Mr. S. O'BRIEN said that the Bill would operate un-_ favourably fee Ireland. Mr. H. GRATTAN also contended that the Bill would injuriously affect the voter in Ireland. Lord STANLEY admitted that his Bill would not allow the party to register so soon as that of the Solicitor - general, general, which made the registries quarterly. 'feat, however, was an inconvenience inseparable from the prin ciple of the measure. But the Bill gave other advantages as eompared with the present law. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Bill would be at tended, according to the admission of the Noble Lord, with one inconvenience which he bad at first seemed disposed to deny. The voter wo uld not be en a bl e d t o register so often as by the present law. The Noble Lord, therefore, subjected the claimant to an inconvenience to which he was not now liable, and on no other grounds whrek he (Lord J. Russell) had heard, except that the English system was the same. Ho did not deny that, and if the Noble Lord had said that he thought the whole of the English system should be adopted in Ireland— ( H ear , bear)—he (Lord J. Russell) should not object to the provision. But while it was proposed to submit the Irish voter to all the hardships of the English system, without extending to him its benefits, he could not admit the justice of the comparison made in a single instance by the Noble Lord. If the English law was to be given to Ireland let it be given entire, and let her enjoy its advan tapes tie well as its more inconvenient provisions. —( Hear. ) Sir E. SUGDEN said that as regarded the right to re gister, the Bill would assimilate the law in England and Ireland. In his judgment, the clause did not inflict any injury on the Irish claimant as compared with his proem position, which was not necessary, and which was not counterbalanced by some good. By the present measure twelve months' possession would entitle the party to vote, and six months would entitle him to register, while twelve months' possession were now necessary to give the same right. C. WOOD . said that it appeared from what bad tallest from the Attorney-General, that the Bill of the Noble Lord would injuriously aff:ct the Irish freeholder. A Wog conventation ensued, which ended with the w.;rds " trx months" being inserted instead of twelve tnths" perrijeus to the 20th July. Lo-d MORPETH then said it might be convenient for ehe Wattle, instead of going on consuming time in minute ameadeceents, to take the main question first es to the an neal or the quarterly registration. With that view he twilbt n-w awl, that the words "previous to the rt.,' tstra tiara" be it:or-fed instead of " previous to 20th July." Tape Nr)b!e. Lard having for some moments eonsuited his sells:taw:lea as to the terms of his amendment, Lord BTA NLEY angrily rose and sad that the Neble Lerd evidently had ao real idea of what they had to pro peee—( Conservative cheers)—he and his colleagues were only desirous as they went on, of hatching such tricks as na'ght occur to them for mangling the measure.--( Hear, bear, and cries of " Oh, ob.') Lord . MORPETH indignantly replied, the Noble Lord has gireo us a happy specimen of the temper-- (Teen.= lous cheers)—with w h ic h he is disposed to every this 1111—(R. peated cheers)—though a discussion ;leis so auspiciously commenced—( Reiterated cheers)_. I sill not candeseered to reply to hint—(Continued aheers)—to the House, tor to the Noble Lord— ( Clacers)--I beg to recal the fact, that.

After some debate, Mr. WA RBUR ros sail, he thought it b , st to have the discussion en this important subject new ; and as the wares " previous to 20.1,1.4." the anntni revi atm, to wthe eas oppesed, begged t 'move the in a Ilion of " previous to the regieteritig" instead, which would contaia the pros nt rir.rt,rly registration. Mr. SL ANE Y spoke for the quarerly revisions as at preesent. Upon the whole, therefore, he Mt bound to vats ogs.inst the annual registration, unless the right of voting was more pl,fi.:ed. Mr. INGHAM said, that if th• re was anything in the lilt of the Noble Lord that t ut a restraint on the honest %o" r,, he was sure that all parties, even the Noble L .rd himsear. w ,ar•d jain in makine such alterations as seal:!

