That in the year 1842 a Committee of the House of Commons reported to Par liament, ' That, after a long and patient investigation, they could not arrive at any other conclusion than that the nuisance of interment; in large to wngt anti the injury arising to the health of the corn Munity from the practice, were fully proved. That the evils of interments in tovtns and populous places had grown to such a height, that no time ought.to be lost by the Legislature in applying a remedy. That this cus tom had desecratel the repose of the dead, and injured the he a l t h an d f ee li ngs o f t h e living, could not be denied. That it had also exhibited the singular instance of the blost wealthy, moral, and civilized community in the World to'crating a practice and an abuse which had been corrected for years by nearly all other civilized nations in every part of the globe.' That tht se vtevis of the Parliamentary Committee of 1842 were affirmed by a majority of the House itself, in the year 1845. That universal mischief's require universal remedies, and, therefore, a general Act, for the establishment of ceme teries in suitable loc;dities should be passed, as a mea sure of wise legislative economy, and of simple justice to the nation." The resolution having been seconded by Mr. C. Coch l'anct was put from the chair, and carried unanimously. A petition to Parliament, founded on these resolutions, was then adopted, after which thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting, which was very numerously and respectably attended, broke up at a late hour. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. (From the 7 imes.) The scene presented in the II symerket on Thursday evening on the opening of the Opera doors was fully cell to that of the 4th of May, 1847, when Made mu iselle Jenny Lied first made her debut in London. Anxious groups were t-imilarly placed about the Celon nade watching the arrival of the long string of carriages, and the visit of her Majesty to the theatre increased, if possible, the general excitement. Immediately the doors were opened the pit and gallery were cramm' d to suffo cation. The stalls and boxes were more gradually, but not less steadily, filled, and before the curtain rose the whole theatre was occupied. The reception of Made moiselle Jenny Lind, the shouts of applause which arose on every side, and the waving of handkerchiefs, were an indication that the enthusiasm which has held the public for two seasons is still in tell torte. The belief that Made moisselle Lind had retired from the stage, and intend( d to sing in concerts only, which, after all, are but a frigid re creation as far as the habitues of the opera are concerned, . gave the significance of a debut to the reappearance on Thursday. There- was something like the delight which is felt at the recovery of a lost child in the greeting with which the public received Mademoiselle Lind. And she came back to them in the fullest posees,ion of those qualities which have made her immense reputation. There is no occasion to dilate on her performance of Amines in La Sonnan;bula, for if there is any one cha racter in her repertoire which has lived in the memory.of the Le ndon public Oat is the part. But it seemed as if her voice had even improved, and as if she had acquired a mere perfect command over her resources. Those high notes, so unrivalled in sweetness, and ad mitting the finest attenuation without losing a particle of their value, seemed to vibrate through the house with a clearness hitherto unknown. The sotto voce shake, which was always her favourite expedient, appeared more delicate than ever, and excited the old applause. In her ornaments she displayed new means of effect, and surprised her audience by the facility and brilliancy of her exectution. Her acting was marked by that per fect identity with the character she represents which has always render( d her Amine one of the most remarkable impersonations on the stage. Her simplicity as the happy village girl, her manner, half delighted, half terrified, when she is rather pleased by the compli ments of the Count, and at the same time frightened lest they should arouse the jealousy of Elvino, and her deep distress when loaded with the se eight of an imaginary guilt, are as forcibly delineated as ever. The character of Elvino was played by M. Celzolari, a Mutant, who may be considered a decided acquisition to the company, and that in a lino where reinforcement was wanted. This young tenor, for he is only 26 years of age, is a native of Parma. Ho comes here immediately from Brussels, but he originally made his debut at La Scala, in Milan, and has sung with great suc cess at various Italian theatres. His register and the management of his falsetto remind one of Gardoni, but there is far more body and vo lume in his voice. His cantabile singing is as even and smooth as possible, and his sotto voce passage:, beauti fully perfect, show a remarkable command over the organ. His great song was, " 0 perche non posse odiarti," which was loudly encored, and he produced the most striking effect by his strong contrasts of piano and forte. It is said that he especially shines in Rossini's music, and the flexibility of voice and thorough training which he now exhibits, though in music of a different character, leave no reason to doubt the fact. His acting is not quite so graceful as it might be, but it is marked by energy and intelligence. Mademoiselle Jenny Lind did not appear before the curtain at the end of the duet "Son geloso" (when the drop is let down), though she was summoned with long and loud applause. She, however, came forward after the conclusion of the first act, and twice after the con clusion of the opera, when "Ah non giunge" had been encored with rapture. She then appeared once more leading on Calaolari, who was warmly cheered. (From the Chronicle.) There were some who feared that recent events, which much interested and agitated the musical world, would be found to have diminished the attraction of Jenny Lind. They argued, that the tide of feeling, which had run in her favour from the first hour of her arrival among us, having been suddenly