T.U.INEB W.STIZR SUPPLY.

(From the " Ifttnthly 'Report " of Dr. J. Whitmore,
Medical Officer of Health for the Pariah of St. Mary-
lebone.)

During the present summer, owing to the long-
continued drought, the sufficiency of our metropolis
water supply has undergone a severe test, but it will
afford no small amount of satisfaction, especially to
those who derive their supply from either of the Thames
companies, to know that while in many large towns in
England water has become a scarce commodity, while
several of the northern lakes are becoming more and more
shallow, owing to the drying up of their tributaries, and
hundreds of homesteads are literallywithout water,
' our beautiful river, from which we abstract some fifty-five
millions of gallons daily, shows no diminution whatever
• in iM depth -or its ordinary summer flow, notwithstand-
' ing the largely-increased quantity of water that has been
pumped from (he river during the paatthree months; and to
quote from the opinion of an eminent engineer connected
with one of the water companies, " the quantity pumped
might have been doubled without any serious diminution
of the storage and Sow of, the river."

MR. J. B. MILL, M.P. ON LODGER LAW.—A
body of lodgers connected with the St. Anne's Electoral
Association forwarded to the members for Westminster
the following resolution :—" We, lodgers in the parish of
St. Anne's, Westminster, feel ourselves greatly aggrieved
at the continued existence of a law by which, although we
pay all claims of rent due to the person with whom we
contract for our lodgings, we are still liable to have our
household goods seized for any defalcation on his part
whereby his contract is not fulfilled. Feeling assured that
you will not fail to see both the hardship and positive
injustice entailed by the existence of this law, we are desi-
rous of obtaining your opinion regarding the modification
or abolition." Mr. John Stuart Mil, writing from
Avignon, says :—" I beg to acknowledge the receipt of
the resolution passed at a meeting of the St. Anne's
Electoral Association on the 4th inst. I entirely agree
with the Association in their condemnation of the law by
which the goods of a lodger who has paid his rent to
his immediate landlord may be seized to meet the claims
of the head landlord. It discreditable to parliament
that this unjust state of the law should have continued so
latdand I would advise that petitions for its repeal
be signed by the numeroes ohms who are aggrieved
by it, and presented to the new parliament as soon as pos.
able after it meets. The grievances which are moil peti-
tionedwand are likely to be the waned redreemed.'

precautions were taken to secure the admisnon of now

the Rev. T. Jackson. In the course of his eosedionhe
referred to an address delivered by Ides many years be-
fore upon the relations of Methodism to the church of
England. He considered that theme had passed into a new
stage in omosequenee of the Mealiest and rationalism
found within the establishment, which bad rendered it
unworthy of the friendly support which Methodists had
preeiouay given it. He declared that amalgamitson with
the church of England was legally, morally, and reli-
giously impossible to Methodism, and therefore was not
worth discussion. The conference expressed Its thanks for
the letter, and wished that it should be publithed. •
The royal commindonerevie+ptpoutted to inquire

shortly return to town on the completion of their personal
survey of the rivers Mare* sad the Ribble. The smart

of the new parifinkint.

