The want of a wholes ,Rle and efficient water supply is more se-
verely felt south of the Thames than in any oilier part of the metro-
polis. The Sanitary Commissio;.ers say the present supply there is
" wholly unfit for use, and is highly dangerous to the health of the
persons who drink it.''
The Company has for its object the supply of pure water at con-
stant and high service, and has received the most cordial support
from the proprietors, ratepayers, and inhabitants in general of this
large district, evidenced by their numerous petitions and by the re-
solutions of public bodies, such as the Quarter Sessions, the District
Board of Health, &c.
It has I.•ng been known that the Wandle water is the purest of any
within practicable distance of the Metropolis (see the public evidence
taken before the Committees of the House of Wmmons.) Frost this
source a minimum supply of 27,000,000 of gallons daily can be ob-
tained -without injury to any one. The present supply of Thames
water is about 9,000,000.
The Company, either through the instrumentality of the existing
Companies, or by parochial or other public bodies, or their own
means, will be able to send " =intermittent streams of cool, fresh
lucid water, sparkling and pure, up every ceart and alley, and to the
very garrets of the meanest houses, at a very low rate of charge."
And these essentials they can guarantee ; because, besides the ad-
mitted superiority 01 the Wandlo water, which in its natural state
possesses a greater " freedom from putrescible organic matter," and
from `• discoloration," as well as greater " brightness, clearness,
s f.t.ness, and ,00lness," than any others, this Company's plan com-
prises a complete system of intercepting drairimm to carry off the
impurities of mills and houses— an original and perfect method of
nitration (invented by Mr. F. P. Thompson, the Engineer to the
Company), to be employed in the grand reservoir itself, 160 feet
above Triaity high water mark, whence it will tow in uninterrupted
distrit ution by mere gravity to the thousands of buildings in the
istrict, in a state as cool and limpid as any well water—and lastly,
because the Company apply by their Bill for a compulsory limitation
of profits, so that the abuse of high charges will here be an impos-
siuillty, whilst there will be safficient profit to afford a liberal remu-
neration to the shareholders.
The Thames water throughout contains sulphates and chlorides of
some sort, and the water at Ditton, besides these, is impregnated
with the sewerage of Hampten-court and other districts, compre-
hending a population of three-quarters of a million. "No amount
of boiling can separate the sulphites and chlorides"—they will re-
main and constitute a permanent hardness. In the Wandle water
there is no sulphate or chloride of any sort ; but there is present the
carbonate of soda, which renders it admirable for all domestic tea-
poses, and to such " water M. Soyer givrabes a preference for
making, even civ,r distilled water."
Application for the remaining shares to be made to Messrs.
Sheppard and Sons, 28, Threadneedle-street, City, and to the Secre-
tary, at the Temporary Offices, 15, Tok enhouse-yard, Lothbury,
where prospectuses and all ether information in be obtained.

highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-

who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
ing misery and regret.

PROJECTED CITY IMPROVEMENTS.
[Owing to a press of matter the following has been
omitted :---]
A few days since a numerous auditory assembled
in the Egyptian-hall of the Mansion-Louse, to hear a
lecture delivered by Mr. Charles Pearson, on his plan
for improving the city of London by effecting a com-
munication between the centre of the City and the
northern, eastern, and western lines of railway, as
suggested by him in 1833, 1837, and 1845. Amongst
those present we observed the Lord Msyor ; Alder-
men Sir G. Carroll, Sir John Key, Sir J. Duke,
Salomons, Wilson, Farebrother, Moon, Lawrence,
Hooper, Finnic ; the Common Sergeant, Sheriff Cot-
terell, Under-Sheriff Millard, Deputies Harrison,
Bedford, Penning, Kebbell, Larkin, Wright, Lake,
Tyler, Stevens, Hicks, Stacey, Evans, Smith, Cock,
&c. A model of the proposed improvement, covered
from sight, was placed on a table before the chair.

