Notwithstanding the recent prohibition of intra mural interment s by Act of Parliament, the metro polis is still rendered the receptacle for human de composition. The fact is such as to yield serious cause for dejection ; and, considering the course lately adopted by the Legislature, affords considerable reason for remonstrance. Either the evil referred to must be at once and indignantly prevented, or a great measure like the one just passed through both Houses, and sanctioned by the voice of the SOVEREIGN, dwindles into a mere scroll of parchment, without merit or authority. The dignity of the Senate, violated by this open defiance of its jurisdiction, demands some movement on the part of the Government so stringent and decisive, that the obedience of parochial officials shall no longer be optional on a matter of such immense importance to the community, but shall be henceforth and for ever in the fullest accepta tion of the term compulsory. The innovations mapped out in this particular by the recently created law requiring the adoption, as far as the crpital is concerned, of the system of extra mural seesulture, are of enormous multiplicity and of startling magnitude. It becomes consequently requi site to adventure forthwith upon their realization, otb'erwise, without evincing something like enterprize at the very beginning of the improvement, but little chance remains of the desired change being secured within any reasonable interval. To be plain—it must be obvious that the effec's of the Bill passed through the Imperial Parliament abolishing the system of parochial burials, renders it imperatively neces sary to make immediate provision for the extramural interment of from 60,000 to 70,000 bodies per an num. It cannot be objected that our estimate is in any degree exaggerated when it is borne in recollec tion that the mortality for the year last past has been calculated at no less enormous an amount than 68,432—a number yielding a weekly average of 1,316 and a daily average of 187 ! To provide for the decent interment of this immense accumulation of bodies, in accordance with the principle laid down in the new Act of Parliament, it becomes essentially advisable for the Government to make such provi sion for the carrying out of the intentions of the Le gislature as shall deprive those who are ready to evade its authority of the shadow of an opportunity. Now, without further hesitation, we must at once avow that this provision, to our mind, is in no direction discoverable. We mean, of course, adequately. For the purpose of illustrating this, it is only necessary to direct attcn• tion to the favourite project with the Administration for the opening of a large extramural cemetery. According to statistics defying all contradiction whatever us to their accuracy, it appears that this scheme is in the highest degree objec tionable in regard to its deficit ncy both in area and access, in locality and principle, as well as in a va riety of other minor but still enormously important particulars. 'We allude to the pet scheme of the Erith Cemetery. As to area, it must be acknowledged at the very outset to be most objectionable, notwith standing the earnest encomiums passed upon it by the Board of Health. It is true, that with 90 acres of Belvidere, 232 acres of the Abbey Wood, and 70 acres inclosed from lands in the immediate vicinity, it would spread over an extent of no less than 400 acres. Yet, instead of being land otherwise useless, the pro posed cemetery will occupy ground of perpetually increasing value for all building purposes. Besides' which, it is based altogether upon a plan which, while it has nevar yet been submitted to the inhabitants of the locality for approval, has excited throughout the north -west district of the county the strongest and sternest opposition. I❑ addition to which, it must be allowed that with a mortality of 187 per day, of 1,316 per week, of G 8,432 per annum, even 400 acres of ground will go but a little way in affording the desired space for interment. Again, as to access, the situation of the spot is any thing but satisfactory. It requires a horrible accu mulation of difficulties and inconveniences—it requires a miserable voyage of upwards of an hour through the most crowded and difficult part of the Thames navigation—it requires the perpetual embarka tion and disembarkation of the quick and the dead promiscuously—it requires the jumbling to gether of coffins and mourners on board these ghastly