THE GREAT SOLAR ECLIPSE
It is impossible to over-rate the interest which men of all
classes appear to take in the forthcoming phenomenon; millions of
eyes will be directed to the one great object ' • every telescope in the
parts of the world where the eclipse will be visible must he in re-
quest ; pails of water, smoked glasses and coloured ones, everything
that can assist the sight by reflection or refraction, will be occupied
by the different classes, from the philosopher to the schoolboy. There
has not been such a sensation created since the building of the Great
Clothes Mart of E. MOSES and SON. Then, as now, for days be-
fore the opening, it was in everybody's mouth, and public curiosity
was on tiptoe ; nor will the surprise and gratification felt at the
eclipse of the sun be greater than the astonishment of the public the
first time the doors of the Mart were thrown open. Its fame spread
far and wide, until it was talked of east, west, north, and south, in
all qm,rters of the globe. At this time there is such a display of
fashion at the Monarch Mart, that everything of the kind is
ECLIPSED. E. MOSES and SON have ECLIPSED everybody
who has attempted a show of dress. Every article of theirs is per-
fect; all, in fact, that can be wished by the most fastidious man of
fashion is there in perfection, while hundreds of the best tailors in
Europe are ready to make anything to measure in an incredibly short
time. But Messrs. E. MOSES and SON cannot too earnestly assure
their friends that the article& in stock are in all respects the same jl,

quality of material, neatness and darability4,..tasti-an4-43esisrniita
same as if made to meaSure, and-tbat.thEonly reason fir charging
more is the-making Singly instead of making a hundred or more at a
time ; so that if a gentleman happens to fit himself from the stock,
he has equally a first-rate article.

THE CENSUS FOR 1851.

From the summaries of the 40,000 enumerators em-
ployed in taking the census a series of tables have been
compiled, and presented to both Houses of Parliament,
showing the population and houses in the divisions,
registration counties, and districts of England and Wales,
in the counties, cities, and burghs of Scotland, and in

;►ae Islands in the British Seas.
The various accounts from which the whole has been

compiled have not yet undergone final revision; but, as
we are preliminarily informed, no errors sufficient to in-
validate the fair inferences to be drawn from these
figures need be feared—careful scrutiny will only detect
minute inaccuracies.,