The LORD MAYOR said, having been requested by
their friend the City Solicitor to take the chair pro
forma upon this occasion, he did so with great plea-
sure, believing that their friend had something to ex-
hibit, and wishing to give him an opportunity of fully
explaining the objects of his proposed plan of improve-
ments. He should be most happy to do anything in
his power to advance any plan that would be for the
general interest of the City, of the metropolis gene-
rally, and the vast and populous districts surrounding
it.—(Cheers.) Having said thus much, he would beg
to retire to his public duties, leaving it to the company
to appoint a chairman.
His Lordship then withdrew, and on the motion of
Mr. DAKIN, Sir G. Carroll took the chair.
Mr. PEARSON commenced by observing that he
should indeed be the vainest coxcomb upon earth if
he invited gentlemen to leave their business at this
hour of the day to come there merely to gratify their
sense of sight by looking at a model, however beau-
tiful it might be; but he had to explain to that as-
sembly a project which he believed was destined to
render the most important benefits to the City, and he
must pray them to give him their attention to some
preliminary observations before he uncovered the
model. He felt very deeply the responsibility that
rested upon him for the part he had taken in this
matter, and he had therefore adopted a course unusual
with him in writing down some heads of his dis-
course, in order that they might stand on record to '
be brought forward for examination at some future
day. He had no right to challenge the attention of
the corporation of London, whose servant he was,
upon a matter affecting the interest of the citizens,
unless he brought before them a project which had
received the closest attention, and could bear the
minutest scrutiny. It was the first duty of a public
officer implicitly to obey the orders of those for whom
he acted, and he had no sympathy with an indi-
vidual who, holding a situation under any public
body, should allow himself wantonly,impertinently, or
capriciously, to travel out of the strict line and rou-
tine of duty devolving upon him, and diverge into
other subjects with which he had no concern; but he
thought he should show to the corporation, and to
that assembly, that the circumstances under which he
addressed them fully warranted the course he had
taken. When a young man, he had been in the habit
of speaking of the city of London in florid and
glowing terms, as the first city of the first nation
in the world, and the queen of European capitals;
be would, however, now restrict himself to a common
sense and commercial view of matters, and would set
out with the proposition that the city of London, with
an area of rather less than a square mile, contained
land and buildings valued at upwards of 40,000,000/.
sterling, the more limited district of " the walls
within" containing about three-fourths of that
amount. His second proposition was, that this enor-
mous property derived its principal value from the
fact that the City was in the centre of the metropolis
of the United Kingdom, and contained within its
walls the principal national, commercial, and mone •
tary establishments of the country, which are the
objects of daily resort to persons of all classes, from
all parts, not of the metropolis alone, but of the
kingdom at large. Every one who was in the
habit of traversing the streets of London would
agree to his next proposition, that the omnibuses
and other vehicles daily passing in the City had
increased during the last few years to a seriously
inconvenient extent.—(Cries of " Hear, hear. ")
He believed that this increased number of vehicles
might be ascribed to various causes; first, the in-
creased number of distant railroad termini, ri udering
it necessary for all City passengers to come from the
stations to their places of destination in anniliuses or
cabs, instead of walking, as they might do if set down
at points in the centre of business ; second, the in-
creasing practice of merchants, traders, and others
carrying on business in the City, to reside out of
town, and to be daily conveyed as regularly as the
flux and reflux of the tide, through the streets to and
from their places of trade • third, the establishment of
railway receiving houses for goods in several narrow
but important thoroughfares, choking up the streets,
particularly at hours when the free passage of the
streets was most needed for other purposes ; fourth,
the increased extent of the metropolitan suburbs,
whose population, numbering upwards of 2,000,000,
were principally supplied with provisions from the
City wholesale markets.—(Hear, hear.) The fifth
proposition he laid down was, that these causes of the
overcrowding of the streets were still in action, and
progressing with accumulative force. The returns of
traffic showed that the passengers by the various me-
tropolitan lines of railway exceeded week by week
the corresponding weeks of former years. The dis-
position for suburban residences was daily extending
itself to the humblest classes who valued comfort and
health, which caused an immense increase in the
number of passengers conveyed; whilst 'the goods
traffic by railroads was daily augmented as the trade
of the City increased. Again, the demands of sub-
urban districts upon our wholesale markets were mul-
tiplying as the metropolitan population increased,
which the census returns showed that it did at the
rate of 20 per cent. in each period of ten years. Be-
sides the (augmented numbers of other vehicles that
daily entered the City, it was an ascertained fact
that, during the last twenty years, omnibuses to or
through the City had increased at least 4 per cent.
