calculated to remove a considerable portion of the
danger arising out of the indiscriminate employment
of the intramural system of i❑terment. 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. Have 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 calculatio❑s 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 no means wanted to compensate the
clergy, as the Legislature would really seem to ima-
gine. Compensate them, forsooth I The notion is
altogether derogatory to the character of the religion
of which they profess to be the priesthood--
a religion that 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 appear 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 with such hideous and detestable no-
-dm, tions as these, they are injurious to the age in which
7 we live, and derootory to the divine and celestial
: principles of Christianity.
