Jt 1s certain that there is not a sensible man on this island, who would not concur heartily in this seeommendation, unless he was concerned ingomne vault, cemetery, or burial ground, out of which he “was making money, at the expenee of public health. In 1848 there were 15,919 deaths in this city, and ef this vast number only 4,463 were removed from the city for interment, the vast balance of 11,056 being deposited or interred in New York. Where and how these thousaads have been stacked upon one another, most of them half eovered, or not covered at all, pitched hike car- non into holes, chopped up and cut to pieces, and dug up, to make room for new comers, before the flesh had left the bones, we have already in part nformed our readers. for the last tea yeara, we have uttered our solemn and unceasing protest against these barbarous practices, and have called m vain for common councils to abandon their Bacchanalian revels, for which we are taxed to pay the bille, and for once bestow a thonght on the good of the citizens, and relieve ue from the tre- mendous evils and oppression under which we are mew groaning; for be it knowa, that 20 long as city burials continue, priests, bishops and lord biehope, grave yord owncre, deacons, undertakers, and churches are speculating out of the poor and the unfortunate, who are compelled to pry more, im many cesre, for a single geave in these traa- sient receptacles for the dead than an entire barial jet costs, in eeveral of the rural cemeteries of New York. We have, on a former occasion, exposed the villanies and bruisdlities that are practised in this city. We rhall continue to do vo. ‘There are facts enough stuted, and arguments enough educed in Mr. Sturtevant's report to alarm any other Common Council than out own, into immediate enactment of an ordinances to prolilut for ever the burial of the dead on th’s isliad.

The medical men of London have riven ina body to annihilate the filthy custom of city burials. A cent Court of Common Council, Mr. Anderton moved that the eourt do petition Parliament to poss an act to pro- hibit intermente in London and other large towns.

There are dis- | 4ricts in the neighborhood of the poorer grave-yards | of the city, where the indigent and the destitute | are now dying day by day. Everybody knows that hardly a dozen deaths from cholera have oc- | curred in the lower part of the city during the | summer, while in the central and northern dis- | triete, they have cached one hundred a day, and | ence fourteen hundred a week, embracing other | | diseases. It is useleesto deny that one of the | principal eauees of the health of the lower part of | the town bas been, that bunals are not allowed | there. An ordmance was passed long ago, proht- | biting burials m this district, and petitions without | number gent in, that the line may be extended | uptown. Bat this noteneugh. Itis puerile and | contemptible legislation, to wait till the ruin has | been wrought. Better to forestall the evil, while | | there is time.

The position asenmed by the class of lawyers referred to, in objecting to the competency of ctti- zens to serve as jurymen, because they are in the habit of reading newspapers, ia not only a false, absurd and ridiculous one, but it is positively an | atrocious, wicked and defamatory attack on the | press. It isa part of a lawyer's education and a feature of his tactics, to’ avail himself of every | thing withm reach, that is calculated to benefit the cause of the client, who pays him; but he should exercise discrimination and judgment, if he have any, and he 1s certain that his selection of wea- | pons will not injure rather than serve him whom i he 1s defending. Will any sensible or intelligent | man say, in this age of the world, that reading newspapers daily, is calculated to disqualify a per- son for anything? For our own part, we would | read them, as far as intelligence is concerned. | Point out a man who does not read the newspa- per journals of the day, and no matter what his ac- | complishments may be—no matter how much mo- | ney may have been expended in his education—no | matter how intimate he may be witha score of dead orliving languages—and we will point out an ignorant man, as far as intelligence—real intel- ligence—is concerned. It is rather a singular fact, that the very class of lawyers and counsel, to which we have referred, are the most clamorous, and the most anxious to be reported in the very newspapers which they condemn. As far as we are concerned, they make aweful mistake. We shall never allow our co- lumns to be used for the benefit of men who can- not appreciate the usefulness of the press, and who seek on every occasion to vilify and abuse it. ts Tur Exxction in York, aNp Tuk Fepsrau Avaunistrarion —Since the reanion of the di- vided elements of the democracy, the whig jour- nals in this city, and throughout the State, have been very fidgety and restless.

Great efforts reem to be making in various quar- tere, to bring it on as fast as possible, with all the train of expenditure that generally follows such an event. The jast Indian war in Vioride, whieh continued, as our readers are aware, for several years, cost the country forty millions of dollars, nearly halt as mueh as the Mexican war did, which ended so brilliantly in military glory, new | territory, and gold mines. The forty millions of | dollars expended in the Florida war, atnong the | war speculators of that State, have probally be- come exhausted, and of course there is a desire among them to replenish their pocketa, by getting | up some sort of a pretence for a quarrel with the | Indiana, and then a war, 0 as to drain the Trea sury of the United States a second time. Those Indian ware in Florida, or elaewhere, are generally produced by rpeculotors, in white kins and with civilized manners, who wish to hive by their wits, and not by ploughing, sowing, and reaping.
