Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the A and Physiology of the Reproductiv e Organs. Itun fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a tear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, bat erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases. - Published by the Author, and may be had of Kent and Richards, 52, Paternoster-row; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street; Starie, Tichbome street, Haymarket ; Mum, 89, Cornhill ; Gordon, 146, Leaden hall-stroot, London; or, free by post for forty-two lump, morn tin Author's Wilmo t u 7, Bod,ioni-aquae Loam, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The prisoner was at sword drill on the 10th ult., Adjutant Forbes being the commanding officer at the time; and not being satisfied with the manner in which Lieutenant Pyne was conduct ing his exercise, Lieutenant Forbes ordered him from the squad in which he was to another not so far ad vanced in military tactics. This order the prisoner re fused to obey, and hence the present trial. The evidence for the prosecution closed yesterday, and tho Court adjourned until to-day, at 12 o'clock, to hear the defence. . Wind, easterly. - LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 5. (Sittings in Banco.) CAUSSIDIERE U. LONG. This was an action of libel by the celebrated . tnemrel of the Provisional Government of France, in which he sought to recover damages from the defendant, the pub lisher of the Morning Post, for the publication of certain voluminous extracts from the pamphlet Of M. Chenu, in which it may be remembered that certairr disclosures were made by no means creditable or flattering to the character of the ex-Prefect of Police. The defendant pleaded " Not guilty," and a special plea of justifica tion, reiterating the charges in question. To this there was a special demurrer, on the ground that the plea ought to have given the names of places and per sons where and with whom those charges affected the plaintiff. Mr. PEARSON appeared for the plaintiff in support of the demurrer, and stated that the plaintiff was about to establish himself in business as a merchant in this coun try, and that his main object in bringing this action was to clear himself from those imputations in the pamphlet which affected his honesty in respect to the disposition of funds, alleged to have been raised by him in aid of the Poles and to have been diverted from their destination. lie contended that the plea was bad from its generality, and cited several cases in support of that proposition. Sir F. Pou.ocx did not see why the plaintiff should not take issue on the plea as it stood. It he wished for particulars he ought to have applied at chambers. Mr. ATLIERTON, for the defendant, was most anxious to go to trial on the charges in the plea, which, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, was perhaps as full and precise as could have been expected. If, hovt ever, the Court thought that the plea ought to be amended, and his friend would furnish him with those charges in respect of which he chiefly complained, every information should be given so as to enable the plaintiff to go to trial at once and to meet them. Sir F. POLLOCK.—Very well. We think the plea ought t) be amended.--Leave to amend. CAUSSIDIERE V. LAWSON. This was a similar action, plea, and demurrer in the case of the Times newspaper. When it was called on, Mr. PEACOCK, on the part of the defendant, said, that as it was necessary to examine witnesses at Paris, it would be desirable to change the Venue from Middlesex to London. Mr. Baron PLATT expressed his surprised at the plaintiff's having brought two actions; if his object was merely to justify his character, surely ono would have sufficed. _ Mr. PEARSON vindicated the course of the plaintiff by stating that in the case of the Ilmes the libel was of a larger character than that inserted in the Morning Post. Mr. Baron PLATT—Then you ought to try the case of the Tinter alone. Ultimately, after some discussion, it was arranged that the venue in this case should be Changed to Surrey, and that in that of the Mortzino Post the venue should remain as originally laid, in Middlesex. The result of this will in all propability be that the action against the Times will be tried at the ensuing assizes, and before that against the Post can be reached. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 5. (Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.) IN RE LEE.—EIGHT OF CREDITORS TO BE ADMITTED As JUDGMENT CREDITORS. The bankrupt was a barge-tritilder at Rotherifitbe. His HONOUR this day gave judgment upon the point that he had reserved for consideration. He said this was an application by a creditor under c. 257 of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, 1849, by which it is provided that each creditor who proves under a bank ruptcy shall be deemed a judgment creditor, and upon application shall have a certrticat3 of the fact from this court; upon which certificate he may obtain from the proper office of one of the superior courts at Westmin ster tae common writ of capiss under which hs may im prison the bankrupt if that court refuses to protect him. The clause is one of twenty-five clauses in the new Bankrupt Act, constituting a code of criminal of fences and punishments. They are all embraced in the 39th subdivision of the Act, and are all headed by the formula, ‘• And with respect to offences against the law relating to bankrupts: Be it enacted," &c. Thence it is apparent that the object of that