FIFTY AND 'FIFTY-ONE. ^he Nineteenth Century is now equally divided. The last first Fifty years has been ung out, and the first day of he s ucceeding Fifty has been rung in. The departure of one t at r, and the advent of another, are ever regarded with feelings o f net e rh ; and the commencement of a new half century is looked n as an epochs in the history of the word. 0 tatesnian, the historian, the philosoph r, and the moralist, Coh• e g il silY alive to the importance and interest attaghing to such a -Junct ure .Th d *. h ot e awning of the present year is viewed with rnusnal interest, lUt a ,T, e relY because it is the initial year of a new half century, but, oreft,,.' e, because it is to distinguished by one of the most extra tr ' a rY events (it not the most extraordinary) that has ever k isPirea. It I t w i ll not be expected that MOSES and SON will remain silent that like the present ; more especially when it is recollected Qk th e Propriet o rs m a k e a pre Alec at this season of acknowledg urP.aat obligations in trade, and soliciting future favours with a re • , mice of future endeavours. /toii r alsit be evident to everybody, that ever since E.

There is one satisfac ts'iho7e:er, namely—that were the Proprietors ti . occupy whole „"olvipdl i the public prints in expressing the sincerity of their ac `dteri,;l,nients, the public would consider their professions as eorto6,o‘alueless, were their acknowledgments unaccompanied by P artial f ati `re merits.

MOSES li terli o „', to the extent which i hey have done, were there not some It " ',, nd ucements held out by the Proprietors. 4, Iwo a ultitted on all hands, that the secret of the success which gSbe s BE3 and SON have realised, lies in the excellence and ele -4t p r ,„_ . l their attire, coupled with the exceedingly moderate prices aliZ t ‘'t the articles are sold. • o ,,'‘t,eit advantages shall he extended in the year 1851, the p - ,.` e ' not Mlestion.

A cattle market will always be productive of some aimoyance and inc onvenience to the public, wherever it msy be placed. Measures for the mitigatim of these evils can be best and most efficiently ap plied to a market in a central position. No aerial advantage has been yet shown as likely to result tom the removal of Smithfield talarket to a suburban site. Any such removal must ruinously affect the interests of the owners and occupiers of property in the vicinity of the central market. Such retnoval would also have the effect of diverting a tra le in rolving returns of more than 7.000,0001. ainually from the City, depriving st . ti oay the citizens of the benefit conferred by the large and con by thoasands now frequenting their market It is under a conviction of the imp d•tarice of these considerations that the City of London Central Markets Association appeals to all Parties interested in a just and beneficial solution of this impor, ant 9uestion to aid them in their efforts in favour of an unitrejadiced and impartial consideration of the question. _ T he corporate W C Wan tor the establishment of a New entral Cattle Market and Dead Meat Market, in widen all the nuisances conre quent upon the insufficiency of Smithfield siall he remove i or abated, sPPears best to meet all the requirements of the case, involving as it noes the su bj oined propositions : l T° lay open a large space o.' ground, , ow occupied by trades the Tl, , offensive, dby tenements which are the haunts of immoral ity and ntoperism. 2 • TO construct upon this site a new market, which shall afford a331,1e acconynodation for 5,000, instead of that now afforded for 50 b easts, and for 36,000, instead of. as now, for 30,000 sheep. , • To w i t h dr .w the market f rom . a ll ex i s ti ng th o r o u d hfares, and ‘o,Xclude a 1 general tr file from the market by enclosing it. ... a 4 To construct the market up n an inclined plan,, and to provi d e t ' . 4 e b ti t y m e tl i ;nt supply of water, so thst the refuse inciy be readily and washed into deep sewerage. b 5 To restrict n" the egress of cattle from the market within such s i ( : as shall be consis-ent with the convenience of the trade and • ri requirements ~ f public traffic. 1 ° • To open various avenues for the passage of cattle to and from ,11narket, and to enlarge the more confined of those now existing.

Surrey.—Frimley, Bag sit it, December 31, 1450. —An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully sub nittei by i few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WI DOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLI,ES c, who for a p .rio.l m 1s ye trs, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. [Wiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provisi.o for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holle,t will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfu:lv bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exc •ed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in a l / 4 1 of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will he thankfully received by the following baukets :—Messrs. Berries. Farquhar. and Co.; Messrs Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens and Illandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com mittee : R. R. Bayley. Esq., Mitchett, Frimley, Bagshot. J. F. Burrell, E-q., Manor House, Frimley. Rev J.

