We mat endeavour to save the poor the extra 'it Me thrown upon them in coolie queues of compulsory extra-mural burial, and toppers them from the sight of the irreverent disposal of their dead. The latter evil may be remedied by protests on the part of the parties attending funerals. The former appears to us to be solely owing to the want of railway communication not being made gene rally applicable for the purpcees of funerals. If every cemetery were in direct communication with a rail way, the expense of female would be marvellously lessened. This, in fest, appears to be the only way in which the difficulty can be met. No undertaker could compete with a railway in providing modes of transit to a cemetery. No cemetery should in future be established without showing that its situation is such as to afford easy and cheap railway communica tion. Arrangements might easily be made by which every objection to the plan might be obviated, and thus a great scandal prevented and a great on the poor removed.

The appointment is creditable to the Lord Chancellor, and due to Mr. Watson's position at the bar. By MG Watson'. elevation a vacancy occurs in the representation of Hull, which will be probably filled by Mr. J. Clay or Mr. E. James. No appoint ment has yet been me& to the vacant cake of Chief Justice of the Comm.. Pleas. By the •ttiigqoette and practice of the peofeesica, the Attorneyeseral for the time being is understood, almost as a matter of cause, to have die refusal of the appoint ment. In the event of Sir Alexander Cockburn declining it, then are various rumours as to the probable disposition of the office. It is thought by some that the Lord Chancellor will offer it to Sir Frederic Thesiger ; by others, that Mr. Justice Erie will be elevated from the position he now occupies of pulsate judge in the Court of Queen's Bench to the Chief Jueticeship of the Common Pleas. Either of them appointments would be popular, and the latter in every way unexceptionable. Should Sir Alexander Cockburn alter all elect to take the vacant office, Sir R. Bothell would be Attorney-General, and the Soli citor-Generalship would time become vacant. In that event the names of Mr. Edwin James, the eminent Queen's counsel, and of Mr. Collier, the member for Plymouth, have been mentioned in connexion with the Solicitor-Generalship. LONDON, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 4. AMIDST al the cheers which philanthropists have effected in the condition of the poor of late yule, we look in vain for two. The poor man is neither better lodged during his life nor carried to the grave with more decency when he is dead. He insults our delicate susceptibilities by the foulness of his mise rable dwelling places, and we drive long streets of palaces through the spots where he and his brethren hive, sad mad him tar away from the neighbourhood of his 'Sweated labour to increase the discomfort and unhealthiness of quarters already ever-crowded. We sickened at the loathsome burying grounds appointed for the poor, where the clergyman buried corpses wholesale, standing between three or four graves, the tenants of which were committed to the earth durum one reading of the service. The clergyman hurried over this service in order to withdraw u quickly se possible from the pestilential effluvia, and the dead were left with scarcely more than the three handfulla of dirt to cover them, which the piety of the ancients required should be thrown over an unburied corpse. We have diminished thin nuisance, but in so doing have thrown a heavy weight upon the poor. They have now to carry their dead as they beet may a long weary way from their homes to suburban burying-places. Even than whose means enable them to reach the cemeteries in mourning coaches feel, the gloom of the mournful ceremony increased by the additional time required, but in the caw of the poor this feeling is rendered eta more bitter. They can seldom afford to pay for proper conveyance, and the coffins containing the eremite of their relatives are transported in cabs or outs, or in other modes even more repugnant to decency. The neighbourhood of the New-road is remarkable for exhibitions of this kind. Any polite spectacle laying claim to solemnity of celebratiee more wretched and sorrowful it is impossible a' use. We may search continental towns in vela to discover sights of the same nature. Owing to the magnitude of the three parishes of St. Marylebone, Papers', and Islington, and the number of the inha bitants, a large portion of the 61,000 funerals which take place in London yearly come from this district. It is emphatically • district for the poor, and it is impossible to pass through many of the streets which lead northwards from the New-road and City-road without meeting • poverty-stricken procession jour neying towards one of the northern cemeteries in the _ _ UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, Brat miss for the etrodamteal year was hold as Saturday last.

