' MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of
deaths during the week ending Saturday last was 1,043 ; exceeding
that of the previous week by 98, and 37 less than the average of five
winters. The deaths from measles and bronchitis are still unusually
numerous. Those from only age were only 44, while the average is
90—a proof of the mildness of the season. The violent deaths were
28 ; of which 7 were from burns and scalds, and 5 suicides. The
execution of the bricklayer's labourer at Horsemonger-lane Gaol is
given, but not that of the young woman at the Old Bailey, which
show that these returns are still imperfect.
- - COURT OF COMMON CoUNcIL.—On Thursday, at a
Court held for the dispatch of :public business, a vote of thanks
was read, from the Corporation of Dublin to the Lord Mayor,
acknowledging his "splendid hospitality" to the late Lord Mayer of
Dublin, and the deputation by which he was accompanied. Her ma-
jeity's -answer to the City Address, having been read, wag Ordered to
be entered on the minutes of the Court. Several applications from
the managers of Railway Companies, respecting the erection of
termini in the City of London and the borough of Southwark, were
then referred to a Parliamentary Committee. Sir Peter Laurie
having previously, of course, attempted to. crack a joke at the
expense of the application. Mr. Bedford (late ' chairman of
the !Thames Navigation and Port of London Committee) in-
troduced the report of the committee, to whom the reduc-
tion . of 'the- Thames Navigation , debt had been referred
Showing in what manner the Corporation were enabled
to raise a sum of money, at a reduced rate of ieterest, to pay off the
money charged on the tolls and duties, payable by virtue of several
Acts, to improve the navigation of the river. A summary of the
report having been produced, the
,Court expressed . their unanimous
approval of its substance; the City Arms were then affixed
to the requisite bonds, prepared by the Comptroller. Aeon-
siderable time was- afterwords occupied in appointing committees for
the year ensuing, and also the presentation of petitions. Among
these latter, one of the .most import was from the Metropolitan
' Working Classes' Association on public health, intrusted •to Dr.
Lynch, of Farringdon-Without Ward, which was postponed till the
next fneeting of the Court.
THE POTATO; FAMINE.—BIERINGHAM, THURSDAY.—
Thedire results of the disease in the potaip crop are now being most
severely felt in the midland counties, but mere especially in the town
of Birminghain and its neighbourhood, where the price has not only-
advanced to -twice the amount of last year, but the quality has be
come so bad .that there is scarcely a good one to be 141 d. .
DAGUERREOTYPE CASTS,--Though 9113101 t surpassing
' belief, casts have actually been made from daguerreeiype plates ; a
Imould having.been obtained from the plate in the usual Vianner, Hu-
pressions ate obtained ffeni the mould by the electro pro:. This
is among the most startling' facts of the age. We have seen several
beautiful examples produced by Dr. Paterson, of Glasgow, tAI whom
ibe an the honour.—Aet. Non, • - ''
