THE COUNT] The following is the official corn, &c., received in the pc Essex, from the 10th Nov., both inclusive :—. PROJECTED CITY IMPROVEMENTS. [0 wing to a press of matter the following has been omitted :---] A few days since a numerous auditory assembled in the Egyptian-hall of the Mansion-house, to hear a lecture delivered by Mr. Charles Pearson, on his plan for improving the city of London by effecting a com munication between the centre of the City and the northern, eastern, and western lines of railway, as suggested by him in 1833, 1837, and 1845. Amongst fly:se present we observed the Lord Mayor; Alder men Sir G. Carroll, Sir John Key, Sir .T. Duke, Salomons, Wilson, Farebrother, Moon, Lawrence, Hooper, Finnis ; the Common Sergeant, Sheriff Cot terell, Under-Sheriff Millard, Deputies Harrison, Bedford, Fenning, Kebbell, Larkin, Wright, Lske, Tyler, Stevens, Hicks, Stacey, Evans, Smith, Cock, &c. A model of the proposed improvement, covered from sight, was placed on a table before the chair. may op er atio be n . protected t t z o l m e unnecessary ion nience, by obt a i n i ng good a-}oroaches. to the s-ta i bcootheLondnocnavned time, and by pr ov idi ng for the r e -adjustment of the streets th a t m i g h t be disturbeds't hadby bp t u h e et titioned to ha ve t erm i n i i n Forringdon-North-Wester n , and anew m Proposed t o be formed, ca ll e d th e Direct AlariChe Y ste r both of them aband on ed th e d es i gn, no doul l o . t eet'l in sequence of the changed appearance of things. his plan was referred to the commissioners appointed to inquire into the railway plans as affecting the city of London, consisting of Lord Canning, the Ear; of Dalhousie, Lord Mayor Johnson, and Sir C. P. Smith, who spoke of it as follows :—"Mr. C. Pearson has brought under our notice a project which it would appear has long occupied his attention, for forming a grand central terminus in Farringdon-street. He recommends a trunk railway, consisting of three or four double lines, to run from Battle-bridge to his proposed grand terminus in Farringdon-street, for the use of such companies as shall desire to have a terminus in the centre of the City, and shall be inclined to contri.. bute fairly to its formation. H© would carry the line of railway between two rows of houses he proposes to build, so as to form a wide handsome street, one hundred feet wide and eight thousand six hundred feet in length; the railway to be arched over, so as to support the pavement of the street, and be on a level with the ground-floors of the houses," The commissioners went on to say that he (Mr. Pearson) proposed a very ingenious arrangement of the terminus, but that his plan was open to the same objection as applied to all other City ;termini, and therefore not to be recommended. The reason assigned was, that railroads carried towards the focus of business ought rather to be encouraged on the southern side of the Thames, the property there being of less value, and it not being probable that any great improvements would be interfered with. This, how ever, he did not think a very sufficient or satisfactory ground, and he would appeal to the whole company if the district from Farringdon to Clerkenwell, through which he proposed to carry his line of rail and street, was not as bad as the worst rookery of the borough. —(Hear, hear.) In place of the plan he advocated, that recommended by Sir Willoughby Gordon, on the ground of its being necessary for the concentra tion of troops in case of invasion, for a line connecting the North-Western Railway with the West India Docks, which he (Mr. Pearson) called the leave -out London line, was adopted and carried out. The events which had occurred since 1845 had strength ened the conviction he before entertained of the practicability, utility, and profitable character of the unnertaking ; and being firmly convinced that the Improvements Committee and the Corporation were right in adopting the resolutions he had quoted, he had watched for the first favourable opportunity of bringing the plan again under consideration. He had had plans and models prepared for its illustration at his own cost and charges, and disclaimed any per sonal object in the matter beyond the wish to dis charge his duty to the Corporation, and to promote the interests of his fellow-citizens.—(Cheers.) He had likewise taken care to have all the surveys and designs ready for an application to Parliament in the approaching session, and if the Corporation felt now as they felt in 1845, he made no doubt they would be successful, and that the project would be taken up by the public, and carried into execution, even if the railway companies principally interested in obtaining the advantages it would afford should from any cause be induced to withhold their countenance or support. He was ready to abide by the report of any impartial and independent engineers and surveyors whom the Corporation might choose to investigate the merits of his plan. Let there be no monopoly to one particular company, but let a trunk line be constructed acces sible to all parties who should contribute towards the expenses of its formation soul of the alterations that would be required in the surrounding streets. Now or never was the time, for the Government had just determined on taking the construction of the new street from Farringdon to Clerkenwell, which had been left to lie unfinished for ten to fifteen years, out of the hands of the Commissioners en trusted with it, and placing it in those of the Corpo ration of London. For himself he asked no pecuniary advantage ; he was wholly and solely influenced by a desire to be useful in his day and generation, and to evince his attachment to the citizens of London, in whose service thirty-five years of his life had been spent.