nfoleruble. There were coffins of
anal full grown people.

The gravedigger there for six
years,—had repeatedly dug up , interred but a
short time, to make room for others. Had frequently
dug up 20 corpses to make a grave of seven feet deep.
The bodies that had been interred eight feet under ground
were a few days after rooted up and just covered by the
surface. The stench was intolerable. They burnt the
bones at night, and sometimes they began to burn at 11
o'clock at night, and continued at it all night. A female
who lived in a house adjoining stated that she bad seer!

that he had b(

it up with their shovels. Saw one

On this occasion she could not refrain from crying out

" Oh, you villain, to treat the corpse so ;" upon which he
threw it into the grave again, and threw the clay on it.
The smell was horrible. Mr. Cornhe advised the parties

would, he felt convinced, bring the parties under his ju-
risdiction. The parties thanked the magistrate and left
the court. We should like to see the parties who could
be guilty of practices so revolting to humanity and decency
and involving so much of danger to the health and lives
of the people of a whole neighbourhood placed in the
pillory. Surely the legislature ought to interfere and to
close up such breeders of malaria as the crowded burial
places which exist in large towns. Without some such
steps all efforts for sanatory improvement must be in
vain.

A deputation consisting of the Marquis of Downshire,
the Dean of Dromore, and other gentl,men appointed to
present this important address, waited on his Grace the
Lord Primate, at the Palace, Armagh, at three o'clock 00
Wednesday, the 26th instant, and were received by hi%
Grace with the courtesy which ever marks his demeanour'
His Grace's reply is an invaluable evidence that steadfast'
ness std gentleness can be united in the same clatracter'

My Lords and Gentlemen,—l receive with very great
satisfaction the address which you have done me the ha"
nour to present to me ; and I am truly gratified to pert
ceive that not only the clergy, but so many thousands 0
the laity of the north of Ireland, concur in the views re,'
specting education, which have been put forth by my righ".
reverend brethren and myself. It gives me sincere plea'
sure to find that amongst the names subscribed to thin
declaration of your sentiments are those of such a number
of the influential landed proprietors of the counties of
Down and Antrim—of the intelligent and independent:
middle class—and of persons in an humble sphere. v 4";
while they are themselves most deeply interested as parent
in the system of instruction that pervades the countrij

in their respectability of character, a living proof of t"
benefits which result from a sound and scriptural educe'
tion. It adds, also, peculiar interest to your address, that
it bears the signatures of s'x thousand persons, who s',l
though they diffrr from the communion of the establisbe.r.
church, yet, in affixing their names to such a documel
testily their approval of the principles of education wbici,
we advocate., and afford a demonstration that --"Qh

which are conducted on those principles are successful t'
effecting united education, and thereby in attaching the(
inhabitants of the country to each other in the bonds °f
mutual good will and brotherhood. May such feelings
amity he deepened and extended in our native land; 5,°
may the blessing of the Almighty so rest upon the O;
struction given to our youth, that their advance in Pie.l
and charity may ever keep pace with their advancerse'
in literary acquirements and secular knowledge.
