LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1849

According to the old adage, it must be an ill wind
indeed that blows no one any good ; and appalling as
is the character, and grievous as are the ravages of
the pestilence still devastating the metropolis, we may
expect that some extraordinary improvement in our sa
nitary laws will date from the prevalence of the cholera.
Seldom has public attention been so generally occu-
pied with the consideration of one subject. And no
wonder. Questions regarding abstract principles
may exercise the ingenuity and occupy the thoughts
of the logician and the philosopher, but to the
multitude they are comparatively without interest.
Far otherwise is it with a matter like this, relating to
life and death, which affects each and all of us with
personal concern.
The cholera is now (very naturally) the subject of
discourse in every assembly, friends and strangers
alike find in it a subject of common sympathy. Ever
journal is half filled with details concerning it. In
one column we find a list of the daily victims of the
pestilence ; in another a form of prayer, entreating
from the mercy of PROVIDENCE an abatement of the
affliction. Again we recognise the wise fulfilment of
that most excellent maxim, approved alike by reason
and religion, " Aide toi et Dieu taidera." Simulta-
neously with the supplication for Divine help, we
are rejoiced to witness some indications of human
efforts. Already some of those fruitful sources of
corruption, the burial-grounds of London, have been
closed by order. Things are come to a sad pass when
we are able to find matter of gratulation in the fact
that no more corpses will be laid in spots already so
full, already crammed to such a revolting and
poisonmis degree as fully to justify the recent parody of
Punch on the far famed " Elegy in a Country Church-
yard." Very different was the sacred spot, beneath
"some yew tree's shade," which inspired the musings
of GRAY, to the hundrits to which the following
verses might be truthfully applied :
" Good folks, impute not to their friends the fault,
If memory o'er their bones no tombstone raise;
Where there lie dozens huddled in one vault
No art can mark the spot where each decays.

" Full many a gas of direst power unclean
The dark, o'erpeopled graves of London bear.
Full many a poison, born tJ kill unseen.
And spread its rankness in the neighbouring air.

" To some doomed breast the noxious vapour flits,
Some luckless lung the deadly reth inspires;
Ev'❑ from the tomb morbific fumes arise—
Ev'n in men's ashes live Disorder's fires."
This iniquitous system—for when its consequences
are considered it may truly be styled iniquitous—is,
however, virtually at an end. The cholera has
effectually closed the graveyards of London, and also
the details connected with the cholera have occasioned
such publlc revelations of the undercurrent of misery
and loathsomeness which exists beneath the
'itter and the gold of mighty London, that
all but impossible but that „"some interference;
egisiative or otherwise will be called in to remedy
a grievance so intolerable. A correspondent of the
Times has suggested that a public subFcription should
be raised in behalf of those (and the class must be a
numerous one) whom the pestilence has deprived of
their protectors and sole means of suiport. A mul-
titude of widows and orphans and helpless beings
must necessarily be suffering pitiably. Many a
perhaps thriving family has been, by one stroke, re-
duced to the border of destitution. These are, indeed,
fit subjects for charity : a helping hand stretched in
time may save multitudes from, otherwise,
irretrievable misery. Still, however praiseworthy
such an attempt would be, the evil effects
of the cholera, have imposed a yet more imperative
duty upon the public. No longer can it be said "one
half of the world does not know how the other half
exists ;" the condition of the inhabitants of the courts
and alleys of London is no longer a secret to the great
body of the wealthy and the powerful. When an
evil is recognised the first step has been taken towards
its amendment. GOD grant it may; be so in the
present instance. The cholera has already been the
means of sketching out a vast amount of business for
the next sitting of Parliament. Let the public bear
the matter in mind, and evince their continual remem-
brance of it, and that business will be satisfactorily
accomplished.