vessels of lamentation in the most horrible and dis tracting confusion. "Yielding, moreover, a novel fetor to the already disgusting exhalations of the river—as if that stream was not sufficiently polluted by being rendered the drain or sewer of a capital so vast and densely populated ! As to locality, we can not but think, with all possible deference to the Board of Health, that a spot situated at so short a distance from the Standard on Cornhill, scarcely removed from the atmosphere of the metro polis, contiguous to the banks of the Thames, and surrounded by such multitudes of villas, squares, terraces, and other habitations, is of all places one of the least eligible for employment as an extramural cemetery. It would only tend to mar the beauties of the Garden of England without materially improv ing the salubrity of the Capital of England. Then as to the principle—we cannot but think that a huge monopoly like this, a monopoly which will inevitably originate a general Undertaking depart ment in the Government, and which must likewise interfere directly with the interests of the eight sub urban cemeteries now in existence, is a project of a kind very little indeed to be desiderated. We might carry out the argument with similar force in refe rence to the number of reception-houses, the extent of exudations and exhalations, the amount of saving and of outlay, and the exorbitant charges to be demanded for interment ; but from what has already been abo►e remarked we conjec ture sufficient to have been said to prevent the public generally from being enamoured of that scheme which has been regarded with so much favour by her MAJESTY'S Government. It must be obvious, more• over, that these particulars are eminently entitled to consideration, some such gigantic innovations being absolutely requisite for the purpose of carrying out the beneficent intentions of the Legislature. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. T're r,a'e3 cf Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were chin iwed at about 4,000 ktlai.—lte.ilway Shares were at st(a - ly quotations.. We have received the Paris journals of yeEterdsy. The PRESIDENT of the Republic m a d e his entry into Caen at a quarter to seven o'clock on Wednesday evening. He was received by the prefect and the authorities at the Demilune, the junction of the three roads leading to Lisieux, Pont l'Eveque, and Trou ville, and which forms a crescent. At that spot a magnificent triumphal arch was erected, with banners and suitable inscriptions. The PRESIDENT was re ceived with cries of " Vive le Pi Lident !" " Vive Napoleon !" There were rumours of an intended Bonapartist coup d'etat circulated in Paris yesterday, which at one time obtained such credit Es to seriously affect the Funds. These rumours are thus noticed in the Siecle:— " Hardly has the President of the Republic quitted Paris for Cherbourg, before disquieting rumours begin to circulate: there are those who undertake to name the appointed day fur an emeute to be undertaken by the most ardent members of an Imperialist Association. Some wretches are to be hired to carry a red flag inscribed with the Democratic and Socialist Republic, advantage will then be taken cf this wicked and easily-repressed manifes tation, and a pretext put forward in favour of the prolon gation of the powers of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. When bad passions, aided by public credulity,serve to get up such bubbles, the best way is to cause them to be expluded beforehand. We could not, without reflecting on the good sense of the population, give credit for a moment to these odious rumours, which are propagated for some purpose which it is not easy to comprehend. To little purpose bas our country suffered so many painful trials within the last two years, if it only needs the machina tiocs of a portion of the dregs of society, worked through detestable intrigues, to compromise our institu tions, public security, the repose of families, and the well-being of all." After some further remarks this journal pro ceeds : I he Bark of England during the rut week made but little change either in the amount of its circulation or bullion, but a further material addition to the BAIL: Deposits supplied nevertheless the means of extending the leans upon other securities. The private lodgments were again somewhat curtailed, and this so far agrees with the statements of late, that employment is more readily found for surplus cash.

