We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 68,413): "Rome, July 21st, 1856.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies. he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his heath, and Ills Holiness cann t praise this excellent food too highly."

Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane trigonometry, and the elements of the differen tial and integral calculus Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hy drostatics Practical Shipbuildiag, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marine Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) French Elements of Physics and Chymistg 2,500 _ 2,500 500 750 English Grammar and Composition 750 Geography and History 750 No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the compe tition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may bo selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all resrects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dockyard appreLtices, commencing at Is. 6d. per day for six days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week white away from their homes, either at the school or in the _Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study ; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examiearon will take place on the 23rd September and three following days.

Lord Cairns has given notice of a proposition that in contested elections for three-cornered constitu encies no voter should give more than Lwo votes; and if this proposition be adopted, a minority of a third will secure one of three members. The three members for Bristol would thus represent Bristol, and not merely a majority of its voters. ThiS amendment coming after Lord Grey's proposition obviates the grave difficulty which has hitherto em barrassed all attempts to design a comprehensive scheme of Redistribution. The two together make it the most conservative, as it is the wisest policy to remove, as far as possible, the anomalies which have always been offensive to criticism, and which must become indefensible the moment the useful results they secure are attained by better means. The effect would be to exchange a system of representa tion by chance and full of inconsistencies for another equally, if not more truly, representative and reasonable in form. We are convinced it is on every account desirable that Lord Grey's proposal to take a member 'from each of the boroughs below 12,000, and give the seats so obtained to the counties and towns requiring increased representation, should be adopted. Lord Grey has, however, other Amendments to follow. If his first suggestion be carried, lie will ask the house to group together iome of the smallest boroughs, and-so acquire - still more seats for distri bution. Two of the seats thus obtained he proposes to reserve for a constituency not lately mentioned, though it was put forward, for enfranchisement in the bill of 1854. We mean the Inns of Court ; and Lord Grey suggests that in this constituency the cumulative rote should be introduced. The practi cal consequence of adopting Lord Grey's suggestion would be that, as a rule, the ablest lawyer on each side would sit for the Inns of Court, and the regret expressed by Lord Russell in his work on Parlia mentary reform that Sir Roundell Palmer should owe his seat to the good offices of the patron of a nomination borough would cease. As Lord Grey ha s not yet published any scheme of grouping, we do not kcow how many seats he proposes to distri bute ; but even supposing the method of grouping were not adopted, be would have ten seats to dis pose of besides the two allotted by him to the Inns of Court, and would thus be able to add a third member to ten additional constituencies. If we add these to the four already created by the bill and the seven previously in existence, we shall have 21 three cornered constituencies, in each of which the form of representing minorities proposed by Lord Cairns could be introduced. The amendments of Lord Grey and Lord Cairns naturally supplementing one ano ther would thus, if adopted, make no inconsiderable redistribution bill of themselves ; but even more is possible. Were the suggestion advanced by Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen in the letter we published on Saturday also adopted, the redistribution scheme of the bill would be immensely improved. Let the proposed trisection of counties be abandoned, as Mr. Hugessea urged, and instead of three divisions returning two members each, let two divisions be preserved returning three members each, and the representation of our great constituencies would be elevated in dignity and character, and the pro blem of redistribution would be effectively solved. Parliament has . made a rapid advance this ses sion, but in nothing has the progress of opinion been more remarkable than on the question of Redistri bution. The first proposals of the Government— timid as they may now appear to us—were thought dangerous in their extent at the beginning of the year, and it is possible that had anything more been then advanced, the Ministry and Reform