The inquest upon Abrahams Goodall, late outdo:
at the Hone Guards, and which stood adjourned from
Friday last, was resumed yesterday evening in St. Mar -
tin' s Vestry-hall.
Mr. Bedford, the oceans:, opened the proceedings by
reading the depositions which had been taken on the pre-
vious occasion. They contained the evidence of Sarah
Goodall, wife of the deceased, John Miller, a mess
waiter, and Mr. Skegg, surgeon. The substance was to
the effect that Goodall, at the time of his death, was 57
years of age ; that he had enjoyed excellent health up to
Mat month, when he gave up beer and confined himself to
tea and water; and that at 12 o'clock on Wednes-
day night last he was suddenly seised with
faintness and diarrhoea. Dr. Matthew. was called in and
prescribed brandy and water, and subsequently sent medi.
eins in a bottle, which was produced at the inquest. The
wife of the deceased administered the medley's, through
the night according to directions, and found that after the
first dose her husband began to doze. In the morning,
when she went to administer it for the third time, she
found her husband dead.—Miller, the mem waiter, de-
posed to the !moral sobriety of the deceased. The =
o
not being satisfied as to the cause of death, the ei
'and liver were banded over to Mr. Heaton, proteaser of
chemistry at Charing-cress Hospital, for anodyne, and the
adjourned inquest of yeller day evening was held for the
purpose of receiving his rep ort.—Mr. Heaton deposed that
theorganswhichhad been submitted to him were in an ad-
vanced state of decomposition when he made his analysis.
He had tested them, and had found in the liver no trace
of poison of any kind. There were slight traces of prussic
acid in the atemach, but only such as might have been ex-
pected when the acid had been administered as • medicine.
Mr. Skegg had examined the remains of the bottle of
medicine, and found the solution of preemie acid to be
exceedingly weak. He had also examined the body when
in an advanced stage of decomposition, and had found
the heart fatty and flabby, and generally such appear-
&aces in the body as led him to the conclusion that the
deceased had died of diarrhoea, accelerated by the presence
of disease in ,the heart.
J. Goodall, a pensioner, and brother of the deceased,
deposed that he had been suddenly summoned from En-
field, where he resided, and arrived at the Horse Guards
the morning after his brother's death. He noticed a
" dent" on his temple, and a bruise which extended from
it down the side of his head, and to his throat.
The widow explained this by stating that when her
husband found himself becoming indiaposed, he went up
stairs. When he got to the top he staggered from faint-
ness, and fell against the window sill of his bedroom, and
hence the " dente " and bruises on his head.

After some other unimportant evidence, the coroner
summed up, and the jury came unanimously to the cea-
elusion that " the deceased, Abraham Goodall, had died
from natural causes."

SrICIDE BY A GIRL OF FIFTEEN.—An inquest
has just been held at Wet Bromwich concerning the
death of a girl fifteen years old, named Sarah Ann Wall.
On Thursday she bought three pennyworth of " Vermin
Killer," and when next seen she was crouched down on
the ground near the Bush Inn. The man who found her
asked her what was the matter, and on her replying that
she had hurt her leg, he took her to Mrs. Whitehouse's
house. When there she seemed very sick, and trembled
all over, while she was in great pain. Mr. Whitehouse
asked her what was the matter, but the did not reply
until her mother returned, and she then said that the
had taken poison, and told her mother to look in her
pocket. This Mrs. Wall did, and she then found a
pager
d which had contained " Vermin Killer." Mr.
Pa Evans, surgeon, was sent for, but as soon
as he saw the deceased he said there was no hope of her
recovery. She continued in dreadful agony until a little
after 12 o'clock, when she died. In reply to questions
put to her as to what induced her to poison herself, she
said that she ran all the way there and all the way back
for the poison, that she meant to die, and that she did it
" through a chap," with whom she had quarrelled. There
was no reason to suppose that the deceased was insane at
the time she committed the act, as she had been particu-
larly cheerful the whole day. The above facts having
been proved in evidence, and the coroner having maimed
up, the jury returned a verdict of File-ease.

THE CROPS AND THE DROUGHT IN ESSEX.—
From the commencement of Epping Forest, in the south-
west, to Colchester, in the north-east, the Essex farmers
are unanimous in reporting the harvest as considerably
above the average, and as even exceeding their beet
years. The ears are bulky and heavy, and the corn is of
excellent quality. Most of the fields the gleaners bad
already passed through. In very few indeed was the corn
still standing, although here and there the reapers were
finishing off a field, or the carts were wheeling away the
corn. All through Epping Forest the want of water is
sadly complained of. It has to be fetched some four
miles, and those who hove cattle do not know what
they will have to do if the drought continues.
Milk is also very scene everywhere. It was impossible
to obtain a draught of milk either at the farms, or even
throughout an entire village, in the middle of the day,
between two milking times. Beyond the forest, from
Chipping Ongar, through Chelmsford and Witham to
Colcr the supply of water is more abundant, but
milk is toiially scanty. The different crops ripening to-
gether, the harvest having this year anticipated the arri-
val of labourers who come from a distance, and the
corn requiring to be threehed at once, and the great heat,
have made the work of getting in the harvest unusually
severe. But they have laboured with a will from early in
the morning until long after the sun had gone down.
The falling off of individuals warned them to take a
reluctant rest in the shade in the middle of the
day. The garden crepe are utter failures. Of
turnips the reply is, "There are none." Cabbages,
potatoes, and other root crops have been all eaten into by
insects, for the sake of • little moisture which could be
obtained nowhere else. The rain that fell on Thursday,
and in the small hours of Friday morning, was gladly
welcomed, but the farmers say they want a fortnight of if.
However, even on the strength of the small dose that fell,
many determined to give turnips another trial, and were
engaged in sowing them on Friday. Although the sides
of the Great Eastern are blackened along almost the
whole line, the damage done to the neighbouring fields
is inconsiderable. The carelessness of farmers cannot be
too much condemned for placing their stacks so near the
line. Near Chelmsford four or five huge stacks were
being piled up close to the railway embankment, which
was still black from the recent burning.

