Sir,—We, the undersigned passeniers by the Royal Mail Steam Company's ship, Tyne, from Southampton to Madeira, beg to forward to you, for the guidance of persons intending to winter in this island, the following statement : "In consequence of the prevalence of yellow fever in Lisbon, that port was declared infected on the Bth ult., and the passengers of all vessels touching there on their way to Madeira are placed in quarantine for 15 days on landing at Funchal. The Board of Health at this place, assuming, as we firmly believe, illegal power, has con demned us to seven days more than the utmost period sanctioned by quarantine laws, viz., eight days. We are also subjected to restrictions quite unnecessary for the preservation of the Quarantine, and dictated by a spirit of despotic power. We have appealed to our re. gpective consuls, who have done their best with the authorities, but hitherto in vain, the plain fact being that the local board, influenced by popular clamour, as by its arbitrary enactments placed itself, not only above the Central Board of Health at Lisbon, but also Above the law of the land and the law of nations. The discomforts we endure and the expenses we incur will form the subject of a future letter. We wish it, how ever, to be understood that this annoyance applies only to passengers via Lisbon, for those by any of the three other lines of vastnis direct from England are free. The island itself is in a perfect healthy state.—We are, ste., " Baron d' Hereeelin, D. Jones, M.P. ; A. J. D. D'Orsey. Clerk ; Geo. Lund, M..D. ; Th. Bahr, M.D. ; Richard Davies, W. F. M.

The following particulars of the despatch of the Bombay and Calcutta Overland Mails will be into resting to ourreaders. The Bombay mail (15 boxes) reached Paris on Friday evening in time to be de spatched by the regular mail train. It left Paris at 7.30 p.m., and arriive , d at Bonlogne at 1.5 a.m. on Saturday. The celebrated mail packets Prince Fre derick William embarked the mail iu Boulogne roads, and left at 1.20 ; wind light and easterly, night very dark and hazy, and numerous herring boats in the track. She arrived at the Admiralty Pier, Dover, against tide, in 1 hour 25 minutes; the mail was lauded and carried to the station in 15 minutes, and the train started at 3.27 and arrived at London-bridge at 5.31 a.m. The time occu pied in conveyance from London to Paris was under 10 hours, although the mails were embarked by small boats in Boulogne roads, and the railway train ran up to London in only 11 minutes less time it occupies in the daily morning exprei,s to Dover. This early arrival via Boulogne and Dover enabled. the Post-office to send out London letters by early delivery, and to despatch all the country portion by the regular morning mails. "Had the mails come in the usual manner via Calais, this could not have been effected, for the mails that left Paris by same train arrived at Dover about the same time as the Bombay mail arrived in London, although the mail packet Ondine was only 1 hour and 40 minutes on the passage. The Calcutta mail (43 boxes) left Paris by special train at 5 a.m. on Saturday, reached Boulogne at 10.50, was placed on board the Prince Frederick William in seven minutes, and the packet left Boulogne harbour at 11 o'clock and ran over to Dover in 1 boar and 42 minutes, the quickest passage ever made. Getting alongside and conveying the mail to the station occupied oily 12 minutes, and the train departed at six minutes before 1, and arrived at London-bridge at 4 minutt s bet ore 3 p.m. If the railways had kept the same time as on previous special occasions, this despatch would have been in reality the quickest ever made between London and Paris, for everything con nected with the Lonveyauce of the boxes from sta tion to packet and packet to station was done in the smartest manner. But the weather was much against keeping up speed on the rails, and, more over, eight minutes' delay took place at Folkestone in consequence of another train being in advance of the special train. It deserves to be recorded that the Pest-office, authorities have been eminently successful in their arrangements. By the measures they a topted to bring these mails from Marseilles to London the Calcutta mail was delivered in town n Saturday evening, instead of Monday morning, and the country portion of this most important mail was forwarded at least 36 hours before it would have been despatched under ordinary rout ❑o of arrival and departure, for had it arrive/ in Lon don later on Saturday the mail would have 're mained in the Post-office till yesterd iy morning. FOBTNIGEITbY AUSTRALIAN MAIL. The continued irregularity of the arrival of the Australian mail, and the consequent disarrange ment of commercial correspondence, is seriously de ti imental to all persons connected with these im portant colonies, and more especially to the mer cantile community. In due course the September mail aught to have been delivered in London, via Marseilles, November the 2d, yet we are still with out advices. The outward mail, via Southampton, left on the 12th, and the letters, via Marseilles,. must be posted on the 16th (Monday), so that there is no possibility of re,,lying to the heavy portion of the September mail, and it is quite