LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1851.

lucid statement of Mr. MILNER Ginsori—a statement
which almost rendered further inquiry unnecessary,
for it must have brought conviction to every dis-
interested and unprejudiced mind, and shown the pro-
priety of the point at issue being promptly and grace •
fully conceded. The simple question to be answered
was this, why should Manchester be placed in a dif-
ferent position from every other district in the
United Kingdom ? Why should it alone be com-
pelled, not only to pay the enormous duties levied on
the various articles brought into consumption in the
populous and influential localities by which it is sur-
rounded, but also the expense of collecting those duties,
of the entire staff of Custom-house officers, which the
Board may be pleased to consider necessary ? It is
true that the amount is not very large, the total ex-
pense being only 2,503/. Gs. 2d., for which 319,33.5/.
198. 2d. was brought into the Exchequer; or, in
other words, the cost being only 16s. 9d. per cent.,
while the average cost throughout the entire kingdom
averages 5/. 19s. 6d., and in some of the favoured
districts that are still maintained, several hundred
per cent. For instance, at Guernsey eleven persons
were engaged at an expense of 8201.195. 6d. per annum,
the total amount of gross revenue received during the
year 1849 being 21. ss. 6d., or if there had been a
fair division of labour, the work of each individual
being the receipt of 4s. Ip. The case of Jersey
was not quite so bad, for there only ten officers were
employed at an expense of 8181. ss. Bd., while they
actually received 51. 184. 11d. There are other cases
in England, Wales, and Scotland, which although
not quite as glaring, are yet sufficiently bad.
We select the following from a return ordered by the
House of Commons in March last, on the motion of
Mr. ARCHIBALD HASTIE

calculated to remove a considerable portion of the
danger arising out of the indiscriminate employment
of the intramural system of interment. Yet notwith-
standing this specious appearance of merit on the part
of the Bill relating to burials around the metropolis,
it may not possibly be forgotten by our readers that
we proclaimed its insufficiency as a means of
securing any appreciable improvement. Ample op-
portunities have since then been afforded through
which the community might test the real value or
worthlessness of this boasted innovation. Hare our
assertions in its regard been verified, we ask, or
otherwise ? We leave the records of the capital in
reference to its mortality or to its interments to re-
spond. What the answer is we need not by any
means specify. It is visible on the very surface of
our metropolitan arrangements. It is perceptible on
the weekly calculations printed in the periodical bills of
mortality. Recognizing this at a glance, it becomes in-
cumbent on the Parliament to interpose in behalf of
the citizens of London and Westminster, and by so
doing to relieve itself from the odium of its miserable
and abortive effort at improvement. What is re-
quired is easily to be ascertained. Among other
things it is by so means wanted to compensate the
clergy, as the Legislature would really seem to ima-
gine. Compgmate them, forsooth ! The notion is
altogether derogatory to the character of the religion
of which the! profess to be the priesthood—
a religion tha: does not instruct its promoters
to draw their revenues from the death of
the faithful, or from the calamities of the multitude.
It would really sppear from the wording of the mea-
sure referred to as if the Parliament regarded the
clergymen of the Church of England as so many
ghouls fattening upon the corpses of their fellow-
creatures, and therefore requiring some compensation
when deprived of this loathsome and ghastly nutri-
ment. Away mith such hideous and detestable no-
tions as these, tley are injurious to the age in which
we live, and derogatory to the divine and celestial
principles of Christianity. +
