A SPORTSMAN'S INVITATION.
About a week ago, or rather better,
%%bile walking in a field I found a letter;
Picking it up, and finding how it ran,
I saw 'twas written by a sporting man.
And now for MOSES' sake I can't d• better,
Than let yon hear the contents of
THE LETTER.
Pear Mr. Phizz,—l hope you are well and hearty,
For, Sir, we want you in a sporting party.
Our worthy friends, Popo, Marker, Shott, and Ramna
Ilave all agreed to come, and pleased I am ;
And, -Ir, I hope you'll come and join us too,
But now I'll tell you what we have ist view.
All have agreed to what frienA Popp proposes,
That every one shall wear a coat from MOSES ;
We think our taste, as sportsmen, will be shown,
In wearing shooting-coats which stand alone—
Alone in quality—alone in style—
Alone In lasting us a long, long while.
MOSES and SON deserve support from us,
Ani that's the reason I address you thus :
I've one of MOSES' coats, and really, Sir,
In ev'ry sense its just what I prefer;
And yet it cost but very little cash,
Pray go to MOSES, like your friend,
FRED. FLASH.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determ,ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
cornprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to doinestle happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretatior of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate-0 do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—SICK HEADACHES, BILE, AND
INDIGESTION CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS .—The in-
numerable proofs of the efficacy of these invaluable Pills
in the cure of bile, sick headaches, and indigestion are so
convincing, that every person subject to these distressing
complaints should immediately have recourse to them
for relief, for no medicine has hitherto been discovered
that possesses such powerful properties in curing the
above. named disorders, it acts so peculiarly on the sys-
tem, that all impurities are removed, and the patient be-
comes permanently invigorated. Holloway's Pills are
also an infallible remedy for liver complaints, and rank
in the highest estimation as a family medicine.—Sold by
all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment,

Sir John Key, Bart., was amongst the members
present at the Court of Aldermen on Tuesday. Mr.
Alderman Copeland took the liberty to inquire of the
worthy Baronet whether he intended to remain in Eng-
land ? Sir John Key made no reply, and Mr. Alderman
Musgrove questioned the right of any member of the
Court to put such a question to an alderman whose duty
was duly performed by others in his absence. After
some business had been disposed of, Sir John Key rose,
and stated that he had removed to the continent in con-
sequence of the ill•bealth of Lady K.y. Finding she did
not benefit by residing for a time at Cheltenham, he wa-
induced to remove to Brussels. Her health had improved
since she had resided there, and if it continued to amend,
he should be enabled to return to England in a few
months and perform his duties as a magistrate as punc-
tually as Were.

ABOLITION OF GRAVE-YARDS.
A public meeting was held last night at the Crown
and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of peti-
tioning Parliament for the immediate abolition of
burial• places in cities and towns. The chair was
taken by B. B. Cabbell, Esq., M.P., and the attend-
ance was so large that an adjournment to the large
room became necessary.
Letters, apologising for their absence, were read
from Dr. Bowring,M7P.;
the Hon. W. Gore, M.P.;
C. Pearson, Esq., M.P. ; E. Horsman, Esq., M.P. ;
T. Duncombe, Esq., M.P.; W.P. Wood, Esq., M.P.,
and several other gentlemen.
The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proceedings.
The practice of interring the dead in the midst of the
living—a practice introduced in all probability by the
superstition of the olden times, but sanctioned and
continued from the desire of gain—was one which
ought to be abolished, and which must soon give
way before the weight of public opinion.—(Ap-
plause.) It was a matter of astonishment that the
city of London should so long have sanctioned a
practice productive of such lamentable results, par-
ticularly amongst the humbler classes, and it was also
a matter of astonishment that amidst all the questions
of sanitary improvement, the question of interment in
towns should be considered one of minor importance.
He trusted, however, that the expression of public
feeling on the present occasion would have the effect
of calling the attention of the recently-appointed
commission to the subject, and that it would re-
ceive that degree of attention to which it was so justly
entitled.—(Applause.)
Mr. E. A. WALKER, in rising to move the first
resolution, said, that the condition of the burial-
grounds in the city of London was most disgraceful
to humanity, and September, more than any other
month in the year, appeared to be 4.ledicated to the
upturnings of the dead. In that month last year the
attention of the public was directed to the case of St.
Matthew, Friday-street. Within the last few days
many remnants of mortality had been shot down in
the neighbourhood of Euston-square. Elim Chapel,
in Fetter-lane, now stood out in bold relief, and was
another proof of what must be expected if the pre-
sent system should be allowed to continue. In that
place, measuring forty feet by forty, thousands of
human bodies had been deposited, where space did
not exist for as many hundreds.—(Shame.) He
wished to call the attention of the meeting to this
fact—which he trusted would be borne in mind—
that an acre of ground would afford decent burial to
136 adult bodies. He knew no instance of a burial-
ground extending itself. And what was the inevit-
able result ? Why, that in some of the grave-yards
of London upwards of 3,000 bodies per acre per
annum had been interred.—(Loud cries of " Shame.")
The average interments in the London places of
burial was 2,130 per acre. Mr. Chadwick in his re-
port gave the following statement :
In St. Andrew's Undershaft, the average per
acre is ... ••• •• _ 1278

The case of Enon Chapel, Clement's-lane, had been
lung before the public, but he would just remind the
meeting of the receipts arising from the burials in a
cellar measuring 59 feet by 29 feet. The first funeral
took place on the 6th of October, 1822. The receipts
in the course of the year amounted to ....£144 15 6

Making a total of ... £951 5 0
(Cries of "shame.") These figures were taken from
the Rev. Gentleman's own book.