checked when it had swollen to an unprecedented height, bad become di verted; or that a revulsion had occurred, and that it would never again flow with the same volume and force. The chain of sympathy, they said, which had attached to her the affection of the public, had suddenly been broken, and there was net even in her fascination a power to re-unite it, and restore it to its former bind ing strength. It was supposed that something like a feeling of pique or anger might have replaced those warm regards, or at least a very keen regret at Madlle. Lind's resolution to retire from the stage—a resolution so frankly and spontaneously withdrawn in deference to public opinion, and of which the motives, perhaps, may never have been re ally understood. One glance at the exterior, and still more at the interior, of her Majesty's theatre, last night, would have served to dispel those sinister forebodings. Withou', eager crowds waiting, they scarcely knew tor what — all the eremites filled with persons pushing and crowding to gain an entrance to an area already filled to suffocation; within, one o the most brilliant and fashionable audiences that have ever graced even this theatre. It was a renewal of by-gone scenes. 'line, the current had been interrupted, but the slight obstruction had only revived an ardour too long languishing under privation. And when, at last, the charming songstress came tripling on the scene with well remembered simplicity of gait and mien, such a burst of enthusiastic welcome hailed her retu'n to her more legitimate sphere, that it was itself the best a surance that her altered purpose was the right one. Such a scene of excitement seldom accompanied even her former triumphs. It was something inure than a heerty greeting to a favourite performer—it was rather as if a friend aas restored whom some eliff,rence had estrarged—and every voice see med to point a moral in its cheer of welcome, that, in the spirit of the gocd old English maxim, all were determined to " let bygones . be bygones." Mdlle. Lind seemed at first deeply affected by this warm and kind reception. There was observable a slight tremulousness of the lips, as she repeatedly tic know ledged the renewed plaudits. But the emotion once suppressed, the artist replaced the woman ; it was no longer Jenny Lind, but Amine, all joyous and happy in her innocent affection ; the face became radiant with smiles, and the stream of song gushed forth. Never, since Jenny Lind first assumed this character here, did she act or sing with more wondrous power than on Thursday. There was some thing more than ordinary emulation; her soul and heart were in it. At all times a character peculiarly suited to her idiosyncracy, some strong impulse of feeling arising out of the occasion seemed now to lift her Antina above the range of an imitative art. Her performance was not acting—it was inspiration. The art lay in the self abandonment, the self-identification with the character to be embodied; all the rest, the fluctuation of passions and the minor details, were pure nature chastened and informed by a finely-toned taste. It is this which makes the charm of Jenny Lind. If some may, with a show of reason, complain that she does not enough lose her in dividuality in the character she embodies, they should reflect how much of that seeming self-reproduction ex ists in their own imperfect vision, which sees only phy sical peculiarities, and neglects to notice the strongly marked and characteristic difference impressed on tech character by the mird of the performer. Lind acts— as she seems to sing—from the soul. There may be in her acting, as there is in her singing, the perfection of art; but it is art so exquisite, that it scarcely needs dis guise—it realises that . nature which is demanded by longing after the ideal. The artistic beauty of ealdlle. Lind's Amine precludes " points." It is almost a pro fellation to seek for them; if they occurred, they would seem to spoil the symmetry of the whole. All descrip tion of her acting must ever run in a circle: it must ever be " nature!" " nature!" One can but apply the same terms of praise to the charming simplicity of her de meanour in the first scene, her by-play when alarmed at the gallantry of the Count, the undisguished artless ness of her affection for Elvino; her gushing affection and arch tenderness, to the almost supernatural abstrac tion of her air in the somnambulist scenes, when she walks more an embodied soul than a being of flesh and blocd, to the intensity of her grief at the estrange ment of Elvino, and the overpowering joyousness, the be wildered happiness, when his affection is restored. To every phase of the performance the same term of praise applies—it is all so exquisitely natural because so finely artistic. It is somewhat late in the day to repeat these praises, or to remind the admirers of Jenny Lind that she raises the part above the level given to it by her most successful rivals. If she does not aim at the deep tragic pathos infused by Garcia, she lends a moral dig nity and an elevation of spirit peculiarly her own. In her appeals to Elaine, however poignant her grief, her tones and the expression of her countenance indicate a lofty consciousness of outraged virtue, however subdued by womanly feeling. Eut there would be no limit to this kind of retrospection in a performance so perfect. In the vocal portions Jenny Lind excelled herself. The scene in Rodolpho's chamber was sung with marvellous power and discrimination, and those delicious low notes in which she is unrivalled were prolonged, refined, and re fined, till they seemed to die away into the echo of sound. So again in the last scene, the vocalization was perfect in taste and execution ; and in the "Ah ! non giunge," she produced electrical effects by the bril liancy and sustentation of her execution and the daring flights to which she urged her true and faithful voice. One of the most charming things in the whole opera was the duet with Elvin° in the first act, where they part audi ence, whole honourst a know usde lidc.no cm n e o —a b pe o ci for the night, given by Lind with an arch tenderness quite captivating.

