The Week.

that an undertaker at Stoke Newington had turned his hack yard into a place of sepulture , for the sake of pocketing the burial fees . From the evidence given at an inquest held on Saturday , on the remains found in the roof of AAliitechapel Church , it appears that the Stoke Newington case is not a solitary one ; and there is much reason to believe that bodies have for many years been regularly hidden away for the sake ofthe

money which should have been expended in cemetery fees . Nothing definite , however , was elicited , and the coroner adjourned the inquiry for a week . On Saturday morning there was a further discovery of remains , and it is quite possible another search will bring to light more crumbling dust of the poor , relegated to a hiding place by the greed of survivors who may

themselves have by this time gone to the grave . An accident bofel the well known Belgian passenger steamer the Paron Osy , ivhich will put an end to her voyages , at least for some time to come . She was coming up the river last week on her passage from Antwerp , and though she kept in mid-channel , yet the title was so low that on going up Limehouse Reach she struck upon

a rook or the point of an old anchor , which made such a rent in her iron bottom that she immediately began to fill with water . The passengers were all got , out and the greater part of their luggage and of the steamer's cargo . As the tide flowed the vessel filled , and she lies in the fairway of the navigation . Some time ago a man calling himself Chapman was charged at

a police-court with obtaining money fraudulently by the sale of an advowson which he did not possess . A Mr . George Turner , said to be the same individual , was on Tuesday placed at the bar at AA estminster police-court on a precisely similar charge . Towards the close of last year he advertised two advowsons for sale , and the Rev . J . Cox , of Hood Church , near Birkenhead , entered into correspondence with him as to one of them . This

led to an interview , and Turner took Mr . Cox to Hardwiek , near AVellingborough , which was the living he professed to have for sale . Ho showed him the church and the village , and afterwards an agreement was made that Turner , as the agent of Mr . James Wilson , of Clapham-common , should sell tho advowson to Mr . Cox for £ 2625 , of which £ 300 was to be paid down .

That sum was paid down , but Mr . Cox ' s solicitors , failing to get any conveyance of the advowson , put the matter into the hands of tho police , who could find no Mr . James Wilson . Turner was not apprehended , however , until the 1 st instant , when he was taken at Bath , where , it is said , he was living as Sir Henry Seymour . In the course of the hearing on Tuesday it

came out that about the time when ho professed to sell the advowson to Air . Cox he was negociating , us he alleged , for its purchase from the real owners . He was remanded till Tuesday next , and bail was refused . There can no longer be any doubt that tho woman whose hotly was recently found in an empty house at Dudley was Rosannah Steadman , tho paramour

of the man Cheenery , whose mysterious murder at AA olverhampton has been already reported in our columns . The post mortem examination has clearly shown that Cheenery ivas murdered , and there are strong grounds for believing that the woman was concerned in the commission of the crime . ¦ . AA'ith regard to Steadman ' s death there is much to warrant the

suspicion that the wretched woman committed suicide . A . remarkable charge of murder is being investigated by the Sunderland magistrates . A few clays ago , " an English fishing boat was run down by a French schooner , and it is alleged that when the fishermen attempted to climb into the schooner , the French crew violently beat them , in order to prevent them getting on

board . Tho result was that one of the fishermen were drowned . The French captain and crew are in custody , and the case is undergoing a thorough investigation , The body of a man ,

named Thomas Allcock , has been found iu a cellar in Manchester , under very singular , if not suspicious , circumstances . Allcock was seen in his usual state of health on Saturday evening , and at mid-day on Sunday he was found dead in bed , with marks of violence upon him . Tbe marks are of very singular appearance ; but , as no post mortem examination has yet been made , the

cause of death is not known . We learn from Dundee of the opening of the People ' s Park , presented to that town by Sir David Baxter , on AA eclnesday . In the forenoon Earl Russell -was presented with the freedom of the burgh , and was further created a guild brother , for which honours his lordship returned thanks , saying that in the course of his parliamentary life be

had been " studious to build , upon the ancient foundations "—a sentiment which was received with more applause than its exactness seemed to deserve . He concluded with a declaration of the intention of the Government to maintain strict neutrality between the parties engaged in the American conflict . Soon after one o ' clock the People's Park was formally opened , and the

afternoon was passed in various festive pursuits . A case under the Nuisances Removal Act came before Sir R . Garden , at the Mansion House . The defendant was charged with having bad meat in his shop for sale , and as he would not give up the name of the consignor the summons was served . The defendant , who pleaded th at he did not know tho meat was bad and

that on former occasions he had pointed out bad meat to the inspector , was ultimately fined 20 s . and costs , a sum which , to a well-to-do salesman , is " a mere fleabite . " The metropolis was visited with a very heavy storm of thunder and lightning on A \ ednesday evening , which did great damage , especially at the east and north-east portions of the town . FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE . —Tho Emperor Alexander has taken a measure which is no doubt intended to prevent the peasantry

of the Ukraine from hearkening to the appeals of the Polish leaders , and which may not improbably be extended to other provinces that once formed part of the kingdom of Poland . An imperial ukase ordains that from henceforth the peasants of the Ukraine shall be the owners of their holdings , and shall pay to the Crown , and not to their landlords , a certain sum as

purchase money . The Invalids Russe now admits that tho insurrection , which had weakened in June and July , has taken larger proportions than ever , and the St . Petersburgh organ seems even to know that some districts hitherto undisturbed will shortly take part in the insurrection . The Grand Duke Constantino , it appears , will not return to AVarsaw . He is now in

Berlin , and will come to England to reside for some time . He has in fact got leave to travel abroad , which is Russian for temporary banishment . The German Princes who accepted the Austrian proposals for Federal reform have addressed to the King of Prussia a collective note , in which they express their regret that he did not attend the Frankfort Congress , and their

hope that a unanimous understanding will yet be effected . They are "inspired by the wish for German unity , and ready to make sacrifices ; " and they hope that , with the King's aid , " Germany will realise her desire for a wholesome reform of her Constitution . " The Memorial Diplomaliqiie affirms that the Archduke Maximilian bus agreed to accept the Mexican Crown upon

two conditions . The first , that a unanimous appeal shall he made to him by the Mexicans , Marshal Forey will no doubt easily satisfy ; but tho second , that ' ' the Western Powers" shall co-operate in the establishment of a Mexican monarchy , will probably he infinitely more difficult to fulfil , unless the Archduke be contented to regard France alone as " the AA estern

Powers . " The Prussian Chamber of Deputies has been dissolved by a Royal decree issued at , Berlin on the 4 th inst . Tho ministerial report which precedes the decree says that there
