A Miss Laura Keene, who has lately been playing with éclat at the Richmond Theatre, under the aus pices of Mrs. Brougham, appeared last night for the first time before a London audience. The character she essayed—that of Pauline„ in the Lady of Lyons —does not probably belong to the class in which she will hereafter be the most successful, but her per formance was, nevertheless, more than respectable. Sweetness and amiability prevailed throughout, and her tone and bearing in the early scenes were fraught with the extremeat gentleness and grace — qualities again most prepossessingly apparent in the catastrophe, when she appeals to the charity of the malignant Beauseant, and subsequently to the warm and struggling sympathies of her unknown husband. Nothing could be more delicate and femi nine than this, and upon this ground her performance made a very favourable impression upon the audience, who were easily disposed to overlook the want of power which she manifested in the great scene of the third act. Miss Keene hss many advantages of per son —her figure, though slight, being elegant and symmetrical, and her face—such that Chalon loved to paint—well capable of indicating the sensations of domestic emotion. A voice of the loveliest physical quality, and a style unspoilt by exaggeration, corn. biped, in short, to invest her efforts with considerable interest ; and sho deservedly won a copious shower of plaudits and bouquets at the termination of the play. The occasion was the benefit of Mr. Henry Farren, who sustained the part of Claude Melnotte—we may add with strong and emphatic effect. The house was well attended. MISS CATHERINE lIAYES. This great vocalist leaves New York today, for a fortnight or three weeks, and will proceed with her suite, by the Fall River boat, the Empire State, to Boston. She will give her first concert in Tremont Temple, whose acoustic qualities are not good ; but the power of the artist will overcome the difficulty, and her concerts will be equally successful there as here. She will meet with a splendid reception among the eastern people, whose taste in music is equal to their great intelligence and high order of education. Her second concert in New England will be given at Providence, as we stated on Saturday, after which she will return to Boston and proceed with the series g in iv t e h h at er ei s t e y ed . on O c n on h c e e r rt r fr e o turp ,ath to er mththiasceiwty, her city, she fel low-countryman, will as distinguished for his philanthropy as the fair vocalist is for her pow f er e s en o cv f e concluding Hayesw in the pre second ceed te h rt s e s o r n e h g er . s e h , e After s Philadelphia, erieso p o r n o e b o a t hl t y he g fi iv n e es h t e h r ucioindicnegrtss in n n the the l w u e s r i l c a al f F er un ei d n li g liis f g Thence she goes to the Monumental City, where a splendid reception awaits her. She will visit either cities South and West, and we may safely predict a brilliant career for her in the United States. She will be accompanied by Braham, Herr Mengis, Bou langer, and other artists. Catherine Hayes has now been fairly tested in every style of musical art ; and coming, as she does, after one of the most popular vocalists that ever lived, her success is enhanced, and her genius is stamped as of the very highest order. There can be no better proof of her merits than the fact that the enthusiasm increased night after night as the concerts proceeded, pe and the last was marked with gr eater excitement than stands li A ke to hear the It a li an o No. 1 i n the her. the first.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT •28.—The officers of the Swedish frigate Eugenie and [corvette Lagerbjelke, under the escort of M. Vandenbergh, the Swedish Consul at this port, yesterday inspected the dockyard, and were most courteously received by Rear-Admiral Super intendent Prescott, C. 8., and his officers, many of whom and the flag lieutenants attended the gallant strangers over the dockyard offices. This evening Captain Virgin, of the Eugenie, and Captain Engle hart, of the Lagerbjelke, and their first lieutenants, together with M. Vandenbergh, will be entertained by Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., the Commander-in-Chief, at dinner at the Admiralty house. To-morrow the same party and M. Vanden bergh will be entertained by Colonel the Hon. A. Dalzel and the officers of the 48th Regiment, in garri son here. The Swedish officers seem to take great interest in the inspection of the port, and are highly gratified at the courtesies and hospitalities shown to them. Their ships are in admirable order, and appear well equipped for their long and interesting voyage— circumnavigation of the globe. The Victory, 104, Captain G. B. Martin, C. 8 ., b e aring the flag of Port -Admiral Sir Thomas Bri gg s, G.C.M.G. ; the Britannia, 120, ordinary depOt ship, Captain Yates, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. Prescott, C. 8., Superintendent of the dockyard; and the Blenheim, 60, ordinary depOt-sbip of the steam ordinary, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., struck their lower yards and topmasts to-day, and sent up their harbour poles for the winter. The Odin steam-frigate has;been undocked to-day, and hauled alongside the