—(Cheers.) He would be content if, a few years after the completion of the plan, the share holders voted to himself or his representatives what ever compensation they might pronounce him to hare been deserving of. The model alluded to by Mr. Pearson, and con structed under the superintendence of Mr. Stevens, architect, son of Deputy Stevens, was then uncovered. It was neatly framed in wood, exhibiting the disposi tion of the streets and buildings, and the course of the trunk line, with termini and goods receiving houses in Farringdon-street. The following is the description of it : "The model is constructed with mathematical accu racy and precision to a scale, both vertical and horizon tal, of one inch to twenty feet. " It comprehends the w bele of the district extending (north and south) from Coldbath-fields Prison to Bridge street, Blackfriars; and (east and west) from Shoe-lane and Saffron-hill to the Old Bailey and Turnmill-street. The model is surrounded by a coloured map to the same seale, showing the continuation of the improvement, and its effects upon the adjacent locality from Chancery lane to Cheapside. " To effect the suggested improvement, it is proposed to occupy the valley of the Fleet from Holborn-bridge to King's-cross, by constructing branch lines for pas sengers to the City from the Great Western and the Northern Railroads, together with sidings running from the main lines, and conveying meat, poultry, roots, and vegetables (without changing carriages or traversing the streets), to wholesale markets to be erected over the line close to the City. These markets may, by these means, be rendered far more commodious and more easily and conveniently approachable than the great provision markets which are about to be constructed in the centre of the French metropolis, at a cost of above a million sterling. The plan also provides extensive receiving-houses close to the City north of Holborn. bridge, to be built over other sidings from the main lines, for loading the carriages with goods to be sent direct by rail, in substitution of the railway receiving houses in Lad-lane, Lawrence-lane, Basing-lane, the Old Bailey, and other narrow and confined thorough fares in the City, where goods are now received, un loaded, reloaded, and reconveyed through the over crowded streets and lanes in their way to the distant railway stations at - Paddington, Camden-town, and King's-cross.

LONDON OFFICE —4, ROYAL EXCHANGE BUILDINGS. HUGH M'KEAN, Agent. The LORD MAYOR said, having been requested by their friend the City Solicitor to take the chair pro forma upon this occasion, he did so with great plea sure, believing that their friend had something to ex hibit, and wishing to give him an opportunity of fully explaining the objects of his proposed plan of improve ments. He should be most happy to do anything in his power to advance any plan that would be for the I general interest of the City, of the metropolis gene rally, and the vast and populous districts surrounding it.—(Cheers.) Having said thus much, he would beg to retire to his public duties, leaving it to the company to appoint a chairman. His Lordship then withdrew, and on the motion of Mr. DAKIN, Sir G. Carroll took the chair. Mr. PEARSON commenced by observing that he should indeed be the vainest coxcomb upon earth if he invited gentlemen to leave their business at this hour of the day to come there merely to gratify their sense of sight by looking at a model, however beau tiful it might be ; but he had to explain to that as sembly a project which he believed was destined to render the most important benefits to the City, and he must pray them to give him their attention to some preliminary observations before he uncovered the model. He felt very deeply the responsibility that rested upon him for the part he had taken in this matter, and he had therefore adopted a course unusual with him in writing down some heads of his dis course, in order that they might stand on record to be brought forward for examination at some future day. He had no right to challenge the attention of the corporation of London, whose servant he was, upon a matter affecting the interest of the citizens, unless he brought before them a project which had , received the closest attention, and could bear the minutest scrutiny. It was the first duty of a public officer implicitly to obey the orders of those for whom he acted, and he had no sympathy with an indi vidual who, holding a situation under any public body, should allow himself wantonly, impertinently, or capriciously, to travel out of the strict line and rou tine of duty devolving upon him, and diverge into other subjects with which he had no concern; but he thought he should show to the corporation, and to that assembly, that the circumstances under which he addressed them fully warranted the course he had taken. When a young man, he had been in the habit of speaking of the city of London in florid and glowing terms, as the first city of the first nation in the world, and the queen of European capitals ; he would, however, now restrict himself to a common sense and commercial view of matters, and would set out with the proposition that the city of