SIR JONAH BARRINGTON.—We are re-
quested to state that the report _of the death of Sir Jonah
Barrington, which we copied from an evening contempo-
rary, is unfounded. as eldest brother, Sir John Barring-
ton, died lately in France ; but the Ex .Juice continues in
the enjoyment of good health.—Datthr Paper.
The Consol-market is firm, with occasional
slight fluctuations, but on the whole with a tendency to
advance. Money continues abundant, and the effect of it
is much increased by large accumulation in the hands of
the East India Ceimpany. It is anticipated from this state
of things, rather than from any positive information on
the subject, that Lord Althorp will in the course of the
present session bring forward a measure for the reduction
of the 4 per Cents., in which there would not he any
difficulty, and the small amount of that stock, which is
under 12,000,0001., renders the proceeding less objec-
tionable with a party here, who condemn all such reduc-
tions as throwing a large surplus capital on the market,
which, for want of employment, is driven into all extra-
vagant schemes and undertakings. The dissentient, in
regard to a conversion into stock of a lower dawn ination,
could comprise a very large portion of the holders of tha 4
per Cents., and it strikes all practical men as an incsn-
gruity that merchants and bankers of credit raise money
at 21 or 3 per cent. while the Government is paying 4
per cent.— Times.
THE DILEMMA OF ST. PANCRAS PARISH.
—On Saturday a meeting of St. Pancras Vestry took
place. Mr. Russell, churchwarden, in the chair. Mr.
Scadding, the Vestry Clerk, said that a deputation bad
waited on Lord Althorp respecting the financial difficulties
of the parish. His lordship stated that he was willing to
lend the parish .5,000/. on the personal security of the
directors of the poor. This offer was declined, and his
lordship had since refused to advance any sum upon the
security of the poor-rate, the legality of which was ques-
tioned.—Mr. Murphy moved a vote of censure upon flit
Ministers, which was carried.—To supply the wants of
the poor until the next rate can he collected, several gen-
tlemen put down their names, offering loans, without in-
terest, to the vestry, which were accepted.

One Thousand Shares will be issued without a pre-
mium : all premiums on the remaining Shares to be for
the benefit of tile Company.
Holders of five shares, qualified to be Director., Trus•
tees, or Auditors. The Treasurer not to hold fewer than
fifty shares.
Subscribers to be entitled to one vote for every share ;
whether at general or ordinary meetings, or among the
Directors. Voting is allowed by proxy given to a share-
holder. The appointment may be general.
The number of Directors, all honorary, will be 24 ;
whereof three will go out annually after the first general
meeting in the year 1636.
Three Directors form a quorum for the despatch of bu-
siness, and the proceedings must be confirmed at a subse-
quent meeting.
To secure the Company from debt, every contract shall
be a personal contract with the Treasurer, under sanction
of the Directors ; every other contract will be void.
Subscriptions will be payable as follows :
At the time of subscribing, 5/. per share ; 21. 103. per
half share.

First Instal' tent on the 25th of March, 1934, 51. per
share; 21. His. per half share.
Second Instalment on the Sth of July, 5/. per share;
2/. 10s. per half share.
Third Instalment on the 15th of October, 21. 10s. per
share; I/. ss. per half share.
Fourth Instalment on the 15th of January, 1835,
31. 10s. per share; 1/. 15e. per half share.
It is intended to expend the whole, or nearly the whole
of the capital during the year 1834, in the purchase of the
said site of ground, timber and buildings; in making
effectual drainage, in further enclosing the ground where
needed, and in constructing Chapels for the Church of
England Service and the use of these dissenting from her
forms.

The price to the public of a double grave in perpetuity
to hold not fewer than 10 coffins, will be 251. Of a single
grave in perpetuity, to hold not less than 5 coffins, twelve
guineas. But the directors with a view to meet the wishes
of perhaps a numerous class of subscribers, anxious to
promote this measure, have resolved that within a limited
period, original subscribers may transfer a share in value
211. and become in lieu thereof entitled to a double grave
in perpetuity of the said value of 251.: and in like manner
they will issue half shares of 10 guineas each, that each
subscriber may, at lila option, re-tr ,nster such halt share,
and have in perpetuity a single grave of the value of 12
guinea,, without being at a limited time required to snake
any monumental structure.
This National Work is intended to be further beautified
and rendered available by means of loans without interest,
and by Public Donations. The entrance into The
Temple Church' has been admired as an appropriate de-
sign for the exhibition of monumental sculpture, and it
will probably be a model for one of the funeral chapels.
The distant western boundary is a very appropriate site for
alms houses.

Syphilis and other frequently fatal complaints, to be
worthy of the highest encomiums, and justly deserving
the serious attention of all those persons who may unfor-
tunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The
luminous views taken of these diseases, together with the
important warnings against excesses, entitle this work to
great praise; and we may add, as ;,a farther recommen-
dation, that it is written with much delicacy and antra-
Uty,".—ltispector and Literary Review.

