NIETROPOLITAN INTERMENT BILL.

Yesterday a meeting, which was convened to sup-
port the government bill on this subject, to k place at the
IV aittington Club, Strand. The room was densely crowded
from the beginning of the proceedings.
Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, M.P., was in the choir,
and in opening the proceedings of the meeting, said that as
chairman of en essocistion which had long laboured to im-
prove the sanitary condition of the metropolis, he had been
requested to take the chair on the present occasi,n, and he
had much pleasure In doing so, for the subject they were
met to discuss wu interesting not only to all present, but to
every member of the community. (Hear, hear.) That sub-
ject was the decent interment of the dead, or, as the patriarch
Abraham had expressed it, "the burial of their dead out of
their sight." It was fuundj that our system was not
such en example for nations, u we had been fond of hold-
ion out; but that in all nations between Calcutta and
California, England was the only one the; had felled in a
provision for the decent interment of the dead. (Hear.)
She not only failed in making such provision, but had been
so regardless of the necessary precautions, that interests had
been permitted to grow up, and vested rights had been esta-
blished, in perpetuation of a system of evil which &bid any
remedy which human ingenuity could devise. It was a
strange expression, but it was s evertheleas true, that peal-
',nee had come to provide the remedy. lie would not
harrow their feelings, or shock their sense of decency, by a
recital of scenes which would be found described by these
who wished to indulge in such a taste in the evidence given
before commissions and committees of the House of Commons
which had been published. He congratulated the meeting
that, owing to the unwearied exertions of those to whom the
consideration of the subject had been delegated, a partial
remedy had at last been found, by the introduction
of a bill into y aliment for the carrying out
of certain recommendations made by that body. (Cneen.)
To that bill he wished to call the attention of the meeting.
The principle on which the bill was founded was one which
must meet with universal concurrence. (Cheers, hisses,
cries of " ne," and " hear, hear.") Before they said "no"
let them hear what the principle was. (Hear, hear.) He
meant that which had the universal concurrence of the
cruntry—tamely, that the burial of the dead should not be
left to chance arrangements or is, lated exertions, but that
interments should be carried into effect by those who had no
pecuniary interests to serve, (Great cheering, counter-
cheering, and hissing—cries of " Chadwick " and confusion.)
He had stated that the burial of the dead should not be lett
to isolated effort!, and above all, should not be corn led VS
the ban& of those who had yecuniary interests to serve, oui
be conducted entirely by those who were responsible to pub
lie

A:VOlCE—Public opinion is against you.
The CHAIRMAN continued: And be carried on by thou,
who would perform their duties in such a meaner that
every man, woman, and child who chose to inquire could
aue Hain the mode in which the bodies of their !fiends and
relations were to be disposed of. (Loud cheers.) There was
one reason why the present measure should commend itself
to the sympathies of all, namely, that it was for the benefit of
the working elves. (Great cheering, biasing, and uproar.)
He firmly believed that there was implanted in the working
classes tee strongest sentiment of respect for the dead.
It was not intended now to discuss the details of the bill.
Tee object was, that while the danger was imminent
they should unite to put an end to a state of things which
was an outrage on humanity, and, by an overwhelming
majority that evening, show to the government—(loud cries
of " No," and cheers, hisses, and contusion)—that they par-
ticipated in the honourable feeling he had described, and
were anxious to see th,r earliest remedy contrived and car-
ried into effect for • state of things which every man, what-
ever he might think of some of the clauses of Mis bill, must
depLre. He would call on Mr. Mackinnon, an old labourer
in the cause, to move the first resolution.