London, with an area of rather less than a square mile, contained land and buildings valued at upwards of 40,000,0001. sterling, the more limited district of " the walls within" containing about three-fourths of that amount. His second proposition was, that this enor mous property derived its principal value from the fact that the City was in the centre of the metropolis of the United Kingdom, and contained within its walls the principal national, commercial, and mone • tary establishments of the country, which agp the objects of daily resort to persons of all classes , all parts, not of the metropolis alone, but of the kingdom at large. Every one who was in the habit of traversing the streets of London would agree to his next proposition, that the omnibuses and other vehicles daily passing in the City had increased during the last few years to a seriously inconvenient extent.— (Cries of " Hear, hear.") He believed that this increased number of vehicles might be ascribed to various causes; first, the in creased numb. r of distant railroad termini, rendering it necessary for all City passengers to come from the stations to their places of destination in omnibuses or cabs, instead of walking, as they might do if set down at points in the centre of business ; second, the in creasing practice of merchants, traders, and others carrying on business in the City, to reside out of town, and to be daily conveyed as regularly as the flux and reflux of the tide, through the streets to and from their places of trade ; third, the establishment of railway receiving houses for gods in several narrow but importaut thoroughfares, choking up the streets, particularly at hours when the free passage of the streets was most needed for other purposes ; fourth, the increased extent of the metropolitan suburbs, whose population, numbering upwards of 2,000,000, were principally supplied with provisions from the City wholesale markets.—(Hear, hear.) The fifth proposition he laid down was, that these causes of the overcrowding of the streets were still in action, and progressing with accumulative force. The returns of traffic showed that the passengers by the various me tropolitan lines of railway exceeded week by week the corresponding weeks of former years. The dis position for suburban residences was daily extending itself to the humblest classes who valued comfort and health, which caused an immense increase in the number of passengers conveyed; whilst 'the goods traffic by railroads was daily augmented as the trade of the City increased. Again, the demands of sub urban districts upon our wholesale markets were mul tiplying as the metropolitan population increased, which the census returns showed that it did at the rate of 20 per cent. in each period of ten years. Be sides the [augmented numbers of other vehicles that daily entered the City, it was an ascertained fact that, during the last twenty years, omnibuses to or through the City had increased at least 4 per cent. annually, thus swelling their numbers in a compound ratio. If the causes of increase continued undimi nished, and some aotive and efficacious means were not taken to counteract their operation, what disas trous results to the City, its trade and property, might :not be predicted as certain to be witnessed within the next cycle of twenty or forty years.— (Hear, hear.) It was true that the Thames steam boats, and the Greenwich, Croydon, and Blackwell Railways, which daily brought tens of thousands of passengers into or close to the focus of business in the City, had done much to mitigate the evil, for otherwise they would have seen London-bridge blocked up, and some of the principal streets rendered impas sable.—(Hear, bear.) The widening of Canon street, for which the Corporation was nobly spending 500,0001. from its own funds, would give a southern line into the City, and thus diminish the crowding of Cheapside, but it would still leave Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, Newgate-street, and the northern, eastern, and western districts of the City without any relief.—(Hear.) He fearlessly affirmed that nothing but the establishment of railway stations for the ad mission of City passengers from the North-Western, Great Western, and Northern lines, and a cheap trunk line for the accommodation of the inhabitants of the suburbs in those quarters, could stay the progress of overcrowding in the streets, which threatened so fatally the prosperity of the City.—(Hear.) The plan he proposed was based upon this principle, and intended to secure these objects, as he would presently explain. When a member of the Corporation several years' ago, he had foreseen and foretold the state of things at which we had now arrived, and had devised his present project to counteract the injurious effects he anticipated as certain to arise ; but the prejudices that then prevailed against railroads in towns pre vented its adoption: In 1845 he again brought it forward, and upwards of 2,000 of the City firms petitioned the Court of Common Council in its favour. On the 20th October of that year, the Improvement Committee, composed of the leading members of the Common Council, to whom the sub ject had been referred for consideration, passed a re solution " that in our opinion it is desirable, for the prosperity and advantage of the citizens of London, to have railway termini within the City," tud cn the 3d. November the committee reported their decision to the Court of Common Council, who were pleased to adopt the following resolutions :—" That this Court doth agree with the committee in the report, and that it be an instruction to the committee to ob tain from any companies, and lay before this Court, plans, sections, elevations, and models, showin g the manner in which the streets, pa vements, and sewers will be affected by any contemplated alteration within the limits of the City ; an d th at the cnmmittee do r port whether any and what arrangements have been made to prevent monopoly, and to secure to the public the utmost amount of railroad accommodation that can be obtained by stations in Parringdon-street, ton' sistentiy with a due regard to the trade of the City and the convenience of the public. 