LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1858. The telegram from India, received at the Foreign-office, at 4.45 p.m. yesterday, and which shortly afterwards . appeared in the third edition of The Sun, is of a very satisfactory character. The treachery practised by &INDIA'S troops was promptly and severely expiated, The rumour referred to in our impression of Monday, that Gwalior " had been recaptured, with terrible loss to the enemy," is fully and completely verified. It appears that the gallant Sir HUGH ROSE, to whom the mantle of a HAVALOCK seems to have descended, captured it on the 20th of June, another report says the 19th, after a severe fight of four hours. &Dna, himself, had left Agra on the 13th June to join the Central India field force, on its way to Gwalior. It is, therefore, more than probable that he participated in the triumph over his rebellious troops. The cavalry and artillery were in active pursuit of the flying traitors ; and it is more than probable that they must have sustained terrible loss in the con flict and the wild panic by which it was succeeded. It is reported that the Ranee of Jhansi is amongst the killed. This female fiend treated English women even worse than the arch-demon NANA S-4-1112 himself. It was not sufficient to satisfy her brutality that the victims should be put to even painful and linger ing deaths, but they should first be disgraced and polluted. It might be thought that a female, however cruel, could not be guilty of such bra talitY• - It is, however, but another illustration of the adage, that a woman who has abandoned every gentle feeling, and given herself altogether up to vice, will perpetrate atrocities at which the most atrocious miscreants of the sterner sex would be horrified. It is to be regretted that she was not taken alive, in order that a great act of justice might be exhibited. Gwalior was a strong _ position. The rebels must have been intimidated as much by the in justice of their cause as by the prestige attached to the British name when they lost such a fortress after four hours' fighting. There was also some thing in the presence of their lawful Sovereign, the man whose pay . and bounty the mutineers had long enjoyed, and who, so lately deserted and betrayed by those in whom be had placed im plicit reliance, must have appeared as " the avenger of blood" before them. But nothing can diminish the claims of Sir H. ROSE to the national gratitude. He proved himself fully equal to the occasion. Although his gallant fol lowers had been completely wore out and ex hausted by the toils they had already encountered —although they had heard the glad tidings of a brief rest after their arduous labours they promptly, aye, joyously responded to the call of duty, and dashed against the enemy with that in defatigable zeal which is the great characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon race. Nor were they contented with capturing the stronghold of the enemy, but the cavalry and artillery were in active pursuit of the fugitives. All this, be it remembered, was accomplished under a tropical sun, during the hottest season that has been remembered for a series of years. We also hear that Oudo is still disturbed. It eould scarcely have been anticipated that complete tranquillity would yet be restored in that hotbed of rebellion, but all is quiet in Rohilcund. The news 1, therefore, in every respect, not only as good, but far better than could have been expected. In China We have again taken active proceed ings. The gunboats of the allied squadron at backed the forts at the mouth of the Peiho, mounting 138 guns, and backed by a large body of troops. As usual, our operations were attended THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY E V ENING, with complete success, and the forts were captured with comparatively trifling loss on our side. The Chinese, it is said, " stood to their guns very fairly," which greatly enhances the triumph so nobly achieved. Oa the 22d May the force had commenced advancing up the river, the weather being cool and the squadron in excellent spirits. it was announced that 6,000 French troops, ori ginally destined for Cochin-China, where they were about to exact vengeance for the murder of some French missionaries, were on their way to the Gulf of Pechelee. We fear, however, that the news is too good to be true, and that 600 Fill be found nearer the mark than 6,000. At Canton there was an unsuccessful attempt to rout some " braves" (1) who had established themselves the mountains. It will be necessary to await the details before