THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY' 9, 1850

consent, but on account of others, who see nothing
wrong either in a religious or moral point of view
therein—the matter was delayed and procrastinated
until the very close of the session, and then necessa-
rily withdrawn from want of time to carry it through
the hereditary branch of the Legislature. The Fabian
policy was, unfortunately, but too successful during
the past year; but such a course cannot a se-
cond time be attended with similar results.
The Right Honourable Gentleman who in
troduced the Bill, and has taken upon himself the
duty of removing a most unnecessary and vexatious
grievance, cannot be again entrapped. He must be
well aware of the imperative necessity of pressing
the subject forward with all the speed which the
forms of the House allow. He must perceive that
concessions are worse than useless—that they are
positively mischievous, their only effect being to in-
spire the enemy with new vigour and new courage,
and to induce them to redouble their exertions in the
vain hope of neutralizing the measure, and totally de-
priving it of its efficiency ; warned by past
experience, he will persevere with fixed re-
solution and determination, and by carrying
the matter to a triumphant termination,
will earn for himself the cordial and grateful thanks
of many thousands of his fellow-subjects, who are
now pining under the " hope deferred that maketh
the heart sick," lamenting their own anomalous
positions, and the painful obscurity in which the
future state and condition of their beloved offspring
is involved.

The present Bill is substantially the same as that
of last year, which was sanctioned and affirmed by
repeated majorities in the House of Commons, no less
than 320 Members being present on one occasion. Its
main object is directed. against the monster grievance,
the prohibition of marriage with the sister of a
deceased wife, although it would manifestly
be impossible to retain restrictions upon such
connexions in more distant degrees, such as with
the niece of a former partner. He has announced
two amendments of considerable importance : the first
will have the effect of protecting parties to marriages
recently contracted from any consequences arising
out of the law of the land, and rendering their issue
legitimate. This provision is so equitable in itself,
so essential in every respect, that the measure would
be incomplete and valueless without it. What could
be more absurd than to declare that all such mar-
riages celebrated previous to the year 1835, and sub-
sequent to the year 1850, should be valid and binding,
and the offspring legitimate, while all nuptials cele-
brated in the interval should be utterly null and
void, and the issue bastardized ? The marriages could,
indeed, be solemnized a second time, the parties could,
at a trifling inconvenience, become legally man
and wife ; but the innocent children would be the
only sufferers. Those would be the victims, whom it
should be the object of the Legislature to protect
rather than persecute.
The other amendment relates solely to the clergy
of the Church of England. By the former Bill those
persons, although not compelled to officiate at such
marriages, if they really entertained conscientious ob-
jections thereto, were still protected from any un-
pleasant consequences, in case they thought
proper to act, and not to drive their parishioners
into dissent by a perverse and obstinate
refusal. It was well known that many of the most
pious, learned, and exemplary divines saw no solid
objections to such union, save that the Act of 5 and
6 Wm. IV. rendered them inoperative, and that if
that difficulty were removed, they would willingly
render their assistance at such ceremonies. Many of
the prelates of the Church also entertained similar
opinions. It is now intended " not to interfere with
the law or discipline of the Church, but to leave it
to the clergy to celebrate these marriages or not, ac-
cording to their own consciences, without any fear of
civil consequences, the law of the Church being left
as before."

We confess that we do not quite under-
stand this statement. If it be intended
that it shall be quite optional with the
clergyman to act as in his soul and conscience he
may deem right, without any fear of untoward re-
sults, whatever course he may think proper to adopt,
nothing could be more correct. Claiming the most
implicit freedom of conscience for all, we would
not require any man to act contrary to his own im-
pressions or to his interpretation of the Holy
scriptures. But if, while a supposed liberty is
allowed, and that an individual who may chance
to entertain different views from his Diocesan,
is to be subjected to ecclesiastical censures,
to be subjected to heavy costs, and perhaps deprived
of his preferments, then, we say, that the fancied
relief will be little better than a " mockery, a delu-
sion, and a snare ;" that it will, so fAr as members
of the Church of England are concerned, be " keeping
the word of promise to the ear but breaking it to the
hope," and that its only result will be to swell the
ranks of Dissent, and make many depart from the
Church wherein such absurdities could be tolerated.