The number of burials annually in London, is upwards
of Forty Thousand. Toe most casual observer can per-
ceive how much new places of sepulture are required, in
the visibly overcrowded state of all the Illetropolitan
burial grounds. In London, sites for burial cannot be
obtained. His Majesty's Commissioners for buildina New
Churches, &c., found this to be the case. Armed with
power and the Resou, ces of a Government, they could not
obtain sites whereon to build the new churches, until they
had pledged themselves not to appropriate contiguous open
spaces for burial. There seemed indeed, to be a general
determination on the part of the landed Proprietors to re-
sist the creation of new metropolitan church-yards.

" Trevelyan,' the new work by the author of
' A Marriage in High is one of the most touching
and beautiful fictions that we have met with for a long
time. The interest of the story-rests upon feelings deve-
loped with equal truth and pathos—feelings that all have
more or less experienced, and hence awakening general
sympathy. It is difficult, by any quotation, to give an
idea of a story which is so closely coun••cted together and
graceful ; as the style is all thit can he shown in a de-
tached extract—that is only the setting of the attractive
narrative. We cannot but point attention to the portrAt
of Miss Trevelyan—it is as original it is delicately
sketched. We feel persuaded ' Trevelyan' will be a uni-
v<rsal favourite."--Literary Gazette.

Mr. John Madox who, a quarter of a cen-
tury ago, was the delight of all the convivial, witty, and
eccentric societies in London, by whom be was generally
d signated the facetious Jack Madox, left England •oon
aft-r the peace, and has been travelling ever since to the
regret of his old friends and companions, whom be left be-
hind him. From Italy Mr. Madox extended his excur-
sions to the Holy Land, Egypt, Nubia, &c , and the
unfrequented district of the Haouran, the result of which
he has just presented to the public. It is not surprising
that his social qu dities procured him everywhere a cordial
reception ; and, whether in company with the ferocious
Turk; the treacherous Greek, or the predatory Arai) of the
Desert, his equanimity of temper and bonhommie concili-
wed the respect and won the friendship of all. His vo-
lumes are unique in their way.

Shocked by the frequent excavation of burial grounds,
the time is not far distant when the thinking public wid
wholly discontinue to bury in London. The expense is
enormous, the tenure precarious, anti the consecrated
sanctuaries of the dead cease to afford security for perma-
/rent repose. Within the last ten years seven or eight
church-yards in this metropolis have been wholly excavated,
and as many churches demolished, and the remains carted
out without rite, or ceremony.

Some parishes have no burial-ground belonging to
them, other parishes have only vaults for inter rnent. The
dead when buried in vaults should be secured in col This
of lead. This creates great additional expense. In up
wards of fifty vaults of the 'metropolis, the dead were
found to have been deposited in coffins of wood only,
and many of the vaults were in immediate connexion
with the church. A system more destructive of the
public heal'h can scarcely be imagined, and this owing
to the want of new, appropriate, and economical places
of burial. It is not within the means of every one to use
church vaults. Persons anxious to enter in another
parish, are subjected to pay as nonresidents, treble the
amount of fees payable by a parishioner—sometimes it is
only double. For strangers, and even lodgers, the double
or treble fees are paid, although burial takes place in the
same parish in which the party dies. The friends then
of every stranger, of every lodger, and also the parish.
ioners of parishes not having burial ground of their own,
would eagerly avail themselves of this extra urban-Ce-
metry.

The contemplated arrangements will be so accomplished
es to obtain the freehold of the premises and complete the
cemetery, at a cost not exceeding the fixed capital. The
public will, therefore, be accommodated on a plan uniting
utility with economy, and the profit to subscribers will be
considerable and obvious.
Thus parishes are at. once provided with the means of
burial, without a parochial tax, and at less charges than
if the parties had bought their own ground. St. Giles
was burdened with a burial rate for upwards of twenty
five years, and St. Marylebone parish expended upwards of
36,0001. on their Cemetery of les; thon six acres!!!