clause was not to en force the payment of a debt, which, generally speaking, is the object of the writ of copies ad sutisfaciendum, but to inflict punishment upon fraudulent debtors. Having reviewed the state of the bankrupt law from Henry VIIL to the present time, his Honour proceeded to state that one of the advantages consequent upon the recent alteration of the law was, that no debtor could be pun ished by the Commissioner without the aid either of the assignees or a creditor, nor by a creditor without the concurrence of the Commissioner. His imprisonment could not thus continue a longer period than an impar tial person might deem necessary for example sake; c. 257 makes the assignee and each creditor judgment cre ditors, aid points out how they shall be enabled to arrest the bankrupt; and c. 259 provides that the bankrupt shall not be released under one year's imprisonment, except by order of the Court. To apply these clauses to the case before me, the bankrupt Lee had behaved extremely ill to his creditors in many respects, but he has also committed one of the offences spe cified in c. 256, that of putting a creditor to unnecessary expense by vexatiously defending an action. I therefore felt bound to refuse protection, in obedience to c. 256. As soon as I had . pronounced my judgment I was re quested by the assignees to grant them, under c. 257, the certificate necessary to enable them to punish the bank rupt. lof course granted it, and I was then asked by a creditor who had been wantonly put to expense to grant . him a similar one also. To this it was objected for the bankrupt, that as I had granted a certificate for the as signees I could not, under c. 257, grant another to an individual creditor, first, because the language of the clause was in the alternative " on the application of the assignees or of a creditor;" and secondly, because it was inconsistent with old and recognised principles that a debtor should be in execution at the suit of two persons for the same dfibt, which the bankrupt would be it' imprisoned by the assignees as trustees for all the creditors, and again by one of the cre ditors for whom such assignees were trustees, I hav e carefully considered both these - objections, and am of opinion that there is no weight in either of them. As to the latter, namely , that it is contrary to recognised 1 principles that a debtor should be thus imprisoned, the answer is that the object of this imprisonment is not to compel, payment (even instantaneous payment would not end the imprisonment), the object is punishment; and dl no application here. Athe language of the ti clause, gattob et amihlneg first so, o t oh f be j o oe p el i dt n i ioonn' prin ciple f othatund f ounded he true meaning of the must rliu grant ainent must have the certifi cebaleaitune g s t e o p i u s a ' n i t i l s h h a w m t h t e o h n e t a C o p t o p T h y m e . g i s u T s i s b a j ec tof th e enac tm en t in tended that all who would assist in inflicting:that punish ment should receive the utmost possible assistance, for no evil can arise from the reasonable punishment of the guilty. If this Court were to hold otherwise it would lay itself open to fraudulent devices, through which the guilty might escape. Under the present system of electing assignees, assignees in league with the bankrupt may be easily elected, as they often have been, and in all such Iy ask for th e certifi hus the ends of public it, and would cases ctha et en tttoahk eeprevent assigneesotothers e l d f to i , n ma s t o a obtaining instantly justice would be defeated. Such frauds were formerly fiats, whilst only committed llo a w s etdotocoemxitsetissait a time. Th ey were takenloners and out by persons in league with the debtor to prevent their being taken ont by persons really hostile. It would be a moat dangerous interpretation of this new law to expose it to such evasions. On the other hand no mischief can arise from the issue of any num ber of certificates, fur all can lead but to one impri sonment, and that imprisonment will cease when the Court is of opinion that it ought to Cease, having regard to the offences of which the bankrupt may appear to have been guilty. Upon the whole, therefore, I feel my self bound to grant a second certificate to the individual creditor. MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16i per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17e. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change cf 25.56; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.50, it follows that gold is 0.24 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By adrices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4351 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17e. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.10/; and the ex change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.101, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent, and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exChange is - nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of Eng land, and after making allowance 'for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. The General Board of Health has just issued its re port on the second point to which its attention was di rected by the Royal Commission, viz., " The better sup ply of the metropolis with water for domestic use, fur flushing sewers and drains, and for cleansing streets; and also the best means of using existing works, and of erecting any new works requisite, and maintaining them in action." The vast population of this metropolis is in the hands of seven companies, end taking the data fur nished by themselves, there appear to be 17,456 houses »holly unsupplied with water. Where inqiiries have been made for sanitary purposes, in den•ety populated, districts, upwards of 13 per cent. of the houses have been found to have been unsupplied with pipe water; in large districts five, four, and three per cent. There are 1,181 cases of supply by stand-pipes, serving for several houses, often for a whole court or alley. In many in ' stances, the supply by one butt in a yard, or-area, is equivalent only to a supply by a common stand-pipe to several houses in a court or alley. SUPPLY TO THE METROPOLIS.