From this interesting and important document it would
appear that the population of Great Britain and of the
Islands in the British Sea% as enumerated on March
31st, 1851, was 20,936,468; and that the part of the
army, navy, and merchant service belonging to Great
Britain, but out of the country when the census was
taken, has been estimated from returns to have been
167,604; that of the total number of these persons,
21,104,072, 10,360,325 (including the 167,604 absent
soldiers and sailors) were males, the remaining
10,743 747 females; and the preponderance of females
over males 383,422.
The actual increase in the intervals of the censuses
between 1801 and the present year has been steady, and,
till within the last interval, progressive. The total in-
crease in Great Britain and the Islands in the British
Seas, for these fifty years, has been 10,317,917—that
from 1841-51 being 2,227,438; for 1841.41, ,260,749;_
for 1an:3,11,,241,11‘542c-for 1114-91r2e182,89(iffor
11, 1,479,562. The population (thus nearly doubled)
numbered, therefore, in 1801, it will be seen, 10,567,893
souls, whereas it now counts 20,936,468. This result is
somewhat, but not materially, disturbed, by some varia-
tions at the different periods in the mode of enumerating
the army and navy. Females, of course, such circum-
stances do not affect, and the actual increase in their
number during the fifty years under review is said to
have been 5,198 063, whilst that of males is computed at
5,119,854. The proportion maintained between the
sexes has fluctuated considerably at the different periods
quoted; from 1801-11, for instance, the increase of males
was 710,922, that of females, 768,640. In the next
period the scale is turned, and against an increase of
males of 1,137,804 we have that of females 995,092.
There were in 1801 in Great Britain and the Islands in
the British Seas 5,025,035 males, 5,542,856 females.
There were on March 31, 1851, excluding the absent
soldiers and sailors mentioned above, 10,192,721 males,
10,743,747 females. The rate of increase per cent. for
the entire population for fifty years has therefore bean
98 per cent.; the annual rate of increase per cent. in
fifty years, 1,37.
Of the whole number (20,936,468) thus enumerated
on 31st March last, England and Wales contained
17,922,768 persons; Scotland, 2,870,784; and the Islands
in the British Seas, 142,916. In each the number of
females is greater than that of males. In England and
Wales there were, at the enumeration, houses inhabited,
3,280,961; in Scotland, 366,650; in Islands in the British
Seas, 21,826; uninhabited in England and Wales,
152,896; in Scotland, 11,956; Islands in the British Seas,
1,077; building in England and Wales, 26,534; Scotland,
2,378; Islands in the British Seas, 202.
Coming next to "divisions" and "registration coun-
ties," the reader is somewhat puizled at the alteration
here made in the position of the local landmarks on
which he has been accustomed to rely. The registra-
tion counties, for instance, comprise groups of registra-
tion districts generally conterminous with poor-law
unions; consequently the aggregates of such districts
seldom correspond with the precise boundaries of the
actual counties. According to these arrangements, the
enumeration at Bristol—which is included in one division
—occasions some surprise till viewed by that of Bedmin-
ster, which is placed in another; the apparent inconsist-
ency then disappears. First, then, in the London division,
including parts of Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent, we have
enumerated, for 1851, 2,361,640 persons, 1,103,730 of them
males, 1,257,910 females. Of this total male and female,
Middlesex (part of) supplies the largest proportion,
1,745,095; Surrey (part of) the next, 482,310; and Kent
(part of) the third, 134,235. The London division, in
1801, contained 958,863 souls, and there has been an in-
crease of 1,394,963 between that time and the present.
The rate of increase during the five decennial periods
which it includes has not fluctuated to any remarkable
extent. For the half century it has been 145.51; annual,
I'Bl.

- -
The South-Eastern Division, made up of Surrey (ex-
tra metropolitan), Kent (extra metropolitan), Sussex,
Hampshire, and Berkshire, contained a population in
1801 of 878,066; in 1851, 1,619,351; the increase,
741,295; and the rate of increase for the half century,
84.42.
The South Midland Division—consisting of Middlesex
t
(extra metropolitan), Hertfordshire, B i ckingliamshire,
Oxforrishire, Northamptonshlrv, Huntin onshire; Bedv
fordibiii, and Cambridgeshire—which i 1801 numbered
707,322 persons, increased its population in the halt
century by 526,560, and at the rate of 74'44 in the fifty
years.
The Eastern Division—Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk—pro-
grassed at the rate of increase for the half century of
59.68, its population growing from 696,223 to 1,111,701,
an addition of 415,478 during that period.
The South- Western Division—Wiltshire, Dorsetshire,
Devonshire, Cornwall, Somersetabire—enumerating in
1801 a population of 1,100,314, shows now a difference of
697,938, having mounted up in the interval to 1,798,252,
the rate of increase for the half century 63.43.
The West Midland Division—Gloucestershire, Here-

fordshire. Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
Warkwickshire—advancing in the fifty years at the
rate of 95'65, has now a population of 2,131,604, where,
in 1801, it numbered only 1,089,491. The difference is
1,042,113.
The North Midland Division—Leicestershire, Rut-

landshire, Lincolnshire, Notts, Derbyshire—with a popu-
lation in 1801 of 651,197, and an increase since then of
562,791, has at present 1,213,988; the rate of increase
for the period 86.42.
The North-Western Division—Cheshire and Lanca-
shire—by an addition of 1,609,722, has prbgressed from
872,663 to 2,482,385; the rate of increase in the fifty
years being 184.46.
The York Division—West Riding, East Riding (with
York), North Riding—advancing at the rate of 10916
in the half century, adds 934,397 to its population of
1801, and has now 1,785,680.
The Northern Division—Durham, Cumberland, West-
moreland—shows an increase for the fifty years at the
rate of 98.47—a population of 485,347 having grown
into one of 963,277; difference, 477,930.
The Welsh Division—Monmouthshire, South Wales,
North Wales—has now a population of 1,183,517, and
had in ]BOl one of 601,767. The increase has been
581,750; and the rate of increase 96'67.
Coming next to the sub-divisions, of which these
divisions are made, we find that in the London divi-
sion—