After the emphatic manner in which the prosecu-
tion of the labours of sanitary improvements were
enforced by the advice of her Most Gracious MA-
JESTY in her Royal Speech to the assembled Parlia-
ment, we can no longer entertain any doubts as to
the speedy realisation of many of our hopes in that
particular. It was nobly suggested by the SOVE-
REIGN, that ameliorations of this character should be
introduced as the best and fittest testimony of
our gratitude to GOD for his beneficent re-
moval of a destructive pestilence. The recommenda-
tion we are confident will not be lost upon
the Legislature. Neither will it be forgotten by the
Government, from which it may be said to have in-
directly emanated—a Government which must be re-
garded as associated with these kinds of reformatory
enterprises, so long as the Earl of CARLISLE remains
at the head of the Woods and Forest Department.
Conspicuous among all the objects long held
in view by the Commissioners at Gwydyr
House is that branch of the Sanitary Question,
for the advancement of which the people of Lon-
don especially are indebted directly and almost
exclusively to Mr. GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, the
well-known Surgeon. It is of course unnecessary
to say that we allude in this to the imminent neces-
sity for extramural interments. Having thoroughly
exposed the horrible consequences cf allowing an
unlimited number of burials in our City graveyard ;
having disclosed the atrocities and indecencies com-
mitted in those horrible pits of corruption ; having
conducted the mass of the public in imagination into
those disgusting sources of pestilence, which he
himself, with an admirable indifference to his
own comfort, had visited in person—Mr.
WALKER has now directed his attention, and with
no small success, to the elucidation of a somewhat
greater difficulty, namely, the actual plans by
which the evils of such systems of interment can be
at once and permanently remedied. For the pur-
pose of solving this problem—a problem on the solu-
tion of which is mainly dependent the health and
longevity of our citizens—he has recently published
a pamphlet,* like all his other pamphlets, remark-
able far its lucidity and its eminently practical
nature, in which he has endeavoured to ex-
plain a reasonable scheme towards the es-
tablishment of certain National Cemeteries. His
calculations, we are gratified to observe, are singu-
larly well calculated to diminish the exorbitant
charges at present noticeable in connexion with the
existing system of intramural sepulture. How
enormous those charges are it is anything but
difficult, unhappily, to demonstrate. For example, it
is estimated on an average that the funeral, exclusive
of ground or burial fees, for an actually poor person,
is not less than 133., for an artizan amounts to
between 51. and 10/, and for a member of the
middle classes is carried to the extent
cif either 501. or 701., sums in many instances which
must necessarily press with l esuliar hardship on the
survivors. " Tile money expended," says our pam-
phleteer, " for interments in London during the year
does not fsll much short of ONE MILLION of pounds
sterling : the annual expense for Great Britain has
been calculated at FIVE MILLIONS sterling." Here,
therefore, is ample reason for desiring that in the recti-
fication of the evils of intramural interment we should
also effect simultaneously a diminution of the ex-
travagant charges of undertakers. With the intention
of aiding in the accomplishment of these two great

* " Practical Suggestions for the EstabLiGhment of
NAtional Cemt-terie.i." By George Alfred Walker, Sur-
geon, &c.:Bvc., pp. 18. Loadon: Longman and co., 1849,

and all-important reforms, Mr. G. A. WALKER has
entered boldly upon the consideration of those diffi
culties that have to be overcome in the enterprise.

His more prominent opinions upon a matter to all
of u', literally, of such vital importance, would at
all times have been worthy of very general consi-
deration, but more especially and particularly so at
a period when the Parliamentary session has been in-
augurated with a suggestion so emphatic as the one
we have only observed to have fallen, as it were, from
the lips of the SOVEREIGN. We turn, therefore, with
more interest than ever to the hints thrown out by Mr.
G. A. WALKER, towards the foundation of National
Cemeteries ; satisfied that those hints are not hastily
thrown out by a sanitary reformer who has already
distinguished himself so considerably. A general
Act he considers, should at once be passed fur the
establishment of such cemeteries—these cemeteries
being, not the property of joint-stock companies, but
national institutions.

