of various kinds, and the long train of disorders
which it is now ascertained owe their existence
purely to this cause, were then imputed to
irresistible agencies, which. human folly or
human superstition had no hand in producing.
Hence we went on in our absurd and most in-
sane habit of crowding charnel houses with the
victims of our weakness, and they, in turn, con-
tributed to the prevalent evil.
But now we arc beginning to know better.
Sad experience has taught us the folly and
danger of going on piling dead bodies, as though
they were merchandise, in the neighbourhood
of our dwellings; and there appears to be a
general desire abroad to reform what hitherto
has been done so shamefully amiss. At
this crisis, however, the friends of im-
provement have an opponent to contend
with—an opponent powerful, resolute, and
energetic; and yet, strange to say that very
opponent ought to be a most zealous and ef-
fective ally. The Church—the Establishment
which has been called the Poor Man's Church—
appears to be most determined in her opposition
to the scheme for improving, by means of public
cemeteries, the health of our population. And
the party in the Church which has shown itself
foremost in this array is the party which is called
Puseyite. At Oxford, on the occasion to
which we have been referring, the Tractarian
clergy mustered all their local influence, with
the view of either crushing the scheme of
forming a cemetery, or else of carrying out their
project, by rendering it a cemetery for purely
sectarian purposes. How little, how puerile,
how paltry this interference with the sacred
privileges of the dead! The grave has been re-
garded as the sanctuary from all the strifes and
animosities which too much agitate us frail mor-
tals while passing through this brief and most
perplexing scene. Why, then, convert it into a
source for perpetuating what already, to a re-
flective mind, must appear far too enduring?
Surely, when we see a religious system incul-
cating such principles as this conduct evinces,
we may well regard it with suspicion ; and how-
ever much its professors plume themselves upon
their honesty, simplicity, and devotion to truth,
we may, without want of charity, exclaim, how
contrary is such conduct to everything which
Christianity. enjoins?

MARKET .NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

SUMMARY OF NEWS

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

AND

A very scanty supply of English Wheat has been received up
to our market since Monday, consequently the stands to-day
exhibited'but a limited number of samples. Although no great
amount of business was transacted the trade was firm at fully
the late advance in prices. Foreign Wheat was quite as dear,
and previous rates were steadily supported. The supplies of
Barley being large, the demand for all,except the finest malting
parcels, was heavy at late currencies. Malt came sparingly to
hand ; but in the present state of the Barley trade we can no-
tice no advance in the quotations. The supply of Oats being
large, the inquiry for that article, as well as Beans, Peas, and
Flour, was inactive at barely stationary prices.

The editor of another Legitimist Paris journal, the Quoti-
dienne, has been condemned to pay a fine of 320/., and be im-
prisoned for twelve months, on a charge of bringing the Go-

vernment into contempt.
Their Majesties received on Monday evening Marshal Soult,
the Minister of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duke de
Plaisance, the Baron and Baroness de Mareuil, M. Petit de
Bantel, M. Merilhou, the Countess de Castellaue, and the
Viscountess d'Haussonville.
The Finance Minister had announced that he would bring
forward the budget en Saturday, the 14th.
A Madrid j alma', the Espectador of the 4th, states that
the Cabinet have resolved on the disarmament of the whole of
the national militia throughout the kingdom, and that the
Captains-General of the provinces have been already com-
manded to put this order into execution.
The Chamber of Commerce and Muncipal Council of Bor-
deaux have guaranteed in moieties the interest upon the
6,000,000 f., to be raised at Bordeaux, towards the formation
of the two lines of railroad from Bordeaux to Angouleme and
from Orleans to Tours. Some days ago the subscriptions
amounted to 4,600,000 f. Of this amount the Mayor of Bor-
deaux subscribed 100,000 f.
A young man from Mezamat (Tarn) took up his residence a
short time since at the Hotel de la Crcix-de-Malte at Mar-
seilles, and incurred a debt of '200f., which he was unable to
pay. Being requested to choose another lodging, he exclaimed,
that "if they turned him out he should kill himself." He was
allowed to remain a few days longer, and on being again urged
to depart, he ran op stairs to his room, and blew his brains out.
The shine of Lyons states that influenza is very general in
that city.
No disturbince had yet been bend of in the provinces, and
Madrid continued tranquil, although 16 members of the Ayun-