Middlesex (part of) had in 1801 a population of
746,718, and has now one of 1,739,902. Surrey (part
of) had then 161,642; has now 4E0,472. Kent (part of)
had then 50,503; has now 133,452.
In the South-Eastern division, Surrey (extra metro-
politan) has, in the half-century, advanced from a popu-
lation of 109,561. to ono of 202,495; Kent (extra metro-
politan), from 258,450 to 480,794; Sussex, from 161,306
to 338,877; Hampshire, from 217,741 to 398,041; Berke,
from 131,008 to 199,154.

In the South-Midland division, Middlesex (extra me-
tropolitan) has a population of 150,615, where half a
century ago it had 77,582; Hefts, 173,963, instead of
101,802; Bucks, 143,670, instead of 95,827; Oxford-
shire, 170,286, instead of 112,194; Northamptonshire,
213,784, instead of 128,245; Huntingdonshire, 60,320,
instead of 34,704; Beds, 129,789, instead of 66,176;
Cambridgeshire, 191,455, instead of 90,702.
In the Eastern division, Essex, in 1801, containing
201,408 persons. has now 342,785; Suffolk then 214,690,
now 335,704; Norfolk, then 271,125, now 433,212.
In the South-Western division, Wilts has in the fifty

years increased its population from 173,906 to 241,003,
Dorset from 109,646 to 177,294, Devon from 343,223 to
568, 623, Cornwall from 193,039 to 355,223, Somerset

roria 281,500 to 456,109.

In the West Midland division, Gloucestershire num-
bers now 418,226; in 1801, 228,895 ; Herefordshire now
99,112, then 75,260 ; [ Shropshire, now 245,019, then
182,695 Staffordshire, now 258,762, then 132,423 ;
Warwickshire, now 479,979, then 216,135.
In the North Midland division, the population of Lei-
cestershire has advanced from 133,975 to 234,931 ; of
Rutlandshire, from 18,311 to 24,272 ; of Lincolnshire,
from 205,340 to 399,633 ; of Notts, from 152,573 to
294,438; of Derbyshire, from 140,998 to 260,707.
In the North-Western division, Cheshire, which in
1801 enumerated 189,411, has now 423,356 ; Lanca-
shire, which then numbered 683,252, has experienced
an increase of 1,375,777, and contains now 2,059,029.
In the Yorkshire division, too, the growth has been
considerable. The West Riding has added 762,977 to a
population which, in 1801, amounted to 576,336 ; the
East Riding (with York) from 127,241 has advanced to
252,001. The North Riding increasing 147,706 by
46,660, enumerates now 194,366.
The Northern division shows considerable progress.
Durham in 1801 showing 159,161, shows now 408,896;
Northumberland has changed 168,078 for 301,205;
Cumberland, less rapid in its strides, has moved on from
117,230 to 194,803; and Westmoreland adds 17,495 to
the 40.878 which it numbered fifty years ago.
The Welsh division gives some more surprising re-
sults. Monmouthshire from 54,750, has advanced to
176 276; South Wales has more than doubled its popu-
lation, 299,644 having become 604,022; and North
Wales nearly doubled its numbers, 247,373 being
changed for 403,219. As the general result of these
calculations, we found that the population of England
and Wales enumerated on March the 10th, 1801, and
the few following days, was 8,892,536; the population of
England and Wales enumerated on March 31, 1851, ex-
clusive of persons sleeping in vessels, was 17,877,473;
the difference, 8,984,937, is given as the increase. The
population of 1801 is exclusive of the army, navy, and
merchant men; the population of 1851 includes the army
in England, under the several counties in which the sol-
diers slept or abode on the night of March 30. Conse-
quently the increase may be somewhat over stated.
The population of the various districts in 1841 and
1851 is next recorded. In Kensington there were in
1841, 74,898 persons, there are now 119,980; in Pan-
cras there are now 167,198, there were then 129,969;

