tire beat,

Ws have arrived at considerable perfection in the
police of the streets. It may be costly ; and there
may still exist causes of complaint. But on the
whole, life and property are protected, disturbances
and nuisances prevented, and order preserved, even
amidst such an anarchical mob of vehicles as throng
Cheepside. If in these matters we are con
d ab
ly
s
in advance of neighbouring countries, which
things with much more ostentation, and much less
effect, we are infinitely behind those countrieson other

points.
We may instance the police of the theatres and
other places of "moment. The loss of life, and the
imminent danger in which so many more lives were
placed at the Victoria Theatre, should awaken public
attention to the shameful mismanagement and neg-
lect, which peril the existence especially of the hum-
bler clams of the population, in the very moments of
their relaxation and enjoyment
Nothing la better cared for in France and other
countries than that crowds shall not stifle and destroy
life at the entrances of theatres and other places of
public amusement ; whilst nothing seems more anxi-
ously and carefully provide d for in London than that
the crush should be rendered as perilous u ingenuity
can devise. Thus, in the entrance to the pita of 11
even oar greater theatres, the passage fur the crowd
is generally so shaped as to grow narrower towards II
the point of exit, thus- sesing it the natural
course of things that the more eager and weaker
frequenters of dramatic amusement should have their
ribs stove in, and their whole body reduced to the
dimensions of sheet iron going through the rollers
which press it.
Can any scene be imagined more disgressbil in a
civilised country, than the infernal mitts while
takes place at the opening of the pit doer el the=
a scuffle in which ladies, all "err& sad
according to the severe injunctions of the epees
master of the ceremonies, are forced to take part?
These unfortunate specimens of the English ftir sex,
condemned to fight for some hours of operatic enter-
tainnent, have paid their half-guinea for the privilege
of joining in this pugilistic encounter. The opera
managers enjoy the crush highly. As much of it
takes plea in the open street, it advertises the
fulness of their home. and the attractioa of
their vorfornmose. They are, therefore, inte-
tested *in the Jew, which is certainly for the 1
1 best performed tragedy of the season ;
inewhssis are screams more genuine, or oaths of II
glib ikpik and truth. The passage frem the II

The stratum there, the new red sandstone,
farsiebes au agreeable, but very hard water, which
may be increased in quantity, itheagh that is doubt-
' fel, bet never can be of the proper quality for the sup-
-11 ply of • large town. The Artesian well water of
Diadem, although derived from the chalk, is a very
soft water, containing only 6 grains of carbonate of
lime
of the
gallon, while the lime salt in the present sup-
ply o the companies is from 13 to 20 grains. The
quality of the London Artesian well water being thus
so superior, let us examine in some detail the mode of
procuring it.
The geology of London and its vicinity has been
so oft.. described that it is unnee foresaary us to do
more than advert to the eirmunstanceshich favour
the accumulation of so large a supply of water. The
strata of the soil on which London is built, succeed
I each other in the following order : —l, superficial and
tertiary depoiaits ; 2, plastic, or London clay ; 3,
end t 4, chalk; t, sand; 6, wesid, or blue clay.
Of these, No. 2, or the plastic else, is impervious to
water, eed effectually separates the springs in the
superficisl stratam from those it, the sand and chalk
formations. No. 0, or the blue clay, is likewise im-
pervious, so that the water preserved in the sand and
chalk is prevented from sinking further into the
bowels of the earth. These strata carte upwarda,
terminating in the hills, which, at a greater or less
distance, encircle the metropolis. Thus is formed
what is commonly called the London chalk basin ; but
it is properly the blue clay that items the basin—the
sand and chalk being as it were an enormous sponge,
which fills the basin, and the plastic clay
a lid or cover, which secures the contents of
the basin from coming in co,' tact with any
impurities from above. The drairage and sewerage
of the city may be altered or expanded
to any extent, without penetrating the operewlurn of
the plastic clay. A more perfect natural tank for the
supply of a great city cannot he conceived. And
when its vast extent and the cirr•umstance that Lon-
don is nearly in the centre and lowest point of the
basin, are taken into account, it will be perceived that
the greater part of the rain offerings of the surround-
ing eon try are collected in a re servoir directly be-
meth the metropolis itself. 'f he entire MY of the
chalk formation and the belay of water which its
cavities permanently contain, it could be nearly
impossible to estimate with any approach to accu-
racy. It is not so difficult to calculate
the annual tribute which it receives from
the rain that penetrates the stratum where its
surface is exposed. The area of this surface
has been estimated at from 1,000 to 1,200 square
miles. " All the rain that falls uis.n that surface,"
we quote the words of an eminent engineer, " pene-
trates through the fissures in the chalk, is diffused
through its whole extent, nod is more especially
I carried to the lowest tied of the basin, which is under
1 and around the metropolis." It the average fall of
rain on the exposed serf ice he taken at 21 inches per
annum, and one-third allowed fur evaporation, it is
calculated that the quantity of water penetrating one
square mile of the exposed surface is equal to
3,208,228 hogsheads per annum. So that the quan-
tity poured annually into the natural basin which we
have di-scathed, must he nearly 4,000,000,000 of
hogsheads, or ten times the highest estimate
made of the present consumpion of the me-
tropolitan districts. It would need, therefore,
a population of twenty millions,
t ,•
supplied on the
scale the Londoners are at presen to consume the
annual recruitments to the sew rvoir in the London
chalk basin, its permanent contents remaining un-
touched. This is, we conceive, a sufficient answer to
the fears of those who, while they acknowledge the
feasibility of obtaining a present supply by a
mo-e general use of Artesian wells, think, or pretend
to think, that according as the number and working
of these wells increased, that supply would become

precarious.
The sinking of en Artesian well fie doubtless a work
of great labour and expense, besides being a more than
ordinary trial to the patience of those concerned; the
depth to be reached is sometimes so great, and the
water is so long a-coming before it condescends to
come. But the work once done is done for ever. is
116=4 k.pt in repair; and increased power is rlt
readily
applied, if an additional supply is required. When
the geological indications are so favourable as they
are in London, the capital employed in sinking an
Artesian well can never be lost, if care be only taken
to sink it deep enough into the chalk. Bitch of tl •
prejudices current against Artesian wells as have not
been borrowed ham thy unsuccessful experience and
imperfect operations of other countries, owe their
rust** to he fact that some of tie most noted wells

ject to fluctuations, and it near one another prey upon
each other's supplies. The Artesian well at the Bar
form Club is en instance in point. It is only sunk
into the sand. Hence most members of that dab, a
tery influential body in the legislature, are pre-
ied against all wells bearing the name. Yet

the unusual proximity of these two wells, such • re-

to be able to meet them at once, would be an act of humanity,
for severe repression would so be rendered ennuis-my.
The government would also encourage the spirit of assets-
tion, so se to induce private enterprise, to effect what has
been hitherto looked for from the state alone. As to foreign
affairs the negotiations which had been commenced would
