Mr. ROCHE brought forward his motion—" That
the solicitor be instructed to withdraw the Thames
Embankment (North) Approaches Bill from the
further consideration of Parliament." In bringing
forward this motion Mr. Roche complained of the
conduct of Mr. Tite, M.P., in withdrawing so much
of the Thames Embankment (North Approaches
Bill) as affected Northumberland House, and re-
pudiated the idea of going on with the bill after
the vital part of it had been omitted, in consequence
of the opposition by the agents of the Duke of Nor-
thumberland.

Mr. Tin defended himself from an attack mark
on him by Mr. Roche, and said that if he had v,n-
forced the bill with the opposition it would have
been lost, and no part of a really good scheme would
be secured to the public, as the whole would have
been thrown over for the session, and perhaps lost
for ever.

Mr. DOULTON, M.P., and Mr. MILLER, M.P., also

withdrawing the bill.

An amendment was moved by Mr. SAUNDERS,
that the question be referred to the Streets Commit-
tee for further consideration.

On being put to the meeting the amendment wag
carried by 23 against 7, being a majority of 16.

REMOVAL OF DUNG FROM THE METROPOLIS.

The Some'Ton read a letter from the contractors
for the removal of dung, stating their inability to
complete their contracts in consequence of the ma-
gistrates of Essex refusing to allow the dung to be
brought into their coanty, and they believed that the
authorities of Surrey would follow the same course;
the effect of which would be to accumulate a large.
quantity of dung in the metropolis, which would be
detrimental to the public health.
After a few remarks from the CHArn3rAN, it was
arranged that a deputation from the board should
wait upon Sir George Grey at an early period with
reference to such orders, and the immediate removal
of such dung and refuse.

After some routine proceedings the board ad-
journed.

The Water Supply of the Metropolis.

-

The water which is supplied to London contains
a very large quantity of organic and inorganic sub-
stances; the sources whence the supply is obtained
are more or less polluted by sewage, and conse-
quently rendered unfit for human consumption. All
that the water companies can do in the way
of filtering the supply is ineffectual to purify it,
and if we would prevent the spread of disease it is
absolutely necessary that some further steps should
be taken. Every householder has it in his power to
provide a filtering apparatus, but experience has
shown that the slowness and uncertainty of their ac-
tion are such as to prevent their being exclusively
relied upon. Added to this there are many practical
difficulties in the way of supplying the filters, and
irregularity in this respect defeats the very object
for which they are provided. In this state -of things
a water-purifying company steps in most oppor-
tunely, and by providing a filter so constructed as
to be fitted to the cisterns whence the daily house-
hold supply is drawn has made a step in advance
which requires to be only more generally known in
F order to secure a supply of pure water. The filter-
ing apparatus which the London and General Water
Purifying Company supply is so constructed as to
act upon the soluble impurities as well as those held
in mechanical suspension ; it is composed of mate-
rials that do not give any taint or smell to the water
passing through it ; its action requires no attention
on the part of servants ; it retains its purifyingqua-
lities for a very long period ; and not the least im-
portant feature is that its cost is so small as to bring
it within the reach of all classes.

A meeting of the company was held on Wednes-
day, when Lord Ingestre, the chairman of the com-
pany, stated that they had some trouble in inducing
the Government to adopt their filter, but had at last
been successful in their efforts, having already
placed one in a military hospital, and were now
about to fit them up in the barracks. The confi-
dence of Government was of so much importance
that he took the earliest opportunity of informing
the shareholders of their success. The high testi-
mony borne by several leading medical authorities,
such as Dr. Letheby, Dr. E. Smith, Dr. Birch, Mr.
H. J. Johnson, and numerous private individuals,
whose names would be found in the report, would
show the public the importance of the new principle.
The advantages of well filtered water were so well
known that he would not dwell upon them. He
(the chairman) had used one of the company's
filters for some time past, and had found it to
answer admirably, and he might also say that it
had never been necessary to have it repaired
in any way since it had been in his posses-
sion. • Water which previously he was only able to
use for the purposes of washing had now become
thoroughly drinkable. The directors thought it
advisable, in the present state of the company's
affairs, not to accept any remuneration for their
services. But he thought the prospects of the com-
pany were such that they would not have long to
wait for their fees. He should be happy to answer
any questions or bear anything that any shareholder
had to say.

Dr. Little said, as a member of the medical pro-
fession, he might be allowed to say a few words on
the subject of the filter. He thought anything more
striking as to the merits of this filter could not be
found than the fact that one-eighth of the whole of
the filters parted with had been supplied to leading
members of the medical profession. (Hear.) It
has been found that the only medium to remove
organic impurities in water was animal or vegetable
charcoal, but the former alone would remove
metallic impurities ; and although it was by far the
most expenSive, they had not hesitated to use it.
All other existing filters were merely mechanical to
remove the grosser impurities, but the new system
removed the impurities more intimately mixed up
with the water. Arrangements, as the chairman
had told them, had been made to supply the Go-
vernment with their filters, and he thought that the
request of the Government would materially affect
the interests of the company, for it was certain that
they would not have taken that step unless influ-
enced by very strong representations_ r o their
medical authorities.