[PRICE SD.

in Shoreditch, 83,564 the then population has grown,
in the ten years' interval, to 109,209; whilst in Stepney
there has been an increase of the difference between
90,831, and 110,669. Lambeth, which in 1841 num-
bered its 116' 072 souls, counts now 139,240; but Green-
wich shows a less increase, only substituting in 1851,
99,404, for the 81,125 population which it exhibited ten
years before.

Epsom shozs ts slight increase, 17,245, having become
19,043.

Gravesend gives proof of but little advance, ten years
hs only altered the number of its population from 15,670
to 16,635.
Tunbridge, from 23,817, has got on to 28 560; Dover
from 24,523 to 28,324; and Hastings from 14 536 to
21,214. Brighton has made no inconsiderable increase,
46,661 it had in 1841; bat now it hes 65,573, 36,612 of
whom are females. Portsea island, containing 53,058
in 1841, numbers now a population of 72,676. South-
ampton, which had then 26,103, has now 34,092. In
Reading there are 22,175 inhabitants, where there were
19,591; in Brentford 41,305, where there were 37,053.
Royston, which in 1841 had 24,930 inhabitants', has in
the present year 26,356; and Hitchin, which then had
22,346, has now 24,732. Buckingham has very slightly
progressed, 14,239 having only grown to 14,412; Ox-
ford, instead of 19,667, has 20,173 to exhibit; North-
ampton's 28,121 is at present 33,858 ; Huntingdon's
18,432 have in ten years become 20,900; Bedford, from
31,766, has moved on to 35,511; Cambridge from 24,453
to 27,803 ; Wisbeacb, from 31,405 to 36,192 ; West
Ham, in 1841, enumerating 26,920 persons, numbers
-13.0 W 34,378; Bury St. Edmund's, wi;ere it gave 12,538,
gives 13,902. Yarmouth, with a population of 24,086,
in 1841, has increased since to 26,898; Salisbury, which
in 1841 contained 9,490, has now only 8,931 ; and
Shaftesbury has, but very slightly, in like manner
decreased from 13,106 to 13,028. Beaminster has lost
some of its population, the difference between 15,112
and 14,275. Axminster has also gone down to some
extent, 20,302 being its present population, 20,583
what it numbered in 1841. Honiton has sunk
a little, from 23,892 to 23,824. In Plymouth, East
Stonehouse, and Stoke Damerel, whose returns are
given separately, we find that the numbers are
respectively, in 1841, 36,520, 9,712, and 33,820 ; in
1851, 52,223, 11,971, and 38,182. The population of the
Scilly Islands, which was 2,582, is 2,627; that of Bed-
minster, which was 36,280, is 38,171; that of Bristol,
which was 64,266, is 6i,781. Hereford, instead of 34,458,
gives, as the ten years' augmentation, a total of 35,158;
and Shrewsbury, for 21,518, has substituted 23,095. Staf-
ford, from 20,292, has advanced to 22,785; West Brom-
wich, from 62,578 to 69,718; Stourbridge, from 47,929, to
57,360. In Birmingham the population has become
173,878, where it was 135,215; in Leicester, 50,853 has
been converted into 60,651; Oakham, which had 11,218,
has 11,508; Lincoln, which had 36,110, has 42,061;
Nottingham returns 58,418, its number in 1841 having
been 53,091; Derby 43,690, its number at the same
period having been 35,019. In Stockport, 85,673 has
been increased to 90,205; in Wirrall, 31,784 to 57,047.
Liverpool makes its 223,003 into 255,055, West Derby its
88,680 into 153,243. Lancaster's advance is but small-
from 34,605 to 34,660. Goole's also, is disproportionate
to the expectations of many-from 12,529 to 13,916.
York has 57,111, where it had 47,778; Darling-
ton, 21,617, where it had 21,487. In Newcastle-
upon•Tyne the population has increased from 71,844 to
89,145; in Carlisle, from 38,159 to 41,566; in Kendal,
from 34,832 to 36,564; Abergavenny, instead of 50,845,
has 59,225; Swansea, instead of 38,649, 40,951. The
advance of Llanelly is from 20,182 to 23,104; that of
Haverfordwest from 37,139 to 39,382. Cardigan enu-
merates 20,179-in 1841 it had 19,903; Brecknock 18,182
-in 1841 it had 17,701. Presteigne gives only 15,140
where it gave 15,739; Llanfyllin only 19,506 where it
had 20,450. Holywell has 41,053, instead of 40,798;
Wrexham, 42,295, instead of 39,558. Dolgelly's popula-
tion has sunk from 13,411 to 12,915; Bangor's has
risen from 25,901 to 30,805; that of Anglesey, which in
1841, was 38,106, has risen since to 43,248.
Such are the more interesting and instructive facts of
the census, so far as regards England and Wales.
Coming next to Scotland, we learn that its population,
which, in 1801, numbered 1,608,420 smile, has, in the 50
years following, increased to 2,865,421, the difference
being 1,257,001. In 1801 the females were in the ma-
jority-869,829 to 739,091; their increase has been
greater than that of the males-637,679 to 619,322;
and consequently, in 1851, the proportion maintained is
1,507,008 females to 1,358,413 males. 71 is the rate of
increase per cent. in the 50 years for the whole popula-
tion-84 per cent. for the males, and 73 per cent, for the
females.

