MGR WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE 'TUTS DAV_
Morning .. 14 minutes after 6 Etenlng .• 41 minutes aftet a,

It is now some three or four years since a proposi
tion was brought forward in the House of Commons,
and agreed to, for the formation of a public park at
the east-end of the metropolis, to be entitled " Vic.
toria Park." Not a few ad captandum speeches were
made on the occasion ; and those, in particular, who
introduced the measure, took credit to themselves
for the kindly feeling by which they were actuated,
in endeavouring to provide for the health and re-
creation of those immense masses of the London
population who dwell eastward of Temple-bar,
in the remote regions of Shoreditch, White-
ehapel, Mile-end, Bethnal-green, &c., in whose vici-
nity the park was proposed to be located. Three or
four years, we repeat—probably more—have elapsed
since this useful measure received the sanction of
Parliament, and ;from that period to the present it
would. appear that not a single decisive step has been
taken with a view to carry it into effect. The matter
remains in precisely the same state in which it was_
when it was first broached in the House of Commons ;
and there, 'we suppose, it will be permitted to remain,
unless an active stir be made on the subject, for the
majority of those interested in the completion of the
park, are a poor, hard-working class, weavers,
small: mechanics, and such like, who are utterly
Without means and influence to press their claims on
the kindly consideration of the Legislature, with any
chance of success. By the following, paragraph, which
we quote from a Morning Contemporary, it will =be
seen that we have not been speaking without' warrant,
but that " ;Victoria Park" is still among the things
that are yet to be :—" Notwithstanding the eager
anticipations of the inhabitants of the eastern divfsion
of.the metropolis, of the commencement of operations
for the formation of the park early in the present
spring, these are disappointed by the Crown having
actually given permission to the market-gardeners to
Continue in -occupation and plant their lands, which
*ere lately purchased, for six months longer. The
inhabitants naturally consider that the want of funds
cannot be the reason of this strange delay, as the
Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in their report
of 1842, state that they had received 100,0001. from
the sale of York House, which they had invested in
Eichequer bills, and their report of 1843 further
states that it remains there invested, for the purpose
required, in the hands of trustees." It is clear
from the above paragraph that little or nothing
of moment will be 'done towards the formation
of the park this year, at lea. 4 ; for six months hence
the fitting period for such out-door work will in
a Beat measure have passed away; the fine long days
of summer will„be at an end,. and the rain and gloorn
of confirmed autumn will have set in. Really this
long delay is quite inexcusable, the more so when we
consider how imperative is the: necessity that exists
for a healthy, open place' of recreation at :the east
end of the mettepolis. The inhabitants of that
quarter have no airy and cheerful green fields lying
within a shOrt walkinz, distance of Iliern such as • •
the case in the northern district ofLondon ;:they have
,no spacious and salubrious parks, such as the West-end
can boast Of; but are shut up in narrow, crowded streets,
and lanes and alleys, which stretch away to an almost
interminable clitanee... Here and there, to be eure,
they may get sight of. a thing growing in a•miserably
small, old-fashiOeil square, and, calling itself a tree,.
but which loelis rather like a quiz upon vegeta-
tion; but with this rare exception, they can see
nothing to remind them of, the country, and
have no possible chance 'of gulping in a month-
fill of fresh, unadulterated 'air, unless they

are incontrovertibly European evils, which it is pal-
pal4 the interest of all European States to remedy
and to remove at once. But how is this remedy
to be administered? By whom is the removal of these
humilaham-Thres for the political butchery of Spain to
be effected? Fora dozen years of alternating constitu-
tions and intrigues, parties and influences—these
have -been in full requisition'; affronting the ma-
jesty of law, and menacing the tranquillity of esta-
blished governments in • surrounding States. Her
own dismantled condition, faction-torn, impoverished,
and,decrepid, would have enabled the great European
Powers at any time to compel her to return to order,
and' to the peaceful development of her own still
gigantic resources for retrieving her internal eco-
nomy and wealth, and her political importance. But
these Powers have generously, and we should say
wisely and constitutionally, abstained from such an
extreme-act of interposition.
If, then, the principle of
,non-intervention with the
domestic policy of a foreign State, salutary as it is
even when pushed, to an apparently injudicious point,
be still to • be respected as to Spain ; let the same
great Powers exercise their controlling influence, by
a means more • indirect, not less efficient, and, we
should apprehend, by the law of nations, perfectly
justiflable.and.conclusive. Let theqi suspend all di-
plomatic relations with the Spanish Court and Cabinet
until these, have brought their agitations and 'factions
to a close.; or, at least, under such subjection to the
ancient law and constitution of the country, that
they! May no longer burst forth in incessant and
bloody feuds and convulsions, that are alike a dis-
honour to .our common Christian faith, and a revolting
blot on European civilization in the nineteenth cen-
tury.

Nadrid papers of the 3d have been received, bui
as.,;usual they contain no news.

The Gazette publishes a dispatch from General
RONCALJ, which seems a duplicate of one trans-
mitted some ten days previous. It is dated Fe-
bruary 28, and •states, " that the instirgents had on
that day made a sortie, under cover of the fort of
San Fernando, but met with such a warm reception
that they Here soon obliged to re-enter, under
protection of the fort, leaving behind them several
killed and wounded. The heavy artillery was land-
ing, ,and every preparation making for bombarding
the city of Alicant."

The QUEEN-MOTHER was expected at Albacete, on
the •10th instant. Great preparations were going on
at different places for her reception.
The Three per Cents. were done at 301 at 60
days ; the Five per Cents. at 221 at 60 days; and
tho floating debt at-s 1 at• 60 days. • •
