INFLUENZA.—During the week before last the mor
tally of persons of, all ages was particularly numerous, occa-
sioned by the prevailing disorder, the influenza. Sunday
afternoon the streets of the metropolis and roads leading to the
numerous burial grounds, presented a distressing and mourn-
ful appearance from the many funeral processions. So nume-
rous were they at the extensive burial-ground of St.
John's Wood, Regent's Park (they amounted to 85) that it
was.necessary to appoint two extra clergymen, besides the re-
sident one, to read the burial service in proper time. In Pad-
dington-street burial-ground, St. Marylebone, 32 ; Padding..
ton church-yard, 51 ; St. George's, Uxbridge-road, Hyde
Park, 49 : St. Pancras Old Church, 77 ; St. James's, Hamp-
stead road, 53; Tottenham-court-road (the Tabernacle) 21.
The mortality during the last week was more considerable than
the preceding three weeks. There have been more funerals
at the great cemetery on the Harrow-road, during the last
three weeks, than during the preceding six months. Many
funerals were detained in the burial grounds for one, two, and
three hours, until the graves _were completed for their inter-
ment, so abort a period being allowed for the sextons to pre-
pare them. The congregations at the churches and chapels
yesterday presented a similar appearance almost to a general
mourning.
on an infi‘.lnest44 14 taken at Dath on the body of
a poor fellow named Hope, the jury found that the de-
ceased died from dygtitution,
Monday !mine miscreant entered the stable of R.
Anderson, carter, Closeburn, and cut the hough sinews of
his horse in such a cruel manner that it was considered ne-
cessary. to put the poor suffering animal out of pain.—

of the gateway, about six o'clock the preceding evening, saw
a lad draw in the yard a truck laden with two cases. The
prisoner was following close behind, and- having lifted up one
of the cases, was carrying it deliberately away, when he (wit-
ness) collared him.

The boy, who is in the service of Messrs. .tainburn and
