On Saturday, and during the two preceding days,
the inhabitants of the Hempstead-road and tipper
Seymour-street, Euston-square, have had thei r feel-
ings outraged under circumstances of a most revolt-
ing character. It will be remembered that a abort
time back the London and North-Western Railvcay
purchased a large portion of land running from We
Hampstead-road to Seymour-street, for the purpose
of enlarging the terminus. At the back of this
ground a large and lofty wall has been run up, se-
parating the railway from a new square called Ampt-
hill square, the houses forming which are now in
course of erection, those near the Hampstead-road
being completed and inhabited. The roads around
the square are not yet finished, and during the last
few weeks a large quantity of rubbish has been shot
f.r the purpose of forming th,m. During the ni2-ht
of Thursday an immense quantity of broken-up cofsns
and human bones were shot upon the spot, but where
they were brought from no one could tell. On the
Friday large number,- were drawn to the spot, and
not only were human bones found in large
quantities, but pieces of flesh were picked
up. Tne children who were there amused
themselves b raking over the soil for the pur-
pose of finding teeth, of which great numbers were
:picked up. The reporter, who was present, had a
whole handful shown him, the urchin who had picked
them up telling-him he should take them to a dentist's
and sell them. On making inquiry as to where they

is
i that it was from Old S. Pancras-churchyard, but
whether this is correct or not he is unable to say,
there beening brought
so
many fro
over-crowded
the neighbourhood. Ain advertisement, however,
appeared a short time since, stating that some graves
would have to be removed in that churchyard, in
order to enlarge the church, and the probability is
that the remains of suffering hunmoity bate been
brought from that place. Saturday the large mound
was mixed with gravel, and strewd all over the road, for
the purpose of hiding the bones and pieces of coffins
with which the earth was intermixed. It is to be hoped
that the parochial authorities will make some inquiry
into the affair, as, lea"ing out of question the revolt-
ing treatment of human remains, the pestilential
stench arising from them is so great that if a stop is
not put to such a proceeding fever and disease will
be engendered in the neighbourhood to an alarming
extent.

[ PRICE SD.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, SEPT. 4.—At a meeting of the guardians
at Kilkenny, on Thursday, a letter was read from the
Poor-law Commissioners, dated September I, refusing
to allow any reduction of the rates for temporary ad-
vances already declared, tlie. highest of which is

Is. Bd., but inmost electoral diviSions not exceeding
sd. in the pound. The following passage from the
letter is important :
" ThL Commissioners having every reason to sup-
pose that whatever time may be allowed by the Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Treasury for the actual
repayment of the advances made, they will not forego
the immediate making of rates for that purpose, to the
extent above described, now call upon the guardians
of Kilkenny union to proceed, without fail, in the
making of the rates resolved upon on the 19th ult."
The estimate for the Kilkenny division amounts to
3s. 6d. for ordinary purposes alone ; and the Commis-
sioners say it is not possible for them " to sanction any
rate being made on the principle of excluding from it
all provision for the repayment of the temporary ad-
vances."
On the recommendation of the Hon. Mr. IVANDES•
FORDE, the guardians postponed further proceedings
until they had time to consider the letter of the Com-
. .

missioners.
ENNISKILLEN.—The guardians of this union were
convened for Tuesday, to hear a communi.:ation from
the Commissioners on the refusal of the board to in-
clude the amount for out-door relief on the rate sti uck
for the ordinary expenses of the workhouse. The
Commissioners bad previously threatened to appoint
paid guardians. Nothing, however, was ilot,e, in
consequence, as the local paper says, of the absence
of a number of the guardians at tte Lough Erne
Regatta.
CLOGHEEN.—At the meeting on Monday, one of
the guardians (Mr. O'Brien) openly repudiated, on
the ground that "England dra%s annually out of the
country 16,000,0001. The Chairman, Mr. Barton,
Mr. J. A. Rutter, and other guardians, declared that
such conduct would be dishonest. They recom-
mended that the proper rate should be struck, and
then that the Government should be asked to give
time for repayment. Lord Kingston said, " The
Government think the people have plenty of money."
Mr. Archer Buller replied, " They never were mere
mistaken in their lives." Ultimately a resolution,
declaring a rate of 3s. in the pound, was adopted by a
majority of 12 to 4.
RESISTANCE TO POOR-RATES.
At the meeting of the Carlow guardians, on
Thursday, the Chairman stated that there had been
resistance to the collection of the rate for outdoor
relief in Graigue, Shrule, and Arles ; that the Rev.
Mr. Hickey, on Sunday last, told his flocks not to
pay for out-door relief, and that he would write im
mediately to Conciliation Hall for instructions how
to act. The result was that a rescue had been made
on the property seized for poor-rate. It was resolved
to communicate with the Commissioners on the sub-
ject. The Chairman remarked upon " the universal
disposition not to pay the rate."
The Limerick Reporter gives an account of resist-
ance to the collection of the new poor-rate in the
parish of Emly, county of Tipperary.
Lord Glengall presided on Thursday at a meeting
of the rate-payers of five unions in the county of
Tipperary, held in Clonmel, to " consider the enor-
mous burden of taxation with which the country was
oppressed."
INQUEST ON PERS

An inquest was held yesterday in the cabin of the
Duchess of Kent steamer on the bodies of the two
poor persons who died on board that vessel.
The jury found the following verdict
We find that Michael Duignan was removed in
a cart at seven o'clock on the morning of Wednesday
last from a fever hospital in the town of Rochdale, in
England, to the railway station there, and thence
transmitted by railway, a distance of forty-seven
miles, to Liverpool, and there put on board the
same day as a deck passenger, in a weak and very
exhausted state—in a state quite unfit to undertake a
voyage across the channel ; and we find that his death
was caused by the exposure of his weak and diseased
frame to the cold of a tempestuous night on the deck