A cones,:ion grant d by the State Legislature of New York, for
handing and at orkaig cables between that State and Franco, has
been I,OllllNi.
Arrangements have Men male with the Submarine Te:eeraph
Compare g for the exclusive use of one of their wires between Eng.
hand and Dieppe. from which place the }tench Government will
construct a sleet al win, to Brest direct for the Company. By this
means, the valuable cooperation of the Submanne Telegraph
Company hoe been secured, and an uninterrupted route from Eng.
lend to the United States will be established.
The French Government has promised its support and assistant*
to the undertaking, and an honorary oommattee of the highest
position has been formed in Paris.
The growth of telegraphy on the Continent is recent years has,
owing to greeter facilities and a lower tariff, been even more rapid
than in England. In England, the number of messages has been
annually increasing at the rate of from 13 to 20 per cent. In France,
the number of messages increased between likla and PUP, from
1,759,000 to 3,414,000, having nearly doubled in thee yeses. In
Prussia, the average annual increane haa been 34 per cent. In
Austria the traffic mcreaecd nearly f our! old between 1861 and 1866.
It has been generally acknowledged that, both for political and
commercial reasons. the laying of a direct and independent cable
groin the continent of Europe to the United States was only a
question of time, and considering the extraordinary increase of
telegraphic mesuoges wherever new facilities are afforded, it is to
lie expected that the new undertaking will create fresh traffic,
Independent :of that of the old companies, sufficient to ensure
earnings of equal if not greater amount.
The published report of the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph
Company to thew Annual Meeting, held in February last, contains
the following statement :—" The revenue from the cable Is pro-
=satisfactorily, and the reduction in the rates, which cam-
on December Ist .1867,, has tended much to the development
of bnidnees. The gram returns ;of traffic made to this Company
pine, the 27th July, 1967, by the Anglo-American Company, show
the following daily averages, namely:

per day has been about £1,046

This average of £1,300 gives an income of about £173,000 a year.
Prom their income, however, the existing Companies have to pay
one-third to the Newfoundland Companies, a charge from which
the present Company will be tree. It will be the object of the
mew Company to fix such rates- for menages se will secure the
traffic. The price to be charged Is intended to be
tier a message of 10 words, and it seems not too sanguine an ex-
pectation that at this rats the line will find oonstar employment.
Thepowerof transmission of the new cable is estimated.
to the report of the engineers and electricians, at a miteic.m&ci
12 weds per minute, which, allowing 14 hours • waste nem
and oonaequentJ, only 10 hour. a day for actual work. and taking
300 working days in the ear, gives, at the rate of At per massage,
an annual Insane of 000. I'vactically, the proportion of Mrs
and hours lost would, in probability, be ler than is assumed In
this estimate. The working expenses of the new line may be
calculated to amount at the utmost to £30,000 per annum.
The projioeed cable will be laid in two ratans the first from
Brest in France, to the French island of St. Pierre, off Newfound-
land ; the second from Bt. Pierre either to New York direct, or to
a point between Boston and New York, with a 'pedal line to the
List named city.
The length of the cable is as follows,
Ist mention, from Brest to St. Pierre
2nd section. from St. Pierre to the United
States, about 722 „

3,047 miles.
To this, length an amply sagneient amount of slack will be added

THE EMPEROR'S GOOD WORDS.