any definite opinion can be formed respecting the operation. Ning Poo is in the possession of the rebels, and the English merchants are on board her MAJESTY'S ship Surprise. This, however, may not be in any degree injurious to British interests. The intelligence, on the whole, is very satisfac tory, although we must await more precise parti lars respecting the affray in the neighbourhood of Canton before it can be deemed entirely so. Nothing could be more completely satisfactory than the answer of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, in reference to the state of the public revenue, in answer to the captious challenge of Sir G. C. LEWIS. The ex-reviewer attempted to show that the Right Hon. Gentleman had been mistaken in his facts and figures, and also that the task he had before him was not so difficult as might have been supposed, considering that the Exchequer Bonds were not to be renewed, and the 1,500,0001. sinking fund abolished. He was manifestly jealous at the fame of one who had so completely cast his own pretensions into the shade. He endeavoured therefore to show that the estimates were exceeded, and that certain unappropriated balances were made available. Although there could be no doubt as to the animus with which these matters were brought forward, we feel obliged to Sir G. C. LEWIS for eliciting so triumphant and satisfactory an answer from the Financial Minister. He was indeed like TROILUS in the hands of P.ELIDES--. " Infelix puer atque impar congressus Achidli." As our Transatlantic brethren would say, " poor Corny was most catawampously thawed up, in leas than no time." Mr. DISRAELI admitted that the estimates were slightly exceeded, but have we not had third, aye even fourth Whig budgets within the same year, and when has it occurred, that at the expiration of a quarter of a year or more, the expenditure has been found exactly that which was calculated on in the financial statement? Sir G. C. LEWIS should have been the list to fling stones, considering the fragile nature of the crystal mansions dwelt in by Whig financiers. But if the estimates were slightly exceeded—and the existing state of affairs, combined with the circumstances that have occurred since the open ing of the Budget, would have justified a far greater discrepancy—it is satisfactory to know that the revenue, up to the present time, has also exceeded the estimate ; and that, if Mr. DISRAELI were, according to Whig practice, to bring forward even a second Budget, he would take it at a much higher figure than he then adopted. The revenue during the first quarter has been 223,0001. more than he had calculated on. But this by no means shows the extent of the improvement. The in crease on the first 18 days of the present quarter, on the four great branches of revenue, as compared with the receipts during the corresponding period last year, is no less than 3G4,000/. So far, then, from there being a probable deficiency, as Sir G. C. LEWIS attempted to imply, it is probable that it may not be necessary to renew 1,000,0001. of the Exchequer-bonds, the non payment whereof so greatly annoyed Sir G. C. lams- Everything now looks well. The prospects of peace are far greater than they were six months since. The temperate but firm con duct of Foreign Affairs, in which bullying and truckling are alike eschewed, has raised the national character abroad ; while the judicious administration of the finances has promoted domes tic prosperity. The explanations given by Mr. DISRAELI will give unqualified satisfaction to every person interested in the welfare of the people. However the long-vexed Question of the Main Drainage of London may be ultimately settled there can be very little doubt of it, that we have already arrived at the beginning of the end of that extremely foolish and disgusting system hap pily designated by a writer in household Words— " Dirty Cleanliness." The nuisance has grown to be one so utterly and irredeemably monstrous that we have all agreed to get rid of it, literally, "at any cost," and, also literally, nemine contradicente. Parliament will be glad to pass any measures-giv ing the two Houses a reasonable hope of cleansing so obnoxious a neighbour. The Government have frankly pledged themselves to " their" part in the Herculean, Augean, Stygian task of purification. The Select Committee-men have seated themselves heroically upon the brink of the infected flood, stopping their noses with scented handkerchiefs, and only occasionally taking flight from the scene of their martyrdom when driven from it perforce by some prenaturally