Illustrated with Cases, &c. By J. L. CURTIS and COMPAN Y, Consulting Surgeons, London. Published by the Authors, and sold by Bailiere, Medical Bookseller to the Royal College of Surgeons, 219, Regent street; Strange, 21, Paternoster-row, London; Guest, Bir mingham ; Sowler, 4, St. Ann's-square, Manchester ; Philip, South Castle-street, Liverpool ; Machen and Co., 8, D'Olier street, Dublin ; Duncan , 114, High-street, Edinburgh ; and to be had of all Booksellers. This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medic a l p rac titi oner . Th e prover bi al and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, en the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which , for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, takes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. the PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his youngchar ges , w h at the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consealuence s which are sure to follow from them if net relinquished. 7 , Frith - street, Messrs.

It was enough _for him to say that Mr. Harmer's fittings .had been deeply wounded by the conduct of many of those who had most violently opposed him, and many of whom were largely indebted to that gentleman.—(Hear, hear.) He would say this, however, that the public having been benefited by the public 'services of Mr. Harmer, more particularly his fellow-citizens and the inhabitants of the Ward, it. became an act of duty on their part to offer their testimony of those services. In promotion of that object he felt much pleasure in 'moving the first resolution. Mr. Taylor then read the resolution as follows : " That the retirement of James Harmer, Esq., from the Magistracy of the City o f L on d on i s a fit occa sion for his friends, and the public in general, to present to him some lasting testimonial of their esteem, admira tion, and respect for his liberality, talents, integrity, and general worth." Mr. DE YEAR had great pleasure in seconding the motion. He had known Mr. Harmer thirty years, and had always found him to be one of the most honourable, generous, and humane men in the world.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. H. was a man who conferred benefits in such a manner as almost deprived the person benefited from acknowledging the obligation. He (Mr. De Year) was sorry that he was confined to speaking of that gentle man's merits in his civic capacity, in which, as Sheriff, he had received the highest compliments from the city authorities who acted with hi m . —(H ear , hear.) A. gentleman who had long served the office of a Me trate in the City told him (Mr. De Veer) that Mr. Her• mer had raised the practice of an Old Bailey lawyer from a disreputable state to the highest degree of respectability.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Harmer was not only a moral, but a truly religious man.—(Hear, hem) Although he differed from the Church, yet in practice he carried out all its best doctrines—(Hear, hear, hear)—and whenever a benevolent object was to be effected, his hand and purse were always open, witla.. out regard to religion or politics.—(Cheers.) Mr. GALLOWAY .(who was received with much ap. plause, but was heard with great difficulty in conseqitence of illness, under which he obviously laboured) had known Mr. Harmer ferty-five years, and could affirm that he was a moral, generous, and benevolent man.— (Hear ) He was a man who never.broke his promise, in public or private, and he added honour to the dignity of every office in which he had been placed.—(Hear.) No man over did more good, and no man ever was less osten tatious, so that it might truly be said of him that he did not let his right hand know what his left hand did. Mr. Galloway regretted that the state of his health did not' allow him to bear testimony, in the one-hundredth part, to what he knew of his excellent friend's private virtues and public merits.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. JOHN JOSEPH STOCKDALE—ST/10 was greeted with laughter, and cries of " Oh, oh," when the Chair man interposed, by calling order, and requesting a hear ing for every person who thought proper to present him self to the meeting—said that he had no enmity to Al derman Harmer, or to any other man, living or dead. He never carried animosity with him to his bed, or, if he did, it passed away before he awoke in the morning. —(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He came there with no hostile object, but only to bear what testimony he could to the benevolence of Mr. Harmer, sho, on one occa sion, contributed, through him, to a fund which was being raised for the relief of Mr. Timothy Sheldrake and other prisoners in the Fleet.—(Cheers.) Mr. Stock dale was proceeding to make some observations upon Mr. Harmer's religious opinions, in which he was inter rupted by the Chairman ; and, after repeated attempts to go on with this part of his theme, gave way to the sense of the meeting, and sat down. The resolution was then carried unanimously, and with applause. Mr. WILKINSON, in moving the next resolution, said that, although the present meeting was a small one, that was no reason for despondence.