DEATH OF THE HON. COL. BUTLER' .P.—We regret
to announce the sadden death of the Hon. Colonel I'ierse Butler,
M.P. for the county of Kilkenny, which took place at his apartments
in York- street, on Saturday evening last. The deceased gentleman
was next brother of the Earl of Kilkenny, and has represented the
county since 1832. He was in the 72d year of his age.
ARTESIAN WELLS FOR LONDON—The chalk beds of
London are considered to be an unfailing source of supply of pure
soft water. The metropolis south of the Thames is at present stip-
, plied from that river, and it need scarcely be said that the quality of
that supply is not so pure as might be desired. Speculation thwarted
in railways, has, it appears, now been directed to sinking artesian
wells for the metropolis, and last evening a meeting of the inhabit-
ants of the borough of Southwark was held at the Bridge-house Ta•
vern, for the purpose of hearing an explanation of the plans of the
new company, the nominal capital of which is no less than 2,000,0001.
The explanations appeared to afford satisfaction to the auditory, but
whether the plan will ever be carried into effect or not time alone
can show.
Mr. Gladstone has addressed a note to Mr. Waghorn
on his project for the extension of steam navigation from Sincapore
to Port Jackson, in which he says, " that he regards with lively in-
terest a proposal the effect of which would the to diminish by one-
half, for many important purposes, the distance between the United
Kingdom and the Australian colonies ; and that it will be to him a
matter of sincere regret, if upon examination of such a plan those
aePartinents of the Government which are peculiarly responsible in
that respect shall arrive at the conclusion that the expenses are too
heavy to warrant any early attempt to give it effect."
