A Bill en,bracing the proposed objects of the present Company was
befort 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 ttoe till the latter
end 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 fle,se 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and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn,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 Sessien 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, filly con-
firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr.
liostock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on
Water supply.
Every Householder South of the Thames raying Water Rates, is
aware of the high charge for the present inferior, and insufficient
supply. The proposed rates of this Company will be upon is much
lower scale. It will thus he evident that upon the point of re-enemy
alone, they must command the preference of consumers; hut when
the purity of the water is considered, and that the supply will be
eenstmt and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su-
perseded.
alt ough inordinate profits are not contemplated by this Corn-
Pany, yet it is firmly believed. looking at the vast extent of the
surrey Di,trict, and the da ly increase of buildings there, that the
Present undertaking NI ill afford an immediate, sound, and steady
inves•ment for capital, 'with every prospec, that the maximum di-
vidend. now aliowe by the Legislature, namely, 101 per cent., will
he speedily attained ; proposals having already been made by large
consume-s, to take several millions of gallons daily.
After payment of the Deposit, no c.lll will be made until an Act
he obtained, in which it will be provided that no Call shall exceed
U. per Share, or be made at more irequen:. intervals than three
months.
Applications for Shares to be made to the Prokers ; or to the
Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 28, Cornhill, where
the plans and models of Mr. ThotripSon'S SUBTERZANEOUS REsER-
Veins 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." hits induced numerous 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 bti:s.'r ormerriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic
Anneal," 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 he
known as the Poet of Mirth:..bat 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 such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping-
place, so that it may be f4und witoout the help of a eve-yard
servant, and an who have.laughed at his inimi'able wit, or sighed
over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited to spare
what they can in aid of a purpOie which is alike praiseworthy in
the living and due to the dead, '
At the request of the committee, Miss Eliza Cook has consented
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, Arundi I-street, -trand ; at the office of Eliza
Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet•couit, Fleet-street ; by Miss Eliza Cook,
54, Great Ormonde-street, Bloomsbury ; and by .51r. John Watkins,
34, Parliament-street, Westminster.
Post-office orders may be made payable to the Treasurer or Sec.