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) One volunteer was as good as twelve pressed men, and therefore they might consider every person present as the representative of twelve others:—(Hear, and a laugh.) Our great poet had said that :" Men's evil deeds live after them, their good deeds die with them, and are buried in their graves." But he trusted that the effect of that meeting would be, that the good deeds. of Mr. Harmer should not die with him.— (Cheers.) He trusted that every one present would use his utmost exertions to raise the subscription to such an amount as would enable the Committee to present to Mr. Harmer a testimonial worthy of his acceptance.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded by moving " That a subscription be entered into, for the purpose of presenting to James Harmer, Esq., a piece of plate." Mr. KIRK rose to second the resolution. He had known Mr. Harmer for some years, and had known him as a humane, liberal, and intelligent man. He knew that liberal men always devised liberal things, and he hoped, therefore, that a liberal subscription would be raised. Mr. HARDING said that he moved he next resolution with very great pleasure. He had something which was pleasing to communicate to them, on 'the part of a gen tleman residing in the county of Essex. Hearing of that meeting lie came over to London for the pucks() of contributing his share to the object of the meeting, His ;name was Peter Rogers, Esq., and his donation was 51.--- (Cheers.) He begged leave to move the next resolution, which was—" That Sir James Duke, Mr. Deputy Blacket, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Adlard, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lowe, with power to add to their number e pe Committee, to carry the object of this meeting into effect. That Mr. Deputy Blaeket be requested to act as Trea surer, and that Mr. H. S. Smith be requested to act as Honorary Secretary." Mr. PEARCE had much pleasure in seconding the resolu tion. lie perfectly concurred in the object of that meet ing. It was one in which every gentleman in the City of London was interested. Mr. GALLOWAY begged to have his name inserted in the Committee. The CHAIRMAN said it was in consequence of his late indisposition that Mr. Galloway's name was not in serted, as they did not anticipate that he would have been present, and not from any want of respect to Mr. Galloway.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then carried unanimously, with the addition of Mr. Galloway's name. Mr. PEACOCK moved that the resolutions then passed should be advertised in the different morning and even ing papers. He would not travel over the ground of well merited praise bestowed on Mr. Harmer. He had al ways. found him a kind, good, and excellent man. He had never named any case to him that his hand was not immediately in his pocket. He (Mr. Peacock) had never put a guinea into Mr. Harmer's pccket, but he had taken many out—(Hear, hear, and a laugh) —and he always gave his guinea in such a manner that made it worth two.-- , -(Hear.) He concluded by reading the resolution. The resolution was carried. The CHAIRMAN then stated that upwards of 801. had been received since the meeting commenced.—(Cheers.) He begged to suggest that the amount of subscriptions should be added in the advertisements. Mr. GALLOWAY said he hoped that the full list of names would be given with the subscriptions attached. It was but justice to the parties. PRIcE 5d the investigation pursued under authority and judicious arrangement. It may, I fear, with truth be said, from the burial places of one vicinity—know all the rest. If so, let those who at present supinely look on and disregard the dangers threatening their poorer neighbours' from these vast sources of disease, remember that pestifererous ex halations arising from the numerous infecting centres of the metropolis are no respecters of persons ; by the ever shifting gales of the .moment they may be visited, even in their chosen localities, their power of resistance ex perimented upon, and a severe penalty incurred—the punishment of their omitting or neglecting to avoid evils self-inflicted, and therefore removable. It is demonstrable that the centres of infection are found principally in crowded neighbourhoods, and a vitiated atmosphere : here they are propagated and nourished by the action and reaction, the•cause and effect, constantly in operation ;—for, in many of these very dis tricts, the so-called burying places, the receptacles for the dead, are situated ; their insatiable appetite, yet un glutted, is constantly devouring fresh victims, and these again are ejected, after a slight sojourn, to make room for the succeeding occupants, who retain their situation only by the interest or caprice of a hireling grave- digger. Upon a matter so intimately connected with the pros perity and happiness of a State, the attention of the Government cannot be too anxiously directed. Who will venture to affirm that the health of a community is not of the first importance to the stability and prosperity of society ? Without health, riches, honours, and dis