118 VIOLATION OF 7'llE DEAD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL REcustzn. SIR. It has often occurred to me as a very extraordinary circum iitance,inan age so famed fur it s huutugity,benevolenre,and piety, • as the present, that the practice of digging up dead bodies, by what are called resurrection men, for the purpose of supplying „gmbjerts for dissection, to aid the students in surgery, has never yet been sufficiently reprobated, or indeed noticed, by any of the distinguished pions and limitaue is niters of the present day. Surely this canno t be from auy other cause then utter inattention; for who can rationally conceive, that a practice so revolting to common feeling, so wantonly used, and other wise so impious and disgusting, can be. contemplated with in d iferenc by those whose exertions in the cati.e of suffering humanity and morals have hitherto crowned them with the honours of imperishable time, and who are associated on her scroll with the good and great of alleges and climes But, how ever this silence may he interpreted by sonic, to me it has ever appeared an in:.olvalile enigma; hir I can never suppose, at least until 1 um better informed, that this disgraceful' practice is at all reconeileable (whatever specious reasons may be urged in its favour) either with reltgionerr morality. It is . not my intention, in this communication, to enter into a very wide field of observation; but merely, by some few cursory remarks, to draw the attention of your readers; in the hope, that some one better qualified than myself may pursue the theme; as it is a subject which I humbly conceive to he, in its certain mural effects, fraught with the most deadly means of corrupting the source of our best feelings, and brutalizing the human character. _ . . If we look back into the history and progress of civilization from the earliest periods of aigiquity, we shall find that the'. sanctity of the grave ,was proportionably recognized as a prin ciple of piety, with tee advancement and cultivation of im proved manners. The buria of the dead has, at every period, been held as an expiatoty relitsitmcceremony ; and the quiet repose of their mouldering ashes as a necessary means fur the peace of the soul, and as an indispensable respectful duty which the living owed to the manes of the deceased. Nothing can he more la maul, nothing more sweetly moral, nothing snore ref - mealy pious, than this veneration towards those who have pa tell away to that haunt from whence they ought never to return to be cut and mangled, and almost ere their lamented remains are cold, by the ruthkss knife of the unfeeling sur gical operator. Burial places have ever been hallowed spots ; some form or other of religion has at all times consecrated those mournful receptacles; and in general they have been situated remote from the bustle and noise of life, sequestered, peaceful, and hnly. 'fliose who are unmindful of the dead, those who violate the sacred temple of the grave, and who with saceeligions hands outrage the quiet mausoleum of their lifeless brethren, and who pay no voluntary homage of the heart to the tomb, are men who will not scruple to wound the tenderest and hest feelings of our nature, and scar with bruta lity the exquisite sources of sensibility. Those who are indifer_ cat about the c'ead, are unfeelingly careless of the firing. The ancients, though varying in their ceremonies, (lid any thing but disturb the last lied tenement of man; and this was a truly pious feeling, as every religion enjoins the expiatory offering' and prayers, and the undisturbed repose, of the breathless lineaments of the departed. Let him, who regards religion as an incumbent et.ity of man towards the author of his being,' tread lightly and reverentially over the raised turf of the grave; and let him, while he contemplates the calm duelling of its silent inhabitant, reflect on the outrage committed on piety and decency in the wantonly ,disturbing the bones laid lowly at rest. Suered find ituitoircl he the habitations of those who NO longer lire among a . Is this, or is this not, a religious and refined community ? If it is, let Ds act consistently, and let us abandon a practice which is, in its frightful details, impiously disgusting, and "which in its consequences is altogether savagely brutalizing. - It; on the contrary, we have no acquaintance with refinement air religion, let us endeavour to .aint at that degree of civiliza tion, which in the ancients, %Wilma the light of the Gospel, induced them to respect the hones of their bur: 41 fellow mortals. But we have religion; and in the name of our holy faith, which so beautifully prescribes to us the cultivation of the social qualities as a means of salvation, let us purge our habits from such an unliallow eel violation of our moral ditties, and, through the sanctity of the grave, sat au example of real, unaffected piety to the I isn't: generation. But whatever impiety and perverted reason may sophistically urge in its favor, und yet I can hardly anticipate any thing. save only on the miserable ground of expediency, I shall ever he of opinion, that the morals of a et 1111 l funky, involving piety, decency, and refined feeling, is of infinitely mule importance! to general happiness, than this same plea of necessity applied. in justification of the practice, which, in the most liberal view, can only benefit a few mitintimate individuals. To the plea hove es er of expediency, on the score of its utility to the living, I answer, by the mention of one well-known fact; viz. that the world has been more populous than it is nose, and that when the dissection of human trollies was never or scarcely ever practised. The truth is, I believe, that the heiding art Max then merit better known than it is at present; Had that, too, when the ancient operators dissected beasts of atialogoini organization to the Iwnan frame, and when they were so, sem:oil/m4y delicate of violating the house appointed fur . all living. To those who cherish delicacy of sentiment, whether as, husbands, tathi r:, brothers, or loser., this subject cannot but be painfully affecting. In their respective relations to the departed,.let them ask their own unperverte d judgments, and consist their best feelings, as to what mould be their horror and indignation against those who practised their singical skill on the beloved remains of that interesting being with whutn they Haul unto so tenderly asaaaat e a ; and who had, iiii„ut v,:nyt.e, turned nit the green earth to drag from the I irr, tile wife , the sister, or the anistre:s of their purest affee lion,.

