as spring water, in general; but it has been 
found that, by sinking or boring to a greater 
depth, that the water is not only preferable, 
being perfectly free from the quality of hard- 
ness, and of course purer ; but also in greater 
abundance. The strata, under which these 
lower springs lie, are as follows: ~ 
TF 
Vegetable mould 1 
Brick loam A 
Course gravel 6 
Finer gravel and sand 6 
Blue clay, or marl, 
terminating inaquick 
sand, in which are the 
springs, 
Tt is therefore intended to excavate, through 
the blue clay, and by stopping out the upper 
Springs, to supply the towns from the under 
springs alone,—-The capital, raised for the 
undertaking is, 40,000/. in 50/. shares ; the 
estimated expence being about 32,000/. 
The towns of Portsmouth and Portsea, from 
their extensive population, necessarily con- 
tain a great number of poor and indigent chil- 
dren ; and although there are many charitable 
institutions now existing for the purposes of 
education, yet they are by no means of sucha 
magnitude as torender further exertion unne- 
cessary. From these considerations, it is in 
contemplation to open a subscription for the 
purpose of obtaining the means of erecting a 
school on the plan of Dr. Bell and Mr. Lan- 
caster, capable of educating at least four hun- 
dred pour children and for detraying the ex- 
nses attending the same.
