LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1850.

-,•••--
' A melancholy proof was afforded on Monday
- evening of the indifference of the House of Commons
' • 'to the centralizing machinations of the Government.
After an energetic protest from several of the metro-
politan representatives against the Ministerial Bill
. for Extramural Interment as at present constituted,
' decided by a majority. of 102, in a House
' - of 216, that the measure, already passed through
its first and second reading, instead of being
laid before a Select Committee, according to
' the amendment proposed by the Honourable
. .. Gentle Man the Member for Bodrnin, should then at
once be submitted to a Committee of the whole
House, with a view to its speedy consolidation into
an enactment. Against the suggestion of Mr. LACY
it was tpeciously argued that the compliance of the
House with his proposition would necessitate a very
''cbasiderable and hjuricus delay in the prosecution of
- -;, , a ecourse of rE form most earnestly required.