would both have suffered shipwreck. The first proposals were enlarged, but as the enfranchising clauses be came more liberal it was apparent that the Redis tribution scheme, although amended, was inade quate. And yet it seemed impossible to go any further. To disfranchise small boroughs, and to confer additional representatives on large consti tuencies by subdividing them, is a process which must end in destroying the character of the House of Commons rs the representation of the whOle nation, and prejudices apparently invincible stand in the way of adopting methods of voting by which the inevitable pr9cess. of Redistribution might be re,r o r 4,en ta ti v e silently. Thedivision i n th e House of Con. , ffiqN on the representation of minorities was a surprise to those who trusted that novel truths, howevt;. ; clear, must be rejected, beca use o f th e i r nove lty. yhe manifestation of the s ame o pi n i on i n th e h ouse o f Lords is a fit sequel to th e vo t e o f th e H ouse o f Commons. Lord Russell, Lord Grey, and Lord Cairns are united in recommending the method of representing the minorities contained in the bill of the Aberdeen administration, and it is difficult to believe that such a combination of authority can be with stood. It only remains for the Government to accept, as it should do gladly, the amendment pro posed by its ablest supporter. The effect on the character of the bill of adopting the suggestions of Lord Grey and Lord Cairns would be, as we have said, incalculable. Judged by the party results of the change, its value would indeed be small, but the atnendments are happily free from party motives. The bill would be tranformed, purified, completed. It would no longer be composed of two unequal parts, the one bold and thoroughgoing, the other feeble, limited, and provocative of change, bat each part would correspond to and be complementary of the other. The whole would be a measure for the reform of the representation of the people of even higher value as a work of statemanship than the Act of 1832, and only less rich in anticipated re sults, because the accumulated abuses of misgovern ment and unjust legislation have been swept away in the interval. TIIE " WESTMINSTER GAZETTE" ON UNIVERSITY EDUCATION.—On the adjourned debate last Wed nesday on Trinity College, Dublin, Mr. Goschen put the following question Why should there not be a university in Dublin which should repre sent, not only the 500,000 Protestants, but the four millions of Roman Catholics ?" Mr. Monsell's amendment and the subsequent debates have done much towards compelling a public and satisfactory handling of a grievance which, for nearly twenty years, has been inflicted by successive Governments on Ireland. Since now, however, it is no longer to be denied that the principle of mixed education, as represented in the Queen's University, has been condemned by the public conscience of Ireland, as well as by the voice of the Church, no attempt can hereafter be made on the part of any English Go vernment with the slightest chance of conciliating the people of Ireland which does not include such a simple act of justice as,the granting of a denomi national university education. On the necessity of a Catholic edudation -in an unmixed university or college, the bishops of Ireland are unanimous ; nothing short of this will satisfy Catholic claims. The principle of denominational education is also maintained by Mr. Monsell's scheme, which is sup ported by Mr. O'Reilly—an able and earnest oppo nent of the mixed system pursued in the Queen's Colleges. But Mr. O'Reilly, as well as Mr. Mon sell, is opposed to the establishment of an indepen dent Catholic university in Dublin--a plan which the Government seems inclined to favour, and which would receive the support of such Liberals as Mr. Goschen—on the ground that to multiply univer sities would tend to lower the standard of educa tion. Instead of a Catholic university with a sepa rate charter, and the power of granting degrees and conducting examinations, by a board consisting of the professors of the university, Mr. O'Reilly would prefer to see in Ireland one great examining uni veraity, where students of all religions might resort for the purpose of submitting to an examination before a mixed board. The grounds of this prefer ence are chiefly these : that it would promote emu lation between the students of the various educational establishments •, that the tests in such an examining university would preserve a higher standard of edu cation than could be possibly maintained by the esta blishment of several rival universities; and, lastly, that the public prestige attaching to a national university would be very much greater than that of a purely and exclusively Catholic university. In addition to these advantages of an intellectual and of a social character, the advocates of this scheme, whose opinions are entitled to no small considera tion, contend that the denominational principle is in no way infringed, inasmuch as the colleges which are to be affiliated to the university are to be strictly denominational. As far as literary pre-eminence