POBTIOFFICE.

Mr. FORSTER asked what sue the course intended to be
taken by government on the Paebothu question, and whe-
ther (u we un lerstood) it was intended to propose any
modification of the decision to which the house had came on
a former evening ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he would state the inten-
tions of government on Monday next. lie was not prepared
se yet to fix n day foe the aot•idaratioa of the question,
bat he certainly did not mean to propose a reversal of the
recent decision of the house. (Rear, hear.)
In answer to another question, the NOHLI Lotus stated
that the Lord Lieutenancy (Ireland) Ban would be taken ots
Monday evening.

METROPOLITAN INTERMENTS BILL.
The hoes* went into committee oa tide bill.
Classes 24 to 26 inclusive were agreed to.
On Clause 27, contracts toe funerals,
Lord D. STUART rose to oppose the dame, which he
objected to as arbitrarily interfering with the free action of
trade. He trusted that, on considering this qmsetion„ bon.
member woeld discharge all prejudice from their minds
with regard to • particular class of &Mamie, and take it
fairly on its merits. He believed that Mere was a good
deal of exaggeration in the pdblie mind as regarded the
supposed extortitta of undenakers. There wire al
Mends to look .t undertaken' bine, even if the family were
absorbed is grief. The clean provided that the under-
taker should perform • funeral of • curtain clue for •
attain rate of payment, but there wu no provi-
de& for the payment. lie thought that this clause might be
lett out without at all interfering with the principle of the
bill, and therefue he should Erne for its rejection.
Alderman SIDNEY opposed tits clause as inoperative and
I ineffective in its present wording.
Sir G. GREY remembered that the objections against
the clause iron the t wo sides of the house were som*wba• in-

• tig public. (Hear, Hoar.) Is expend his hear*

Mr. WAILLET said That he also fa, aosearrod in what

Bk O. OBIT opposed the menalment, %pen the ground
that it would trunks a monopoly to those -okly who were
throe years in the trade of undertaken.
Mr. WAHLEY said Ire should not put the house to any
Mennelesee, bemuse a &whin would, most probably,
pleat himself and the undertaken is a great minority. But
he hoped the noble lord the rumba for Bath would get up
end sby that, in the making of the entracte, the under-
taken at point engaged urbanities in the metropolis should
have the permeate. (No, no.)
Mill OBEY thought it would be wrong of any member
of the Board of Health to give any each undertaking as that
now solicited. (Hess.)
Mr. NEWDEGATZ thought it very passible that a oys-
ters of contracts might be greedy perverted. Ha suggested
that perishes should make arraegemente for the iaterment
of their own poor, beesase, by that plea, cheapness would
he much better secured than by the proposition contained
in the till. How, in fact, mild cheapness be obtained,
whoa the bill provided that there should be clan 1,2, 3,
and 6 ofigpuseuts, and when it was well known that the
public wo endeavour as Meth a
class
to have their
deceased friends interred wording to ass 1 ?
Mr. COBDEN said it was not very often that he rote to
*adorn any opinion uttered be the Me. member for War-
wickshire (Mr. Newdegete), but he certainly did coincide
with him on the present occseios. Comp/mints had bees
made of the catentatioa of thou who employed undertakers.
, This arose from our being a people of caste. Each caste
" was trying to emulate the caste above than ; and, while
attemptlas to discourage this system, the government were,
° by patting late the preen% clause different d gr es of cute,
encouraging the very thing they deprecated. The clause
contained a list of payments for the interment of muter.
and sera, the very thing which ought to be rendered
obsolete.

Sir B. HALL said that great alarm had been excited
among the tradesmen of Marylebose in consequence of what
they conceited to be the excessively high prim at which an
artisan was to be int-rred, according to the statement re-
gently made by the noble lord the me saber for 13 ith. He wished
to ask the noble lord what would be the whole expense,
treat the time the contracting undertaker entered a Mute to
the time the earth wee thrown upon a body, for the inter-
ment of a mechanic residing in my pert of London?
&ppm a person died in the neighbourhood of St. Pancras,
and was buried in any cemetery the noble lord pleased, what
would be the emit in such a ease ?

Lord ASHLEY said it was impossible for him to
answer this question. lie oould only reply, as ha
had aphid Wore, that the board believed, after having
made minute inquiry, that they would be able to reduce
the present charges by a Tay considerable per centage in-
deed.

