along ail or seven miles of a cross-country road to
obtain for them that Christian burial which has
been refused in the churchyard of their own pariah.
Now, Sir WILLIAM HLATIVXML'S speech proceeds
throughout upon one gross and utterly false
assumption. There is no need to provide new
burial-grounds for Nonconformist., for the church-
yard is, and always has been, the burial-ground of
all the parishioners by common right. The doctrine
that the churchyard belongs to members of the
Church of England, in any other sense than that
in which all Englishmen are members of that
Church, is novel, and will not be endorsed by
any statesman. Sir Moim.N Pero':, Bill would have
given Dissenters, as such, no right of burial which
they did not possess before. If the churchyard
belongs to the Church, how is it that for genera-
tions Dissenters have been buried there ? Sir
W. HISATFICOTI'II position cannot be maintained in
the faceof history. The burying-grounds are for all,
but the laws of the Church, as they are generally
understood, do not permit the clergy to officiate
at the burial of Christians who are unbaptized.
This inconvenience it was proposed to remedy, not
by calling in question the law of the Church, but by
giving Dissenters leave to supply the lack of the
clergy in the churchyard. This is the simple state
of tho case, and it needs only to be considered
apart from the imaginative details with which Mr.
Hrsaaao and Lord Boltr.kr CECIL surrounded it to
commend itself as one full of injustice. It is not by
carting claims founded on High Church theories
that the true welfare of the Church of England will
be advanced. It is the interest of that Church to
live in peace and friendship with the free Churches
around her. We are sure this is the prevailing dispo-
sition of the great body of the laity and of a very
large proportion of the clergy of the church, and it
would be well if they would find means to obtain a
more efficient representation of their sentimental in
Parliament.

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 25.

Ir is high time that members of the Church
of England capable of looking beyond the petty
disputes of the hour should take into serious con-

sideration the nianner in which the interests of

the Establishment are represented in Parliament.
A few extreme and fanatical politicians, whom

nobody thinks of trusting in any other matter,
have assumed the championship of the Church,
with no other result than of exhibiting it in the re-

cot coun.

cidedly ecclesiastical, and exaggerates the points
which distinguish it from the unendowed religious
communities of the country, its hold on the nation
must be weakened. On the whole, the Noncon-
formists' Burial Bill, the second reading
of which was moved by Sir MORTON
Paw yesterday, was discussed _ with fairness,

and with not more than the jealousy whisk
new measures ordinarily excite. Members immo-
rally appeared disposed to admit the existence of
a state of things requiring a remedy, and only to
be in doubt as to the working of the Bill before

tb.m. Our readers will remember the dream-

stance which led to the preparation of the measure.
In the course of last year the clergyman of a
pariah in Norfolk wee asked to hory the child of
a couple who were Primitive Methodists. The
clergyman could not refuse to permit the burial of
the child, but ho forbade the performance
of any service. Outside the churchyard
an address was given and a prayer
offered, and on returning from the grave
a hymn was sung by the family and their friends.
For this last act the parents of the child were
prosecuted, and we may mention as a specimen of
what is thought decent in corners of the country
to which it is hoped the rays of publicity will not
penetrate, that the magistrates who beard the case
were two clergymen, the patron of the living, sad
the lay impropriator of the tithes of the parish.
These four pretended to convict the poor people for
indecent behaviour in the churchyard, and actually
tined them fourteen shillings. No rational
Churchman can desire that loyal subjects
of the QuarN and virtuous members of so-
ciety should be placed in the alternative of
piecing their children in the ground like doge, or
be liable to be harassed at law if they acoompany
burial with the simplest religious riles. It answers
no public end, and if not necessary it is cruel.
The class of persons who are liable to be denied
Christian burial in a churchyard are Tay nume-
rous, including the entire Society of Friends and
the Baptista. When the late Mr. CIMINZT of
Norwich died, the bell of the cathedral was tolled,
sod the Bishop commemorated his distinguished
virtues in a sermon preached from the pulpit of
the same sacred edifice. Yet Mr. GVIINEY could
not be buried with Christian rites in any church.
yard in the kingdom in consecrated ground ; he
could only be interred on the same terms as the
suicide and the excommunicate. We are not about
to argue that this is a wrong state of the law. Com-
mon sense and right feeling, when not blinded
by party passion, decide the matter in an instant.

ITALY.