tinctions are comparatively worthless to their possessors. Who can doubt but that a healthy people are the most valu able defenders of the soil ; the most formidable in war, and the most useful in time of peace ? Throughout all ages rulers have unfortunately manifested but little re gard to the interests or the amelioration of the condition of the poor, and have resisted every attempt at amend ment, until, by some dreadful calamity, they have been driven to measures of improvement. The vast numbers of burying places within the bills of mortality are so many centres or foci of infection— generating constantly the dreadf u l effluvia of human putrefaction—acting according tc; the circumstances of locality, nature of soil, depth from the surface, tempera ture, currents of air—its moisture or dryness, and the power of resistance in those subjected to its influence-- (and who is not ?)—as a slow or an energetic poison. The reflection will obtrude itself on every thinking person. how long is this state of things to. continue ? Who is not deeply interested in this question ? Fami lies, home, kindred, relations, friends, the thousand sympathies that have grown with our growth and strengthened with our strength —are so intimately con nected with our subject, that the more deeply we reflect, the more settled is our conviction of the necessity for the interference of the Legislature upon a point so intimately involving the best interests of society. I have freely and earnestly spoken of the tremendous risk incurred by the mutilations of the resistless dead, portions of whose bodies, in various stages of decomposition, are thus made the instruments of punishment to the living. Yet no attention is paid to remonstrance, urged from con viction ; no heed given to warnings, however disinte rested and however urgent. I would not unnecessarily alarm the public mind ; but the opinions I have advanced are not hypothe tical ; they are founded upon the experience and prac tices of past ages, confirmed by the experience and practice of the present day ; and, yet this momentous subject has hitherto been passed over in total silence, as though insignificant or indifferent, by English writers of eminence. I have, therefore, not hesitated, feeling the paramount importance of the question, to throw my mite into the public treasury, hoping to see, at least, as the result of my labours, the enforcement of efficient " Sana tory Regulations" throughout every department of the kingdom, and the entire removal of the dead from the im mediate proximity of the living. I may be allowed to state, that I am entirely uncon nected with any speculation, public or private, having reference to the establishment of Cemeteries. Com mending, as I do, the efforts of private individuals, who have originated a reform which should long since have commenced with the Executive, I am, nevertheless, se fully convinced of the necessity for legislative interfe rence to destroy the present dangerous system of inhu mation, that I hesitate not to express my opinion, that the Government of the country will ultimately be driven to the adoption of means for enforcing the prohibition of the interment of the dead in the midst of the living. - N.B. The whole of the burial grounds in the metropo lis, and which have been in use many hundred years, is only eighty acres. There are now upwards of four hun dred acres, and an Act of Parliament has passed for an other of fifty acres, and one of twenty-five acres, situated at moderate distances from London; therefore ample pro vision is made for many years. The fees for opening the ground, and for tablets, are much. more reasonable than the average of churches and churchyards. .EETING FOR THE PRESENTA TION OF PLATE TO JAMES HARMER, ESQ. A public meeting of the friends. of James Harmer, Esq., late one of the Aldermen of the City of London, was held yesterday in the large room of the London Coffee House, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of raising a subscription to present to that gentleman a piece of plate, on his retirement from the Magistracy of the City of London. On the motion of Mr. GALLOWAY, seconded by Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR, Sir James Duke, Alderman and M.P., took the Chair at half-past two o'clock. The CHAIRMAN said, it was not necessary for him to offer many observations connected with the subject which bad called them together. He regretted that the friends of Mr. Harmer had not found some person better quali-* fied than himself to fill the Chair. He had great satis faction, however, in accepting th e o ffi ce, an d d o i ng what he could to afford the friends of that gentleman in the Ward an opportunity of expressing their high sense of the manner in which Mr. Harmer discharged his public duties as a Magistrate, and their cordial feelings of re gard towards him as a private individual. He believed he might say that the idea of a public subscription ori ginated with a few of the personal friends of Mr. Har mer in the Ward of Farringdon Without, and that idea having been very generally and cordially responded to— for at the present moment a considerable sum was sub scribed for