INTRAMURAL INTERMENTS.—At the meetiVani°lolii

warden, visited the vaults under the parish eiTi:;°-
company with the medical inspector appointeuoollr
government to examine the condition of the„l3le I°d
burial places in the parish. It would be itsPee-"altill,'
him (Sir Hamilton) to give an idea of the re OF-

spectacle that those vaults presented. ""ii nOO •
were sold 60 of those vaults for 1501. each a foes'

commending the proprietors to close them tiro, ;

positive disgrace to Christianity and the count'' eoir

vaults in the parish.—Mr. Filmore seconded thea7e,o
which, after some observations from Messrs. ,

MARKET

TT DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the country,marketS held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, for which the demand
ruled steady, at full prices. The sale for barley was some-
what active, at extreme rates. Malt was held for more
money ; whilst the value of oats was well supported.
Beans, peas, and flour sold firmly, at previous rates.
The latest accounts from New York state that the de-
mand for flour was active, on higher terms. In grain very
little was doing. The continental markets have ruled
firm for all articles, but the amount of business doing has
not been extensive.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
wheat were on a moderate scale. From abroad we re-
ceived 970 qrs. of wheat, 1,430 barley, 4 tares 3,312 linseed,
577 rapeseed, and 7,261 sacks of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to this morn-
ing's market, from Kent, was somewhat on the increase,
and in fair average condition. From Essex the receipts
were but moderate, whilst there were scarcely any arrivals
from the east coast. The show of grain per railway was
small, and the number of samples of both red and white
on offer was comaratively limited. The attendance of
town millers was tolerably good, but that from the country
was small. For all kinds of wheat of home produce we had
a steady, but by no means brisk, inquiry at prices fully
equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, and a total
clearance was early effected.
The amount of business doing for forward delivery was
small, owing to the extreme firmness of the growers.
The quantity of fresh foreign wheat on offer was ex-
tremely small ; but the supply, ex-granary, was rather
extensive. Good heavy qualities changed hands steadily,
at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior
parcels very few transactions took place.
Floating cargoes of wheat and beans, off Falmouth, were
held at very full prices. The sales were trifling.
The show of all kinds of barley was very small ; hence
the trade ruled decidedly firm, and, in some instances, low
and middling malting samples produced rather more money
—all other qualities being quite as dear as last week.
Malt was in good supply, and steady inquiry, at extreme
quotations.
We were but moderately supplied with both home and
foreign grown oats ; nevertheless the demand for all kinds
was by no means active, at last week's currency.
Beans, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly,
at late rates.
The sale for peas was in a sluggish state. In prices no
change took place.
Foreign flour, in sacks, was offering freely, yet prices
were supported. English qualities were in very moderate
request, at late figures.

SMITHFIELD.

The imports of foreign stock into London, last week,

1,824 ; in 1851, 1,994 ; in 1850, 1,228 ; in 1849, 2,616 ; and
in 1818 1,020 head. The general quality of the stock at