He thoeagl:t if they sarat.lishe i a quartmle st stilt of registration, they would asep-se scut h titans upsv rte-y county and p oich in L'Osof. I . the ebe-noe of any further arguments than t tout iad bPrn ofercia on this subject, he saw no steu-sna tier elle“fitag to the sorm of registration proposed by Lon! opposite ( Lord Stanley), teIGOT alit that the ohjaction he entertained to Our B A t.,1 Use NoWe Lord was, that it was introduced fur /la • pos-ust. of removing : . buses, avid it we n t b e y on d i t . for Ike purpeee cf revision, and it i ro.. videsi a new systorn ref registration. The object of the lii! t..ey last intreduced, and the plan of quarterly re vision, was to iemetly the evils that existed in the present ay4cuieci regietrstien in Ir. land—t caist:ng for tepa anis a a ezneury, sad which the Reform Bill did not rectify. Wr at bad be,n 6 - e ccur , e adopted in Ireland with respect to tlse eranehise ? Early Ira the last century a course of • egistry teas adopted ext:e rre ly deihctive.

Baronet oppos'te introduced his Bit:. Ile Lund cats leg local Court*, and he took a.lvantage of those Courts. le the Noble Lord who inticduced the Reform Act found these Courts in eperation, and he also selects d that turi diction ; and upon what ground he begged to ask, was i,ttat at the end of . ight years they we-re to deprive tic pe o' Ireland of the benefit of that jurisdiction, to re ., ova the facilities th,t had been secured to them, and to an annual s ateea of registration ? There were faci lities, and important facilities, aceornpnying the exere'se tio' that juriseietinn. Some strong irresistible grounds, amounting to absolute n ecess i ty , oug h t to b e shown, before they t o ok from the Joists people that yreen of registration wlich was aecommedat-od to hab;ts, when it pre miered try them the facilities of frequent administration of east branch of the lase, and wl ice provided them with persona to defend their rights. \Vas it alleged that there • wee* abuses in, cr objeciene to, the Inc de cf quarterly registration ? None had teen pointed out. By his (Mr. I , egot'a) B 11, he abided by the law as it stood, re taining what +Arts not mishievous, removing what was. What ho proposed was net, as the Noble Lord did, , to rieep away the en6ra jurisdiction, in order to sub sthnee a perfectly new one, but simply to seperadd one jurttd.ution, leering the other as it stood. Let the House consider that the existing tribunals were aeccrnmodated to the neceaities and conveniences of the people. But by the Noble Lord's Bill those tribunate would be destroyed, and a teibureal appointed to sit it the worst period eel the year, namely, October, s time at which the peaeaetry were most eceunhol in their own pursuits, an-I by the absence of a wi ness cue imeg from his occupation, a frivolous objection to akte might be successful.—([leer, hear.) He called spas the Iluitze not to interfere with the bahitusl course of proceding in Ireland, and not to destroy their institu tiers, where acconsmodat..d to thelr habits, in order to erect a new sot cf tribunals that. would coly create ernbarws menu, texatien„ aid expense. Mr. Sorgeaum; JACKSON agreed that alterations ought sot to be made without absolute necessity, and he wisi:ed that th. doctrine Lad been acted on in later thews mere generally that; had been done by the Go veretnent.—( Hear.) The Hon. and Learned , Irma had stated that by Isis 8.11 he proposed to leave the law as it eta'', that was that there should be four quarterly registrations is each year, and that other provi. ions . relating to registration should remain the law of the land. Lb contended that the law as it at present stood in Ire land did not afford protection against the fraudulent re gistry of persons. At present the lew only allowed ten days for hreestigatirig the case of parties evho had fraud_ lastly got upon the register, aed ho denied that that was B uire'kitt time.

It , na , most desirable that the clause under discussion should be ~ tptteld, and time attempt cf his Hen. and Learned Friend to cheetah his Bill with the existing system of registration was utter ly impracticable.