The following tiacmae of the suggestions con-
tained in the pamphlet now under consideration
comprises its very pith and substance:—
"1. That a general system of extramural sepulture
shall be forthwith organized throughout Great Britain.
2. That medical men be appointed to fill the ancient
office of ' searcher,' and that no body be removed for
interment without a certificate of the cause and fact of
death.

"3. That interment of' the dead during the summer
quarters, within a period of (Jar, be compulsory.
" 4. That for London common (aed, if possible, Crown)
lands in the neighbourhood of railways should be appro-
priated for General Cemeterial purposes—sidings or
branch lines conveying the funerals it. to the ground it-
self', as proposed by me to the Select Committee on In-
termcnt in Towns in 1842.

" 5. Tka4 the afternoons of Tuesday, Thursday, and
Sunday in each week be appropriated for the purpose.
ThIA on the alternate days, spec4ll trains may, if re-
quired, be provided.
"6. That a central administration be appointed to un-
dertake every service (except the religious) connected
with the burial of the dead at fixed and specified
charges, which latter, however, shall not exceed certain
maxima laid down therein.

" 7. That the duty of providing for the interment of
the dead be exelusively.confined to the afort.-mentioned
Administration."

Before the present session has far advanced we
trust that schemes of this character may be
submitt‘d to the acceptance or refusal of the
Legislature, satisfied as we are that the es-
tablishment of some such institutions as these
National Cemeteries is the readiest means cf
preventing the recurrence of calamities like those
Produced by the Cholera. Let the remem-
brance of that dread pestilence, enforced as
it is by the solemn advice of the QUEEN Regnant,
act as an incitement to the labours of the
Parliament in the way of sanitary amelioration.
Now more than ever the Lords, the Commons, and
the Government should feel that they are weighed
down_by a terrible responsibility.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday

The Aisembly on Thursday-, after rejecting, by
considerable rnajoritie,, the several amendments pro-
posed in the LAW of Public Instruction, passed the
first four articles of the L!.w. The consideration of
the remaining articles was postponed to Monday.
It was rumoured at the Bourse on Thursday, that
serious distubances had broken out at Lyons.
The Pairie of that evening contains the following
semi-official contradiction of the report :—" Telegra-
phic dispatches received this day in Paris announce
that the departments enjoy the most profound tran-
quillity."
Tne utmost tranquillity prevailed in Paris up to
the hour of the departure of the post.
RICBARDET has called upon Count LEO DE
LABORDE to afford him satisfaction for the vulgar
insult which his Countship (a pattern specimen of
the old nobility) offered to him in the As-
sembly on Wednesday. The seconds have been
chosen on each side, MM. INTicon! BRAYMAND, and
BUEGARD, for M RICHARDET ; and MM. DE COISLIN,
DE TURVILLE, and DE TREVENEUR, fur Count LEO
DE LABORDE.

All the journals state that the mediation of France,
in the dispute between England and Greece, has been
accepted by both parties.
The expedition against La Plata is detained at
Brest by contrary winds.
M. PEIRAM, a communal schoolmaster, was dis-
missed a short time since by the Prefect of the De-
partment of the Meuse on account of his republican
opinions. His fellow-townsmen of Stenay im-
mediately elected M. PEIRAM to the municipal
council of the town by a large mbjority.
PEOUDIION has been placed in solitary confine-
ment, since the seizure of his journal for an article
attacking the PRESIDENT of the Republic.
At the sitting of the Assembly, on Thursday, M.
RICHARDET ascended the tribune for the purpose of
calling the attention of the Assembly to the conduct
of the President, who had suffered M. LBO DB
LABORDE to offer a gross insult to a Member and to
the Assembly, without calling him to order.
N. Durex, the President, declared, in reply, that
he had not heard the interruption of N. LEO DE
LABORDE (probably the excellent President is deaf
in his right ear), or he should have called him to
order for having given utterance to an interruption
which not only passed the bounds of common d.lcency
but which was conceived in terms the most reprehen-
sible. "If I had heard it," said M. DUPIN,
" I should have noticed it severely. I should
have called its author to order, for he
deserved it more than any interrupter in
this Assembly has ever deserved it. I blame it
openly, and I at once condemn the interruption
and its author."

