Hs had a Moog objection to the sinecure stipends contem-
plated by the bill, bet they indicated when the real diffi-
culty lay. The fiat had gots forth that intramural line-
aments maw erase, but he did not believe that the object

Mr. MACKINNON, M.P., after complimenting the bon.

years ago, and proposed year atter year afterwards, founded
spun the report of the ematittee of which he was the
chairama. When that report, is which was pointed oat the
magniode of the danger of notions" the present system
of intramural linemen', was first painted to parllament,
he appealed to the then Homo Secretary (Sir J. Graham)
to mks up the mattes, bat that boo. gsatleman found so
many sod inch difficult interests involved, that be altogether
Maimed to have anything to do with it. He (Mr. Mackio-
nos) thea framed a bill which should, as he had hoped,
meet every nameable objection. The principle of
that bill was to prohibit interments ia towns awl
populous places, having more than 6,000 inoabitasta,
and to enable perishes to unite for burying their dead at a
distance- ibis would have carried out the object they all
had in view, without bans( venom to the pnuiple of era.
traliastion. (Cheer.) He believed sash a bill would ban
beta more generally setisfactory thee any other. (Cheers,
tad a voice "ss dean it would.") Bat, as he bad said, he
found it impossible ono to carry that bill through a wooed
reading. W 6611 the presses gennonsat came is, Sir D.
Grey, to his bonus sad credit, sader.ook the duty ea the
part of the "overseen of bringing forward a measure on
the subject, lot he soot found that ne had to eacouater the
mate difficulties which had been 62 smeemial In his (Mr.
Mackianoo's) ease, and be believed ware they to attempt to

(Hear, nut.) If they nadomned all the details of the
pesseat altos,., the principle of which he believed they
were all favourable to—(hair, hear)—it would be lost, and
the government would wash their heads of it altogether.
He would rescind, by imolai an anteadosen to omit throe
wads which inlayed the bill to be " throughout fawn
mentally objectiouable " and to substitute for theca words
declaring some of the details objectionable. (Cheers and
expressions of disapprobatioe.)
Mr. CHARLES COCHRANE rota to second the amend-
ment, but his observations wets so frequently int. reared
that there was great difficulty in catching their purport. We
understood him to say that he trusted the modification In
the resolution which had just Mee proposed would enable
them to obtain the objects which they all had at heart—:he
ebolition of interments is towns sad the establishment of
fixed moderate rates for funerals. (Great uproar and dis-
Oita% with some cheering.) He objected to the granting
of pormazont annuities to tho clergy, and to the prin-
ciple of centra'iletin, but let them not throw away
the viler Pile principle of the bill because they objected
to the detail.. (Great excitement, in the midst of which Mr.
Evans rushed forward to address the meeting, bat the uproar
' was so great that he could not obtain a hearing. Same
minutes were occupied in as energetic pantomime, in which
Mr. Evans, the Chairman, and Mr. Cochrane took parts.)
The CHAIRMAN—Mr. Cochrane ham made a personal
imenaticia. (" No, no." General uproar.)
Mr. COCHRANE disclaimed harlot charged the !earned
gentleman with taking • fee; nothing wee farther from his
thoughy. (Laughter.) He concluded by expressing his
opinion that all the defects of the bill might be remedied La
ecnsei-tee, and cordially seconded the entailment.
MT CONDOR, the ecitor of the Patriot, denied that the
print plea of the bill had been affirmed, because it bad passed
• 'tweed reading; on the contrary, the principle still re-
mained to be dismissed in the House of Commons, and,
what was more—to he understood.

Mr.MACKINNON explaaned that the principle of the bill,
that it was inexpedient that intramural burials should con-
tinue, had been affirmed at the second reading of the bill.
The p Attu to which the last epeaker had referred as prin.
cipler, were seerrly details. (" Hear, hear," and cheer..)
The CHAIRMAN tbea pot the resolution and the
amendment—the former of which wee declared to be car-
ried, a large number of hands, however, being held up in
favour of the amendment.

Mr. JACOB BELL proposed the snood reeolatteo :

Mr. WYLD, M.P., essemied the resolution, and seemly
condemned the whole sebum of the government bill, but
Wenn, d the necessity of putting a stop to intra-mural
interments. He could have preferred the adoption of
the amendment, far he should regard it as a calamity
it the principle of the measure were thrown over. (Hear,
hear) He could se* no reason why the parishes or
mar.ieipalEies should not be left to carry out the extra-
mural system of interments themselves, and la places, such
ea Westminster, !where there was no municipal body, he
would sage's* that each parish should choose delegates on
whoa should di voles the duty.
Mr. HALL supported the resolution.
Mr. HOLLAND roes to propose as an amendment:
" That this meeting most cordially approving—(a storm
of diespprobstion)—of the principle of extra-mural in-
ter., ate, are unwilling to take any step. which may
endanger the passing of the bill, bat they dente that the
°matins of the act be strictly limited to two years—(" oh,"
and laughter)—ia ceder that an opportunity may be given
to transf.r its powers to some municipal authority to be to
the meantime estahlished, to which all matters connected
with the health and well-being of the metropolis as • whole
may be entrusted " (Groans and hisses.)
Dr. OAVIN eapponed the amendment, bat his observa-
nces were eempletely drowsed by the miss and interrup-
tion of the meettesi. _
