We have pointed- obit the too close proximity of the site to London, Erith'.liOng-searcely removed beycnd the atmosphere of the Capital.

Any circumstance which tends in any manner to expedite the carrying out of the system of extramural inter ment must be eagerly welcomed by the inhabitants of the capital ; and consequently the intimation to which we are alluding cannot fell in affording general satis faction. However much we may object to the defici encies of the measure passed during the last session throu,Oe the Imperial Legislature, we are still alive t( tl - e great advantages accruing to the metropolis and its vicinity from the simple fact of any such interference having taken place on the part of the Parliament. The concessions made in the Metropolitan Inter ments Bill to the clergy of the Establishment continue, of course, as they have done hitherto, to fill us with regret at such an enormous dereliction of duty on the part of the House of Commons, an assembly to which the people have ever looked with con fidence as to the conservators of the rights and liberties of the population. We lament especially the circumstance that, in yielding thus largely to the ecclesiastical authorities, the Govern ment have consulted in an evil hour to authorize any body of men, but especially the clerical minority, to levy rates at their pleasure upon the multitude. Be sides this, it is matter of serious regret on our part that the local board presiding over the administration of the affairs of the ceme tery will remain subject to the domination of the metropolitan clergy, and especially of the Right Reverend Father in God the Lord Bishop of LONDON Afficting the popular interests as the matter does so very peculiarly and intimately, we should have wished to see the system of extramural sepulture screened by every means from the interposition of any other authority .than that immediately emanating from the people themselves. Nevertheless, the first question was, not How shall the change be effected ? but Shall the change be effected at all ? And hence, while looking dejectedly at the blunders which have been permitted to mar the symmetry of the recent bold and beneficent innovation, we are prepared to exult most cordially over the mere consideration that the Legislature has adventured at last upon any such reform whatever. , ~~. we have endeavoured to demonstrate the scheme to be objectionable upon other grounds, such, for example, as its affording upon false principles a very unfortu nate and pernicious precedent. Yet, in spite of all these reasons for hesitation, so great is our sense of the evils arising from the baleful system of intra mural interment, that we gladly swallow all our regrets and disappointments to welcome the measure itself, and the carrying of it into operation. What ever errors are committed in the recent plans of the Government, as far as this sanitary innovation is concerned, they are as nothing compared to the horrors and abominations arising out of the old and atrocious method of huddling our dead bodies indiscri minately into our pestilential city graveyards. Instead of this latter practice, anything different, no matter how repulsive to our ideas of propriety, would be preferable. Our first solicitude is, of course, to put an end at once and for ever to those fiendish and brutal violations:of the",sanctity of the tomb which GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, the originator of the whole sanitary movement, dragged into the light of day and revealed to the scrutiny of his fellow countrymen. Our first anxiety is to wit ness the realization of all the dreams of this good and brave-hearted citizen, one of the truest, the noblest and the most self-sacrificing of our national benefactors. While referring thus inciden tally to the great personal achievements of Mr. WALKER—to whose single hand and unaided energy may be traced all the sanitary reforms already adven tured upo❑ by the Legislature—we cannot refrain from adverting to a brief but genial tribute lately paid to him by a very able member of the medical profession. On the occasion of delivering an official address to the students at the London Hospital, Mr. NATHANIEL WARD,* the assistant surgeon of that establishment, followed up in these words his refer ence to the reforms already effected in the promotion of sanitary improvement : " Well may we be proud of reckoning among our number the promoters of such grand improvements. Well may we hold them up to you as brilliant patterns of extended Christian charity ; of the unbiassed devotion of philosophy to the attainment of a definite object, fraught with peace, with health, with plenty, to many whose lives, at the present moment, aro debased and embittered, and whose death is prematurely accelerated. In pointing them out to you, we refer your attention to no one am')ng them with greater pleasure, with purer satisfaction, than to George Alfred Walker, whose name and whose deeds will ere long occupy more than one bright page in the annals of fame." What may be the precise views entertained by this distinguished citizen as to the advisability of select ing Erith as the locality to be employed for the pur poses of extramural sepulture, we cannot of course say ; but of this, at any rate, we rest assured — namely, that he, in common with ourselves and the rest of the community, is prepared to rejoice at every additional step in advance, at every step which car ries us nearer to the