NEW RIVER COMPANY 'BILL.
Oa the moti proceeding tanner with the third
reading of this Bill to improve the supply. of water to
the metropolis.
Col. DUNNE objected to the Bill on thecground that
tho works which it authorised would injure the Ordnance
works on the Rivt r Lea. Bze. He must therefore with"-
hold the consent of the Crown to it, unless tire, promoters
woula allow certain clauses to bc introduced for securing
to Ordnance works a huffittient supply of water. The
Company had already broken the law in 'abstracting
water from the River Lea, and they had no. right to
this Bill except upon the terms that he proposed. He
moved that the Government clauses be brought up.
Mr. WILSON PATTEN said the standing orders
had not been complied with in respect to these clauses,
and as the 68th clause of the Bill would accomplish the
very object of th‘,se proposed by the Government, ho
could see no necessity for agreeing to the EaUttnn of the
Hon. and Gallant Member,-,-(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HENLEY said, as the law advisers 'of-the Ord-
nance did not consider that the 68th clause secured the
right of the Crown, he must withhold the Queen's
assent. •

Lord SEYMOUR said this was a very important Bill
it proposed to furnish the metropolis with a good supply
of water, but if the clams of the Ordnance were con-
ceded, and no wattl. could be abstracted from the River
Lea above their works, the Bill would,bccome an useless
meature.

Mr. CoWPER opposed the Bill unless the promoters
consented to grant compensation to those parties who at
present enjoyed the benefit of the water in the river.
After a brief discussion, the motion for bringing up
the clauses was withdrawn, and the Bill was passed.
The Tees Conservancy Bill, end the Torquay Extra-
Mural Cemetery Bill were read a third time and passed.
RAMSGATE HARBOUR BILL. -
On the motion for considering. the report of this Bill,
Mr. G. HUDSON moved that this Bill be taken into
consideration this day three months.
Mr. HENLEY said that the Bill was certainly not a
satisfactory Bill, and the Government would have
nothing to do with it either one way or the other.
Sir G. PECHELL was astonished to hear this deter-
mination of the Government. He certainly thought
these tolls ought to be abolished.

Sir F. BAKING said that it was impossible for this
harbour to be maintained without these toils, and he
should, therefore, support this Bill.
Mr. HUME was the more astonished to hear what
had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman than he had
been at hearing the President of. the Beard of Trade.
This Bill was opposed to the sound principles on which
our commercial marine ought to be supported, and he
therefore called on the House to reject it.
Mr. MASTERMAN defended the Bill.
After a few words from Mr. B. Dennison, Mr. Grogan,
and Mr. ileadlam, who opposed the Bill,
Mr. STAFFORD said that the Government haVing
followed the laborious investigation which had been in-
stituted by the late Government, bad arrived at the con-
clesion that the passing toll was not so necessary
'as was considered by the Right Hon. Gentleman oppo-
site. Whatever might be the fee of this Bill the Go-
vernment did not consider themselves precluded from
re-opening the subject at any time. They considered
that the subject required to be dealt with by a bold and
comprehensive measure, and in a future session they
were not indisposed to introduce such a measure.