possible that even the Marseilles bags will be despatched before letters come to hand even by that route; thus a fall month's loss of time will ensue in alt matters of business. The cause of the delay on the present occasion is said to be the striking of the Emeu steamer on a coral reef in the Red Sea, and cannot, therefore, be chargeable to want of proper arrangement on the part of the Australian Mail Company, for it appears she left Sydney at her appointed date, and arrived at Aden in due course. The heavy accumulative penalties which the Government has the power to levy must be destructive to the company if enforced on occasions produced by casualties and dangers of such a long sea voyage. Hence it is apparent that no foresight or care can secure an uninterrupted course of postal communication with these distant settlements ; therefore, the question naturally sug gests itself, whether any supplemental means can be found to lessen, if not to obviate, any temporary delay which may arise from similar disasters. A ready response to the query will be found, we con sider, in the fact that as it is the intention of the Government to establish weekly intercourse with our East Indian territories, an adjunct plan might he easily effected for running steamers between Point de Galle and the nearest point on the Aus tralian coast, say Nepean Bay, for the conveyance solely to and fro of the mails and passengers. By this short voyage a fortnightly transmission of let ters would be secured, and the expense of carrying out this most desirable arrangement would be com paratively insignificant. If it is necessary to esta blish weekly communication with the East Indies, surely the enormous trade of Australia with the mother country, and which, moreover, is so rapidly increasing, demands something more than a monthly mail, and that, moreover, by the. long unbroken sea voyage to Suez, which experience shows renders the steamers liable to accident and delay. The eagerness with which the arrival of each vessel from Australia is now looked for in respect of her frei.tht of gold alone is unmistakeable evidence of the im portance which the monetary world attaches to the expansion of the produce of these colonies in this particular, so that increased facility of communica tion renders it evidently of as much moment to the mother country as it is to the colonies themselves. Surely such a boon is ouch more legitimately due to the fostering of trade and civilisation than as the consequence of revolt and tumult, which has brought about this change for India in her postal arrangements.-11firsing Journal of Nov. 14.

A meeting of this Board was held yesterday in he Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall. The Pre iident, J. Thwaites, Esq., took the chair at twelve o'clock. MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr. D'IFEANGER, pursuant to notice, moved : " That before taking any further steps on the en qineering points of the main drainage, the Board, or a Committee, do seek au interview with the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the purpose of ascertaining whether Government are prepared to assist the Board in reference to its financial position, and to what ex tent ; and that the members of Parliament repre ,enting metropolitan constituencies be requested to Attend the interview." In doing so, he shortly urged that, without the aid of Government, it would be impossible for the Board to do anything. There must be indirect, as well as direct taxation, in order to obtain sufficient funds for properly draining the metropolis. Mr. lows seconded the motion. Mr. BRISTOW moved as an amendment that the question he now put. Mr. SAVAGE seconded the motion. The amendment was carried without discussion, he original motion was therefore lost. The PRESIDENT then presented his report of the result of the late conference with her Majesty's Chief Commissioner of Works, which Mr. Woolrych read as follows : " To the Metropolitan Board of Works. " I have to report that, pursuant to the resolution of be Board on the 30th Oct., I, accompanied by the en gineer and clerk of tile Board, attended the First Com uissioner of her Majesty s Works and Public Buildings, the parpoee of conferring with him on the. E abject the main intercepting 'drainage of theinetropOlis. " I entered generally into the several objections en tertained by the Board to the scheme proposed by the referees appointed by the First Commissioner. I stated that, in my opinion, some of the differences between the Board and the referees were rather subjects for the con - ,ideration of the First Commissioner and myself, re quiring to be adjusted before the engineering points should be discussed by the engineers. That these ques tions were those arising upon the portions of the report of the referees which applied to the preposal of open sewers, the enlarged area, and the oost of the extension of the ontfall beyond B 5 " Having referred to the objections which it appeared to me existed in point of law, and on other grounds, to the recommendations of the referees in relation to those questions, I proceeded to call the attention of the First Commissioner to the statement which he made to a de putation from this Board on the 20th Nov. last, to the effect