OPINIONS OF TIM PIBSS.

" We regard the work before us, the ' Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the ♦ictim of past folly, or suffering floni
indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and
Argus.

" The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are, we
fear, too prevalent In the present day. The perspicuous Ltyle in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to these
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a carefta perusal."—Era.

Purchasers roust insist upon being supplied in the shops with
" Price's Patent Candles," or they are ♦ory likely to get some of
the imitations, on account of the greater profit afforded to the
dealer by these latter.

It will be seen by the following statement of Mr. J. Hawkins,
at time late Meeting of the British Association, that these Candles
by far the cheapest light at present in use. " With regard to
Palmer's and the common Dip—when the latter was not snuffed
oftener than about every ten minutes, it took four to be equal to
one of the former; and when unsnuffed altogether. it required
!loven pounds to ha equal to one pound of Palmer's. After al-
imm.ling to further experiments with candles and also with oils, he
concluded by recommending the self.snuffing candle in preference
to oil."—See " Atheneum," Oct. 19, 1844.

PURE SUPPLY OF WATER TO
THE METROPOLIS.

THE SOUTH METROPOLITAN PURE
WATER COMPANY.

On Thursday evening a meeting of the inhabitants
of the neighbourhood took place at the Nelson's Arms
Inn, Merton, for the purpose of taking into conside-
ration the plan proposed by the above Company for
taking the water of the river Wandle to supply the
southern portion of the metropolis.
Major Colebrooke took the chair.

It may be necessary to explain that os two or
three occasions attempts have been made to obtain a
supply of water from the river Wandle, which flows
from Croydon, through I3eddington, Carshalton,
Mitcham, and Merton, running into the Thames at
Wandsworth, and which bears a character of being
peculiarly salubrious. The first proposition was to
take the water from the neighbourhood of Hack bridge,
but as there was a number of mills employed in
different manufactories working upon the stream,
the owners took the alarm, and from their op-
position the Company were induced to abandon
their project. The next scheme was to take
the water at Wandsworth, thus offering no inter-
ruption whatever to the mill power, and to erect
a line of sewers from the source of the river to the
Thames, and thus carry off its impurities; but this plan
was also abandoned, and the present scheme is to take
the water, as originally proposed, at Wandsworth,
and to erect, in various places along the line of the
river, " catch-ponds," or " cesspools," for the pur-
pose of draining off the filth. This proposition has
been met by the most strenuous opposition on the part
of the inhabitants, and meetings have been held in
various parts of the district, at which resolutions
against the scheme have been unanimously agreed to.
The present meeting of the inhabitants of Merton, in
which parish the Company propose to have three of
these " cesspools," was for the purpose of enabling them
to express their opinion upon the subject.
The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, and
said that the subject upon which they had assembled
was one of the very deepest interest to them all. It
appeared to be the intention of the Company to have
large cesspools or ponds for the receptacle of filth of
all descriptions, and the effect must inevitably be to
cause houses to be unoccupied, to raise the rates, and
to entail very great evils upon the whole district.
Several gentlemen having addressed the meeting,
and expressed their opinion that the proposed "catch-
ponds,' or " cesspools," would be highly injurious to
the health of the neighbourhood, and that they would
tend to depreciate the value of the property in it,
Mr. CAMPBELL, a mill-owner, said that although
he was not favourable to the present proposition of
the Company, yet he thought the evils of the catch-
ponds had been very much exaggerated; and he ob-
served that if they opposed every plan for taking the
Wandle waters for the supply of the metropolis, with-
out due consideration of its merits, they might ulti
mately, when the wants of the metropolis became
more urgent, which would, no doubt, eventually be
the case, have the Government, or some strong com-
pany, step in and take the water at the source, and
tl us stop all the mills and throw hundreds of people
out of employment, and inflict almost incalculable
mischief upon the whole district ; besides which, in-
stead of having, as now proposed, isolated cesspools
in different places along the banks of the river, its
whole course. would be one stagnant ditch and mass
of impurity. Ile at the same time wished to be un-
derstood that he was not at all favourable to the pre-
sent plan for taking the water; and with regard to
the cesspool which the Company proposed to have
near their works, he was satisfied that it would not
contain half the matter that would flow into it, and it
would continually be overflowed.
Mr. ASHBY remarked that the effect of this would
be that all the houses in the neighbourhood would be
filled with the filth from the cesspools.
Messrs. Reynolds and Chapman, medical gentlemen
of the neighbourhood, expressed their opinion that
the establishment of these cesspools was calculated to
render the neighbourhood unhealthy, and even to
create, at particular periods, a pestilential atmosphere.
Resolutions embodying the sense of the meeting
against the proposed scheme were carried unani-
mously, and it was also resolved that they should be
published in the whole of the morning papers, and,.
after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting,
adjourned.

THE LIBRARY or TIE LATE DUKE OF SUSSEX.—
on Friday the catalogue of the fourth portion of the ex-
tensive and valuable library of the late Duke of Sussex
was issued by Messrs. Evans, the book auctioneers, of
Pall-mall. no number of lots in this portion is 2,641,
consisting of several thousand volumes, in the Greek
classics, foreign history, antiquities, fine arts, &c., of the
most rare description.
RAGGED SCHOOLS.—On Friday a public meeting
of the Ragged School Union for poor children was held
at. the Portland-rooms, Foley- street, Marylebone. R. C.
L. Bevan, Esq., took the chair, and was supported by
several of the district clergy and other gentlemen. From
the statements of the respective speakers it appeared that
there is a school for the children of the poor (" ragged"
children) in West-street, Smithfield, and it was proposed
that an extension should take place, Sulocriptions for
pat purpose were entered into,
