inmates of girls school.

The district infection in the east of
London has been accurately mapped
out by the pipes of the Old Ford Com

to ii quarter where certain supply
comes, the cholera has come too; where
it is exchanged for another source, the
cholera has ceased. Nor can we resist
the collateral facts which DIR. 4, Letheby
has lately marshaled on the subject.
The famous-or Infamous pump on
Broad street, st. James's, is what Lord
Bacon would have called IAN instance
of the lamp'--a clear light thrown upon
the entire matter. At West Ham. In
1857, one side only of a street was
attacked, it was found that the people
had resorted TO one pump, and when it
in 1S49, southern London suffered Sc
verely, aud a certain water supply was
discovered to be propagating the
plague, while the other source in
the district had no noxious properties.
The pesfileuce reappeared IN 1854,
when the old company was furnishing
the best, and the new company the
worst water; and on that occasion the
district which had originally suffered
escaped, while that which had been I'M
touched ia the first attack was now
smitten.
Working people pay dearly. for the
miserable quarters In which they con-.