2. That it is the opinion of this Court that any alterations which may be approved 4f oug ht t o be carried out by or under the direction of a committee of this Court, so fur ES the clearing of the ground and the adjustment of the streets and sewers are concerned, so that the public a m "The plan likewise provides a great trunk line of double rails to bring omnibus passengers by rail from Paddington and the northern suburbs of the metropolis to the vicinity of Farringdon-street. This lino will be so arranged that, with profit and without obstruction or inconvenience in the streets, 20,000 of the clerks, agents, small tradesmen, warehouse porters, artisans, mechanics, and others who resort daily to the City for the pur poses of trade, may be conveyed every morning and evening to and from the country, within a radius of seven miles, at a yearly charge of 31. each. " The suggested railway (as the model shows) is un like all other railways in town. With all the multitu dinous useful objects it proposes to accomplish, it is not either unsightly, dangerous, or injurious. It interrupts no thoroughfares; it intercepts no prospects; it inter feres with no drainage and no ventilation in the public streets. It does not, like the Blackwell Railway, soar above the roofs of the adjoining houses; nor does it, as at Liverpool, undermine their foundations. It will not cross other lines, as the railways now constructing in Birmingham will do, alternately overleaping each other, somrtimes mounting on a viaduct forty feet high, and sometimes quarrying into rocks thirty feet deep. It will not cross over roads as at Hampstead, or over streets as at the Minories. It will not leave filthy wastes at the sides, like the Greenwich and South-Western lines. " The proposed plan will either entirely remove all that is ugly, or place it underground and out of sight ; Conspi cuous. it will raise all that i s b eaut if u l and render it o The site o n w hi c h t h e main line is t b e - structed seems to h ave b een formed by nature andcorne: served by man for the express purpose to which it is now proposed to apply it. " The proposed project, if carried into execution, in stead of impeding will greatly facilitate all o th er mo d es of inter-com mun i cat i on; it proposes to lay th e severa l street lines of railw a y un d er a new to be constructed 100 feet wide, and intersecting the metropolis King's cross to Holborn-bridge. It likewise provide froui trans verseKing's-_ streets on th e hi gh level, and so unite the s of the m e t ropo li s, east and west, which are now sepa rated by the ravine that yawns between them. Ile pro posed plan will raise the valley at Holborn -bridge 17 feet 6 inches, and place Holborn-hill, and Skinner -street upon a level plane. It will likewise re• movo the obstructions of New ate-street by taking away the carcase market to a spot where there will be ample space, and where the meat and other ar ticles will be brought in by underground railroad con vey ance. " The plan will likewise effect an underground con nexion between tha Post-office and the railway stations, by which the use of Post-office vans will be superseded, and in the space of three minutes the letter-bags may be passed to and from the station, so that half an hour at least may be daily saved in every post that arrives at or leaves London, as far as three-fourths of the United Kingdom is concerned. " The model shows how Farringdon-market, which cost upwards of 200,0001., and produces nothing, may be rendered of great value, and how the site of ,the Fleet Prison, which has been so long unused, may be made to produce valuable ground-rents, and assist in relieving the overcrowded state of the Old Bailey and Ludgate- 5 I Larked t 'oat Station to all parts of London BLACKWALL, on the arrival of 10 Fenchurch•street Station.

" In order to illustrate with more clearness and preci sion than could be otherwise done thoeffect which railway traffic has upon the ordinary transit of vehicles and foot' - passengers through the public streets, the carriage roads(' and pavements, shown on the model, exhibit numerous carriage and foot passengers, made precisely to scale, and arranged in point of Lumbers by a table prepared from the reports of traffic tables ac all the metropolitan railway stations." Mr. PEARSON dwelt at considerable length on the principal features of the model,,pointing out the ed vantges in the public economy of London which wool() follow from the removal of Newgate market, the erection a meat and vegc•table markts more than four times a ix!ensive, the providing passenger sta tions and goods receiving houses on the most exten sive scale, and the opening up new lines of street from north to south and east to wet, relieving the now choked up thoroughfares.