annually, thus swelling their numbers in a compound
ratio. If the causes of increase continued undimi-
nished, and some active and efficacious means were
not taken to counteract their operation, what disas-
trous results to the City, its trade and property,
might not be predicted as certain to be witnessed
within the next cycle of twenty or forty years.—
(Hear, hear.) It was true that the Thames steam-
boats, and the Greenwich, Croydon, and Blackwell
Railways, which daily brought tens of thousands of
passengers into or close to the focus of business in
the City, had done much to mitigate the evil, for
otherwise they would have seen London-bridge blocked
up, and some of the principal streets rendered impas-
sable.—(Bear, hear.) The widening of Canon-
street, for which the Corporation was nobly spending
500,000/. from its own funds, would give a southern
line into the City, and thus diminish the crowding
of Cheapside, but it would still leave Fleet-street,
Ludgate-hill, Newgate-street, and the northern,
eastern, and western districts of the City without any
relief.—(llear.) lie fearlessly affirmed the.t nothing
but the establishment of railway stations for the ad-
mission of City passengers from the North-Western,
Great Western, and Northern lines, and a cheap trunk
line for the accommodation of the inhabitants of the
suburbs in those quarters, could stay the progress of
overcrowding in the streets, which threatened so
fatally the prosperity of the City.—(Hear.) The
plan he proposed was based upon this principle, and
intended to secure these objects, as he would presently
explain. When a member of the Corporation several
years ago, he had foreseen and foretold the state of
things at which we had now arrived, and had devised
his present project to counteract the injurious effects
he anticipated as certain to arise ; but the prejudices
that then prevailed against railroads in towns pre-
vented its adoption. In 1845 he again brought it
forward, and upwards of 2,000 of the City firms
petitioned the Court of Common Council in its
favour. On the 20th October of that year, the
Improvement Committee, composed of the leading
members of the Common Council, to whom the sub-
ject had been referred for consideration, passed a re-
solution " that in our opinion it is desirable, for the
prosperity and advantage of the citizens of London,
to have railway termini within the City," tad on the
3d November the committee reported their decision
to the Court of Common Council, who were pleased
to adopt the following resolutions :—" That this
Court doth agree with the committee in the report,
and that it be an instruction to the committee to ob-
tain from any companies, and lay before this Court,
plans, sections, elevations, and models, showing the
manner in which the streets, pavements, and sewers
will be affected by any contemplated alteration within
the limits of the City ; and that the committee do re-
port whether any and what arrangements have been
made to prevent monopoly, and to secure to the public
the utmost amount of railroad accommodation that
can be obtained by stations in Farringdon-street, con:
sistently with .a due regard to the trade of the City
and the convenience of the public. 2. That it is the
opinion of this Court that any alterations which may
be approved of ought to be
carried out by or under
the direction of a committee of this Court, so far Es
the clearing of the ground and the adjustment of the
streets and sewers are concerned, so that the public

may be protected from unnecessary inconve-
nience, by obtaining good approaches to the sta-
tions, and by providing for the

con-
sequence of the changed appearance of thi His
Dalhousie, Lord Mayor Johnson, and s'
C.
Smith, who spoke of it as follows :—"Mr. C.
Pearson
has brought under our notice a project which it
would appear has long occupied his attention, for
forming a gland central terminus in Farringdon-street.