In fact, the Assistant-Barrister- could not register him without it. What further could be necessary ? The notice in such a case was surely adequate. A claim ant must give due notice of his intention to regis ter. He must post such notice on all the places esta blished by the police for the posting of notices, and also advertise in all the newspapers of the county, and the in vestigation which followed was complete, as the voter had to encounter every legal difficulty of form. For instance, if he happened to have three names, and to write one of them with an initial, he had to serve two or three sets of notices—one with all the names written at length, another with the names as he usually signed them, and another perhaps with the initials; and then he had to undergo the most rigid cross-examination as to all these particulars. The Hon. Gentleman said that the registration of the City of Dublin continued through half the year, but if the Bill of the Noble Lord passed, it would continue through three-fourths of the year, so that three-fourths of the year would be taken up with registering, and one-fourth only would be left for voting. Did not that demonstrate the utter impracticability of the Noble Lord's Bill. The enjoyed of registering at every Quarter . Session, bad been in Ireland before the Union, by virtue of an Act of the Irish Parliament.—( Hear, hear.) The claimant gave in his claim to the Magistrate at Quarter-Sessien. the Magistrate whose office was merely ministerial, banded the affidavit to the Clerk of the Peace, and the voter was registered. In this state, natters remained up to the year 1829. The Emancipation Bill raised the fran chise to 101., but continued the right of registration. By the Reform Bill also, the right of registrati on was con tinued. And if he were present he would ask the Noble Lord, the Member for Northumberland, who pretended to stand upon the Reform Bill, if it was hisintention to deprive the people of Ireland of those rights which had been guaranteed to them by the Reform Bill. It was a great benefit to be permitted to register every Session, as the voters who registered could shift from Session to Session, as necessity required. If he were obliged to make an atrdavit at the Quarter Sessions he would find his regular legal adviser, and it was no small advantage to the farmer in Ireland to be able to register at the Quarter Sessions.—( Hear, hear. ) All legal business in which he had an interest was transacted there—actions for debt, actions or trespass—cases of assault all were tried at the Quarter Sessions. Every man was sure to find his, confidential legal advisci attend. ing them, and did they mean to take from the Irish voter the advantage of employing his own confidential attorney, to force him to produce his lease, in which, perchance. his landlord might discover some blot, without giving him that opportunity of consulting his legal adviser as to the pro priety of urging his claim under such circumstances ? If they trade the registration annual they would deprive him cf the benefit of it. The Noble Lord-said he wanted a full investigation. Now woul i he not secure a much fuller investigation by this st stem cf quarterly registration, when perhaps only 40 or 50 claims would have to to be iavestigated at one time, than be an annual registration, when perhaps three or four thousand might have to be investigated?—(Hear, bear, hear.) Uundcr this system of registration, all who were on the list would have to come into the town on the fir t day and remain the en. tire time. The greatest nurubtr that had ever been regis tered.in Ireland at one time was 40, and if there were 4 000 to be registered some of the persons would have to remain Kt town fur 40 days, or run the Fisk, if their backs were turned for a moment, of having their names called aod struck out of the registry. Quarterly registration was a great convenience to the people, because a farmer might choose the Session, after he had paid his rent, and when he was not in his landlord's power; when hie landlord could not say to him, " If you go and register, I will have every beast offyour farm, and in the pound to- morrow morning." —( Cheers.) There was no such thing as a regular rent day in Ireland. Men acre sent out at different times-to collect the rents, and no doubt landlords would be indulgent to their tenantry, as the registration sessions came on, in order to be ready to pounce upon them if they dared to reels. er. The fuliest i nves ti ga ti on too k p l ace before thes'Assistant-Barrii-ter. Every Session there was a regular staff of Conservative lawyere to oppose the re _ eistration cf voters, and if this Bill passed is would make it impossible for the voter properly to register, as it would be giving the wealthy the power of keee ing tee voter eff the register, by putting him to as cncrmous expense. In fact, it w ou ld be impossibl e f o r the indeperoleet freettolderne reerieter at ail—he must at tach himself to some party.__( Doe rs.) They talked of agitation bsing coot tmed throughout the yeer, but did they not think tit it it bias iefiaitely more danger-nue to coadense that agitation at cue period ?.