In this quarterly organ of the agriculturists—the great agricultural authority in the United Kingdom, and especially throughout Scotland—we seldom fail to recognise contributions of remarkable practical utility. In the number just published, for example, there is one paper of peculiar importance the one containing a synopsis of the " Legislative Measures of the Session of 1848, relative to Agricul tural Affairs and Rural Improvement." Mr. Thomas Rowlandson, of Liverpool, has moreover greatly enhanced the value of the journal, by contributing a clever " Rationale of the Ap plication of Special Manures." The twenty-second instalment of the " Farmer's Note-book" coutuins pasp.ages from the pens of Dr. Thomson, of Mr. Towers, of Mr. Ross, of Mr. Hay, and others. The tables of the Revenue—Price s of Grain—Average Prices of Grain—Foreign Markets—Butchers' Meat, and Wool—are copious and accura•e. Besides which there are seven able reports of the transactions.

I have just returned from au adjourned de• bate at the India house, on the justice and policy of the recent act of the directors, in annexing to the British territory in India the principality of Sattarp, cedvd by treaty to the head of the family of Sevajee, his heirs and successors in perpetual sovereignty. The plea fet up to support the measure of annexation that the late Rajah, Pertaub Singh, and his successor Appa Sahib, have both died without male issue, and that it is not incumbent on the Government of India, as lord paramount. to recognise collateral heirs or adopted sons. The question which the Court of Directors have thus decided is one which will not alertly affect the interests of the house of Sevajee, but those of all the princes and chiefs of India with whom similar treaties have been made. MURDERS IN THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND. ABERDEEN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The ancient Court of Justiciary, under Lords Moncrieff and Mac kerzie, has been engaged to-day with the trial of one of the most cold blooded and revolting murders that ever stained the annals of crime. The facts of the case as disclosed in evidence are briefly these: — The prisoner, James Burnett, aged 53, is a crofter and farm servant. He rented a small piece of ground at a place called Skelmanae, about 35 miles northward of thi s City. For the last six years he had hired himselt to work on a farm, about half a mile from his croft, and Was the only man servant in the kitchen. Ile had eight children by his deceased wife, all of whom were grown up and in employment, one of the daughters being en gaged i n atten di ng h er mot h er an d k ee pi ng the cottage. Burnett was in the practice of frequently visiting :his ire and daught e r i n th e e v e nings after the work of the day was over, and occasionally on Sunday ; but had not Slept at home for nearly two years. About five years ago his deceased wife had a paralytic stroke, which to a great extent deprived her of the use of one bide of her body, but she was able to move about is little, yet could never be trusted out of eight alone. About the end of October last pri soner said to his wile that he would get a laxative Powder for her, which would ease a pain which she com plained of in her breast, and take off the stuff which lay on her stomach and made her ill. lie procured from Dr. Wood three powders, containing 4 grains of calomel and 2 grains of ealocynth in each, which medicine was considered by the doctor suitable for the case as de. scribed by the prisoner to him. The prisoner, on the same day that he had the medicine. employed a carrier woman to buy for him 3d. worth of arsenic and a New Testament, when she went to Frasenburgh, and stated that it was for the purpose of poisoning rats, which an !tiled him in his bedroom. The arsenic was obtained —an ounce of white arsenic—on the Sunday, and on the Wednesday following he told his wife that he would ere her that night something to do her good. On IQ uiag the house, after paying a visit to it in the evening, he told his daughter to have a cup of so me j ell y or su g ar ready for hi m to mix the powder with, and also not to sit out of bed waiting for him if he were lat e in g ettin g to the cottage. He returned to the cottage about ten o'clock, and said he must give his wife the medicine himself, and at night, because he should not have time to attend to it In the morning. The sugar and the jelly were provided, an d when alone with his wife in the kitchen bed be mixed What he called Dr. Wood's powder, and gave it to her while she was i n bed. He told his daughter, who then en tered the apartment, that he would sleep that ni g ht ith his wife, lest she should need any assista nce under the medicin e . The daughter then went to bed , and un derstood th a t h er father went into her mother's be d, but without taking off his clothes.