Sorrow for their lase, anxiety for the future, the hardships of which will be increased by the expenses of the day, and fatigue and weariness occasioned by the necessity of walking, are visible on the countenances of most of thesounfor- Inflates. Society, looking after its own health, and theirs, has banished the bodies of their dead to a dia. tance, where decomposition may take place without producing evil effects, bat has smoothed away noes of the difficulties which the distance itself introduces. There are no bills more exorbitant than undertakers' bills, and the weary family, after eon mitting the corpse of a beloved one to the grave, will Dave to commence the life of to-morrow with a new burden thrown upon it by the very event which has perhaps taken away the strong arm which has till now been all that has stood between it and want. The scene when the procession has reached the cemetery is lull of disgusting as well us of sorrowful features , . While funerals took place in the grave yerds of the perishes where the deaths occurred, the parishioners formed a small public which in many instances exercised a restraining influence over the officials, whose carelessness or want of feeling tended to make them neglectful of the proprieties. The respectable inhabitants of a parish would not generally look on quietly and see the burial ground, in which their forefathers or friends lay, desecrated. But public opinion acts with little force la a cemetery. The mourners are generally too sough occupied to pay much attention to what passe arena them, and spectators attracted there by eashuNA, however disgusted, will be most likely to Eqpt. has happened, after they leave the ground.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have reached us. The Epoca says it is positive that, as already an nounced, Queen Christina is to go to Rome to attend the acconohement of her daughter the Princess is Drago, but that she baa no intention to return to Spaia for the present. The Espana says :—" We have the satisfaction to announce that the recogni tion of the Queen of Spain by the Emperor of all the Russia is a fast accompli. The ambassador charged to make it has already set cut and will soon arrive at Madrid. This important news was trans mitted yesterday. by telegraph from Paris." The Minister of Finance, according to the Epoca, was so occupied in providing means to purchase food and to meet the of ligatiocs of the treasury and the half-year's divi dends which fall due at the end of December, that he had to postpone the financial measures which had been expected. It was reported that the Cortes were about to be summoned. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (now ova owx PARIS. MONDAY EVENING. M. Breniee arrived in Paris this morning. A telegraphic despatch from Marseille' says that he left that place yesterday for Compiegne, which was doubtless true, but Paris was a necessary step in his route, whioh he will probably pursue without loss of time, so u to state to the Emperor himself the cir cumstance" attending his departure from Naples. M. de Kisseleff, the Russian Ambassador, left Paris for Compiegne to-clay, with an autograph letter from the Czar to the Emperor Napoleon. It is remarked that his invitation to a private visit before he has presented his credentials is a very special favour. The Emperor will return to St. Cloud on the 9th, end M. de Kimleff will be received there in state on Monday next. On the 16th the Emperor and the court will go to Fontainebleau for a fort night. _ _ The French semi-official journals say but little as yet of the news from Constantinople, but they say enough to show that it causes great irritation. They admit the truth of as little of it as they possibly can. That Reschid Paella has succeeded Asli Pacha as Grand Vizier is certain; but whether the other mi nisters are also changed is not, it is said, positively known, and a belief is expressed that Feed will con tinue to be Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Pop declines to adopt the opinion of its col league, the Pubis, that the fact of Rewhid Pacha's appointment infers the triumph of English and Austrian influence on the question of the evacuation of the Principalities and the Black Sea, and thinks it " better to wait for more positive intelligence." It then, according to the cue given, claims for France the credit of having wished, by the Treaty of Paris, to bring Turkey into the circle of European nations, and to defend her not only from Russian ambition, but from all foreign pressure; and asks, doubtingly, " Have we been deceived, and have we failed in this generous object r Probably, had M. Thouvenel gained the point, this question about foreign influence in Turkey would not have been raised jest now by the French journals. Further evidence of the dispo. sition of the French foreign-office to take the matter in dudgeon is furnished by another paper published under its immediate auspices, the Verde. While the Pays differs, es I have said, from the Prairie, the Verite, acting dorms. upon later instructions, differs from this moesing's coristitutiosnel, which expressed a belief that Russia being, according to the latest news, about to give up the point which has "served as the pretext" of the Austrian and English policy, the cabinets of Vienna and London cannot fail to enter into the common accord. " This," says the Virile, " is not altogether our opinion, for we think that if, as everything stems to show is the - r - case, England and Austria make use of the secondary question of Bolgrad to adopt • personal policy apart from the interests common to all the Western Powers, they will easily contrive to find another pretext if that should be cut away from them. The fluctuations at the Bourse to-day have been very considerable. The Credit Mobilier has been using those means which are often efficacious to keep up the market, in order to salute the concession of the Russian rallways,but the manceavres met with bat transient success. The Rents for account opened at 66fr. 65c., roes to 67fr., and afterwards declined to the opening price. closing with a fall of 20c. For cash there wawa rise of 10c.