—The gross daily quantity of water pumped into the metropolis amounts to upwards of 44,000,000 of gallons. It is, however, shown in the report that the averap daily consumption 0 4 the whole metropolitan population of 2,000,000 does not amount to more than 20,000,000 gallons of water, or 10 gallons per individual per day. The residue—viz., 20,000,000 of gallons—therefore run s to was t e . EFFECTS OF IMPURE WATER.—Mr, Chalice, aSUP. geon of Bermondsey, attributes the first fatal case of cholera he met with to the effects of the Thames water. The master of a vessel at Gravesend had drank rather largely over night, and " the next morning drank heartily from one of the water-casks which had just been filled with Thames water; he was soon after at tacked with purging and voaiting. I went down post and found him just dead. I foun that the death was so sudden that it almost appeared as if he had taken poison in the water; subsequently it was, from facts that came almost hourly under notice, that I formed the opinion of the direct consequences of taking impure water in producing a disordered state of the bowels, and those who had such a state of the bowels were pre eminently in a condition to become victims to the disease." The larger portion of this metropolis is sup plied from this tainted source. The mode of distribu tion is very objectionable, and most especially in the poorer districts. The supply of water is inter mittent—it is " let on" once in twenty-four hours, or once in forty-eight hours, as the case may be. This necessitates the adoption of tanks in the houses of the rich, and of tubs or barrels in those of the poor, to receive and retain as much as is deemed requisite. Amongst the most serious evils attending upon this system is the filthy and polluted state of the cisterns and butts into which it is received, and of the vessels in which it is generally kept in the dwellings of the poorer classes. The cistern or butt is usually uncovered, and exposed to all the dust and smut that are continually flying about even in the cleanest parts of a large city. I Nava heard ," says Dr. Milroy, " more than one person say that they have seen people actually rinsing chamber pots in the water which their neighbours drank and used for cooking. When the cistern is outside the house it is liable to the same horrible pollution, parties who live in the upper rooms emptying everything out of their windows into the court behind, the cistern being usually placed there between the ashpit and the privy. " CHARACTER OF SUPPLY.—The impurity of Thames water has been abundantly proved, both by chemical analysis and by the microscope. Thames water is not only unfit for drinking, bat is also unfit for domeistic uses. ADVANTAGES OF SOFT WATER.—These aro princi pally the gain in fuel, in consequence of there being less time required to cook vegetables—often the saving of tea, as the same quantity that would produce three cups only with hard, will furnish five of the same strength with soft water; and also that a much larger quantity of soap is wasted when it is used with herd water. QUALITIES OF TEAT FLUID.—The Commissioners consider that the qualities for the water supply of the population range themselves in the following order:— "1. Freedom from all animal and vegetable matter, especially matter in a state of decomposition. 2. Pure aeration. 3. Softness. 4. Freedom from earthy, mineral, or other foreign matters. 5. Coolness in delivery, at a medium temperature, neither warm in summer nor ex cessively cold in winter. 6. Limpidity, or clearness." And, as popular tests have laid it down that all special flavour or taste in water, the slightest smell, the slightest shade of colour, are objectionable, they consider that, under the most favourable circumsthnces, the Thames water could not be rendered wholesome. GATHERING GROUNDS FOR SIIPPLIf.—After the most careful examinatiorrof a great number of places near the metropolis, Bagahot Heath teemed to be the spot most fitted by nature and by circnmstances as the receptacle of the greater proportion of collected water for the supply of London. The portion of this dis trict to which their attention was more particularly directed comprises an area of less than a hundred square miles, lying east and west of a line from Begshot to Farnham. The remaining distict, which, although of the same bleak and barren character, is of dif ferent geological c - mstruetion, consisting of the upper and lower green sands arid gault of the green sand tor:- mation, which constitute the uncultivated sand districts draining into the east and west tributaries of the river Vey, is situated south of the chalk ridge, in the midst of which the town of Guilford stands. At this point the specimens collected at the surface immediately after the rainfall aro of the highest degree of purity, being in large quantities not exceeding one degree of hardness; while that portion of the rain water, also, which filters through an upper stratum of sand in parts of the district, and appears again at lower levels, after passing through a few feet of the upper stratum, is of an equal degree of purity. It should be added, that the report under notice states that the improvement of most of these tracts has hitherto been given up in despair, and that the growth of fir is recommended as the only agricultural purpose for which they are fitted. EXPENSE OF SYSTEM.