His character, we verily believe, affords a serious guarantee, upon which we confidently reckon. Everything, therefore, concurs to reassure us against the rumours which have been put into circulation. If we are well informed, some mem bers of the permanent commission have been so struck by these rumours that they have engaged representa tives of the extreme Left, to warn the working classes against surprise." The .Evenement states that General CHANGARNIER has announced to the members of the Society, of the 10th December, that he " will oppose with all his might any renewal of such manifestations as that which lately failed upon the return of the PRESIDENT from Lyons and Strasbourg." The manifestation in question had for its object to take the horses from the PRESIDENT'S carriage and draw him home in triumph ; but the scheme was prevented, by orders to the soldiery. General CHANGARNIER has remained in Paris during both the journies of the PRESIDENT, and it is said that there does not exist that entente cordiale between them which existed heretofore; in deed, it was currently reported on Thursday that a telegraphic dispatch had been received from the PRE SIDENT of the Republic, dismissing General CHAN GAENIER from the command of the troops of the first military division, that is to say from the command of the garrison of Paris. This report caused the price of Funds to fall per cent. The Pays has the following : " Tie re has been a talk since yesterday of an order of the day of General Chaegarnier, superior commander of the army of Paris, forbidding officers and sub.officers of the corps under his command from taking part in a subscription intended to offer, in the name of the army, a banquet to the President of the Republlc. We have made iequirit s respecting this order of the day, and all the soldiers of the garrison of Paris whom we have consulted have stated to us that they know nothing ab.ait it. Now, as it is known that the orders of the day of the General in-Chief are always communicated to all the corp., it is more than probable that that about which so much noise is made does not exist." The latest intelligence in relation to these rumours is contained in the following postscript to the Mr. JONES LOYD, DOW Lord OVERSTONE, was one of the few witnesses examined on the inquiry into the causes of the commercial distress, whose faith in the Act of 1844 remained perfectly unshaken, who clung to it with a desperate fidelity, "through good report and through bad report," and could discern none of the evils that were so clearly perceptible to other witnesses. He ad mitted that he " thought it was right, under all the circumstances then existing, to issue the letter," and that "the effect of the letter was precisely what was contemplated, and wished for," but he contended that, " although the letter was a departure from the positive provisions of the Act, it was not a departure from the principle of the Act." We confess that, with the Lords' Committee, we are unable " to recognise this distinction." There was a clear and positive enactment forbidding the issue of notes beyond a certain amount, except upon an Equal amount of bullion stored up in the Bank cellars, The Bank itself was in the greatest danger in consequence of that restriction. The Governor and Deputy-Governor thought they could have weathered the storm, but it could only have been by an extensive sale of Consols, and a great limitation of discounts. The Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer recommended that they should " enlarge the amount of their discounts and advances upon approved se curity," and as this course was clearly incompatible with their position, if the provisions of the Act were to be maintained, the Treasury letter declared that "if this course should lead to any infringement of the existing law, her MAJESTY'S Government will be prepared to propose to Parliament, on its meeting, a Bill of Indemnity." This was a distinct authority to the parties concerned to " depart from the principle " of the measure, which was considered of such vital importance, that the re laxing power, so urgently asked for by the London bankers in their memorial of the .11th June, 1844 Tie Funds are very flat this morning, and the ar rangements for settling the account, which terminates on Wednesday, appear to be the main cause, next to the limited nature of the transactions.

" Ten o'clock, Night—Rumours of various kinds, and which will be found described in our Bourse article, were in circulation to-day. At the hour at which we write all our information leads us t,) believe that these rumours have either been exaggerated or without serious foundation." M. DE PERSIGNY arrived in Paris from Berlin on Thursday. Count DE MOINTALIVET, formerly Intendent of the Civil List of the ex-King LOUIS PHILIPPE, has writ ten to the Patric', to deny the statement of certain journals, of his having visited the Count DE CHAM. HOED at Wiesbaden ; and stating that if he had not been confined to his house for more than five months, by severe indisposition, it was to Claremont that he would have gone to pay his respects to the King, " whose loss he weeps as a faithful and devoted friend." The Councils-General of the Departments continue to adopt resolutions in favour of the " legal" revision of the Constitution ; the majority of them have pro nounced in this manner. On this subject we find the following in the Journal des Dabals. was positively refused by the Legislature under any possible circumstances. The sanction of the Govern ment was thus deliberately given to a course unwar ranted by law, and which might be attended with very serious consequences to the Bank if Par liament refused to