Malabar coal depot, to corn. plete her coals. The Fairy royal steam-yacht, Master-Commander D. N. Welch, was docked to-day to have her bottom examined, having been some time since coated with Mr. Peacock's composition on one side, and Mr. Hay's on the other. On docking to-day Mr. P eacock's composition was very clean, and Mr. Hay's very foul. The commander of the royal yacht has consequently, we are informed, applied for the Fairy to be coated over entirely with Mr. Peacock's preparation. The Stromboli steam-sloop . was taken into the steam basin on Monday. The Marion convict ship embarked at Spithead on Monday from the Echo Government tug the prisoners for transportation from the York and Stirling Castle hulks in this harbour, and dropped down to Cowes to ship others from Parkhurst. WOOLWICH, Ocr. 28 —The Tynetreop and store ship, Master-Commander Peter Wellington, was not completed in her fittings to take the baggage of the Royal Artillery, under order for Barbadoes, on board yesterday,: as originally intended, but the whole of the baggage was put on board to-day, and Captain Dora ville's company will embark at the Dockyard at seven o'clock to-morrow morning: Captain Domville, in command of the company, Second Captain Arbuth not, and Lieutenants Mackenzie and °add proceed with the company. THE ARCTIC COMMITTEE. —LETTER FROM LADY FRANKLIN. The members of this committee held a sitting at the Admiralty, on Monday, to exarnine.the reports of Captain Austin and Captain Penny, atirtiaio to obtain answers which may be put to them or to the officers who accompanied them in the recent searching ex peditions, as to the best plans to be adopted in the fu ture expeditions which were decided upon before the committee was appointed. The following is a copy of a letter from Lady Franklin to Mr. Grinnell, who interested himself so much in sending out the American expedition under Captain De Haven : " 21, Bedford-place, London, Sept. 12, 1851. "My dear Mr. Grinnell,—l write to you in much agitation and confusion of mind, which you will not wonder at when you hear that Captain Penny, with his two ships, has returned, and announces the ap proaching return of Captain Austin's squadron, after being out for only half the period for which they were equipped. * • Captain Penny's letter is to•day before the Board of Admiralty, urging them in the strongest terms to dispatch instantly a powerful steamer to Wellington Channel, in which quarter, to the north-west, he has discovered the passage which there can be scarcely a doubt the ships have taken, since it is the only open ing they have found anywhere, and hundreds of miles of coast have been explored in the lower western direction to Cape Walker, Bank's Land, and Melville Island, without a trace of them. Drift wood in con siderable quantities has come out of this north-west channel, and also a small bit of rather fresh English elm, which Penny pronounces must have belonged to our ships, and was, probably, thrown overboard. "Thus the right track fof the north-west passage and the course of the missing ships are identical; and I can only regret that our squadron was not told they might attempt the making of the passage, if they could, for in that case we should have had no aban doning of the search till many more struggles had been made to get into Behring Straits. The barrier of ice in Wellington Channel did not break up last year, nor had done so this, when Penny left ; but his explorations, which extended to 180 miles from the entrance, were made beyond it in boat sledges ; 60 miles beyond this he saw water, with land standing to the north-west. I can hardly conceive how he could resist following the open water which he saw beyond him, and which he is convinced leads into the so much-talked-of Polar basin. He is also convinced, with Dr. Kane, that there is a better climate in these more northern latitudes, with more natural resources of food and fuel ; some proofs of which he brings forward. We have every reason, then, to hope that some of our lost friends and countrymen may yet be able to support life in this region, though unable to return by the way which they came ; and the absence of any traces of them north of Cape lanes, on the east side of Wellington Channel, proves nothing at all against it, since they were not likely to linger on their way to examine shores and Mends, but would push on as fast as possible while the opportunity fa voured them, and the next trace to be found would probably be their second winter quarters. "In confirmation of this view, Penny tells me that there are signs of their first winter encampment at Beechy Island, and of their having left it suddenly ; and that the summer of 1846, though extremely un favourable to the whalers, who, on account of the prevailing winds, could not pass over to the west side of Baffin's Bay, must have been quite the reverse to our navigators. You may imagine what a state of anxiety and agitation we are in, till :we lea rn the decision of the Admiralty on the appeal now made to them. I have written a strong letter also, and I know that Sir F. Beaumont, Captain Hamilton, and Mr. Barrow, who are all at their posts, w ill allege th e necessity of prompt measures with all their powers. Should we fail, we must look to Ame rica alone as our resource.