the purpose of presenting him with a piece of plate—the gentlemen of the Ward found, from the nu merous applications made to them, that many persons un connected with it were desirous of contributing to that mark of respect to Mr. Harmer. With that view it was considered desirable that a public meeting should be had, and he would now read to them the advertisement convening the meeting. (The Chairman here read the advertisement.) No person regretted more than himself the retirement of Mr. Harmer from the Aldermanship of the City of London, and although he felt highly flattered at having been selected as his successor for the Ward of Farringdon Without, yet he had no hesitation in saying that it was not possible to meet in the City of London a gentleman who was better qualified to discharge the du ties of his office.—(Cheers.) He had had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Harmer for some time as a member of the same Company (the Spectacle Makers), and during the time he was a member of that Court, he bad received from him marks of great kindness, and therefore he was happy to have an opportunity not only of expressing his personal sense of the kindness he had experienced from Mr. Harmer, but also of testifying his sense of the man ner in which he bad discharged his duty as a Magistrate. He would now call upon the Secretary to read the list of subscriptions that had been already received. Mr. SMITH, the Honorary Secretary, then said,—Sir James and Gentlemen, Before reading the list of sub scribers, it gives me great pleasure in being able to state that the respectable and highly influential gentlemen who have kindly assisted in forming the lists and receiv ing the amount of subscriptions, have been very much gratified by the readiness and spontaneous liberality with which subscribers have come forward to pay a mark of respect to Mr. Harmer. It has convinced them that a man whose benevolence and kindness, and whose public and private worth were appreciated by all who knew him, would sooner or later receive that considera tion to which he is so eminently entitled.—(Hear, hear.) But we are far from assuming that we have fulfilled the duties of this important undertaking, nor are we am bitious of any other result from this imperfect attempt ; but the framers of a plan—the opening of a way —for the liberality and exertions of the numerous friends of Mr. Harmer, who may thus very easily assist us to per form thoroughly and successfully the object we have in view. The Secretary then read the list of subscriptions, which included 211. from the Chairman, Sir J. Duke, and a long list of 'subscriptions of 101. and 5/. from gentle men of all shades of political opinions, amounting in the whole to about 4201. The reading of the list was re g.felt mu c h p l easure in moving cei m ve r d .

His retirement from the magistracy would be to him, as it would be to all who knew him, a subject of the greatest regret.—(Cheers.) Mr. Harmer had great capacity for business, and great diligence; and he added to these one of the kindest hearts and the most generous dispositions he had ever known.—(Cheers.) All these qualities enabled him to be one of the most useful and valuable public servants he had ever known. In these feelings he was borne out by the sentiments expressed towards Mr. Harmer at the first wardmote held after his retirement, and which was the more valuable as emanating fro m thos e amongst his fellow citizens who h a d k nown hi m l onges t a nd best.—( Loud cheers.) He would also appeal to the unanimo n us expres sioncouncil- of their opinions from the sixteen Co . mm s o of esteem, Council men of the Ward, and these expressions opinions, coming from gentlemen of variou_s_ politics, was many of them strongly opposed to Mr!" llarmer was held.

The following statement, which was . submitted to the Poor-law Commissioners, is consideretit.of importance at this moment, particularly as at the last! Court of Common Council it was referred to the Committee relative to the Police of the City, to obtain returns of the expense of the casual poor sent for relief from the variims police stations in the City. The heavy burden of poor later thrown upon the out-parishes of the City of London, has occasioned a great outcry. Previous to the 43d Elizabeth, in the year 1601, the relief of the poor in the City of London was entrusted to the care of the Lord Mayor, as Chief Magistrate of the City of London. 1595.—A year of scarcity ; a survey was made by the direction of the :Lord Mayor, of the number of poor householders in the City of London, requiring relief in his jurisdiction, and 4,132 poor families' vere reported in a population of then 160,000 (see E4kn's work on the " State of the Poor." City Library, 1601.—The 43d Elizabeth passed 'for equal rates in large communities. Norwich, with its 42 parishes, and most other town s an d c i t i es then adoitted an equalized rate, according to the intention of the Legislature. In the 2d cap. sec. 3 of Eliz. 43, Over was given to Magistrates to tax, rate, and assess in ivy other parish within the hundred or county in aid et. the poor-rate to those parishes much oppressed with poor. And by sec. 8 the Mayor and other head -officers of fiery town, place, corporation, and city, have the same authority; and every Alderman of the City of London within his ward, has the same power'under the Act as any Justice of the Peace of any other county within the realm. • 1630.