TILE 111 ET RO Po LIT A N INTERMENT ACT.—ialat
earning ei public meeting of the inhabitants of St. Giles-in
th. •Fielils. and St. George's, Bloomsbury, was held at the
Music 1141, Store-street, Bedford-square, to take into con-
sideration the best course to be adopted with • view of se-
curing the principle of local self•government. The meeting
em convened by the parochial association in thaserrthe of
its having been stated by Lord John threith sad the Ora-
tell", of the Exchequer, in answer to the deritades Waled
by the Itiehop of London, that the Board of Health was not
in • pos.tion to carry out the Metropolitan Interment Act,
by remain of its being unable to borrow a sufficient 11,011 of
some, vithnot applying to parliament fur further powers.
Mr. W. Eiger, took the chair, and observed, in opening the
proceedings, that although the city of London possessed two
millions of inhabitant., the legislature had not thneght
proper, except in one instance, to bring forward any mea-
sure for the improvement of the condition of the poor while
helot, and fur their decent interment when dead.
No legislative plan had ever been adopted for sup-
plying the metropolis with good water at an economical
rate. and no m1:11/are had been pried for promoting a sup-
ply of cheap gas. He considered that the places called
burial grounds were a disgrace to any civilised community,
and he need only allude to that wretched and deplorable
spot in Russell-street, Drug-lane, as evidence of the fact.
It ,null not be doubted that the intention of the legislature
in paving the Metropolitan Improvement Act to remedy
co., like these was good, but the ideas put forth in that
bill Wirt impracticable. Under such eirearristanees, it was
the bounden duty of all parishes to secure to themselves
the p 'vier of local self-government in sanita=re—so
that they nii4tit be enabled to devise some e means
of carrying nut their object with respect to bards. Al-
though Lord Jahn Russell hail said he could not he It. then
was on reason why others should not take steps is reraly
as evil which the public had long been convinced eagle te
he removed, and it was with this view that the present
meeting had been called. Mr. Moose proposed • resohttlee.
" That the coatin umes el harsh is the already ortrrowled
rave yards of the rethopthie ova a soono of great doom
to the public health; awl the Hari ail Berth, berg us-
ablr to carry into effect the am K prilsamat leraled to

time had arrived what Me elideat mom emir be
adopted. The goveramat woe mew some of the rose-
UCCS of itsown neptigeath and they bed pried a bill to
remedy the evil complained of ; bat their. though it gave
the Board of Health the power be borrow wren to boy up
the Cratetenes and to centralise them, had earth miv ads
quote security for the porehme, and the MISSIMINI hod re-
sensestly failed. The best mums apparel to bolo swore
a large extent of ground, at • distamis of or hes than 12
mile* from London, calculated to bevy the whale et the
inhabitant* of this gnat city, allotting the oedema metiers
to the different pariahs. Mr. J. Rogers eileagelledi the re-
isolutiou, which was supported by messed gemtleems
tereated in sanitary measures, and wee ultimeasly aimed te.
Mr. rooter then entered into a boar statement of the plan
proposed by the Load= Neerepolis and National Mauso-
leum Company, and a resolution was passed to the effect
that the meeting considered the proposed plan highly de-
serving the support of these and all the metropolitan pa-
ri.h. s. After • vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting
separated.
