The Commission issued for inquiring into the State of the Supply of Water to the Metropolis, and the Correspondence between the Commis sioners and the Secretary of State for the Home Department, respecting the objects of the Com mission, have been printed by order of the House of Commons. The former, which we published on Monday, nominates in the usual form Peter Roget, Doc tor of Medicine, and 'William Thomas Brande and Thomas Telford, Esquires, the Commis sioners to enquire into the state of the Supply of Water in the Metropolis, including an enquiry into the Water Companies on the South and Surrey sides of the Metropolis, and authorising them, where the same shall appear to be requisite, to administer an oath to any person whatsoever to be examined before them touching or concern ing the premises. The following is a copy of the Correspondence: Extract of a Letter from the Commissioners of Water Enquiry to the Marquis of Lansdowne ; dated 10th November, 1827. As expences must necessarily be incurred in the prosecu tion of an inquiry of s 6 extensive a nature' as that which has been encrusted to them, the Commissioners, previously to commencing their labours, beg to request information from your Lordship as to what sums will be placed at their discretionary disposal for defraying these incidental ex pences. Among the sources of expence they would beg leave to specify the taking of levels, the making of surveys, the procuring plans of various kinds, and the proper re muneration to be made to a competent assistant. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Spring Rice to the Com missioners of Water Enquiry, dated 20th Nov. 1827. With respect to your other enquiries, Lord Lansdowne directs rue to add, that the necessary expences of this pro ceeding will be defrayed, us has been usual in similar cases, when the Report of the Commissioners is made, making payments in the mean while from time to time for any ex pences actually incurred ; but that should it be actually indispensable for the purpose of investigating the state and supply of water in the Metropolis that any new works should be commenced, it would be expedient, in the first place, that an estimate should be made and sent into this Office for the consideration of the Treasury. The more immediate objects of your inquiry would, however, seem to Lord Lansdowne to be the salubrity and description of the water itself, and the quantity in which it is furnished, together with such observations upon the whole of the subject as cannot fail to occur to gentlemen so highly qualified to give the desired information to the public as those whom it has pleased his Majesty to name in the present Commission. These objects appear to Lord Lansdowne as not likely to lead to any very protracted examination; and he there fore hopes that you may be enabled to furnish him with all practical expedition the information required by the votes of Parliament.

GENTLEMEN,.--I am directed by Mr. Secretary Peel to inform you, with reference to the interview you had with him a short time since, that upon referring to the Ad dresses of Parliament, and the Terms of the Commission, Mr. Peel's impression is the same with that which his pre decessor Lord Lansdowne seems to have entertained, viz., that the main objects of the Commission arc the description, the quantity, and the salubrity of the water now supplied to the Inhabitants of London by the several Water Com panies. Mr. Peel also concurs with his Lordship in the hope that the information upon those points which was in the con templation of Parliament may be procured without any very protracted examination, or the taking of levels and making surveys. I have. &c. P. M. Roget, Esq. M.D. S. M. PHILLIPPS. W. T. Brande, Esq. T. Telford, Esq. Copy of a Letter from the Commissionersof IVater luquiry to Mr. PhiHipps. Apartments of Commissioners, 9, New Palace Yard, February 29, 1828. SIR—We have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th, referring to the interview we lately had with Mr. Secretary Peel, and conveying to us his opi nion that the main objects of ow Commission are the des cription, the quantity, and the salubrity of die Water now supplied to the Inhabitants of the Metropolis by the several Water Companies, and his declining to furnish us with the means of taking levels and making surveys, which we stat. ed would have been necessary to enable us to decide upon various plans for remedying the existing evils. We beg leave at the same time to represent to Mr. Peel that tee have been laboriously occupied for the last four months in collecting a large mass of evidence relating to a much more extended inquiry than is comprised in the questions to which he has now limited our Commission. This evidence we hoped would have prepared the way for our recommendation of a practicable and efficacious plan of supplying the whole of the Metropolis with pure and wholesome water; an object which we cannot but esteem as of considerable inwertance, and which, as appears from the several petition:. to