THE GREAT DRAINAGE WORKS AND THE
BANE OP ENGLAND.

The inhabitants of the metropolis will learn with
interest that government have decided upon the
mode of raisiog the large funds destined for the ex-
tensive drainage works which are now contemplated
with a view to the purification of the River Thames.
It has been definitively arranged that the Metro-
politan Drainage Commissioners shall be authorised
to hate Bonds to an amount not exceeding three
millions sterling, open which uvernineut guarantee
3t per cent. per annum interest. The other partiss
to the arrangement ere the Bank of England, who
have agreed to take the Donde, in sums of not lees
than 60,00 W. at a time, at such period. as the
Drainage Commissioners may require to is.. than.
Is like manner, the Commianonere will have the
option of redeeming the Bonds, in sums of 30,000!
each, whenever they deem it right to do so. The
latter proviso will obviate the objections of those
persons who, in the present state of the money
market, might be jealous of the preference given to
the Bank, and anxious to take a portion of the new
government securities. The Drainage Commissioners
will have, in fact, so open credit of three millions at
the Beak of England, which they may draw upon,
er see, at their COCIVOIIIiOOOI. No other establishment
maid accord similar facilities upon so important a
male. The interests of the public appears to be duly
nensulted in the arrangement, since a work of primary
asaissity to three million. of souls will be facili-
tated, and no distarbence of the money market
aessibly be occasioned. The money will be ex-
pendedoe the spot, and the entire transaction, con-
sidered in a pecuniary sense, will be kept within a
very narrow circle. Ile advantages I. the Bank of
England are obvious. That establishment will be
enabled to employ their surplus resources at a remu-
nerative rate of interest in the safest possible secu-
rities, and they will, doubtless, in addition, have
the keeping of the Commissioners' banking account.
Ultimately, we moat preemie, as the promo& of the
rates which will be levied on the ssstroyolis Now in,
the Boons will be paid off; bat this e.esideration ap-
pertains to the future.
