Thomas Graham, Esq., Professor of Chemistry at University College, Dr.

Miller, Professor of Chemistry at King's College and Dr. Hoffman, Professor of the Agricultural College of Chemistry, have been appointed Commissioners to inquire into the qualities of the several waters now in use in the Metropolis, and also the supplies proposed for the future.

In reference to the Police arrangements of London in the coming season, a semi-official journal states that nothing is decided on beyond the addition to the present establishment of about a thousand men as supernumeraries, who will ultimately be employed permanently. "There is no truth in the statements of an extension of the Police district from fifteen to twenty miles round the Metropolis."