---
The asnendenent was then withdrawn.
Oa the moven of Mr. &imam, the four last lines of the
clause were struck out.
Mr. SADLBIR then MOT( d a proviso to the effect that no
contract should be entered into by the board, the expenses
of whieh were to be more than 61.

Sir G. GREY said he did not see the necessity of placing
any reettictios of the kind on the Board of Health.
The proviso was then negatived.
Mr. BRIGHT then Troposed a proviso to the effect that
the Board of Health should be bound to give its sanction to
undertakers other than those who had obtained contracts to
undertake the performsnos of Amoral* at the same rate a.
the contracting undertaken. He much doubted whether
this measure would ever be a popular one, but the adoption
of this proviso would at all event, remove one objection to it.
(Hier.)
Sir G. OBEY said that then wee nothing to prevent
ether undertaken from performing funerals at as low or
lower charm than the eontracton. There was nothing to
prevent their entering into competition with the contractors,
and they would have this advantage, that, knowing the
price of the cur meting undertaken, they might undersell
them. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY did not eft why restrictions
should be imposed on the trade of undertaken =Gni than
upon any other trade. (Hear, hear.) Ho believed the bill
would prove altogether inoperative.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that the question raised by hi.
hon. friend we. a most important one. (Hear, hear.) They
were going to enter into these contracts in a private room in
Whitehall, and he wt, afraid that there would be danger of
partiality. (Hear, hear.)

Lord ASHLEY said that it was the feeling of the board to
distribute the business as widely as possible. (Hear, hear.)
Col THOMPSON did not see why they should not
contract in the present instance as they contracted in all
other tame.
Mr. BRIGHT 'said that his object was to pretreat the
Board of Health from being allowed to hand over to any
particular number of peewee the vast butinen of managing
the burials of city of 2.000,000 of inhabitants.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the effect of the
amendment now proposed would be to do indirectly what
was openly proposed by the motion of the hon. member for
Finsbury, and which he withdrew in deference to the
evident feeling of the committee. (Hear, hear.) If they
were to admit every person to the contract after it was
made, what wou'd be the use of one undertaker bidding
against another. In fact It would be no cornpetiti in at all
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. JACKSON would oppose the amendment on the
ground that it would be extr.mely unjust to deprive a suc-
cessful contractor of the advantage of his contract. (Hear.)
Ater a few words from Mr. Bulgur, the amendment was
negatived without a division.
Sir B. HALL maintained that he was correct in what he
had stated with regard to the amount of (et* in St. John's-
wood burialleround. The fee of a pound which the noble
lord said was demanded for the ground, was demanded from
lodgers, and not from rate•paying parishioners.
On the motion •hat clause 27, as amended, be agreed to,
Lord DUDLEY STUART moved that it be expunged.
They had all tri,d trek hands at amending it, but road left
it nearly as bad as it stood originally. He denied that this was
a poor mates bill, for it would have the effect of violating his
feelings on a most tender point, by compelling him to have a
parish burial.
The committee then divided—
For the clause
Against it
The clause was then agreed to.
On the 28th clause, which provides for the removal of the
bodies to hotpitals, with the consent of relatives—
Sir 0. GREY stated, in answer to a question from Sir W.
Clay, that there was not the slightest intention of giving the
board any compulsory power of entering houses.
The clause was then agreed to.
Clause 29 provides that salaries may be paid to ono mem-
berland the offilen of the Board of Health.
Mr. HUME inquired out of what fund these salaries were
to be paid.
Sir G. GREY said that was regulated by the 42nd clause,
which directed the salaries to be paid out of the fees re-
ceived.__

consistent. The ohject;l the ciaups;as;;t to fee-
dem, but to distribute the contracts as widely as possible
among those who should be willing to contract to conduct
funerals at a certain specified ram. Should the undertakers
refuse sea body to enter into such contrasts, the elegies of
course would be inoperative ; but he had good reasons Pu
believing that such would not be the case.
Mr. WYLD.—Perhaps the Attorney-General would say
whether the clause was permissive er compulsory ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, that it would be
entirely permissive for every person to avail himself of the
contract entered into by the Board of Health, with some
undertaker in hie district, to conduct funerals at a certain
charge, or to employ say other undertaker as he might
think fit.