" We, the undersigned members of the Court of Com mon Council, request your Lordship will convene a Court on an early day to consider Mr. Charles Pearson'a comprehensive plan for improving the metropolis, parti cularly the city of London, by levelling the intended new street from Farringdon-street to Clerkena ell, by raising it on a level with the high ground of the adja cent streets, and extending it to King's-cross; by con structing a trunk railway on a well lighted and ventilated sub-way und e r the surface of the street, connecting the northern rail wa y s a nd northern'suburbs of the.metropolia with termini i n F ar ringdon-street and the new street; by lifting H o lb orn va ll ey sev e nteen feet, nearly on a level with Holborn-hill an d :S now -hill ; an d by removing the wholesale meat an d vegeta b le mar k ets, an d t h e ra il wa y on r v o d r t n r e r w n r e aai f r s co t streets We t en willd likewise the be relieved northern request o s f ti a carriers' recei v i ng -h ouses, f rom the i r present con fi ne d and inco nven i ent s i tuations to spacious sites i n t h e new street, by whi c h means, as Mr. Pearson asserts, the oe r i c a o r dd r a e d the railway w aggons and tho omnibuses from the h tropolis, which now th rong the City and impede the y tr b u l y a ro r b g usr e opfo the Lordshiprti o n m of me tropolis, . will insert on the summons convening the meeting no tices of the specific motions it may be intended to pro pose for the consideration of the Court." The motions alluded to were as follow : "By Mr. Thomas Dakin—' To present a memorial from Mr. Charles Pearson upon the subject of the rail way terminus.' " By Mr. Deputy Harrison—' That it be referred to a Ward Committee, now to be appointed, to consider in detail the railway terminus and City improvement plan proposed by Mr. C. Pearson, in connexion with the re solution of this Court of the Sd of November, 1845, and to inquire into the desirability, p rac ti ca bility, and cost thereof, and to report their opinion to this Court; and that, pending the foregoing inquiry, the committee be empowered to give the necessary Parliamentary notices in the Gazette and the newspapers, to enable the Court to act thereon in the approaching session, if, after re ceiving the report of the committee, they shall determine to do so." Mr. DAHIN, on being called upon, said that he had no doubt but that it would save time if the memorial which he had but a few minutes before received, were at once read. The memorial contained in a compressed form the various facts and argument so often reiterated by Mr. Pearson, and which have so recently been re ported in the ordinary channels of information. The memorial concluded with the following paragraphs : " Your mernuiialkt humbly prays your Hon. Court to refer this matter to a eJrnmitter, befero whom he may be allowed to prove the foregoing facts, or such of them as may be thought important to the inquiry —your me morialist undertaking likewise to prove that a commit tee of citiz , ns, influenced by public and not pecuniary considerations, aro willing, pending the inquiry, to take upon themselves to provide for all necessary proceed ings, preparatory to the approaching session, and to keep the control thereof in their own hands, ready to be deli vered over to public commissioners or the corporation, if it shall be thought desirable to carry out the projected improvements in the manner suggested in the Railway Commissioners' report. Your memorialist likewise un dertakes to lay before any committee that may be ap pointed by your lion. Court, the evidence of competent, practical, professional men, to prove that the whole of the objects specified in the requisition may be accom plished, and that the neceseary works may be completed ready for action within three years from the date of their commencement, and that not a single sewer or street need be stopped in the progress of the works until other drains and other streets are provided to divert the sewers and accommodate the inhabitants and passengers in the several thoroughfares both by vehicles and on foot. Your memorialist further undertakes to prove by satisfactory testimony, that if the railroad companies principally interested shall be willing to lease the pro jected lines and stations at moderate tolls (far less than the sums now paid by City passengers to their distant stations by the ordinary modes of conveyance), a fund may bo raised from this source and from ground rents of surplus ground more than sufficient to defray the entire cost cf constructing the railroad and stations and re adjusting the adjacent streets; and that if the existing railroad companies shall wholly or partially reject such a proposal, a company may be formed to execute the truck line to the northern suburbs of London, which by means of low faros and constant trains, will amply repay for the outlay of the required capital, if aided out of public funds with means to defray the cost of raising Holborn valley, and improving the streets to an extent commensurate with the advantages the public will de rive from the accommodation." Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said he wished to ask whe ther he rightly understood the Solicitor that there was some company formed prepared to carry the undertaking into execution if approved by the Court ? lie also desired to know what was the estimated cost ? The CITY SOLICITOR replied—He assured the Court, upon his honour, that there had been no com pany formed for the purpose, and that he had had no communication with any of the existing companies. He had deemed it his duty, as an officer of the Cor poration, carefully to abstain from implicating himself or the undertaking with any company or individual as a pecuniary speculation. He was also anxious that the Corporation should equally abstain from doing any act which might wear the appearance of pledging itself to any course of action until the cotumittee to whom it might be referred should have time and op portunity to examine and report upon the whole measure. As to the expense he would answer the Honourable Alderman's question with equal frank ness. lie had some years since employed surveyors of character and experience to estimate the cost and the returns. They had surveyed, measured, and valued every property in the line, and they reported the probable amount of the balance of cost after the sale of the groundrents from the surplus small a sum that he was almost ashamed todstatestid.