The first grand . cause for triumph is, t a a n k d e ns successful ephilanthropy ,yftublln that all her hardship, en terprise and danger have not cost the sacrifice of a si ngle life : How eminently this blessing is owing to a protecting and ever-watch ful Providence will be apparent from a simple nar rative of the incidents that. befel the expedition and the peculiar trials by which the Advance was tested in those hitherto unknown and shaping the destiny of this great mission of charity, even though fated not to discover th e long. lost vvanderer. But let ns begin our narrative :-- . . The AtileriCell Expedition entered Wellington Sound on the 26th of Aug., 1850, .where they met Captain Perry with the Lady Franklin, and Sophia, and were Sir John t Ross and Commodore a ft er wards joined by Austin. On the 27th, ( ) apt : Ferry discovered un mistakable evidence:of Frank . lin . s first winter quarters —three graves with inscriptions on wooden head boards dating as late as . April, 1846. Their inmates, according to these inscriptions, were of his crew—two from the Erebus and one from the Terror. There of torn canvas , article s of were beside fragme nts ge, undoubted evidence of a clothing, wood and c orda large and long encampment; bno indi ut affordin g cations which would ser ve as guides to the searchers or give assurance to hope. On the Bth of September the expedition forced through the ice to Barlow's Inlet, where they nar rowly escaped being locked in in the ice. But they so far succeeded, and on the 11th reached Griffith's Island, the ultimate limit of their western progress. From this they set sail on the 13th, with the intention of returning to the United States, but were locked in, near the mouth of Wellington Channel. Here commenced those perilous adventures, anything com parable to which, were never encountered and sur• vived. By force of the northern icedrift they were helplessly drifted to 75 deg. 25 min. N. lat., and thence drifted again into Lancaster Sound, some what, we should say, in a south-easterly direction. The agitation of the ice elevated the Advance nearly seven feet by the stern and keeled her 2 feet 8 inches starboard. In this position she remained with some slight changes for five consecutive months. And while in it the depth of winter closed its frozen terrors around the expedition. The polar night fell upon them, and for eighty days no ray of solar light broke upon them. The thermometer (Fahrenheit) ranged 40 de grees below zero, and sometimes sank to 46. Early in this awful night (November sth), the Rescue was abandoned, for the purpose of economizing the fuel, and the crews of both vessels determined to brave their fate together. They every moment expected the embracing ice would crush the vessel to atotns, and consequently stood prepared, sleeping in their clothes with knapsacks on their backs, to try chances on the ice, mid storm, and terror, and night. For this terrible trial they had made every preparation, had provision sledged and everythingin readiness which might be useful for such a journey. They were then 90 miles from the land, and so certainly did they ex pect that they should make this alarming trial, that on two occasions (Bth December and 23d January), the boats were actually lowered and the crews assem bled on the ice to await the catastrophe. During -thb - petto4,44.4icurvy becameApidemic, and assumed an alarming character. Its progress defied all the usual remedies, and only three men escaped the attack. Captain De Haven was himself the greatest sufferer. The constant use of fresh water obtained from melted ice, active mental and physical exertion, and the care of Divine Providence, arrested any fatal result; and the disease yielded to a beverage composed of a sort of apple, tea, and lemon juice. After entering Baffin's Bay, Jan. 13, the ice became fixed, and the little expedition became sta tionary and fast in the midst of a vast plain of ice, 90 miles from any land. The stores, materials, and cord age were stowed away in snow-houses, erected on the ice, and a sort of encampment was formed, with all the appearance, if not the solidity, of terra firma. The tables of ice varied from three to eight feet in thickness. Nor was this situation of peril and awe without its attractions. Auroras, Perhelia (mock suns), and mock moons, of the most vivid lustre succeeded one another without intermission, and as day approacbed the twilights, streaking the northern horizon, were vividly beautiful. At length the God of Day showed his golden face (18th Feb.) and was hailed with three hearty American cheers. Gradually his influence was felt, and the waxen-like colour of the com plexion, which the long night had superinduced, gave place to freckles and tan. The disease, too, quickly disappeared. On the 13th of May the Rescue was re-occupied. The disruption of the ice was suddeu and appalling. In twenty minutes from its first moving, the vast field, as far as the eye could reach, became one mass of moving floes, and the expedition once more drifted southward. By a continued providential assistance, it passed the perils of Lancaster Sound and Baffin's Bay, and on the 10th of June emerged into open wa ter, lat. 65 deg. 30 min. N., a little south of the Arc tic circle, being thus released from an imprisonment of nearly nine