LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 5.

IT would be unreasonable to expect se yet any
permanent organisation of the powers required, and
to be exercised, by the Poor-Law. All parties con-
nected with that law are at present in wrong posi-
tions, the object being to work a change, to do away
with the results of a vicious principle, and redeem
the country from a demoralisation to which former
laws directly led. What one might naturally ex-
pect, would be to find the local authorities and
the class on which poor rates fall, incline
to be rigid to the pow, whilst the government func-
tionary might be supposed to step in as the poor
man's advocate. At prevent, however, the general
state of things is the reverse. The unavoidable inter-
ference with local authority, with the blame cast
upon its errinents, has irritated that influential clam
which wielded it ; end, their object beinF to defeat
the law, they ham not shrunk from invoking hums-
nity and appealing to popularity against its esta-
bli&hrosat. Them, politics have come to Wend
with the visuals. The tones, themselves at
first, their leek organs still, have made the
Poor-Law a intnie horse, always ready to be
monied is ardor to charge and rout the whigi, so
Gib it is Monk for a calm dispassioned, and right-
amidst plea to tell where the question is, or what
is its real tendency end nature.
We are ouresives most hostile to centralisation as a
permanent principle, and think that LI far as local
authority sad edministration can be used with
advantage, it ought always to be preferred. The
system of the country, however, has been one
of local administration, out of which great evils
and abuse have arisen. The contrary. system of
centralisation is quite as liable to perversion, and re-
laxation, and abuse, and require* its remedies, which
are tar more difficult to work. All systems have their
armada and maladies, and that of local authority has
tbb advantage, that it can always be cured by a tem-
perer, employ of central inspection and interference,
whereas central authority, when abused, can with
difilsalty be controlled or remedied.
It is unfortunate that in our time almost all the
great interests intrusted to popular and local care and
supervision have been neglected and misdirected.
And government is called upon to interfere in all, to

aegis amass in the way of central control ; and
time dud appears to be a general oonspiracy of the
fneelkinery apsiem against the old local one of self-
mom %NIL This bee been non with respect to the
pear.imes, with meet to education, with re-
gale he the rage health with respect to the
:Ip= and the tion justice;
gder the nendnation of government are
eprineat Up with 'dimity, and salaries, and intin-
enue,io wet which hitherto the people did, or had
the right to de, t or theowelves-
we must say, t, %at we entertain a profound jealousy
of all these battik, ankeepecially of their permanence.
If all the duties of a great country are subject to
neglect, when smith ved and left to the population,
they are no less liable to abuse, when en-
trusted to man.machin, ery, of which one individual
must act as the , centre-spring. But what-
ever objection there way be to centralisation
and government withal% v, se • permanent agent,
there is no avoiding or oh 'ectim to such as the tem-
porary instrument of reform. , The Romans abhorred
a permanent dictator, but hen no objection to appoint
one to drive a nail. him the same view of dic-
tatorship, whether educational, or sanitary, or Poor-
law ones. We want it to di ive the nail. We
would give it every support so doing. Bat
we look forward to the time when the nail la driven
home, and when the dictator shall 1 * celled upon to
abdicate his functions, except so far as the general
inspection se to enforce union •no provide in-
formation, and secure the self-action of . • mown and
general law, as aeon as the dictatorial power of a
central will be withdrawn.
With respect to the Commission which h " hitherto
administered the Poor-law, it has, we t. been
hardly dealt with. No more difficult task a add have
been assigned to men, with lees efficient ► mane of
performing it. They bad a battle to fight in every
Cliof the kingdom , very few officers to fight sat
them, those obliged to be chosen from hap.hs
est of men of any chum or any fitness; and, n *m-
ower, not linked to the administration wl deli
they served by any certain prospects, . for
all was declared to be temporary. The wood, W
to us is, how the commission waked so web
Of this we are certain, that had one minister, and
he in parliament, undertaken at once to execute the
teak, and answer the daily recriminations which it
excited in sad out of parliament, no man 000ld hays
been found to fill such a situation. The blondes and
the bitterness would have been far greater, and the
Poor-law itself, instead of being, as it is, compara-
tively secure, would have been modified, and twisted,
and jeopardised, in the violence of parliamentary strife,
till notg was left but to sacrifloe it.
The Semmes, of the first encounters in parliament,
and of the first struggles in each locality, being
pealed, a responsible minister will have an easier
task. We must say, however, that we have great
objection to any such permanent minister; nor can
we admit the force of Lard JOHN RUSSELL'S objec-
tion to adjoining such powers to the HMO De-
tainment An officer in that deparent devoted
whirrlaw administration would have sufficed,
-the uniiir-secretary, who presided over
it, might have had a seat in parliament. Bach,
we hops, if not at present, will at least one day
be Imp nature of poor-law supervision by the govern-
ment, the active administration of it being left to
those locally elected authorities most cognisant of the
state of the pow, and best fitted, after a wisely esta-
blished law, to minister to its relief.