odious whiff of the tainted atmosphere. They have cautiously examined their witnesses one by one, scientific and non-scientific. They have drawn up their report, and laid it be fore Mr. Speaker. Authorities are vouchsafed to Mr, Tn'wAITES and his associates that they never dream of, even in moments to them the most auspicious. There is, evidently, on all hands, no lack of willingness to do what has obviously become to every one absolutely requisite. Namely, to cleanse that natu rally beautiful, but at tificially abominable river, The Teal:Lica :—no Unger a stream that can be called, even metaphorically, what it actually was once, viz., The Silent Highway—a ludicrous misnomer nowadays, now that the whole current, from Battersea downwards to the Channel, abso lutely Smells Aloud ! But, How is the work to be accomplished ? That still remains—like much of the contamina tion of the Thames—a problem for solution. How—" that is the question." By embankments on the Surrey side and the Middlesex, affording the probability of a good " scour" at the ebb tide ? By systematic deodorization ? By a careful sepa ration of the solid and liquid portions of the sewage ? By the wholesale conveyance of that sewage, through a subterranean channel, from the direction of the river far away to the coast line— beyond the chance of detriment to the metropolis either through accumulations or exhalations? By constructing a grand ship canal, as proposed by Admiral SARTORIIIS, from a part of the coast midway between Portsmouth and Southampton, so as to ensure a more thorough scour of the stream than could possibly result from the mere formation of artificial gravel embankments ? The choice presented is certainly ample enough. One thing or the other must be done. Why not adventure upon several of these simultaneously ? 1u this wise ;—let us direct the flow of the sewage altogether from the Thames into an unseen channel, a subter ranean cloaca maxima—let us at the same time beautify the capital and improve the river by the construction of these long-talked-if embankments —let us yet more derive all the advantages certain to acrue from it when completed, from the forma tion of the ship canal already particularised. As things are at present, it is worse than sinaply ridiculous to talk of adorning the capital of the British Empire—so long, that is to say, as its teeming population continues to be bisected by a monstrous open sewer washing backwards and forwards with the tide under bridges, than which the rest of the great cities of the world p 033033 none more eminently noble and beautiful. Pro perly arranged, there is positively no relson whr‘t ever why the water of the Thames should not be as pellucid and translucent at Hungerford or at Billingsgate, than at Mortlake and Twickenham. ; With our engineering skill, our energy as a people, our wealth as a trading community, and our apti tude for combination and organisation, the • Thames may, in two or three years, be cleansed • thoroughly and permanently. Let us do it— f (lost what it may-3,000,000/.-5,000,000/. ' nay, if it be requisite, 10,000,0001. ! We would call the attention of Lord STANLEY to the facts detailed in a paper we extract from the Friend of India, of the 33 of June, on the sale of gills of seven years of age, confessedly for the purpose of prostitution. Of the fact, and of the nefarious intentions of the parties, there is not a shadow of doubt. The evidence is the docu ments of sale registered in the Company's Courts, and the candid confessions of the guilty parties, who, it appears, almost assume the air of injured innocence, so regular and legal do they consider the practice to be. Indeed there seems to be ac tually some doubt whether the law may not be in favour of these wretches; and whether it may not be found that the " Old Regulations" do not by implication legalise domestic slavery. They prohibit only the " hawking of slaves for sale," and their "exportation," which seems, certainly, to imply the lawfulness of sale at home and otherwise than by hawking them. An Act of 1843, "orders that slavery be ignored, and that it be no plea in a court of justice, but it does not render it a penal act." The Mahommedan law, indeed, which, it appears, must be resorted to in this case, explicitly prohibits the sale of free born children ; but, the officer accused contends that it is no sale, but a lease for ninety years, which ho has registered, and such the deeds regis- tered in our courts are, in point of form, although the consideration for the lease of ninety years of a girl seven years old is about five-and-twenty