HEALTII IN TIIE METROPOLIS.—It is generally
admitted that no season for many years past has been so
free from disease as the ',orient. Within the list few
weeks, however, a considerable increase in deaths has taken
place. One burying ground last Sunday had an addition
of sixteen funerals to the number of the previous week.
This increase of mortality is to be attributed in part to the
typhus fever, which is raging with great violence in several
part; of the metropolis. There is a good deal of sickness
prevalent at the present time, whieb is occasioned by the
very variable state of the weather. Reports have gone
abroad that cholera is again raging in London ; but, although
numerous cases of what is called English cholera are to be
met with, nothing at all approaching in severity to cholera
generally so named is petovptible. At the present season,
bowel complaints are usually very prevalent, and this year
they have been mush increased by the abundant PpplY a
all kinds of fruit, and by the immense quantities of 'Un-
wholesome and unripe gooseberries, apples, pears, $O.,
which have been in the market, owing to the heavy winds
shaking Ow trees. Colds and coughs are also unusually
prevalent at the present time, the weather passing so ra-
pidly from heat to cold, and from' .:aki t,-4. Ip,at, but with the
euepkippo potic,O, London was never more free heal the
ravages of diseasto,

We here see, that, notwithstanding the recent pressure,
the Joint-Stock Banks have been able to keep up the cir-
culation. It would require a separate article to develope
how this has been unconsciously, as well as effectively, done
by the Joint-Stock Banks. It is a corrective tendency
in the very nature of them. At present, we are only
desirous of calling attention to the fact, that the circu-
lation having been kept steady by the Joint-Stock Banks,
the home demand not only remains steady likewise, but is
endued with a capability to take advantage of the cheap-
ness
consequent upon the slackness of the foreign de-
mand. Hence we find a consolatory reason to hope
that trade will not suffer the continued paralysis which
it did after the pressure of 1825 ; and the merit is
soLly due to the establishment of Joint-Stock Banks.
Not that the Joint-Stock Banks have merely a caprici-
ous power of conferring this benefit upon the country
they are, as we have- already said, the natural but
unconscious agents in such emergencies. Superficial
observers talk and argue as if a Bank could increase its
issues at pleasure, whereas there is actually as great a diffi-
culty in raising the circulation up to its proper level, after
it has unduly dropped from it, as there is in fiftini up a
body which has fallen. It is the public which do it, and
not the Banks. The Bank of England, indeed, is the only
Bank in the country which has the power of enlarging its
issues at pleasure. The rot of the Banks do not perceive,
much less direct, the principles upon which their circulation
oscillates ; this fact only hemg obvious, that the oscillation
is less with Joint-Stock Banks than with private Banks, and
more especially in periods of pressure, when the Private
Rink circulation appears invariably to give way. On the
present occasion the circulation, en masse, has been held
up by the firmness of the Joint-Stock Banks ; and to this
must be exclusively attributel the prospects which we have
been led to entertain of a revival of our trade, manuiae-
tures, and commerce,—Economist.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

E WEE K.

(From the Garlener's gazette.)

Mushroom beds should now be prepared for : get the
spawn and begin to work the dung previous to forming the
beds. Most of the market-;gardeners can supply the
spawn, which you must have all ready to use the moment
your bed is proper. Turn the dung frequently fora few
dt vs.

Sow Lettuce for plants to come in early in spring. The
green, white, and dwarf cos, also both sorts of cabbage
lettuces ; bet as they are to be preserved in frames, they
may be sown in warm borders, and afterwards mo‘ed
frames.
You may also take up f;avrard lettuces with plenty of
earth to their roots. and plant them in beds upon which
frames can be put in October. You will obtain lettuces in
the winter months.
Plant out Cauliflowers in sheltered spots, to check them
a little, about four inches apart, to be afterwards planted
in frames for protection in the winter. Hoe between for-
ward cauliflowers, and earth them up a little.
Plant out SAVOYS, CABBAGE, I3ROCoLI, from the seed-
bed to nursery-beds, and plant the strongest plants in a
good spot, if grown to stand.
CELERY ; plant out in trenches, for successional crops.
Earth up that already forward.
Sow SPINACH for successional crops.
TURNIPS ; thin out, if not hoed before.
ONIONS ; the Welch sort may still be sowed.
FRUIT of all kinds must be looked to, and when ready,
must be gathered on a dry day, but only such as are wirated
for immediate use.
Earwigs must be destroyed ; an ingenious contrivance,
adopted by Mr. Thompson, an amateur, has been found
very efficacious ; it is pieces of bamboo, nine to twelve
inches long, corked at each end, and a small hole bored in
the side, as large as a pea ; these are laid on the ground,
under Dahlias, or placed in them, after being first rinced
with sugar and water ;, they attract the vermin, and may be
gathered up and thrown into a pail full of hot water ; it
will destroy thousands.
DAHLIAS for show should be shaded ; each individual
bloom required should he prohibited from wind and sun,
and, indeed, prevented from moving about.