l'ltz Emperor NAPOLEON is singularly un-
fortunate in his peaceful speeches. Not content
with reading them between the lines and reading
into them the niost forced and sinister meanings,
his ingenious subjects absolutely refuse to
believe that their first intention is the
real one. When he stops for half an
hour at a railway station between Pion-
biases and Fontainebleau, and tells the
Mayor of Troyes that at present nothing exists to
endanger the peace of Europe—these harmless, if
not reassuring, words, expressing very simply
what should, be the literal truth, are pounced
upon by a host of eager and curious commen-
tators in search of a topic for alarm,
and twisted into a formula of ominous and
mowing reservation. The imperial professor of
peace is made to mean that nothing threatens the
peace of Europe to-day, and that the harvest may
be got in and the vintage secured, but that after
to-day the nation must trust in the Pro-
vidence which has so often protected
it from the consequences of its own ill-
regulated ambition and the follies of ita rulers.
The appeal to Providence on imperial lips is in-
terpreted as if a French Providence must be the
God of Battles; and the plain word " to-day" is
supposed to point the coming contrast of to-
morrow. Yet lithe EMPEROR had omitted the word
" to-day," and had confined himself to the remark
that nothing threatened the peace of Europe, it is
tolerably certain that so large and comprehensive
a phrase would have been treated as one of those
dangerous generalities in which deception
lurks. It would have been observed that
assurances of equal force and value had
been pronounced by the same personage
before the Euasian and Italian wars. And it
would have bees urged that so emphatic an an.

nouncement, and one so assailable as a matter of
fact, could only portend its oogtrary.
The mode of interpretation is not particu-
larly encouraging to the good intentions and
goodwill of the SovlazioN who is so laudably
anxious to appease the prevailing distrust.
Perhaps it may persuade him that the
causes of that distrust lie deeper than
the surface of events. Evidently, is the
case of a monarch whose words arc cots.
habitual taciturnity is, on the whole, less dis-
turbing to the general confidence than occasional
utterances which must inevitably say too little or
too much, and which sum up a situation
of affairs in the fewest words of the most accommo-
dating signification. Whoa the Emperor Nkro-
LEON holds his tongue he is suspected of in-
scrutable designs—when he lifts, up his voice
even in reply to a provincial Mayor, ho is sue-
peeted of employing words to disguise his
thoughts and to dissemble his purposes.
Whose fault is it that at a aoafon when .11
the world is in retreat and asking only
to be lot alone—when the travelling and
holiday-making European public have just been
assured that the Foreign Secretaries of France
and England were examining the political firma-
ment the other day, and could not find a black
spot on any horizon ;—whose fault is it that the
Soveeetoe in whose hands of all others, humanly
speaking, are the issues of peace and war, cannot
open his mouth to confirm the report of those emi-
nent statesmen without at once destroying all the
good effect of M. de MousrrEn and Lord STAN-
LEY'B friendly conference, and setting the teeth of
all the chroniclers and prophets on edge ?
Our contemporary, Le Temps, is at no loss to
point the moral of this incessant contradiction
between sound and sense, attributed by public
opinion to those speeches of the Emperor NAPO-
LEON, which, whether actually delivered or not, are
published to the world in the Meniteur as hav-
ing been addressed, " without preparation," as
the conjurers say, to some local functionary. Our
enlightened French contemporary insists on the
impracticability of putting down rumours of war
—which are the product of patent facts—by as-
surances of peace, which are mere words
for words, and are not in harmony with
those facts. It may very well bo believed by im-
partial foreigners that the Emperor NAPOLEON
is as sincerely desirous of preserving the peace of
Europe as the Foreign Secretary who was lately
conversing with M. de MOUSTIER, and arriving
with him at the conclusion that the European sky
was perfectly serene. But a personal and a military
government has its peculiar necessities, and
among these the necessity of maintaining an
enormous standing army, and keeping that army
employed or contented. If the government of the
Emperor NAPOLEON were in fact what it is in name.
a representative government ; if the electors, upon
whose suffrages the empire reposes, were free to
manifest and to exercise their choice ; if the
Chambers were not packed with nominees who,
instead of controlling, are controlled by the
administration ; if the national will were
effectively, instead of nominally supreme,
there would be no need for the SovEaricisr
to " reassure public opinion" by peaceful gene-
ralities. The nation would have a will of its own,
and would know its own mind without a
prompter, and all Europe would understand

whether liberal and intellectual France, commer-
cial and industrial France, agricultural France,
desired war with all its risks and burdens for the
sake of glory and predominance, or peace with
all its fruits and all its blessings. When France
has regained her own discretion, the Empire will
be peace because it will be liberty.