shillings paid in cash. M. REGIS, the Governor- General of Caba, and itmerican slaveholders would doubtless be well satisfied with such leases. The terms of one lease are given. They will astonish all Englishmen ; and the astonishment will hardly be less that such leases should have been numerously registered in our courts, for the last twenty years at least, without the know:edge of English judges or officials. A father, a Mahommedan, named CHUND, " agrees to farm out his daughter to a brothel-keeper, named Musstatur AMEERUN, for ninety years, in consideration of Rs. 12-8, received in cash ;" she may exact any kind of service from the girl, for which she engages to keep her in food and clothing. And children born to her, male or female, are to be the lessee's property for ever. These are the particulars of a deed guaranteed by the stamp of the East India Company, and enforced by its omnipotency 1 A deed which, as the Editor of the Friend of India truly observes, would " in any European country bring the contracting parties in danger of Lynch Law." Mr. TOOGOOD, the magistrate, who made the discovery, is exerting himsel ! with the utmost zeal in this disgraceful business, but so wedded to technicality is the Civil Service of India, that he may be defeated in point of law. [t is therefore every way desirable that the Home Government should at once and authoritatively interfere. The Editor of the Friend of India wants " ten words in Parliament." He is right enough. Neither the old Directors nor the new Council would dare refuse for a moment to promise immediate action ; but we are confident that Lord STANLEY, if appealed to, will engage to use the full powozs conferred on him by the old Act or the ❑ew one to put down the horrible slavery now brought to light. It is •as bad as anything in American slavery in regard to the poor girls ; in regard to the fathers worse. Of that, however, on second thoughts, we are by no means sure. There must be innumerable daughters sold by American fathers for the same brutal purpose ; not the less their daughters because they hold their mothers as property, and because they are a shade darker in complexion than themselves.

FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. A Paris correspondent of the Nord writes :—" I acquainted you in a previous letter with the elec toral law prepared for the Principalities; I am now able to give you details on the subject. There will be two degrees of electors ; the highest must possess a landed or funded fortune of 1,000 ducats ; and the other 100 ducats. Candidates must prove their possession of a fortune of 6,000 ducats. The archimandrites will enjoy the right of presiding over the electoral committees ; the vice presidents b 3 subject to election. Among the important questions which remain to be solved by the Con ference is that of the guarantee by the great powers of the new organisation of the Prnicipalities. Fund Pacha, on his side, insists on the rights of suze rainty of the Porte being likewise guaranteed." Marshal Canrobert, on arriving lately at the camp of Chalons, as stated, addressed the following order of the day to the troops : " Soldiers,—ln assembling us in this camp, the Emperor is desirous that we should continue the useful works at which he presided himself last year. We will endeavour to carry out his inten tions ; we will each in our sphere develope mili tary instruction and education ; and the troops of each arm, after having laboriously acquired the special science appropriate to it, and becoming well accpiaintrd with thq patticriblr part whi3'i they would leave to-perterin in war, wilt learn in those extensive plains how, when assembled, they mutu ally support each other, and co-operate by their combinations in their general action in marches, combats, and battles.

NAPLES. The Neapolitan Government, which is usually very sparing of its diplomatic publications, has adopted another course in the affair of the Cagliari. It has despatched a document to the various European legations containing the English text and Italian translation of the opinions given by the English crown lawyers, with comments and refuta tions.. Seven of these opinions proceed from the Palmerston Cabinet, and three from that of Lord Derby. The document seeks to confute tho argu ments employed by the Attorney- General, Sir Fitz roy Kelly, who maintained the illegality of the capture of the Cagliari. The document also tries to maintain the legality of the refusal given to the application of the English engineers to confer with their consul. J ULY 23, 1` 58. spATN.

