St. Peter's Church, a very handsome edifice by Mr. Charles Barry, has a considerable area round it, but it has not been used as a place of interment; because, from its low situation, it is supposed that it might deteriorate the water which supplies the wells of the town. This piece of ground is surrounded by a marginal plantation, which has a very good effect; and the interior, as it is not to be used as a cemetery, might be diversified with flowering shrubs and low trees, and with small circular beds of flowers of different sizes grouped together, each bed planted with only one kind of flower. Both trees and flowers we would have named for the benefit of the young; for we should not treat it as a cemetery, but rather as a botanical pleasure-ground.
