inquiry into the salubrity and description of the Water would not
be complete without an accurate analysis of the water from the
different parts of the River from whence the several Companies de-
rive their supply ; and that certainly his impression was that such
an analysis must have been made during the period that has now
' elapsed since the appointment of the Commission. Mr. Peel thinks
that it ought to be made without delay; and ine requests to be in-

Sta--In answer to the letters we had the honour of receiving
from you, dated the 4th and 7th instant, we beg to state, that we
have, in consequence of the opinion of Mr. Secretary Peel therein
expressed, given immediate orders for proceeding in the collecting
and analysing portions of water taken from the different parts of
the River from whence the several Companies derive their supply,
according to the plan we had previously laid down ' • and that we
have every reason to expect that these analyses will be completed
In the course of six weeks from the present time.—We have, Ste.

THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1828.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Owing to the dearth of political news, there is a stagnadon in
the Consol market. Consols opened this morning at itsi to i, at
which price they remain steady, alternately buyers and sellers.
The Foreign market is in the same state as the British, with
little or nothing doing.
CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

Commis remained steady until after twelve o'clock, when the•
Commissioners purchased at 831; soon after, the market gave way,
and Consols receded to 831 for the Account, with an appearance of
a heavy market. The cause of this decline is not as yet ascer-
tained, but It must be attributed to a general belief that the Rus-
sian armies are on their march to the Pruth.

In the Foreign market, South American Securities are lower;
Portuguese Stock has also fallen, but in other Securities little
Is doing.

In the House of Lords last night Lord TRNTZRDgN'S
IliUs were committed, and some verbal amendments agreed to; the
report is to be received on Friday. In the House of Commons no
business of importance occurred.

The question of Emigration is to be brought forward
to night for the third, and, perhaps, the last time. Mr.
Wicstox-Hostrow is in despair of obtaining an audience
to his lectures on this branch of Political Economy,
which he considers a hard case, inasmuch as the subject
ought, propeily, to have been called 4, The present con-
dition of the working Poor, and the best means of
procuring them relief." Unquestionably the state of
the poor calls loudly for Legislative interference, but
we are disposed to thit.k the discussion of the Corn
Laws, on Friday, pressnts a wider field for inquiry into
the means of cheapening the necessaries of life, and of
creating an increased demand for labour, than the
scheme of getting rid of the people at a heavy outlay,
with, at all events. an uncertainty as to the returns foi
the capital to be laid out. The population of England
is by no means so great as that of some countries in
Europe, from which we hear no cry of redundancy;
the whole population of the United Kingdom (includ-
ing Ireland), bears a much smaller proportion to its
surface in square miles, than the Nethe.lands, or the
States in the North of Italy. And yet these latter
countries are remarkable for the rarity of their paupers,
and for the comfort and plenty diffused generally
through their inhabitants. We have not space to enter
into the causes of this; but it will suffice to remark,
that population is only an evil when it exceeds the
capital of the Sate ; and surely the wealth and power
of the Netherlands, or Italian States, will not for a
moment be compared to the resources of Great Britain.
It is, therefore, a fallacy to suppose that we are over
peopled ; the fact is, our monopolies, and especially
that of corn, are bidding fair to drive the people to
actual starvation.

The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Gazelle de
France dated Tuesday, were received last night, copious
extracts from which appear in our In nt page. It
appears by an article from Alexandria in these Papers.
that the Puha of EGYPT, so far from being kept
in check by the chastisement his fleet received at
Navarin, had, in fact, fitted nut another expedition,
consisting of twenty men of war, frigates, corvettes, and
brigs, with transports, and provisions of all kinds—these.