PARLIAMENTARY It zuzsruAttoN.—The lists
of objections to voters, and of the cl..ims of persons omitted,
may now be seen gratis at the overseer's houses, and on
the church doors. In cities and boroughs these lists should
be examined, as no notice is given to the party objected to.
On Saturday last the compositors connected with
The Sun Newspaper, sat down to an elegant dinner at
Mr. Parsons', the Stag Tavern, in the Fulham Road.
Several appropriate toasts were given, and many excellent
songs were sung, and the greatest hilarity and good-humour
prevailed till a late hour. It is but justice to state that
the dinner, wines, and general accommodations, reflected
great credit on the worthy host.
SUICIDE IN HYDE-PARK.—Saturday an inquest
was held at the Barley Mow, Mount-street, Grosvenor-
square, on the body of Mr. H. Crossley, hat-manufacturer,
I, Falcon-court, Red-cross-street, Borough, who shot him-
self on Friday. Thomas Goodwin, A 55, about eleven
o'clock on the previous day, was alarmed by the report of
a pistol in Kensington-gardens, and looking over the wall
saw the deceased lying in the ditch, in the agonies of death.
Deceased was lying about one hundred yards from the Ma-
gazine, on the side nearest Bayswater. Witness imme-
diately jumped over the wall and endeavoured to lift the
deceased up, when deceased looked into his face, and put-
ting his right hind on the ground, half-raised himself up.
Deceased did not speak, his tongue having been blown a
distance of about three yards. Deceased then fell down
on his side, and, after struggling in apparently the greatest
agony for nine or ten minutes, he expired. From an order
for hats found on the deceased his name and residence were
ascertained. The only money found on him was 3s. 6d.
Mr. John Cropper, of Martin's-street, Blackfriars, had
known the deceased about twenty years, who was usually
a man of high spirits, but had latterly become greatly de-
pressed in consequence of some acceptances coming due.
Oa Thursday he called on witness, when he appeared
much depressed. Verdict—" Temporary insanity."
A few wppitN ago a §erious disturbance arose at the
Christiania TheattP from a ludieron3 misapprehension.
One of the spectators fainted, and anotbe- immediately
called out for some water (in Danish, vand). Others be-
lieved they heard brand (fire), and immediately the greater
part of the audience rushed out of the house in the utmost
confesice It does not, however, appear that any one was
seriously 'hurt,

On Saturday, a Jew applied to the LORD MAYOR for an
order to the Governor of Giltapur-street Compter, to pre-
vent that officer from obliging a member of that religious
ommuuity to attend divine service according to the form of
the Established Church. The person upon whose behalf the
application was made had been convicted, under the Excise
Act, for having in his possession a quantity of glass upon
which ditty had not been paid, and was sentenced to impri-
sonment in the Compter. The moment he became a prisoner
it was expected that he was to become a Christian, for he
was obliged to attend the chapel when Mr. Boddington, the
chaplain officiated, under the severe penalty of a refusal to
ho allowed to receive visits, and in withholding of the occa-
sional little indulgences in food to which the persons con-
fineethere laid claim, according to ancient custom in the
City prisons. The prisoner happened to have a conscience
which revolted from Christian worship, but the Governor,
in answer to the appeal made to him on this subject, stated
that, if he listened to an excuse of the kind, the chapel
would be very irregularly attended, and Jew and Gentile
were therefore obliged to be present while the Clergyman
of the establishment of the Church of England performed
the duties of his situation.
Tue LORD Mayon had never heard that Jews were
obliged to go to a place of worship in which the service was
not sanctioned by their spiritual directors, and regretted
that any practice of the description specified prevailed.
Gooch, the principal gaoler, said that the order had been
general, because, to excuse themselves from attending di-
vine worship, almost all the prisoners confined in the
Compter we u'd pretei.d to be Jews.—(Laughter.) It the
Jews were excepted, the Irish labourers would be ready to
plead the same excuse, and say they were all Jews.
The LORD Mavon—ls there no course of interrogatory
by means of which it can be known whether a man is or is
not a Jew? The applicant—A real Jew has in his posscs-
s.on the articles of prayer, and is punctual in performing
the duty of grayer in the morning and the efterrroa. It
is easily meartained whether a man is or is not a Jew by
other means than those by which they are designated in
their infancy. I submit that it is exceedingly intolerant to
insist upon the obnoxious regulation, and to prohibit it by
such a severe penalty as the total prohibition of personal
comfort.

The LORD MAYOR—SO I think too, and I shall take
care and mention the fact in the proper quarter. I have
the highest opinion of the good sense and discretion of the
Governor, and I must confess that I do not understand
how a regulation so annoying to the prejudices of some
people should be adopted in the prison.
A woman, named Martha Jones, and a young man, who
it was beliQved was led into the serape without being con-
scious of the offence, were charged with having uttered a
bad half-crown.

Mr. Le-Srf, a coffee-shop-keeper, stated that the man
entered- the shop when he was busy, and TALL for some trifles
with half,a-crown, which witness would have thrown into
the till if he had not heard the woman, who was waiting
close- at hand, say to the prisoner, " it gone rto which
he replied, " Yes." Witness then looked at the half-crown,
and perceived that it was bad ; and he caused the prisoners
to be taken into custody.
The prisoner vowed that it was a mistake, and said she
did not know what passing bad money wag.
Mr. Field, the Mint inspector, here entered the justice-
room, and the woman burst out laughing the moment she
saw him. " What," said lie, " are you up again ?"
Martha Jones—Yes, I am, but this spooney says I axed
" is it gone ?" meaning the bad money. Now, you know I
could not be such a muff as to sly that. I don't deny being
a smasher, but I'm blessed ,if I ever said so foolish a thing
as that, I know.—(Laughter.)
The complainant was not able to produce the bad money
and the'case of course fell to the ground.

The Leto) MAYOR—I Shall catch you, Mrs. Jones,
" but you may go."
Martha Jones—No, you won't. I gets wiser every day
—you won't catch no bad money on me, I know. I know
a trick worth two of that. Well, good bye, my Lord—
good bye, Mr. Field, not forgetting you, Mr. nobler.—
(A laugh.)