and social prestige go, we readily grant that the advan tage would lie on the side of a national university, but we think literary excellence or social distinction may be too dearly purchased. The superior advan tages of an exclusively Catholic university as op 3 posed to a national examining university are, in our opinion, these : First, that the denominational principle, the Catholic formation of the mind, is more likely to be secured in a university whose tests of intellectual excellence are applied by exclu sively Catholic examiners than iu a university whose course of study is shaped by tests proposed by a mixed board. Secondly, that a greater intellectual completeness is arrived at by ; the examinations being made by the same body which directs the studies and is in contact with the students. Thirdly, that a university which educates and confers de grees, promotes residence and the college system ; whereas a mere examining board, like the London University, encourages mere learning at the expenst. of college life and university training. And, lastly. to refer to the actual circumstances of Ireland that to convert the existing Catholic University of Dub lin, instituted by the Pope, into one among a num ber of colleges affiliated to a national university, governed by a mixed board of Protestants and Catholics empowered by Government to cond'ict examinations and to confer degrees on all-comers. would certainly inflict a blow on the uphOlders of separate and exclusive education, if not •on the principle of denominational education itself. For these reasons, even at the .expense of some social distinction, and of some literary excellence, we should prefer to see a charter and sufficient endow ments conferred on the existing Catholic University in Dublin, for the excluSive benefit of the Catholics of Ireland, and Trinity College to remain in the undisturbed possession of Protestants, whilst they who are careless of faith and morals, if they are to be found in sufficient numbers, might still repair to the godless colleges of the Queen's University. By such means a university education might be given to Catholic Ireland in accordance to its religious principles. By such an act of tardy justice, the egregious failure of attempting to educate a Catholic nation on an system _ might, after years of wasted energies, at last be made good. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. There is no great change to notice in the Money Market this week. There is a lull which may soon change into greater activity. When the small rate of interest paid for money on deposit is considered, it is not likely that capi talists will remain long satisfied with a return for their money of only 11- to 2 per cent. As the different limited liability companies improve their position confidence will return, and with it prices will improve . and regain that figure which will pay about 5 per cent. But to regain confidence a clear statement ought to be published, to show how the capital has been invested, and in what way it can be restored with profit to the company. The accounts published by the General Credit and Discount Company, at the half-yearly meeting held last week, were so far satisfactory that the chairman explained that the company had at their disposal two-thirds of the capital, or one million sterling, but he was unable to give a clear statement in what way the other half million is invested. He explained that of this sum £151,000 had been lent to the South-Eastern Railway of Portugal. In the printed report it is said that—" Assurances have been given by the Portugese Ministers to the effect that theii Government will eventually deal with the question in a spirit of equity which will prove satisfactory to the railway company and its creditors." S 9 there is hope that the money will be repaid when the Govern ment of Portugal is able to raise the money by loan or otherwise. He also explained that £160,050 had been lent to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, secured by a charge on surplus land. The printed report reads thus : " Your directors have been obliged to file a bill in Chancery against the Railway Company and other parties through whose instrumentality the transaction was entered into. Although at present the ;answers to these proceedings have not been put in, your directors are advised that not only will the chargebe sustained, but that those who obtained this loan from the company will be held responsible for its repayment." He further ex plained that the liability for calls upon outstanding invest ments was not more than £12,000, but no account was given of these investments, which figure in the pub lished account to the 31st December "at market value £150,851." The real position of the company will, there fore, be only known at the annual meeting which takes place at the commencement of the year, when it is to be hoped that outstanding loans and securities will be rea lized, and will enable the company to show a clear balance sheet. In the meantime, the credit of the companY is secure, as they have more than £1,000,000 in hand, which