realization of his generous vi sions of philanthropy. " Introductory Address, delivered at the London &c. By Nathaniel Ward, F.H.C.S.E. Bvo., pp. 32. London: Cox, 1850. The Chairman of the National Reform Association acted judiciously in impressing upon the minds of the people the great truth, that if they desire " an extension of their political rights, they must win it through their own exertions." There is no royal road to improvement. Before the dreams of the Financial Reformers can be realized a long road, crowded with difficulties, will have to be traversed, and every step in advance can only be achieved by strenuous and unceasing efforts. There can be no rest, no cessation of labour during the ascent. The goal must be reached before there can be time for slumber or enjoyment. If they persevere in time, they will arrive at the loftiest pinnacle, but they cannot remain stationary ; they must either advance or retrograde. They have a crafty and insi dious foe to encounter, who will make the most of the Idvantages of their position, and increase the difficulties of every movement. It is only by cordial union, by steady and combined exertions, by zealous co-operation, that the numerous obstacles and impediments can be surmounted. Any division or difference in the patriotic band will, if not absolutely proving fatal to their hopes, at least materially impede their progress; and to sow these dissensions will be the chief object of the reactionaries, as well as of those who argue for the finality of the Act of 1832. Let every true reformer, however, resist the attempt, and be prepared to sacrifice a portion of his individual is so essential to success. Many persons desire not only a large extension of the suffrage, but insist, as a sine quit non, that every man of full age, unstained by crime, and free from any legal disability, should have a vote in the selection of a Member of the House of Commons, and we freely and readily admit that, so long as a single item of indirect taxation is continued, such is his unquestionable right and privilege. That there shall be " no taxation without representation"—that every man who in any degree contributes to the liquidation of the national liabilities, or the main tainance of the national establishments, should have a voice, either by himself or his representative, in the Legislative Assembly, is the constitutional theory of the British nation—a theory which has been recog nized and acknowledged by the most emi nent statesmen and judges cf the land. But, unfortunately, the attempt to obtain that full measure of justice, and the rejection cf all intermediate ameliorations, would be destructive to the popular cause. Numbers of really honest men are not prepared for such rapid progress; they have been taken by the specious fallacies of the obstruc tives, that the people are not yet prepared for uni versal suffrage, that in such a case liberty would legenerate into licentiousness, and the remedy be Norse than the disease. To meet these cautious ileubts, the association has decided for the present to advocate ths;, extension of the franchise to every adult male occupier of a bona fide dwelling, whether it be the whole or a part of a house. Would this, then, be regarded as a boon of so little magnitude that i,t should be rejected with disdain by Any class of reformers ? In place of the electors being Limited to about one million of persons, it would im mediately quadruple the number, and every man de serving of the franchise, and duly qualified to exercise that important trust, would see his way to its speedy attainment. Let the Chartists, before they permit themselves to be turned into tools of the Tories, seri ously consider the incalculable advantages that would eesult from this extension, and let them regard as their worst enemies and the worst enemies of the community, as traitors to the popular cause, all who would urge them to press forward their own ex treme views, and to impede the proceedings of the real reformers, who aeek after that which is practi cable, and may be speedily attained if there only be " a lonrpull, a strong pull," (but above all) " a pull all together." But it is not only in the extension of the franchise that the National Reform Association desires to ex tend the privilegei ,of the people. It would afford ample security against the exercise of any corrupt influence in the exercise of the suffrage thus obtained. It would at the same time guard against bribery or intimidation, and for this purpose it would give ma BALLOT, which would prevent venality on the part of the elector, as well as coercion on the part of his landlord, employer, or customer. It would protect the sacred duty he was called on to perform from every species of outrage, and ensure the independence of his vote, the certainty that it was given in accordance with his own priyate convictions, by the fact that the person for whom he veted would be known only to himself. Are rot the Chartists in this respect rowing in the same boat with the associa tion ? Do they not also demand the ballot AS one of the most important " points " of their Charter, and should they not aid heart and hand in its at tainment ? The third proposition of the association—triennial Parliaments—is a fair and reasonable compromise between the existing state of affairs and the annual elections d,mandvd by the Chartists. Many grave of jections cau be pointed out to each of the extremes which are not applicable to