TEI NBW CITY csmargar.

Yesterday, at a Court of Common Council, a report
from the Commindosers of Sewers relative to the dispute
between the COMMLMOWS and ;MI clergy with regard to
tha new City cemetery, at Ilford, war presented to the court
by Mr. Deputy Obbeird, who said that he trusted it would
resolve serious attention. The cemetery et Ilford had been
laid out in the most satisfactory meaner; the c innisAaiers,
acting as **burial hoard for the City, had these all the
matey allowed them by the smut, and had nearly completed
the work, when obstruction, were thrown in their way
which they could not get over. He believed that had the
Bishop of London net been ill, all difficulties would have
bee. surmounted Wag ago, and the ground would have
bees consecrated. When the "agouti/Mon ant word that
the ground was ready for consecration, it was replied, .• The
title is not good ; we cannot consecrate till you show the
laud to be alsgetber unencumbered." Next it was said,
We cannot consecrate whilst you have a bridle-
reed through the ground." These dificulties baring been
surmounted, the 00111IiirelOnere were told that they must
provide total' the City clergy and churchwarden', and that
they must reenuierate ell the perish clerks and sextons
whose services were no huger required. (Laughter.) The
commission had bad two conferences with the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, who advised that the mat-
ters in difference should be referred to es arbitrator. To
thoir=ow they found that Sir Jobs Patteaos and
ar Dr. the bitrahera whited, reported. that
ander the wee how 'tibia to little the pointein despots
by arbitration, and that the only remedy would be a short
act of parliament making the Burial Act really applicable
teas peerdiar eireameteseee of the City. The commie-
sississe,thesefeee, directed the Itemembrancer to prepare a
sheet bili, bus they were told by Bis 0. Grey that it wee too
late la the ruches to introduce it. Under these circum-
stances, lathOpeut their mosey and laid out the ground,
they felt it their duty to report to the coon the 'iteration in
which they were placed. (Hue, hear.)
The report, appended to which was a mess of voluminous
documents, was then reed. It appeared that the provisions
of the bill which the commissioners had drawn up for the
consideration of Si, George Grey were-1. To amend the
sot 16 and 18 Vie., cep. 86, giving power to the burial board,
when mon thus two parishes become entitled to use one
burial ground, to Is the fees to be paid upon every inter-
ment, subject to the approval of the Home Secretary. 2. To
declare that the boreal board should alone have the power
to appoint the reriziia:aofbaiating 'cloisters, of whatever de-
nomination of re , se well as other requisite oficen
and togrbitheir aria, subject, in the case of the chaplets:
for Han,, the approval of the bishop of the
chosen. To de to
declare that the clergy of every parish from
which the dead hodyshosld be brought for interment should
be entitled teals spa Use burial of every such person, if
buried aoeerdd.g to the rites of the Church of Bog knd , and
that sash fees should be Axed by the burial board, subject
to the approval of the Home Secretary.
The report was ordered to be printed, and taken into con-
sidnation on a future day.

NENT FUND.

A meeting of the society for the support of this
fend was Iteld_yesterday at toe Hanover-square Rooms, the
Marquis of BLANDIPORD I. the chair. Toe report, which
the secretary road, referred to the loss the society had sus-
tained by the bankruptcy of Messrs. Straiten, Paul. and
Bates; it stand that the receipts bad bette,to the 24th of June
last, 3,901.9.., and the expenditure had been 6161 9.. 6d.
A letter from the Duke of Cambridge having beau read, the
report was adopted, on the motion of Mr. Hamilton,
wooded by Colonel Walker. A resolution, approving of
the moiety's One% was moved by General Sir W. F.
Williams, M.P., of Kars, who said it was a very favourable
opportunity for hies to advocate the wets of the wives end
aphelia of his fellow officer*. A most sanguinary war had
just been brought to a favourable oonclusiot.. He did not wish
to appeal to their imaginatiee, but to their hearts. He
would ask them to Imagine a soldier dying either on the field
of b Alla or in the licapital. What were his list thought*?
They were on his wife and family. He had seen in other
nutria what provider was made for the object h. re in
view, though ha did sot by such a corapsricns impugn the
institution of this country. The sovereign here aid rot
hold the purse, as in other eoustries ; but those who did,
the public, should provide for the ',thanes of those
who bad fallen for se in battle. If we did so, it
would be another guarantee for the safety of
our homes in a futon time. That we mast
expect wan sad rumours of wars in the fature, all
eiperiance proved, and we must believe that if we believed
anything. He told the meeting he was no orator, out he
hoped the plain words of a soldier would sink into their
hearts. He concluded by making an appeal to their grati-
tude and paeroaity to relieve the widows and orphans of
hie donned brethren. (The gallant speaker was enthe-
Menially sheered on his appearance and oaring his short
weeh.)—The resolution wee seconded by the Right Hon.
thanks Napier, M.P., and carried unanimuutily.—A vote of
wee than passed to to chairman, and the meeting
separated.