King of Bavaria has dismissed from the office of Censor the
State Councillor de Lobell, for the severity with which he ex-
ercised his functions, and has appointed in his place M. Duren-
berger, a literary man, well known for the independence of his
()pillions and the moderation of his character.
PUBLIC OPINION.
The Morning Advertiser, alluding to the legal preliminaries
connected with the Irish State prosecutions, says :—" it ap-
pears that, after the Recorder of Dublin bad made out the list
of persons qualified to serve on the panel, consisting of 780
persons, he handed it to the High Sheriff, and immediately
afterwards proceeded to Drayton'lllanoi, on a visit to Sir R.
Peel. When the High Sheriff arranged the names in alpha-
betical order, it was found that the number on the list was only
717, being a reduction from the original list of 63. The ques-
tion comes to be, how is this reduction to be accounted for?
Who is the responsible party for the omission of the b 3 names
—a majority of whom, be it remembered, were Boman Catho •
lies? The blame and the responsibility attach either to the
Recorder or the High Sheriff ; it is for them to settle the
matter between them. The most generally received version is,
that the slips, when the list was alphabetically arranged, were
sent over from Dublin to Drayton Manor to be authenticated-
by the Recorder, and that he omitted to return the slips con-
taining the names of the missing jurors. Assuming this ver-
sion of the matter to be the correct one, the omission may have
been accidental ; but when all the circumstances connected,
ith the extraordinary proceedings, from first to last, in refe-
rence to these trials, are taken into consideration, does it not
look like the result of something else than accident ?"
The Herald remarks, in an article on public cemeteries :
" Kcnsal-green Cemetery, popularised by the burial of the late
Duke of Sussex, has subsequently, we are informed, become a
very paying speculation, and in every direction, other trading
burial grounds are springing up around the metropolis, over
which the public authorities have no control, and in which the
Church has no interest, and from which the poor, and conse-
quently the many, are excluded. The institution of really
public cemeteries on a comprehensive plan would ruin these
places as mercantile enterprises, and would gradually bring
back to the Church, in London and the greater towns, the now
rapidly-receding tide of interment. The latter is by no means
a merely speculative opinion ; experience has already proved
that such would be the case."
The Chronicle says :—" There are few things more amusing
than the unblushing effrontery with which the Tory press, or
rather what remains of the Tory press, are contemplating the
present aspect of affairs. They commend Lord Ellentiorough
for conquests, which would have been criminal in Lord Auck-
land. They eulogise treaties which would have brought an
impeachment on Lord Palmerston. They congratulate them-
selves on the augmentation of a revenue, which their own ob-
structive policy has been keeping for several years below zero ;
and, in total disregard of the condition of Ireland, and the State
proceedings now impending, they laud and magnify the Go-
vernment for restoring repose and tranquillity to our distracted
empire ! But what are the proofs of this ambiguous peace,
where the evidence of this ambiguous tranquillity ? In our
Foreign-office it is preserved by capitulations, at home by mi-
litary force. We treat the Irish as if they were foreigners
we treat foreigners as if they were our countrymen."
We quote the following from the Times : —"We have
before us a very successful expose of A Joint-stock Building
Society Bubble,—by John Bowen. The Society in question
is located at Bridgewater, and calls itself the • Bridgewater
Accumulating Fund and Building Society.' Mr. Bowen has
an indubitable nose for a job, and shakes his victim merci-
lessly. There is no mistake about it. The primary design of
this Society professes to he.semi-charitable—so very knowing
and refined are we become in the art of humbug ; it is
to enable persons who want capital to borrow money
at an easy rate. A person who wants money is invited
to buy one, two, or more shares in this concern. He
gives up the premiern which would fall to him in course
of time, if he waited, for the sake of so much ready money, with
which the society supplies him instead; and he simply clears
off his debt to the society by the monthly payment of his share.,
spreading over a period of on years, which is the calculated
time of the duration of the society. A tabular explanation is
given, and it is proved arithmetically how very advantageous
such a plan as the proposed one must be to the borrower. Very
fair and very good; but now we come to the lender. The so-
ciety consists of two sides,—borrowers and lenders ; it does not
profess to trade with its money ; so all the advantage that it
gives is simply derived from the money as it passes, within
itself, from one side of the society to the other. Accordingly,
if the borrower is benefited it must be at the expense of the
lender."

