It is stated that under the term Metropolis are cotr-
pr:sed 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 St. Marylebone ;
St. Pancras ; Kensington; Fulham ; Hammersmith
(Chapelry) ; St. Luke, Chelsea; Paddington • St. Mary,
Stoke Newington ; St. Leonard, Bromleyy. ; St. Mary-lc-
bow ; Camberwell ; Greenwich ; St. Nicholas and St.
P.ul, Deptford; and Woolwich. The population as enu-
mertit...d in 1831 wa; 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
/840, it must be borne in mind that the metrepolis
creases nearly two per cent. annually.; and that, if the
populaCm had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths
would hive been 1-27th part more numerous.

There is tit, wr:lcl- or tionk.stio novels who Sur-
passes Mrs. Trollrpe is the clelineatitn of certain plimes of
society, aim we doubt ciiietlicr she h..s ever been equalled in
the portraiture of those characters who figure in them m0,..t
proarinently. The person ages she introduces to the reader aro
tliorn:wlily English, and this accounts for the extensive popu-
larity of sac!' a work as " The Widow Married"—certainly the
most effective of all her novils. We have heard she has chosen
a subject affording the finest possible scope for a new work, to
be commenced in the forthcoming number of " Colburri's New
Monthlyt.',agdescribing the progress to literary emi-
nence of a youth ef high intellectual promise. The scenes,
cbe haracters, and incidents among Which he is placed are said to
pourtrayed in her happ4.st style, and the sloty of the :larva-
tore to be one of singu'ar and very pleasing interest. The hero
:of the new work is'cailed " Charles Chesterfield."
