Ana SUPPLY OF THE METROPOLIS.

Lord SEYMOUR, in moving to introduce the 00VINII-
ment Water Bill, submitted that the objects to be attained in
a water supply were quantity, quality, and cheapness. The
Thames within the tidal influence was not a fit source of sup-
ply. He believed the Thames above the tidal influence, the
New Rim, and the Les, would afford a proper source.
It would be nimbie to adopt the report of the commission
to go to the sands of Surrey as the sole source of supply,
though.he believed •eonsidelable quantity might be obtained
from thence. He proposed that ell the houses under 101.
should be supplied at • fixed rate in order to ensure a sup-
ply to the poor. The present charge for such hones* in
London as compared with other towns was very high, and
it would be necessary to make inquiries ins order to As the

down the seals of rates until after more inquiry.
Leave was then given to bring in the bill.

the question bed been already put and carried.
Mr. MOWATT then owed to bring in his bill for rest-

mesetially a ratepayers' bill. That was, that the in-

brought in and read a first time.
DR. REID.
Mr. B. OSBORNE moved, pursuant to notice, that Dr.
Reid be called to the bar of the house, and questioned u to
the means at his disposal for ventilating the new
buildings. Tbe hon. member observed that, nest
to the question of a good supply of water, a
matter which had until now been engaging their
attention, the house would take the greatest interest in the
question of a good supply of air. (Hear, bear.) It would,
indeed, be an excellent thing if the government would turn
its attention more closely to the subject, and bring in a bill
for the better supply to that house of good wholesome air.
He proposed that they should call Dr. Reid to the
bar of the house, and there GU him a series of
plain questions certain to call forth plain answers. (The
bon. member bete read six questions which he proposed to
be put.)
Lord SEYMOUR thought that if the house began by
calling on Dr. Reid they would have to call Mr. Barry and
sterol other persons. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to him
that to take such a course would not be placing the house
in a very dignified position. A committee would in every
respect conduct the inquiry more satisfactorily. Dr.
Bead represented that the impediments which obstructed
him had been in existence for five years; and the house
would probably not be prepared fee a history of the whole
period. (Hear.)
Mr. HUME hoped that the noble lord would not per-
severe in his opposition to this motion. What was wanted
was immediate action ; and as they could not adjourn the
house until the committee had made its report, a committee
would not answer the p . No one could amid
the atmosphere in that house. At one time the
moisture was dropping from every face, and if they
left the house for one of the pamages they found
themaelvee in the midst of blasts which would (Im-
am a delicate constitution.
Mr. W. SHOWN could state as a fact that one boa. gen-
esis had aught such a dreadful cold from the changes

STUARTLad D. hopcd that Dr. Bad wield be
tailed in.

LOTrtii. RUSSELL confessed that he did not think the
ventilation of the house was very perfect at pmeat. At
the same time be could not think that the matter would be
so very easily settled by calling in Dr. Reid. Dr.
Reid might explain in ten minutes all that la wished
to be dons ; but what Dr. Reid might wish to be done,
might in the opialon of Mr. Barry be destructive to the
architecture of the house. (Hear, hear.) Having heard
Dr. Reid, they mould not in lassies refuse to hear Mr.
Merry. The hew mould not in justice decide on doing at
Ines whatever Dr. Reid might ems, The questions
*l* would trim weld not be determined properly by the
while hems ; and it would be far better to refer the in-
quiry to a earnmitles. (Hear, hear.)
After a few words Bois Mr. NIIVIABOATZ,
Mr. BRIGHT begged to observe that the pendent,
I were against the esnintittee. Beate one had always
contrived to base the committees. (Hear, hear.)
' Mr. t3COBELL amid either the architect or Dr. Reid
must give war.
Mr. MOF} ATT sawed, as an amendment, that the mat-
ter be referred to • !sleet committee.

Mr. HUME proposed that Dr. Reid should be asked to

Sir B. HALL thought that, so the house had now fallen
under the charge of Lord Seymour, the matter should be
left in hie hands.
After • lively discussion, it was agreed that Dr. Reid's
evidence be printed; and that Lord Seymour should report
OS Wednesday if any difficulties stood in the way of carry-