Our market exhibited a very scanty supply of Beasts, yet it
was fully adequate to meet the wants ni the buyers. The few
prime Scots, &c., on offer sold steadily at fully Monday's
quotations, but otherwise the Beef trade ruled heavy. The
numbers of Sheep were again small, yet the Mutton trade was
dull, at unaltered rates. There was only a small supply of
Calves on sale ; prime qualities of Veal sold freely, other kinds
slowly, at about last week's figures. In Pigs a fair amount of
business was transacted at previous rates. Much Cows sold
at from 161 to 1915 s each.

The supply of Hops is daily becoming less ; however the
demand continues to rule active, and an advance of from 2s to
3s per cwt. has taken place this week in the quotations of
Weald of Kent and Sussex Hops in pockets. The prices of
all other kinds of Hops are firmly supported. Weald of Kent
pockets, 6/ 2s to 61 14s ; Mid Kent 61 12s to 91 10s ; East

COLONLEIZ.
SUGAR.—There has been an increased demand for all de-
scriptions of British Plantation, more particularly the low and
mid sorts, which have been purchased chiefly by the refiners,
and must be quoted again fully Gd to Is dearer since last Friday.
The transactions amount to about 2,200 hhds, inclusive of 103
hhds Barbadoes, which sold briskly by auction at 60s to 683 Gd
for mid to fine.
I%IOLA SSES. —For the parcels sold rather higher prices have
been obtained. About 500 puns have found buyers, chiefly at
23s 6d for Nevis, Trinidad at 23s 6d, Demerara at 26s to 26s
6ti, and A iligua at 26s 6,1 to 27s 6d.
MAURITIUS AND BENGAL.—The public sales have only
offered 1,017 bags of the former, and 2,504 bags of the latter,
the whole of which found ready buyers at an advance of fully
Gd to is on all, excepting the former descriptions, which
brought the extreme value. Low to fine brown Mauritius sold
at 50s 6d to 5Ss Gd, good to fine white Benares 67e to 68s 6d,
and mid to fine soft yellow (date kind) 57s to 60s ; 872 bags
Madras sold likewise on public sale at 58s to 61s for low to
good bright yellow. Some business has been done privately in
nearly all descriptions admissible for home consumption at
corresponding prices, but the transactions have not been ex-
tensive.

The Madrid papers of the 4th instant bring no
intelligence of interest. On the previous day
Mr. BuLvrun, the British Minister, delivered
his credentials to the QUEEN, and thus addressed
her MAJESTY

". The Queen, my Sovereign, in accrediting me to your
Majesty, charged rue with the honourable mission of cultivating
the intimate relations which have so long subsisted between
the two countrini. I indulge the hope that it will not be
difficult for me to accomplish that task, if I succeed in descry-
ing the august approbation of your Majesty, since the most
ardent desire of the Government of her Britannic Majesty is.
that Spain may daily increase in power and prosperity, and
that your Majesty may reign many years with glory and hap•
pines over a noble people, whose name is so renowned in his-
tory, and whose profound veneration fir the Crown of your
Majesty and the proud spirit of national independence hive ever
inspired my countrymen with the most lively sentiments of
esteem and admiration."

