There was a large meeting of delegates from the Metropolitan

parishes yesterday, at the Marylebone Court-house, to oppose the Government Water Bill. Mr. Whitmore presided, and the popular leaders in parish matters made strenuous speeches. The resolutions pledged the meeting to "oppose the bill in every possible way" ; and commissioned a deputa- tion to press Sir George Grey for an interview, and urge on him the strong popular feeling against the bill. Sir Benjamin Hall, Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Mowatt, and other Members of Parliament, were present as observers of the proceedings.
