It is stated that under the term Metropolis are com-
prised the 32 districts herein mentioned, which include the
City of London within and without the walls, the City and
Liberties of Westminster, the out parishes within the
bills of mortality—and the parishes of it. Marylebone ;
St. Pancras ; Kensington; Fulham ; Hammersmith
(Chapelry) ; St. Luke, Chelsea; Paddington; St. Mary,
Stoke Newington ' • St. Leonard, Bromley ; St. Mary-le-
bow ; Camberwell; Greenwich ; St. Nicholas and St.
Paul, Deptford; and Woolwich. The population as enu-
merated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for
1838 was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that
year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in
1640, it must he borne in mind that the metropolis in-
creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the
population had been the same in 183$ as in 1840, the deaths
would have been 1-27th part more numerous.

THE PUGNACIOUS PIEMAN.—On Friday, a
person of the name of Rogers, an itinerant vender of pies
in the Borough-market; appeared upon a summons before
Sir John Cowan, at the Town-hall, Southwark, charged
with having assaulted Liddle, the beadle of the market,
under the following circumstances. After Liddle had
stated his complaint, Sir John called on the pieman
to justify his conduct. The defendant, who pos-
sessed a most extraordinary volubility of tongue,
said that he bad been a housekeeper in the parish
for seven years, five cut of which he had served all
the persons, with the exception of a few of the nobs (Con-
servatives), with pies. To those parties he had made him-
self obnoxious, and the result was be was being eon-
' tinually pelted with rotten apples and other missiles.
Sir J. Cowan.—No doubt your conduct has been the
cause of your being disliked. Defendant.—The cause
is this : I suffered myself, some time back, to be
drawn over by the Radical party to oppose Church-rates,
and ever since then I have been opposed in the market.
Sir John Cowan.—You have told me a very long
story without saying one single word as to the assault.
Defendant—The complainant assaulted me first, by trying
to job out my eye with his staff. He was drunk at the time.
Sir John Cowan—You will find bail, ...nd then a Jury will
be enabled to decide as to whether you were in the right or
not. Defendant—Oh, that I can do—for I am an honest,
sober, hard working man. I have been 25 years in the army,
and in possession of a pension—besides, I maintain that under
the King's proclamation I have a right to stand and sell my
goods in any city, town, or market-place the same as if I
was free of such places. Mr. Ramsdell.—The Market
Committee has nothing to do with any party ; he was one
of the most violent men in the market, and his conduct is
such that they are determined to put an end to his nuisance.
Sir John Cowan—He bas shown his violence quite suffi-
ciently here : therefore he finds bail to answer the charge

TRIAL OF MADAME LAFFAItGE

SIXTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
The Commissioners appointed by the Court arrived
this morning, after having effected the exhumation.
Large quantities of chlorate were poured out round the
grave before it was opened. The coffin was little more
than three feat below the surface, and, when opened, the
body presented a hideous spectacle, and so much decom-
posed that, instead of the usual iastruments, it was ne-
cessary, in order to take from it what was wanted, to
use a spoon, which was sent for from the village.
-This species of paste, rather than flesh, was put into
earthen pots, to be brought to Tulle. On their ar-
rival, the chetaistsplaced their alembics on the road which
surrounds the Palais de Justice. Five or six furnaces
were ranged in a circle, and supplied with charcoal from
an enormous brazier, which was kept constantly at a
red beat. The heights which commanded this extra-
ordinary scene were crowded with spectators, looking
on the operations of this laboratory in the open air,
but they were hindered by a dense and fcetid vapour
from seeing much of what was going on. The odour
emitted was so powerful that, at the afternoon sitting,
it was thought it would be impossible to remain in
Court.

The Court presented a most singular aspect. Every
one was holding a handkerchief to the nose with one
band, and a smelling-bottle in the other. It is said
that upwards of 500 smelling-bottles were sold in the
course of the day.

At half-past eight the Judges took their seats, and
the prisoner was introduced.

Soon after the Commissioners enured in Court,
and the

The proces-verbal of the exhumation was read, the
parts brought away duly verified, and the Commis-
sioners, having been sworn, retired to make the analysis.
M. Buffiere was then called, and deposed that in
December M. Laffarge, being then in Paris, he believed
it was on the 19th, seat for him. M. Laffarge com-
plained of pains in his stomach, but had no vomitings
He talked of a cake be bad received from his wife, and
read the letter she had sent with it. The letter men-
tioned but one cake.

The prisoner repeatedly affirmed that she bad put in
four or five cakes, wrapped up like oranges, and to in-
dicate their size joined her hands. She also insisted
that they were not put into a small box. She asked
M. Buffiere if he remembered that part of the letter
which related to her sister, and on his answering in the
negative expressed her surprise.
The Advocate-General observed that her sister was
not then Paris.

Madame Laffarge replied that she had every reason
to believe that her sister was in Paris, as M. Laffarge
had written to say that she was shortly expected from
Dourdan.

