REFUSAL OF CHRISTIAN BURIAL TO TIL
son OF A DISSENTING MINISTER.

The London Patriot Of November Sd contains a
gyman in the city of Wells, whose views of duty, UNI
der the circumstances stated have occasioned cons-
derabe excitement in that neighborhood Such con-
duct cannot fail to strengthen sectaran feeling under
the influence Of which charity reres, to deplorc the
injuries inflicted religion by few of its minister's
who think they do God service by throwing combus-
tbles on the fame which is kinded by bigotry, and
kept alive by strife. The following is an abridged
account Of this sad exhibition Of ecclesiastical into
erance
On the 9th inst died in the city of Wells MIR. H.
Gresham, (son of the Rev. II. Crossman, Baptist
minister On the following day. the clergyman of
the parish called unsolicited Mrs. Crossman her
husband being from home,) and inquired if her late
son had been baptised On receiving a reply in the
negative lie rejolned, :" Then cannoi bury him. la
my opinion baptism, according to the rites of the Es
tablIshed Church. is necessary TO salvation" An ap.
picaton was, on the subsequent day, made 10 inter
the body the churchyard without the usual service
Permission given, but the strict understanding
that no would be allowed to perform any service
whatever at the inerment. These facts soon became
public when the indignation of the neighborhood was
awakened, and the clergyman, even among his own
friends loudly censured.
The day appointed for the funeral arrived At an
early hour unusual excitement was apparent, and
public sympathy with the bereaved significantly ex-
pressed by many of the leading tradesmen keeping
up the shutters to their shop windows, and by humid
reds crowding tn Streets converting on the lndecen-
cy of the aforementioned refusal. At length the fI.
neral procession appeared, preceded by the Rev J
Chapman Dave, independent minister Of Wells and
followed by the bereaved parents and family and
nearly thousand Of the inhabitants, who all proceed
ed to the Baptist chapel where impressive service
was conducted by DIR. Dayie; at the close of which
the procession moved of for the churchyard and n.
creased in numbers II passed from street TO street
When 1t entered the burial ground without either
clergyman or bell TO break the silence, feeling that
words fail to describe expressed in almost every
countenance. At the grave itself, the coffin was
lowered the stiffness awfulthe partly suppress
ed signs and tears Of the bereayed parents alone be-
ing audible. The crowd Of attendants was .ignalised
by a seriousness Of department seldom witnessed
when such companies arc gathered together on fune.
raj occasions. Not man seemed disposed 10 desert
the mourncrs, until they had been respectfully sc-
companied back again to their dwelling.

liens of our own country; one portion of
it at least, groaning under the most CALLING
system of tyranny ever invented by the
wit of man. We not long since read of a
decree Of Hungarian lord, who ordered
the locks of all his female serfs TO be
cut, and sent to Paris. where they brought
him a handsome income. Why do not
American philanthropists march instantly
TO Hungary to avenge the violated rights
of humanity; or TO Russia, China, Turkey
and Egypt, where the people are ground
down to powder, under the iron wheels of
tyranny. The Hindoos are enslaved BY
Britain, and in Africa, fifty millions of hu.
man beings are grooming under horrid
and sanguinary despotism. But instead of
marching to these regions to discharge the
duties of quixotic philanthropy. had we
not better reserve our means, none too a.
buncant, to stay the progress of popish
despotism at the west, and slavery at the
south, objects sufficiently absorbing for the
richest gifts and the most expanded efforts
of human philanthropy which Americans
can command.