ADDRESSES ON THE ROYAL MARRIAGE. Monday, the Lord Mayor, attended by 17 Aldermen, the Sheriff's, and Court of Common Council, went in grand procession to Carlton House, and were introduced to the presence of the Prince Regent, Who was seated op the Throne, by the Lord Chamberlain ; when an Address of ,Congratulation on the nuptials of his Royal Daughter was read by the Recorder ; to which his Royal Highness returned a most gracious answer. The cavalcade then proceeded to the Queen's Palace, preceded by a party of Life Guards, and were introduced to her Majesty, who was seated on a new throne placed in the centre of the grand saloon, accompanied by the Princesses Elizabeth and Mary, and attended by her ChamberhUns, &c. ; when the Recorder read an Address on the same subject, to her Majesty, which was most graciously answered : and they had the honour, severally, .to kiss ker Nl:tjesty's hand. They then returned to their carriages, and proceeded to Camelford-house, round which an immense, crowd had assembled ; but Sir N. Conant, with a large posse of Bow-street Officers, being in the street, complete order was preserved. On the procession entering Hereford street, the Princess appeared at one of the windows, and was greeted by the heart-felt acclamations of the people. On entering the the 'Lord Mayor infivued the Gentlemen of the Corporation, that the room in which they were to he received was only capable of receiving 30 of them at a time ; but that the Princess would see every Gentleman. This regulation was chf,ertUlly :ulopted ; and on his Lordship's entrance, the Recordei read the Address, which her Royal Highness graciously answere& and the rest of the Gentlemen was admitted in rotation, the whole of whom had the honour .to kiss her Royal Highness's hand. The same ceremony was then observed to the Prince of Saxe Coburg, who was dressed in reg:- mentals, wore his several orders, and was attended by Sir R. Barker and t3aron Hardenbrock. The Meath:Ts of the Corporation, as well as the setendants oa the or casion, wore white thvours, and his Lordship had white ribbons affixed to each shoulder.

Since writing the preceding, I hare read in the l'ouition Cormier, a letter signed T. mid •r date of May tilt, whirl' po sitively states, that the wriJer knows for a fact, that theboily of Ilarsh the decor. was brought into Wellington for the pur pose of being tanned, :And which process was actually perform ed in the midst of the nitwit bridal murriineat, aid uaeirling deri sion. Now, though here was no wanton violation of the grave, as the wretched criminal wan given up for dissection by the offended laws of his country, yet it is an incontrovertible proof of the disgusting and brutal treatment to *Welt the unman hotly is exposed. when placed in the barbarian hands of surgical operators, and st satisfy every mind where ge nerons delicacy of sentinweit and pions feeling reside, that the continuance of such practices would better agree with the conduct of cannibals, than that °linen who hypocritically call themselves Christians. I refer your readers to the 'Newspaper, for further particulars relative to the manly and fetting man ner in which the writer 11.01 justly reprehended the infamous conduct of those stltu so outraged public decency. INTELLIGENCE RESPECTING LITERATURE, SCI ENCE, AND THE Alas ; sTATIsTics, rouricAL ECONOMY, Sic. IS has been observed by Strabo, that the principal Geographical discoveries of the ancients were matle by land, and wero the result of military expeditions. In the present day, however, much infernattion in regard to the Geography of remote countries vary little knoan, as well as to the nature of their inhabitants and productions, has beer ob tained in consequence of diplomatic missions, but particularly wine of those undertaken by servants of the East India Company. As instances. we may refer to Turner's Embassy to Thibit, Syines's Journey to the Kingdom of Ava, and a work lately published. entitled. " An Account of the kingdom of Caubul and its Heeendencies in Persia, Tartary, and India, by the Hon. Niountstuart Elphinstane." Caubul. is a kingdom known to the Persiaus by the name of Atfganistan, lyiea between the two great empires of Hindi:man anti Persia. Its length from North to South, is about 550 miles, and its breadth from East to West 600. Its population is estimated at fourteen 'Milton.. A court try thus situated, inhabited by such a number of hardy mountaineers, bred to arms, and governed by a warlike and enterprising Prince, could not be beheld with indifference by the British Government in India, especially at a time when the missionaries of Buonaparte were exerting themselves in every quarter to excite