Descending to the southern counties, it will be seen
that Dumfriesshire has now a population of 78,025,
which is an increase since 1801 of 23,426 ; Kirkcud-
bright, now 43 274, increase 14,063 ; Wigtonshire, now
41,109, 20,t91 ; Ayrshire, row 188,524, in-
crease 104,317 ; Butes sire, now 16,547, increase 4,756 ;
Renfrewshire, now 158,651, increase 80,150 ; Dumbar-
tonshire, now 44,724, increase 24,014; Lanarkshire, now
530,989, increase 383,297 ; Stirlingshire, now 85,556,
increase 34,731 ; Linlithgowshire, now 29,262, increase
12,125; Edinburghshire, now 258,215, increase 135,618;
Peeblesshire, now 10,582, increase 1,847 ; Selkirkihire,
now 9,797, increase 4,409; Roxburghshire, now 51,570,
increase 17,849 ; Berwickshire, now 36,277, increase
6,071; liaddingtonshire, now 36,387. increa;e 6,401 ;
Fifeshire, now 152,747, increase 59,004 ; Kinross-.hire,
now 8,913, increase 2,188 ; Clackmannanshire, now
22,921, increase 12,063.
In the northern counties, the progress made in the
half-century has been .-Perthshire, from 125,583 to
139.190 ; Forfarshire, from 99,053 to 174,368 ; Kin-
cardineshire, from 26,349 to 34,739 ; Aberdeenshire,
from 121,065 to 214,448 ; Banffshire, from 37,216 to
53,829 ; Elginshire, from 27,760 to 38,616 ; Nairn-
shire, from 8,322 to 9,918 ; Inverness-shire, from
72,672 to 96,166; Argyllshire, from 81.277 to 88,460 ;
Ross-and-Cromartyshire, from 56,318 to 82,564; Suth-
erlandshire, from 23,117 to 25,771 ; Caithness-shire,
from 22,609 to 38,422; Orkney and Shetland, from
46,824 to 62,159.
In the increase per cent. in the several counties for
these fifty years a considerable difference is to be
seen. Whilst the rate in Lanarkshire is 260 per cent.,
that in Argyllshire is but 9; Ayrshire is at 124 ; Dum-
bartonshire at 115, and Clackmannanshire at 111; whilst
Nairnshire is at 20; Perthshire and Sutherlandshire both