He afterwards got the d aug h ter to swee p away all this matter, and it turned out also that the cup i n w hi c h w h at he ea' lied the medicine had been giv en was broken by himself, He of fered drily to go for i done with doctors —I :meter' when his wife said," I have poisoned, I am the Lord reward them on poisoned and who have done it " At fi ve o'clock, A.M., the woman die d. t r prisoner th en wt nt to the farm and r esumed his work as usual, but e ar ly i n the day retur ne d t o t h e cott age , a nd orders f or th e funeral to take place next dj., ahes was done, and for a time all was quiet.

It is because I believe that the promulgation and en forcement of this doctrine w ill b e , sooner or l a t e r, fatal to the existence of our empire in India, that I presume to tender to the proprietors generally the counsel already offered in the Court in Leadenhall-street. I especially address myself to those whose votes will, on Tuesday next, sanction or repudiate the act of the executive body. No d, ctrine, more than the one referred to, is calculated to spread alarm, dis may, and disaffection am ong a ll ran k s o f the po pulation in India. It strik es a t t h e root o f the most ancient, cherished, and universal custom of the people a custom not only upheld for secu lar purposes, .but prescribed an d en j o i ne d by the llindoo religion itself. In regard to our political de signs in India, there may be among the people great in• difference and apathy, and whatever the character of those designs, we may be competent to realise them by the aid of our large Indian army; but such a course as that now for th t first time entered upon will have a di rect tendency to sap the foundation cf that attachment which the native soldiers have hitherto evinced towards the British Government, and we may find, when it is too late, that those on whom we have been accustomed to rely have made common cause with their disinherited countrymen. The student in the history of Indian events during the last fifty years will not require illustrations of the h critical tendency of any act of encroachment upon t e . prejudices or customs of men, who, while ready feaerr ssly to risk their lives in our service , are p l r i To us bially tenacious of their domestic, national , and re g rights. thet h the noble s, against direction and amongst the body of proprietors, t Itisetwanitdh made t h s y at t i h sf e ac m ti e o s n t ethmlteelnht antveerw,tibtrneetshseind the unwise and dangerous proceeding adopted by a par of the executive. No debate for many years has called ettadmitted thatby forth a greater display of talent than the one which has just all ended;whe have hadnd i t the will, po am rt u n convinced , ity o f listening argument against the course which bei has been taken i has been conclusive and overwhelming. Amongst those opportunity I ng e who have recorded protests or delivered speeches condemnatory of the policy of annexation aro to be found the venerable Mr. Tucker, the Right Honourable Holt Mackenzie, Major Oliphant, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. John Sullivan, the Honourable Leslie Melville, Major- General Csulleild, Colonel Sykes, Sir Robert Campbell, Sir Henry Willoc k, Major Moore, Sergeant Rains, and Mr. John Morris; and had a vote been taken in court, either on Wedcesday or to-day, I belie ve the decision would have been in favour of the motion for re-consideration. To escape from present defeat the supporters of the annexation of the Sattara principality have appealed to the general body of the proprietors; and strenuous efforts will d iubtless be made to obt proxies and secure a majority at the close of the poll. I earnestly, hope, however, that those to whom the appeal will be made will be influenced by consideration more important than a desire to oblige their friends. That they will reflect upon the justice and policy of the ques tion before them, and bear in mind, also, that the re sources of thousands, either connected with the services of the Dist India Company, or dependent upon the reve nues of India for all they possess or hope to enjoy, may be seriously affected, as they will without doubt be placed in imminent peril, if a decision so repugnant to the feel logs and views of the people of India is not re-considered. I am, sir, your obedient servant, JOHN BRIGGS, East India Proprietor. ILLNESS Os' LORD ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCR.—We regret to learn that Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence is very seriously indisposed.

MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN ASTLU/C—The anniversary festival of this excellent chatity took place on Thuralay at the London Tavern, where about 130 gentlemen sat down to dinner on the occasion. The Lord Mayor presided, and in an effective speech proposed " Prosperity to the Asylum," which was very cordially received. His Lordship's appeal to the sympathies of the company, coupled with the interesting appearance of the children of the charity, who were paraded round the room, and who joined iu singing the National An them, had the desired effect, and tho secretary in the course of the evening annoucced subscriptions to the amount of 9001. There are at present l andp under the care of the asylum, and the clean h ea lthy ap pearance of those who were exhibited to their bent lac torscompanying last night furniskes ample proof of the attention and comforts which they enjoy. They were addressed by the Venerable Archdeacon Dealtry in a very appropriate manner before leaving the room. The dinner and a- Higgs was toastmaster.

While in the second, we have pictures of gold-washing, of Mexican peasantry, and of the extraordinary ruins discovered at Uxmal in Yucatan. MR. PIPS HIS DIARY. MONDAY, APRIL 23, 1849—Down the road to a Steeple Chase, which I had never seen before, and did much long to behold : for of all Things I do love Diversion and Merriment; and both Mr. Strappes and Sir William Spurkins did tell me there would be rare Sport. Got a Place in the Grand Stand, cost me half a Guinea, which was loth to part with, but thought I should have brave Entertainment for so much Money. Did find myself here in fine Company, Dukes and Earls, and Lords and Ladies too, which did please me ; but among them some Snobs, in Stable-cut Clothes, with spotted Neckcloths and Fox-headed Breast-pins; though some of these were Lords too, who seemed to have been at Pains to look like Ostlers.; To see the Crowd on Horseback and in Carriages, and those on Foot pushing and scrambling, and trampling each other to get a Sight of the Course, as if there had been going to be a Coronation, or a Man hanged! The Course, marked out with Flags, and having Hurdles, Posts, Fences, Rails, Hedges, Drains, Ditches, and Brooks in the Way; and this Spurtsmen do call the Country, and say such a Country is a Teaser, and so I should think. By and-by the Jeckies in their Saddles, but their word is Pig-skins, looking in their gay Colours, like Tulips on Horseback, which was a pretty sight. Then a Bell rung to clear the Course, and the Horses with their Riders drawn up ready to start, and presently a Flag flourished for a Signal : and so they off. Good lack, to see them galloping helter-skelter, like mad, through Rivers and over Hedges and Ditches, and the whole Thing done in ten minutes ! Some did jump the Fences and Hedges, which they about me did term Raspers, clean over; but others not so lucky, and stuck in Brambles or on Stakes, or between double Rows of Posts, with a Quickset in the Middle, whereof the cant name is Bullfinchers. Others upset in Ditches; and one or two of them not able to get up again, and carried away upon some of the Hurdles; and when the race was over three Horses found lying with their Backs broken, and so shot. Sir William did inform me that it was a tidy Field, which I could not agree, with the Raspers and Palisades upon it, and the Horses spiked, or sprawling with their Riders on the Ground with bro ken Backs and Limbs. Nor did I understand the Fun of this part of the Thing; wherefore I suppose I must be dull; for it do seem to be the chief Delight that People take in it. For, as if the Gates and Rails belonging to the Ground were not dangerous enough, they do set up others called made Fences, being stubborn Posts and Stakes twisted with Briars and Brambles, which do seem to be meant for nothing but to be tumbled over, and in that Case do as much Mischief as may be to Man and Beast. The Horses mostly ridden by Jockeys for Hire ; but some by their Owners, who, methinks, do set a sufficient Value upon their own Ex ;lbieuyt IvdeontitiiiraemethtehierinNfoerckraiskiningritdhinegLifae iS o s f ttee a enEc t l t ee s e C f w u hh l aellsne to rs e —Punch.