the "golden mean." A man may calculate on a seven years' tenure of his seat, as enabling him to despise the remonstrances of his con • stituents. It will afford ample opportunities for playing a dishonest game, and intriguing with the Ministers for the time being, if he be so minded. On the other hand, three years would sp , edily elapse; the day of reckoning would be at hand, and would never be lot sight of. The constituency would everbe treated with respect, and their wishes and suggestions re ceived end acted on with zealous attention. Rattings and tergiversations are ever rare during the last years of an aged Parliament. But it may be said that all those arguments are more in favour of annual than of triennial Parliaments. Granted. But there are serious inconveniences to which the former are exposed from which the latter are per fectly free. There would be a constant and unceas ing excitement that would be by no means benefic to the general interest of the empire. There wet I be no rest or repose, and the country would be ex posed to a very heavy expenditure at too frequen n tervals. Besides, Hon. Gentlemen would not in a single year have sufficient opportunities of acquiring experience and showing the stuff they were made of. Many valuable representatives might be rejected, and their services lust to the country, because they had not been able to conquer the diffidence and mauvaise honte that must to a cer tain degree attend maiden efforts. For these among other reasons, we confess that, as at present advised, we prefer triennial even to annual Parlia ments ; and they have this additional recommenda tion, that if it should be thought advisable, another stage might be taken in advance, whereas if annual Parliaments were once established it would be impos sible to prolong the term, however desirable it might be to do so. The equalization of the electoral districts is so ma nifestly just and equitable that it scarcely requires a word in its favour. It is, indeed, too absurd to say that Thetford, with its 221 electors, should neutralise the West Riding, with its 36,750 voters, or that Richmond (Yorkshire), or Harwich, with their 250 or 260 voters, should be equivalent in the Parliamen tary scale to the Tower Hamlets. Let all classes then unite cordially and in sincerity. Let them sink minor differences in order to attain the common ob ject, and we promise a more speedy success than most sanguine reformers have ventured to anticipate. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Illoniteur published facial returns, showing the receipts of the Customs and Excise department for the nine months of the present year, from which it appears that the receipts of the present year exceed those of the corresponding period of 1849 by 28,183 E, and of 1848 by 41,227 f. The Constitutionnel, as in duty bound, publishes a long article glorifying the Government for these results. _ _ _ The &sele in commenting on the departure of M. DUPIN from Paris, calls upon the Committee to con voke the Assembly at once. It appears that the sar castic DUPIN " trotted out" General D'HAUTPOUL on Friday to the great amusement of the Committee of Permanence. " Would you not have punished cries of 'Down with the President,' " said he to the heavy Minister of War. "That I would," replied General D'HAUTPOUL. "Know then," sarcastically observed M. Durex, "that Vive l'Emperereur' means a bas le President.' " It is said that Generals EXCELMANS, OUDINOT, and CHANGARNIER, are to be rated to the dignity of Marshals of France. There are rumours current of an approachin change in the Ministry. It is said that General D'HAUTPOUL will resign, and be succeeded by General LAHITTE as Minister of War, who in his turn will be succeeded in the Foreign Department by M. DE PERSIGNY.

HER MAJESTY AND THE LATE QUEEN ADE LAIDE'S DONATIONs.—We are gratified to announce that the Queen has generously extended her bounty to those members of the household of the late Queen Dowager, whose length of servitude in the late King's establishment and of Queen Adelaide merited some permanent and yearly allowance. Lord John Russell and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is said, could not well come before the House of Commons and ask for a grant of public money, although they acknow ledged that many of the Royal servants, from the length of their services, were entitled to much respect. The Queen most generously came forward, and out of her own purse has caused yearly bounties, varying from 301. to 601, to b e awarded to those persons whose claims are most prominent. —Morning P a p er . ' THE PROJECTED POLISH BALL.—Yesterday a numerous meeting of the committee appointed to make the necessary arrangements with reference to the Polish Ball (which is fixed for the 14th of November next), was held at the Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Holt in the chair. The meeting was attended by Lord Dudley C. Stuart, ALP., C. Anstey, L . sq., ALP., sev era l f ore i gn gen tl emen , and a large number of influential members of the Common Council.

RURAL PoLICE FOR SURREY.—At the Surrey Quarter Sessions, held yesterday at Kingston, a committee of magistrates was appointed to consider the propriety of adopting a rural police in some parts of that county. The committee consists of the Lord-Lieutenant, the members for the county, the chairmen of the different Quarter Sessions, and other magistrates. The report is to be presented at the Epiphany Sessions.