—The quantity of water re quired per diem to meet the present demand is 40,000,000 gallons, and by the proposed mode of ob taining water 90,000,000 would be obtained, and the gross approximate estimate of expense would be 2,142,0001., giving an average charge in the metropolis of rid. per house per week, against which the present cost of repairing drains and emptying cesspools, &c., must be set off. The Commissioners have embodied their conclusions, together with a concise exposition of the facts them selves, in certain resolutions which we give verbatim " QUALITY OF THE WATER. " 1. That for domestic use it is inferior to the average quality of waters supplied to towns. " 2. That its inferiority as a supply for domestio use arises chiefly from an excess of hardness. "3. That even when taken above the reach of pollution from the sewers of the metropolis, it contains an excess, varying with the season, of animal and vege- table matter. • " 4. That although the latter cause of inferiority may be, in part, removed or corrected by filtration, the excess of hardness will still remain, rendering this water espe cially unfit for tha following uses ; namely, for cleans ing the skin, and for the ordinary purposes of washing, by occasioning an excessive consumption of soap; for the preparation of tea, by occasioning waste to a like extent; and for all culinary processes, by diminishing their efficiency, and increasing their expense. "5. That the quality of the water of the river Lea and of the New River is, in this respect, no better than that of the Thames water, taken beyond the influence of the sewage of the metropolis. " 6. That the water taken by the Lambeth Company from the Thames opposite Hungerford Market is charged with animal and vegetable impurities, apparently the effect of the discharge of sewer water, which render it wholly unfit for use, and highly dangerous to the health of the persons who drink it, "7. That of the seven principle companies by which pipe water is conveyed to the metropolis, four deliver it without previous filtration. "8. That the defects in the quality of the water at present supplied, when collected in its least objection able condition, and the evils arising from its distribution in the unfiltered state, are all aggravated by the practice of intermittent distribution. "a. Ttat the praetiCeOfintermittent distribution oc• casions, in the case of the better description of houses, the retention of the water in cisterns and butts, and in that of the poorest classes, in tubs, pitchers, and such other vesels as can be obtained; and, as a consequence of such retention the water imbibes soot and dirt, and absorbs the polluted air of the town, and of the offen sively close, crowded, and unhealthy localities and rooms in which the poor reside. " 10. That from the inferiority of the water at its source as at present collected, and from the additional pollution and deterioration occasioned by the mode of its distribution, a large proportion of the population is rendered averse to the daily use of water as a beverage, and is inclined and almost forced to the use of fermented liquors and ardent spirits to an extent greatly beyond the consumption of such drinks where purer water is more accessible. " 11. That the annual cost of the construction and maintenance in repair of cisterns and their supports and conneAed apparatus in the houses of the middle and wealthier classes often exceeds the annual water-rate. " 12. That the cost of the pipe-water supply and the additional expense and inconvenience resulting from the present mode of its distribution cause the population in some suburban districts to resort for water to open ditches, and in other crowded localities to shallow springs or wells; sources which are subject to increasing pollution from cesspools, from badly constructed house drains and sewers, and from over-crowded graveyards. " 13. That the localization and intensity of cholera in such districts as those alluded to was promoted in a most marked manner by the use of water containing decom posing animal and vegetable matter derived from sewers, drains, and other impure sources. " 14. That the districts most severely visited by epi demic cholera, as well as those most afflicted by ordinary epidemic diseases, are low-lying districts, where, from the defective state of the drainage, there is an excess of damp and of putrid decomposition; and that such excess of damp is aggravated by the waste of water attendant on the intermittent mode of supply; a waste which appears to exceed the whole of the annual rainfall on the inha bited arta of the metropolis. " 17. That the inconvenicnen Np2rehended from the interruption f supply during repairs 40d elteratioos ate never experienced, the work being executed under such simple precautions that no complaint has ever been known to have been made on thi s account. 