'CEMETERIES.

We were much pleased the other day on visiting
the cemetery at Nunhead, between Peckham and
New
Cross, Deptford, to observe the progress making
in the erection of the neat, but elegant and at-
tractive, chapels for the use of this spacious sepulchre,
and which do much credit to the talents of the archi-
tect, and will form prominent features in that neigh-
bourhood.
In gong over the grounds we were struck with
several very chaste monuments, and especially the
one recently erected to the memory of the late Mr.
Figgins, the extensive type-founder, and who, for
many years, we believe, took an active part in the
proceedings of the Corporation of London, as one of
the members of the Court of Common Council.
We hope in the ensuing session of Parliament at-
tention will be given to this important subject, and
effectually prevent the unwholesome practice of
burying in churches and churchyards in the very heart
1 of our densely-populated metropolis.

year's wages to his servants above what may be clue to
them. He likewise bequeaths a legacy to Arthur L.
M`Leod, his executor ; and, after many trifling legacies,
disposes of the residue of his property amongst various
branches of his family. The personal property is sworn
under 10,0001, but this is an unimportant item compared
with the value of his large estates in Staffordshire and
the adjoining counties. The will is of extreme length and
dated 1811.

THE TURN OF LIFE !—CURE EXTRAORDINARY BY
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—A respectable woman, aged 47,
named Graham, residing in Scotland-road, Liverpool,
was in the most critical and dangerous state for nine
months, being sometimes almost choked with phlegm,
with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, toge-
ther with a general derangement and debility of the
whole system. Her life was in the greatest danger
when she commenced the use of these miraculous pills,
which restored her to the highest state of health in five
weeks. They are the finest medicine in the world for
females of all ages. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment)
