LONDON. TUESDAY. AUGUST 3, 1852. been forgotten The Dead Alan's Question has not by the people, if it has been slurred over by the Government. Yesterday forenoon a meeti ng was convened by the churchwardens of St. Mary Abbott's, at Kensington, for the purpose of enabling the rate-payers to determine whether a burial ground aheuld be provided for the locality under the provisions of the Act of 15th and 16:h Vic., cap. 85. The circumstance is sufficiently illustrative of the evils of that . miserable system against which we have so long, and so earnestly, and, unhappily as yet, so ineffectually inveighed. Instead of witnessing the commencement of a grand and comprehensive effort on the part of the supreme authorities to dissipate the evils complained of during the last thirteen years by Mr. G. A. WALLER and his sympathisers, we are perpetually doome d to observe now as. in one direction, and now in another, a few oc c_iota' and scattered efforts to establish th e d esired scheme of extramural interments.

It W 33 observed yesterday at the vestry meeting above referred to, that the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests had recently expressed his inten- I tion of purchasing the West of London and West minster Cemetery in the name of her MAJESTY'S Go vernment. This assurance was given, it appears, to the reverend gentleman, who announced the circum stance to the assembled rate-payers, the venerable Archdeacon of Middlesex. The intimation afforded another clue to the failure always observable in the official efforts to secure the benefits of extra mural sepulture to the metropolis. Whenever Minis ters have consented to come forward themselves to the aid of the un f ortunate inhabitants of the capital, it has been invariably in some way wholly inadequate to the extraordinary nature of the emergency. Whereas, the city of Paris is at once (in a sanitary sense) blessed and (in a topographical sense) beauti fied by the vast area and picturesque arrang ements of Pere la Chaise, London is compelled to witness the opening of six or seven minor cemeteries inappropriate as regards situation, and altogether insufficient as regards their dimensions. Already we have re peatedly taken occasion to insist upon the false economy of this peddling system of arrangements. We have protested against the folly of this left handed, wall-eyed method of proceeding in the direc tion of sanitary improvements. What the capital of England requires is not ` a small cemetery at Nor wood, or ,one at Highgate, or one at Brompton, but a grand burial-place such AS the projected Necr o p olis at Wokin g, wh ere 50,000 bodies might be interred every year, and yet four centuries be required, even at that rate of sepul ture, to fill up the whole of the ground to a moderate depth. Such tire the means by w hi c h a l one th e health of the capital could be insured, and by which and its vicinity could t b b e e aranantuerailarvor of don Among other enormous social advantages of a different character, we look confidently for the fulfilment of our hopes in this par ticular to the present ad • of the SvlSers OVEREIGN. The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company are, as usua l, ear l y i n th e fi e ld. Th e half yearly general meeting was held yesterday, at the Bridge-house Hotel, under the presidency of the chairman, J. LAING, Esq., M.P., when a dividend of 11 . 1 2s. per cent. was declared for the half-year ending the 30th June last. It must, however, be borne in mind that this has been the most unfavourable portion of the year, and that the Brighton directors do not follow the practice generally adopted of leaving a reserve fund for the purpose of equalising the dividend. That which has been fairly earned, and which is properly available for the purposes of dividend, is . fully divided among the shareholders, and the quotations of prices on the Stock Exchange afford the best evidence that the practice is not disapproved of by the community. It was announced that the traffic of the :past half. year was about equal to that of the corresponding period of 1851, a statement that was deemed highly satisfactory, when it was considered that the re had been a large increase in the receipts during the former period, on account of the Great Exhibition ; and also that the inclement and unsettled state of the weather during the Derby week, and the greater part of June, had reduced the receipts at those times far below what might reason ably have been anticipated. It therefore showed a very auspicious state of affairs, when, not withstanding these drawbacks, there had been no falling off whatsoever from the former six months, the most profitable there had been for many years. In alluding to the accident that happened last year at New Cross, and for which 'the company bad to pay in the whole no less than 3,5001., the Chairman com mented upon the unfairness of the existing law, and the hardship of compelling railway companies to be the insurers against all casualties that may happen upon their lines, and contrasted the case of the loss of the Amazon, where no demand was made against the Steam-packet Company, and they were considered to have behaved liberally in giving 200 guineas to the fund for the relief of the sufferers, with that of the trifling collision at New Cross, which cost the company 14 times the amount, although no really serious injury was ..ustained. It is not the law, however, which makes tjee difference so much as the __:_e of jurors to Facile , ' iallway companies pay extravagantly on the most trivial pretexts. There can be no doubt tat railway companies are severely and most unwarrantably mulcted in every stage of their proress. From the first publication of the projected undertakings during their progress through Parliament until when in full operation, they are charged not only an income-tax to the national exchequer, but also a pasienger-tax of 5 per cent. on the gross re ceipts from passengers, without any allowance being made for expenses in carrying on the traffic. They are also victimised to no small extent by the various parishes through which they pass for poor-rate, and also exposed to exorbitant demands for compensation, and occasionally great impos ition, in the event of any unfortunate accident, althoug h they may have take n every precaution that human foresight could provide. The suggestion that the principle of the Cirriers' Act should be extended to lives, and that nothing beyond a certain amount should be charged unless 1 there had been an extra payment to an insurance fund, appears well worthy of consideration. Two persons, men of rank and station, may be travelling in the same train, and both killed by a casualty over which the directors had no control, but for which they were responsible in law — e. g., the misconduct of a servant whose qualifications had been carefully tested, but who thought proper to disobey or neglect the regulations by which he should be guided. For one, they might have to pay little, if anything, as his family had derived no profit from his life. Bat for the other they might have to pay 20,0001. or 30,000/. sterling, although equal care was exercised towards both, and they bad given exactly equal sums for their jour ne y. This certainly appears to be a hard ship. There is justice in the demand that where heavy damages would be incurred, proportionately high fares should be paid. Authority was also given to the directors to borrow 1.95,00 0 / ., includ i ng the sums necessary for the Crystal P alace traffic. We trust that the admirable Project, t o which we alluded some weeks since, of establishing,a, salt-water baths in • It is indeed of th e ... sua ee ma an undertaking d be carried into speedy execution. one which, if judice.rtaking of national importance, comfort of the inhabitants execution, would m ate r i a lly and efficiently carried into promote the health and prove a source eta of e the metropolis, and o p f erso i m u ra s e u n u se ab li e ro to fit to the company. b at hi ng , to whom *would be There are many Palace of obtain salt-water as the permanent e u r mt itself m an o s e utmost would value, and might be calculated on of attraction then and scribers.