Mr. SADLEIR wished to know whether it would sot be
open to the relations of a deceased person to order a mo"t ex-
pensive funeral, which they would he wholly unable to
pay for ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was not likely an
undertaker would take such an order under such circum-
stances. It would be better to leave the smatter in the bands
of the Board of Health q d titmice the class of !antral is
the eases of poor persons.
Mr. SADLEIR remarked that there was nothing to
prevent a poor person ordering an expensive funeral, if the
contract was to be cn credit prices; and if, as was Mit
likely, the undertaker gave in his prices for ready money,
the consequence would be in numerous leashes, to prevent
the poor from providing themselves for the funerals of their
relations, and throwing the burden on the parishes.
Mr. BRIGHT thought the incessant attacks which had
been made upon the undertaken by the friends of this hill,
both la and auto( the house, were scarcely justified. The ex-
orbitant nature of undertakers' bills arose from the Coolish
pride—the vanity.of people in ordering expensive funerals. He
saw coming down to the house that day a funeral procession,
oonsining of a hearse, some half-a dozen mourning coaches
covered with velvet trappings and feathers, a man march-
ing in front with a hlrt of platform on his bead, out of
whisk appeared to grow a whole forest of black plumes—all
was needless pimp and foolish pride—there was the 11.111-
blame of woe, perhaps, but none of the reality. What
reason had the person who gave orders for such a funeral
as: that to complain of the exorbitance of undertaken'
charges? 'The sect to which he belonged took a very oil.
knot course. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh.") They never
Pat on mourning when any of their relatives died—they
sever encouraged or permitted—(he did not mean to say
there was any positive law against it, but opinion was
against it)—these sembbuiese of woe, and so far as the under-
takers were concerned, they n neceeded is practising
their extortion upon them. (Cheers and laughter.)
Mr. MACKINNON observed that the hon. member had
merely shown that much vanity was inherent in human
nature, and be himself bad afforded proof that the Quakers
were no more free from it than titbits. (Cheers, and laughter.)
Though their vanity did not extend to funerals there might
be amongst them the vanity of oratory—the vandy which
amassed superior ability, superior virtue, and superior
wisdom to all others. (Lenghter.)
The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY knew so reason
why the hon. member for Manche ter should impute vanity
to thin who endeavoured to show their affection end respect
for their deceased relations and friends. (Hear, hear.) He
might as well impute to vanity (as he had heard it im-
puted) the straight, formal dress by which the sect of which
the hos. gentlemen was a member chose to diatinguith them
selves from the rest of the crommunity. (Much cheering )
Mr. T. BUNCOMBE tithed to ask the noble lord the
member foe Bath what was the reduction he expected to
effect in the price of faunal" ? (Heat, heat.) Fur that was
the real question after all (Cheers.)
Me. BRIGHT wished she to ask whether the Board of
Health intended to restrict the number of andertaken, or
whether • very undertaker might come forward and say that
he wooed furnish the funerals is by district see urdiug to a
certain prescribed scale of fees ?
Lnrd ASHLEY thought the beard would have no power
to restrict the number of mad. rtaksrs, but that they w• old
have 'he power of appointing the number who were
to when, the die,. Te,,re *O, however' nn limitation,
and the tir rk was to be unmated by contract, limas impos-
sible for him tea say what was likely to be the scale o: charge'
fur wait funeral. But, of this he was perfectly certain, from
minute inquirin which had b en iastihated nose the ern-
den upon this subject began, sad the MVO revert smile of
charges h been instituted amongst the sedenaken, that
the 13.).ril o. Health would he able to redoes those enlarges,
and that they would find parties ready to enter into coo-
-1 tracts at 26 or 30 per cent. below the charges now • sowed

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY—Win they be subject to the
control of parliament?
Sir G. GREY replied in the affirmative, and referred to
the 69.. h clause. When the matter was brought Debate the
house, it would be open to soy hon. member to objcot to the
smoust of any salary, and move its redaction.
Mr. BANKER mid the report of the board wee ordered
to be laid before parliament is March; he wasted to know
n hen any member could object to any part of the report.
Sir G. GREY—The day after it is printed. (Laughter. )
Mr. BANRES—But we all know the difilini:ty of finding
those days.
Sir 0. °Riff, in answer to farther quotient, said the
firing of the salaries In the first instance was vested in the
Lords of the Treasury ; at present, it could not be asoer.ained
how many officers and what am mot of salaries might be
necessary.
Mr. T. BUNCOMBE asked whether the newly appoinied
member of the board and the secretary would have sone in
t►at home.