that if the Board would adept the point of outfall suggested by Capt. Borstal, at B*, they would fulfil all tt.eir obligations under the Metropolis Local Manage. ruent Act so far as concerned the outfall, and asked him f, having regard to that statement, he could inform me, in case the Board should decide upon extending the out ran to Sea Reach, whether Government would adopt measures for contributing the additional cost consequent upon the extension. The First Commissioner said that, as regarded the question of the open sewage, he agreed with the Board that it was essential that the sewage of the metropolis should be conveyed away in covered channels, and consequently that the open sewers were inadmissible. That with respect to the proposed en largement of the area, he did not desire to impose upon the Board more than was now required by law, and only asked that they would carry out the object contemplated at the passing of the Metropolis Local Management Act, namely, that they would free the Thames of all impuri ties lowing into it within the limits of the metropolis. " With respect to the cost of theextension, that before the Government could pledge itself to make any contri bution to the cost of extended works, it must apply for the sanction of Parliament to any such arrangement, and, in, his opinion, Parliament would refuse to make any contribution whatever. "I then asked the First Commissioner whether, in the event of the Government and Parliament refusing to make any direct contribution to the cost of the works necessary for extending the outfall to Sea Reach, the Government would be prepared to aid the Board in ootaining the requisite funds for carrying out the main drainage, by borrowing the money and lending it to the Board at the same rate of interest, on the security of the rates, or by some other mode that might be suggested. " The First Commissioner said that the question whether the Government would ba willing to guarantee the money borrowed by the Board for the purpose of the main drainage, was one which lie was not in a situation to answer; that it was a matter peculiarly for the con sideration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but that if the Board should think proper to make an application to that gentleman directed to that object, he should be happy to attend any appointment at which such an application might be brought forward. "The First Commissioner further stated, that he would strongly urge the Board to convey the sewage to Sea R,,aeb ; that by so doing an efficient work would be carried out, and that the total additional cost would be teat by a rate not exceeding five farthings in the pound ; and be suggested that two Members of the Board should be associated with their engineer, that they should meet the referees and discuss the engineering points iuvolved in the questions at issue, with the view of agreeing upon a plan which it might be advisable to carry out ; and he added, that he should be happy to assist by every means in his power to bring the matter to a satis factor completion. " I stated that I would report to the board the re sult of the conference. (Signed) " J. THWAITES." Mr. A. R. BRISTOW moved a resolution to the effect that the board, having considered the whole matter, reiterates its conviction that to extend the point of outfall to Sea Reach at the cost of the metropolitan ratepayers, would be unjust to those ratepayers, and in direct contravention of the prin ciple of the Metropolis Local Management Act. In doing so, he apologised to Mr. D'lffanger for having displaced his motion ; but he conscienti .ously believed that this was not the proper time to carry out whattit proposed. He had read the re port of the late conference with mingled feelings of pain and pleasure. He felt pain at the course which the Government had adopted towards V° metropolitan ratepayers, as ho considered both un fair and oppressive ; but he felt pride and pleasure at the able and dignified manner in which the board had been represented by their president, and he begged, as a member of the board, to tender him his sincere thanks and congratulations upon the occasion. (Hear.) He would now consider what the present position of this great controversy was. Mr. Carpmael said, on a former occasion, that as plan B* had been rejected, the board was in fact without a plan. He disagreed with that proposition. The board had its plan, the Govern ment referees had. theirs, and as to the question of covered sewers, it must be satisfactory to the board to know that the Government agreed with them and not with the referees. The latter recom mended open sewers ; the board at once said No ; Sir B. Hall said No, and the public at large echoed the repudiation of the recommendation. The main and substantial question now to be con sidered is who is to pay the excess of expense in plac ing the outfall to Sea Reach. They all agreed as to the benefit and advantage attending that point of outfall. He would, however, press upon the board the necessity of standing firm to the principles which it had already., enunciated, and which were takingaStts hahg i r ierede B rße tad . hot H aeaowrtp nd a ai l wdty l eent t rh h cshi a iseu t mi nao increased ai dse s involved in hi s reso l u ti on.