Mr. MACKINNON, (who wu receind with much
applause), said he believed public opinion was in favour of
the bill, and that it would be carried. (Hear, hear) He
had proposed • similar bill five year. ego, and he believed if
extramural interments had been then established the deaths
by cholera would have been considerably diminished. No
en* could object to the principle of the bill. It was difficult
to frame lay bill which did not militate against some in-
teresta —(cries of "the clergy")—and wherever that was
the case it tried to give them compensation during their
lives only. With respect to another body, a great number
of whom were present—he meant the undertakers
—(" hear, hear, " and laughter) —he would tell
them they would not lose by it, for they must
be employed. (Cries of "Is it so in the bill'?" and
great coniusion.) Did any one imagine the government was
going to become undertakers—(great uproar sad confusion,
cheers and hires)—or to establish • body of undertaken
of their own ? (Cries of, " Yes ! they are.") But there
would be an immense advantage to the poor in preventing
exorbitant charges. (Great cheering.) Some families had
been entirely ruined by such charges. (Hear, hear.) Ought
such a system be continued as would retain a corpse in a
poor person's house for three weeks or a month ? (Hear.
bear. Cries of " Can it be proved ?")
A GENTLEMAN on the platform.—l can prove it.
(Great cheering and cries of, " Be quiet, undertaken.")
Mr. SMITH, surgeon, the gentleman in question, came
forward and said, " I can tell you that a fortnight ago I was
sent for to the house of a poor person where a woman was dl
with a fever, and in a room twelve faa: !gusto I found—
(great confusion, cheers, his-n, and interruption.) Are you
prepared to listen to this fact. I tell you I paned up a nar-
row dirty staircase into • room twelve feet square, in which
there was a tire burning, and in it a four-post bed, in which
was lying a woman in a high fever.
Here the interruption and noise became most tremendous,
and some person rose in the body of the roam and attempted
to address the meeting.
Mr. SMITH, by dint of very powerful vociferation, con-
trived to make himself beard, and continued : " and in that
room lay the dead body of a youth who had died six days
before of small-pox—(hear)—and I was told that it wee not
intended to bury him for another week. He knew such
facts were numerous " (Great cheering, and a great noise,
which can best be described by the word " row," was con-
tinued " fist and furious.")
Mr. SAUNDERS, bookseller, of Charing-cross, attempted
to address the meeting, but despite some very energetic
gesticulation was unable to obtain a hearing.
Mr. G. CRUICKSHANK then cams forward, and en-
deavoured to mollify the persons who were engaged in the
tumult, but was also unsuccessful.
After a considerable time,

•
Mr. MACKINNON was allowed to resume his address,
and said that without going further into details he would say
that as regarded the weltare L f the community, and the
health of the metropolis, it was neomeary that a system of
extramural interments should take plane. corset oheering.l
He was sure Englishmen would ai Agree with that princii:!?,
anal he hoped they would support the resolution, which was
es follows : That in the opinion of this meeting the present
system of burial in the metropolis is prejudicial to health,
incompatible with decency and solemnity, demoralising IS its
tendency, and unnecessarily expensive." (Great cheering,
which continued fer some time, with " One cheer more.")
Mr U. THOMPSON, M.P., seconded the resolution, and
said, than wars prmant, it •append many strenuous
opponents of particular clauses of the bill. (Hear, bear.)
They were entitled to be heard, and he would venture to
say
any one sheouwing. causgentlemaneanecparte asionssof thte billgen-
tlemen, he would be heard. (Hear, hear.) He hoped all mo-
mentary eliallitions would now subside, and that the
discussion go on calmly and reasonably. (Hear, hear.) If
there were any whose interests were in peril they ought to be
heard so that measures might be taken to endeavour to guard
those interests as tar as possible west:gently with the para-
mount importance of the consideration of public health.
(Hog.) Let no one make himself responsible for the break-
ing up of this meeting in • discreditable manner, which
would do more injury to them than could possibly be pro-
duced by fair discussion. ((Cheep.)
Viscount HIiItINGTON, M.P., said that he appeared

a a bordinats position, bat as one who bad during his whole lib

e, the burial groeads of dissenters 20 acres, private

this country the mange was 191 to an sere. Nay, is some
churchyards there were 3,000 to an an, as in St. James's,
Clerkenwell; and there were ten in which 1,000 corpses
were buried in an acre. The effect os the
ground was to change its character ; it became block,
patchy, and gremy--offeasive to the senses and
prejudicial to health. The vaults underneath the churches
were inches deep in rotten bones, as in St. Mary's, Strand ;
wile in St. Mildred's, in the Foolery, it was found impos
ebbe to go into the vaults until they .had been ventilated.
And as to leaving the question of burial-grounds and the
bargaining for funerals to be dealt with by private simula-
tion, that was tat revolting. It was, therefore, thought best
that there should be • body formed, responsible to rain-
meat sod the public, and which might be dissolved if it did
not do its ditty. net was the principle of the bill. As to