gives every security to depositors, and increased deposits are expected, as the Bank allows interest on money on deposit. The shareholders were glad to read in the re port " that the amount of profits actually made, justifies the directors in making an interim payment on account of dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, for the six months ending 30th June, and the report and accounts were reeeiv.ed and adopted unanimously. < At the 4eeting of trtir-Landon Joint Stock Bank, Mr. £92,175, and the usual diVitlad -- ifilii3 rate of 121,pr centter annum, with a bonus of Gs. 3d. per share, nmk ing together £1 ss. per share, was declared, leaving £2,175 to bo carried forward. The liabilities of the Bank on i limosit accounts and acceptances, which are not stated sop ' an ;!,ely, are £14,733,764. The proposal for issuing 8,000 ne'ur so as to increase the paid-up capital of the Bank from :.1,080,000 to £1,200,000 is to bo considered at a general meeting pn the 25th inst. lidated Bank, to be presented The report of the Cons;' at the meeting on the 24th L:lutant, shows an available total of £40,346, including a preTiousbalance of £9,107. A distribution at the rate of 5 per - cent- per annum, will absorb £18,958 ; the sum of £3,000 is to be carried to re serve, which will then amount to £95,000. A gpecial ap propriation of £lO,OOO is to be made as the nucleus of a fund to meet any loss that may possibly arise from a liability of £233,691, incurred by the bank two or three years ago in connection with the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, and a balance Of £B,lBB will remain to be carried forward. The paid-up capital of the bank is £BOO,OOO, and the deposits held are £2,159,710, being an increase of £571,335. The bullion deposited at the Bank of Engliid has reached the sum of £22,686,726, compared with £13,645,975 for the same week last year. The discount remains at 21 per cent., but this will be, it is expected, shortly reduced to 2 per cent. But even at that low rate of interest there are no signs as yet of a return of confidence. Although rain was much wanted in the country, the violence of the late storms has done some damage to the growing crops. Where fields have been laid, it Will, no doubt, reduce the quality and the average yield. In France, in the centre and west, fine weather is much wanted to get in the corn which is now ready to be car- ried. In the north a large breadth has been laid, and the price of corn has gone up in consequence. However, as farmers this year, on account of high prices, have sown a larger breadth than usual, with fine weather an average crop may still be expected. From Vienna we ledrethat the harvest has been magnificent in Hungary, mkt' that considerable orders for grain had arrived from England, and that the French have been making large purchases for some time past. Accounts from Australia by the pre sent mail indicate that the supply for wheat and flour this year in all the colonies will be unusually great. Already in the period between the Ist of January and the 18th of May, 'the exports from Port-Adelaide to England had amounted to 87,621 qrs. of wheat, and 512 tons of flour, and larger quantities would be shipped in the event of any upward movement in prices. There have been great fluctuations in the price of the Don Pedro Northdel Rey and Anglo-Brazilian Gold Com pany's shares, consistent with the high premiums which have lately been paid. The monthly report of both mines has been received, showing that the profits of the Don Pedro mine, to the Ist of June, amount to £23,729, and an extraordinary general meeting of the company will be held ou the 28th day of August next, to authorize the directors to pay an interim dividend of 3s. Gd. per share, for the three months ending 30th June last, which will take about £13,550. The produce cleared, up to the 18th Juno, is 4,892 oitavas, which prothises a fair profit for that month, and it is to be hoped that as the works proceed in the Jacotinga formation another rich bunch will be discovered. In the Anglo-Brazilian the cost has been greater than the returns by £6OO. Tho ores have fallen off in yield, butas they appear good for gold, the captain is of opinion that the stamping has been too deep in the "covers," and an experiment, therefore, of stamping less deep in the covers will be made forthwith. He writes that the work at the different sections of the mine has been carried on with regularity, and the lodes have seldom looked better. The numbers of the bonds purchased with the sinking fund of the Peruvian 4-1 rer Cents. for the half-year enodo - 30th June have been published, allowing that £320,81 have been bought up. This makes the tenth half:evi; redemption, and making the total amount of loand was cancelled to date £2,824,250. The original £5,500,000. In Italy, Signor Nervo, on behalf of the committee on the Budget, has presented his report on the financial ex penditure for the year 1866-7. The report shows that for 18 67 a mounts to 114,000,000 the general expenditure lire, and the revenu to 897,000,000 li re, leaving a deficit of 217,000,000 lire.

SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The most important of the amendments proposed to be moved in committee of the Lords have been left to the last. On Saturday Lord Grey and Lord Cairns gave notice of amendments, which, taken together, would make the redistribution clauses of the Reform Bill worthy to be coupled with the clauses of enfranchisement. Never were more timely suggestions made. It seemed as if Lord Halifax, by placing an abstract resolution as a block against going into committee, would render it impossible to effect any sufficient extension of the scheme of redistribution. It is true that he invites the House of Lords to declare that the proposed redistribution is insufficient, and that it is desirable that additional representation should be conferred on populous constituencies, but he has refused to reveal any scheme of his own. Lord Grey and Lord Cairns together have gone a long way to sup ply this deficiency. Lord Grey proposes that the limit of the population of boroughs which shall lose one of their two members shall be extended from ten to twelve thousand. It is evident that the range of disfranchisem'mt must be enlarged if Par liament desires so to resettle the representation of the country that it may not be immediately dis turbed by a Reformed House of Commons. Dis franchisement must of course be governed by a comparison of the claims to retain their privileges of the towns sought to be disfranchised with the claims of populous towns to an increased number of members, and of new constituencies to be admitted to the honour of sending a representative to Parlia ment. Apply this principle to Lord Grey's amend ment. The boroughs it would affect are twelve. The list begins with Barnstaple, Beverley, and Bridgwater, and ends with Warwick and Weymouth. If we say that of the five thus named four are no torious, no person will venture to deny the truth of the statement, while any member representing one of them may, if he can, think that his is the excepted constituency. The twelve boroughs have as a whole no such reputation as should prevent their being deprived of a member apiece. 'There is thus no preliminary objection to their disfranchise ment, and if we make the comparison between them and the towns seeking additional or original repre sentation, we find their case admits of no defence. Take, for instance, Bridgewater and Bristol. They are not far apart. The one had 11,320 inhabitants in 1861, the other had 154,093. If the question be asked whether it be better that each should have two members, or that Bridgewater should have one and Bristol three, there can be little hesitation about the answer• The only objection which can be raised PRICE.... 4d.

There was to have been a race on Saturday for two pieces of plate, value respectively lOgs, and 6gs., but as the entry list dwindled down to two yachts only, the Aerolite of 71 tons, belonging to Messrs. Dawdall and Cooper, and the Clara of 7 tons, belonging to Mr. J. Pim, and the latter, feeling ho had no chance in turning to windward, only consented to start rather than those assembled to witness a race should be entirely disappointed. There is but little to record.

The bet ting, which was heavy, was from 7 to 4 to 5 to 2 on the gun. J. Offer, of Hammersmith, supplied such excellent blue rock pigeons that in many instances they fairly beat the sportsmen. The last grand handicap of the season, to which the public will be admitted, is fixed to take place on the 10th of August. NORTH LONDON SWIMMING CLUB.- —On Satur day the captaincy of this newly-formed club MS swum for in the Pond, Lower Heath, Hampstead, with the following result:—Jas. Cele 1, G. Cole 2, W. Cole 3. Mr. H. Wood stock was starter and j udge. Forty years ago an alarm arose thicthe4WiterS' then drawn from the tidal dm' trict of the Thames was unwholesome and dangerouti . to health. A Royal Commission which was then appointed to determine its quality reported that the water of the Thames, When free from extraneous substances, was not unfit for domestic use, but that as it approached the metropolis it became loaded with a quantity of filth which rendered it improper to be employed in the preparation of food. This report was referred to a Committee of the House of Commons, which in July, 1828, made a report recommending that Mr. Tel ford be instructed to be make the surveys necessary to enable him to recommen d a prac ticable and eflicaY cious plan of supplying !he whole of the metropolis with pure and wholesome water. In 1834 Mr. Tel ford made his report, advising that the northern partof the metropolis then supplied from the Tham , ,% should be supplied from the river Verulam, and the southern part from the Wandle. In the same year this report was refer' ed to a Select Committee, which carried on a long investigation, but, owing to i' d s being late in the session, merely reported the 4 e v dence to the house. In 1840 the H ouse of Lords appointed a committee upon the subject; thi s also, after examining many witnesses, owy o eluded with reporting the evidence to the house. The outbreak of cholera in 1849 again drew The B at o t a e r n. d subject, and o t i f o t e o a t t h h n q n u d a e l r i t t o y o o k f t t o h e investigateav atersup p t l h y e . in the following year proposed a plan for drawing a better supply from gathering grounds in the Bagshot Sands and in the district known as the Hind head, to the south of Guildford. In the same year, in..a_ . -Parliametttitry Cordfnittee in a bill renliti g its to f t the Board o p a l: d y from u of nd w e a r t N e v r enta severe rriver scrutiny, e t