IT is to be regretted that the Cemeteries Clauses
Bill, which was to have been committed last night,
does not involve any such alterations in the prac-
tice of interment, to the other consolidation acts
of the session have introduced into the legis-
lation upon their several subject matters. The
bill will certainly facilitate the construction of
cemeteries and diminish the expense of procuring
acts for the purpose. So far its operation
most be wholesome. But it does not aim at dein
more. The abominable nuisance of intermural in-
terment will remain after the act is passed just where
it is now.

There is but one provision in the bill which con-
cerns the position of these receptacles of the dead in
relation to the living. The 10th clause enacts
that no cemetery shall be within the distance
prescribed in the special act, or, where no distance
is so prescribed, within three hundred
of any house of 501. annual value, except with
consent of the owner, lessee, and occupier (11 such
house. But there is nothing said of houses below
this rental. The cemetery may be planted in the very
centre of a dense poor population, living in small
cottages, much more likely to suffer from the neigh-
bourhood of a grave-yard than the comfortable,
well-fed occupant of the 501. a year tenement.
There is no other sanitary provision whatever in
the bill, except those which prohibit burials under
the chapels of cemeteries, or within a certain distance
of their outer walls, and which require thirty inches
of soil over every coffin, which, we may remark by the
way, seems a very insufficient depth to prevent the
escape of noisome and pestilential exhalations.
What we regret, however, is, that this measure is
not accompanied by one for prohibiting, from and after a
certain period, all interment whatever, in town church-
yards. Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S reason for avoiding legis-
lation on this point, that „there are difficulties in the
way," will not, we hope, deter his successor from
grappling with it. Indeed, we rather see in the
" difficulties" so many reasons for taking the work in I
hand. If there were no such difficulties" there
might be some prospect of getting rid of the nuisance
by private and voluntary effort; but as it is, unless
some public and stringent compulsion be employed,
all the sanitary knowledge in the world will not avail
to put a stop to the practice. We acknowledge the
prejudice, or natural desire, call it as you will, which
prompts the wish to slumber under the shadow of the
familiar place of worship. We admit, also, the
in-
convenience and expense which in the largest towns
would attend extramural burials, precisely where
extramural burial is most necessary. We admit,
moreover, that many of our suburban cemeteries
and necropolises are in a taste more worthy of
the tea-garden than the tomb-land. A London Pere-la-
Chaise, with its walks turned into pleasant prome-
nades, and its monuments into advertising stations,
may not suit English tastes. But, conceding all these
strong and telling points to the advocates of things as
they are, we cannot but feel that the present state, not
of metropolitan churchyards only, but of old church-
yards generally throughout the towns of England, is
an outrage to all decent respect for the dead, and a
wanton warfare upon the safety and health of the
living.
A pretty picture may be drawn of the country
grave-yard, with its wicket, and solemn yews, and
green mounds, the tombstones of the old servants of
the manor-house, the grey chursh-tower, half hidden
in its thick ivy, and the stilly caw of the rooks, as
they exchange visits from the hall elms with the
jackdaws in the belfry. But village churchyards we
need not touch : their harvest is garnered slowly, and
the dead may moulder to dust in them. Set
against this pretty picture the grim, gaunt, loathsome-
ness of the London burial-grouud ; even that through
which a comfortable congregation files hebdo-
madally to an orthodox sermon, and where the
curate has a true Anglo-Catholic respect for
outward decency in all the ordinances. The
gram grows in it : rich as the soil is, little more than
decomposed animal matter, it is too often moved for
the growth of docks and nettles, that generally
luxuriate in such places. Treed cautiously when you
leave the path, or your foot may sink into something
clammier and fouler than earth. The sexton is hard-
worked, and cannot afford much depth of soil As it is,
no new tenant is taken in, without there being an eect-
ment over-night. Not many of the inmates of these
narrow beds are allowed to fulfil their destiny of
" dust to dust." There is a thrive m trade in fire-
wood carried on by the grave-diggces wife, and the
marine-store shops round about show unusually large
stocks of coffin-handles and 'scuteheoa-plates. London
grave-diggers make a little earth go a great way.
Grounds capable of accommodating 138 bodies per
acre annually, are made to find what is called burial
for one, two, and 3,000 bodies in the same space,
during the same time. Need we wonder that
ugly cartloads leave the spot at dusk and
early morning, and that children playing on
waste-ground where rubbish is shot, have more than
once, recently, come aghast upon horrid playthings,
humsa bones, and bits of coffins.
Nor is the horror of such pleas their worst fea-
ture. We might look with some patience on that,
sad on the demoralisation betides, of a few grave-
diggers. and the pimpled faces and pothosse halts of
the undertaken' men. But each of these graveyards
is a source of physical as well as moral pestilence and