Mr. CAREW-4.8L seconded the resolution. Mr. Deputy HARRISON—The suggestion of making the metropolitan rate-payers pay the excess of expenditure involved in carrying the outfall be yond the point indicated by B was unfair, and unwarranted by the Act. Ho hoped the Board would remember that they were spending the ratepayers, money, and if they exceeded the powers given by the Act, they would not be acting honestly, and their precepts would be repudiated as illegal. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—The main question was, who was to pay the increased expense ? If the Board would stand well with the public, they ought to throw the excess on the Government. The Chief Commissioner now said that he had never directly or indirectly, said that he would meet that excess. On reference to the instructions he had given to the referees, he distinctly states that any extra cost would not have to be borne by the ratepayers. The principle of the B* was the right one and ought to bo adhered to. The Chief Commissioner had virtually pledged the Government to meet the extra expense caused by placing the outfall at Sea Reach S. end if he had any principle, ought to feel himself bound by that pledge. (Hear.) Most of the members said a few words in sup port of the motion, which was ultimately carried by a majority of 28 to 3, in a board consisting of 31 members. Mr, BitasioW theta moved that the metropolitan members of Parliament, and the members of coun ties and boroughs, should be invited to meet the Board in order to discuss the matter. The motion was seconded, but negatived. A long and desultory conversation ensued in the course of which Mr. Leslie stigmatised the re port of the referees as a tissue of abominable trash and nonsense which it was an insult to common sense to waste time upon. Ultimately the further consideration of the matter was referred to Monday next, in order to enable members to consider the observations of the referees, in reply to the obser vations of the Metropolitan Board of Works on the report of the referees. The members, in the course of their remarks, warmly eulogised the temper, firmness, and ability with which the President had represented the Board in the late conference. THE GAS MOVEMENT IN MARYLEBONE. The vestry of St. Marylebone met on Saturday, in the Court-house, Maryleboue-lane, for the dis posal of general business, Mr. Churchwarden Soden presiding. After the disposal of some routine busi ness, of no public importance, the important ques tion touching the amalgamation of gas companies, and the threatened monopoly in the supply of that commodity, was brought on by the vestry proceed ing to consider tenders for era parish-lighting after Christmas next. The usual notice requesting ap plications for contracts had been issued, but Mr. Greenwell, the vestry clerk, announced that there had been only one tender sent io, and that wasfrom the Chartered Gas Company, offering to supply the parish lamps at the rate of 3/. 10s. each lamp per annum, -with an illuminating power equal to eight sperm candles ; 4/. frinn ifluminating power equal to ten candles ; and 4/. 7s. 6d. for an illuminating powerequal to twelve candles. The Equitable Com pany, at present supplying the parish with gas, de clined to accept the contract after Christmas; and the London and Westein Company also declined to accept contracts, urging that they had been badly treated by the vestry of that parish on previous oc casions, when they were refused to ba allowed to lay down pipes in the parish, so the vestry were left entirely at the mercy of the amalgamation. They must either accept the tender of the Chartered Company, or go without gas. Mr. GREENWELL informed the vestry that, ac cording to act of Parliament, the supply should be at an illuminating power of twelve candles, but the charge proposed by the Chartered Company was 1/. 7s. 6d. more than the charge made by the Equi table Company, in their present contract. Mr. BRIDGMLN contended that this increased charge by the Chartered Company was only just, in consequence of the treatment of that company by the vestry, nine years ago. The company then offered to supply a good and cheap gas at a reason able price, but the vestry would not accept their terms, but adopted a system of monopoly. (Hear, and dissent.) Mr. BELTON also condemned the conduct of the vestry, and urged that the parish had only one alternative now, and that was to have their own works, and supply their own gas. (Hear.) Dr. BA.CHILOFFNER said that the communica tionfromthe Chartered Company appeared wholly unintelligible, as they spoke of three powers of gas, that of eight, ten, and twelve sperm candle power. He considered inquiryshou Id be made in the matter before auy further proceedings were adopted. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HonoEs maid be should support any such pro position as that for the parish, like Manchester, to make their own gas. In the meantime, he moved that the Chartered Company should be requested to give a more detailed explanation of the tender. Mr. CARR seconded the motion. Mr. GRANGE asked what was to be done if the Chartered Company would not supply them at less than 4/. 7s. 6d.—could they go elsewhere The CHAIRMAN replied that he believed not, for the Chan ered Company's was the only tender. Mr. GRANGER added that, under these circum stances, they had got themselves into a nice mess. (Hear, and laughter.) Some further discussion ensued, in which Mr. Todd, Mr. Jacob Bell, Mr. Chichester, Mr. Traver ner, and others took part, the motion was carried nein. con., and the vestrymen adjourned, after the disposal of some further routine business of no general public importance. Last evening a public meeting of the ratepayers and gas-consumers of Marylebone was held, pur suant t. a requisition addressed to the Ratepayers' Association of No. 6, or Portman Ward, at the Westmoreland Arms, George street, Portman square, "to take into consideration the present combination of gas companies, and to devise the best means to counteract the injurious effects that may arise to the private consumers and parish generally." Mr. GEORGE SALMON was, at nine o'clock, called to the chair. He observed that they had met to consider a subject which as of great importance, not only to the ratepayers and gas-consumers of Marylebone, but to the whole metropolis. (Hear, hear.) Circumstances had transpired with regard to a recent combination amongst the gas companies of the metropolis, which created an apprehension, especially amongst the gas consumers, that they would be the sufferers by this coalition of the gas companies. (Bear, hear.) It was feared that through this combination of the gas companies the ()consumers would suffor, e ither byan inferior quality of their gas, or that there would be an increase of price. (Hear, hear.) They all knew that compe- Vision tended to the public good, and, cia the con trary, that monopoly tended to the public harm. (HearThattheir gashad been the case with th e g as com p anies. , hear.) H o (the chairman) was old enough to remember wh en the gas companies charged for 300 cha o rg r ed fur4oOpetrhcaetn article. He H thane could ciught re member have been . member when the charge was 13s. 6d. per thousand cubic feet. A great noise was made, and it was re duced to 9s. p er th o usand feet. A further noise was made, and they got it down to the present price of 4s. 6d. per thousand. The question was, how long would it remain at that price, as the companies had so divided the metropolis as to give them a perfect monopoly. (Hear, hear.) No two com panies were permitted by the new arrangement to light the same district, and therefore there was no doubt it was intended that the gas consumers should be the victims of this combination. (Hear, hear.) It was a most important question, and he had no doubt that the consumers would deal with it as it ought to be dealt with. Mr. BELTON moved the first resolution, to the effect " That, in consequence of the combination of the gas companies of this parish and the western and north-western districts of the metropolis, it is expedient that energetic measures be taken to coun teract the injurious effects to the private consumers and parish generally, which we anticipate will arise from such combination. He observed that the ostensible ground of this districting by the gas wasc a o p m pe p a a r ni t e h s at th e a i r d e e e s o i r n e o give anyadvautage to the consu mers ; it was merely economy onyecinaonmyis:a, ybaetxtietnddieddntoet to increase their own dividends. As a proof of this, he need only refer to what had recently taken place in that parish. The Equitable Company, in con sequence of this arrangement between the gas com panies, were about to give up the lighting of a dis trict of companies had been applied to, they had refused to light, and they were now left to the mercy of the Chartered Company charged 31. per annum, demanded 47 percent. more than the charge of that company, or 1/. 