(mom ova OWN SMYRNA, 0cr..26. Every poet from the South brings a fresh tale of the melancholy results of the earthquake of the 12th of this month. The island of Crete has suffered ter ribly. 800 persons have found their graves among the ruins of the town, and several small villages on the island have been utterly destroyed; the victims in Campos and Scarpento number upwards of 200, and I expect a like sad tale from the coast of Caramania; where the villages of Marmaritza and Dallisni have been terribly shattered; u yet, however, I have been unable to obtain any very reliable information as to the number of lives lost. In the interior they have escaped as happily as we have here. Frightful as all this appear., the Smyrna people take it very quietly : an earthquake comes—a few houses fall down, perhaps a minaret, with a live mollah in the top, topples over, to the destruction of the onuezeim, and the disfigurement of the mosque. For a few seconds the town is terror-struck, they " shriek the timid and stand still the brave," the ladies get sea sick and there 's an end of it ; they thank Providence, Mahomet, or their stars, that it was no worse, and go on as if nothing had happened. I confess I cannot take it so philosophically; I know what a typhoon is in the China seas—a cyclone on the Malabar coot—or a hurricane off the Mauritius. I have been in all ; but the earthquake is far more appalling than either ; underhand and invidious, it does its worst in silence, without any of that grand fury that attends the atmospheric phenomena, and lends a charm to their greatest terrors. The topic of the day is the Bank, and who is to be the successful competitor. Ido not think the Turks have the least appreciation of the advantages the country will reap from a genuine currency; on the contrary, they would rather that affairs went on as they are at present. The confusion of half a dozen currencies—Medjidies, Calmed, and Beschlika ; Tche rook money, Tariff money, and Bill money—affords opportunities for an occasional financial coup on the part of government thnt gives the Sultan a few millions of piastres, and decks the shores of the Bos phorus with a new palace. But the bank is to grant a loan—that is enough to recommend it to the Turk —only on condition, however, that the base coin and paper money is recalled. The Turk groans at the idea of order, but he must have the loan, and he submits. As to endeavouring to make the country repay this and other loans by developing its resources, the Turk perspires at the ides. It will be done som►how. Bacallum ! . _ How are the railway people progressing in Eng land ? We hope a few weeks may bring tidings of the establishment of a company with some good names to it. The Sultan guarantees 6 per cent.; but there is a better guarantee than that in the absolute necessity that exies for finding some means of transporting to the cosat the rich and abundant pro ductions of the provinces of Anatolia and Caramania. AN ADVENTURER IN THE MEDITERRANEAN) The Malta Times, after giving its readers an ac count of Mr. Robson's deliegnencies and doings, thus al ludes to a visit to, and precipitate flight from, that island for the Continent: "Characters somewhat of the above description have at different times visited Malta ; and but very recently en in dividual of this genus honoured our little island with his presence. Assuming an sir of consequence he induced many to believe he was especial correepondeet of a London papa sent to this island by the especial desire of Lord Palmer ston. He elaimed his Royal Rightism the Doke of Cam bridge as Lis particular friend ; hinted at certain private claims that made the Date anions to serve him ; he exhibited an alleged private note from his royal highness to corroSsrate his statement. He not only stated he wee also in the Duke of Buckieeham's confidence, was acquainted with his secrets, and was hie guide and director, bat affirmed be had 7001 per annum from ►is grace, as a consideration for money he had ad vanced him some years ago, to the amount of 10.0001. ; and he actually furnished • house in the vicinity of Valetta, which he pretended to be very anxious ts have arranged In the best order, as the duke was coming to stay the winter with him in Malts. His great political folluerce, and his friendship with his Hoyal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, aided by his con anion with the Eoglith press, bad induced, he said, the Earl of Clarendon to offer him, la a private letter, • oath late in the Black Bea, or any otter office in his gilt. He introduced everywhere a young tempos he oath/A i.. wile; and had the audacity to put himself forward as a candidate for an elected member of the email of government. In mem' instances he borrowed money under false {intone's, which he forget to