_n addition to what we have already observed in
reference to the generation and diffusion of the preva-
lent epidemic, we must be permitted to express,
the most emphatic terms at
our command,
command our abhor-
rencein at the disgraceful scenes now daily' and almost
hourly witnessed in our metropolitan and provincial
graveyards. Cleanliness is next to Godliness; says the
old axiom ; but neither cleanliness nor godliness have
we, at the very time ben the country is being deco-
lated by an awful and destructive pestilence : we have
neither cleanliness in regard to the treatment of
the living, nor godliness in reference to the treat-
ment of the dead. Our rookeries and the more
penurious quarters of our most splendid cities
attest the former fact in their want of decent regula.
tions, of proper drainage, and of moderate ventilation,
Again and again is some ghastly incident recorded in
our ovtn columns or in those of our Contemporaries,
affording horrible testimony as to the accuracy of the
latter assertion. Only yesterday a paragraph was
quoted by ourselves from tha West Briton and
Cornwall Advertiser, recounting a very hideous oc-
currence which recently transpired at Falmouth. -On

turning again to our Cornish Contemporary, we find
the necessity for some improvement in the system of
interment in that locality, enforced by a long and
earnest communication from 111. P. R. DE LA
TREBONNAIS. After explaining the miserable con-
dition of the graveyard at Falmouth, where
the coffins are "separated from the surface
by merely two feet of putrid soil," that
gentleman asserts, and very justly asserts, that this
is indeed " a brand of shame deeply marked on the
face of British civilization"—this mockery of religion,
this defiance of all the laws of decency, this oblivion
of all the claims of affection, of respect for sorrow,
of regard for humanity, of reverence for the
departed, By a persistance in a course so re-
pulsive to the gentle and elevating prin-
ciples inculcated by Christianity we are blunting all
the more delicate sensibilities of our nature; we are
parodying the most sublime and pathetic ceremonies
of our ritual, and are doing our utmost to obliterate
all recollection of the exceeding holiness of death.
These things must not be permitted to continue. The
islands must be purged of such abomina-
tions. To permit victims of cholera to be
huddled into the earth like dogs, and at the same
time to breath forth before the throne of GOD that
beautiful prayer which has recently been d
compose
by his Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY—is
nothing less than an insult to that Awful Being whose
Omnipotence we are desirous of propitiating. Such
considerations as these we are satisfied will be suffi-
cient to command the interference of the authorities,
both at Falmouth and elsewhere, throughout the
United Kingdom.

The parsons seem determined to keep up the ball
with spirit. The freaks of the Rev. Messieurs JONES
and CHAPMAN have Barely been concluded when two
new clerical candidates for notoriety step into the
arena, as if striving to emulate the performances of
the former fanatic duumvirate. The incumbent of
Bedford has already reaped the reward of his achieve-
ment, in the form of a Government prosecution,
which has been instituted against him for misde-
meanour. The petty tyrant thought fit to refuse to
marry two parties whose banns had been published
thene
the usual manner, and who duly presented to h
reg i stroafr'sh

