In consequence, of the earnest wishes of a large portion
of the public that a testimonial should be presented to
Mr. Lyre, to mark their appreciation of the services he
has rendered to his country in saving fro'n destruction a
greet British colony ; and it being deemed unadvisable by
the Committee of the "Eyre Defence Fund" in any way
to interfere at present with the moneys at their disposal
(proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench being still
pending), it has been determined to organise a special
testimonial fund. To afford an opportunity to all classes
to contribute to this testimonial, ant mute from ls. and up-
wards will be received. A short address will be drawn up
and placed in the hands of authorised persons for the col-
lection of signatures.
The London Committee being most desirous that Local
Committees should be formed throughout the country, in-
vite persons willing to form such committees to communi-
cate with the Honorary Secretary, who will at once for-
ward pribted instructions and forms.
Ladies and Gentlemen of known position, or other per-
sons furnishing references, will have collecting cards sent
them on application. Provincial Bankers are invited to
apply for subscription books.
The first list of donations will shortly appear.
Subscriptions may be paid to any of the undermentioned

HAMILTON HUME, Hon. Sec.

Pr ifesitor FrAnizlsn.l, F.R.S., in his analysis of the water 3 for
D ,:•erni3r, 19 :S, in the report to the Registrar-General, states,

With regard to the filtration of this water (Now River) through
aulin ti charcoal, it will ba observe.' that, although the total daily
icalastlo supply of a house on Tiaverstock Hill has pas,te,l
tlirouzh the sA:II3 filter for seven mmiths, the animal charcoal
s:iil mains practically unimpaired its power of abstracting or-
ganic impurities." -

T. 9.1)0va Filter was supplied by this Company.
Thi Filters mly be seen in operation, and full particulars ob-
tained on application to the Secretary, at the Offices,