Ia Kirkcudbright the increase per cent. of males as
well as females has been 48; in Forfarshire also it has
been equal-76. In the remaining counties the increase
of females has exceeded that of males. _

Of the cities and boroughs, a few had at the time of
this years' enumeration no houses building at all-Wig-
town, New Galloway, Kirkcudbright, Renfrew, and
Linlithgow, for instance. In the same case were An-
etruther Wester, Kinghorn, Culross, and Cromarty.
Glasgow had, houses inhabited 12,006; uninhabited,
182; building, 143. The population 333,657, of whom
174,982 were females. The population of Dumfries is
stated at 11,106; that of Kirkcudbright at 2,774; Wig-
town, 2,230; Kilmarnock, 20,913; Rothesay, 7,106;

The population of the Islands in the British Seas, as
enumerated on March 31,1851, is 142,916-66,511 males,
and 76,405 females. The increase here in the thirty
years, from 1821 to 1851, is 53,408, 89,508 having rises'
to 142,916. The number of males was, in 1821, 41,733;
that of females, 47,775. By an addition of 24,778 in the
former case, and of 28,630 in the latter, the figures are
now—females, 76,405; males, 66,511. The population
of the islands is respectively—Jersey, 57,155, instead of
(as in 1821) 28,600; Guernsey, 34,645, instead of 20,827;
Man, 52,116, instead of 40,081. The general rate of in-
crease, therefore, in the thirty years has been sixty per
cent., whilst severally the rate of the three islands has
been Jersey, 100 per cent.; Guernsey, 61 per cent.; and
Man, 30 per cent. In Jersey, the increase of males has
been 102, that of females, 98 per cent., but as the females
had in 1321 a majority-15,554 to 13,056—their number
is still higher than that of the males, by the excess of
30,795 over 26,360. In Guernsey, likewise,
have increased at a higher rate per cent. upon the num-
the males
num-
bers of 1821 than have the females-64 to 60; and here,
too, they are still in the minority, as they were in 1821.
Of males there were then 9,519, and are now 15,598; of
females there were then 11,308, and are now 18,047. I
In the Isle of Man, however, the preponderance is with
the women, who have increased at the rate of 32 per
cent., while the males have advanced at 28 per cent. Thal
number of females is here 27,563; that of males, 24,553.
The gradual increase of population in these islands in
the three decennial periods since 1821, when the num-
bers were 89,508, has been shown by the difference in
each succeeding enumeration; tho first, 103,710; then,
124,040; and this year, 142,916.

nately the return of emigration from the United King-

emigrants born in Great Britain from those born in Ire-
land. The statistics show the decrease, but do not ac-
count for it.

E GREAT EXHIBITION.
Yesterday the receipts at the doors of the building
amounted to 2,8351. 65., and the number of visitors, ac-
cording to the police returns, was 58,382.
We understand that the price of season tickets is re-
duced from 34 and 2/. to 30s. and U., and that the Cotn•
mission have come to a resolution, by which the sale of
those tickets ceases on the 31st of August. As we re-
commended a few days ago, the 53. entrance fee on Sa-
turdays is to be reduced, immediately after the proro-
gation of Parliament, to 25. 6d.; but the immense crowds
that still flock to the Exhibition on the shilling days
render it in the meantime impracticable, in the view of
the Commission, to adopt measures for admitting a
larger proportion of the humbler classes than now find
their way into the Crystal Palace.