The sales ef Cotton at Liverpool yes!erday were esti mated at 4,000 bales, chiefly American, and nearly all to the trade. The market closed quietly at previous rates.—lnlway Shares a good business was done at previous quotations. The Corn Market is very steady, and with a small supply. Prices bad rather an upward tendency. It appears that there has been no very satisfactory result at the quarterly meetings of ironmasters held last week, and prices were rather feebler, being irregular also, for it is asserted that there were sellers who bad, for some time, been frittering away their capital, or gradually involving themselves, by doing business under the averago of the trade generally. The competition in producing the better descriptions of iron is repre sented as being greater than it was, for formerly only the leading establishments turned it out. Speculation is exceedingly dormant in the article, and, under circum stances, we cannot that it can be expected to be otherwise, as there is no opening for increased con sumption at present. The simple fact has long been apparent that the make is too large. It might not have been deemed excessive during the fever of railway con struction, but as it is notorious that new furnaces were brought into play expressly for that occasion; it is as evident that when the outlet is closed the supply should be curtailed, and no one will be surprised to learn that different works are changing bands. Accounts to the beginning of September from Hon duras, give a very encouraging representation of the state of trade, and one party writes es follows : "In this settlement we are very busy manufacturing the vast quantity of mahogany got out by the late floods: The Public Meeting has held a special session since my last. Much ill feeling exists between that body and the Executive. The latter has received notice of recall, which is highly satisfactory to the former, who seems determined to have the Chief Justice also removed, and will leave nothing done to effect his recall. This quar rel is local, and of no interest to your readers. In the states of Honduras and Guatemala, the Indians, having met with many reverses, and having lost many of their most skilful and successful leaders, have given up the contest and retired to the mountains, where they are comparatively safe from the whites, who, flushed with success and victory, are pursuing and occasionally taking prisoners and slaying some stragglers. The roads are now free. Cochineal and Indigo are daily arriving from Guatemala. An un usually largo amount of goods has been purchased for that market during the last month. There are a large number of merchants from the interior now here making purchases. Merchandise is scarce and higb. Some house might be established here for the sale of American domestics, which could dot fail to be very profitable. From ten to twenty thousand bales of coarse goods could (with proper care) be disposed of for cash, or cochineal and indigo, every year. I hope some of your readers will look to this. "From the Island of Ruatan we have nothing in teresting. The people and magistrates having got tired of quarrelling have set to work planting, which will be far more profitable to them and this settlement. Our provision market is in a very good state. All articles from the United States are paying very well. Mahogany and logwood are doing better than formerly. Turtle shell, indigo, cochineal, sarsaparella, are eagerly sought after; and on the whole we are in a prosperous and pay ing condition." In the Amsterdam Bourse on the 14th inst. Stocks were dull.

The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 99 to 994, and the Three per Cents. 96i to 97. Bank Stock is worth 209 to 210, and India Stock 268. Exchequer-bills have been 655. to 685., and India Bonds 87 prem. The Foreign Investments have been steady, but the arrangements for " carrying over" have been in pro gress. Mexican have been at 314, and Peruvian at 804 to for the Four and-a-Half per Cents., and at a rise to 36/- and 37 for the Deferred. Grenada Bonds have been quoted 184; Buenos Ayres, 554; and Brazilian Small, 91. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 574. The settlement of the account in the Railway Share Market has engaged almost exclusive attention, and is de cidedly in favour of the:speculators for a rise. The extent to which speculative purchases have been made is such, that parties are running about offering very high rates of " continuation," as much, indeed, where the accom modation is but for a day or two, as would amount to 30 or 40 per cent. per annum. These, however, are, of course, only exceptional cases, and merely indicate temporary pressure. North-Western Shares, being scarce, have risen to 1164 4, Midland have touched 45, Great-Western 72, South-Eastern 214, and York and North-Midland 264. Great Northern have been supported. Canada Company's Shares have been at 40, and United Mexican Mine at 64. QUARTER TO THREE. _.. _ Consols ... .. ... ... 1 - Ditto Account ~. ... ... 91 971 I BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