7s. 6d. per light. This showed that the parochial authorities and the gas consumers should be watchful of their own interests. (Hear.) The contract of the Imperial Company expired next year, and if the authorities intended to take any step to erect their own gas works, or to defend themselves from monopoly, now would be the time to do so. He even understood that so determined were the Imperial Company to h ave a monopoly, that they were about to destroy private labour by taking even the manufacture of gas fittings under themselves. He thought there could be no doubt but that if the parties were to erect their own gas-works that the consumer and the public would be much benefited. He held in his hand a report drawn up 25 years ago by a gas-engi neer of eminence, Mr. Barlow, who stated that gas. works and appliances for lighting Marylebone could be constructed for 60,0001. He (Mr. Belton) had put it down at 100,0901., which, at 5 per cent., would be 5,0001. per annum. It might, by a re demption fund of 10,0001. per annum over twenty years, enable them to repay the principal ; and even for the public lights alone nearly enough would be raised to pay that sum. It had been said gas could be contracted for at ls. 9d. per thousand, and if eve n the parochial authorities charged 3s. 6d. per thousand to the consumers, then they would have a profit of ls. 9d. per thousand feet. (Hear.) Mr. Belton concluded by moving the resolution. Mr. COLE (a member of the vestry) seconded the resolution. Mr. BEAUMONT (of Clapham) urged the propriety Of extending the resolution to bring in the whole metropolis, as the people of South London were equally alive to this important question. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. F. HALLAM moved the second resolution : " That a deputation from this meeting be ap• pointed to wait on the vestry, to take the best means for the establishment of parochial gas-works, to be enabled to supply the public lights and esta blishments of the parish, and the private consumers thereof." He detested combinations, and upon that ground alone he thought the gas consumers were justified in this movement ; at the same time, he thought they had no desire to set themselves in opposition to any particular company. Mr. PENFOLD seconded this resolution, and com plained that the authorities of Marylebone had not when they had the opportunity, given the parish the advantage of gas competition, by admitting the Western and other gas companies. He hoped that, now this coalition had taken place between the gis companies, the local authorities and gas consumers would coalesce also, and, if necessary, apply to the Legislature for assistance. Mr. HODGES entered into an explanation of the circumstances under which competition had been prevented in Marylebone, and observed, that when even they did get the loc Al authorities to take up the case of the private consumers the companies turned round upon them and said, leave us to deal as we please with our own customers. (Hear, hear.) There could be no doubt bet that compe tition had proved a failure, so far as the metropolis was concerned, and, therefore, he for one would not advocate competition by companies. The time had arrived when the local aui horiti• s of the me tropolis and the ratepayers should follow the ex ample of Manchester, in the comtruction of their own gas works and in supplying their own gas. He was told that the municipal authorities of Man chester supplied gas at 4s. per thousand f.et, and had a profit of 20,0001. per annum—(A Voice 37,0001.)—which they applied to public improve ments. (Hear, hear.) If Manchester could do this, why should not Marylebone and other large metropolitan districts do the same ? This he be lieved to be the only course now to be adopted to rid the parish of Marylebone, and the metropolis generally, from the grinding monopoly of these gas companies. (Applause.) If the other parishes would join Marylebone in this move ment, there would be but little doubt of suc cess in Parliament if it was found necessary to go there, although there was no amount of opposition and no ameunt of money spent in corruption which the gas companies would not exercise t o d efeat them. Mr. WRIGHT, of Pimlico, said the consumers of that district were very dissatisfied with their supply of gas, and would cordially join in this movemene The resolution was carried 11,CM. con., and a de putation having been appointed to wait upon the Marylebone Vestry, thanks to the chairman termi nated the proceedings. CONSECRATION OF