months, during which they helplessly drifted 1,060 miles. While in Lancaster Sound the roar of the rolling water and tumbling ice exceeded all earthly tumult, and was sometimes so loud and stunning as to render both voice and hearing useless. Capt. De Haven's first care on his escape was to repair damages and restore the health and vigour of the crews. With that object he visited Greenland, where he refitted. After a short delay, with una bated courage and unflinching purpose he once more bore northward. On the 7th of July the expedi tion spoke some whalers, and on the Bth passed the whaling fleet by the Dutch islands, there arrested by the ice. By the 11 th the expedition reached Baf fin's Islands, and entered through vast masses of loose ice. Here the Prince Albert joined. They conti nued in company till August 3d, warping through the ice, when the Prince determined to try the southern passage. De Haven persevered in his course until the Bth, when he became completely entangled in floes and bergs. Here again the expedition encountered perils of the most alarming kind. The floating ice broke in the bulwarks, and covered the deck in broken masses like rocks tumbled pell-mell by a mountain torrent. The more than iron endurance of the gallant ships was severely tested by the crush of the closing ice, but they rose to the pressure as if defying the elemental strife, baffled its fury, and somewhat disabled, but still without a plank yielding in any vital part, rode safely in an open road on the 19th day of August. Here, finding the north and west already closed against them, the American expedition set their sails and bore homeward, after having dared and suffered and overcome_ difficulties and dangers such as scarcely if ever beset the path of the mariner. It is supposed the English expedition wintered at or near Fort Martyr, and thence prosecuted their voyage westward. The American expedition, there fore, was in a position more favourable to the search. It was in a far higher latitude, and the so-called polyna (open sea) could not have been far distant, but the inevitable drift into the waters of Lancaster Sound was fatal to its spring progress, and fatal to the chances which its enterprise had won. The officers and crews of the other vessels of the expedition were all in good health and spirits up to the 13th of September, 1850. The Advance parted with her consort in a heavy gale off the banks. The latter has since arrived. The Advance brings several fragments from the en campment of Sir John Franklin, a pair of fine Esqui maux dogs and some articles of curiosity. Thus ends this noble expedition, without discover ing any satisfactory index to the fate of Sir John Franklin ; but at the same time without any evidence to preclude further hope. Sir John might have won the point which the Advance was baulked of by the fatal drift into Lancaster Sound. If so, and it is not impossible, there is no reason to doubt the possibility of himself and crew surviving in !those regions where nature has adapted the resources of life to the rigours of the climate. The gratification of officers and crew on once more reaching their native land is in no sina‘l degree enhanced by the recollection that in no scene, no matter how trying, was their trust in and mutual love for each other interrupted , and Captain De Haven retains the most lively recollections of the gal ant, unflinching conduct of officers and crew. CHARGE of MURDER on the HIGH SFAS, At the Southampton Police- court, on Friday, a fine-looking sailor, named Joeeph Nichols, was charged with the murder of Cheirles Phillips, a black sailor, in the Bay of Monte Video. Henry Brooks, late chief nu tte of the Christina Murray, of Kincardine, deposed that the ship was, on the 21st of July, in the Bay of Monte Video at anchor. The prisoner at the her, Joseph Nichols, was a sailor on board the brig, and so was Charles Phillips, the deceased. On the !alst of July, at eight o'clock at night, he set the watch and went below. By Mr. Fall—The man he left in charge was some what drunk; his name was Isaac Thomas. At half-past nine he was asleep, but the captain called to and woke him, there being a noise above, and told him to go on deck. He went up, and found about four mon on the main hatchway, making a noise and singing out. The prisoner, Charles Phil lips, and Isaac Thomas were pa rt of them. He told them to go below, and they went forward. He ordered Thomas down below because he was the worst amongst them. Phillips; said he could put Thomas down himself. Nichols said, " No, you won't put him down." Phillips then struck Nichols in the face, and Nichols said that Phillips had cut him in the face. Witness looked in Nichols's face, but he did not see any cut. Nichols then called out, 1 "Boy, Owen, bring up my knife." Owen was in the forecastle. Witness then stepped back to the windlass, fearing he might get stabbed. The boy came up the forecastle hatch. Witness called to the boy "not to bring up the knife just now on any ac count." Witness did not see that he did bring one up. Phillips and Nichols both came from the forecastle hatch towards the larboard forerigging, fighting together. They felt down struggling together, and Phillips roee up and s a id - , " I'm stabbed:' The captain was below writing or four the - when witness came up.

