A Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was
before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders
and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the Select
Committee on the Metropolis Water Supply. The Government and
the other Bills occupied the attention of the Comm ttee till the latter
ail of May, when this Bill was called on, and the evidence gone
into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through
the House of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large
and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn,
upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded
with in the next Parliament.
The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Sessisn removes all uncer-
tainty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard
to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under-
taking to frame their measures to meet all the requirements of the
New Ac', and likewise to offer to the capitalist a perfectly secure
means of investment.
The Water of the River Wandle has long been celebrated for its
great purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chemists, fully con-
firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr.
Bostock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on
Water supply.
Every Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is
aware of the high charge for the Present inferior and insufficient
supply. The proposed rates of this Company will be upon a much
lower scale. It wilt thus he evident that upon the point of ecmomy
alone, they must command the preference of consumers; but when
the purity of the water is considered, and that the supply will be
constant and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su-
perseded.
alt ough inordinate profits are not contemplated by the Com-
pany, yet it is firmly believed, looking at the vast extent of the
Surrey District, and the daly increase of buildings there, that the
present undertaking N, ill afford an immediate, sound, and steady
lnves'ment for capital, with every prospect that the maximum di-
vidend, now allowed by the Legislature, namely, 101 per cent., will
be speedily attained ; proposals having already been made by large
consumers, to take several millions of gallons daily.
After payment of the Deposit, no call will be made until an Act
be obtained, in which it will be provided that no Call shall exceed
IL per Share, or be made at more frequent intervals than three

months.
Applications for Shares to be made to the Brokers; or to the
Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 28, Cornhill, where
the plans and models of Mr. Thompson's SIIIITERRANEOUS RESER-
voins may be seen, and detailed information obtained.

THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication
in Eliza's Cook's Journal of" Lines written at Kensall-green
Cemetry," has induced num-rous readers to express an earnest de-
sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial
over the remains of " Poor Hood."
Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic
Annual." from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered
our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by
its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was ho
known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his
genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such
glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of
Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow-
ledge that sach a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping-
place, so that it may be fend witk,out the help of a grave-yard
servant, and ail who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed
over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited to spare
what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in
the living and due to the dead.
At the request of the committee, Miss Eliza Cook has contented
to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary
Secretary.
Subscriptions will be received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the
Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand ; at the office of Eliza
Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet•court, Fleet-street; by Miss Eliza Cook,
54, Great Ormonde•street, Bloomsbury ; and by Mr. John Watkins,