He recommends a trunk railway, consisting of three
or four double lines, to run from Battle-bridge to his
proposed grand terminus in Farringdon-street, for the
use of such companies as shall desire to have a terminus
in the centre of the City, and shall be inclined to contri-
bute fairly to its formation. He would carry the line of
railway between two rows of houses he proposes to
build, so as to form a wide handsome street, one
hundred feet wide and eight thousand six hundred
feet in length; the railway to be arched over,
so as to support the pavement of the street,
and be on a level with the ground-floors of the
houses," The commissioners went on to say that he
(Mr. Pearson) proposed a very ingenious arrangement
of the terminus, but that his plan was open to the
same objection as applied to all other City :termini,
and therefore not to be recommended. The reason
assigned was, that railroads carried towards the focus
of business ought rather to be - encouraged on the
southern side of the Thames, the property there being
of less value, and it not being probable that any great
improvements would be interfered with. This, how-
ever, he did not think a very sufficient or satisfactory
ground, and he would appeal to the whole company if
the district from Farringdon to Clerkenwell, through
which he proposed to carry his line of rail and street,
was not as bad as the worst rookery of the borough.
—(Hear, hear.) In place of the plan he advocated,
that recommended by Sir Willoughby Gordon, on
the ground of its being necessary for the concentra-
tion of troops in case of invasion, for a line connecting
the North-Western Railway with the West India
Docks, which he (Mr. Pearson) called the leave-out
London line, was adopted and carried out. The
events which had occurred since 1845 had strength-
ened the conviction he before entertained of the
practicability, utility, and profitable character of
the unnertaking ; and being firmly convinced that
the Improvements Committee and the Corporation
were right in adopting the resolutions he had quoted,
he had watched for the first favourable opportunity
of bringing the plan again under consideration. He
had had plans and models prepared for its illustration
at his own cost and charges, and disclaimed any per-
sonal object in the matter beyond the wish to dis-
charge his duty to the Corporation, and to promote
the interests of his fellow-citizens.—(Cheers.) He
had likewise taken care to have all the surveys and
designs ready for an application to Parliament in the
approaching session, and if the Corporation felt now
as they felt in 1845, he made no doubt they would be
successful, and that the project would be taken up by
the public, and carried into execution, even if the
railway companies principally interested in obtaining
the advantages it would afford should from any cause
be induced to withhold their countenance or support.
He was ready to abide by the report of any impartial
and independent engineers and surveyors whom the
Corporation might choose to investigate the merits of
his plan. Let there be no monopoly to one particular
company, but let a trunk line be constructed acces-
sible to all parties who should contribute towards the
expenses of its formation sad of the alterations that
would be required in the surrounding streets. Now
or never was the time, for the Government had
just determined on taking the construction of the
new street from Farringdon to Clerkenwell, which
had been left to lie unfinished for ten to fifteen
years, out of the hands of the Commissioners en-
trusted with it, and placing it in those of the Corpo-
ration of London. For himself he asked no pecuniary
advantage ; he was wholly and solely influenced by
a desire to be useful in his day and generation, and
to evince his attachment to the citizens of London, in
whose service thirty-five years of his life had been
spent.—(Cheers.) He would be content if, a few
years after the completion of the plan, the share-
holders voted to himself or his representatives what-
ever compensation they might pronounce him to hare
been deserving of.
The model alluded to by Mr. Pearson and con-
structed under the superintendence of Air. Stevens,
architect, son of Deputy Stevens, was then uncovered.
It was neatly framed in wood, exhibiting the disposi-
tion of the streets and buildings, and the course of
the trunk line, with termini and goods receiving-
houses in Farringdon-street. The following is the
description of it :
" The model is constructed with mathematical accu-
racy and precision to a scale, both vertical and horizon-
tal, of one inch to twenty feet.
" It comprehends the ;shot° of the district extending
(north and south) from Coldbath-fields Prison to Bridge-
street, Blackfriars; and (east and west) from Shoe-lane
and Saffron-hill to the Old Bailey and Turnmill-street.
The model is surrounded by a coloured map to the same
scale, showing the continuation of the improvement, and
its effects upon the adjacent locality from Chancery-
lane to Cheapside.