—(Cheers.) It might thsu explode, in a menner disagreet.ble to ever; body. That annual Session would, in fact, be totenitcd with all the brat sad agitation of a contested election. Ile con thssed that at the intreduetien of the Raft:ten Bill, h e h a d beer, in favour of an annual registration, but the Neble Lord had opposed him, and the experii nec in England had shown :ha; at that time the Noble Lord was right, and he was w otig. fle, therefore, with the experience of 'he annual system in Ergiand, nitod oppose its introduction into Ireland —( Cho era.) • Mr. Sergeent JACK SON said the case had been ar gue i before the Judges by the Attorne.-General for Ire land wet Mr. S.rgeant Green on the same side, cod Mr. Thom- s Smith and Mr. Serele en the other ; there fore it could not be sl i d that the Judges had decided without hearing arguments, and he thought the Hon. and Learned Member was the last man in that House who should ha. e .aid there was no such thing as a tent day in Irelaud._ ( Leud laughter and cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL was most happy to see the Learned Sergeant facetious ; it wa s t h e ti- st t i me i.e bait ever known tim to be so.—(Ciirers and laughter ) He bdigsrd that one point of a case bad been argued before the Judges, but, in many instances, they bad decided eithout listening to argument, and in one case they had sent for written arguments. Mr. SHIE L slid, that so far from the opinion of the Judges being cons lusiv,- and settling the law, two of then: bad difthrt d in opinion from the othrrs, and had refused to be guided by the decision of the majority. This Bill did not profese to settle the law, but left it to the Judges, so that the tight of registration would &Tend upon the mere casualty of the Judge's tour, end Baron Ri Lards could register a man in Cork upon the very qualification Chien Baron Pent father had decided to be insuffirient in Wa terford. Nay, more, by this Bill a person who was re jected at a Session ,night claim to be' registered at the next en-the same qualification, so that the man re jecm4 by Ileron Penelather in 1841 might, in the same county, on the same Tialificetion, be register: d by Baron Richards le 1842. Such a system would be most monstrous. He called upon them to cure that evil. The Noble Lord wculd creleavour by a side wind to do that itelirectly which he shrunk from cal:ieg upon the Legislature to do. Accenting to the Noble Lord's system, a men who was rejected eclat I not have his appeal tried for six months; and In the tneautime a dissolution end general election might take place, and he would he deptived of his right of voting. He comp'ained also of the advantage which the Bill gave to 50/. f,ers. holders and enrgymen elm could reg ister their Not es f our times a year as at present, whil e t h e 101. freeholder had only one oppt rtuoity of doing so. He thought the system of annual registration was most iniquitous, and he should therefore give the ciau e his decided opposition. Lord STANLEY said it seemed to him that the deci sion of the poet of aenuel en quarterly reg istration bias new about to tak e pl ace; ari d h e would tepee: that opt n that decision depended A bether he would to-tweed thither with the measure It was unnecessary fur him to go at any length into the arguments which had been used against his prep :sed arrangement ; but he would observe that the whole frame-wo:k and machinery of the Bill was so wound up with the plan of enuual registration that if it was negatived he would not take up the time of the Committee by proeceling further with the Bill.—( Hear.) Ile would remind the Noble Lord that in the Bills of 1835, 1835, and 1838, witch had been brought in under the auspices of Mr. Perrin, Mr. O'Loughlin, and Mr. Woulfe, the system of annual registrations had been recog nised, and he would be glad to know when the Noble Lord had changed les r pinion on this point.—(llear, hear.) With respect to what the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin had said of the minority of the Irish judges riot being bound by the decision of the majority—if any coun try existed in which such a system obtained three could be no certainty of any law being carried into effect.— (Hear, hear.) Le: them frame their laws in any way they pleased there would 'ee sure to be some difference of opinion, and conflicting decisions would be the inevitable result. There was another point on which be wished to say a word—namely, with rsspret to 501. freeholders and clergymen, who under the law as it at present stood could tender their affidavits at any •f the quarterly registering sessions. It was alleged that this Bill would place them in a better position, but be deemed that such would not be the case, and if Hon. Gentlemen looked at the 41st clause of the Bill they would find that these parties were placed on exactly the same footin_g with the 101. free holders he all the subsequent proceedings after the ten dering of the effidavits. Ile bad heard Hon. Members on the other side say " give us some rest in Ireland—do not keep us in a system of continual agitation," and yet when be proposed to carry out the principle of introducing the system of annual registration objections were started to it on every side. It was surely of material importance when so many difficulties were thrown in the way of revision, that care should be taken to make the original registration as correct as possible. He did not wish to throw difficulties in the way of eloimauts. But when the claimant having been once admitted would with difficulty ever be remover', the obstructions to bone fide objections ought not to be multiplied.