a i ny , th e e a r n e d por : con clusions were somewhat discredited. In consequence of this the Government appointed a scientific Com mission on the chemical quality of the water supplied 1850 by the several e me to theco m conclusion pani es that it exhibited no in ; and the committee unwholesome qualities, but they recommended that it should be protected from town sewage, and b e filtered. In 1851 the Government proposed a bill to amalgamate all the metropolitan water companies, and compel the new company to obtain water from such sources as the Secretary of State might direct. This bill was referred to a committee, which ascer tained that a sufficient supply of water of good quality might be obtained from the valley of the Thames and the other sources upon which the com -;e pa u ies drew. While these discussions were going on the tidal waters of the Thames were being gra dually affected by modifications in the drainage of London. It had long been penal to allow any solid matter to pass into the drains, but with a better sup ply of water to wash it away it was made compul sory to pass it there, and at the same time with the extension of the population the quantity of house drainage was largely increased. It was in these circumstances that the Act of 1852 was passed, pro hibiting the companies from taking water from the Thames below Teddington Lock, or from any tribu tary stream below the tidal point. In 1856, the first year after that Act came into full operation, the five companies obtaining their supply from the Thames obtained an average of nearly 33,000,000 gallons a day ; in 1866 they drew nearly 47,000,000 gallons daily. The estimated number of persons now supplied by these companies is 1,369,090. Supposing the population should double itself within the next 60 years the supply required would not . exceed 100,000,000 gallons a day. But the smallest quantity of water known to flow down the Thames at the source of supply, in the driest time on record, exceeds 350,000,000 gallons a day, and in a time of flood more than 25,000,000,000 gallons have flowed down, so that if it were thought necessary to pro vide a store in reservoirs the Thames will sometimes yield in a day a sufficient supply for a whole year. The quality of the water supplied to London has very greatly improved since the passing of the Act of 1852, and may be advantageously compared with the water generally supplied to towns in England. Still the only mode of securing water against pos sible causes of danger is by preventing it being mixed with sewage or other known sources of conta ~amcs provt es or.l3ltst -Sag.sianTelatine . to the practicable;- and the committee from whose report . these statements are taken—the Commons' commit tee on the East London Water Bills=are convinced that the quantity and quality of the water supply • from the Thames are so far satisfactory that there is no ground for disturbing the arrangements made - under the Act of 1852. The New River Company and the East London Company, drawing their sup sppliresingsfroamt form er Athmewrniairie,raffLnerad(ittlhgesbnut 4, o h o a o vi , daily), supplied nearly 38,000,000 gallons a day in O n o g o a l so gallons the 1856, and 41,670,000 gallons in 1866.

Any great addition to the present supply would make reservoirs for storing water requisite, but there does not seem to be any - difficulty in constructing such works. A bill passing through Parliament enables' the East London Company to increase their Tottenham reser voir so as to store 500,000,000 gallons of water ; and as the water at their intake is liable at certain times to become so much contaminated as to be unfit fur storing, the committeeon the bill introduced a clause requiring them to make such channels of communi cation between the river and the reservoir as will allow the flow of water to be regulated or cut off. Another bill gives this company power to obtain a supply of 10,000,000 gallons a day from the Thames, and the committee are satisfied that there will thus be an abundant provision of water for the eastern part of London for many years to come. The coin mitteeare also satisfied that, as far as science affords the ineansof judging, the watersupplied by the New River and East Loudon companies is not only wholesome, but compares favourably with that supplied by other places. But they concur in the recommendation made by the Rivers Pollution Committee that after the lapse of a certain period no sewage (unless passed over land so as to become purified) and no injurious re fuse should be allowed to be cast into the Lea or tributaries. The works at Old Ford are also, un der these bills, to be improved. The committee state that with these remedial measures carried into effect, the Lea will be as free from risk of contami nation as the Thames, and will afford a supply of wholesome water of unquestionable character to the East Loudon Company at the lower source of sup ply, as it now does to the New River Company from its intake near Hertford. The other company, the North Kent, draws its water from deep wells, and no question has ever arisen as to the quality of the supply. The quantity, averaging 2,340,000 gallons a day in 1856 is now more than 6,000,000 gallons. The populition supplied numbers 237,068. The quantity might easily be doubled. The result of the inquiry is, in the opinion of the committee, that London is found to have an ample supply of good water at its doors, and all that is needed is to stop the systematic contamination of it, and to pass a constant supply into every house, both of which objects are attainable and ought now to be at tained.