We cannot pass from this subject without alluding to another matter in which, although the Brighton Company are in no d eg ree concerned, the health and comfort of the people may be largely promoted. Several gentlemen of scientific attainments on Saturday visited the water sources from whence it is intended to supply the metropolis with pure and wholesome water from the bill tops, in place of that now in use. Mr. F. 0; WARD clearly explained the eupertaltj '' • -, of the pure spring over the sewage-tainted water now supplied, and the immense ' pecuniary sav:ng ., to say nothing of the sanitary scheme. A report of the proceedings will be found in anotherpart of our impression, to which we would earnestly invite public attention.

The Presse, in the last weekly commercial bulle tin, says : " Some orders b e g in to be received by the manufac turing houses for the de p artments of the south and f o r elus i ve ly with the elections, haelately sent som e important o rders. The Parisian trade i s st il l very exportation deli, but the perio d is not y et arriv ed when bu siness occupiede s , and England , w hich ha s been far some time generally becomes active. The manufactories in the de partments are well occupied; purchasers of woollen and cotton goods present themselves, and sales would be more extensive if prices were not so high. A further rise is spoken of at Mulhouse and at Rouen. The trade in corn has been very active. It has been said that wheat of the new crop would bo of rather middling q uality, but as favourable accounts have been re ceived from many of the departments, as well as from abroad, purchasers will not submit to pay a higher price. The same remark may be applied to wines and spirits. Sp ecu l ators h a ve taken advantage of the presence of disease in many of the vine yards to spread general alarm, and to produce an ellOr", mons rise. It has, however, been found that the evil . was not so serious u s it had been represented, and th ere Is every reason to hope that the crop may produce more than three-fourths of an ordinary one.. The rise has consequently been followed by .a material fall, and it is expected that many speculators in the mar k e ts of the south will be serious sufferers." Examinations for the admission to the Ecole Nor male were to commence yesterday. 163 young men have demanded to compete for the 25 places of pupils which have to be given this year, and 141 of them have been admitted. Of these 135 are Catholics, 4 Protestants, and 2 Jews. Of the 22 rejected candi dates 18 are Catholics, 3 Jews, and 1 Protestant. It will appear from this that the rumours which have been current that it was intended to prohibit Protes tants and Jews from competing were totally un founded. The Constitstionnel has a regular Derbyite arti cl6 It says, remarking on the late elections in England — "All parties, with the exception of the Conservative one, have suffered severe losses in the late elections; the Conservative party alone comes out of it not only intact, but strengthened. The situation is therefore good for the Government, which supports itself on that party. Whatever may be the calculations made, one fact is in disputable, and that is, the Tory party counts twice the number of any other fradtion in the House of Commons. To place it in a minority it would require to unite, not only two of these fractions, but all the three, and even then the three must be unanimous. It may be said with reason that, setting aside the question of protection, Lord Darby was always secure of having a majority. That majority will be compact and stable; it will not be formed, like that of Lord John Russell for the last two years, of elements changing every day at the price of daily negotiatiOn. No one besides conce the from himself that the slightest apprehension on subject of affairs on the Continent will suffice to rally round the Ministry all the wavering votes, and a cer tain number of Members whose family relations con cert with the Whigs, bat whose opinions are sincerely Conservative. The appearance of a complication in Europe'would give a majority of 'eighty to Lord Derby." M. SoMMIEB, one of the representatives of the Jura, who was exiled after the events of December, has received permission to return to France. It is said to be in contemplation to carry into exe cution one of the plans of the Imperial epoch, which consists in converting , the Luxembourg into a pro menade, completely isolated from any h a bitation, and enclosed with iron railings, and accessible on all sides. The garden will thus be surrounded with fine and wide streets, similar to the Rues de l'Est and de l'Ouest. In this project the Rue Soufflot is joined to the Rue Corneille, and the elbow formed by the meet ing of the Rues Vaugirard, Monsieur le Prince, and d'Enfer will disappear.