Cap:aln C tales Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey. The Commit ee have the s ttistaction to state that her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester, hav • santioned their exertions be very liberal donations.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFACE. Capital-500,0 01. , orated under 7 and 8 Vitt., cap. 110.) The leading. principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk b made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. the true rate of Prein:um for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted , in, or systematically applied. Whatever he the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this ouestion, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Aver ige, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal , sis of its own experience, from time to ti'• e. adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investig& ion will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Corapsny upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Claus.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report. which is too lengthy for publication : „ . During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englar.f... and but two in Ireland —one for 5001. and the other tor VlM—making together 7001., which have been 'paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when It is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of slay, 1850. was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop .sass were made for 133 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.28. 6d.: of these 125, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 38. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the c immencernent of the Company to the Ist of Tune last, assuran es were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3 , 7321. 1 Is. 6d. fit these 54 lapsed, Amounting to 23,9501. 16s. fid., of which the annual premiums were 7411.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four mintlis they ha 4 considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de FEtatig, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbish p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but iu An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairmen, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

We have great pleasure in announcing another in stance of official appreciation of gallantry and good ser vice in maintaining the honour of the British flag, and in suppressing the infamous slave trade. At the earnest recommendation of the Gallant Rear-Admiral com manding-in-chief the squadron on the south-east coast of America, the Admiralty have promoted the com mander of the Cormorant, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Herbert Schomberg (184 t), to the rank of captain, he having, in the opinion of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, earned his advancement, for his successful cruising against the slavers on his station, but more especially for his recent destruction of a fort that had fired upon the Cormorant and killed and wounded some of his crew when in the performance of his duty in capturing some notorious slavers. Captain Schomberg is brother of Commander Schomberg, of the West India flag-ship Wellesley, and is the eldest son of the late Admiral Schomberg. He entered the navy in 1817, was promoted in 1827, and served as first lieutenant of the Melville, flag-ship at Chiett. THE LATE CAPTAIN OF THE VENGEANCE.—The Ad miralty have ordered a public funeral for the late Sir Henry M. Blackwood, Bart. ' and we understand the gallant deceased expressed a desire to be buried at Has ler. The flag of the Vengeance has been lowered half flag-staff high, and the ship has been put into mourning, out of compliment to her late captain, who was much be loved by all on board, To those of our readers who do not understand the term putting the ship in mourning, we may state that it is merely washing over with lamp black her sides, streaks, and port-holes, which are usually painted white. This gives a very dull and mournful appearance to the vessel. We are very sorry to announce that Lady Blackwood is seriously ill. Birkeuhead steam-sloops crew are to return to their respective ships, and her marines to barracks. The ship to be placed in first division of steam reserve at Portsmouth. Fairy screw-tender, Master-Commander Welch, has been undocked at Portsmouth. Bee screw-t. , nder has been taken in. Fantime, 12, Commander Gennys, left Portsmouth on Tuesday for Davonport, to join the Calliope, 26, and to be paid advance before proceeding to New Zealand. APPOINTMENTS.

MILDNFS3 OF TIIE SE4SON.—WOOLWICH JAN 8. —Several honey-bees were observed to-day carrying home pollen or bee-bread into their hives , a circumstance which has always been considered of early occurrence when wit nessed in the middle of February. The working bees have been very active during the middle of the days of the last and the present week, in carrying out the dead b ees f rom their hives and cleansing and preparing them for spring ope rations, which will evidently be earlier this season than they have been for many years past. The long period of exceed• ingly mild weather of the winter .418)0-51, has caused the hive bees to consume their honey in greater quantities than they do in severe winters, and those who keep these winged lancers. would do well to feed them with a little honey during the present fine weather.