An elector had frequently been applied to by
the canvassers of both parties, to give his vote in favour of
their respective candidates, and, on one occasion, a coach
was actually taken to the door to convey him to the poll.
The taste of the worthy elector, however, differed most
materially from that of his companions and neighbours.
'lt he went to the poll, he must have a conveyance more
adapted to his dignity—it was absolutely necessary for
him that the public attention should he aroused, and that
all eyes should be fixed upon him on his way. He would
not go to the polling booth unless he was taken in a
wheelbarrow ! A wheelbarrow was accordingly hastily
provided, but it was minus one of its sides—no, it would
not do, no broken down concern could be endured, a com-
plete wheelbarrow or no vote! At length the eccentr e
desire was granted, a perfect affair was brought, one m.n
took the shafts, several more were harnessed to the front,
the triumphal procession moved on amidst general accla-
mations, Sir John Beckett obtained another vote, and tl,e
elector enjoyed the desire of his heart. —Halifax Express.
DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF THE
UNION.—A petition, something like the well-known
" Leinster Declaration," is now in course of signature in
Waterford, with the corporation of which it is understood
t., have originated. It is stated that similar petitions are
in contemplation in other pins of the country. The
Waterford Union petition is worded as follows :—" The
petition of the undersigned citizens and inhabitants of the
city of Waterford showeth—That your petitioners, deeply
Impressed with sincere and earnest attachment to the inti-
mate connexion which subsists between the component
parts of the British empire, and zealously desirous of its
lone and happy continuance, feel ourselves imperiously
called upon to declare- to your honourable house our de-
cided conviction that the maintenance of the legislative
union, and its consolidation by every practical means, are
essentially necessary to the power, stability, and happiness
of the United Kingdom. While thus expressing to your
honourable house an unbiassed opinion on this great sub-
ject, we desire to add our earnest prayers that the legisla-
ture may, .by the correction of abuses where they exist, by
diminution of public burdens where they press heavily,
and by the extension of great and solid improvements,
continue to add to the comforts and happiness of the
people, and thus consolidate and strengthen the power and
4 security of the whole empire,"

OF THE COMMISSIONERS.

a Common Councilman of Queen-
the Commissioners to suspend their
.eeting of the Guntron Council which
ras about to be called, in consequence of a requisition that
-tad been that day signed by they, and which would be
aid before the Lord Mavo;.

➢lr. Commissioner ELLIS promised that they would
impend their report for at le 04 for a fortnight.

ABATTOIRS.
Mr. Scales gave evidence up.,n the subject of Smithfield
%fat ket. He expressed his opinion that the present
narket was most inconvenient, and that if a site could be
diosen in the suburbs for the holding of it the change
would be greatly advantageous, not only to the dealers
'tat to the public at large. The butchers were decidedly
pposed to any plan which would compel them to slaughter
it any particular time or place.
Mr. Commissioner DitINKIVATER—It is not your opi-
nion, then, that these establishments are desirable?
Mr. Scales had travelled over and seen the slaughter-
'ioties.of England, Ireland, and Scotland, of Germany,
Portugal, and France, but he could not find in them any
if those particular benefits which he had so frequenly
heard described. Many of them were ill-contrived, and
oil of them most horrible, filthy, and disgusting places.
Mr.Woodthorpe said that there were still three market-
days for. Smithfield—Monday, Thursday, and Friday; and
that the Chairman of the City Lands bad reported, only
so late as Wednesday last, the unanimous opinion of the
Qmmittee that, by the arrangements which the Court of
Aldertnen had made to prevent carts passing throuch the
market, aided by the judicious exertions of the police.
Smithfield had been so much improved as to be now
excellently calculated for every purpose of business.
Mr. Stubbings had been 35 years in the trade, and had
never known the use. of " goads." In his opinion Smith-
field was now excellently suited to its object.
Mr. Woodthorpe said the use of " goads" was allowed
by the Court of Aldermen. At one time he thought of
replying to the observations of Mr. Scales ; but after what
he had beard be really thought it hest to take no notice
of them. but let the public judge for themselves.
The Commissioners then declared the inquiry into the
state of the corporation closed, and the court adjourned.
It it understood that the commissioners have not yet
determined upon what day they shall proce.-d with the in-
quiry into the state of the different companies.
* We were informed by a member of the Common Council
that the requisition was laid before the Lord Mayor, and that
his lordship, after having perused it, informed the requisi-
tionists that he should have the honour of addressing a note to
Mr. Curtis (the Chirman of the meeting on the subject of this
application.

REFORM IN THE CORPORATION OF
THE CITY OF LONDON.

A meeting of about thirty members of the Court of
Common Council, convened by a circular from Mr. C.
Pearson, was held on Saturday morning at the Guildhall,
to take such preliminary steps as might be deemed ad-

REMARKABLE RESTORATION..-- About
twenty-six years ago, a lady residing in the country, tnis-
!ail or dropped from her hand a valuatile mourning ring,
which she could not by any means trace or recover. and
the respected ornament was in course of time given up for
lost. From the sequel it would appear that the ring had
been swept out to the street and carried to the fields in a
dung cart. This is apparent from the circumstance, that
a boy, while gathering potatoes last year, in the vicinity
of the lady's former residence, found the ring, and her
❑ame being engraved upon it, he took it to the proprietor
of the land, who caused it to he sent to the owner, now.
residing in Edinburgh. The ring is no way injured by
its long embedding in the earth, except that the enamel is
a little worn off..—sEdinburylt Paper.