An individual inquired when the burials were dis:
continued there ?

Mr. WALKER believed they were discontinued in
the year 1838, and took some portion of the credit to
himself for having closed that burial-place. Mr.
Walker then expatiated at some length on the injuries
resulting from a contaminated atmosphere, illustrat-
ing his argument by a reference to an occurrence
which took place at Minchinhampton in the year
1843, which is thus described :—" The church and
churchyard of Minchinhampton are very old. The
latter has served as a burial-ground for the last 500
years, and is consequently densely crowded with dead
bodies. In the autumn of 1843 the church was re-
built, and it became necessary, or was thought expe-
dient, to lower the surface of the grave-yard within a
foot or two of the remains of those buried. Many
bodies were disturbed during this process and re-
interred. The earth so removed, of a dark colour—
saturated, in fact, with the products of human
in a fatal hour, devoted to the
purposes of agriculture. About 1,000 cart-loads
putrefaction—was,
were thus employed—some on a new piece of
burial-ground to make the grass grow quickly,
some as manure on the neighbouring fields, some
in the rector's garden, some in the patron's
garden. The seeds of disease were thus widely sown,
and the result any man of common sense might have
predicted The diffusion of a morbid poison was
soon followed by an outbreak of fever in this pre-
viously healthy locality. The family of the rector
and the inhabitants of the street adjoining the church-
yard were the first attacked, and the greatest suf-
ferers. The rector lost his wife, his daughter, and
his gardener. The patron's gardener also, who had
been employed in the unseemly occupation of dres-
sing flower-beds with human manure, was attacked.
In short, wherever the earth had been taken fever
followed. The children who attended the Sunday-
school caught fever as they passed the up-turned
surface of the grave-yard, went home, and died ; but
they did not communicate the disease to those near
them, nor did it arise in any who were not exposed
to the cause of its development." In that case, 17
deaths occurred from fever, and there were nearly
200 cases of scarlet fever and measles.—(Hear, hear.)
So long as such upturnings of the earth took place,
so long would disease and death walk hand-in-hand
amongst the population. He trusted speedily to
witness the abolition of a system which tended to
bring the ministers of religion into contempt, which
lowered the standard of morality, and was a foul blot
on our boasted civilization.—(Applause.) He begged
to move—" That the burial of the dead in- the midst
of the living has, in, many instances, led to the sys-
tematic violation of the feelings of our common
humanity ; and that this custom has originated and
maintain ed practices which have brought dishonour
and disgrace on the national character, degraded re-
ligion, corrupted public morals, and inflicted incal-
culable injury on the public health."
Mr. CIILJILES SHAW seconded the resolution,
which was supported by Mr. HEALY, who said that
of all the parishes in London there was none managed
in a more unchristianlike manner with regard to in-
terments than that in which they were now assem-
bled. Very recristly, in consequence of the alteration
of some sewer, a body had been disinterred, which
was as fresh as if it had only been buried a fortnight
before.—(Hear, hear.) If ministers of religion
wished well to the service to which they were dedi-
cated they ought to attend such meetings as the pre-
sent, and he regretted that none of the distinguished
ministers in Londan had thought proper to attend ;
but they had more ithan once been enlightened by the
laity, who were def.' rmined to do their duty on this
subject.--(Applause.,) There were 400 grave-yards
in the metropolis-40 places conspiring against the
health of the metropolis—and this, too, under the
name of religion. It was thus that religion became
desecrated, and he lutd no hesitation in saying that if
the people succeede d in their present object, as suc-
ceed they must, they would do more for religion in
this country than anything which had been done for
the last ten yearn.
Mr. CARDEN, amidst much confusion, cries of
" Question," " Chair," &c., also supported the reso-
lution, which was put and carried unanimously.
Sir CHARLES ALCM., (after many interruptions from
Mr. Carden, who pei listed in again addressing the
meeting) moved the next resolution :—" That the
evils resulting from intramural interments have in-
creased to an alarm nitig extent, and that a rigid and
immediate supervi Sion of burial-places is imperatively
demanded, and th at the petition now read be adopted,
and that the Che irman of this meeting, B. B. Cab-
bell, Esq., be ret pectfully requested to present it to
the House of Con imons, and to support the prayer
thereof."
Mr. J. 11. SITV ENS, in seconding the resolution,
expressed a hope that cemeteries as well as grave-
yards would be at tbjected to a strict supervision, be-
cause under the pi .esent system, being private com-
panies,
they wonlal have the power, in the event of
the abolition of the old