CORN EXCHAN GE.-WEDNESDA Y The quantity of English Wheat on sale in to-day's market (from a good clearance of the supply bring effected on Monday) was small. On the whole, the de mand for that grain ruled steady, and last week's quota tions Were well supported. The imports of foreign Wheat have amounted to 9,410 quarters. Selected parcels were in fair request, at fully late ratcs. In the middling and inferior kinds ntxt to nothing was doing. Fine Malting Barley was scarc e , a nd qu it e as d ear . I n • ferior qualities commanded very little attention. Malt — the supply of which was on the increase—ruled heavy, but we have no decline to notice in prices. There was less doing in Oats, at about stationary prices. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were much neglected. Flour was held at full rates of currency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Malt.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) KENNY V. ARCHDELL—SLANDER. This was an inquiry to assess damages in an action for slander, the defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. The plaintiff is one of the clerks on the Blackwell Railway, and defendant is a young man of good family residing at Shadwell. Mr. Parry appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Clark son for the defendant; and it was agreed that a verdict should be taken by consent for 51. Mr. PARRY said it would be unnecessary for him to go into the particulars of the case, as the defendant had expressed his regret for using unwarrantable expressions towards the plaintiff, who was only performing his duty ; and there was no imputation on his integrity, and he was still in the company's employ. Mr. CLARKSON, for the defendant, expressed his regret that the language had been used in a moment of irrita tion arising out of a dispute relating to some tickets. It was clearly a mistake, and defendant wished to make the best amends he could by acknowledging his error. The jury gave a verdict for 51. MARLBRO'-STREET.-(T HIS DAY. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY AN ITALlAN.—Giovanni Zannelli, an Italian street musician, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with violently assaulting David Rees. The prosecutor was not able to attend, being at pre sent in Middlesex Hospital in a most dangerous state from the injuries he had received. A certificate signed by the house-surgeon to the above effect was producCd, when a young man named Shernon, who had witnessed the assault, stated that yesterday afternoon he was in Charles-street listening to the prisoner and his com panions playing, when he saw the man who is at present iu the hospital, go up and speak to one of the men who was playing the harp, and who in reply laughed, as in a good-humoured manner. The prisoner then, with out the least cause or provocation, left his com panions and seizing hold of David Rees, threw him with great violence into the road, the back part of his head coming in contact with the kerb stone. Witness ran forward and picked him up in an insensible state, and on carrying him to a surgeon's it was found that the back part of his skull was fractured. A constable was then called and the prisoner was given into custody. Rees was subsequently taken to the hospital. The prisoner denied the charge and said the injured man used insulting language, and eventually struck him; in yetturn hn merely anvn him a push when he tell down. Mr. HARDWICK remanded the prisoner until Wednes. day next. ROBBERY AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. John Williams, a young man with about 20 aliases, was charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of Mr. John Hinde Hale, brewer, No. 11, Oxford-street. The prosecutor deposed that on the previous night be was at the promenade concert at her Majesty's Thea tre, and on making his way through the crowd he felt a tug at his watch. He looked round and saw the pri soner close by his side, and on witness feeling in his pocket he missed his watch, which had been cut away from the guard. Witness immediately collared the prisoner, and taxed him with robbing him of his watch. The prisoner denied it, and having extri cated himself from witness's grasp, endeavoured to make his escape from the house. Witness, however, kept him in sight until he got to the door, when he gave him in charge to a constable. Police-sergeant Mount said he received charge of the prisoner, and conveyed him to the station, where he was searched, but the watch was not found. The prisoner was a member of the swell mob, and was well known to the police. The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was re , mended till Saturday next. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) John Deering was charged under the following cir cumstances :—A policeman, of the E division, said that about eight o'clock last night h e saw th e prisoner in Judd street, Brunswick• square, surrounded by a mob of about 200. He Ras swearing and running after several young children, and afterwards asked a gentleman to buy a pawn-ticket for a watch. Upan taking him to the sta tion thirteen pawn-tickets for watches and eleven for pieces of silk were found upon him. In answer to further questions the witness stated that he was well known as a regular " watch duffcr," going about town selling pawn-tickets. The prisoner said that he had bought all the articles at sales, and afterwards pawned them. Mr. ComBE said it was a regular system, and it was observed that none of the articles were Fawned in the same name or at the same place ; be should, therefore, fine the prisoner 205., or 14 days' imprisonment.—The fine was not paid. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY. SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A MOTHER ON HER CHILD.— This day, Catherine Carpenter, a married woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and in capable ( f taking care of herself, and with cruelly ill using her child by knocking its head against a wall. Alfred Smith, a lad, stated that about 9 o'clock the previous night he was in Hunt-street, Spitalfields, when he saw the prisoner violently shaking an infant child that she had in her, arms.

The first of the series of these concerts took pig ° last evening at her Majesty's Theatre, and whether or not the committee may succeed in what they state, t r ° ~ be their aim, viz., "to present an intellectual er° 6 l tainment of the highest order, embracing the grain works of the greatest masters, illustrated by the w° s ,, eminent artistes in Europe," there can be but little doubt but that, as a pecuniary speculation, the enter. prise will be most prosper o u s , th a t i s , if w e judg e from the occurrences of last evening.