TIII SCITY CEME- TERY AT ILFORD. Yesterday the ceremony of consecrating the new City of London Cemetery, at Ilford, was performed by the Bishop of London, in the presence of the Lord Mayor, as head of the City Sewers Commis sion, the Aldermen, the Burial Board, Mr. Haywood, the engineer, Mr. Daw, the chief clerk, and a large number of persons who had been admitted to the grounds by tickets. After the ceremony had been gorse through the bishop made a most impressive address tot be audience, and the proceedings terminated. The cemetery has been formed under the direo tion of the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London, who are constituted the Burial Board of the City by the Metropolitan Burials Act. It is s tuated at Little Ilford, in Essex, a distaece of six miles from the City boundary at Aldgaie. The site was formerly a portion of the Earl of Morning ton's Wanstead property. The ground upon which the cemetery is formed rises with gentle slopes from its easkrn and southere extremities towards its north ai rth-eastern bounds ies to a level of about 30 feet above high water line on the river Boding. The soil over the entire area ,s of fine hright gravel, varying in depth from 10 to 18 feet, and it has been perfectly drained to a considerable depth. The total area enclosed nB9 acres, of which 49 are to be consecrated, and 21 reserved for the use of Dissenters ; the rema'ning l9tl are at present unappropriated. The consecrated area is separated from the unconsecrated area by a road and iron posts 2 feet high, placed at distances of about 100 feet apart. The posts are just sufficient to show the divi sional line and no more, and are in no respect cal culated to excite upleasant feelings in either Dis senters or Churchmen. The principal entrance is upon the western side • it is formed by a Lirge sweep of iron railings, divided at intervals by stone buttresses. in the centre is a large archway for the entry of carriages, and upon either side a smaller archway for visitors entering on foot. lin enaliately upon the interior is the office and super intendent's house upon one side, and the por er's lodge upon the other. The whole of these build ings are of stone, of Gothic architecture, and alto gether very handsome in their character. The superintendent's house and office have been so arranged that from his windows he can command a view over almost the entire area of the cemetery. Directly upon entering the gates are the Episco pal and Dissenting chapels. They are 700 feet apart from each other, but both are approached in direct lines from the entrance. The Episcopal chapel stands in a commanding situation in the centre of the ground. It is of pointed gothic, built of stone, and about 60 feet in length by 25 feet in breadth. The Disseni ing chapel is in the same style and material, and is an octagon, about 34 feet across on the inside. Both buildings have open wood roofs, covered externally with blue tiles, and are very handsome structures. In one portion of tho ground, in a deep hollow, are catacombs capable of holding 800 coffins. Over them is a terrace, from which the whole cemetery can he seen with advantage. Some of the cells of these catacombs have already been disposed of, and now that the consecration has taken place, will be immediately occupied. The ground adjoining the catacombs has been laid out with grass slopes from the upper levels. In all the arrangements for the burials the greatest care is taken. Bodies are usually (except ing in the case of private graves) laid but two in a grave, a deep stratum of earth being left between each, and a larger surface area has been allotted than at any cemetery round London. The poorest graves are decently turfed over and neatly kept. The whole, without distinction, have the privilege of service in the chapel. The record books are of a very perfect character. The plan books are three huge volumes, containing many hundreds of sheets in which every grave is drawn to scale, so that the precise situation in which any person has been buried may be identified a century hence. There is scarcely a point connected with sepulture which has not been investigated by the board, and the reports presented to them by their officers are documents containing a large amount of valuable practical information upon the *abject. The works of drawing and enclosing were com menced in June, 1854. With the exception of the catacombs, the works wese completed by Christmas, 1855. The whole has been carried out under the d b e Imo!