—1 n consequence of certain parishes not fairly car rying out the principle of equalized rates, provided for by the 43d Elizabeth, rules and orders were issued by the Privy Council, as follows :—." That the. taxation for the relief of the poor be higher in every parish, and contri butions had from other parishes to keep the weaker parishes. And when any money, stock.„&e., bath beer, or shall be given to the relief a the p5 - in any parish, such gift to be no occasion of lesseninae rates of the parish (see Eden, fo. 158). _ • 1654.—The Court of Common Council passed an Act for levying on the 'inhabitants of the City 2-15ths for sundry repairs of conduits, and for the employ of the poor in bringing water into the City, each 15th to be equal to 5001., to be raised in the following proportions, on the parishes in the several wards as under : Aldeisgate Within £36 Cordwayner £44 Aldersgate Without ... 44'Cornhill .. 52 Aldgate Bassishaw Billingsgate Bishopsgate Within ... 64 Farringdon Within Bishopsgate Without... 64!Farringdon Without Bread -street Bridge s4Lime-street 32 Broad -street Candlewick 36 Queenhitll 3O Castlebaynard 64 Tower l6O Cheap 64 Vintry 2B COleman-street 1666.—Fire of London, eighty-nine parish churches burnt down, and 13,600 houses destroy ; the poor dis tributed over the cut-parishes and suburbs ; many of the City parishes are without small houses, and only nominal poor-rates, and a small stipend instead of tithes (see Parliamentary Return, 1833). 1681.—Four-fifteenths raised in the City of London for repairing conduits, &c. 1695.-2,000/. was raised by an equtil rate under sth and 6th William and Mary for the relipf of orphan chil dren (see printed Cerporation Report, fb. 17). 1698.—An Act of Common Council passed under the provisions of the 13th and 14th Charles IL, f or an equa l assessment on the parishes of the City of London for establishing the London Workhouse (see Corporation Report). 1701 to 1754.—The London workhouse provided for three thousand poor children from all 'parts of the City, and educated and apprenticed the same, and 20,854 des titute poor admitted and relieved from a genera l rate from every parish (see above Report). 1747, Jan. 13.—A rate was made for raising 1001. in the several parishes, to defray the expenses of passing vagrants, by an equalized rate. 1754 to 1819.—Equalized assessmeDts made in the several parishes within and without the City until July 15th, 1819, when 2,4431. 10s. was leviel for the London Workhouse. So much were the objects of the London Workhouse approved, that during its continuance 150,000/. were received from benevolent persons by voluntary contributions (see printed Report). 1840.—The funds of the citizens of London are still devoted to the passing of Scotch and Irish paupers, from every parish within and without the City. The injustice complained of by, the present system is shown by the fact that the out-parishes are overburdened by the servants and labourers employed in the City, where there are no small houses to receive them. The result of the Poor-rate, in the 109 or 110 parishes appear to be as follows, for 1839 Amount oil Popula- Rent a l of Poor-rate Poor-rate tion. Pt operty. raised. in the X. City Union, £.

In the parish of Cripplegate Without, of the 1,689 houses, 829 are rated at and under 101. per annum, many whereof are occupied by the servants and la bourer*, employed by the residents of the inner parishes of the City, and who ultimately become chargeable to the parish ; and the inner parishes, although receiving the benefit of their labour, contribute no part towards their relief in sickness, adversity, infirmity,. and old age. Thus the above parish had to contend with a ruinous poor-rate of Gs. 9d. in the pound on a three-fourths rental, whilst the City parishes[totally, or nearly, escaped without charge. Under the effects of the new Poor law the rates are reduced to 3s. 6d. in the pound on an enlarged assessment, which in the year 1838 procured 4,5731. 7s. 6d., out of which 1,000/. 2s. 10d. was paid for pauper children, and 1,065/. Bs. 4d. for relief out of the workhouse ; and that parish has to pay tithes 1,526/. per annum, while the rich inner parishes pay but an average rate of about 16d. in the pound per annum. