Burial Ground.

The different cemeteries within the town being crowded with the bodies of the deceased, it was considered proper to purchase three acres of land near to the chapel of St. Bartholomew, as an additional burying ground; for which the sum of L1600 was paid to the governors of the Free School.  This ground is divided into two parts, each of which is inclosed by a brick wall, surmounted by iron palisadoes, and gates of the same at the entrance, which are secured by locks.  It was consecrated on the 6th of July, 1813, by the bishop of the diocese.

Births and Burials.

It will undoubtedly be expected that something should be said under this head, but the different sectaries, who never come near the church upon either occasion, are so numerous, that nothing like a regular estimate can be made.

Chapel in Broad-street,

FOR CATHOLICS.

The religious of this persuasion erected a place of worship in the year 1789, which was considerably improved in 1800; it is situated in Broad-street, and fitted up in a commodious manner, with an organ.  They have also another chapel in Shadwell-street.

Meeting in Bull-street,

FOR THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.

This pile of building, although destitute of ornaments has a very respectable appearance, and the inside of it is fitted up in a very appropriate manner.  There is at the back of it an extensive cemetery, and another small one in Monmouth-street.

Old Meeting,

FOR PROTESTANT DISSENTERS.

This substantial and well-constructed pile of building, particularly the roof, was erected about the year 1793; the old one, which gave name to the street, having been destroyed by fire in 1791.  Had this meeting been erected in a more spacious street, it might have been seen to advantage, but its beauties are here lost.  The interior is fitted up to correspond with the exterior, and therein is affixed a fine-toned organ.  The officiating ministers are the Rev. R. Kell and the Rev. John Corrie.  There is a spacious burial ground attached to this meeting.

New Meeting,

FOR PROTESTANT DISSENTERS.

This substantial edifice, being cased with stone, fronts towards Moor-street; the former erection, which gave name to the street, being destroyed by fire in 1791.  This, like the old meeting, is fitted up in a neat and convenient manner, in every respect, being furnished with an organ suitable to the size of the building.  The Rev. John Kentish and the Rev. James Yates are the ministers.

Meeting in Carres Lane,

FOR CALVINISTS.

This is a neat and commodious pile of building, in every respect suitable for the purpose intended.—­In Livery-street the Calvinists converted a riding-school into a place of worship, which is commodiously fitted up and will hold a numerous congregation.
