LONDON NECROPOLIS AND NATIONAL

MAUSOLBUM COMPANY.

' Yesterday the ceremony of consecrating that part of
the new cemetery at Woking which is destined to afford a
resting place to members of the Church of England having
been appointed to take place, a large number of the direc-
tors and their friends proceeded from the South-Western
, station at hall-past 12 o'clock, to be present on that occa-
'tion. The office of consecration was performed by the
Bishop of Winchester, assisted by his commissary, the
clergy of the diocese and of the metropolitan districts. There
was a large number of peasantry from the surrounding
country, to whom the arrival of a railway train in the
middle of Woking-common was no doubt a novelty
never to be forgotten: The chapels for the reception
of the deceased members of the Established Church
and of the dissenters are precisely similar in structure,
extremely plain in character, but well adapted for
the purposes for which they are intended. The land
is at present almost in a state of nature ; but when
the grounds are properly laid out, and the plantations
sufficiently grown, no doubt they will offer a desirable
resting place for the inhabitants of this metropolis.
The directors and visitors on their return to town pro-
ceeded to the Albion Tavern, where an excellent enter-
tainment was provided; Mr. Thomas Dakin, chairman of
the committee, presiding. After the usual loyal toasts,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of " the Army
and Navy."
General CHATTERTON, one of the directors, returned
thanks.

The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Bishop
of Winchester and the clergy, to which the Rev. Mr.
HUBBARD, rector of St. Olave's, replied.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the prosperity of th e
company, and, in doing so, referred to the evils of intra-
mural interments, as acknowledged by the reports of the
Board of Health. Englishmen were slow to believe that
the Government could do for them that which they could
do for themselves, and therefore they resolved to set about
the matter themselves. It was at first considered that this
was not a proper matter for a trading company, and that
the Government would be best fitted to carry out such
an undertaking. They accordingly proposed to carry it
out with a capital of 700,000/. and a revenue of 112,000/.
Now, the present company proposed to accomplish the
same object with a capital of only 250,0001., of which, at
the present moment, they contemplated but the expendi-
ture of 125,0001. ; and of the efficiency of that expen-
diture they could form some judgment by what they
had witnessed in the early part of the day. The
mortality of the metropolis was Calculated at 60,000 a
year, so that a means of transport for 150 lA, diem would
be ample to meet the requirements of the whole metro-
polis, and, through the kind co-operation of the South-
Western Company, this could be effected without at all
interfering with the ordinary traffic of the line. (Hear,
hear.) If the company could effect this, and effect it
at one-third less than was contemplated in the report of
the Board of Health, they were surely meeting the
necessities of the case, and at the same time solving a
difficulty of no small social importance. (Cheers.)
The toast having been drunk with enthusiasm,
The CHAIRMAN proposed in succession " The Healths
of Mr. Lacy, M.P. ;" " Mr. Harvey, rector of Hornsey ;"
" The South-Western Company and the Hon. Mr. Dun-
combe ;" "Mr. Sydney Smirk and Mr. Tite, the archi-
tects," which were severally responded to.
The compainy remained to a late hour.

The Kreutz Zeitung announces the arrival of the Aus-
terlitz at Sheerness in these words :—" The French
liner ran into Sheerness yesterday from the Baltic. She
is 45 guns less of the number she had on board when she
sailed with her Bretons and Gaseous to the Baltic,
into which their forefathers would have as soon ventured
as into a lion's den. She was obliged to throw her can-
awn overboard to save herself from the Finland rocks,
which also compelled English ships to adopt the same
plan."
THE ALAND IBLES.—The Aland Isles are now quite
evacuated by the Allie. The frigate Penelope, that has
been hitherto stationed at Ledsund, left there on the
28th ult. for Eregrund, where, in connection with the
steam-frigate Odin, she will watch over the blockade of
the Gulf of Bothnia. For the last 6 weeks there has
been hardly one day of fine weather at Ledsund ; it
blew and rained from morning till night, and a 'lumber
of vessels have been lost lately in those waters. All
the small steamers had already left. The Alanders
were particularly dejected, knowing that thea:guesd-
sians would return in force immediately the last
English ship left. The Russians have managed
to keep up their communications between the Island and
Finland even while our ships were there. Some time
back a steamer used to come every week from Abo on
one excuse or the other, but this has since been put a

Letters from Berne, of the 4th inst.,, state that,
in consequence of the triumph obtained by the com-
bination of the ultra-Radical and ultra-Montane
oppositions in all the elections of Ticino for the
National Helvetic Council, the members of the
executive power in that canton had all resigned
their functions. The Grand Council was accordingly
convoked for-the 15th inst., to appoint a new ex-
ecutive. The defeat of the two Government can-
didates, Messrs. Franscini and Pioda, both mem-
bers of the Federal Council, had induced the Can-
tonal authorities to resign. Owing to the gravity
of circumstances, Colonel Bourgeois, the Federal.
Commissioner in Ticino, had been ordered to re-
turn immediately to his post.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS .DAY.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
BRRNARDY V. HARDING.

Mr. Hoggins applied to the court for a rule to show
cause why the verdict in this case should not be en-
tered for the plaintiff. On the occasion of the Duke of
Wellington's funeral, the defendant hired the colonnade
of the Opera to let out in seats to view the procession,
and employed the plaintiff to dispose of the tickets,
agreeing to allow him 10 per cent. on all he sold.• The
plaintiff, acting under this agreement, inserted adver-
tisements in various French and English papers, and
made other arrangements for announcing to the wprld
that the tickets were to be procured at his office.
Accordingly, the day before the funeral he was besieged
with applications for tickets; but the defendant having
sent him a message that he was not to dispose of them
until he had further permission to do so, he directed
the applicants to wait upon the defendant instead of sell-
ing them tickets, and in this way the defendant suc-
ceeded in letting all his sittings. Nevertheless, the de-
fendant, after the funeral was over, refused to remu-
nerate the plaintiff for his trouble, and an action was
brought by the plaintiff for work and labour done.
The court, however, held that such an action would
not lie. It should have been an actioir for breach of
contract, and a second action was brought in that form ;
but, at the trial, Mr. Baron Martin held that the Ines
sage of the defendant did not amount to a breach of
the contract, and, therefore, the plaintiff was not en-
titled to recover. This ruling of the learned judge was
considered to be erroneous, and the plaintiff now sought
to have a verdict entered in his favour on a new trial.
Application granted.
