MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.— The number of
deaths during the week ending Saturday, March 17, was
860, showing a decrease of 56 as compared with the previous
week, and being not less than 220 below the average of five
winters. This may be attributed chiefly to the extreme
mildness of the season, as we find that the deaths caused by
those complaints generally so fatal in very cold weather are
greatly below the usual number. For instance, the deaths from
diseases of the lungs and other organs of respiration, the
most numerous by far under any one head, were only 287,
average of five winters 363, and of fire years 294. Bron-
chitis, pneumonia, asthma, and consumption, have all been
very mild; and deaths from old age are not less than 52
below the average, which is 90, the total number last week
being 38. The violent deaths are 19, and the excess of
births over deaths 469.
ACCIDENT.—A young gentleman named Dewen, met
his death on Southampton waters, on Monday last, in an open
boat, which capsized, and his body has not yet been recovered.
Biscuits of maize or Indian corn, have been Illantritte-

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.
The German Universal Gazette of the 7th inst. announces
that Generals Rohr and Safft joined, on the 3d, the Prussian
corps of army along the frontier of Cracow. The war.rett:
serve was being actively organised in the circle of BreslS,_
and soms hundreds had already been incorporated with 1,7..
troops destined to operate against the insurgents. Thelat,teal
had partly withdrawn from the frontier, but only a Pill°
of their main force had entered Gallicia.
The same journal states, on the authority of a letter from
Breslau of the 4th instant, that a deputation of the notable
inhabitants of Cracow waited on the Austrian General Con
at Podgorze. on the 3d, and proposed a capitulation,
essay
that officer refused to accept until the arrival of the Ito
general. ea-
The Prussian Universal Gazette of the 7th inst. niss
tioned that Cracow was occupied on the 3d by the Russte
troops, without any resistance, and that the Austrians wS.
to enter the city on the following day. General Rohr,
tm
Prussian commander, had been ordered to cross the fron
on the sth.
The following details relate to events of a previous Ole'
but still possess much interest :
letter
.. The Austrian Observer of the 3d instant contains a _
from Podgorze, dated the 28th ult., which states that 01
Prussian General De Felden had placed himself at the het!'
/1
of 1,200 infantry,- 400 lancers, and four pieces of canto
communication with the Austrian General Collin, near Mt:,
bernn, on the 28th ult. There were at the same periodof
tioned in the neighbourhood of Cracow five battalions
Russian infantry, four squadrons of cavalry, and 600 co;
sacks, with a corresponding force of artillery. Letters, fr°r,
Wadowicz, of the Ist inst.; announced that a body of illy.
gents coming from Cracow, burning and destroppg evicies
thing on their passage, and who were marching on Watc'suse
through Jordanow, were compelled to return in conseclusssse.
of the arrival of a division of troops aided by a number 0, l'sees
santa. A second body of insurgents, who had SPPefed on ere
Limanowa, were likewise defeated. At Wadowia. mat set
nearly 150 prisoners captured by the peasantry ,r on!
insurgents." " Thus," says the Journal des Debate, °!•tect
side the insurgents, on the other side the peasants,
with the troops exercise over this unfortunate conna7d
all the horrors of war, with an incredible pertinacitY the
violence. Gallicia is cut into two unequal portions by ,be
high road of Lemberg. At the left of the road along .`o ,
Vistula, and as far as. the Calatine of Luplin, in the anslhe
kingdom of Poland, this country is quite level. On thenfis,
on the contrary, the country is hilly. The chain of the vit;(l
pathian mountains commences at Wadowicz on one side' see ,
on the other at a few miles beyond Gdow. Further z,
country becomes more and more mountainous. Ssrias;
the capital of the circle, is situated amidst loftY
and, at four leagues from thenee, commences- the Prete
cipal chain of the Carpathiaa mountains, which sePLal
Gallicia from Hungary. According to the AustrianZief .
accounts, the three columns which marched from "Zest
took different directions. The first advanced by the ""
t Cid°
road to Lemberg ;it was met by Colonel Benedek, a A ,
and dispersed. It took refuge at Wieliczka, situsts-to
15 miles from Podgorze. General Collin detachedAaa ,
companies against that column. •According to the s;:sa-
report the insurgents abandoned the town without a ire
test, but they were unable to return to Cracow. ThLi,
other columns passed between Wadowicz and pee
which are about 20 leagues distant from each other• of,
of those columns, which proceeded towards Jordstl4.,
appears to have suffered most. It was defeated by thse7o
rison of IN' adowicz, aided by the peasants. It is not eir, .
whether the remains of this column returned to Cracetess.
whether they took refuge in the Carpathian rneunseiess.
The third column, which appeared in the environs 0, moo
nowa, was repulsed. This town is thirty leagu,„ess ester
Cracow. The fate of this column is not known. isusts'essian
tion of the city of Cracow is most lamentable. The
corps has not yet passed the republican frontier, w" not
but two leagues distant from Cracow. It menaces tbrevrose
of the city the least susceptible of defence. For this be it
it is believed that the city must surrender. It sta'
collected that the insurrection proved abortive at Pall~
the the 19th of February, and that more than 500 indir end,
almost all members of the upper classes of the nobiliors
clergy, were arrested and confined in Posen and oths4
sian fortresses. A plan was formed to capturestithsli
during the night of the 3d instant. It was combine's 400';
attack from without the walls by the peasants tsseteg
to the estates of Count Dzialynski. This last -seals''
failed, but not without a sanguinary collison, cssety,
cast the lives of five of the principal conspirators. sae'
others were wounded, forty-five were taken pris°TieuiSlis,.
forty persons were arrested on suspicion. The Pr het
troops, moreover, obtained possession of four waggons tern,
with arms and ammunition. The German joulnals„,ooo°
some light on the plan of the insurgents, which was r',.'sve sans
a long time since, and was to have broken out at.seeditle,
time in several towns of the ancient provinces. tt',o 1111"„
to this plan, three fortified towns in the Duchy of re'Snet ta°

Posen, Graudentz, and Bramberg. The insurgents eriesocil

operations against the southern provinces of i 000.6
the conspirators had long hene tampering with tues.scissis
officers of the army and nobility. The consPl's the
Posen failed in consequence of the vigilance cci'seae",
authoritiel and the fidelity of the troops. „Os"
was the centre whence the signal for, the s pfr
tion was to be given. It was there, likewise, that aOr
visional Government was to have been formed, asniegst;e6
sequently a national representation, composed of u,ebe else,
from all the ancient provinces and from amongst 'soil's
grants. We have not yet received any information 'Tes.iir
