-DEPUTATION TO TEE EARL OP

CULLUM—A deputation,consisting of the Rev. Mr. Burgess,
Dr. Copland, Dr. J. A. Wilson, Dr. Tilt, Dr. Lankeeter, Mr.
Woolley, and Mr. Lilwall, appointed at the meeting held
last Tuesday week at Chelsea, for the purpose of urging the
cleansing et the Serpentine, waited on Lord Carlisle,-and her
Majesty s Commissioners of Woods and Forests, at the office,
Whitehall, yesterday morning. The Rev. Mr. Burgess in-
troduced the deputation, and stated that they had been ap-
pointed by a public meeting of the inhabitaats of Chelsea, to
state their disappointment that no steps had been taken at
present to cleanse effectually the Serpentine, and to exprem a
hope that the necessary measures would not be delayed.—
Lord Carlisle said that since a previous deputation
had waited on him, he had appointed Sir John
Rennie to make a survey of the Serpentine, and, is

conjunction with Mesas. Easton and Ae1e...4,_
reported that the Serpentine could not be effectunly el
and its dangerous condition obviated, under sn ospeera II 5
30,0001. For this her Majesty's Commissioners of Weeds &a
Forest had not sufficient funds, nor could they obtain
once for this purpose from the treasury. Although they coati
not do all they wished, they had dose someti.ing, j, ~,_
first place, they had prevented the overflow of the 'mai;
the west end of the water. They were elm
cleanse the upper put of the water above theme
they hoped to obtain a larger supply of water ; but au. ti.;
this they did not at present contemplate —Dr. J. A. .17,r
son urged the necessity of the whole being de.:
His position as senior physician to St. George's lieephTs;
abled him to state with great confidence that the
in its present state was a frequent source of acme 84irilautt.
tent fever.—Mr. Woolley said he had been surgeon to 64
Dojo.: Humane Social for twenty-eight years, and etada
'tat, that the great majority of fatal strident' that occurred
in the Serpenune had arisen from the deep boles to which
allusion had been nude.—Dr. Lankester suggested that is
want of funds was the only difficulty in effecting a tiongfeb
riddance of the !nuisance, probably the inhabitants *
owners of property in the neighbourhood would aloft ts
assist the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, by akw
tax of some kind. Now the matter had been so muelt taut
of the value of property in the neighbourhood would be
Imaterially injured unless something effectual were done._
After some further remarks, the deputation withdrew.
