PROVINCIAL CEMETERIES - INTEN-
TIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT.

Correspondence between H. J. Davie, Esq., Mayor of
Newport, and the General Board of Health:—

"TO THE GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

" Newport, Monmouthshire, Oct. 11, 1852.
" Gentlemen,—l take the liberty of calling your at-
tention to the following. In this town there is but one
burial-ground connected with the Church of England,
which is full to overflowing, so much so that the remains
of the dead are often disturbed before they are wholly
decomposed. In Mr. Clarke's report to your honourable
board, dated 24th October, 1849, pages 35, 36, Sac., your
attention was called to this matter, as also to the crowded
state of several burial-grounds attached to dissenting
places of worship; the local board of health soon after
sought a convenient spot for a cemetry, arranged with
the owner for the purchase, and applied to you for ad-
vice as to the management and regulation thereof, when
you informed them that the law officers of the Crown
bad advised that the Health of Towns Act did not give
local boards sufficient powers to purchase and make
cemeteries, but you hoped that a Bill would be brought
into Parliament for the purpose. Last session passed
away, and no Act to meet the difficulty was passed; the
consequence is, that the local board has not yet com-
pleted the purchase of the ground. The churchyard,
which in 1849 was so overcrowded that Mr. Clarke re-
ported " the sooner it is closed the better," is still
the only consecrated ground for burial whilst
the population is increaskg most rapidly. In
1851, it was 7,000 ; in 1841, 13,000, and in 1851,
nearly 20,000. The locomotive department of the
South Wales Railway is to be at Newport, which alone
will probably add 1,000 souls' to us next year. And yet
with all this, and the rapid approach of the cholera, we
know not what to do for a burial-place. Tne local
board of health is not only ready, but anxious to pro-
vide one. Fourteen acres of land in a most eligible
place are offered for the purpose. The price is agreed
upon, but the board's hands are tied.
"In this emergency I apply to you, on behalf of my-
self and fellow-townsmen, and beg and entreat of you
to in a Bill in the coming session which shall
enable boards of health to purchase land from cematries
partly consecrated and partly unconsecrated, deal with
vested and other rigbts, clo3e all burial-grounds which
vare full, and arrange the terms, fees, &C., connected
therewith.
" Trusting that my appeal will meet with a ready
response from you, I am, &c.,
" H. J. DAVIS, Mayor of Newport."

" T 3 It J. DAVIS, MAYOR OF NEWPORT.
" Sir,—l am directed by the General Board of Health
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th
inst.' pressing upon the board the importance of
providing in the ensuing session a legislative remedy
fur the evils arising from the inability of Iccal
boards of health to close noxious burial-places,
and to establish new public cemetries ; and iu reply
I am to inform you that the board are authorised
to state that her Majesty's Government entertain a hope
of being able to introduce into Parliament during the
approaching session a measure to facilitate the creation
of provincial cemeteries.—l am, &c.,
"C. MACAULAY, Secretary.
" The General Board of Health,
Whitehall, Oct. 20, 1852."

TB]; COLONIAL MAIL.—The Panama Star of the
7th instant contains a notice to the effect that the mails
by the British steamers will in future be landed at As-
pinwall, Navy Bay, instead of Chagres, the government
f or
of New Grenada having transferred the post-office
latter to the former place. By this change re
British mails will be received in Panama within two days
after the arrival of the steamer at Aspinwall, instead of
five or six days as formerly. It is also stated that the
British steamers in the Atlantic will receive and disem-
bark their passengers at Navy Bay in future instead of
Chqgres.
LONDON INsTITUTION.—A special general meeting
of the proprietors of this institution was held last evening at
the house of the institution, in Finsbury-square, and the
attendance, in consequence of the interest taken in the
questions to be debated, was exceedingly numerous. The
business of the meeting was t 3 corsider the report of the
Board of Managers on several suggestions referred to them

suggestions being that the price of the annual subscriptions
