AZZIOMD DESECRATION OP A curiromo
CHURCH AT MALTA.

A short time hack an article in the Weekly
Register contained an account of certain dementia= said to
have bees committed in the church of Bt. Jan. at Malts,
by arats of the British govemmsat. The Main rime
=Wishes the following respecting this affair:
"The facto of this alleged desecration were reported by la
at the time they occurred, and are very simple. Ws now re-
peat them fort= benefit of readers in England who may here
been misled by the unfounded assertions of the Weekly
Regiseer. The collector of land revenue and governomat
property OIL Jahn's Church belongs to government),
seeemling to also depositieu of an ine-witnems, the
magistrate, Dr. Vella, directed Mr. Galin govern-
ment surveyor, to obtain admireon lots Bt, John's
Cemetery, and report if there would be any objection
to converting a 'widow of the said cemetery into a door,
from which ammo might be had to an 'Oman cellar. Mr,
amenspeated by two workmen, went to the spot,
and unable to fans an opinion of the solidity of the floor to
support the intended work, was by the Rev. G. Cardona, the
sacristan, in nerved the cemetery, advised to remove some
flyvaSoass, which was accordiegly done, but to their gran
astonishmeet, and quite uuexpectedly, some human bones
appeared, and immediately the workmen began to the
removed Moon as in the work contemplated them was no
lunation of touching the graves. The Rev. Mr. Oudoria,
it must be said, does not admit having given this advice.
He does Dot, however, deny it, nor does he state that he is
say way raintimed Mr. Wiz* a layman, that by restovng
the Sag-now human remains would be exposed. In the
meanwhile the Archbishop Bishop of Malta received word
of the occurrence. The right rev. prelate hastened to the
spot, loudly reproached the workmen, closed and secured
the door of the cemetery, putting the key in his pocket.
Some two hours afterwards, at the instance of the bishop,
an inhibition of the Civil Court was served on the
collector, who at Gem made a report to the government of
the facto of the case. His Excellency , upon receiving this
report, caused& letter to he addressed to his Grace, anuting
him that no intention en the Fart of the government
existed to execute any work that would involve the dese-
cration of the cemetery, or give say grounds of complaint
whatever. These are the plain facts, out of which so much
poke has been made by the ecclesiastical papers. The in-
digestion maid to have been created thereby amongst the
people of Malta, who hinny noticed the circumstance at all,
is a pure invention, and only exists in the imagination of
the writers."

Tar Nrw Rivics.—Lest week the bed of the
New River being perfectly clear, the works were corn-
meseed for laying down the Immense goo aqueduct intended
for the conveyance of the water from the company's works
in the Green-lanes, Tottenham, to the New River-head,
Clerkenwell. Although the length of pipes required for the
will be much more considerable than if laid down
rinurienie carriage cowl, being laid on the company's pro-
perty, an immense laving will ultimately accrue to the
sharehoklers, as, in cases of leakage or other bury to the
pipes, the expense of breaking up the thoroughfare and re-
pawing being obviated, and the iron aqueduct being inclosed
in an arched subway on the site of the river, the cost pf re-
pair@ will be comparatively trifling. la addition to the new
aqueduct, immense pipes have been laid down by the coin-
ploy. extending from the filtering reservoirs, Stoke Newing-
We through lialra-pond, the Lower-roadi Islington, St.
John's street-ad, to the works near Sadler a Wells, where
the water is further purified previous to being supplied to
tbe_publie.
THE DECAY or TUE STONE AT THE HOCRIIII OT
PARLIAMENT.—The committee to inquire into this subject
is pursuing its duties with great energy, under the super-
inteadenee of Mr. ll* M.P., chairman, Sir Roderick Mar-
chime, Pref.:non Hoffman and Franklin, Moon. Smirk.
and Scott, and the other eminent men appointed on the
committee. They have examined the building with great
care and attention themselves, and since then they have
held three meetings of the committee at Richmond-terrace,
where they have examined all the parties who have expe-
rimented on the building itself. They subsequently called
the original contractor for the building, and the owner of
the quarries whence the stone was supplied, and also Mr.
Smith, a member of the committee, :net the only survivor
of the scientific men who formed the original owimisaimi.
The committee is now engaged, with the assistance of the
very skilful chemists on the committee, in inquiring into
the various processes and suggestions which have reached
them for remedying this lanientible accident, and there is a
strong belief theta proper remedy will be discovered.