18. T " constantl y heaxt the perien i ee nt d er o r n up i t h i e ons of supply, intermitten which tsystem ar mfr e so om the waste in the lower districts, from the neglect 'of turncoeks, from limitation of quantity, from inadequate or leaky butt; and cisterns, or from deranged ballcocks, art scarcely ever known on the constant system. " 19. That the syctem of constant supply admits of great economy in pipes, a 4 they may under that system for the most part be considerably smaller, and, not being subject to the violent hydraulic jerks of the intermittent system, are less liable to burst. " 20. That the pipes for the house service may not only be considerably smaller and cheaper, but that the cisterns and apparatus co.inected therewith, which, in the smaller class of houses, now cost more than the whole public portion of the works, may bi entirely dis pensed with. "QUANTITY REQUISITE. "In respect to the quantity of water actually supplied and to the quantity needed for the domestic use of the metropolitan population, and fur other purposes, we hare to report— " That in consequence of statements made by several of the companies of the quantities of the water which they pumped fir the use of the metropolis, quantities. which appeared to be incensistent with the known habits of the population and the apparent amount of water consumed for domestic purposes, we deemed it desirable to cause the consumption of water in different districts, by different classes of the population, to be gauged front the cisterns and butts, and also the run through iause-drains and sewers on days when there was no rainf4ll. " From these observations it appears— " 21. That, whereas it was returned, in 1832, that the avorage quantity of water delivered to their respective customers by the several companies was 220 gallons per house or dwelling ; and more recently, as returned to us, was stated to be 164 gallons per house or dwelling ; that • is, 44 millions .of gallons per diem f or t h e w h o l e o f t h e metropolis — making allowances for a considerable and injurious waste of water by permeation through badly constructed channels, the results of the gaugings of the run of water through drains and sewers, on days when there is no rainfall, do not appear materially to differ from the later statements of the several companies as to the quantity of water which is actually pumped into their several dis tricts; while from the gaugings of the quantities of water consumed from cisterns and butts during the intervals of the intermittent delivery, and from the capacity of the storage receptacles themselves, it appears that the average daily consumption does not exceed five gallons per head on the population; and that, with all allow ances for the quantities used for manufactures, steam engines, and other purposes, the gross quantity con sumed does not exceed one-halt of the quantity deli vered. 22. That this, waste is a consequence of the preient intermittent mode of supply; and dues not take place to any suoh extent where the constant system of supply has been substituted; and probably may be prevented altogether where the 'house service•pipes are property provided and arranged under a system of combined works. " 23. That this waste, as now ascertained by official investigation, appears to have gone on without any know ledge of its great amount on the part of the companies, although it involves a double expense of pumping, and extends, as above stated, the whole of the annual rainfall on the coveied-firea of the metropolis. " 24. That this waste is of no Equivalent benefit for the cleansing of house drains and sewers, inasmuch as, from the inaptitude of these works, owing to their bad construction, for the discharge of water containing matter in suspension, accumulations of decomposing matters do take place in them, to the great injury of the public health; accumulations which, notwithstanding the flow of the waste water through them, require to be cleared away by hand labour, by flushing, or by other means. " 25. That the . waste water, having sewer matter mixed up with it, permeates through the brick drains and sewers, saturates the sites of houses with polluted water, and keeps up an excess of moisture, which, rising into the porous and absorbing walls and plaster of the houses, contributes to render them damp even in tLe driest weather. " 26. That this excess of moisture is aggravated by the extreme defective drainage in the low-lying and worst-conditioned districts, where, as has been already stated, epidemic disease is almost invariably present, and where the recent visitation of epidemic cholera has been the most severe. " 27. That, taking into consideration the actual do mestic consumption of water by the population of the metropolis, regarding also the extent of the increased supplies needed for the various purposes of sanitary im provement not hitherto contemplated by companies, nor included in new schemes, all the engineering estimates put forward by private companies of the quantity of water required for the service of the population appear to be greatly in excess. " 28. That there appears to be no probable demand for a general average consumption of water exceeding the present rate for houses of the higher class—namely, about 75 gallons per house per diem, or in all 22 mil- lions of gallons per diem, inclusive of the increased sup ply which will be necessary on the abolition of cesspools; and that, estimating the additional requirements for baths, for street cleansing, for large consumers, for fires, and for other purposes, the whole quantity of water needed under an improved system of distribution does not exceed 40 millions of