This morning copies of papers and correspondence
having reference to the late prorogation of the Legislative
Assembly of the lonian Islands were issued to parliament.
The first despatch is from the Lord High Commissioner
to the Duke of Newcastle, dated the 18th of January, and,
marked confidential, requesting instructions in the event of
the assembly discussing the question of union with Greece.
His grace replies to the effect that the commissioner must
carry forbearance to the utmost limits of his duty, the only
definition of those limits given by his grace being "that any
attempt on the part of the arm* to violate the constitu-
tion, by an appeal to any power except the protesting
sovereign, and any languge or conduct within the area-
bly calculated in your judgment to disturb that state
of public peace and tranquillity which now prevails through-
out the lonian Islands, would 'lineman', compel you to
prorogue it." Hie pace proceeds to point out the entire
freedom possessed by the islands, and their ample liberty
to cultivate the Greek language, literature, and national
and give ao example of good legislation ; these
facts broadly distinguish their condition from the state of
things in Italy to which the Lord High Commissioner had
referred. In succeeding despatches the Lord High Commis-
Eisner reporta the extraordinary proceedings of theme's:llW,
which, in his opinion, were so illegal and unconstitutional al
to lead hint reluctantly to prorogue parliament for six
months.

On the sth of this month the Duke of Newcastle wrote
to the Lord High Commissioner :—" Her Majesty's govern-
ment regret to find that the lonian representatives have not
thought right to address themselves at once to the task of
Ireful legislation, in which the protecting power is ready
end anxious to co-operate with them, and (or which there
is ample scope within the limits of that constitution which
they have themselves accepted, and to which they have
sworn fidelity. They have chosen, however, to depart widely
from those limits, and to engage In disciUsions which tend,
so far as they possess any iroporteases, to overturn those re-
lations between the lesion bleeds sad the protecting
power' as well as between the former sod all neighbouring
nations, which it is the duty of the protecting sovereign
to maintain. While, therefore, her Majesty's govern-
meet hilly adhere to that policy of forbearance
white was presesibed to you in my despatch
of the 19th February, I have thweatiedaction of informing
you that, under the circumstances which Lave arisen, they
approve of the decided course which you have taken. I
am happy to find that perfect tranquillity prevails throsigh-
out the islands, AO that no repressive measures of any kind
are required, and the lonian people continue to enjoy the
blessings of order and freedom, unaffected by the coeduct
of the assembly. I cannot but hope that an ealighteued
public *mien may hereafter exercise greater control over
those who have led that body into its recent proceedings,
so that the lonian parliament may be permitted by its own
members to improve the laws of the state, and may accord
to the lonian people the advantages and the dignity of free
and national legislation."
The remaining despatches simply notify the resumption
of perfect tranquillity throughout the islands. " Every-
thing I can learn," mays the seaumheloaer. "tads to con-
firm me in my opinion teed anise ten ma both necessary

A Paris correspondent writes :—"lndiattions of
summer are coming hot, thick, and fast upon as here in
Paris. Although the wind is fresh the gaslight is constant
and people already go out forgetting to put on their over-
,
coati. The trees in the gardens of the Tuileries sod
the Champs Elysee' are looking green—pale, fresh
green ; there are early summer flowers in the
Sower markets ; people of small themes can afford
to eat asparagus. The drapers' shop windows are
looking more gamily furnished ; the latest modes de Paris
are as prophetic of warm weather as 'Old Meore's Alma-
nac,' when' speaking of mighty future events; sod, finally,
Tallow mays ' there will not be • soul in Paris in • mouth's

half the pleasant signs of this pleasant season of the year.

"A considerable sensation has been excited
hem' says a letter from Rome of the 20th, " by the assay•
aination of • young Belgian. the Count de Lemmiughes, son
aimed the tidiest men in Belgium, and related, as I am
assured, to the Prince de Ligne. This unfortunate young
MI was formerly in the Papal Zoosves, with whom he
served In last year's brief and disastrous campaign. He
lately returued to Rome as bearer of a considerable sum of
mosey mot by his father to the Pope. It was mid, also,
that he bad brought some rifled guns ; bet, laded of this,
I hear that he brought some machinery for rifling, and that
be was in the habit of going frequently to the factory to
wither its appliothicn. He was to have loft by the boat of
Sunday last, fur Civil" but something delayed his demi,
tare, and on Tuesday be met hie death. Returning to his
hotel at half-past 9in the evening, he lost his way, as it is
not difficult to de at night in the confused and tortuous
streets el Rome. While threading the narrow and solitary
ways he elmereed a person doping his steps, and, as he
was making for a lamp to try to Sid out who it was that
followed him, the man ohms up behind him and shot him
through the body with a smell pistol, king so dose thatlihis
oath was much burnt by the powder. He died two days
afterwards, and a funeral myth" was yesterday performed
for him. There are many conjectures as to the motives of
the murderer. The circumstance of his having brought
succours to the anti.ltalisa muse may have induced a
momentary suspicion that the crime bad a political colour-
ing, but there are various reasons for doubting this.l

makes rapid progress. Unicorn crops have already assumed
