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 ; Kensing on ; Fulham ; Hammersmith
(Chapelry ) ; St. Luke, Chelsea!

Stoke Newington • St. Leonard
bow ; Camberwell% Greenwich ; St. Nicholas and St.
Roil, Deptford; and Woolwich. St. Mary,
merated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for
1836 was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that
year by 52. In comp.iring it with the weekly deaths in
1840, it must be borne in mind that the m-.Aropolis in-
The populSattionMaasryeniuc--
tn-eases nearly two per cent, annually ; and that, if the
poput ion had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths
would have been 1-27th part more numerous.

HUNGARIAN JEWS.—There does not exist
throughout the whole of Hungary one purely J.:wish
colony ; but here, as elsewhere, they arc scattered over
the kingdom in cities, towns, and villages. In 1785, their
numerical amount was only seventy-five thousand and
eighty-nine, but twenty years later it had already extended
to one hundred and twenty-seven thousand, eight hundred
and sixteen, making in that comparatively brief period an
increase of fifty-two thousand, seven hundred and twenty_
seven, more than two-thirds of the entire number ; and
according to Csaplovics, whose statistical work on 110,_
gary was published in 1829, they had then attained the
immense aggregate of one hundred and sixty-five thou-
sand, seven hundred and seventy-seven ! They have in
the country three hundred and forty-two synagoges, and
as many Rabbins.—Miss Pardoe's City of the Magyar.
ARMY AND NAVY.—The January Number of
" The United Service Journal, and Naval and Military
Magazine," contains, among other important papers_

liar power of scoftening the light to weak and irritable
eyes, and the immediate and continued relief that its chas-
tened transmission affords—their freedom from the perni-
cious attributes of ordinary glasses ; in short, to a combi-
nation of properties which render them superlatively pre-
eminent in preserving the powers of vision unimpaired to
extreme old age. Their Voice Condncyors extend t!'e