THE HUDSON'S BAY TERRI TORY. IGNORANCE OF MEN IN OFFICE. The debate in the House of Commons on Mr. Roebuck's motion as to the Hudson's Bay Com pany brought out very contradictory statements of the country between Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains, which may be called the basin of Lake Winnipeg and its tributaries, all the speakers eulo gising its fertility, rivers, mines, woods, prairies, and capabilities for supporting man, when, lo and behold, up starts Mr. RoberrLowe, who described the region in question as being frozen ground and inaccessible, Mr. Fortescue supporting his state ment. One would think that a person once holding high office, and look , : d upon as a business adviser by the late Government, should have some knowledge. Whether Mr. Lowe and the others were the right persons in the right places appears now very ques tionable. Had either of those gentlemen acquainted them "selves with the facts from books, they would find the country in its natural state of prairie and forest superior to Prussia and Northern Germany, with as good a clima.e and equal to lowa and Minna sotto, with a natural navigation second only to the Mississippi. Instead of applying to Sir John Richardson as the " Bradshaw ' of that region, if the right hon. gentleman had only gone to the obligino , secretary of the Grand Trunk Railway in Broad-street, Sir Cusack Roney would be happy to book him as first and second, or emigrant passenger from London to Collingwood in 14 days, whence the Canadian mail steamer would bring him to Fort William in three days more, and thence .by a.road now making by th e Canadian Government, which will be travelled over in eight days, or to Detroit, whence there are al most daily steamers for all ports on Lake Superior ; and in the winter to St. Paul in sixteen days, whence they can sleigh to the Red River in eight or ten more. In the dap of Sir John R:chardson there were no s' eamboats on the lakes or railroads in Canada or the United States, but rail and steam now bring the Hudson's Bay territory, de facto, nearer to us than Montreal was forty years ago. It is odd to find the member for Kidderminster, returned on free-►rade prineiplm advocr t'r g ;Lo poly ; this is a matter between him and his consti tuents ; but to find the Times doing so is passing strange, its leader on the 10th on this subject hav ing drawn out counter ones in the daily and even ing as well as most of the weekly press. The triumphant na , jority against Mr. Hutt's motion suppored by that piper, as well as the almost unanimous verdict of the house on Mr. Roebuck's resolution, show that on the great ques tions of slavery and monopoly advocated by it, the Times is not the exponent, but the opponen', of British opinion. The company do use the Hudson's Bay route to the Red River as described by Sir John Richard son, instead of the right road by Lake Superior. Our readers will not forget how the Rifles, with their wives and children, were sent last year from Toronto, at the suggestion of Sir George Simpson, a roun - 1 of 3,000 miles through this icy sea, at the risk of their liven, taking 12J days to the Red River, when at the same time chief-trader Rowan went by the right route to it in 14, Mr. Clarke Ross returning from Red River to Fort William in 8. t 'Sir George did this to show the British public that there was no access to the country but by Hudson's Bay, the route so highly recommended by Mr. Lowe. The Colonial Secreta'y deserves great credit for his enlightened views on the colonisation of British America, as well as the honourab'e members who so ably proposed, supported, and spoke to the reso lutions, and the press, British and Canadian, wiii.Al with one or two ex,!eptions, to ably advocated the rights of civiliiation and humanity against one of the most illegal and despotic monopolie3 that ever existed, whose death-knell has been at last tolled. Hereafter her Majesty's subjects will be placed on an equality in British North Americ ), all priyilegeo being withdrawn.-- Morning Chionic/c, LEGAL INDIAN 01!PRESSIONS. (Extract from a Letter by an Indian Missionary.) Apropos to this subject is a case of fearful oppres- Sion which has recently come under my own cogni stnce. A certain zemindar, holding very extensive estates in the district south of Calcutta, has deter mined for some time past to raiseethe rent of lands held by people of three villages, who number about 150 families. To do this he has no legal right whatever —nay, the law expressly, in the case of these ryots, forbids his so doing, their lands hav ing come down to them from their ancestors. But the zemindar cares nothing for that part of the law, and sets to work systematically and steadily to effect his purposes. He, therefore, goes back ten years, and from that date charges the whole of these tenants rent on his own scale. He then carries to account the sums which he has received from each during that period, and then debit them with. the hal , nee and the k..o,atiiug upon it