The public are very much like children in the

hands for it, they will find a curious, half-spiteful pleasure in
putting away the previously offered wreath, while if you sit
down in a state of perfect indifference the chances are they
will come and crown yeu.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

times covered,
foot of Hampstead-hill , whence it will be pumped up to
such an elevation 25 to supply the top of the highest house
in London by its own gravity. In times of flood, water
will be poured through the Grand Junction and Padding-
ton Canals, for the purpose of flushing the sewers. The
execution of the powers of the Act is entrusted, not to a
Crown Commission or to a joint-stock company, but to a
representative commission, elected in the first instance by
the boards of guardians in the metropolis, and subsequently
by the rate-payers in the same way as they elect guardians
of the poor.
No profit is to be derived from the under-
taking. The rate-payers of London are to find money fur
the execution of it, and to them the Bill gives, as to them
constitutionally belongs, the administration of the funds
which they contribute. Powers are contained in the Bill for
the purchase of existing water-works, if the companies tbi,l6.
fit to sell them.

Vic Toms Docxs.—On Monday the preamble of this
Bill for the establishment of new cloche, in connexion
with the Eastern Counties Railway, opposite Woolwich,
was declared proved. It is proposed to have a capital of
400,000/., with power to borrow 135,0001., and to run the
line of docks and canal nearly parallel to the river
Thames at 600 yards from the bank, commudoesini
with the river at either end by locks