The rebellion has claimed another victim, and General Neill, who during his short career in Ben gal en !eared himself to the heart of every European in India has fallen. When the intelligtnee of his death reached Calcutta every one felt as if lie had to=t a personal friend, and his death cast no little gloom upon she intelligence of the relief of Luck now that otherwiwe would have caused universal rejoicing. The public were hardly prepared for the death of General Neill. His career bad been so brilliant, his daring so conspicuous, and his escapes so numerous, that it was believed that he would not only survive to see order once again restored to India, but to receive those honours which his conduct so richly merited, and of which noteven official formalism could deprive him. His great powers of endurance, strength of constitution, and personal appearance—for ho was scarcely past the vigour of manhood—tended to increase this belief in his invincibility, and therefore the intelli gence of his death was the more sudden and found us the more unprepared. We did not judge of Gen. Neill as we do of other men. To him was never imputed vacillation nor infirmity of purpose. From his first coming among us, from his departure for the Upper Provinces to his death at Lucknow, it was felt that an officer had appeared who, if he had been spared, would havi rise" to the highest eminence. Difficulty and danger served but to call out all his abilities and to awake all his energies. And yet with all this vigour of purpose and energy of will General Neill was a true soldier. His power over the men ender his command was im mense, and was equalled only by his care and at tention to their wants. It was his maxim that no man was, emphatically, a soldier, who unnecessarily harassed or exposed the troops under his command. And thus, with but very inadequate means, and opposed to forces more than twice as numerous as his own, Gen. Neill was able to achieve great re sults with comparatively small loss of life on his part. And the daring that he exhibited did not arise from want of thought or that stupidity which does not fear because it does not foresee danger, but was the result of calm calculation. He knew well the nature of the rebels with whom he had to deal ; that they were accustomed to dissimulation, and to the maintenance of a bold front with a cra ven heart. Thus he chose rather to confound them with gallant daring and straightforwardness of purpose than to induce them to assume a specious appearance of amity by diplomacy. He appeared during the time he served in Bengal to be one of the Europeaas, and not one from them. He never used the power which he knew so well how to wield to show how far he was above public opinion and how he could run counter to the wishes of a whole community, merely for the purpose of grati fying his vanity or his own selfish ends. There was nothing of assumption or vanity in Gen. Neill, and the public whom he served so well, and at Allahabad in the burning of Kydgunge, at Cawupore—in that room which still bears witness to the massacre of our countrymen—and at Lucknow, he has so well revenged even at the sacrifice of his own life, will do him his honour. -1 riend of I ndia. EXTRAORDINARY SeINE IN A CHUROIL—On All Saint's-day a most extraordinary c ircumstance in to the took pl a ne at Rhos-y-ruedre church. It was kn o wn nighbourhoud that the Rev. R. W. he Mo2rgBath n lt. Morgan, of T reg y n non, had come to Plas Madoo on Jo hn Edwards, Sunday Mr. Morgan was t he g uest of the Rev. Edwards, M.A. , incumbent of Rhos-y-medre, and, in company with his family, attended public worship in the parish church. It was sacrament Sunday, and the congregation more numerous than usual. The rubric of the church requires that when a clergyman communi cates the consecrated elements should be delivered to him before other communicants. On the Rev. Mr. Morgan presenting himself and kneeling at the table, the con emitted bread was duly administered to him by the incumbent, the Rev. J. Edwards. The admiuistra tion of the cup representing the blood of the Saviour should have followed, but, to the inexpressible amaze ment of the congregation, it was withheld and refused Mr. Morgan by 'the assistant minister, the Rev. D. It. Davies, the stipendiary curate of the district. Mr. Morgan continued to kneel for several minutes at the altar, then rose, and, without speakingn: word, retired to the incumbent's pew. The pai n be beatter distress of the congregation at this scene m ay 'es being conceived than than described. On Mr-. quested by the vicar, in the vestry, itiptahVel communicating a clergyman ()lied, "Because I do not Mr. Morgan, to assign his re ason s for ch t u h ro us h p P o u r i e b E g li e ng c n ly:e n x o d f, from its communion, he r e plied, think Thein k M Rev. r .