Bedford for the present.
His confrere, the Vicar of Leigh, is evidently a
man of mettle in his way, and disdains to be out-
generalled by episcopal authority. It appears that
remains
s
a young woman, named Mar ANN KEABSLEY, the
daughter of a weaver residing in his happy parish,
bad contracted, a few weeks since, a matrimonial en-
gagement with a young man of a parish adjoining.
They requested the vicar to publish the banns of
marriage, but he refused to comply with their desire,
alleging a similar reason to that advanced by his
brother of Bedford—namely, that they had not both
undergone the rite of confirmation. An appeal from
this monstrous decision was made to the Bishop of
MANCHESTER, who of course forthwith directed the,
publication of the banns, and they have accordingly
been published during two succeeding Sundays. One
might naturally suppose that the mandate of the
Bishop would have set the matter at rest, and that
the clergyman would have proceeded to act " de-
cently and in order," but the vicar had another
arrow in his quiver, and speedily saluted the family
of the bride elect in the character of a process-server.
Will it be believed that he has actually intimated his
intention of instituting proceedings against herself,
her father, and her brother—the father having been
guilty of the high crime of neglecting to cause his
children to be confirmed, and the children of neglect-
ing to attend the church for that purpose ? We
transcribe the notable document which the Reverend
Gentleman served in person on the astounded weaver,
for universal edification :
"I, James Irvine, vicar of Leigh, in the county of
Lancaster, and diocese of Manchester, do hereby require
you, James Kearsley, weaver, residing in a cottage
situate in a street commonly called Canal-street, near
the east cnd of Twist-lane, in the township of Penning-
ton, within the parish of Leigh aforesaid, to send your
son Peter, and your daughter Mary Ann, to the parish
church on Sunday next, and on every succeeding Sunday
and holiday, to be there instructed and examined in the
Church Catechism, atter the second lesson at evening
prayer, until such time as they have learned all that is
therein appointed for them to learn.—Dated this 6th
day of September, in the year of our Lord 1840.
(Signed) "J. lavnen, Vicar of Leigh."
Accompanj ing this was an extract from the canons
of the Church, to the effect that a neglect of such
duty is to be visited with suspension by the ordinary,
and persistence therein for the space of a month, by
excommunication.
We shall not insult the common sense of our readers
by asking their opinion as to whether this proceeding
was instituted by the vicar out of regard to the
parties concerned as members of his flock, or out of
a paltry spite at finding himself compelled by superior
authority to retrace his steps in the matter of
the publication of the banns. We can surely feel no
pleasure in chronicling or commenting upon the mis-
conduct of any minister of religion, no matter of what
sect or denomination of Christianity.
Indecencies on the part of those who are invested
with sacred functions, however they may provoke the
scoffs of the irreverent, are matters of grief and
shame to well-thinking Christian men. But if the
noisome and noxious weed so f bigotry are permitted to
take root with impunity in the corn-field of the State
Church—if the lordly hierarchy are unable or un-
willing to root up the tares now springing plenteously
among the wholesome wheat are we the worst
enemies of the Church of England who point to the
creeping abomination, and lift up our voice in warning
to the nodding watchers ?
Many truly honest and pious men are to be found
among the pastors of the Church by law established ;
but he must be indeed a sorry reader of the signs of
the times who fails to perceive the gradual diminution
of respect and affection for that corporate body among
the intelligent adherents of the reformed doctrines,
roe great has been, and now is, its faith in
temporal power—too strong its reliance upon the
fleshly arm. There is manifest in it a want of spi-
ritual expansion—a forgetfulness, or a blindly obsti-
nate disbelief in the great and irresistible progress of
the human mind—a systematic stagnancy, unbroken
save by scattered symptoms of retrogression, that
rationally account for its decaying influence. The
Church of England was founded on progress, and if it
resist the power:which called it into being, and cling
to the pernicious doctrine of finality, the ever-advanc-
ing tide of intelligence will assuredly sweep it into
ruin. Whatever power it has possessed, or may still
retain, is derived solely from the fact that, at the
period of its establishment, it represented the para-
mount idea of the day, namely, the right of private
judgment. Has the Reformed Church fully repre-
sented that idea ? Has it even fairly and heartily
recognised it in theory ? No, it yearns after the
leaven of infallibility, and no longer maintains the
position it once proudly held, and on which its solid
strength was exclusively based. It daily assumes the
increasing, though unsubstantial, proportions of a
gigantic incubus on thought,' of the palsied expositor
(,f a soulless doctrine, " cabin'd, confin'd," in
the meshes of Mammon, clogged by petty ambition
and the narrow aspirations of worldly pride and emo-
lument. Who is so blind as not to foresee the advent
of the day when the worn-out mechanism must fall to
pieces, and when not all the mind-cramping formulas,
or the tinselled temporalities, however bloated with
the treasures which moth and rust loth corrupt, can
save the gaudy shrine from ruin, and its effete hiero-
phauts from impotency and decay ?

THE PITMAN COURT-MARTIAL.

