted none of them would ever visit it under less favorable circumstances. Captain Neving wns then catied for, but the word to *\fail in” being given, the company pasecd outside. Bere there were loud on''s for Mayor Mayo, who mounted the veranda 201 spoke briefly, He would take an occe- 8 op bereafter to say ec mething to the good peopie of New ‘York and to the nobie Seventh regiment, bot ho would not now ferbear the expression of his gratification upon reeipg the Richmovd Grays and the eoth regiment mee: here. This was as it should be—the bayonets of Virginia gietening im the sunlight in New York—not in hostility, but in a fra ternal gpirit, So might New York and Virginia ever stand side by side, Bis hearty thaoks were due to the city authorities of New York for having made bim the guest of their magnificent city, not for bis own sake, he was ture, but for the sake of the city of Richmond, which he wes proud to represent. (Oheers.) ‘Msyor Tirmann was slgo called for, and made a short speech, heartily welcoming the Greys to New York, and trn:ting that thor visit would be mado sant. New York welcomed them not only om account of thelr kind treatment of the Seventh regiment, which regiment be cleimed to be a kind of speciatity of Ne York, but becavee they felt that such interchanges of g feeling between the different sections of the country tend- ed to rub ofthe angular poimts,and make things go on } smoothly and bermoniovusiy. Governor Pinkney, Alderman Adsms and other gentie- men made brief remarks, more hearty cheers were given, and the Grays and their cscort marchea on board the Hendrik Hudson. Here they stacked arma and prepared to enjoy themselves while the boat returned to tho city, and, sfier landing a few of the guests at the toot of Cedar street, proceeded oa a moonlignt excursion up the Hudson river. It wes proposed to extend the trip 8 far as West Point, and the companies had not returned when our paper went to pross. This eveuing they are to partake of a grand banquet at the Metropolitan Hotel.

MILITARY COUBTESTES. 10 THR EDITOR OF THE HERALD, New York, August 15, 1859. In an editorial under the above head i is noticed that a company of the Seventy-first regiment recently visited Montreal, where they were received with all the military honors, &c., by our British neighbors.

TRE FLAVOR OF THE CROTON WATER. TO JHB PDMON OF THE MKRALD, We have bad brought home to us very decided’y, with. im a few days, tho priceless valno of our Croton water During the last week it har been almost undrinkadle; its taste baa changed; the sediment is greater; after etand- ing some time \* ncquires ap actd smell, and tee flavor oa Bondoy, especially, was that of decayed vegetabie or ent mal substences. A good deal of anxiety has of course prong up among hovrekeepers in conseqrence of this fearful and sudden change in the character of the clear gpd crysta) fluid which enables them to perform their functions with 80 much comfort, supplies the batlerie de cuisine with ite great motive power, and carries health tbrovgb all our Gomicila with its pleatifal showers, [u- Seed, the mao of business bas been called to consider what migbt be the effect of a charge in the character of the Croton if it sbould not recover {ts purity and former flavor, What would become of the city of New York sna ite business?

It would be in fer better character for some of the active bo pot sround the City Hall to orgarize a bureau on whiekey, und get ap pointed commissioners of that. We doubt if the con stituents of ome of there patriots bave any acquain'ance w water or bave the slightest tatereat in ject, however, too important to ba . is due to the people of the city of New York that the Oroton Water Department shania be an trusted only to the care of experienced, practical, acientitic and upright men. It is life er death to ug as it is well or fl) managed. and he who would convert it into a political macbine deserves the public exeoration. It should be a sacred trast leit in tho custody of good men alone, To be fon slp of the Croton water would be ruin to the city; to lose the use of it for forty eight hours would cause the greatest rvffering and leave us exposed to the most tre- mendous losses. Wo do not want poliicians to be our goardiens under such responsibilities, We have board it from good authority that on one occssion when some im- portant repalrs became suddenly necoarary on the work, end that before they were finished there was (unknown to the citizens, however.) but a (wo bours eupply in the reservoira, the it of the Board—to whom from first to last we are chiefiy if no} entirely Indobted for our Pprerent admirabse system—was in a state of the highest mental hey ope } these critical moments, never slambered or slept, and never left the ground himself till ft on Be ‘wer over.
