And now of Abney-park Cemetery. Dr. Sutherland
states that be saw in this ground a grave 17 feet deep, to
hold ..,on adults; one man was baling out the water frees
the bottom, while the other drew it up sad spread it over
the surface- Now, usuaing a coEa for an adult to be ea

seven adults, there would be just Oft. ffin. left 10e the put-
pose of placing earth between each coffin ; thus burying the
Radios within an inch or so of the surface
There are, then, two points which, both for
humanity's and decency's mks, require instant con-
sideration— the facilitating the conveyance of funerals
to the cemeteries, and the decorous management of
the burials themselves. We mat endeavour to save the
poor the extra 'it Me thrown upon them in coolie-
queues of compulsory extra-mural burial, and toppers
them from the sight of the irreverent disposal of
their dead. The latter evil may be remedied by
protests on the part of the parties attending funerals.
The former appears to us to be solely owing to the
want of railway communication not being made gene-
rally applicable for the purpcees of funerals. If every
cemetery were in direct communication with a rail-
way, the expense of female would be marvellously
lessened. This, in fest, appears to be the only way
in which the difficulty can be met. No undertaker
could compete with a railway in providing modes of
transit to a cemetery. No cemetery should in future
be established without showing that its situation is
such as to afford easy and cheap railway communica-
tion. Arrangements might easily be made by which
every objection to the plan might be obviated,
and thus a great scandal prevented and a great
on the poor removed.

It is with satisfied= that we are able to announce
the elevation of Mr. Watson, Q.C., to the judicial
bencb. The appointment is creditable to the Lord
Chancellor, and due to Mr. Watson's position at the
bar. By MG Watson'. elevation a vacancy occurs
in the representation of Hull, which will be probably
filled by Mr. J. Clay or Mr. E. James. No appoint-
ment has yet been me& to the vacant cake of Chief
Justice of the Comm.. Pleas. By the •ttiigqoette and
practice of the peofeesica, the Attorneyeseral for
the time being is understood, almost as a matter of
cause, to have die refusal of the appoint-
ment. In the event of Sir Alexander Cockburn
declining it, then are various rumours as to the
probable disposition of the office. It is thought by
some that the Lord Chancellor will offer it to Sir
Frederic Thesiger ; by others, that Mr. Justice Erie
will be elevated from the position he now occupies
of pulsate judge in the Court of Queen's Bench to the
Chief Jueticeship of the Common Pleas. Either of
them appointments would be popular, and the latter
in every way unexceptionable. Should Sir Alexander
Cockburn alter all elect to take the vacant office, Sir
R. Bothell would be Attorney-General, and the Soli-
citor-Generalship would time become vacant. In that
event the names of Mr. Edwin James, the eminent
Queen's counsel, and of Mr. Collier, the member for
Plymouth, have been mentioned in connexion with
the Solicitor-Generalship.

LONDON, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 4.

AMIDST al the cheers which philanthropists
have effected in the condition of the poor of late yule,

we look in vain for two. The poor man is neither

better lodged during his life nor carried to the grave
with more decency when he is dead. He insults our
delicate susceptibilities by the foulness of his mise-
rable dwelling places, and we drive long streets of
palaces through the spots where he and his brethren
hive, sad mad him tar away from the neighbourhood
of his 'Sweated labour to increase the discomfort and
unhealthiness of quarters already ever-crowded. We
sickened at the loathsome burying grounds appointed

for the poor, where the clergyman buried corpses
wholesale, standing between three or four graves, the
tenants of which were committed to the earth durum
one reading of the service. The clergyman hurried
over this service in order to withdraw u quickly
se possible from the pestilential effluvia, and the
dead were left with scarcely more than the
three handfulla of dirt to cover them, which the
piety of the ancients required should be thrown over
an unburied corpse. We have diminished thin
nuisance, but in so doing have thrown a heavy
weight upon the poor. They have now to carry
their dead as they beet may a long weary way from
their homes to suburban burying-places. Even than
whose means enable them to reach the cemeteries in
mourning coaches feel, the gloom of the mournful
ceremony increased by the additional time required,
but in the caw of the poor this feeling is rendered
eta more bitter. They can seldom afford to pay for
proper conveyance, and the coffins containing the
eremite of their relatives are transported in cabs or
outs, or in other modes even more repugnant to
decency. The neighbourhood of the New-road is
remarkable for exhibitions of this kind. Any polite
spectacle laying claim to solemnity of celebratiee
more wretched and sorrowful it is impossible a'
use. We may search continental towns in vela
to discover sights of the same nature. Owing to the
magnitude of the three parishes of St. Marylebone,
Papers', and Islington, and the number of the inha-
bitants, a large portion of the 61,000 funerals which
take place in London yearly come from this district.
It is emphatically • district for the poor, and it is
impossible to pass through many of the streets which
lead northwards from the New-road and City-road
without meeting • poverty-stricken procession jour-
neying towards one of the northern cemeteries in the

simnisr we have described. Sorrow for their lase,
anxiety for the future, the hardships of which will
be increased by the expenses of the day, and fatigue
and weariness occasioned by the necessity of walking,
are visible on the countenances of most of thesounfor-
Inflates. Society, looking after its own health, and
theirs, has banished the bodies of their dead to a dia.
tance, where decomposition may take place without
producing evil effects, bat has smoothed away
noes of the difficulties which the distance itself
introduces. There are no bills more exorbitant than
undertakers' bills, and the weary family, after eon-
mitting the corpse of a beloved one to the grave, will
Dave to commence the life of to-morrow with a new
burden thrown upon it by the very event which has
perhaps taken away the strong arm which has till
now been all that has stood between it and want.
The scene when the procession has reached the
cemetery is lull of disgusting as well us of sorrowful
features,. While funerals took place in the grave-
yerds of the perishes where the deaths occurred, the
parishioners formed a small public which in many
instances exercised a restraining influence over the
officials, whose carelessness or want of feeling tended
to make them neglectful of the proprieties. The
respectable inhabitants of a parish would not
generally look on quietly and see the burial ground,
in which their forefathers or friends lay, desecrated.
But public opinion acts with little force la a
cemetery. The mourners are generally too sough
occupied to pay much attention to what passe arena
them, and spectators attracted there by eashuNA,