FORZION.—There has been scarcely any demand, but as
holders remain extremely firm, purchases ca snot be made
at lover prices. The business reported since our last has
been confined to about 400 chests brown Bahia; for refining
in bond at 17s 3d. Refined Crushed is still held firmly at
26s to 26s 6d. Grocery descriptions continue in good demand,
and a fair business has been done at gradually advancing prices.
COFFEE. The public sales have contained 695 bags
Ceylon, 182 packages of Mocha, 1,743 bags East India, and
2,419 bags Costa R►ca, all of which went off very heavily, and
were nearly all taken in at about previous prices ; mitt coloury
Ceylon at 80s to 80s 6d; mid to good clean garbled Mocha at
706 to 76s ; good to fine ord Manilla at 37s to 39s 6d; good to
fine ord Singapore Java at 32s to 345, fine ord greenish Mysore
(subject to 44 per lb duty) at 80s ; and fine ord brown to low
mid coloury Costa Rica at 40s to 70s 6d, but chiefly at 52s to
60s for fine to fine fine erd. Privately few tran,actions have
taken place, except in Ceylon, of which some parcels were sold
at 62s 6d to 63s for good ord coloury quality. A large parcel
of good ord Padang, amounting to about 1,000 bags, was pur-
chased by one broker at 245. Foreign sorts remain without
demand.
Cocoa.-942 barrels and bags Trinidad brought to auction,
only partly sold at 44s to 53s 6d for ord grey to good red; 798
bags damaged Guayaquil sold also at 19s 6d to 24s for first to
fourth class damaged.
Rum.—About 150 puns Jamaica have been sold at rather
higher prices, vie., at 3s to 4s for 32 to 35 per cent overproof
of fair to good quality.
RlCE.—There has been rather more inquiry for Madras.
Bengal has been only in limited demand. Tire public sales
have offered 16,4114 bags Java (imported from Lombock), 674
bags Madras, and 270 bags Bengal ; the firmer were nearly all
taken in at Ss to tis 64 for low yellowish to mid white mixed
with Paddy ; the remainder sold at lOs to lls for good mid
white Bengal ; Ss to Ss 6d for mid cargo Madras, and 9s 6d
to lOs for low yellowish ditto Bengal kind.
SALTPETKE.—There has been a partial demand from the
refiners, and extreme prices have been obtained for the quan-
tity sold. Nitrate of Soda is held with rather more firmness.
3ercEs.-300 packages of Pepper were mostly taken in at
3Ad to sod, for good half heavy, Malabar. Privately very little
has been done. Pimento still continues in demand. Cassia
romains without inquiry.
CorroN.—A fair business continues to be done at the prices
of last week.
Tsta.—The market is steady, but with rather less doing on
account of the large public sales advertised for next week.
TALLow.—P. Y.C. is 41s 6d per cwt on the spot.

The QUEEN replied—
" Nothing could be more grateful to me than the sentiments
of friendship for my person and esteem for the Spanish people
which you have just expressed to me in the name of my dearest
ally the Queen of Great Britain, and certainly the expression of
tkose sentiments could not be conveyed to me by a more worthy
and commendable interpreter. I flatter myself that your mission
will be crowned with success ; that the ties of amity atilt good un-
derstanding now existing between the two Governments will be
daily more closely drawn, that the kind feeling and frank assist-
ance which Spain has always experienced from Great Britain,
her constant ally, will augment the sympathies of the two na-
tions, and that our debt of gratitude and respect fur the magna-
nimous English nation will increase every day."
The Three per Cents. were done at 241, at sixty
days, and the Five per Cents. at 181, at sixty days.

The French Government seems determined at
all hazards to put down the Carlist press in
France. Four Legitimist journals have lately
been seized by the police, the editors :of two of
them have been tried, convicted by a jury

(though only by a simple majority), and con-
demned to fine and imprisonment. On the 9th
instant, as stated yesterday, the editor of the
Gazette de France was fined 6,000 f. (2400, and
ordered to be imprisoned for two years. The
accused was charged in the indictment with
adhering to another form of government, with
exciting its readers to hate and despise the pre-
sent system, and attacking the principles and
form of government established in 1830. The
case of the Quotidienne was next tried, the in-
dictment being nearly in the same words. The
jury retired for an hour and a half, and returned
a verdict of guilty on four of the counts, but
only by a simple majority, which means that the
vote of one juror decided the verdict. The
editor, M. VAUGRIGNEUSE, was sentenced to pay
a fine of B,ooof. (3200, and be imprisoned for one
year. These sentences are generally regarded as
extremely severe ; and when it is recollected
that:the results are the fruitsof the September laws.
in this country there can be but one opinion on the
subject. The Quotidienne makes these remarks
on the trial, and the severity of the sentence :

Law. AND POLICE.