The prisoner's rig ht arm was covered with blood w h en h e came down into the oabin ; also some on his blue shirt. Witness felt the blood at the back of deceased's shirt. [There were two wounds, one in the neck, and one under the shoulder.] Witness sent the prisoner on deck, and followed him as far as the com panion. Witness and the captain and the second mate sat up all night. The next morning the captain and crew went before the captain of the port. The pri soner was put in prison, and the witness went to the British consul's, and was examined in the absence of the prisoner. The prisoner was not searched on board after the accident, and when he was taken to the prison he was not searched. The captain brought two knives off from the consul's. When he left Thomas in charge of the vessel he was a little drunk, and so were all the sailors. He was not so himself. They had been discharing a cargo . of . 000 demijohns of gin, but he did not think the men got any of it. They probably had rum from on shore. He did not know what they had. The crew were all discharged except the second mate. Witness and a boy named Rose were sent home with the prisoner by the British Consul. The deceased was a native of Jamaica. He never spoke after the words before-mentioned. John Rose, a boy on trial before becoming an ap prentice on board the brig, and acting as cabin-boy, deposed to being in bed at near eleven o'clock on the 21st of July. He heard a noise, and the captain went on deck ; he followed him, and saw the prisoner and Phillips come from before the windlass struggling, but he could not see distinctly. The captain and he went as far back as the companion, and saw them both fall. Phillips got up and said, " Oh, Mr. Brooks, I'm stabbed." Mr. Brooks took hold of him and led him as far as the quarter-deck, and there Phillips fell and died. air. Brooks said, " Oh, Joe, you've done this." The prisoner was close to the deceased at the time. Joe said, " No, I have not, Mr. Brooks." The crew had been drinking. The next morning he saw the deceased had a cut right across the front of his hand. There was a gore of blood coming through the clothes from the left shoulder. He said to the captain, " You had better not go nearer," lest ha might get hurt, for he heard some one call for his knife. The captain went back to the companion and got a musket. He fired three times for assistance, but none came. Witness saw , two knives taken from the men when in the guard-boat next morning, but not from the prisoner. They found an adze on board next morning belonging to the prisoner, but it had nothing on it. The room was cleared for the bench to deliberate. The case is very peculiar. From the information in the magistrates' hands, it appears that the deposi tions were taken in the absence of the prisoner, and copies only of them sent home. The witnesses are totally without money, and have only had 103. Gd. from the relieving officer, and if it had not been for the mayor's interference, both parties, the mate who is a respectable man, and the boy a very intelligent lad, would have been taken into the workhouse or assistance refused. Then how are the witnesses, when bound over, to maintain themselves, so as to be in attendance punctually at the assizes ? There was much consideration of the subject, and the case is full of difficulties, to say nothing of the great expense to the tows, which has nothing to do with the parties. Finally, the prisoner was brought in, and in answer to the usual question, said, "I know nothing more about it than the child unborn." Le was then fully committed for trial at the March assizes. THE FATAL POACHING AFFRAY A 2 RUFFORD. MANSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The adjourned inquest on the body of 'William Roberts, one of the Earl of Scarborough's gamekeepers, who was killed in Machin's Gorse, Rufford, on the night of the 13th instant, in a conflict with a large body of poachers, was concluded yesterday before Mr. Coroner Falkner. Another keeper, T. Charlesworth, of Eakring, lies in a precarious state. Some additional evidence was ad duced; and after long deliberation the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against some person or per sons unknown. A court has been held by the magis trates of this division at the Town-hall this afternoon, at which Colonel Wildman, the Rev. G. F. Holcombe, and Messrs. Harcicastle and W. S. Coke, and Captain Salmond were present. Ten prisoners were arraigned who, with six others previously discharged, had been apprehended on suspicion of participating in the mur derous assault upon the Earl of Scarborough's