—( Hear, hear.) The labour aad trouble which the Bill of the Solicitor-General would give rise to, in the way of objectore, was such as render objection ie the majority of cases impracticable. Tile course would be that persons would go on as they did now, making elaims without foundation ; but abstaining from pressing the claim, if the objector was present at the Quarter Ses sien, tail renewing it from Session to Session until the objectorr was weari e d rut, i n w hi c h case t h e vote would be ent eredupon th e reeistry without any chance o f remov i ng ine life o(the vote r, hnwever invalid the qualifi "'i?n.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1840 aim before the House.—( Hear. hear.) In course of the discussion upon the Bill of the Noble Lord, harsh and in jurious expressions had certainly b applied. But he assured the Noble Lord that he (rd Morpeth) could not have intended to apply those expressions to the Noble Lord himself, or to his motives.--( Hear, hear.) Cer tiinly no such expressions could have been applied by him to the clause now under consideration-4 Hear)—because, as the Noble Lord had reminded him, the Bills introduced by ,the Government previous to the present year con tained clauses for altering the registration from quarterly to annual.--(Tory cheers.) Now, upon a fair and mature consideration of the whole subject of the registration in Ireland, it bad seemed to the Government that whilst every case of fraud ought to be guarded against, the re gistration ought, in the case of every bona fide claim, to be made as easy as possible.—( Hear, hear.) Ever since the establishment of a formal 'registration of votes in Ireland—that is, for upwards of a cen tury—the modo if quarterly registration had been adopted ; and when, in passing the Irish Reform Act, Lord Althorp was urged to apply the principles of a :nual registration which had been adapted in England, he re plied, that it was better not to disturb the mode which had . - been practised in Ireland so long, until it was seen how the English mode worked.—(Hear, hear.) But were Gentlemen so enamoured with the 'working of the annual revision in England, that they would have it introdtee I in its present state into Ireland ?—(Cheers.) The objection of the Noble Lord to the mixing up of the business of regis tration with the civil and criminal business of the Quarter Sessions, would apply with still more force to mixing it up 'with the business of the Assises.—( Hear, hear.) His Hon. Friend the Member for Bridport complained of the too frequent registration in England, and the Noble Lord opposite caught up the remark. But he (Lord M.) greatly misunderstood the opinions of his Hon. Friend. if his objection'was not rather to the too frequent revision, than to the frequency of the registration.—(Hear, hear.) He contended, that in common fairness to the Irish voter, they ought nt. t to withdraw from him those facilities he bad of registering four times a year. Then the Com mittee would remember that the Irish farmer and rural occupier, and persons generally claiming the franchise. were in the constant habit of having resort to the Quarter Sessions. In fact, it was the Court of the farmer, yeomanry, peasantry, and poor landlord. But the Bill of the Noble Lord would expose the claimant to great ex pense, great inconvenience, and great annoyance. It had been said the system of quarterly registration pro. .tuced greater excitement in the country. He very much doubted that. If the registration was only once a year, there would be a greater concourse of persons assembled greater efforts would be made by the opposit., parties, greater attention would be cre dcd to this subject, and cora respondine excitement would be produced --( Hear, Lae) Tne Noble Lord had stated that his Bill would give the voter time to repose. He thought it would have car, ctly the contrary effect, and that it was the Bill of his lion. an] Learned Friend that solght to establish the repose of those who bad already had their claims and their rights to vote solemnly investigated.--( Hear, hear.) Ti e repose of the claimant w as consulted more by telling him that he might go up at any period of the year that was convenient to htm, instead of pinning him to a particular period. Ile ( Lord Murpeth) obj,eted to the clause, even with the amendments which the Noble Lord had introduced, and he hoped the Committee would consent to preserve that system which the voter now enjoyed, and would not sanc tion the series of innovations proposed by t h e N o bl e Lord Strangerswere ti t er ordered to withdraw, and the 11Juae divided, when the numbers were— For the clause.