PEPIra" DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE.—Cheap Re issue in Five Monthly Volumes, price 6s. each.—Vol. —NVe place so high a value on Pepys' Diary, as the richest and most delightful contribution ever made to the History of English Life and Manners in the latter half of the seventeenth century, that we record with peculiar pleasure the re-issue of this latest and best edition of it, at a price which brings it within the reach of all readers. The five handsome volumes are now to re-appear at something like one-half their original cost, and, so issued, there is not any publication of the time which deserves a more extended patronage. The book is admirably edited, and in the restored passages alone contains an amount of original matter equal to an entire third of the Diary as first published—these being often the most charac teristic and Pepysian passages of Mr. Pepys. And so we commend the good Secretary of the Admiralty to a wider circle of friends than he has yet had the chance of gathering ; round him. Literature contains no pleasanter companion.— &miner. [PRICE SD. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW DUTIES. Last night a crowded meeting of delegates from the various metropolitan parishes assembled at the Mary lebone Court-house, in order to determine upon some more effectual measures than have yet been taken to secure the abolition of the window-tax, and to ar range the preliminaries of a deputation to the Right Hon, the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the subject. Mr. J. A. Nicholay occupied the chair, and was supported by Mr. Wakley, M.P.; Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P. ; Mr. Wyld, M P. ; Mr. Bell, M.P. ; Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P. ; Mr. W. Williams, M.P., and others. There was also a large attendance of the rate-payers belonging to the Marylebone Rate-payers Protection Association. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, stated that he had received a communication from Sir James Duke, expressive of regret that be was unable to attend the meeting, but of his determi nation to give his aid in the repeal of this most ob noxious impost.—(Cheers.) It was with no small degree of satisfaction that he observed so many mem bers of the Legislature present on this truly important occasion, and so many members of the metropolitan parishes also in attendance. It was not at all necessary to go into detail as to the evils of the window-tax, they were so well known and impressed on the minds of the public, suffice it to say, that as a proof of the obnoxious character of the tax amongst all classes, whether a candidate for Parliamentary honours now was a Catholic or Dissenter, Whig, Tory, or Radical, had inscribed on his banners, " Total and imme diate repeal of the Window-tax."--(Hear, hear.) Nothing could be more indicative of public feeling than this.—(Hear, bear.) Mr. WHITMORE, a member of the Marylebone vestry, said it was proposed to make a public demon stration in reference to this measure. It had been proposed on a former occasion that the parishes should go to the Chancellor of the Exchequer separately, but it had been felt that such a proceeding would divide their forces, and that it would be much better that they should go up in a body.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Whitmore moved the first resolution : " That deputations from each of the metropolitan parishes, accompanied by the metropolitan Members, 4nd other Members of Parliament favourable to the repeal of the window -tax, be invited to meet a s phe ' Court-house, St. Marylebone, and proceed in a hod) to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the purpose of urging the total, immediate, and uncon ditional repeal of the window-tax, and that Viscount Duncan, M.P., be respectfully requested to head such deputation." Mr. BROWN, of St. James's, said he most condially concurred in the proposal that the deputations from the various parishes should go up to the Chancellor of the Exchequer in a body. He very well remem bered the result of deputations on this subject as well as the repeal of the house-tax to the late Lord Althorp, when Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was true that Lord Althorp was not in the favourable po sition of the present Chancellor, with a surplus re venue. When they first went to Lord Althorp, he said, " Well, gentlemen, as you ask me to take three millions of taxation off, what do you propose as a substitute ?"—(Laughter.) They replied that was co portion of their business, and his Lordship re marked that he saw no external demonstration except in Westminster , and, unless he found that such was rhe case, he could not move in the matter.—(Hear ) The result was, in a few days after, the largest depu tion that aver entered the halls of Downing-street, mem o b n e l r y s o of n Parliame nt that occasion headed by all the metropolitan Members, and the Members for Surrey, Middlesex, &c., twenty-two r a r They not Members all.—(Hear, to go with them to the Chancellor, but they compelled them when they got there to do their duty. The deputation consisted of two from every parish, and amounted to 126 members in all, and when Lord Althorp came into the room his hair literally stood on end.—(Laughter.) They told his Lordship chat this was not all they could do ; and the result was they succeeded in getting off the house tax.— (Hear, hear.) It was proper, therefore, that they should now adopt a similar proceeding with regard to the window-tax.—(Hear, hear.) Let them 10 , ,k at -he position of the present Chancellor of the Exche pier ; he had a surplus of 3} millions, two millions )f which he proposed to apply to the National Debt, ind he had then 1 millions of clear surplus, out of which the people were determined this tax should be epealed.