An Act having passed in the last session of Parliament, by which
Intramural Interments are, in so far as the metrop Hs is concerned,
permanently prohibited, the public have reas n to regret that such
legislative interference, the necessity for which is so clearly indi-
cated in the Report of the Board of Health, has not, owing to un-
avoidable circumstances, been followed up by remedies calculated,
by their promptitude, vigour, and extent, to give effect to the re-
quirements of the A .t.

In this state of suspense and inactivity, the promoters of this Com-
pany, feeling that the same spirit of individual enterprise which has
effected such grand and beneficial results in the construction o other
works of national importance and utility, maybe properly and advan-
tageously applied to this comprehensive work of Sanitary Ameliora-
tion, have ventured to promulgate their plan, which they confidently
trust will be found eminently calculated to give immediate and com-
plete effect to those requirements.
Brprcisidinglrftlettopolitan and National Necropolis at
such a distance from tge metropolis as public health and coirtirot
nience require, upon tileale, of- -magnitude commensurate with the
ancual mortality of a rapidly increasing population, and capable of
meeting the exigencies of unwonted visitations of disease.
Secondly. By the selection of a site susceptible of the highest orna-
mental characteristic adornment, "fulfilling," to use the words of
the Board of Health, " all the requisite concitions of situation, dis-
tance, surface, soil, and accessibility," and capable of furnishing
separate graves for no less than twenty millions of bodies.
Thirdly. By providing an approach to this she for the trans •
mission of the Dead, and the conveyance and return of Mourners,
upon such,terms, and under such provisions as will render the per-
formance of the solemn funeral duties, alike delicate, decent, se-
cluded, and economical, without violating " the highway of the
river," the resort of most of those who seek relaxation and recreation,
mental and corporeal, during all the time when such highway is
available, and without mingling the lighthearted and the distressed,
the healthy and the victims of disease, the living and the dead, in one
indiscriminate voyage.
Fourthly. By the reservation of separate and distinct localities,
the whole forming parts of one great and comprehensive Cemetery
plan, by which the several Metropolitan Parishes will preserve, not
only the individuality of their burial places, but, with it, that con-
trol which will insure economy, seclusion, and propriety in the
arrangement of those interments, which have hitherto and still will
come under their management.

To effect these objcct;the Company have obtained Two Thousand
Acres of land at Woking Common, on the line of the E outh-Western
Railway, by which it can be approached, from one of the most central
and convenient Termini in the Metropolis, in forty minutes, being
less than the time required, in most cases, to reach the 3,etrepolitan
Cemeteries.

----
The purchase-money for this land, and of certain alleged interests
therein, amounts to the sum of 57,0001., with a contingent claim
upon the surplus, after the payment of all expenses, and of JO/. per
cent. to the Shareholders.

They have, moreover, made arrangements with the Directors
of that Company for the suitable deposit and separate transmission
of bodies, and for the conveyance and return of mourners, under cir-
cumstances which will enable the C ,mpany to preterit to the Public a
permanent tariff of charges, not only more economical than those
which any other Board, not having the advantage of a comparatively
inexpensive site, can present, but even below those which now con-
stitute the expenses of interment within the walls.
The statistics of mortality for five years, within the Metropolitan
Burial District, show an annual average of 54,993 deaths, being
1,051 weekly, and 151 daily, whilst the existing suburban cemete-
ries are precluded from receiving more than 18,000 corpses annually,
leaving no provision for the interment of 36,993 bodies, but in paro-
ch•al church-yards and private burial-grounds, where the same are
allowed to be open
The Company will, in their Act of Incorporation, preparations
for obtaining which are now making, bind themselves to the tariff
I.ld down by them; the detai's of which nccess,trily require, under
such a pledge, the most minute and critical examination, which they
are now undergoing, and will be submitted at the earliest possible
period. They n ill, moreover, make du • reservation of the rights of
the clergy and all concerned, and will arrange that the proper
parochial authorities shall, at the expense of the Company, have an
opportunity of ascertaining periodically the fidelity and propriety
ith which the arrantements of the company are carried out.

The sum of One Shilling per Share will be payable on the inscrip-
tion Of the xames of the shareholders on the Register, and the re-
mainder will be called for by instalments, not exceeding 2/. each, s 4
intervals not less than Three months, with One Month's notice ; it
being one of the peculiar features of this undertaking that the outlay
will necessarily be, in a great measure, progressive and only com-
mensurate with the requirements of the Public, and with this object
the Directors reserve to themselves the power to commence and
carry on their works before the full a count of capital is subscribed.
More detailed information may be obtained, upon application to
the Solicitors, or to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company,
16A, Great George-street, Westminster.
