MANNING THE NAVY.—Copies or extracts "of
the Report and Appendix of the Committee of 1852 on
Manning the Navy " were yesterday published in the shape
of a blue book of 200 pages. This volume is filled with
evidence called for by the Manning Committee, miscel-
laneous evidence, and schemes for raising seamen.
TEMPORARY INTERCEPTION OF THAMES SEWAGE
—The Medical Times Says :—" The Board of Works, the
conservators of the Thames, the Government, and Parlia-
ment, are talking a great deal about the state of the Thames ;
but all the talk ends in the applicgtion of lime to thirty of
the principal sewers which empty themselves into the river.

meantime London is being oisoned. The
of
drainage cannot be of any us
of fluid sewage to flow into the Thames every day. Yet this
enormous quantity of filth only contains six hundred tons
of deposit, or two hundred tons of solid dry material. Surely
nothing could be easier than to intercept and carry off this
six thousand tons by covered barges. Twenty or thirty
barges and four steam tugs would do the work. We have
shown before, and so has Mr. Napier, that the plan is simple
_
and practicable. It must be effective. It probably would
be self-suPporting. Therefore there is not the smallest
chance that either board, or conservators, or Government
will ever think of adopting it unless compelled to by Par-
liament or the press.'