—(Cheers.) Mr. Brown went into statistics, ,nd urged the meeting to accept no compromise, but rather keep the tax on than consent to any modifi cation. _ _ _ . Mr. W. Wremasts would feel it to be unnecessary :o waste any time in detailing to a meeting like that the oppressiveness and injustice of this tax. It lay in 4 nutshell. Out of 3,500,000 houses in Great Britain, only 487,000 paid the tax ; and in those the inequality and injustice of the impost were most apparent. He would take the three first Dukes upon the peerage ist, and he found that the tax amounted to 24, Ind 3 per cent. upon the rental ; whilst he would find thousands of poor tradesmen who paid window-tax to the amount of from 25 to 27 per cent., so that they ,aid 14 times as much as the richest and noblest in the land.—(Hear, hear.) He had carefully examined ~he consequences to the revenue of the abolition of taxation for a great number of years past, and he found that, up to the year 1846, the actual loss to the revenue had only amounted to one-third of the um which the tax formerly used to produce. Iu 1846 when the great articles of consumption were treed from taxation, scarcely one tax that had been repealed had diminished the revenue in the least. He ventured to say, if the Chancellor of the Exchequer would .rive up the 1,800,0001. which the window-tax yielded that the real loss to the revenue would be nothing like 700,000/. In conclusion, he designated the tax as a most unjust, a most oppressive. and he would add, a most impious tax —(Cheers ) Mr. SYMES, of Islington, and Mr. FREETII, of Marylebone, also supported the resolution. The motion was then put to the meeting and car ried with exclamation. Mr. BELL, M.P., for St. Alban's, proposed the , econd resolution : " That the foregoing resolution be communicated to he Chancellor of the Exchequer, with a r, spect . ul re peat that he will be pleased to appoint an early day to receive such deputations; and that a meeting of the said leputations be convened, and other arrangements made Jy the managing c+ mmi , tee as soon as an auseer be rc -.Rived from the Right Hun. Gentleman." the Hon. Gentleman expressed his intention of being present when this question was mooted i❑ the House of Commons. He believed had two or three gentle men been present when the motion was brought for ward last session, who were absent, but who ought to have been there, the scale would have been turned. Mr. MICHIE seconded the resolution. Mr. HEALEY regretted that they were now called upon to oppose this tax; for had the metropolitan Members done as they had promised, it woulci have been repealed long ago. They were told by those Members, who ought to have done their duty man fully, what they ought now to do, and how they ought to do it; but that came very badly from Mem oers of Parliament now, and he apprehended that it was the near approach of the dissolution of Parlia ment that was warning some of those gentlemen that It was time they began to set their houses in order. Mr. WYLD, M.P., cordially supported the resolu tion, and contended that the metropolitan Members would be perfectly justified in offering an obstructive Policy to the proceedings of the Government should this tax not be conceded. Lord DUDLEY STUART, M.P., was delighted to see so large and respectably composed a meeting of men determined to go to the Minister, and to tell him that whatever measure he *might introduce in the next session of Parliament, one above all was essential, and that was the repeal of the window-tax.—(Che L ers .) o. rd Whether there were a surplus or no surplus be ( Dudley Stuart) cared not, for if the peopl e were de termined not to pay it he knew very well that b . Government would find some means of meeting their dethands, or if they could not, they were no longer fit to be entrusted with the Govern ment of this great country.—(Cheers.) P s aid the time had General Sir De L. EVANS, ISIL- - now come when it behoved tbeform, e a t s rop ha ol d it b a e n en co t n r s u t l i ; tuencies to assert their rig hts, observed, this was almost an entirely metropolitan tax. He had never heard one plausible argument in favour of this tax, except that it was alm os t w h a t might be called en aristocrat ic tax; but whilst only 487,000 houses paid the impost, he should like to know bow many houses had been restricted of light and air by their desire to avoid this tax. He would venture to say at leas: half a million. Some obser vations had been made with reference to certain Members of Parliament not having been present at the last division in the House of Commons ; but he begged to say that if all had been there they would not have succeeded—(Cries of " No excuse.") True, it was no excuse; but, although Members of Par liament did their duty, they never could succeed un less there was a positive determination out of doors to get rid of the tax.—(Cheers.) Mr. WAKLEY, M.P., was glad to have heard the tone of the discussion, because it appeared that at last the inhabitants of the metropolis had made no their minds, that in fact they had determined that this tax should be repealed.—(Cheers.) The real ob !struction to the Government was to withhold the sup ' plies; but to talk a little against them,. fwd Om to vote them money, was just the thing they liked ex \cessively. The L real obstruction to the Government would arise from the constituencies showing that they were in earnest that this obnoxious tax should be re pealed; for when the Ministers found that the metropolitan Members were so fortified and sanc tioned in their proceedings by their constituents, they would no longer be able to charge the Members who adopted an obstructive policy with illiberality or in justice, for, in point of fact, they would only be exer cising the functions which belonged to them from the very constitution of the House of Commons, it being the very nature of that popular Assembly that before supplies should be granted grievances should be redressed, and this was a grievance of such an ex tent that words could not describe it.—(Cheers.) He contended that they should not charge Members of the House of Commons with not doing their duty if the constituencies would not do theirs.