Mr. WILD, M.P., amidst great confusion, said he
accepted the challenge of the 'obis lord with regard to
parochial control, and whether intermen's could be m-
inuted to them. He answered that they could. (Hear,
Mar.) As to speculations on burials, were not the govern-
ment about to become speculators themselves. (Hear, and
great cheering, cries of " No," and confusion.) This meet-
ing was a protest against the bill, although no one was
opposed to the principle of extramural interments. (Here
it was intimated that the hon. gentleness was out of order,
and he sat down.)
The CHAIRMAN said the resolution sflirmed not the
bill, but the principle of extramural interment. The second

I. That this committee deeply deplores the infatuation
which led to the eases of the factory workers being en-
treated to Lent Ashley.
2. That it le the Ant duty of this committee to maintain
inviolate the provisions of John Feilden's Ten Hours Act.
3. That any devtation from the limitation, of ten hours
per day, and 66 hour' per week, is a violation of that act.
4. That the government propoeitioe, recommended by
Lord Ashley, to extend the duration of the labours of women
sad yonag perdu, is an swinge anti cruel attempt to de-
prive them of the protection which puliami rat has already
declared them entitled to.
6. That to Nuke this attempt without public notice, and
in answer to au appeal from the women and yeuag persons
to the justice of parliament to enforce its own laws, shows •
sbadeless disregard on the part of the government of the
honour and dignity of parliament.
6. That should any measure be now suffered to pass in-
fringing upon the two limits of 10 hours and 68 hoses such
a backward movement on the part of the leghlatren will be
fatal to Use progress of :because of :Indy and justice not only

7. That this meeting pledges itself to nee every constitu•

Resolutions 11 and 12 thank the people's friends, Outlet,
Stephens, and Samuel leilden, for forswore ing them of this
treachery, and pledging the committee to make it a hustings
question in the event of another election.
13. That this meeting is constrained to express its deli-
berate end emphatic censure of the course which the pre-
sent government has pursued in reference to the now
openly avowed proposition to upset the Ten Hours Act, •
course which hes been characterised throughout by duplicity,
evasion, and a treacherous design ultimately to betray the
cause of the operations by staking their present appeal to
the jostle* and honour of parliament a pretest for inflicting
still further burdens and hardships upon them.
The delegates of the old central short time committee was
held at the Cotton Tree Inn yesterday, and there were de-
legates present from Manchester, Btockport, Bolton, Chor
Icy, Preston, Blackburn, Padibam, Ashtoo, Oldham,
Wigan, Warrington, Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Bradford,
Presto's*, Tyldesley, Droyaden, Astley Bridge, Leigh,
Wonley, Dukiaduld, Barnum Moor, Curd's, and other
places. There was also a letter from Glasgow aeoint to
such amine as the meeting might determine to take. The
delegates present were required to state to the meeting
toe feeling evinced b their constituents, and from these
statements it appeared that in the agpregate there vu a
large majority of factory operatives in favour of accepting
the government proposition. They thought, however, that
an effort should be made to improve the government scheme
by limiting toe hears to 58 instead of 60. The whole of the
delegates who had been in Louisa declared themselves in
favour of the government plan, and Mr. Philip Grant said
he should recommend the government plan unconditionally
as preferable to Lord Ashley's, taking them upon their rela-
tive merits in every respect, though he was villain to try
every means of making it an effective Ten Hours Bill.
Mr. ICUTTAL proposed the first resolution, which was in
favour of Lord Jan annerie amendment, and condemned
the conduct of Lord Ashley.
Mr. DONOVAN seconded the motion, but it was strident
the feeling of the meeting was not with this course.
Mr. GRANT proposed as an amendment that the limita-
tion of the factory day from six in the morning till six in
the evening was • most important feature in factory
Lion, and most desirable to be obtained without delay. That
an effort should then fore be made to engraft upon the go-
vernment plan a clause (or 68 hours per week, but that,
failing in the attempt, no measure should be adopted to
endanger the government proposition, which effects • limits-
ties of the hours of labour from six in the morning till six
in the evening.
After • discussion of nearly four hours, this amendment
was adopted all but unanimously. A circular from the
Feilden party yes distributed in the meeting deprecation
the conduct of Lord Athley, but the &Nitta.' repudiated
any sympathy with its sentiments. Mr. Grant was deputed
to proceed to I: ndon to forward the proposition of Lrnd
John Mennen, but with the understanding expressed in the
resolutions, that he should not, failing success in this course,
oppose the government scheme.
