A new burying-ground for the relief of St. James's Parish, London, is just opened near Tottenhamcourt. The undertakers have introduced such a degree of novelty and improvement in the laying out of this ground, as deserves notice : instead of the mournful assemblage of pines, elms, and yews, uniting their influence to impress upon the mind an awful sense of the short lived vanities of life, you are here presented with a brilliant flower garden. Elegant serpentine walks, bordered with flowers and shrubbery, run through the whole extent of the ground.— The walls are divided into niches, as accurately numbered as the boxes at Ranelagh or Vauxhall, and the tout ensemble is so curious as to entitle the planner to the character of an Original.
