EXTRAMURAL INTERMENT.

As far as the metropolis is concerned, this grea t
victory of civilzation, health, and humanity was
achieved in the last session of Parliament. And to
whom is the merit due ? To one man alone, Mr.
George Alfred Walker, the eminent surgeon of
London. When, some years since, this gentleman
commenced what we may call the mission of exposing
the abominations of the London grove-yards, men's
minds were horrified by the hideous details which be
laid before them. They seemed to pars the bounds of
credulity itself. But they were soon compelled to
accept them as awful facts and tremendous realities.
They could not be contradicted, as proof after proof
was advanced to show the horrors of the charnel-
boons which were dedicated, not to the repose of the
dead, but to the service of Mammon for the benefit
of the living. It would have been supposed,
when the public were made acquainted with
the facts of the case, that the work would have
been done and that the fiat would have gone
forth to drive away the ghouls who revelled in the
mutilation of the dead, and to shut up the poisonous
hotbeds of cholera, fever, and consumption. But it
was not so. While the people listened in a kind of
paralysed amezement to the history of what was going
on around them, the champions of intramural burial
with all its evils, took the field with desperate re-
solution. At first Mr. Walker had to contend,
in the might and strength of his own energies, against
a whole hoist of foes. Bated again and again, he
returned, Antmus•like, to the struggle after every
fall. Nothing could daunt his spirit of indomitable
perserverance. He had to go through a species of
martyrdom for years, suffered in his profession, was
assailed by obloquy, shot at by calumny and malig-
nity. But all in vain. Ha continued his agita-
tion until right prevailed against might. He appealed
to the public in every possible manner, by meetings,
through lectures, in the columns of the press.
Allies began to show themselves in different quar-
ters. He and his cause were spoken of in Par-
liament. Converts were made, first slowly, then

in larger numbers. The tall increases as it rolls,
vires acquirit euncto, until at last the Government
had the matter forced upon them, end the Bill
just passed was the result. It was expected,
when all this was achieved, that the hero of the con-
flict would have been calied upon to carry out his own
work to its practical accomplishment. But it is not
to he so. By some strange oversight, although much
and good patronage had been created in connexion
with the measure, certain officers being necessary to
carry it into effect, Mr. Walker has been forgotten
or negl.7xtted. His friends in the metropolis, and he
has many and powerful ones, are exceedingly indig-
nant at what they conceive to he a great slight upon
him, and are striving, with Lord Dudley Stuart at
their head, to raise funds for a testimonial to express
their high opinion of his merits and exertions. But
we do not think that such a testimonial should be con-
fined to London. There is little doubt that the
measure must be made general for the sanitary benefit
of the Whole country, and we trust that in every
place some energetic persons will be found to under-
take this cause and put themselves in communication
with the central committee to which we have alluded.
We regard the champion of extramural interments as
one of the greatest benefactors of his country in
modern times.—Doncaster Gazette, Oct. 11.

MESSRS. HARDING and Co., 81, Pall-mall, beg to
intimate to the public that, in consequence of the rebuilding
of their premises, it has become imperative on them to
dispose of the whole of their valuable Stock, which they
have determined to offer for immediate Sale. at a very con-
siderable reduction of price. Messrs. 13. and Co. offer to the
public the assurance that the Sale thus announced is bona
fide. Their entire Stock, consisting of Silks, Ribbons, Lace,
Embroidery, Shawls, Scarves, Cloaks, Mantles, Gloves, and
' the recherche Selection of Millinery, for all of which their
establishment is so eminently distinguished, will be unre-
servedly subjected to the reduction. The Sale commenced
yesterday, the 10th October, to be continued for a limited
period.

THE NEW STAMP ACT.—The present share set-
tlement to conclude to-morrow (Thursday), is the first that
will have taken place since the new Stamp Act came into
operation, and the effect of it is found to be most favourable
for parties interested in the negotiation and transfer of joint-
stock investments. Under the old scale, large sacrifices had
often to be made in the shape of stamp-duty. Parties having
to break up their stock or shares, for delivery, into several
minor quantities, so as to meet the requirements of pur-
chasers, have done so at a logs of a great many pounds, say
from 15/. to on a value upon which, under the new
scale, they escape with a disadvantage of no more than 11, to
2/. The issue of small stamps, commencing as low as 2s.
6d. per cent., and ascending at the rate of 10s. per cent., is
found to faciitate business in a remarkable degree. A ss.
stamp now suffices where a 255. one was formerly requisite,
but, notwithstanding so considerable a change, it is antici-
pated that, in a very short time, the Exchequer will be
by no means a loser in consequence of it. A great demand
for stamps for share.deaiing and other purposes has already
been experienced ; and as there will now be so little gained
by evasion, the business of the share market will be more le-
gitimately done.—Pos: City Article.

A PARISII DEFAULTER.—A warrant was granted
yesterday, at the Westminster rolice•court, upon the ap-
plication of Mr. James Rogers, solicitor and vestry-clerk,
accompanied by Mr. Norris, one of the overseers of St.
John's, Westminster, against Mr. William Thomas Restell,
upwards of fifteen years chief clerk of the governors of the
poor of the united parishes of St. Margaret's and St. s.