pass the suggested indemnity, but Mr. LOYD thought that "no departure from principle," and evidently considered the events which rendered the letter justifiable as likely to be " of occasional recurrence," while the Governor of the Bank, also a supporter of the Act, expressed even a more distinct opinion that such con tingencies may not be very unfrequent, evidently point ing to once in " five or six years" as the periods when they may be looked fur; and yet these very parties desire the continuance of the Act, which will —dis. render her MAJESTY'S Ministers the habitual violators of the law, or rather the authorisers of its violation, and the protectors of those who legally must be con sidered as wilful and deliberate offenders. " The Councils-General have only made a very mo derate use of the exceptional right, which in some re spects is conferred on them by circumstances, of discus sing political questions. We cannot blame the reserve of which they have given proof; it is explained by an honourable sentiment which has caused them to fear that they might exceed their constitutional authority, and encroach on the prerogatives of the great public powers. We live at a time in which the scruples of legality are too rare not to be cited in honour of the constituted corps which gave an example of them. Still we cannot disguise from ourselves that the initiative of the Coun cils-General, in the limits to which they have con sidered themselves obliged to restrict it, loses much of the importance and efficacy it might have had; we may even say that it no longer re sponds to the public solicitude, impatience, and anxiety. The Constitution must be revised, and revised legally,' such is the formula adopted by most of the Coun cils-General. But in the expression of this modest wish the Councils-General have been forestalled by public opinion. The cries of the Constitution are so well recognised that the necessity of revising it is not contested even by the great number of those veho drew it up. This necessity has just been proclaimed once more by the man whom we will call as much as he pleases the founder of the Republic, for we do not we tend to flatter him in giving him the title—by M. de Lamartine himself. This wish for the revision, which is in every mind and ever mouth, had almost nothing to gain being expressed by the Councils-General. But what are the means of revising the Constitution in ob serving the forms and conditions laid down by the Con stitution itself? Such is the important, the delicate, the true question in the order of the day. Article 111 of the Constitution is thus conceived: ' When in the last year of the legislation, the National Arsembly shall have expressed the wish that the Constitutio❑ shall be modified wholly or in part, the re vision shall be proceeded to in the following manner. The wish expressed by the Assembly shall only become a definitive resolution after three consecutive de liberations, taken each at a month's interval, and by three-fourths of the suffrages expressed. The number of voters must be five hundred at least.' Can such a majority as this article requires —a majority uniting three-fourths of the votes expressed—be obtained in the present Assembly ? Can tLis majority be formed, not once by chance, but three times following, and with a month's interval ? Such are the two questions raised by Article 111 of the Constitution, which now cccupy pub lic opinion. We quote these two difficulties ; we might indicate many others. In not touching on these deli cate questions, in passing them over in silence, aopa• rently because they believed that they were not within the limits of their powers, the Councils-General have merited the honourable mention which we have just ac corded to their modesty and prudence, but they have re mained beneath the expectation which they had excited in public opinion. The country would probably have absolved them bad they been less prudent." It is evident from the above that the state of public opinion in the departments as indicated by the deli berations in the Councils General, is by no means such as to please those who are endeavouring to promote a reaction in favour of monarchy.

Gentleman looked merely to the amount of notes issued by the Bank, and measured the public accommodation by that amount, as3uming that one fixed amount of notes out of the custody of the Bank, and in the hands of the public, will at all times produce the same effect, and will be governed by the same laws. This glaring fallacy was completely overturned by the other testimony, particularly by that of Messrs. HORSLEY PALMER, NORMAN, and S. GURNEY, who pointed out the " hoarding" of notes occasioned by the fear that the requisite supply could not be ob- tained, and the consequent diminution of the cir culation, by four or five millions of pounds sterling, and also the diminution of the activity and efficiency of that circulation. The last named gentleman, Mr. S. GURNEY, clearly proved that the same amount of notes in the hands of the public would act very differently according to dif ferent circumstances. That in many cases the amount out would " no longer be currency," and even the Governor of the Bank declared that "in times of panic the money market will bear the issue of a greater quantity of notes than it will in ordinary times, for the ordinary purposes of trade, without affecting the exchanges." On this point, then, Mr. LOYD stands wholly alone. He has no supporter, and yet the " well selected" majority of the Commit tee of the Commons rely implicitly on his evidence in favour of the Act, evidence which is so completely overset by the truly noble Committee of the heredi tary branch of the Legislature.

