NOTE.—The deaths are returned according to the
superintendent registrars' districts, as it is found im.
practicable to distinguish every place separately.

We have much pleasure in announcing that a
Privy Council will be held at Windsor in the course
of next week, at which a day will be appointed for a
general thanksgiving to Almighty God upon the
great decrease of cholera. We have no doubt that
the day of thanksgiving thus announced will be
everywhere observed in a grateful and becoming
spirit.
DEATH Or THE EARL OF ALBEMARLE.—This
venerable Peer expired at his Beat in Norfolk, Quidden-
ham llall, on Tuesday last. His Lordship was born in
1772, and succeeded to the title in the same year on the
death of his father. He held the office of Master of the
Horse from April, 1835, to September, 1841, serving
both our late and present Monarch in that capacity. The
deceased will be succeeded in the earldom by his eldest
son, the Viscount Bury, who was born in the year 1794.

FIRES IN LoNDoer:—The records kept by the fire
brigade of the outbreaks in the metropolis and its suburbs,
during the present year, commencing from the Ist of
January, detail upwards of 700. The probable amount
of property destroyed at these fires is about 150,0001.
ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE CHIEF CON
STABLE OF SAFFRON WALDEN.— AUDLEY.END,
THURSDAY.—ShortIy after eleven o'clock on We dneSday
night the inhabitants of the town of Saffron Widen
were aroused by piercing cries of " Murder," which,
upon inquiry, were found to emanate from the domestics
in the service of Mr. Camplin, the chief constable of the
town, who it was feared had been assassinated. Mr.
Camplin, it appears, had been engaged in his ordinary
duties in the course of the evening, and on returning
about 11 o'clock he had scarcely crossed the threshold of
his dwelling when be was shot at by some person con-
cealed near to the premises, the contents of the weapon
lodging in the lower part of his body. The report of
fire-arms alarming the inmates, they hastened out to
ascertain the cause, when Mr. Camplin was met bleeding,
and suffering much from his wounds. At that moment,
however, nothing seems to have been noticed of the flight
of the assassius. Suspicion fell upon a young man,
Pellett, and the police were instructed to proceed and
effect his immediate capture. In the course of an hour
he was apprehended, and notwithstanding the lateness of
the night. at once conveyed before the Mayor, who de-
tained him on the serious charge. Witnesses were called
who deposed to the necessary facts, and the accused was
accordingly remanded. Pellett, it is said, had been
heard to threaten the officer before. Several medical
gentlemen are in attendance upon Mr. Camplin, who,
although seriously injured, is going on favourably.
By degrading the female character, men most
effectually cb grade their own.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
Would a man frequently calculate his income acd
expenditure, he would escape many a bitter refl,ction;
for he must be lost Ao every generous feeling of pride
and honourable principle who wantonly incurs debts,
which he knows he cannot discharge.—Eliza Cook's
Journal.
ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—A numerously-
attended meeting of the fellows of this college took place
yesterday afternoon, in the theatre of the institution, to
elect from among themselves two gentlemen as members
of the council in the vacancies occasioned by the resigna-
tion of Mr. Richard Welbank, and the lamented death of
Mr. Aston Key. The candidates brough forward were
Mr. George Pitcher, of Great George. street, Westmin-
ster, and Mr. John Bishop, of Bernard-street. The fel-
lows having balloted, the President declared these gentle-
men were duly elected members of the Council of the
Royal College of Surgeone.