S.TANLEY rose amid loud cor fusion, and cricF of " Chair. ckait," mid said he hoped the House would allow Idol to propose an amendment to the next clause, similar to the last. Mr. HUME raid that the proposed amenement would involve the payment of tax 2s, and he end others were pre pared to give .t their m. , tt strenuous eppAition.

Neither trouble nor expense appears to have been allowed by the managers to stand in the way of that justice which so fine a iroduct ion demands. Accordingly the band, augmented by many valuable professors, gave to each point i ts proper force and emphasis with the most powerful effect. To the musician the concluding fugue will be a great treat. Taki ng f or his theme nor national anthem, the mighty master has en., oven with it subjects worthy to stand bniile it, and with all the grandeur of highest art, has maintained a plicity of design amidst the most minute and elaborate detiila. Alany of the p arts were loudly eh , .ered. The fireworks, the praelight,.and Mount Ueda, exhibited as usual their wonderful effects to a very numerous and respectable company. We are glad to learn that this intereslity , place of arnusem..nt is con ct;:cted in such a way that the old frequenters of Vauxhall have no reason to regret its extinction. Lord li.wi:smore is daily rnOndin;! and if the weather continues Sae his Lordship will be able to drive out in a few days. - •«-•«.. 4 , 8 !8 L ...... Ellin. and (dlr,s. Un.

George Charles airl of Lucan, has been chosen as a Re presentative Peer for Ireland is the room of the late Earl of John Bates, a porter in Farringdon-market, was brought up on a warrant, charged with having, on the 25th instant, unlawfully and cruelly assaulted and beat Eliz Ahab his daughter. Mr. Kirby, relieving officer of the Strand Union, attended to watch the case. Elizabeth Bate stated that she was 16 years old, and she lived with her father and stepmother, at 27, Ship-yard, Temple-bar. On Thursday morning, having procured some work to do for a person in the neigh bourhood, her father would not allow her to attend to it, and to prevent her he kicked her, saying that she should not leave the house, to which she made no an swer. He then tied her up to prevent her going out, and went away. He tied her to the bed in a two pair room, in the manner she was found, and she remained in ti.at state until Mr. Kirby arrived. Her father had done so several times on former occasions. Her stvp molher was not at home at the time, and her mother died when she was a baby. He used to put the rope round her waist. The defendant said that his daughter was very light fln.4ered, aed to prevent her getting him into trouble, he was obliged to make her st iv at home, hut he never neglected to give her proper sictuals. In answer to the defendant, th girl said that she had been repeatedly flogged, but nut on the day she was found in the state described. Mary Anne Abrahams, who resides in the opposite house, proved that she had seen her tied up, and often herd her scream from the ill treatment she received. Witness resided about twelve months in the yard, and she knewthat the usage towards the complainant was dreadfully severe. She saw the girl on Thursday last sitting by the bedside tied up, as she looked in at the window over the door, suspecting that the parents had been ill treating her. On the defendant going after his dinner, the girl cried, and witness immediately went to Mr. Kirby, for she was afraid they would some time or other kill her. The girl's clothes were off at the time, and three cold potatoes, with a pint of cold water, were laid beside her. When she told Mr. Kirby of the circumstance, he instantly came and broke open the door, and the girl might have been three hours in the state in which she saw her. In answer to Mr. Kirby, witness sail that she knew the girl wa3 in the habit of being ttnpl.oyed by persons in the nei;hbourhood, hut she never knew her to be guilty of dis'ionesty, or any charge of thcrt being bronght against her. Mr. Kirby, bciag sworn, said, that about two o'clock on Thursday last, the last witness came to him, andin in consequen ce c f t h e i n f ormat i on s h e h a d given him, he looked through the window over the door where the girl was confined, and, saw her sitting on a box. He desired that she would come to him, but she said she could not. The upper part of her person was entirely naked. He then procured a constable, .and having obtained permission from Mr. Twyford, he returned and broke open the door, when he found that she was tied to the bed-sacking with the rope produced, which was fastened by a sailor's knot, so as to prevent her loosening it, and the constable not being able to untie it, he cut it with a knife, On leaving the room, he brought away the cat-o'-nine-tails produced, which lay on a table. On having the girl examined, there did not appear any marks of violence upon her person, but she was loaded with the itch ; and after taking her to the Court, she was conveyed to the workhouse of the Strand Union.