Manohester,buxton,and Akiatleck C( a4 principles, stating that under "an adverse exchange the circulation ought to be contracted, but no such necessity exists under a favourable exchange," still thought that " the Banking department should nct look to the causes of a drain of bullion, but simply look to the state of the banking reserve." He is thus not merely opposed to the other testimony in this respect, but even inconsistent with himself. It was, however, necessary to go to this extent if he would vindicate the Act, which applies one invariable rule to every case, and which re quires a contraction of the circulation when the bullion has decreased from internal causes, although there is at the moment a flow of bullion into the country. The lion. Gen tleman was, indeed, what an Old Bailey advocate would term " an admirable witness," sticking at nothing to support his " bantling," which was cer tainly, if not his actual offspring, at least " the child of his adoption." He, however, proved rather too much. His evidence might have been more valuable if it had been less decisive--if it had admitted some slight defects, and not claimed absolute perfection for the culprit on trial. To borrow an illustration from proceedings before the criminal tribunals, we may suggest that an alibi is not always the best defence that can be set up when the complicity of the pri- on the Ist inst.

J. H. BROWN. Register-General of Seamen, Aug. 29, 1850. A FURIOUS BULLOCH.—For several hours yester day afternoon the vicinity of Newington, Camberwell, and Walworth were kept in a state of alarm by a furious bullock, which broke from a herd driven along the Kent-read, and attacked every thing that came across it. A woman, named Ann Gieering, living in Tower-street, Waterloo-road, was knocked down and gored by the animal. She had to be removed to the hospital. A gentleman, named Seagrave, living in Kennington-oval, was also dreadfully injured. After a chase of two hors the animal was secured in Blackman street.

Mndrid journals of the ht have arrived. The elec ions a Madr4l Fr d at V.l?3lo1i•1 hnve gone in favour of the i'loderadoes. 'l'no Centralist Chief BALIARDO was captured in the neighbourhood of Barcelona, and instantly shot. The Bolsa was closed on the Ist. GERMANY. King OTIio met the Emperor of AljiaMA and Count NEssEmtonu at Lehi. The Augsinagh Gazette of the 2d gives the follow ing as the result of the conferences at Ischl : Russia will communicate to the Court of Berlin its disapproval of the line of policy it has hitherto pur sued. PETER, Duke of Oldenburgh, will be nomi nated to succeed to the throne of Denmark. Holstein and Lauenburgh will continue to form a part of the Germanic Confederation. , Russia will renounce the right of succession that she has over a part of Hol stein (namely, on Kid) in the case of the accession of the line of Augustenburgh, which would put it in possession of the important port of Kiel. The prin cipal question is in what way to compensate the line of Augustenburgh. The Austrian Ministers at foreign courts have pre sented a note announcing that the limited Germanic Diet had been constituted on the 2d inst. at Frank fort, under the presidency of Austria ; and at the same time he, the Austrian Envoy, left with the Mi nister a copy of the minutes of proceedings, showing that the 11 following powers formed a part of the new confederation : —Austria, Bavaria, 'Wurtem burgh, Hanover, Saxony, Electoral Hesse, Hesse Darmstadt, Denmark for Holstein, Holland for Lux embourgh, Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and Lippe Det mold. Prussia and her allies had refused to take any part in the proceedings of the new Diet, and would not recognise it in any way whatever. On the other hand, Austria and the other members of the Diet had signified their determination to make their resolutions and acts respected, even by force of arms. The Assembly of the States of Hesse Cassel was dissolved on the 2d inst. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Tre Schleswig Holstein Assembly is summoned to meet on Monday next, at Kiel. No change has taken place in the state of affairs ; 30,000 Holsteiners are still in face of 35,000 Danes. Both armies have strong Positions, which they are daily strengthening by fortifications. Several Bavarian troops have received orders 'to march to Schleswig-Holstein. It appears they are not to aid the Schleswig-Holsteiners, but are to aid in carrying out the negotiations of the treaty of peace according to the wishes of Denmark and the non- German great powers in assisting to disband the Schleswig Holstein army. SWEDEN. To the 30th August, 621 persons were attacked by the cholera at Malmo, and 158 had died. The dis ease is on the increase.