keepers and game watchers. Eight of these were discharged to-day, with an intimation that should evidence of a more satisfactory nature be obtained against them hereafter they would be again apprehended. The only two retained in custody are George Bowskill, besom maker, Mansfield, and George Robinson, framework knitter, of Bulwell. Charlesworth, the maimed keeper, who now lies in a precarious state, distinctly swears that Bowskill was the man who struck the blow that killed Roberts ; and Robinson was found by the police, two days after the affray, concealed in his own cellar at Bulwell, having bruises upon his person, and spots of blood on his dress. A third prisoner, Samuel Sims, also a framework knit ter, of Bulwell, is now in the Nottingham Infir mary, in charge of a policeman, who is in constant attendance upon him. He is suffering from a com pound fracture of the arm, and is at present unable to be removed to prison. The case of these three prisoners is adjourned for further investigation on Monday next. 0 0 : 8 t° lo — t itb . )°*. • Id l ° 4 lO . rid POO pi go, 9P °g 4011 19 P I/ el. 19 00 1 19 pOO 14 1 0 5 1 1, 10 i V' 0 1° Fo r 141 0 101 BOW CHURCH. The history of this church is a strange one. As the writer has elsewhere remarked—if not originally a Roman temple, as was generally believed, it was one of the earliest churches built by our Norman conquerors: it has been destroyed by storm and fire; was at one time garrisoned and besieged; and was afterwards the scene of an assassination. We first find mention of it as u Christian church, in the reign of William the Conqueror. Stow says, it was the first in the City built on arches of stone, and that it was therefore called St. Mary de Arculms, or the Bow; although he elsewhere says, that it took its name from certain stone arches, supporting a lantern on the top of the tower. In the twelfth century, a tumult of a serious nature occurred in the City, which led to an assault upon the church. The ringleader was William Fitz-Osbert, surnamed Long•board, an individual of loose morals, who apparently possessed great talents, and was almost worshipped by the lower orders, on account of his exertions as a professed advocate for the poor, against the oppressions of the rich. An attempt being made to seise him, he took refuge in Bow steeple, together with various followers, and being well provided with ammunition and provisions, was able, for a long time, to defy the authorities. In, corder to drive him out and dd aftertie o desired hasty tr effect; al v r L e h i e e which had l e e r a w ee t a 2 8 1;1 fi l e r p e p d r a i r s t o n T o e f h r s i t s , h e steeple, the h ri a o u t e g s r t e s s d e . w p pro bably been much injured during the attack on Fitz-Os bert, fell down, and caused the death of several persons. It seems, however, to have been repaired soon afterwards; for in 1284 we find that one Thicket, a goldsmith, who had seriously wounded a person named Ralph Crepin (under what circumstances is not mentioned), took refuge in this church, and slept in the steeple. While there, certain friends of Crepin entered during the night, and violating the sanctuary, first slew him, and then so placed the body as to induce the belief that he had com mitted suicide. A verdict to this effect was accordingly returned at the inquisition, and the body was interred with customary indignities. The real circumstances, however, being afterwards discovered through the evi dence of a boy, who it appears was with bucket in his voluntary confinement, the murderers, amongst whom was a woman, were apprehended and executed. On this occurrence the church was interdicted for a time, and the doors and windows were stopped up with brambles. After the fire the present edifice was com menced by W ren . T he whole of the works appear to have been completed in the year 1680. The crypt of B ow Ch urc h, w hi c h b e longs apparently to the end o f th e e l event h century , i s n o w filled with upon their share which have doubtless contributed in silence co ffi ns of all ages and sizes piled one the other, ofpart of thi s 1849 we gave . a view of disease and premature death to the . 1 ilntents of the neighbourhood.

We repeat our:denunciation of the system, and would urge, with respect to Bow Church, that the bodies should bo immediately removed to consecrated ground, and any fresh deposits there be strictly prohibited. The crypt is ventilated, the coffins are put in fair order, and we would carefully avoid attaching blame to any indi viduals di viduals connected with t hi s charnel-house, which is from being as bad as many others.