gallon' per diem. " 29. That it appears that the resolutions of parochial meetings and the statethents of the promoters of new companies, alleging a deficiency in the total amount of water already introduced, and proposing to bring in ad ditional supplies, have been made in ignorance of the actual present domestic consumption of the population, and of what is really needed, according to the best in formation, for the execution of practical measures of sanitary improvement. "30. That the several schemes which propose to bring in more water in addition to the quantity now wasted, and to make such additions mainly from the same sources which supply the water now generally consumed, with out reference to improvements in the systm of domestic distribution, and without combination with improved drainage works for the removal of the waste water, would aggravate the existing sanitary evils, and increase the excessive charges" already incurred for the defective works constructed in ignorance. the " increasedavin particularly quantities of an ing of drains and - sewers, and the working im proved system of drainage, we find— as that at find— "3l. That upon a system of draina ge decomposing sewers, which cause accumulation r s present in use, consisting of brick f the o intermittent de posits, there would be required, .for considerable re moval of those accumulations o e f xa se in a i t n e e ; ithe required statfeonir statements flaussbt additions to the present quant ities p p h i t o su ch u w s - t d e r r a pumpedi n s and in for the supply of t h e metropolis; yof but that any system which occasions the accumu lationof house or main draiese re e fu w se, i and renders necessary the itself highly inj ur ious of decom posingto the public health, and ought to That regent trial works have placed beyond doubt tbe"3solundne,s of the conclusion of the Metripolittso c b o e n p t r in ev u e a n n t c e e d. of the practice of intermittent flushing, is in Sanitary Commissioners, namely, that systematically adjusted tubular house drains and sewers are kept clear of deport by the force of the soil or sewer water alone, when conducted away at proper levels, and that no addi tion of water is required for this purpose. " SEWERAGE. " With reference to those extensive districts of the metropolis the levels of which are below high-water mark, where the sewer water is at present penned up until it can be discharged at low water, acid where putrefying deposit is accumulated in the sewers in consequence of the flow being arrested during high water, it appears— " 33. That it will require no addition of water, and certainly no increased expense in pumping, to cause such a continuous flow of the waste water as will pre vent deposit, and that this prevention of deposit is the true object to be aimed at, and not the supply of addi tional quantities of water to remove, by flushing, de posit which ought not to have been allowed to accu mulate. "34. That besides the great injury to the public health from the ponding up of sewer water, and the con sequent conversion of large expansive sewers and reaer voirs into extended cesspools; and besides the waste of water and the expen,e of pumping it into the district for the removal of accumulations, the intermittent system of draining the districts below high water-mark by gravitation, without the aid of pumping for their relict, must necessitate the continued pollution of the Thames, and obstruct or delay the application of the refuse as manure. "35. That, except in extreme cases of absolute de ficiency, the pumping in of additional supplies of water, before properly constructed house drains are Lid down for its removal, would, by increasing dsmp, still further deteriorate the sanitary condition of the populi,tion, and occasion still greater dilapidations and injury to tene ments. That the separation of works of pipe-wa•er sup. ply from those fcr the removal ot waste watt r occasions delay in the execution of works if primary importance for sanitary improvements as well as increased expense. "37. That it appears that While the expense of sewers and drains is reduced by an improved tibuls• system of drainage, the expense of earthwork, ot ii ging, and o f ma ki ng good, i s one-half of the total g es.- pence, and that, therefore, the separate laying down of water-mains and drainage mains must frequently cause this last portion of the expense to be materially in creased. " 38. That, on these ground:, and on the principles already recognised, the only way of securing systematic works with economy and efficiency, as well as with the least delay, will be to consolidate under one and the same pub;ic management the whole works for the supply of water, and for the drainage of the metropelis. " 39. That it is essential to the economy and efficiency of all such works that the whole distributary apps, alp, small as well as large, service pipes, and house dra - na, together with water-mains, public drains and sJ wets, ahou:d be laid down under one system, and lola in no tion under one supervision. "40.