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD IN THE METROPOLIS. A document appended to the Report made to the Court of Common Council on the subject of the burial of the Dead in the Churchyards, &c., of the Me tropolis, contains, after a description of the revolting condition of some of the burying grounds, the following observations, which were made by a medical man of con siderable practice, and will be read with much interest. DISGUSTING PRACTICES IN BURYING GROUNDS. From the preceding description of a few (and but a few) of the metropolitan burying grounds, it will bo seen that by far the greater number are crowded even to excess. This certainly ought not to have been per mitted. The moment it appeared that the space al lotted for interment was occupied, that moment the ground should have been closed, and other asylums set apart for the interment of the dead : an infringement upon the occupancy of the unresisting tenant violates the property of survivors, and desecrates the sanctity of the sepulchre. Men pay funeral dues under an im plied assurance that the " dead" shall be " respected." It is well known, that formerly considerable alarm was manifested that the gravo would be robbed of its de posits by the intrusion of the " resurrectionist." An Act of the Legislature had the effect of destroying the temptation to purloin the dead, but the grave is still in secure. Grounds accustomed to be held sacred are un ceremoniously cleared under official superintendence; and that too with such ruthless indifference and wanton publicity, that even passers-by complain of the indecent profanation. I shall now show by what arrangements the superfluity is reduced, and room made for subsequent interments; and in doing this, I shall restrict myself to a brief enu meration of some of the particulars. The means employed to effect the purposes contem plated, consist in what, by the grave-diggers, is called " management." In this " management" of the ground, former occu pancy is disregarded. Coffins are remorselessly broken through, and their contents heaped together in wild con fusion, or scattered carelessly over the surface, exposed to "insult lewd and wantonness." Great expense is frequently incurred in funerals. The encasement is often strongly made, and highly or namented ; and yet (perhaps, therefore) second-hand " coffin furniture," (nails, more especially,) may be found by the hundred weight at many of the " dealers in marine stores :" nor can we wonder that coffin wood has been extensively used as an ordinary fuel in low neighbourhoods, The gases produced by the decompo sition of the dead are partially soluble in water ; and a fatty pellicle is instantly formed in a large quantity. The wood, saturated with theie dissolved gases, and used as fuel, must diffuse, in addition to the exhalatiOns con ' stantly given off from bodies in vaults and on the earth's surface, vast volumes of gaseous poison. A poor widow, to evidence her affection for her de parted husband, had seriously diminished her resources to defray the funeral expenses. The coffin was covered with black cloth, and was some time after identified by the maker of it,—it was nearly covered with lime. An undertaker, who had the charge of a funeral, went with a friend into the vault of a chapel. A. coffin, re cently deposited, was taken under his arm with the greatest ease; his friend, doubting, poised the coffin, and t t h h e are b . uryi h ng e was affected to tears, from the conviction that the body had been removed. Several other coffins wore in the same condition. p l ace the body in t t h o e v r a e u m l o t y u e n i t t il , ground of a chapel much frequented, broke in upon a The workman a , n i d n d d ep ig: s i i n te g d athgeracove in common-sewer, brother of the deceased insisted upon its removal The a nl ve for a human compelled the man to and t g i o r n a evde him was not dug; againthen t dared o dig a C h i ! being entering the common sewer. The following extract from a weekly paper of June 14th, 1840, discloses the existence of a very revolting practice " A Constant Subscriber' informs us, that a few days since, he was passing in the rear of the Tabernacle, in Tottenham-court-road, to which is attached a public burial ground, when his attention was arrested by a strong sense of something burning, and which from its character he had no doubt was animal matter. Curiosity led him to the immediate spot, when, upon inquiry, ho found that some of the bones of the dead were being consumed, and the dense exhalation from the chimney was the product of the consumption. We have only to observe that, if this disgraceful practice is to be conti nued, the line of houses in St. John-street, which is in the immediate vicinity of the chapel, will soon be unte nanted. It is the duty of the landlords to look to the matter, and indict the parties ; or the police may sum mon them before a Magistrate, who is empowered to in flict a find of 10L" I have already adverted to the fact of bodies being placed within a few inches of the surface of the earth, and shown that many thousands of bodies, or rather shells, piled one upon the other, are to be found in the vaults of churches and of chapels. It would appear, in deed, that mourners, after they have seen " The deep grave receive the important trust And heard the impressive sentence—dust to dust," imagine that they have performed the last duty to their deceased friend ; have they ever reflected that thoy have deposited a centre of infection to the living ? But what shall we propose upon the subject of Private Burying Grounds ? Unque.stionably, that they be im mediately and for ever closed ; and that the proprietors, presunting that they have not acted illegally, receive a just compensation for their interest in the land only; and