METROPOLITAN INTERMENTS ADVANCES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In the recent debate in the House of Commons
on the above subject, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
said "he wished to state the whole difficulty ;" he re-
minded the House that " what the Board of Health
thought indispensable, was, that they should be consti-
tuted a permanent body, and should have, practically,
monopoly of burials, receiving a fee for every person
dying in the metropolitan district;" that the Board of
Health " thought it necessary that they should be in
possession of all the burial-grounds in the metropolitan
district;” that "the Treasury thought that was going
Lister than was expedient, and he (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer) refused his permission"—but "'that it seemed
that the possession of one or two cemeteries would enable
the Board of Health to close the grave-yards in the me-
tropolis, and enable those whose grave-yards were closed
to obtain burying-grounds."

At the present moment there are eight perfectly
well-conducted cemeteries surrounding London, con-
taining, collectively, tvilarger extent of acreage than
the two hundred GOlgothas added together, which
in thirty years have ongulphed a million and a
half of the inhabitants. These eight cemeteries are
respectively presided -over by boards quite as com-
petent to discharge their duties, with public approbation,
as the three gentlemen who sign the " report of preli-
minary proceedings under the Metropolitan Interments
Act," notwithstanding the wonderful amount of cfficial
dexterity they possess—seeing (as we learn from the ap-
pendix to saidreport) that from the sth of August last to
the clove of 1850, they dispatched, by post or hand, letters
and packages to the overwheluming number of 24,339.
What the Board of Health have been doing since the
Ist of January, 1851, the " Report of Preliminary Pro-
ceedings under the Metropolitan Interments Act" saith
not, but if anything like a similar efflux of letters and
packages has issued from Gwydyr House, the public may
very fairly come to the conclusion that they have spent
fully eleven months since they got their Burial Act in
performing—the Comedy of Errors and Much Ado About
Nothing.

It was understood that the scope and intent of the
Metropolitan Interments Act was the total and imme-
diate abolition of the profane and disgusting practice of
burying yearly about 60,000 corpses in and amongst the
hearth-seats of the living. But the 130,0001. advance
now required by the Board of Health as a first instal-
ment of the 700,0001. needed to realise their burial mo-
nopoly scheme, appears to be sought with a view of
making the Brompton Cemetery and the Nunhead Ce-
metery two large grave-pits for the promiscuous inter-
ment of the metropolitan mortality. But what, let us
ask, will be the sanitary condition of Chelsea, Brompton,
and Kensington, from the moment that 20,000, 30,000,
or 40,000 corpses are deposited yearly in their centre ?
As regards health, the practice is deadly enough when
burial is distributed amongst the 200 City grave-yards
and the eight suburban cemeteries. But to accumulate
burial in a spot such as the Brompton Cemetery, sur-
rounded with a dense and rapidly increasing population,
is an unheard-of aggression upon the longevity and com-
fort of the community.
Before the Board of Health made their, report in the
spring of last year on extramural sepulture, steps had
been taken by Sir Richard Broun and Mr. Sprye to
supply the desideratum of a METROPOLITAN NECRO-
POLIS, or city for the dead, on a comprehensive scale at
Woking, in the county of Surrey, twenty-three miles
distant. For this purpose they entered into a contract
with Lord Onslow for 2,000 acres of highly suitable soil,
and also completed arrangements with the South-Wes-
tern Railway, by which corpses will be conveyed from
the Waterloo station for less than 6d. per body—the fares
for mourners back and forward being, Ist class, 65.;
Ind ditto, 3s. 6d., and 3rd ditto; 2s.

the Board cf Health to act as a medical police in
interment matters. But that is one thing—to become
undertakers-general, grave-providers, and coffin-makeis,
is mother. Mr. Williams might very well cbare.cteris
the purchasing of two cemeteries as " a job." Thereed
is no need whatever for the Board of Health to expend
sixpence in the purchase of graveyards, much leas
130,0u01. The passing of that grant will only pen the
