and to mortgage the rates, to be repaid out of the
fees, giving a power to the trustees, jointly with the
vestry, to manage the rates for that purpose, he
thought they would be able to effect the object they
had in view under the regulation of the Government.
It would, of course, be advisable to submit their rules
and regulations to the Government, but ho believed
the details would be better carried out by being left
in the hands of the local authorities. They had a
Bill proposed, with the assent of all parties, to
divide the large parish of St. Pancras, with its
170,000 inhabitants, into several parishes, and
he could state that churchmen, dissenters, and
all sects and parties, were agreed that the object
of the present deputation could be carried out with-
out the interposition of a church 'rate. If the Govern-
ment thought the powers necessary to enable the
parish to carry out the regulation of its own burial-
ground too great to intrust to any one parish, then
they might amalgamate with others, and form a dis-
trict for that common object. He suggested that a
board might be formed out of the existing vestries of
the parish, not by direct election, as that would be
likely to create too much excitement, but that those
vestries, by indirect election, should nominate the
trustees and managers of the burial-ground.
Mr. SODEN also briefly addressed his Lordship.
Lord Jons RUSSELL then said—Gentlemen,; I can
only state to you in reply that the matter has been
for some time under the consideration of the Govern-
ment ; that the general principle of the measure to be
produced has been agreed upon, and that Lord Sey•
mour has been charged by me with the duty of pre-
paring the measure and carrying out its details.
I believe that we are all agreed on the general
principles, and these only I shall touch upon at
present. In the first place, we are agreed that
there is a great desire, and I think a very just
desire, that interments should not go on
within the metropolis. In crowded streets it is not fit
that there should be burial-grounds, and where the
number dying is very large the result must be very
injurious to the public health. In the next place I
should say that I entirely agree that anything that
can be done by the parochial authorities would be
better done by them than by the Government, or by
a board appointed by the Government. In the third
place, it is a matter of no little difficulty to accom-
plish the object in such a town as this is, considering
the vast size of the metropolis. I am told that such
things are arranged differently in other towns, and I
can conceive it ; but in this town we have to consider
that if the burial-grounds to be provided are to be
free from buildings, they must be at a considerable
distance. If we go to St. Pancras, we find that
some years ago they provided a burial-ground which
was remote from buildings, but by the increase
of the town it has now been included in the town
itself, and in this way many cemeteries have
become surrounded by houses. That being the
case, and it being necessary that burial-grounds
should be provided at some distance, of course there
would be no very great difficulty as regarded the
rich or the poor, because the parish undertakes
the interment of the poor • but there is, with regard
to a vast mas of the middle class of the people a diffi-
culty, as they would have to pay a considerable sum
for the interment of their families. And with regard
to the working of the plan that has been suggested,
there is another difficulty, which does not belong to
the locality, but refers to the size of the parish ; be-
cause while the new parishes, if I may so call them,
consist of very large districts—most of them im-
mensely populous—there are in the old parts of the
town very small parishes, which, of course, would be
neither able to go to the same expenditure, or take the
same large and comprehensive view as those larger
parishes ; therefore there are difficulties belonging to
the subject; but I trust that the measure under con-
sideration, when it is produced, may be satisfactory,
and, at all events, we shall be ready to listen to any
amendments that may be proposed. So far from its
being the object of the Government to have any con-
trol in these matters, they have quite enough to do
already, and it is, I assure you, far from their wish to
be incumbered with them.
Mr. COOPER begged to ask whether his Lordship
had any objection to having the proceedings of the
deputation published, with his Lordship's remarks ?
Lord J. RessELL—l have no objection whatever;
but I reserve -to myself the right of denying it i;
anything is attributed to me that I may not have said
The deputation then withdrew.