that the dead there deposited remain undisturbed until a general cemetery or cemeteries be appointed to receive them, after a decent exhumation, and a solemn and ap propriate transmission. It is true, that a correct registry of burials may now be anticipated •, why not a registry of the burial grounds (not one of which should be pri vate)—the situation—the extent of ground—the numbers buried—and the period they have remained open ? particular space can only receive a limited number ; that number having been deposited, the ground should be closed, and no disturbance should on any account be per mitted but under the direction of an approved and re sponsible superintendent. Th. floor of Enon Chapel, Clements-lane, measures in length 59 feet three inches or thereabouts, and in width about 28 feet eight inches, so that its superficial con tents do not exceed 1,700 square feet. Now allowing for an adult body only twelve feet, and for the young, upon an average, six feet, and supposing an equal num ber of each to be theredeposited, the medium space occu pied by each would be nine feet; if, then, every inch of ground were occupied, not more than 189 (say 200 in round numbers) would be placed upon the surface; and admitting (an extravagant admission most certainly) that it were possible to place six tiers of coffins upon each other, the whole space could not contain more than 1,200; and yet it is stated with confidence, and by credible authority, that from 10,000 to 12, 000 bodies have been deposited in this very space within the last sixteen years! Mr. Tumbleton, a highly respectable undertaker, of No. 4, Warwick-street, Golden-square, informed me that about eleven years ago he attended the funeral of an " Odd Fellow," on a Sunday, at Eaon Chapel (parti cularly mentioned in the preceding pages); he smelled a disgusting stench; he was seized, within forty hours, with a violent pain in the back of the left hand, con tinuing about an hour; had "cold chills " within half an hour afterwards; took a glass of rum and water, and went to bed; he arose in the morning very ill, and con sulted Dr. Burnett, of Golden-square, who ordered him home, and told him that he would • " give him three weeks before he got up again." This prognostic was true to a certain extent, for the patient kept his bed nine weeks with a malignant typhus, and all its concomitant evils. On the 10th of July last, I was called to attend a • widow, named Adams, house-keeper to a gentleman re siding in Gray's Inn-square. Some days before my arrival she had been attacked with pain, which she re . ferred to the region of the liver. The pulse, on my first visit, was weak and easily compressible, ranging between one hundred and twenty and one hundred and thirty ; she complained of no pain; her heart beat tumultu ously; the tongue was brown and dry, and protruded with difficulty—her general symptoms were those of ac tion without power. I carefully watched the case; but, notwithstanding all my efforts, my patient sunk on the 22d of the same month. She had. been a regular at tendant at Enon Chapel. She died of typhus, accom panied with symptoms of extreme putrescency. Can the cause be problematical? Four bodies had been placed in a tomb in the Eastern Cemetery, into which it was found water had penetrated : the first body had been interred in February, 1836, the last in April, 1839. Two grave-diggers employed in the removal of the water and the dead bodies were from the commencement of their labour struck with the fetid odour given off, yet they continued their work. They, had removed a large quantity of water and two coffins, when, in attempting to seize the third, their feet slipped, and the water remaining in the tomb was violently agi tated by their fall. One of the men fell instantly life less. His comrade made several efforts to raise him ; at the third attempt he fell deprived of consciousness upon the body of his unfortunate companion ; assistance being quickly rendered, the men were withdrawn from the tomb. The grave-digger who first fell was dead ; the other, notwithstanding the extreme attentions of two medical men, remained unconscious during six hours— for the space of a month afterwards he suffered greatly from difficulty of breathing, and weakness of the legs, which in the course of th e same mon th were a ff ecte d with - a general desquamation.—(Annales d'Hygiene, January, 1840.) My remarks, published upwards of twelve months since, have unfortunately had too solemn a verification. At p. 183 of the " Gatherings from Grave Yards," will be found the following description of the abominable and dangerous condition of the burying-grounds of St. Mar garet's, 'Westminster : " There are two burying grounds belonging to this parish, one near the Abbey, adjoining the church, and the other in the Broadway, Westminster. The ground is excessively crowded; fune rals are very frequent ; the ground behind the church is too full to admit of increase, with propriety or safety." Confirmatory of the above description, made from re peated personal observation, I quote the following re marks from high authority :—" The Commissioners for the Improvements in Westminster