THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1853,

been closed by order in council. There were other
grave-yards now under examination, and probably the
rest of them would be closed at no distant period.
(Hear, hear.) The act of last year gave the Secretary
of State power to close graveyards in accordance
with the requirements of the Public Health Act,
but the act of Parliament did not vest in the
Secretary of State any power or authority to
provide new graveyards for those which were closed.
He happened, however, to know that several of the
parishes were making arrangements for new places of
interment and he also knew that, besides the
great cemetery at Woking, there was a bill
now passing through Parliament, which had
passed this house, and was now under discussion in
the House of Lords, for providing another cemetery
within a certain distance of the metropolis. (Hear.)
ADVERTISEMENT DUTY.
Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know what business it
was proposed to take on Monday, in the event of the
committee on the succession duty being disposed of to-
night ?
_ _ _

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in
the event of the Succession Duty Bill being got through
to-night, or early on Monday evening, he should move
immediately afterwards resolutions relating to receipt
and other stamps; and when they'were disposed of he
should propose to take the resolutions relating to the
duty on advertisements and the stamp upon newspapers,
but these latter would not be taken after ten o'clock.
(Hear, hear.)

The motion that the house, at its rising, do adjourn
until Monday was then agreed to.
SUCCESSION DUTY BILL.
The committee on this hill was then resumed.