" To effect the suggested improvement, it is proposed
to occupy the valley of the Fleet from Holborn-bridge
to King's-cross, by constructing branch lines for pas-
sengers to the City from the Great Western and the
Northern Railroads, together with sidings running from
the main lines, and conveying meat, poultry, roots, and
vegetables (without changing carriages or traversing
the streets), to wholesale markets to be Greeted over the
line close to the City. These markets may, by these
means, be rendered far more commodious and more easily
and conveniently approachable than the great provision
markets which are about to be constructed in the centre
of the French metropolis, at a cost of above
a million sterling. The plan also provides extensive
receiving-houses close to the City north of Holborn.
bridge, to be built over other sidings from the main
lines, for loading the carriages with goods to be sent
direct by rail, in substitution of the railway receiving-
houses in Lad-lane, Lawrence-lane, Basing-lane, the
Old Bailey, and other narrow and confined thorough-
fares in the City, where goods are now received, un-
loaded, reloaded, and reconvey ed through the over-
crowded streets and lanes in their way to the distant
railway stations at Paddington, Camden-town, and
King's-cross.

" The plan likewise provides a great trunk line of
double rails to bring omnibus passengers by rail from
Paddington and the northern suburbs of the metropolis
to the vicinity of Farringdon-street. This line will be
so arranged that, with profit and without obstruction or
inconvenience in the streets, 20,000 of the clerks, agents,
small tradesmen, warehouse porters, artisans, mechanics,
and others who resort daily to the City for the pur-
poses of trade, may be conveyed every morning and
evening to and from the country, within a radius of seven
miles, at a yearly charge of 31. each.
" The suggested railway (as the model shows) is un-
like all other railways in town. With all the multitu-
dinous useful objects it proposes to accomplish, it is not
either unsightly, dangerous, or injurious. It interrupts
no thoroughfares; it intercepts no prospects; it inter-
feres with no drainage and no ventilation in the public
streets. It does not, like the Blackwall Railway, soar
above the roofs of the adjoining houses; nor does it, as
at Liverpool, undermine their foundations. It will not
cross other lines, as the railways now constructing in
Birmingham will do, alternately overleaping each other,
somrtimes mounting on a viaduct forty feet high, and
sometimes quarrying into rocks thirty feet deep. It will
not cross over roads as at Hampstead, or over streets as
at the Minories. It will not leave filthy wastes at the
sides, like the Greenwich and South-Western lines.
" The proposed plan will either entirely remove all
that is ugly, or place it underground and out of sight;
it will raise all that is beautiful and render it consP i-
evens. The site on which the main line is to be con-
structed seems to have been formed by nature
andre-
served by man for the express purpose to which it is now
proposed to apply it.
" The proposed project, if carried into execution, in-
stead
of impeding will greatly facilitate allother m
modes
sof inter-communication; it proposes to laythe several
lines of railway under a new street to be
constructed 100
feet wide, and intersecting the metropolis from King's-
cross to Holborn-bridge. It will likewise provide trans-
verse streets on the high level, and so unite the districts
of the metropolis, east and west, which are now sepa-
rated by the ravine that yawns between them. TEe pro-
posed plan will raise the valley at Holborn-bridge 17
feet 6 inches, and place Holborn-hill,
Skinner street upon a level plane. Snow-hill, and
It will likewise
.re-
move the obstructions of Newgate-street by taking
away the carcase market to a spot where there "'
be ample space, and where the meat and other ar-
ticles will be brought in by underground railroad con-
veyance.
"The plan will
likewise effect an underground
.on-
nexion between the Post-office and the railway stations,
by which the use of Post-office vans will be superseded,
and in the space of three minutes the letter-bags may
be passed to and from the station, so that half an hour
at least may be daily saved in every post that arrives at
or leaves London, as far as three-fourths of the United
Kingdom is concerned.
a The model shows how Farringdon-market, which
cost upwards of 200,0001., and produces nothing, may
ho rendered of great value, and how the site of the Fleet
Prison, which has been so long unused, may be made
to produce valuable ground-rents, and assist in relieving
the overcrowded state of the Old Bailey and Ludgate-