enemies against us. It was thought expedient therefore, when Gardanne was dispatched to the king of Persia, to send an embassy to Caubul, in order to establish a friendly relation with the sovereign Shah Shit:pith; or at any rase to ex amine the nature of the tannery, and to sound the dispositio", of the .Court, in case the French should attempt to penetrate into Asia This mission was entrusted to Mr. Elphinatonc; and his suite consisted of a secretary, two assistant secretaries, two surveyor', two captains of the army, six lieutenants, an escort if two hundred cavalry, and two hundred infantry. One place diacribtal in the ambassador's route, is very singular. The Indus is there compressed between two mountains, into a deep channel, only three hundred and fifty yards broad; and along the base of one of these mountains, a road is cut for upwards of two miles. '• lie town of Culls-Baugh. built on the steep face of the hill, each street rising abuse the other, in the form of a stair, over hangs this road, which a little further is cut out of solid salt, at the foot of cliffs, (imposed of that mineral, more than a hundred feet in height above the river; this salt is hard, .clear, and almost pure, but streaked and tinged in some parts with red. After a tedious journey, partly through desarts, the embassy arrived at the town of Peshawer, which is situated in a plain nearly thirty-five miles in diameter. It is upwards of five miles round, and contains about toratem inhabitants. Tile houses, for the most part, are of unburnt brick, three stories high, the lowest of which are used chiefly as shops. The streets are narrow, and haveasavements sloping to a kennel in the middle. Here the ani bassador. had an audience of the king, of whom the following descrip. Lion is given. " The king of Caubul was a handsome man, about 30 ' years of - age, of an olive complexion, with a thick black beard. The expression of his countenance was dignified and pleasing, his voice clear, and his address princely. We thought at first, that he had an armour of jewels; but on close inspection, we found this to ben mistake, and his real dress to consist of a green tunic, witiblarge flowers in gold and precious stones, over which were a large breast-plate,.if diamonds, shaped like two fiat fleur-de-lis, an ornament of the same kind on each tliigh, large enamelled bracelets on the arms (above the elbow), anti many tither jewels in different places. In one of the bracelets was the Cohenvor, known to be one of the largest diamonds in die world. ; There I were alas mine strings of very large pearls, put on like cross belts, but I loose. The crown was about nine inches high, not ornamented with jewels as the European crowns are, but to appearance, entirely -formed of those precious materials. It seemed to he radiated like the ancient crowns, and behind the rays appeared peaksdpurple velvet; some small branches with pendants, seemed tc project from the crown, but the whole was so complicated, and so dazzling, that it was difficult to under, and, sad impossible to describe. The throne was covered with cloth ads/rued with pearls, on which lay a sword, and a small mace set with jewels. The niom was open all round; the centre was supported by four feet pillars, in the midst of which was a marble fountain. The floor was covered with the richest carpets, and round the edges were slips of silk embroidered with gold, for the khauns to stand on. The view from the ball was beautiful; immediately below was an extensive garden, full of cypresses and other trees, and beyond was a plain of the richest verdure; here and there were pieces of water, and shining streams; and the whole was boantiml by mountains, some dark, and ethers covered with snow." The dinette and productions of Afghanis , tan are as varied as the face of the. country, sonic districts being covered with snowy mountains, and other, with burning sands, similar ae.those in the deserts of Arabia ; the thermometer in sonic parts stands at tle deg. or 113 deg., and sometimes it rises even to• zo deg. The principal animals are, l inos, tigers, leopards, wolves. hytcsav , jarkalls, mmeis, and dromedaries: there are also horses. inures. oxen. and but. falocs, and abundance of broad-tailed sheep. 'fine common trees are die oak, pine, cedar, cypress, walnut, anti wild olive; the mulberry, tarnari,k, willow, plane, poplar, and others are Mund in he plains. The Algiunt are said to he descended from the Jews; and we hope, that a farther enquiry into the history and literature of these people, may lead to some important discnvery respecting this moult' v and its inha hitat is in genertl; some idea may he formed by the ailliteirg extract.