INGRAIL — Died on Th urs d ay, aged seventy-eight, after a short illness, at his lodgings, Trinity College, the Rev. James Ingram, D.D., F.S.A., President of Trinity College, and rector of Garsingtcn, Oxon. Dr. Ingram, on the death of Dr. Thomas Lee, was elected to the headship of Trinity College, in 1824. Mr. Ingram proceeded to the decree of Master of Arts on the Bth of May, 100; to that of Bachelor of Divinity on the Ist of December, 1808; and to that of Doctor in Divinity on the 10th of July, 1824. Dr. Ingram published his " Memorials of Oxford," a woik of great antiquarian research, in 1827. EXCELLENT COW.—In one of those patches of the county of Cromarty, so curiously distributed throughout Ross-shire, and called the Plaids, there is a remarkably pro lific cow, a cross between the common Highland cow and a shorthorn or Teeswater bull. In 1846, at the age of three years, she had tins; in 1848, 1949, and 1850, also twins each year, making in all eight calves in four years. The twins of 1850 were females, and those of the three former Yeats male and female. She was purposely kept from the bull in 181 and consequently had no calf, or calves rather. The calves have all been distinguished for strength and sym metry, and as a different bull was employed each year, the prolific virtue appears to reside entirely in the cow. This animal, with four of her calves, was exhibited at the late cattle show at Tain, and more healthy and bulky animals than the calves could net be seen for their age.—lnverness Courier. .CITY OF L ONDON R EGIS TRATION.--The forthcoming revision of the list of voters of the city of London, there is every reason to believe, will be much abbreviated this year, the effect of the sal u t ary power vested in the revising bar rister of awarding costs where frivolous objections have beer_ raised to votes on t h e reg i ster. So effectually has it rked, that instead of having, as formerly, nearly i,COO objections to the livery list alone, this year they will not number 2C03 including double objections by both parties. The number of claims for the livery list amounts to four only. The house holders' lists will also be much reduced from the loaner number, no doutt from the same cause. Me. Sidney Smith will defend the Liberal voters and Mr. Brown the Conserva tive. The revision will commence on the 16th inst. An invention has been patented, called the Auto graphic Press, by which a letter written on prepared paper can be transferred by a short process to a metallic plate, from which any number of copies may afterwards be taken on common paper, and by ordinary pressure. THE MARBLE Alma—For the tacit few days men have been engaged in erecting scaffolding round the marble arch in front of Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of its removal. A part of the railing of the Green Park, nearly opposite to the northern corner of the palace, has been taken down, and a short distance on the other side of it boarding has been eru...ted for a space of sixty yards long by thirty wide, within which the stones of the arch are to be deposited until they are otherwise dispose of. The turf of the space within the enclosure is being used in lining a new path which has been m a d e from the sout h-west entrance into the park close to th e D u k e of Sutherland ' s mans i on , and pro ceeding in a more direct line than tl - e old path to Hyde Park-corm-2r. "%When the arch is taken down, which will be ire about a fortnight, the new front of the palace, which has ust been completed, will be seen to advantage. The great gun of the deserted city of Beejapore is about to be transported to Europe, and will find a place in the Exhibition of 1851. The weight of the gun is upwards of 42 tons—a tremendous specimen of Oriental ordnance.