He did not seas to oppose the compensation to the m-
utt incumbents, though be did not believe each payments
were justsflable either by analogy, law, or reasonable prece-
dent. As to analogy, he observed, that when the Reform Bill
was pawed, the proprietors of Old Sarum were not thought
entitled to compensation ; nor were innkeepers or postmasters,
on the establishment of railways; nor agriculturists, on the
repeal of the corn laws. (Hear. bear) He teethes con-
tended that thee* fees were am claimable by law.
Sir B. HALL said the propusiti en be and hon. gentlemen
who thought with him Imbed to place before toe house
wait, that compensation should be given only to the (lamina
fecumbeate, and not to those that came after them. (Hear,
hear.) Now, he wished to put the matter before
the house on this broad principle, whether the pen.
pie of that metropolis, those that were to come after
the present generation, should pay for the interment of their
relatives and friends large sums of money, and to a clam of
gentlemen for doing nothing. (Hear, hear.) At first, in
the former bill, it was intended to give compensation in per
to clergymen, as at present, on an average of five
years ; but it being tbeught that the incomes of clergymen
would hereafter become too large under that regulation, a
clause (the 31st) was introduced, which empowered the com-
missionen of the treasury, or other nflieiel persons, having
the sanction of the Bishop of London, to reduce the incomes
of incumbents lest they might become too great. He was
prepared to show to the house that the incomes which
would be derived by them under the pres. at bill would be
much larger than were c intemplated in the former bill, by
17.5 per cent., on an Increase of the population at the rate of
45 per cent. (Hear, hear.) On a former occasion, he (Sir
B. Hall) asserted that the bill altogether was redolent of
the Bishop of London and Mr. Chadwick; and he had it
from ucquestionable authority, that the amendments now
sought to be introduced by the gnvesnment emanated from
the bishop and metropolitan incumbents, with a view to
maintain and increase their incomes. (Hear, hear)
Ater • few words from Mr. NSWDEGATII and 111 r. Hums

Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to know where they
were to get compensation for the clergy. It could not
come, according to the arguments of one hon. gentleman
who now supported the clergy, from the consolidated fund.
He thought that this clause it it passed would be extremely
unjust and injurious to the charac•er of the clergy. Ile
would therefore support the amendment of the bon.
baronet.

Lord ASHLEY mid that he would soy a few words in
favour of the clergy and in favour of the demand which
they made. In the first place, he woulc state to the house
that when the cholera existed to the fullest extent in this
country, the poorest of the clergy. when called upon to open
the graveyards of their churches, immediately di I so,and did
not look for or receive any comeeniation. He thought
therefore that there should exist a desire to compensate men
of that description. This bill intended to give them some
remuneration for their services in consecrated grounds. At
prism a great part of their tees went from them to dis-
sestets and Roman Catholics.
In mower to Mr Hrue, _ _

The ATTORNEY GENERAL Paid that at present no
fee could be recovered by the common or the canon law by
a clergyman ; hat it could be recovered by the clergyman as
by a person havieg performed services for ►nother.
The committee divided :
For the amendment 94

Aga'not it
Sir B. HALL ob.erved that the noble lord and the hon.
gentlemen had stated that there would be a large reduction
in the income of the clergy. Thee was the incumbent of
tae pariah of St. Pancras, to whom it was propose,l to give a
fee of 6.. 2J., or 175 per cant. added to his income. At pre-
sent he had duties to preorro, and he was compelled to per
form those duties. In that parish there was a population of
118,000, according to the last census. Then supp.tse it was
now 130,000 ; they would go on increasing this yearly, and in
• few yeare it would be doubled and trebled. In Marylebone,
the fee wua only 41. 4d., and now they were giving 45 per
cent. in addition for nothing. Therefore, what he proposed
was to reducv the sum from 6s. 2d. to 4•. 4d.

Sir G. GREY wu undentooi; ;a; that this was not the
only fee received by the clergy, but the average fee had been
6i. 9d. or je. _
_
_ .

Sir B HALL mud that 4s. 41. was the fee received for
about 70 per cent. of those who were buried in Marylebone,
and that 2s. 63. was received for the same proportion of per.
sore buried in St Pancras.

