RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS —ln consequence of a regu-
lar express train having been put on from Bishopseate to
Newmarket, starting at S a.m., and arriving between 10
and 11 o'clock, the only special train next week will be on
Tuesday (the 2,000 Guinean day), leaving at 7, a.m., and
returning at 7 p.m.; the fares will be very low. As the last
ordinary train now leaves Newmarket at 4 o'clock, a train
will leave on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, at 7.20
p.m., in connexion with the train due in London at 10
o'clock. On Sunday (to-morrow) there will be a train for
Chesterford in connexion with the 1.30 p.m. down train.
The directors have set a very good example, by advertising
their arrangements not only in English, but in French and
German, and will no doubt succeed in inducing many
foreigners to visit the metropolis of the turf.

METROPOLITAN SANITARY STATISTIM—OR the
14th of April, a paper on the " Sanitary Statistic+ of the
Metropolis," was read by Mr.: R. T. Jopling, embody-
ing several interesting observations connected with its salu-
tary condition. The lira subject to which attention was
drawn was that of population as bearing on national pros-
perity. In table l it was shown that at the completion of
the nineteenth century the number of inhabitant* of this
metropolis will have reached the enormous amount of
4,818,062, presuming the ratio of increase to continue the
same as at present, vis. 1.515 per cent. per annum. To
accommodate this mass of human beings, there will be re-
quired 180,535 acres of ground, containing 650819 houses,
as shown in table 2, being an increase in sue of more than
double the present area of London. The results of table 3
exhibited that the daily consumption of water will average
101,137,302 gallons, an amount wholly beyond the present
means of supply. Should the Thames at this period re-
main the common sewer of the metropolis, we shall have
