The parish of Lambeth is in the agonies of an

effort to get rid of inter- ' ments within its bounds ; a subject discussed at the Vestry meeting on Thursday. It has been proposed to lay out land for the reception of the dead of the parish at Norwood—the ground not to extend over twenty- six acres, according to the Burial Act, &c. It has also been proposed to lay out the sum of 16,000/. in the purchase of the ground. Resolutions. were moved with the view of carrying out the plan ; but it did not fare at all well in the long discussion that ensued. Ultimately the meeting was adjourned for a fortnight ; the parochial authorities in the mean time to prepare estimates and adopt other measures.