That the general iurv,y being now tsbfficieffily adtanctd, such wo:ks may be ixt cuted for separate di,. triets without wailing for 'he completion of auy gel, era! measure or plan of main sp%ers. "PROVISI , S FOR SUPPLY. . __ " Having corfidertd the t vult pee iu relation t the qua!ittes of the water rkquiite fur the supply of the metropolis, we find— `• 43. That in addition to the properties of clearness and freedom from animal .and vegetable matter which is apt to pass into decomposition and to prove injurious to health, one of the most essential properties of water is softr egg, or freedom from lime and other substances pro ductive of what is term• d hardness. " 43. That having made carefe,l and extensiveinquiti a, with the aid of the department of the .Ordnance Geological Survey, as to the most suitable sources of supply, having had those districts which appeared t r be the most eligible specially examine l by our engineering inspectors, with other aid, we find, upon their unanimous testimony, that from a tract of upwards of 150 square miles of gathering ground, there is derivable a supply nearly double the present actual domestic consumption, of a quality varying from one -tenth to one-third the hardness of Thames water, and of a purity quailing the general average r•f the improved soft water supplies of the districts which have yet been brought under ex amination. "44. That water obtained from siliceous sands, such as those which cover the tract above described, is proved to be of a quality only equalled is excellence by the water derived from mountain grantite rocks, or slate rocks, or other surfaces of the primitive formations. "45. That upon the best estimates which have been obtained, this water may be brought to the metropolis, and delivered pure and filtered into each house on the system of constant supply at high pressure, and at the same time, on the plan of combined works, the waste water may be removed by a proper system of drainage, at a rate not exceeding a❑ average of 3d. or 4d. per week per house, or from 30 to 50 per cent. less than the present charges for defective water supply alone. "4C. That the saving in soap, from the use of soft water in the operation of washing (the expense of wash ing line❑ and other clothes being estimated at an average of Is. per head p-r week to be nearly 5,000,000!. per annum of the population of the metropolis) would be probably equivalent to the whole of the money expended at present in the water supply. "47. That the saving in tea from the use of soft water may be estimated at about one-third of the tea con sumed in the metropolis. "4S. That other culinary operations would be much facilitated by the use of soft water. "49. That soft wafer is peculiarly suitable for baths as well as for washing. " 50. That sef. water would prevent those incrusta tions and d,po,its in boilers and pipes which render ha-d water unsuitable for manufacturing purposes. " RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMISSION. " We therefore advise the rejection of alt the schemes promoted by water companies or by parochial vestries and associations which adopt, as sources of supply, the Thames stud its tributaries of the same degree of hard ness, %ells and springs from the chalk or other forma tions which impart the quality of hardness. " And further, whilst we believe that Thames water taken up beyond the influence of the metropolitan drain age and filtered, may be used without injury to the pub lic health, and may be employed temporarily until other sources can be laid under contribution, we advise that Themes water, and other water of like quality us to hardness, be as early as practicable abandoned. " In respect to the existing companies which have no property in any sources of water supply, but whose capital is invested in engines and distributory apparatus, we recommend that their plants should be pureha-ed, but we are not prepared to recommend any pre-appointed trims of purchase; and we find— " 51. That if the management of the water supply be consolidated, five, if not six, out of the seven principle pumping establishments may he diicontinued, and an expenditure of from 80,0001. to 100,0001. per annum saved by consolidating the management of these works and connecting them with combined works of than:lege and sewerage, and that further reductions may be made in the expenses of these latter estallishments. " Having considered, as required under the Metro politan Sanit%ry Commission, the means of ,upplying water to extinguish fires, and having examined the practical experieAce of improved I%oiks in relation thereto in other towns, v,e find— " 52. That the hide quacy of the supplies of water under the intermittent system occasions greet danger to life and property, but that by arrangements which are practicable under a system of constant supply at high pressure, the whole force of the ssat-q- in the mains may be brought to bear at any point for extinguishing fires in from one to five minutes, or in about one-fourth the time that it takes the bt st appointed fire-engines now LO gain the spot and be in action after the alarm of fire has been given. " 53. That, judging from the experience of various paces where improved arrangements have been put in practice, it appears that by the general adoption of these arrangements more than two thirds of the fires which now occur in the metropolis may be extinguished before any extensive damage takes place. 54. That the insurance risks on life and property may be diminished in a yet greater proportion. " 55. That the crime of incendiarism may be checked, and that these consequences alone, wore there no other advantages to be obtained, would render it worth while to make the change from the intermittent to the constant system. " 56. That these advantages may be best given by the same means by which a more perfect and cheaper surface cleansing of courts, alloys, foot-pavements, and carriage ways than that by hand may be effected, namely, by jets of water distributed under high pressure.