M. Paillet read a letter to this effect from M. Lai.
farge, dated December 3, and observed that it could
never be believed that his client could have wished to
destroy her own sister.
Clementine Servat, the prisoner's femme de chambre,
deposed that she lived with Madame Laffarge before
her arrest, and was still in her service. She stated
that arsenic had been several times purchased by order
of M. Laffarge himaelf, for the purpose of destroying
the rats. As soon as the last parcel, bought by Denis,
arrived, it was given to Madame Laffarge, who imme-
diately called the witness, and gave it to her, with or-
ders to prepare it immediately, to be very careful with
it, and take it at once down stairs. On being ques-
tioned as to the cakes, Clementine declared that they
were made by Madame Laffarge (the mother), and that
she (the witness) went into the kitchen several times
while they were baking. They were the small cakes
called eheux, square in shape when made, but in baking
the corners became rounded, and the cakes puffed up.
They were brought by little Mdlle. BufHere.
This witness was examined at great length ; her evi-
dence, on the whole, was in favour of her mistress's
innocence.

At this stage of the proceedings, the smell arising
from the operations of the chemists became so dreadful,
that every person was compelled to have recourse to a
smelling-bottle. Madame Laffarge was so affected by
the smell that M. Paillet was compelled to sollcit that
the sitting might be adjourned till the next day, but
The Advocate-General objected.
The next witness called was Alfred Moutardier, for-
merly valet-de-chambre of M. Laffarge, aged 19. He
said .Five or six days after the arrival of my master he
complained that the rats came and drank his tisane, and
arseuic was asked for, and, as it was given to Madame
before him ;he asked three times to see it. Madame
then showed it to him, and he gave it to me to mix up
for the rats ; another time also I mixed some. I heard
that Denis had said Madame ought to be sawed into
four parts, and that if she would not go to the scaffold
he would send her there.

By the President—You have sail that M. Laffarge
complained of the rats drinking his tisane. It is as-
tonishing that a man on his dust h-bed should make such
an observation ? A. He did snake it.—Q. You say you
gave the parcel to Clementine to mix it, up for the rats ?
A. Yes ; but there was not timr, for Aldlle. Clementine
took a bath in the evening. She put it into a paper
and placed it in an old hat, where I found it, and told
Bardon to bury it in the garden ?—Q. Why did you
conceal it ? A. My intention was not to conceal it,
but I hardly knew what I did. The witness was
again asked whether he persisted in the declaration
which be had made as to the language which he said
bad been held by Denis against Madame Laffarge, and
reminded by the Avocat-General of the danger which
be run if it should be proved that he had sworn falsely.
He was also asked if he had not been incited to invent
what. the Avocat-General called this fable. The wit-
ness declared that he had spoken the truth, and had
, been incited by nobody.
Gabriel Dupuy, a shoemaker of Uzerches, was next
called, but he merely deposed to hearsay conversations.
His evidence had no real bearing on the case, except
as to his stating that M. Laffarge having called upon
him on his returning from Paris, and owing him money,
ha asked for it, when M. Laffarge said be had
brought 25,000 francs with him. M. Paillet
remarked as follows on this evidenee:—" It is
true that in virtue of the unlimited procuration given
by Madame Laffarge to her husband he had borrowed
25,000 f. at Soi4sons, which were seen at Uzerches, but
were ❑ot found at Glandier. What is become of this
sum ? This is one of the mystories of the affair. In
the meantime, thanks to the signatures given by Ma-
dame Laffaze to her husband, the whole of her patri-
ninny has been devoured.

The mother of M. LAffarge was now recalled.
The Advocate-General—Do you know whether M.
Laffarge brought 25.000 f. to Glandier? A.—My son
brought to Glandier one of those portmanteaus call d
saucissons, and told me to send the money for some pro-
tested bills, and that there were 3,900 f.
Some questions were then asked of this witness about
the arsenic. She said that the rats at Glandier were
not numerous ; that they had ry'ver been seen up stairs ;
that her son had not complained of them ; and that
arsenic had never before been employed there by him
for the purpose of destroying rats.
Francois Faugeras, a servant, stated that during the
illness of M. Laffurge he went to his room, wishing to
see him, but was twice refused admittance by Clemen-
tine and Alfred. The cook having said to him that
there was too much arsenic in the house, the witness
mentioned the subject to Alfred, who said it was unfor-
tunate that the arsenic had been discovered, and threat-
ened to drown himself. The witness then lived with
M. Buffiere.

Joseph Astier, an outdoor servant, corroborated the
last witness's statement as to the prevalent rumour that
poison had been administered to M. Laffarge, and that
the dying man himself supected foul play.
Oa Mdlle. Buffiere being asked by the President
whether she was a relation of the prisoner, she replied,
" No, I am the sister of her victim !”
The Court then adjourned till the following day.

SITTING OF SEPT. 9.—SEVENTH DAY.
The examination of Mdlle. Buffiere was resumed,
When we acquainted my brother with our suspicions,
he put his hand on his breast, and said he had taken too
much, and was a dead man, and entreated his mother
and myself not to leave him. On the eve of his death,
being alone with the prisoner in the room, M. Laffarge
desired that a leech, which had been applied to his
neck, might be taken off. The witness went to get a
little salt to make it do so. In the meantime the pri-
soner went to pull the leech off with her fingers, but
the deeeased seized her hand, rejecting it with a look of
reproach. t Two days after the death of her brother, the
witness, being in the room of the prisoner, wino was in
bed, was lamenting his death, and saying that his for-
tune and his patent were of no valuo to her without h