iLe_ndoug to his own scale. This, in most cases, will be a large sum. The people, of course, refuse to pay this alleged b a l ance . N ow hi s ac ti on begins. He goes with these balances to the Collector's Court, and obtains writs, first against the persons of his tenants, and then additional ones against their property. All this he can do from the practice of the Collector's Courts without the knowledge of the person sued. Thus armed, ho comes and demands. a new agreement, by which the amount of rent he wishes is to be secured in perpetuo. The people again refuse, when he produces his writs for the sale of their pro perty, and notifies au early day for it to take effect. The only help that now remains to the poor victim of this injustice is for him to come up to the col lector and pray an injunction of the sale—but the zemindar is before him, He has placed his police upon all the roads leading to Alipore, with direc tions to seize any of the villagers whom they may meet with travelling in that direction, and, should he catch the complainant, he gives him such a chastisement as wilt make him he itate ere he sets out again ; but if the poor man be fortunate enough to evade the police and reach the Collector's Court, then the writ which the zemindar has obtained against his person is served upon him, and he is at once taken off to prison, where he must lie till he compounds will' the zemindar, or pay the amount for which he is sued into court. More than this, in order the more effectually to strike terror among his ryots, he gets up a false charge again s t a num ber of them—say from sixteen to twenty—of hav ing plundered his treasury in the village, and as, through fear of arrest fordobt, none of the villagers will venture up to give evidence in favour of the ac cused, the case goes by default against all who are caught ; and at this moment there are, in the Alipore jail, six of these poor villagers on sentences of imprisonment and flue, varying from three to twelve months, and from 50 to 200 rupees. In the meanwhile the property of the prisoners is being sold ad libitum, by the zemindar. Such then is the state of things between ryo!s and zemindars in wretched Bengal. I vouch for the substantial truth of the above. This case may be that of any other people at any time ; and as the high price of rice, &c., at the present time, induces the landlord to wish for higher rents, the same process of oppression is going on doubtless in many other places throughout this province. Now all this may occur, and does in most cases, without the knowledge of ? the English officials, who are entirely in the hands of the native officers of the ' courts, and if, as in the above case, some one like myself should pity the poor people and bring their circumstances to the kno fledge of the collector, &0., yet his efforts will be in vain. The English officials, however willing, have little or no power to help, and the zemindars laugh at us altogether, while the oppressed ryot wonders at the neglect of Government to his woes, and is ready to welcome any change that may occur in the hope of deliver ance. The Mussulmau Ferazees of the eastern parts of Bengal, to whom I previously alluded, are chiefly ryots, and one object of their combination is deli verance from the tyranny of their landholders. In these excitable times; therefore, there is but too much reason to fear a rebellion in Bengal. With such a state of things in the Lower Provinces, and the fearful rebellion that has been raging in the North-West for the last twelve months, the fruit of the East India's Company's misrule, one cannot hear with patience the lauding of all parties of poli ticians at home for the good it has done in this country. Her Majesty the Queen, who is to succeed it, and her officers, will find the rectification of the evils it leaves behind, and the reconstruction of order throughout the land, a legacy not worth the thanking for. The work that is to be done in putting this vast empire upon a substantial b Isis, will require all the wisdom and resources of Britain's bast sons. As the state of the country becomes known, and the causes of the rebellion understood, it will be seen that the Directors of the Honourable Company have little deserved the commiseration shown them. Nor are things more bright in r3speet to legisla tion and administration. Either the rebellion has shed no light upon our rulers, or they are deterred by the change and uncertain condition of the Go vernment at home, for there are nosigns of improve ment in the way of reform—no new laws tending that way, nor administrative acts. I have it on indisputable authority that our rulers in Calcutta hold exactly to the same principles as guided them before the outbreak. Take ono little instance in proof : the governor of tho Andaman Islands has recently posted a notification, forbidding dogs to be brought on shore lest the caste of the mutineers, banished there for life, should be injured. The governor is under tho direction of the Bengal