The " Wandle Water and Sewage Company" is
formally introduced on the market, with a nominal
capital of half a million sterling in 101. shares. It
will be remembered that the bill embodying the
objects of the proposed association actually engaged
the attention of the Select Committee on the Metro-
polis Water Supple last golden, but that owing to
its being delayed till • late period of the session, it
was judged expedient, with a view to avoiding un-
necessary expenditure, that the bill should be with-
drawn, upon the understanding that the same mea-
sure would be proceeded with in the new parliament.
The objects of the association are the supply of an
unlimited quantity of pure water front the River
Wandle and its vicinity to the inhabitants of the
southern portion of the metropolis, extending from
Richmond to Deptford, Streatham and Norwood;
and the simultaneous execution of sanitary improve-
ments. The rates of charge are to be mach lower,
it is stated, than those of the Lambeth and South-
wark and Vauxhall water companies.
Application is made to this market for a sum of
200,0001., fur the " Financial Union Bank of Paris,"
which will make the total capital of that establish- I
ment, including 600,0001. raised, or to be raised, in
France, 800,0001. It appears that the institution
was founded in the French metropolis in April 1850,
and that the extension of capital is proposed with a
view to forming a branch in London, and auxiliary
institutions in the chief commercial towns of France.
The " Great Paris Brewery Company " is another
French undertaking, a Portion of the capital of which
is to be raised here. the object of the association is
apparent in its title, including the production in
France of the various varieties of Britian beer.
