The Report of the Commissioners (Dr. ROGILT, and Messrs; BRANDs inct.TzurottO. appointed lo inquire into the state of-the Supply of Weer in the Metropolis, has been printed by order of the House of Commons. It appears that the quantity of !water. required for the daily supply of the. inhabitants of the metropolis, and for the use of the. various manufactories requiring, it, amount to about' 29,000,000 gallons,' or 4,650,000 g lons cubic feet ; the greater portion of which •is derived . from the Thames. The Report awes, s , that the present state of the supply of water in the ,Metropolis is swops': rible of. And requires isuproyement ; that many, of the complaints respecting the quality of the water are *ell founded. and that it ought' to be derived frOm other sourcef thtn those now resorted to,- and guarded by ' such restrictions - as:shun .tinses•ensurs its ckaalii- ness and purity." With.respect v the Thames water. the Report states, that specimens taken (iom various Hestia the rives from wheteirdie ii.pply is talta;s. had been pht into the bands of Dr. 130-tuck, an eminent chests*, -for the purpose of ezamihatinn.end the fol lowing is an extract frorn the Report he presented on die sabject: • .41 % eS It appears that the water of the Thames, when lies from extraneous substances. is in a state of con iderab r e purity, containing only a moderate quantity bf saline contents, and those of a kind Which cannot be sopposed to render-it unfit for domestic purposes u er to be inju rious to the health.- Bet as. it approaches the metropolis it becomes loaded wish a quantity of filth. which ren ders it disgusting to the senses, and improper to he em ployed in the preparation of food: The greatest part of this additional matter appears to be only mechanically sospended in it, and separates 4y mere rest. It requi.e., however, a considerable length of time to. allow of a complete separation, while, on account of its peculiar texture and comminuted state, it is disposed to he again diffused through the water by a slight degree of agna: Lion, shilethe gradual accumulation of this matter la the reservoirs must obviously increase the unpleasant odour and flavour of the water. and promote its ten dency to the putrid state." 4 . Regarding the greatest part of the water in the Thames, as mechanically mixed in it, we may intice ye that a vsriety of incidental circumstances will. affect its quantity, in the same situation and ender the same eie-, cunsstances of the tide; but the observaticas are sutfi- ciently uniform to warrant us in concluding. that the water is in the purest state at lots t•de,and most boded with extraneous matter at half ebb. It vet uld appear. howeter, that a very considerable portion, if not the whole of this extraneous matter; may be removed •by filtration. through sand, sad still erne effectually: by charcoal and sand." The Commissioners,,,howevel, say that they consider that the most perfect system of RI. tering can effect only a partial purification. It is stated that the Thames water. in what is called the London district, has suffered a gradual deterirrosion within the last ten or twelve years, to such an.estent as 'to have almost destroyed the fishermen's trade between Puuiey Budge and Greenwich. The Commissioners add, that 64 it is obvious that water receiving so large a proportion of foreign matters as we know find the , e woy Into the "lhantes t and so far impure as to destroy fish. cannot, even when elm ified by filtration, be pronounced entirely free from the suspicion of general insalubrity. In reference also to this question, we apprehend. that there are no grounds for assuming the probability of any improvement in the state of the water drawn from the London district of the river." . Water taken from the London Dacks bad been ex amined, and it did not contain the least quantity of copper. The Report says, the New River water is not open to the same objectionable impregnations as that of the Thames, but is susceptible of great improve- ment. It recommends the putting a stop to the draining the siej iceut lands. into the New River, and also the preventing persons bathing. It adds, " Great benefit would result if the inducement to batty in the New River were superseded by the establishment of baths in the neighbourhood of the Metropolis, to which the public might, under attain regulations, be allowed ac cess." It has been stated in evidence, that the New River Company have ♦oluntarily offered to furnish sufficifin supplies of water for a parprose of such maul. fest utility. The Report does not enter into the eumination of any practical scheme for a general oil better supply of Waft, W the Metropolis. .