Madrid journals of the 28th have been received. They contain a rumour that Government was seri ously thatit occupied m ay b e r eady with for r e t bper Corte, w hich is expected soon to be assembled. the budget, The Madrid Gazette states that the losses in the preparation " ofti last civil war had been ascertained to amount to 5,728,309 reals, and had been paid. The Duke and Duchess DE MONWENSIER arrived at Corunna on the 23d, and left shortly for Santiago. The President of the Council was expected on the 20th ult. to he Drpoant nt tip° adjudioation of tha rail way from Aranjuez to Almansa. The Diario _Espanol asks, " How is it that Spain, with a surface little less than France, with a fertile soil which bears every class of products, and in which mineral wealth abounds, with great ports on the ocean and Mediterranean, with a mercantile marine of some importance, and with 16 millions of inhabitants, occu pies so subaltern a place in the political map f Eu rope ?" And it considers that the usual reply given to the question, viz., bad government, decay, backward state of industry, Scc., though containing somewhat of truth, does not go to the essence of the matter. It is to the inveterate habit of servilely imitating everything French that the Diario Espanol mainly attributes the subaltern position occupied by this country. It observes that the importance of a people does not depend so much on its material wealth as on its character and spirit; and instances Prussia, which with a population about the same as Spain, and less extent of territory—which is, besides, scattered, and not compact like that of Spain —yet holds a higher position than the latter. " Why is this ?" it asks ; and replies, " For a very simple reason, because she (Prussia) never forgets her founder, FREDERICK We, on the contrary, separate our view from our glo rious history, and have only eyes to look at France. Of what avail to us would be a marine, railroads, in dustry, and all material improvements, if our educa tion, customs, habits, and laws are French ? Spain, however much her wealth may increase, will be always a secondary and subaltern nation as long as she has not a light and life of her own," &c. An individual who had his eyes always fixed on another in order to resolve how to act, would be not a man but a shadow; a n d if, i n addition, he contrived only to imitate his model in what is bad, it would be difficult to know how to qualify him. Yet this is exactly what Spain does with regard to France, according to the Diario Espanol :—" The liberty of the press is suppressed in France," it says, " and the decree of suppression is translated here in a moment. Parliamentary Go vernment disappears there, and in an instant changes in the constitution are talked of here. That our circumstances are very different from those of the neighbouring republic matters not ; let us do what is done there; this is our system . . . . our system is to copy, and we must continue copying." The consequence (adds this journal) is that in Spain there is now " a system of centralization of the Em pire or Consulate ; various laws of the period of the Restoration ; a press a la Louis Napoleon ; and an electoral system, literally translated from that in vented by the counsellors of the Throne of July." It complains that in tranquil and ordinary times Spain has gone on copying institutions invented as heroic remedies egainst great tempests, and says that a people whose system of government is composed of such strange and hetirogenous elements, besides being necessarily ill-governed, is in danger of losing its nationality.