return; and incurred debts wh he could obtaia credit; some of which he psid in worthless cheques. Amongst other ingenious tricks, he invited a party to dine with him on • particular day, inclodieg some high officials, but as he took care to embark for Marseilles on the day preceding, they were cteattel of their repast no leas than of his choice company, and that, by a clever rum, he effected without suspicion his departure from the Wand, which, it appears, bast M come toe warm for him. His dis honest dealings did not end hers ; fr, taking passage in a government transport, he paid for his food on board with a bill which was diebonoured. Biros his departure, it has come to light that he came to this island to 'sold the conse quences of a most diarrpotable bankruptcy In England; aria that the lady he paraded as his wile had no right to that title. Many in Melta have cause to regret having ban deceived by his special pleadings. It is to be hoped that this will prove • waning to the community at large, and will pat perp:e on their guard as to toe credence and credit to he given to individuals who so largely trumpet forth their own importance, means, and copse:ions." A FATAL DUEL. Yesterday'• Golignani has the following. Is it a canard t " A letter from Aisle-Chapelle describer a fatal duel which took place near Manbeim on the 28th ult., between Mar Meer D—, a French journalist, and a Prussian officer, named B—. In consequence of some obsen►tions of an offensive nature mad* by B— in speaking of the French government, D— requested him to retreat the las gusge which he had employed. Matters would probably have been arranged in a satisfactory manner, had not D— beeome impatient at the hesitation of the Prussian officer, and permitted himself to call the latter a coward. A duel was instantly decided on, end as it was already half-past five in the evening, no time was to be lest. The Wage nista therefore crossed the Maine and prrre•ded to Lad wigehaven, a neutral territory, situated in Bavaria. The pistol bad been chosen for arm, sod the two ad fee placed themselves in position and fired at a riven signal. Neither was Injured, but that eircum-tarce icereasee the rage of the principal•, who refused to listen tr the coccilia tory language of their seconds. The Prussian officer was perticulsrly violent, and asserted that fear alone prevented 1) from pursuing the duel to death. It was then decided that in order to allow no chance of 'rove to one of the antagonists, a single pistol shoal] be chsreted, and that the principals s:,ould choose the arm with their eyes closed, and then fire at three paces. This was accimplished by the pair, who then took their around. The Prue. elan fired first, hut fortune lad bets yell him, ►s D— remained unhurt. The latter in his tarn aimed at his ad versary, who, pale and with contracted features, awaited his fate, which was no longer doubtful. The finger pressed on the trigger, but by a providential charce the cap alone ex ploded, the pistol not going off. The seconds of D— then declared the honour of both pasties esti-flee' ; but the Prus sian officer Mutated on blood being spilt, end .fter a length ened discumioo, he obtained that a duel with swords should take place. The sensed' insisted, however, •hat at the first blood drawn the affair should then tetmisete. The princi pals then placed themselves in pi sition, and after a severe rr•gule D—, in pa• eying a feint exposed Lis body to the sword of his adversary, who deiivired two thrusts in suc cession ; the first struck the right arm, but the second pierced the chest of the unfortunate D—, who expired • few minutes after."

PERILOUS BALLOON DESCENT.—The Verona o'a- Me gives an amount of an atcensiou in an air-balloon, effected a few days ago by M. Auboin Brunet, the aeronaut, in the Arena of Verona. The balloon rose with tremendous velocity to an altitude of 7,200 feet, when, owing to the extreme rarefaction of the air and the had stile of the valve, which it memo c 'old not be of tined to let out the gas, the balloon bent in three distinct pisers. Fcrtunatelly the shreds adhered to the outer net, so as to form a hind of parachute, and the aeronaut found blown descending with appal ling velocity. but yet with sufficient reguls:ity to enable him to climb up the net and to formes the flopping eilk, so as to render the di scent Ina precipitous. He then, being stall at a height of about 400 feet, got girl's out of the ear, bet this time to tiling to its bottom, in order to avoid the concussion and break the violence of the landing by the elasticity of bis legs. He succeeded, and landed at Santa Lucie, a place sear Verins. For some minutes afterwards be was completely deaf, bet this coon wore otl, and he re turned to Verona that tame seining, with only a few slight bruiser. 1 I I I
