TIM CONDITION OF MR THAMES.—The Field
says :- -The old fishermen— "trinkermen " as they aro
termed—in the tidal way are praying devoutly for a con-
tinuance of rain, as they declare that if a very large bulk
of water dues sot fall between this and the set of the ap-
proaching spring-tides a fish of any kind will not be left
so the river from Putney to Kew. The captains of the
river 'tearoom likewise state that they do not recollect so
great a stretch of mud deposit for years past as is now to
be seen at low water from Chelsea, past Wandsworth on
both sides, up to Bishop's Palace at Fulham. The low
tides have disclosed the existence of many a covert pipe
ingeniously concealed and as persistently denied ; but, of
course, now their presence is manifest, these suspicions
duets will be declared to be used only for taking the
water into the works, and not for the egress of wash and
other deleterious refuse. We shall perhaps hear more
about some of these questionable pipes. Gudgeons have
shown themselves as low down as Chiswick, but unfor-
tunately on the top of the water, from whence they have
been removed by scoop nets—now the common implement
of every. little mudlark upon the banks. It would
be cheering to hear that an inspection of the several
creeks a the Thames was to take place. An investiga-
tion faithfully carried out would reveal a good deal that
is interesting. A visit to the pools in the upper reaches
shows how extremely low they can be without being per-
fectly dry. There is but a mere trickle over someof them,
yet it is stated that " the supply for London of the water
ccrnpanies located at Hampton has not fallen off," and
that "there is a resource for doubts the demand if
needed." This is a statement of serious import to London;
may it be true! It would be, therefore, interesting to
ascertain from whence this supply is derived and kept up?
If the pools above have ceased to send their usual now
below, there must be some hidden springs, not hitherto
taken into the calculation of our water supply, to account
for this seeming contradiction. Should such be the case,
• matter of very considerable anxiety—not only during
droughty seasons, but with an ever-urcreating population
to provide for—is in a measure mitigated.

generals Pesuela, Novidietie:i, Gatset, Sun Roman,
apd others havelendered their resignation.

mated hie intention of resigning hie portfolio.
• is expected that the Court will shortly return
to adrid to settle the ministerial question.

Petuela the precedency of a new Cabinet, but that
.geheral demanded the di.missal of Marfori, the
lintindent of the Palace, to which her Majesty
..xiould sot accede.

ter to contract a loam under guarantee of the cue
toms receipts of Morocco, belonging to Spain as

The news that the Captains-dental of Madrid
ski Barcelona had tenderej their resignation in
consequence of recent events, is confirmed. It is
also confirmed that the Minister of War reigned