Parliament, giving occasion to the present Commission, has been so loudly and so earnestly called for by the Public. While proceeding in that course of investigation which apr,ared to us best calculated to satisfy the expectations of the petitioners and of the public, we considered it a very material object to obtain the most correct knowledge of the true nature of Thames Water, which has been so much th e subject of complaint in different parts of the river, from the mouth of the sea to Teddington, and for that pur pose vre were about to procure accurate analyses of the wa ter taken from different places, and more particularly front those whence the several Companies derive their sup /Ay, and in different states of the tide : but as from the expressions of Mr. Peel's sentiments with regard to the na t u re of our Commission, conveyed in your letter, we are led to apprehend that he may not sanction our proceeding further in the inquiries we were undertaking, we beg to he informed whether the expenses necessarily attendant on such an investigation will be defrayed by Government, as we had originally reason to expect they would be, from the letters of Mr. Spring Rice to us of the 20th and 27th of Novemker last. With regard to the mere questions of the description and quantity, and alleged quality of the water supplied by the Companies, we are already in possession of sufficient Materials for answering these questions, as far as can be known from information supplied by the Companies them selves, and from such further evidence as we have examined. But with regard to the salubrity of the water, it will not be possible for us to give any opinion which shall be satisfactory either to.the public or to ourselves, unless we are furnished with the information to be derived from the several analysis of Thames Water, of which we had already plan, and taken all the preliminary steps to carry into t aced eff the ec t. We have, &c. p. M. ROGET. WM. THOS. BRANDE. THOS. TELFORD. (Signed) Copy of a Letter from Mr. PhiHipps to the Commi*sioners of Water Inquiry. Whitehall, March 4, 1828. Gentlemen—l Lave laid before Mr. Secretary Peel your letter of the 29th ultimo, and I have received his directions to acquaint yen that he propoies to ret-ommend to the Trea.- sury that the intentions of the Secretary of State by whom the Commission for inquiry into the State of Water to the Metropolis was originally appointed, with respect to the payment of expeaces necessarily incurred in carrying, into effect the precise objects contemplated by the Co mm i ss i on , and with respect to the remuneration of the persons em ployed in the Commission, shall be fulfilled. Mr. Peel has referred to Mr. Sturges Bourne, who filled the office of Secretary of State when the Commisaion was appointed, in order to ascertain what were his views in re commending its appointment to the Cros n ; and he has learnt from Mr. Sturges Bourne that firm views were in conformity with terms of the petitions to Parliament, and of the Commission itself ; viz., " that the Inquiry should be into the description, the quantity, and the salubrity of the Water now supplied to the inhabitants of London by the several Water Companies." I am to state that Mr. Peel certainly did presume that an inquiry into the salubrity and description of the water would not be complete without an accurate analysis of the water from the different parts of the river from whence the several companies derive their supply; and that cer.• tainly his impression was that such an analysis must have been made during the period that has now elapsed since the appointment of the Commission. Mr. Peel thinks that it ought to be made without delay, and he requests to he informed within what period, " the plan for such analysis having been already traced, and all the preliminary steps taken for carrying it into effect," it can now be completed. I am, &c. (Signed) S. M. PHILLIPPS. The Commiesioners for Inquiring into the State of Water into the Metropolis, Copt• of a Letter from the Commissioners of Water Inquiry to Mr. Phillipps.

NEW SYSTEM OF PUNCTUATION.—At a dinner table, a short time ago, one of those non-descripta called a Dandy, was seated at the top, and an honest plain dealing farmer at the bottom. During dinner-time a great many affectedly polite speeches were made by the beau, and a great many coarse ones by the farmer. When cheese was introduced, the fop, in an affected mincing tone, asked the company whether they would take the cheese, and whe ther they preferred the pure or impure? On asking the farmer this question, the old man replied—" Hang you' pure or impure, give me some of the musty !" " Sir," says the Dandy, " I must beg leave to tell you, that you have made many very insolent speeches during dinner ; and, Sir, if I have any repetition of your insolence, I shall place my thumb and finger on each side of your nose, and make a parenthesis of it." " A parenthesis I shall you," says the old man, " then I shall put my fist in your face, and rruke a full stop !" PRICE 7D.