CORK, JAN. 30.
The arrivals of grain from abroad since our last have
been few. Those of home grain aro only moderate, the
receipts for the week being—Wheat, 784 barrels at 185
to 21s per barrel; barley, 1,147 barrels at Its 4d to 120
6d per barrel; oats, 5.545 barrels at 9s to 10s 6d per
barrel. In the green market the value of each descrip-
tion has tended upwards, and the samples offering have
been taken readily at rather higher rates. In prepared
and foreign wheat we have only a moderate consumptive
business, but prices must be quoted 6d to Is per barrel
higher, at which improvement holders are very firm.
But for the circumstances before referred to, we should
have had very large sales to report. Barley contiaues to
improve in value. Holdera of oats are very firm, and
the value of the article is fully maintained. We have
not, however, any transactions of any moment to re-
cord. We quote prices as in our last—viz., white, 11s
to 11s 6d; black, lOs 6d to lOs 9d per barrel, free on
board. In Flour we had a steady and large consumptive
trade, at an advance of 6d per cwt on fine flour; the
advance asked last week to a similar extent, on coarse
flours, being also readily obtained. Indian corn must
be quoted 2s 6d to 5s per ton dearer, at the same time
that any sales of this grain are moderate and limited in
the extreme, owing altogether to the causes already
as-
signed. We quote the asking value of prime Galata, 71
5s to 71 7s 6d per ton.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. 31.—Not much passing to-day, but
a very healthy feeling pervades the trade.
MANCHESTER, JAN. 31.—The trade has continued to
exhibit an aspect of undiminished firmness throughout
the present week, and although rather less active than
previously, still for approved marks of flour a further
advance of 6d to Is per sack has been realised, whilst
oatmeal supported fully former terms. The arrivals
from all sources at Liverpool and Runcorn are on a very
moderate scale. At our market this morning there
was only a moderate amount of business transacted.
Nevertheless wheat must be noted Id to 2d per 701 b,
oats Id per 451 b, and flour is per sack dearer than on
this day se'nnight. In other articles no change was
observable.

WORCESTER, JAN. 31.—Our market today was pretty
well attended by farmers and dealers, and prices were
well maintained for all descriptions of grain. English
white wheat may be quoted at from 5s 6d to 58 10d per
621 b.; and red, 55 to 5s 6d. Malting barley, 3s 6d to
4s per bushel; and distilling qualities, from 3s 4d to
3s 6d. Old English beans, 4s 6d to 4s 9d per bushel;
new, 4s; and foreign, 3s 6d to 4s per bushel. English
oats, 2e 9d to 3s 6d per 391 b; and Irish, from 25 8d to
3s ed. Winter vetches, 4s per bushel. No alteration
in peas.
At Stourbridge market on Friday wheat was held
firmly for former prices. Barley in request, at fully is
per qr. for more money. Beans were firm at late rates.
Oats and peas were fiat, but lower rates than those of
the previous market•day were not submitted to.
There was an average attendance at Stratford-on-
Avon market on Friday, but business was dull. White
wheat fetched 16s 6d, and red 15s 6d per bag of three
bushels for English. The barley trade was more active,
at an advance in price. Best malting sold at 32s per
quarter; other qualities about 28s to 30s.
At Wolverhampton market the supply was large, and
sales being pressed, millers were able to obtain wheat
at about the same rate as last week. White wheat, 5s 6d
to 5s 10d per bushel; and red, 5s 4d to 6,6 d per bushel.
Malting barley was held for an advance of is per
quarter, but the sale was dull at 30s to 325. Beans
maintained former rates. For oats about 6d per quarter
more money was obtainable.

Very little was done in beans and peas. Yesterday at
Derby a small business was passing in wheat, at is to 2s

ready of sales at 2s per quarter more money; oate, 6d to

market to-day; an advance of 2s per quarter was realized.
Fine barley was is to 2a per quarter dearer. Oats and
beans maintained their value.
GLOCESTER, JAN, 31.—Our market continues exceed-
ingly firm, and with very short imports prices c.mtinue
on the rise, and some farmers are holding for a still
further advance in prices. English red wheat must be
quoted at 5s Os per bushel, and white 5s 9d to 6s for
very superior qualities,
though the dampness of the
weather cause them to be scarce. Foreign may be had
at 5s to 5s 6d average.
In other grain there is a con-
tinued firmness.