We have received a communication this morning
from Mr. W. J. Little, the legal adviser of Mr.
Elliott, late master of a M.S. Childers, in which the
former gentleman transmits to us a copy of the letter
penned by his client and inserted in our columns of
sesterday evening. It will doubtless have been per-
ceived by Mr. Little, from that impression of our
journal, that we are disposed to be anything rather
than dilatory in advocating the cause of those much
injured and unfortunate officers, at present suffering
an undeserved incarceration " felons "in the
county gaol at Exeter. Until their sentence shall have
been revised, their punishment mitigated, and until
their grievous wrongs have received in some measure at least the semblance of compensation, we shall not
cease, to insist upon the necessity of a complete re-or-
ganization of the present atrocious system of courts..
martial.

will show the reserve which we have used in publish-
ing the reports of the foreign journals :
in thanking you for the report which you made to
Tag iu your letter of the Bth inst., we can sariily you as
to the movement of the Austrian troops on your fron-
tiers, and enable ycu to contradict the rep.rts which are
in circulation in your clnton es to the object of that con
centration of troops, which were said to be intended and
ready to invade it. We have learnt from several coin
munications that these movements are not to be at-
tributed to any hostile intention, and that the establish-
ment of Austrian military posts on the extreme frontier
of Switzerland has no other object than to prevent the
desertion of individuals who wish to escape the cr!u-
scription, which is now taking- place in Lombardy, and
at the same time to repress the smuggling which is now
beink. carried on very extensively on that frontier. The
marches and counter.marches of the troops have, besides
been made on sanitary consideration, the opportuneness
of which cannot be contested. This information will be
sufficient to tranquillise the minds of your people, to
whom it will be d: sit able to make it known."

ITALY.