PERSUASION BETTER THAN FORCE.—At the termi nation of the clerical year at Easter, 1850, there was a ba the poll of the a o s 1851, the n ter, lance due to the churchwar dens of Carisbrooke of u p wards of 761., which, with the usual expenses of re p airin g the church, &c., amounted at Easter, 1851, to nearl y 1301. To reduce the former debt a church-rate was made in Au g ust, p n ar s i o sit w o h n ie t h he p ma jority of the parishioners d ecided that there should be no chu r ch-rate. The churchwar dens were, therefore, obli g ed to produced church-rate near question 601. ; at t u E t try the voluntary principle, and by the accounts just pub lished we are happy to perceive that by the collection, with the aid of the parish rentals, and the sale of an old brass gun, which was of no service in the pitrish, the whole of the aforesaid debt has been discharged , and a balance of 61. 49. 10d. remains in the hands of the churchwardens / Hampshire Independent.

The want of a wholesome and efficient water supply is more se verely felt south of the Thames than in any other part of the metro polis. The Sanitary Commissioners say the present supply there Is " wholly unfit for use, and is highly dangerous to the health of the persons who drink it." The Company has for its object the supply of pure water at con stant and high service, and has received the most cordial support from the proprietors, ratepayers, and inhabitants in general of this large district, evidenced by their numerous petitions and by the re solutions of public bodies, such as the Quarter Sessions, the District Board of Health, &c. It has long been known that the Wandle water is the purest of any within practicable distance of the Metropolis (see the public evidence taken before the Committees of the House of Cammons.) From this source a m inimum snpply of 27,000,000 of gallons daily ca n be ob tained without injury to any one. The present supply of Thames water is about 9,000,000. The Company, either through the instrumentality of the existing Companies, or by parochial or other public bodies, or their own means, will be able to send " unintermittent streams of cool, fresh lucid water, sparkling and pure, up every court and alley, and to the very garrets of the meanest houses, at a very low rate of charge." And these essentials they can guarantee ; because, besides the ad mitted superiority of the Wandle water, which in its natural state possesses a greater " freedom from putrescible organic matter," and from " discoloration," as well as greater " brightness, clearness, softness, and coolness," than any others, this Company's plan com prises a complete system of intercepting drainage to carry oil the impurities of mills and house -an original and perfeot method of n it ra ti o n (invented by Mr. F s F. P. ori gin al an d Engineer to the Company), to b e employed in the grand reservoir itself, 160 feet above Trinity high water mark, whence it will row in uninterrupted distrii ution by mere gravity to the thousands of buildings in the istrict, in a state as cool and limpid as any well water—and lastly, because the Company apply by their Bill lor a compulsory limitation of profits, so that the abuse of high charges will here be an impos sibility, whilst there will be sufficient profit to afford a liberal remu neration to the shareholders. The Thames water throughout contains sulphates and . chlorides of some sort, and the water at Dittos, besides these, Is impregnated w ith the sewerage of Hamp ton -court and other districts, compre , bending a population of three-quarters of a million. , "No amount of boiling can separate the s ul p hates and chloride, they will re main and constitute a permanent hardness. In the Wandle water there is no sulphate or chloride of any sort ; but there is present the carbonate of soda, which renders it admirable fo all domestic pur poses, and to such " water M. Soyer gives a prreferenc m aking, even over distilled water." Application for the remaining shares to be made to the Mes ecresrs.