reported to Parlia ment, in 1814, that St. Margaret's churchyard could not, consistently with the health of the neighbourhood, be used much longer as a burying-ground, for that it was with the greatest difficulty a vacant place could, at may time, be found for strangers ; the family graves, gene rally, would not admit of more than'one interment, and many of them were then (in the year one thousand eight hundred and fourteen ! !) too full for the reception of any member of the family to which they belonged.' " Quarterly Review, September, 1840, p. 380. " William Green, a grave-digger, while employed in his vocation in the churchyard of St.. Margaret's, West minster, was suddenly seized with faintness, excessive chilliness, giddiness, and inability - to move his limbs. He was seen to fall, removed home, and his usual medical attendant was sent for. The poor fellow's impression was, that " he should never leave his bed alive ; lie was struck with death." He was, subsequently, ummoved to the hospital, where he died in a few days. No hope was entertained, from the first, of his recovery. " Mr. 8., the medical attendant, was seized with pre cisely the same symptoms. He was attended by me. I apprehended from the first a fatal result : he died four days after the decease of the grave-digger. " The fatal effects of this miasm did not end here. The servant was seized on the day after the death of her master, and she sank iu a few days. " There can be no doubt of the fact, that the effluvium ; from the grave was the cause of the death of these three individuals. " The total inefficiency in the three cases, of all re medial means, showed the great power of the virus or miasm over the animal economy from the commencement of the attack. "J. C. ATKINSON, Surgeon, " Romney Terrace, Westminster." —Extracted from the Lancet, June 13, 1840. Mr. Leese " had lately attended a lady whom he was obliged to prohibit from going to church in the west part of London, in consequence of the injury she had sus tained repeatedly from the effluvia proceeding from the vaults beneath the building. These vaults were nearly full of coffins, piled one above another, some of them having given way from the weight imposed on them."— Extracted from the Lancet of May 1, 1841. CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS. I have now detailed some of the particulars of a long and laborious inquiry, and have placed before my readers a statement of the gross abuses and immoral:tendencies arising from the practices now prevalent in the burial places of the metropolis, and with the full conviction. that I have fearlessly, and to the best of my ability, per formed an important public duty, in submitting the re sult of my investigations to the judgment of my coun trymen. I look forward with confident anticipation to the cordial co-operation of my fellow-citizens, and also to the assistance of the Legislature, in annihilating or effectually reforming the present system of burial—a system fraught as much with insult to the dead as with extreme danger and affliction to the living. If I have entered upon a repulsive and disgusting detail, it has been from a profound conviction of its ne cessity. The profits of private speculators have not as yet been compelled to defer to the vast, the enormous, the invaluable, yet utterly neglected interests of the pub lic health and public morality, yet are they too insepara bly connected to be dissevered. " Immorality and disease are multiplied by practices which should only teach the resurrection and the life.' lam much gratified to be able to add, that the Legislators, who regulate the criminal, the fiscal code of the country, are at length convinced of the necessity that exists for their interference with the practices of selfish, unprincipled, or ignorant men, who have forgotten, or will not understand, that death, like life, propagates itself." I venture to hope that the health of the metropolis will form a prominent feature in the measures of the Administration, and the attention of Par liament be early directed to inquire into and to adopt such measures as may avert threatening calamities, and secure future sanatory improvements. It must be remembered that, although my attention was originally directed to the condition of the burial places in my own immediate neighbourhood ; and that, although I have been prompted to extend my inquiries into the condition of those in other districts ; yet that, taking into consideration the magnitude of the metro polis, the abuses here exposed (and many others that might be mentioned), however repulsive, disgusting, and bumoral, would not amount to a tithe of the detail, were Speedily will be published, in Numbers and in Monthly Parts, SUSAN HOPLEY; or the ADVENTURES OF A MAID-SERVANT.

It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., sub ject only to the deduction of 1441. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium unpaid. On the Ist of July, the Board of Directors added 2 per Cent. per Annum as a Bonus to those assured upon the participating plan from the dates of their policies, thus approliriating, 201. a-year as an addition to every policy for 1,0001.
