The Gentlemen connected with the Ward of Vintry,

his triumph over his opponent, presented at the same
time to the worthy Alderman a magnificent piece of plate,
of the value of three hundred guineas, highly embossed
and ornamented, and on which is beautifully engraved an
appropriate in inscription.

We understand on the best authority, that the bar-
barous practice prevails at a village in Norfolk, of
refusing the rites of sepulture according to the
Church of England to persons who die of the small-
pox. An instance occurred last week in the parish
alluded to, which we really think ought to be ex-
plained by the Clergyman there ; a farmer's son,
aged about thirty—by name Ca a was Pm:Hl—died
on Wednesday night of that disease, and was
buried on the Thursday at midnight without any
form or ceremonial of Church service. It is true,
the Clergyman on the following day read ove► his
closed grave some passages from that part of the
Liturgy, which relates to the Burial of the Dead;
but the Intention of that service cannot be said to
have been so fulfilled, since the dead had been
buried without nay prayers at all. Tho
is a very shocking and unseemly custom, and we
do hope that the Ministeiof the parish in question will
be able to clear himself of all sanction, or participation
in the traneectiou.
