regulations enforced by him in reference to the
extramural cemeteries. Those regulations distri-
buted in eighteen pithy and significant paragraphs,
will be found given elsewhere in our impression of
this evening—reg,ulations which cannot fail, if
rigidly observed, to secure the salubrity of the
country adjacent to the new scenes of suburban
sepulture. It will be perceived that, according
to these regulations, the cemetery will be sur-
rounded by a belt of ground ten yards in width,
within the boundaries. of which belt of ground all
sepulture will be prohibited. It will be seen
that its whole area will be effectually under-
drained—that a sufficiency of cleanly and
durable roads and pathways will be provided
—that the whole will be carefully mapped out,
each individual grave being marked on the printed
plan of the cemetery. It will be perceived, in short,
that these and a variety of other advantages have
been cautiously provided for within the range of
these laconic but sufficiently explicit regulations.
The Noble Home Secretary, it will consequently be
remarked, has proceeded in earnest, and by no half
measures merely, in his resolute and comprehensive
determination to carry out at last the long-desired
project of extramural interment. Cordially,
therefore, may We now congratulate GEORGE
ALFRED WALSER, the originator of the Dead-
Man's Question, and as such the earliest of our
more eminent Sanitary Reformers, upon the
victory which, after fifteen years of arduous toil,
he has at last been enabled to achieve--thanks to
the sagacity, the energy, and the patriotism of
Viscount PALMERSTON.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15, 1853

EA T RE.

The excellent performances of the American eques-
trians drew together a crowded audience at Drury-lane
yesterday morning. The juveniles, for whose delectation
these day representations have been given, mustered
strongly on the occasion, and seldom have the exertions
of Messrs. Eaton Stone, Hernandez, Ryland, and New-
some ; Mdlles. Pauline Newsome, Zamesou, and the
charming and graceful little Ella, met with more
joyous appreciation. Apart from the horsemanship,
M. Dessaire's dogs and monkeys created mirth
and wonder, by their close imitations of humanity.
M. Hengler's accomplished tight rope dancing
was performed with ease, elegance, and finish. The
intervals were filled up by the comicalities of
'Tom" Barry, the grotesque and laughter-cheating
mimicry and tumbling of little Wheale, aided by Knight,
the three clowns of the ring. Messrs. Hernandez and
Eaton Stone, have determined on devoting the whole
receipts of next Saturday's performance as a testimonial
of respect to Mr. E. T. Smith. Boxing night is to be
inaugurated by the production of a pantomime, dedicated
especially to the boys and girls of the metropolis, in
which the foibles of the day, and the stirring events of
the past year, both home and foreign, will be reproduced.
Milano is underlined as Harlequin, Annie Cushnie
as
Columbine, Raiford as Pantaloon, and the fun and gri-
macing portions will be shown up by " Tom Matthews,"
as Clown. Miss Charles is to be the Harlequina.