LENT ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT:—StIREWSBURY, DOE, ON TILE DEMISE OF THE EARL or SHREWSBURY AND LORD BERWICK, V. GEORGE TICKERINC. AND OTHERS.. Mr. TALFOURD opened the pleadings. Mr. CAMPBELL stated the ease. This was an action of ejectment brought by the noble plaintiffs to recover from George Pickering and 66 other de fendants, the surface of a certain portion of land, situate in this county, in the parish and manor of Rockwardine, known by the name of Rockwardine Wood, or the Moss. It was admitted that Lord Shrewsbury and Lord Berwick were entitled to two-thirds of the minerals beneath this surface, its undivided moieties, the remaining third belonged to Mr. Charlton. The defendants set up no claim, to the minerals : the only question was file right to the surface; and as the sixty-six other de fendants held under George Pickering, he (Mr. Campbell) would treat him as the sale defendant. and was ready to admit that he was tenant in common, with the plaintiffs, of a portion •of the land claimed. The Learned Course' then prr, ceeded to describe that Rockwardine-wood consisted of 80 acres of land, and was formerly known by the names of the Moss, Lunta, and Crumps. It came into the possession of the Talbot family, together with the manor of Rockwardine, in the reign of Richard 11., and into the family of Shrewsbury in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Gilbert, Earl of: Shrewsbury, by marriage settlement in 1516, limited the manor in tail male to Ins eldest son, Gilbert„ with remainder to Ins other sons in succession, and. on failure of issue, to his daughter. The sons hav ing died without male issue, the daughters took a'a tenants in common, and by marriage a portion of the property was acquired by the Jrrningham family„ who sold it in 1715 to Mr. Hill, the ancestor of Lortk Berwick. The manorial rights were subsecuently sold to a gentleman named Charlton, and the mine rals separated from the surface and sold to a person of the name of Batter, who assigned his interest-in them to three individuals of the names of Pemba ton, Bevil, anti Dull. "'De Learned Counsel trim entered into a detail of the pedigree of the Pickering. family, showing how they first got into possession of the property in question, and referred to several wills and other documents, proving that they had no interest in it beyond one-third, except that which they derived from Lord Shrewsbury and Lord Ber wick, to each of whom they had always paid a rent of 54 14s. per annum. A number of witnesses, agents of Lord Berwick and Shrewsbury, were called, who proved the pay, merits of the 51. 14s. on behalf of the Pickering family, and also the request of the defendant George Pickering to be included in the rent-roll, and his sub sequent refusal to acknowledge the tide of the Noble, Lords. A considerable quantity of documentary evidence was also produced, which oecepied th e Court till eleven o'clock at night. 111Aant 25. Mr. TAUNTON (with whom was Mr. Sergeant RUSSELL and Mr. lIOLI oYD), on behalf of the de fendants, this morning commenced his address to the j ur y, contending that the payments made by the Pickering family were chief rents, and not conven_ tionary rents ; that when the Shrewsbury Canal was cut through a part of Rockwardine-wood, the pay,. ments for that portion of the land were made to George Pickering's family; and that, in consequenci -, of an Act of Parliament conveying the estates of Lord Shrewsbury to certain trustees therein named, his Lordship was divested of the legal estate, or right of entry. Several leases by the Pickering family of the pro, perty in question were then put in, as well as other• documentary evidence. Mr. CAMPBELL. having replied, and the Learned Judge recapitulated the evidence, the Jury found a verdict for• the plaintiffs. HEREFORD, MARCH 24. The commission was opened here yesterday by Mr. Justice Park, Mr. Baron Vaughan having been detained at Shrewsbury to a late hour, with the trial of the above cause.
