MARYLEBONE VESTRY.

On Saturday a large meeting of the vestry of Sr.
Maryleboue took place at the Court-house, Mr. Hume,
M.P., and nearly every member of the newly-elected
party in the vestry, being in attendance; the Rev.
Dr. Spry, the rector, in the chair.
The minutes of the previous vestry having been read
and confirmed,

COMMITTEE Or INQUIRY.

Mr. Huhu, ALP., rose and gave notice that it was
his intention, at the next sitting of the vestry again
to bring forward the resolution in which he was de-
feated by the old vestry, for the appointment of a
committee to inquire into the financial condition and
management of the affairs of the parish during
the years 1848 and 1849. His motion would, he said,
be founded on certain allegations _ made in the two

last reports of the parochial board of auditors. Those
allegations charged certain malversations on the part
of the vestry and board of guardians which he con-
sidered demanded the strictest inquiry. lle should
confine his observations in bringing forward his mo-
tion to the statements made by the official auditors,
and those alone ; and he would not disguise the fact
that he intended again to ask for a committee of rate-
payers, a proceeding which his lion. Friend the
Member fur Macclesfield had acquiesced in and sug-
gested.

Mr ii`EviLT hoped the Hon. Member for Mon-
lose would withraw one term he had used towards

the old vestry. He hacicharged
tion. That was a charge, at least until proved, which
no gentleman, not even the Hon. Member for Mon-

trose, had a right to apply to the vestry as a public
body.
Mr. liumu said he bad only made use of the word
-malversation, as he believed the auditors' report sus-

tained it. The Hon. Member then left the vestry,
and the subject dropped.

THE METROPOLIS INTERMENTS DILL.
Mr. FLOOD, the vestry clerk, read a letter he had
received from Mr. Hume stating the position in which
the parish was placed by the Metropolis Interments
Bill, and . advising the immediate appointment of a
deputation from the vestry to wait upon Sir G. Grey
on the subject.
Mr. Churchwarden BRIDGMAN begged to ask the
lion. Baronet, Sir B. Hall, and his Noble Colleage,
Lord Dudley Stuart, what they thought of sending a
deputation to the Secretary of State ?
Sir B. HALL, Bart., said it would, in his opinion,
not be of the slightest use whatever to send a deputa-
tion to Sir George Grey.—(Hear, hear.) Tne Go-
vernment were determined at all risks and all hazards
to carry this Bill. He (Sir B. Hall) had no hesita-
tion in declaring to his constitutents that during the
whole twenty years he had sat in the House of Com-
(seet sh)apAe,ndhe if
mons, be had never found a measure attempted to be
passed in which there were such objectionable clauses

had also no hesitation in declaring that it would cause
the greatest dissatisfaction which had ever existed in
the metropolis, and with the greatest
justice.—(Hear,
hear.) Ile was quite Confident of thii, that if the
public at large were aware of th
In-
terment Bill as it now stood,e provisions olthe
they would -rise en
7ruzsse against the Bill, and
it for ward.—(Cheers ) against those who brought
. He (Sir B. Hall) confessed
he never felt so strongly upon any 13111 since he had
been in the House of Commons, because he did not
wish to see such disgrace
as it would confer brought
upon the greet religious community of which he aas
a humble inember.--(Cheers.)
Lord DUDLEY ,STUART quite agreed with his
Hon. Colleague, Sir B. Hall, that it was of no tp.e
noplying to Sir George Grey on this subject.
The Government were determined to carry
this Bill without paying the slightest attention
to what the people's feelings were upon it.—(Shame.)
They had made no objection to the principles of the
Bill, but only sought to amend and alter certain
clauses in that way which they considered a practical
improvement ; yet the Government paid no attention
whatever to the arguments adduced, but were deter-
mined to carry the Bill in the most indecent, reckles.,
and hasty manner. Members voted in favour of the
Bill against the metropolis, without considering that
when the Government had passed this Bill for the me-
tropolis, they would extend the provisions of the same
Bill to every town rand city in the kingdom.—(gear,
hear.) The Noble Lord at further length condemned
the Bill, and declared his willingness to stand by his
constituents, amidst loud and general cheering.
Mr. J. WILLIAMS, M.P., also condemned Bi
ll
and Bill,
and Said the Government were completely con-
