METROPOLITAN WATER COMPANY.

A Meeting took place-yFstenlay at the City of
London Tavern, for the purpose 'of petitioning Parliament
against the Metropolitan Water Company BiII—CIISRLES
BARCLAY, Esq. in the Chair.
The Cust n MAN having stated the object for which the
Meeting was convened, said, that the Bill now in progress
through the House of Commons for, establishing a Water
Company would, if passed into a law, be productive of ince].
culable injury. There were three sets of springs in the me-
tropolis; first, the land-springs, which had suffered materially
by the neighbouring canals and die sinking sewers, as the
water was thereby drained from them ; secondlt, those of greater
depth, to which manufactories partly owed their existence, on
account of the temperature of the water, it being 25 times cooler
than atmospheric air. There were others as far down as the
blue clay. The neVe Water Company, by digging large wells,
'and making use of steam 'engines, would have the effect of
draining the water from all these, and thereby not only stop
the operations of various manufactories and public establish-
ments in London, but cut off the supply of public and
private pumps. In illustration of this, he said that him-
self and Mr. Calcraft had each a well, in different parts of the
town, sunk as deep as the blue clay, yet when any alteration
was made in one, it affected the other. With a steam-engine of
One horse power applied at one of these wells, they could lower
the water in the other 15 feet in one hour. What the general
effect would be of establishing the new water company, might
be easily judged from this circumstance. Yet though the inju-
rious tendency of it was obvious, it Iras surprising the company
did not propose making any compensation to those that would
suffer by it:
Mr. AIALTON said, that the proprietors of the company set
out with a fallacy, which was, that water below the blue clay
would be 12 degrees softer than that with which the city was
generally supplied. It was obvious that this was incorrect. The
company said that the springs now established could not be af-
fected by their wells, because they would be sunk deeper; and
that the water works now in the metropolis were less by two
than they had been formerly, on account of the abandonment
of the York-buildings and London:bridge Waterworks. In
answer to these arguments, he begged to state that the Hospital
pumps were as deep as the blue clay, and that the New River
Company absorbed the water which the above two companies
had abandoned.

Mr. CORCORAN said, that the only way to prevent them
doing mischief was to stop their proceedings altogether. All
the wells they purposed to open would not supply the tenth part
of the metropolis w►th water, yet they would have the effect of
draining the water from other springs. -
Resolutions expressive of their disapprobation of the bill were
passed, and a petition to both Houses, praying to be heard by
counsel against it, was agreed to.