A gentleman named Jenkins applied to the Lord Mayor, for his Lordship's interference to procure the removal of the bodies interred in part of the burial ground of the parish of St. Bennet Fink, which it might be necessary to disturb, in consequence of the re-building of the Royal Exchange, to some cemetery or other place, where they would not be likely 'to be any more disturbed. He made the application, he said, because the present orders for the removal of the bodies merely authorised the depositin g of such as might be taken up in another part of the burial-ground, from which he was convinced it would, in a few years hence, be considered necessary to remove them, in accordance with the increasing notions as to civic improvements. But he felt a particular interest in the matter, because he had buried one of his own children, within the last two years, in a part of the ground which he appre hended would be immediately disturbed. The LORD MAYOR said he was sure that the Act of Parliament directed that the removal of the bodies should be effected with the utmost decorum, and pro priety would be strictly attended to. He bad no reason to suppose that there would be any subsequent disturb ance of the burial-ground. He at the same time ex pressed a fervent wish that families would, instead of bury ing their relationsin the crowded church-yards of the City, perform the last ceremonies in some of the elegant ceme teries which had been lately consecrated, and with which no Building Act could possibly interfere. The necessity for disturbing the dead on account of the great improvements undertaken for the benefit of the living, ought, he should have thought, to have operated long since against the practice of interring in the midst of the crowded streets of London. Mr. Jenkins declared that he had no doubt whatever of the decency and propriety observed in removing the bodies, eighteen or twenty of which, he believed, had been already taken up in the part to be included in the edifice of the Royal Exchange, and deposited in a hole at a short distance from the spot ; but he felt, in common with several other persons who had buried re lations in the ground, that as removal:was indispensible, it ought to take place but once, and that at the ex pense of the authorities, who were likely to derive ad vantage from the change. By the Act of Parliament with respect to Bartholomew burying-ground, the Go vernor and Coinpany of the Bank of England were authorised to remove bodies to other burial-places upon payment of expenses not exceeding 101. in each instance ; anti if that course were adopted, the parishioners could do all that was necessary without iping subjected to the annoyances which what he com plained of was calculated to excite.: The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Hobler, the chief clerk, whether, in a case of the kind, the Chief Magis trate could interfere ? Mr. Hobler observed that the Royal Exchange Com mittee, if they thought it might be necessary to disturb the ground in which the bodies were at present being deposited on any future occasion, would, he was per suaded, take particular care that separate burial ground should be provided, subject to no revolting or dis.igree ible contingencies. The Lord Mayor could not inter fe.ru in such a case in any other way than by suggesting the propriety of guarding against such an occurrence as that to which the a pplicant alluded. Mr. Jenkins said his great object in making the ap plication was to induce the Chief Magistrate to ascer tain whether any other removal vas likely to take place, and to remonstrate against it if it should be in con templation. 111 S LORDSHIP said that he should make inquiry ; but be felt quite satisfied that everything would be done in such a warner as would not be likely to wound the 'edings of these whose relations or friend's were buried n the ground of S•. Bennet Fink ; and he again urged th propriety of abandoning the prejudice in favour ef to vu bur als, not merely because desecration was likely to take j lace in the city, but because the health of the in'lAbitatts would be endangered by the existing practice.