officials. STATE OF THE SERPENTINE. Last evening a public meeting was held at the Cadogan Institute, ,Sloane street, Chelsea, in furtherance of measures for the correction of the long-complained-of evils and nuisance connected with the Serpentine, in consequence of its alleged stagnant and d tngerous state. Mr. Heywood, late M.P. for North Lancashire, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, sad the state of the Serpentine was certainly most dangerous, not only to bathers, but to the general inhabitants of its locality. As far as the danger to bathers was concerned, the state of the mud in it was such as to defy the appliances of the Reyal Humane Society, in a recent case, to rescue a drowning man until life was extinct. He thought that those who partook of the healthy exercise of bathing in the river were entitled to every pre caution for their safety, and that measures should be immediately taken for this purpose. Mr. LILWALL entered at some length into the exertions which had been made during the last tan years to procure the improvement of the Serpentine, and bore testimony to the danger attending upon bathing in it. It was an undoubted fact that a very large number of individuals had lost their lives while bathing in that river from becoming immersed in the mud at its bottom, to say nothing of the evil arising from its foul and Wagnant state. Dr. COPELAND moved the first resolution, to the effect that the met ting could not but express its disappointment that the nec scary measures had not hitherto been employed, the Serpentine still continuing in its former dangerous condition. He could safely speak to the evils arising from the eau es complained of, believing, as he did, that hucii diseases as ague, catarrh, low and intermittent fever, barrel c anplaints, and the like, were ex tremely prevalent among those in the habit of bathing in the river, or taking exercise near its I antis. He was of- opinion that one of the chief CAU3O3 of the pallor of countenance and loss of health, at this period of the year, amongst the wealthy classes who take exercise in the vicinity of the Serpentine, was the present impure state of that river. He thought that in agaillly joint of was the utmost importance that some remedial measure should be adopted without delay. Dr. LANKESTER seconded the reso!ution con tending that the question was not a local one merely, but that it affected the whole community, inasinuth as those who bathed in the river came from differtnt parts of the metropolis, and the park likewise in which it is situated WAS frequented by a great number of others than those who live in its vicinity. Ho also entered at some length into the physical evils arising from the present, and for some time past, impure state of the river. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. S. C. HALL moved the second reolution— " That this meeting would again urge upon the Government, on the double ground of increasing the salubrity and beauty of the park and promot ing the safety and the healthy enjoyment of the bathers, that the deep pits in the Serpentine should be filled up, that the bed of the river should be reeler:el to a depth ranging from thtee to four feet at tLe weet,rn end to eight or ten feet at the eastern end, that it should be comparatively shall° 'V, and of graduated depth for some distance in, all along, either shore, and that the supply of water should be suflic;enty increased to bring the eas ;ado at the lowe r end of th e l a k e i nto constant play." He urged the neces-ity of the authorities at once putting a stop to the evils comp'ained of, in order that the lives of the 200,000 persons who wee averaged to bathe in the river during the salubrity motiths of the n shoultlriot e to longer endangered, and the eighourbood placed in jeopardy." Dr. TILT Seconded the motion, which was also carried nein. con. DR. PETTIGREW moved the next resolution, to the effect that the meeting was of opinion that no better mode of cleansing and levelling the S(..rpen tine, and of obtaining the Inctxsary enlarged sup ply of water, could or need be devised than has been adopted, and which has answered so admir ably in St. James's Park. He was able to speak from personal experience of the advantages arising to the inhabitants of the latter place and its neigh bourhood from the improvements effected in its piece of water. He hoped to see similar measures speedily carried out in regard to the Serpentine. Mr. LILWALL supported the resolution, and in reply to an objection which had been urged to cleansing the Serpentine from the danger of remov ing the mud, said it would not be necnsary to remove the mud, if, as he suggested, the water were drained off, and after the mud became hard, the bottom were covered with gravel and concrete. The motion was carried, and a deputation was appointed to wait upon tll3 Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, to lay before him the views of the meeting. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE.
