AQUEDUCT.O R I 8 BILL (HENLEY ON
Bill, which stood for second reading on Tuesday in the Orders
of the House of Commons, was the introduction into Lon-
don of .practically an unlimited quantity of, water ; so that
every floor of every house shall have water perpetually
supplied to it by constant high service. The source
resorted to is the Henley Reach of the River Thames,
after that river has received the waters of the' Kennett
and the Loddon. The purity of the water there is estab-
lished by all past inquiries; and the Bill contains clauses
for the preservation of the navigation of the river. The
water will be brought by an aqueduct sometimes open, some-
times covered, but in no part navigable, to a reservoir at the
foot of Hampstead-hill; whence it will be pumped up to
such an elevation as 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 for
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 think
fit to sell them.

A " MAY" SNOWBALL..--0I) Sunday last the mail
from the north was delayed nearly a full hour, in consequerce
of the obstruction which the train met with from snow.
The carriages on their arrival at Preston were partially
whitened on their tops with snow flakes, and one of the
porters at the station was enabled to collect a snowball-1
rather curious pheueLhenohin blays—Live)2vol sta4dard,

but greater than in the same week of the other six
% years. The average of the seventy weeks is 870, or
the
corrected
with
hftohre
corrected increase of
population,
average,m9o4r9ta;l mortality ofc last
oin
week shows a decrease of 92 deaths. The total deaths
from the aymotic or epidemic class of diseases con-
tinue to be less numerous than usual, amounting only
to 146, while the corrected average is 179 ; from
smallpox there were 4, from measles 14; from boop-
ing cough, 36; and typhus, 26; the mortality from
each of these epidemics being less than the average.
l?rom diarrhoea there were 8, which is about the
average ; this disease exhibits a decline on former
weeks. But scarlatina shows an increase, the num •
bers in the last three returns have been 21, 17, and
25, whilst the average for last week is 24. Five
children under five years of age died of infantile or
remittent fever ; four persons of influenza ; and 7 of
erysipelas. A woman of 54 years died of scurvy.
Diseases of the respiratory organ; exclusive of
hooping cough and consumption, were fatal to 137
persons, which is about the corrected average; from
laryngitis there were four deaths, from bronchitis 51,
from pneumonia 56, from pleurisy 5, and from asthma
13. The mortality from consumption continues un-
usually low; this disease carried off 116 persons,
whilst the corrected average is 145 ; and in the cor-
responding weeks of 1840-9 it ranged from 117 to
148. A beershop-keeper, aged 46 years, died of
"hmmatemesis (68 hours)." He is reported to have
been an habitual drunkard. The classification of
Od deaths in public institutions shows that 77 persons
`, were registered as having died in workhouses, 37 in
e, hospitals, sin military and naval establishments, and
4% 6in lunatic asylums.