Lord R. GROSVENOR thought that as the clause now
stood a great numb., of incumbents would be losers.
Mr. HUME asked why the house should not have before
the m a list of what was paid in each perish ? He wished to
know whether the ge was made upon the deaths or
the rates, without respect to the number of deaths.
Sir 0. GREY said the average was mule with reference
to the deaths. (Hear. hear.)
Sir W. JOLLIFFE could not offer any opinion as to
whether 64. 21. or 4s. 4(1. was the rust amount; but he
I thought that it was most unjust to make compensation, not
in proportion to present value, but to what it might be when
the population secs doubled.
Mr. BRIGHT said that if the average were struck upon
the whole number of burials it would come to one sum, and,
if made according to the number of parishes without reterence
to the actual number of burial( it would come to an entirely
different sum. The house, he mull ray, was asked to do
what would bring a great amount of odium upon the clergy
of Louden, and likewise on the measure i'self, and taking
both these circumstances into account be th 'tight the go.
v. amount would only be acting a wise part if they postponed
•his clause for the present with a siew to its being Tee msi-
dered. The day of reek Iniug for the church was not far
distant, and would prove a still heavier undertaking, if, in
the interim, the government did not take the side of the
people and of justice instead of allowing themselves to he
brow beaten as he believed they now were by the Bishop of
London. (H.ug, hear.)
After a few words from Mr. NEWDEOATB against, and
Mr. HUME and Kr. WTLD in favour of the amendment,
Bir B. HALL said that bmora he dividet he wished to
know at there wan any objection to postpone the clause.
Sir 0. GREY did not see what was to be gained by post-
ponement. and declined.
Sir B. HALL—Then I withdraw the amendment, and
move that the chairman report progress.
Mr BERNAL—Tne hon. baronet cannot withdraw his
am-admen% without the consent of the committee.
Mr. HUME.—Then, sir, 1 move that you report pro
grime. (A laugh.)
The house divided en this motion, when the numbers

Aldermau SIDNEY said that in the three hurial;rounds

they had imperfect data to go on with, and begged to move
that:the chairman do leave the chair.
After an observation from Mr. Hums,
Lard J. RUSSELL said he would not trouble the house
with any more divisions, but would consent to the chairmen's
reporting progress. However, in order that the bid snioht
not be unnecesurilydelayeii, he should move that the house
meet at twelve on Monday,
Alter a few words from Mr. HOULSURN,
Mr. HUME protested against the meeting of the house at
twelve on Monday. He and many other meu.bers taking
interest in the hilt would be engaged in commit% es.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that on a bill like this on which
members had something to say on every word art every clause
he did not see how they could possibly get on without morn-
ing sittings.
Sir B HALL denied 'that there was any factious opposi-
tion. If government reheard information as to the data on
which the rate of compensation war tounded, thy must not
be surprised if members representing the constituencies who
were about to be taxed in perpetuity gave th.m some little
trouble. With respect to the early sitting, be had been en-
gsgea in the morning at a meeting of his cousiituenta an
the very su•ject, and therefore should certainly give the
suggestion evert oppoeltion in his power.
hlr C. LUSHINO EON was a'sa opposed to the early
sitting on Monday. Ilia sonsti!tionts were leeenlinerly dis-
satisfied with the precipitancy with which the bill was being
hurried through parliameet.

Mr. WYLD asked, if in the event of the machinery

Sir 0 GREY replied in the negative.
The obtuse eat agreed to.
0a clause 30, which gives compensation to incumbents and
others,
Sir 0. (IRBY said that since the bill was first introduced
be had unified two amendments in this Claw,. Represent-
ations had been made to him that if no fee was elbowed en
the burial of those bodies which were interred et the exoense
of the union or parish, with the exception of those cues
where the deceased parties had been members of the church
al Ragland, there would be no minister iw attendano, to
peons the service over them. He therefore proposed to
hunt in this clause, and astain in the 38th claim, the hi!.
hewing words :—" And when snob body is Awned at tie
expense of any union or parish, • stun not exceeding toe
shilling." The only other amendment was in hoe 24, the
4,1 of of which would be to prevent any fee &dog taken in
nip 'et of the removal of • body.
Sir B. HALL said that this clause and the two .ollowing
errs acre new ones; and before they were disetuced by •he
wenunittee he wished to beer the reason o. the slteratiune