—(Hear, hear.) He asked them had they now ev en "screwed their courage to the sticking -place," were t h e y now even prepared to instruct their Mem bers to withhold the supplies, should this tax not be repealed ?—(Loud cheers.) If they would not coma to that resolution he thought that they should not charge Members of Parliament with neglecting their duty, for if the constituencies did theirs, he w as confident their representatives would do theirs. At the same time they should bear in mind that a man could not always control his own actions ; and last session of Parliament, when the window-tax question was raised, he was, unfortunately unwell. Upon every former occasion he had both spoken and voted against the tax ; and in 1848 he had stated, as he stated now, that the whole matter rested with the metropolitan constituencies.—(Hear, hear.) He was delighted to find that his Hon. Friend near him (Mr. W. Williams) was now a metropolitan Member, and he could speak to his bold and manly conduct.— (Hear, hear.) He had seen the wonderful effects of his speeches where there was so much distaste for truth that the moment the Hon. Gentleman got on his legs, three or four Members might be seen running away from him.—(Laughter.) He thought it was hardly fair that constituencies should com plain of their Members if they were not prepared to act themselves. Let the constituencies call upon their Members to tell the Government that they should not have money ,if they did not re• dress grievances. He hoped to see petitions showered into the House of Commons like hailstones, and that every man who rented a house or room would send in his individual petiton. His Hon. Friend the gallant General near him seemed to think the stoppage of supplies an extreme measure; but it must be remem bered lhat this was an extreme measure, of the most disgraceful and immoral character, and if after all other means had failed with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or with Parliament by petition, then, in his (Mr. Wakley'6) opinion, there was but one course, and that would be, the withholding the sup. pliv-.—(Cheers,) The resolution was then carried unanimously. Mr. FREETR moved, and Mr. BROWN seconded a vote of thanks to the metropolitan Members whoihad attended that meeting, which was also put and carried nem. con. Mr. W. WILLIAMS, M.P., in returning thanks, observed that if the twenty-two metropolitan Mem bers would determine with him in stopping the sup plies, unless this tax was repealed, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Government would soon give way._(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN begged to remark that Lord John Russell, as a inetropo!itan Member, had been invited to that meeting—(Laughter)—buy he was not there. —(Hear, and laughter.) Nor had he had the courtesy to answer the communication. Had they had his Lordship there for half an, hour he (the Chairman) had no doubt but they would have derived a great deal of infortnatiun, and might also have told his Lord ship that which would have done him a great deal of good.—(Cheers and laughter.) Lord DUDLEY STUART reiterated the views of Mr. Williams, in reference to a stoppage of the supplies, amidst loud cheering. A. resolution to the effect—" That petitions of meet ings sh.uld not, in future, be signed by chairmen on behalf of meetings, as they were only counted as one by the House of Commons, but by the meeting indi vidually," was ultimately adopted ; and after some further discussion a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Return.) In the week ending last Saturday the deaths registered in the metropolitan districts amounted to 1,369. Taking ten corresponding weeks, namely, the first in each of the last ten years (1841-50), it will be seen that the present return shows a greater number than in auy year except 1845, when the deaths rose to 1,417; and 1847, when they were 1,510, during a week of low temperature (the mean reading of the thermometer having scarcely ex ceeded 29 deg.). In 1848 the deaths of the week amounted to 1,364, when the mortality was aggravated by influenzl, which had not oisappeared, but was rapidly on the decline. The average of the ten weeks was 1,167, which, if corrected for increa'e of population, bec o mes 1,273. The zymoric or epidemic class of fatal diseases, which in the present return numbers 239 cases, exhibits little difference w hen compared with the previous week; but the cases comprising affections of the respiratory organs shows a considerable advance, the deaths thereia enumerated having risen tram 264 to 321—a result pro bably due to unseasonable waimtn and mois•ure of the weather. It will be observed with a mean daily tem perature which has been throughout the week much higher than is usual at this season, having ranged from 5 to 14 degrees above the average, that whereas bron chitis, pneumonia, and phthisis (or consumption) were ;atal in 120, 90, and 124 cases respectively in the pre vious wet-k. they have now risen to 152, 101, and 147. Diseases of the organs of respiration, exclusive of hoop. ing cough and phthisis, were fetal in the aggregate last week to 321 persons, whilst the corrected average is only 257, Atnimpt epidemics, smellenx carr ed off 24 children, and 4 m , n who had turned 20 years of age; m,asles 29 children, scarlatina 14, hooping cough 58, and croup 9.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. —About two o'c'oek on Si.. turday morning a man named Browr, a heckler, was found in the Old Fistimarket-close, having a razor in his hand, with which he had inflicted a deep gash in his throat. The wound bled proiusely ; and upon being questioned as to his rash conduct, he coolly replied that he " was cutting his throat." He was removed by the watchman on the beat to the Infirmary. The unfortunate man was the worse of liquor. —Edinburgh Courant. - 0 5 - - - 0 10 0 1 R. - - - - 5 0 (Id C. and V. T. K. - - 1 100': J. S. - - - - 010 0! R. G. - - - 2 20, Per Barclay and Co.