Mary Stubbs, the wife of a man of very good character, and
the sister of a respectable publican, was brought before Sir
Peter Laurie, at the Mansion House, charged by Mr. Bush,
the solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for Protection from
Forgeries and Frauds, with being implicated in the street rob-
bery, committed upon a clerk of Barnard, Dimsdale and Co.,
bankers. The amount of property stolen was 2,000/. in notes.
and of these the prisoner had presented 300/. at the Bank. She
was remanded.
Another party a femalo, said to be implicated in the for-
geries of wills in the cases of Miss Slack and Miss Burchard,
has been arrested. She is the wife of a respectable tradesman
in Oxford-street.
At Guildhall Henry Harrill, one of the men employed in su-
, perintending the delivery of coals and potatoes to the poor, at
the charitable institution called the ' City Kitchen," in Black-
friars, was brought before Alderman John Johnson, charged
with stealing 1631b5. of coals, and 281bs. of potatoes, belonging
to the charity. Evidence having been produced to convince
the sitting Alderman that the prisoner, to a certain extent,
was guilty, he was sentenced to the treadmill for seven days.

" Brought before a jury on a prosecution con-
sisting of five counts, the Quotidienne has been
condemned by a simple majority on all of them,',
and acquitted on the subsidiary questions. Wel
can therefore say that it is tim laws of September
which have condemned us, and that, under the
old system of legislation, our acquittal would
have been complete. Nothing proves better the
character of the trial than time union of numbers

of the journal, not at first proceeded against, and
afterwards included, in order to swell out the
accusation. Another circumstance must sur-
prise the public—namely, the severity of the
sentence, after a decision founded on a simple
majority in the jury. We respect the justice of
our country, but we must take into considera-
tion, as public opinion will do, the circumstances
in which this condemnation has been pro-
nounced 1"
The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies

It is stated that the.wood-engraving branch of the Govern-
ment Female School of Design has been abandoned. On the
re-opening of the school after the Christmas holidays, the '
teacher was dismissed, and the pupils told they were to dis-

SPLENDID STAG HUNT WITS! MR. POLE'S HARIERS.
—Mr. Pole's excellent little pack •f hariers had a capital run
yesterday, the meet taking place at the Windmill, White Wal-
tham, Berks, at which a field of between 50 and 60 were pre-
vent. A fine deer upon being us-warted at Weston Mill, about
two miles from White Waltham, made away to the left of Bin-
field Church, through the park, where it ran a circle round
the mansion, crossing the lawn to the Stag and Hounds, Bin-
field, thence to the Golden Ball, at Bracknell, where it doubled
to the left between Bracknell and Warfield to the park of Sir
John Walsh, and thence away to Holly Oak-lane, crossing to
New Lodge. through Folijohn Park, where it doubled again to
the right by Winkfield Church, leaving the church to the
right, when it took to the road by the Fleur-de-lis up to the
Crispin, within about a mile of the Royal Kennel, and was
there taken, after a run, at a tremendous pace from the com-
mencement, of two hours and a quarter, over between 20 and 30
miles of very heavy land, without a singe check. Mr. Pole,
who met with an accident while following Sir John Cope's
hounds a fortnight since, was not sufficiently recovered from its
effects to proceed throughout the run.
VERY CooL.—The Gloucester Journal gives the
following copy of a letter, sent by
some person in Tewkesbury
to a gentleman in that neighbourhood, who was supposed to be
desirous of adopting a child, having none of his own :—" Sir,
Having heard that you expressed a wish to a child and did
not mind giving a sum of money as an inducement i flatter

THAMES TUNNEL.—Last night there was quite a
gala under the Thames, a body of men attired in full ancient
regalia, with pikes, drawn swords, banners and three bands of
music, comprising a society called the " Knights of Bur-
gundy," having marched through, en route to their destination.
1 he noise produced by so many instruments plying at the same
time under the bed of " Old Father Thames,' was of a most
stunning description, and reverberated from arch to arch along
the whole structure.
