WATER OF TR& /METROPOLIS.

Mr. HOBHOIJSE rose to call the attention of lit
Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department to the
Report of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the Sup.
ply of Water to the Metropolis, which was any 'hill
but satisfactory. He wished to thaw the attentions(
the Right Hon. Gentleman to certain passages of as 0
Report, which stated that the Commissioners suppose,'
their power to extend not only to an investigations(
the pie.ent supply of water, but to the future means(
rendering it sufficient and good ; and with that vie'
they had
.examined a large mass of evidence. "ite
Right Hon. Gentleman, however, had objected to tse
expense of taking Surveys, and said, that that hid
formed no part of the objects of the Commission. If
that was the case, he wished to know why an Engioes
like Mr. Telford had been made one of the Comer
siouers ? It appeared to him that the object of Pail."
ment was to ascertain hew some full and salubriO
supply of water could be procured. That also was sO
notion which Dr. Roget, and Mr. Brande, and Mr. Tar.
ford, entertained of their posers. But, at an interviee
with the Right Hon. Centimes, they were told this
they must make an analysis of the water before of
thing could be decided upon. They told him, in anseess
that six months must elapse before that analysis could
be completed, which made it impossible that any Ir
gislative measure could intervene to insure a health!
supply of water to the metropolis for another year.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that when he came into
office, he found that a Commission had been appoint
by another Secretary of State, with what be consider/
ample powers to call upon the existing Water Coo
ponies to show whether or not they had the means!
supplying a sufficient quantity of wholesome woe
But, when it was proposed to him to incur a large ee