Several well-k nown elements are repro d uce d i n the new " ccmedy" under the titl e o f Si nk or Swim. A wel l-di spos iti o ned brought out at this theatre last night , nobleman, e a t en up w i th ennui, and terribly in want of a sensati on , i s tempted to endhis visionary miseries by plungin g into a river, but at the fatal crisis he encounters an old merchant, who, ruined by his part ner, meditates a similar kind of suicide. The folly strikes of such an act i n h i s neighbour, who wou ld th us leave a wif e an d d aug ht er to b u f fet w i t h t h e wo rld, him at once, and he enters into a whimsical compact with the merchant, by which he undertakes to restore th e so l vency o f hi s h ouse on t h e con dition that they m ee t aga i n on th e b an k s o f th e s t ream the followin g night to mutually complete the task of self immolation. A n i n t ro d uc ti o n to the m erc h an t' s h o use follows, an d the young L or d , as a matter o f course , not only falls in love with the daughter, but rescues her from th e c l u t c h es o f a seducer. Th e exer tion attendant on these important operations, and the ' new class of emotions which doing a good action and revelling in a pair of bright eyes are calculated to awaken, restore the blasé peer to his senses, and he becomes a wiser man, and thinks no more of drowning himself. His better nature is further tested by a stroke of pseudo adver sity, the contrivance of a humorist uncle, who, to cure him of his mental and bodily inactivity, projects a story by which he is apparently deprived of rank and station by the superior claims of his gardener. The piece, written by Mr. Thomas Morton, contains some amusing poi n t s , the part of the gardener, sus tained by C omp t on w i t h hi s usual dryness and comi cality, extravagance. M r . Hoskins, us the yawning lord, being extremely diverting, notwithstanding its and Mr. G. Cooke as his sensible, matter-of-fact uncle, were both as good as they need be; and Mr. Farren played the bankrupt merchant with a ridiculous mixture of wo.ggery and pathos, though how far these two extremes were apropos to the circumstances of the case we are unable to guess. Mrs. Walter Lacy was a fitting representative of the sentimental young lady who helps to amend the aristocratic idler 'and invigorate him with kindlier views of life. The piece was quite successful; and was loudly applauded at the close. Miss lllirriet Gordon made her first appearance at voice, this theatre, id Gertrude in The Loan of a Lover, and with very great success. She is gay and agree able with ness of man ner an d an a ptit u d e f or vau d e ville acting some pleasing notes in it, and hits a liveli which are likely to make her a considerable favourite.

The enormous tortoise at the Surrey Zoological Gardens is likely to prove as attractive as the hippopotamus at the Regent's-park ;it is certainly an immense curiosity. In all probability it is several centuries old, though we will not go the length of pronouncing it antediluvian. LONDON TEMPERANCE LEAGUE! BAZAAR.

THE TERRACE' PIER) GRAVESEND, AND ITS TOLLS. —A case came on On Saturday before the magistrates at Gravesend involving a question as to the right of chargin g toll upon the Terrace-pier. It seems that the Commis_ sooners of the pier . have let 1"t to a Mr. Lawrence Levy, for theurpose of a promenade and dancing-room. Mr. Levy has been in t h e habit of charging 2,1- each person, but he has no right to charge any one who may chance to land from a 's boat, and pass over the pier. On the 22d of waterrnan men, Messrs.: July three gellide Turner, landed from an emigrant ship upon the Terrace-pier aftcr nine o'clock at night,_ and upon ascending the steps a b 4 stationed at the top demanded 6d. from the gentlemen, which they refused to Pay.

The position of the market for textile fabrics during the past month is thus described by Messrs. M. Nair, Greenhow, and Irving:— " From the commenoemont to about the middle of the month, owing to the existence of a general indisposition on the part of purchasers to operate beyond what was necessary for immediate wants, in the face of a gra dually declining cotton market; together with the uni versal excitement attendant upon the general election; matters were generally in a dull, drooping, and spirit less condition, accompanied with a fall in the value of some descriptions of yarns and cloths. Since the period referred to, considerable activity has been imparted to this market, arising, materially, from the revival of heavy transactions in cotton, which has enabled that article to recover fully more than it had previously lost in value. Here, too, with the exception of certaia makes and apinnings of India shirtings and yarns, each article subjected to a decline has regained its previous position as to price; and an improving and upward tendency— with tew exceptions—is so far perceptible. " The aggregate amount of transactions, though falling much below that of the preceding months of this year, is about equal, in a general way, to the extent of pro duction. No accumulation of stock exists. to depress the market; but, on the other hand, nearly all our pro ducers are more or less under , contract. Orders, there fore, of any magnitude, require some weeks for com pletion—indeed, even for comparatively moderate quan tities, it may be laid down generally, that orders cannot be executed from stock. "The demand for the home trade has been good, Owing to the promise of a very abundant harvest— which, when realised and well secured, could not fail of proving indescribably beneficial to every branch of busi ness and interest." The Orinoco has brought for account of the holders of Mexican Five per Cent. Bo'nds or Certificates of Arrears, 2,500,000 dollars of the American indemnity money from Mexico to Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. Mr. Falconnet's letter is dated Mexico, the 2d of July.
