TO THE EDITOt OF THE TIIES. Sir,-Observing-4 your psper of yesterday. anaccouot of thelate firent Hammersmith, in which it is stated, that at the commence- ment of the fire there wss only " a small supply of water,' I trust to your known candoar and impartialitv to correct the error yota h=e been led into, in regard to the supply of water, by stating the fol- lowing facts-namely-that the turncock was caUed aboat fiveoncloeCk. by a person named tiaizier, to whom he imnmediately delvered his key, and in the course of ten or twelve minutes the turncbcl was at the plug, from which sufficient water flowed to supply several en., gines, although the Hammersmith engine v:s then the only cngine on the spot. I have further to observe, that the mains of the West AfIRdeffem Water Company are fully charged night and day; and therefore that awant of water cannever be fel in the district suppliedby then,f provided the turneock be called, which ie tOO freqiuently not thoagh-T of till the engines arrive.
