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 St. Marylebone ;
St. Pancras ; Kensington ; Fulham ; Hammersmith
(Chapelry) ; St. Luke, Chelsea; Paddington; St. Mary,
Stoke Newington ; St. Leonard, Bromley ; St. Mary•le-
tow ; 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
1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in-
creases newly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the
opullt ion had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths
would have been 1-27th part more numerous.

A TEETOTALLER'S FUNERAL.—On Sunday
evening last, the 13th inst., a teetotaller's funeral took
place, when the corpse was interred in the churchyard ;
here were upwards of 800 persons present. The person
being a yonng unmarried man, was attended to the
churchyard by a large body of temperance men, with
a;1 the insignia of celibacy. The order of the procession
was a; follows :—A garland in front, surmounted by a white
1 at and ribbons ; a heart, white gloves, &c., neatly cut out of
paper, all attached to the garland ; the corpse next ; then fol-
lowed twenty-four bachelors in twos (teetotalers), with white
sticks., dressed to the top with alternate strips of white and
r; d paper ; lastly following were the main body, consist•
irg of temperance men, with white hatbands and black
ribbons attached to their medals, and worn about the neck ;
v ith a goodly multitude of men, women, and children,
young and old, blind and halt. The whole moved forward
in the most orderly manner to the churchyard, and, after
depositing the remains of their friend and brother, planted
the garlands and sticks over his grave, strewing flowers,
&c., which when done they dispersed quietly, without offer- ,
it g the slightest insult to any person, although evening
service was performing at the time in the church. —Ken-

THE CHARTISTS AT GLASGOW.—In ad-