It was rumoured in Paris on Thursday that
the affair between AIM. RICHARDET: and LEO
DR LABORDE-had been settled by the latter apologis-
ing. M. IttcummaT, who had the choice of weapon,
chose pistols, and Count LEO DE LABORDE, who is
an accomplished swordsman, refused to fight with
them, and preferred making a retractation.

The National Gazette of Basle has the following :
—" Some young men, who are members of a singing
club, having passed the frontier carrying a flag, which
was not of a political character, having on it merely a
lyre and a musical inscription, were stopped by some
gendarmes and ordered to surrender their flag.
Having refused to do this they were taken before
the Mayor of Burgfelden, who detained them whilst he
sent for some troops by whom they were surrounded.
Seven of them were arrested and taken to S'. Louis
chained. The Swiss authorities have sent a complaint
to those of France on this subject."

CITY, QUARTER TO 7 lIREE.
There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, the sales being 5,000 1 ales, of which 1,000
were taken on speculation.—Railway shares were rather
firmer.

lation was slightly diminished, and the discour.t busi-
ness fell ( ff. The sum to the credit a the public
Treasury is again advancing. In other respects the ac-
count is, comparatively, uninteresting, and the exact
changes, compared with the previous week, are as

In the negotiation cf bills c f exchange, yesterday af-
t.-2rnoon, nearly the previous rates were obtained by the
drawers. Paris (90 days) was a shade higher, being 25
621 to 671; Hamburgh, 13 121 to -2; Amsterdam, 12 2i
to 1; Frankfort, 121 a to 1; and Trieste, 11 30 to 33.
The shareholders in the London and North-Western
Railroad will be called upon, at the ensuing meeting, to
give their opinion, if not their votes, upon the audit
question, and as it it t asy to accomplish the most diffi-
cult task where the will exists, there is no doubt that a
satifactory system of private audit can be established.
In some comarks on the Share Market, the editor of the
Railway Circular of to-day remarks, that—
" Great Western, have been sftlitly affected by the
operations of Bears. We car, however, assure our
friends, that, at the meeting to be held on the 14th inst.,
the present condition and the future prostects of this
company will be shown to be more satisfactory than at
any period since 1845. Caledonians have improved, since
the resignation of the directors has become a matter of
fact. London and North-Westerns are very firm.
" Now that money can be borrowed on debentures
fully I per cent. cheaper than last 3 ear, that most of the
American stocks are from 10 to 20 per ct n'. higher, and
with the rise in our own Government Funds, it fellows
almost as a matter of certainty that railway shares must
partake t f the general improvement caused by the in-
creased commerce and weath of the country."
The exports of bullion this week, direct from Lon.
don, have been confined to 99,000 ounces of silver, to
Fra:-ce and Belgium.
The accounts from the mar ufacturing districts state
that business in woollen goods si as tolerably active,
though rather dull in cotton fabrics.
The improvement which commenced yesterday morn-
ing in the English Funds, and had lecome more positive
before the close of the market, has made further pro-
cress. Consols have been 9511 and are now 95. a 2.
There is not a great deal doing. The New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 984 to and the
Three per Cents. 95-,1-, to 96. Exchequer-bills have re-
maire t at 555. to 583. premium.
In the Foreign market Peruvian Bonds support their
%alue, and have recovered to 79 and 80. Equador are
41 to 41. Buenos Ayres have touched 62 and 641.
Guatemala have been a'. 40. Mexican have at 'elg,th
taken a start, after their recent extraordinary vietude,