It appears, from certain letters from Naples pub-
lished in the Statato, that the reception of Pro NINo in
that city...was anything but enthusiastic. The people
well understand how impossible it is for the tool of
the Jesuits ever to become the liberator of Italy.
The Concordia of Turin contains the following
from Rome, Sept. 17th Several Spanish soldiers
lately entered a house at Zagarolo in order to carry
off a young woman. Her htuband defended her some
time, but at last, seeing that resistance was vain, he
killed her with his: own hand, preferring to see her
dead rather than dishonoured. Several peasants, at-
tracted by the noise, hastened to the spot, while-more
Spaniards came to the assistance of their comrades.
A fray ensued, in which the peasants had the worst,
of it , three of them were seized and shot on the spot.
Since this event, Zagarolo has-become a desert, every
one having retired to the country to avoid similar
scenes."
These are some of the consequences of the restora-
tion of Pio Noxo by foreign bayonets. If we mis-
take not, his HOLINESS a few days since bestowed his
blessing on these very Spanish soldiers.
A letter from Florence of the 10th, which is pub-
lished in the Journal des Debats, says :
" The general subject of conversation here for the last
few days is a treaty of alliance, offimsive and defensive,
which is to be concluded between Austria and Tuscany.
This news, which, however, has nothirg of an officiul
character in it, Las produced a painful impression in
Florence; the bearing of such a political act is not dis-
sembled; it is considered to be an abjuration of inde-
pendence and netionality on the part of the Tuscan Gc-
vernment. This is not all. Under pretence that the
present organization and composition of the Tuscan
troops is not such as could be wished, which it
may be remarked is very true, the army is to he
entirely dismanded, with the exception of one regi-
ment, and six thousand Austrians to be taken into
the pay of Tuscany, which, without being nationalised,
will constitute the only national force of tlie country.
Without entering into all the considerations of
domestic policy, which militate against such a state of
things, it is asked which of the two sovereigns these
troops will obey in the event of any disagreement be-
tvwen the Emperor and Grand Duke. The internel
state of affairs, which is very prosperous, is complicated
by a ternporaay financial crisis. The Government owes
about 35 millions of Tuscan livres ; but the prepo ty of
the State r,:presents a value of nearly 200 million.. A
bean and the constitution of a public debt may thus
provide for the embarrassment of the moment. The
guarantees which are offered by Tuscany incontes,
tittle; several English and French companies offer to fur-
nish the loan ; the house of Rothschild has even been
seriously spoken of. But here arises a 114. FY difficulty,
which engrges public tytentien in the highest degree.
The question which Liss been first raised by the lenders
is, whether the Tuscan Government is absolute or con-
stitutional. If it is absolu:e, they say the decision of
the Sovereign is sufficient for us ; but if it is constitu-
tional, the loan to be valid must be sanctioned by the
Chasebers. The Ministry has nut hesitated to reply
that the constitutional regime was muintaiie d in 1 us-
cany ; bat the Chambers not being cot:v.:deed, the loan
could not be legally made. The question, therefore, re-
mains pending, and the state of affairs becomes more
aggravated. Recourse was at first had to usurious loans,
which have exhausted the last resources; the family tax
was then tripled, which has caused great discontent.
The family tax, in fact, although proportional, weighs
for the most pert on the inhabitants of the country,
whose attachment to the person of the Grand Duke has
never failed, and it is to be feared that it wiA tend to
alienate the sympathies of the people from the Govern-
ment. The reply of the Ministers relative to the main-
tenance of the Constitution was received with very sig.
nificative favour. It is said that the Ministry is de-
decided on persisting in that path, and is ready togive
in
its resignation en masse if it is sought to make tiny at-
tack on what it has promised. The retirement of the
Ministry under existing circumstances would be a
thing much to be regretted, the members of it justly en-
joying the confidence of the public. Baron de Ilugel,
the Austrian Chars d'Affaires, has just arrived h ere,
and has delivered his letters of credence to the Grand
Duke, who returned the day before yesterday Iron his
country residence at Pratolitio, whither Lc had retired
with Lis fatcily after the death of his daughter, the
Archduchess Christina, at which he was much affected.
This young Princess was only euven years of age, sad
she makes the fourth child which he hest lost. The
health of the hereditary Prince is also delicate, but up to
this time has not caused any uneasiness."
`l rte Reforma of Lucca, of the 11th, states that the
new Tuscan law of the press will contain an article
empowering the Government to suspend journals on
application from any Ambassador accredited to the
court of Tuscany. The Tuscan bishops have ad-
dressed a circular to all the curates in their dioceses,
recommending them to read in public the Act of the
Roman congregation prohibiting GIOBERTI'S book,
with an injunction to declaim against the heresiarch
GIOBERTI.
The Legge of Turin, a semi-official journal, of the
14th says—
" Garibaldi has gone to Nice. His language has been
constantly that of a men who understands the necessities
of the times, and who would not be even an involuntary
cause of discord. The royal authorities have treated
him with every regard due to misfortune and military
courage. Lieutenant-General Lanaarmora has behaved
to him so as to conciliate generosity with duty. The
population of Genoa has observed, with respect, to Gari-
baldi, a most becoming behaviour."
The Risorgimento, and other Turin papers, state
that GARIBALDI had been allowed to go to Nice to see
his relations, but was to return to Genoa within
twenty-four hours.
The Risorgimento of Turin quotes a letter from
Parma of the 11th, slating that on the preceding
night the DuKE caused the Convent of Benedictines
and the College of Barnabites to be surrounded by
dragoons, and had the inmates forced into carriages
ready for the purpose, and transported beyond his
frontier. The foiowing decree relating to this
act was published in the Parma Gazette of the
12th :

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotten Make': at Liverpool yesterday was rather
animated and closed firmly. Prices of American were
rather higher. The sulcs were estimated at 7,000 bales,
4,000 of which were taken on speculation.
It appears that the Belgian Government have pub-
a lengthened statement showirg the position of
the public debt, which is satisfactorily decreasing.
Since 1848, when the Government was perilled by the
position of affairs in France, the revenue has improved,
and out of the surplus receipts the debt has been dimi-
nished by 1,53.5,006 francs within the last eighteen
months, without aid or reference to the appropriation set
apart from the sinking fund.
There are no late arrivals to-day from the colonies
which put us in possession of information of interest.