Ipoises. The dead body, in its decay. give. off death

mentioned which occurred in 1838, in the churchyard
of St. Botolph, Aldgete.
Thomas Oakes, a gravedigger of six month: experience

by the loud screams of a female that he wali lying on kis

the grave ; he reached the bottom of the ladder, attempted
to num the heed of Oakes. appeared to the bystander to be
strask, as if with • cannon ball," and instantly fell dead

The symptoms of this kind of poisoning exactly
resemble those of plague. The gas which is thus
fatal at its source is, of course, proportionably ma.
chimes when breathed in a lees pure form. An
imbeataneous poison in the one case, it is a slow
pima in the other.
The details of its effects ars so loathsome that we
shrink from encumbering our columns with them.
But the horrors of the present system have been
exposed billy, and to the public by Mr. WALKER, ud to
parliamentary committees by abandent witnesses,
both for London and the country. No sanitary reform
will be complete while our churchyards continue to
receive new tenants, without regard to decency or
public health. How long must the country blush for

Trinity at Hull : a sketch taken on the spot ?

and only prevented from falling by being shored up with a

READINESS to follow the example of states which
have obtained a higher grade of civilisation, has
always been esteemed a promising symptom among
less civilised communities. The corporation of Londoa
have at present a fine opportunity of gaining some
credit in this way ; and considering some of their
more recent exhibitions, they will do well to avail
themselves of it.
A practice prevailed till near the close of last
year in Honolulu, the polite capital of his most
civilised Hawaiian Majesty, which could soarcely
have been expected among a people which has
recently made such rapid progress in refinement
Frequent and urgent complaints were made by
the citizens and foreign residents of the danger
to which they were exposed by encounters with
wild cattle driven through the 'beets of the
capital. The nuisance was attributed to the pre-
valent practice of slaughtering the animals in or
near the wharves. In short, it appears that these
wharves were so many little Smithfiulds, and that
the city of Honolulu was, in respect of its sanitary
police, little, if any, better than the City of London.
Luckily for the capital of Oahu there were no
LAURIES among its aldermen; or, if there were, the
Lord Mayor, KEKUANOA, had more sense than to heed
them. The enlightened sins dignitary we have named
accordingly issued a renript, in which he ordains
that " All beef slaughtered en or near any of the
wharves of Honolulu, shall, on proof of the same, be
forfeited, one-fourth to the benefit of the informer, •
and three-fourths to the government, for the suppor
of the police of Honolulu. . • And whoever
shall land wild cattle, and take them through the vil-
lage, witlioat previous iatimaden to the Prefeet of
Police, who shall give directions foe having them led
safely, shall forfeit and pay for the use of government,
in support of the police of Honolulu, five dollars for
each and every animal."
With such inducements—five dollars for every un-
announced ox driven through the streets of the city,
and three-fourths of the beef of every ox killed within
the metropolitan police district—what feats would
not our blue-rested heroes of the police perform in
suppressing the Smithfield nuisance!

We have received the Paris journals of Sunday.
It appears that precautions were taken by the
authonues, on the ocessica of the King's ftte, on Sa-
turday, which have been interpreted as indications of
as apprehension of danger. On Saturday evening,
extra patois surrounded the Chateau. " The go-
vernment bad felt," says Le Constitestioeieel, " mock
