THE WIDOW of the lal'e Rev. GEORGE
Enw kltD lIOLLEST, of Frimley. Surrey.—Frimley, Bag-
sit it, December 31, 1450. —An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence
is respectfully sub nittei by i few friends and neighbours on behalf
of the WI DOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLI,ES c,
who for a p .rio.l m 1s ye trs, in an exemplary manner, performed
the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of
atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. [Wiest was suddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provisi.o
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. Holle,t will commend itself to the generous consideration
of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as
human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a
family so fearfu:lv bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exc •ed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in al/41 of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will he thankfully received by the following baukets :—Messrs.
Berries. Farquhar. and Co.; Messrs Williams, Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish-
square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens
and Illandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com-
mittee :

The leading. principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk b made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
the true rate of Prein:um for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted ,in, or systematically applied.
Whatever he the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this ouestion, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Aver ige, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal, sis of its own
experience, from time to ti'• e. adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investig& ion will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Corapsny upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report. which is too lengthy for publication :

„ .
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englar.f...
and but two in Ireland —one for 5001. and the other tor VlM—making
together 7001., which have been 'paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when It is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and
the 31st of slay, 1850. was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Prop .sass were made for 133 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.28. 6d.:
of these 125, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 38.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the c immencernent of the Company to the Ist of Tune last,
assuran es were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. fit these 54 lapsed,
Amounting to 23,9501. 16s. fid., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11d.
since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four mintlis they ha 4 considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de FEtatig, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbish p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but iu An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairmen, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

Tills work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. it un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap:dying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond pe reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or asy4stance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'MERT has takan the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the groat extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
We have great pleasure in announcing another in-
stance of official appreciation of gallantry and good ser-
vice in maintaining the honour of the British flag, and
in suppressing the infamous slave trade. At the earnest
recommendation of the Gallant Rear-Admiral com-
manding-in-chief the squadron on the south-east coast
of America, the Admiralty have promoted the com-
mander of the Cormorant, 6, steam-sloop, Commander
Herbert Schomberg (184 t), to the rank of captain, he
having, in the opinion of Rear-Admiral Reynolds,
earned his advancement, for his successful cruising
against the slavers on his station, but more especially for
his recent destruction of a fort that had fired upon the
Cormorant and killed and wounded some of his crew
when in the performance of his duty in capturing some
notorious slavers. Captain Schomberg is brother of
Commander Schomberg, of the West India flag-ship
Wellesley, and is the eldest son of the late Admiral
Schomberg. He entered the navy in 1817, was promoted
in 1827, and served as first lieutenant of the Melville,
flag-ship at Chiett.
THE LATE CAPTAIN OF THE VENGEANCE.—The Ad-
miralty have ordered a public funeral for the late Sir
Henry M. Blackwood, Bart.' and we understand the
gallant deceased expressed a desire to be buried at Has-
ler. The flag of the Vengeance has been lowered half-
flag-staff high, and the ship has been put into mourning,
out of compliment to her late captain, who was much be-
loved by all on board, To those of our readers who do
not understand the term putting the ship in mourning,
we may state that it is merely washing over with lamp
black her sides, streaks, and port-holes, which are
usually painted white. This gives a very dull and
mournful appearance to the vessel.
We are very sorry to announce that Lady Blackwood
is seriously ill.
Birkeuhead steam-sloops crew are to return to their
respective ships, and her marines to barracks. The
ship to be placed in first division of steam reserve at
Portsmouth.
Fairy screw-tender, Master-Commander Welch, has
been undocked at Portsmouth.

Bee screw-t.,nder has been taken in.
Fantime, 12, Commander Gennys, left Portsmouth on
Tuesday for Davonport, to join the Calliope, 26, and to
be paid advance before proceeding to New Zealand.

MILDNFS3 OF TIIE SE4SON.—WOOLWICH JAN 8.
—Several honey-bees were observed to-day carrying home
pollen or bee-bread into their hives, a circumstance which
has always been considered of early occurrence when wit-
nessed in the middle of February. The working bees have
been very active during the middle of the days of the last and
the present week, in carrying out the dead bees from
their hives and cleansing and preparing them for spring ope-
rations, which will evidently be earlier this season than they
have been for many years past. The long period of exceed•
ingly mild weather of the winter .418)0-51, has caused the
hive bees to consume their honey in greater quantities than
they do in severe winters, and those who keep these winged
lancers. would do well to feed them with a little honey during
the present fine weather.

PEPIra" DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE.—Cheap Re-
issue in Five Monthly Volumes, price 6s. each.—Vol. —NVe
place so high a value on Pepys' Diary, as the richest and
most delightful contribution ever made to the History of
English Life and Manners in the latter half of the seventeenth
century, that we record with peculiar pleasure the re-issue of
this latest and best edition of it, at a price which brings it
within the reach of all readers. The five handsome volumes
are now to re-appear at something like one-half their original
cost, and, so issued, there is not any publication of the time
which deserves a more extended patronage. The book is
admirably edited, and in the restored passages alone contains
an amount of original matter equal to an entire third of the
Diary as first published—these being often the most charac-
teristic and Pepysian passages of Mr. Pepys. And so we
commend the good Secretary of the Admiralty to a wider
circle of friends than he has yet had the chance of gathering
; round him. Literature contains no pleasanter companion.—

REPEAL OF THE WINDOW DUTIES.

Last night a crowded meeting of delegates from the
various metropolitan parishes assembled at the Mary-
lebone Court-house, in order to determine upon some
more effectual measures than have yet been taken to
secure the abolition of the window-tax, and to ar-
range the preliminaries of a deputation to the Right
Hon, the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the
subject.

Mr. J. A. Nicholay occupied the chair, and was
supported by Mr. Wakley, M.P.; Lord Dudley
Stuart, M.P. ; Mr. Wyld, M P. ; Mr. Bell, M.P. ;
Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P. ; Mr. W. Williams, M.P.,
and others. There was also a large attendance of the
rate-payers belonging to the Marylebone Rate-payers
Protection Association.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the
meeting, stated that he had received a communication
from Sir James Duke, expressive of regret that be
was unable to attend the meeting, but of his determi-
nation to give his aid in the repeal of this most ob-
noxious impost.—(Cheers.) It was with no small
degree of satisfaction that he observed so many mem-
bers of the Legislature present on this truly important
occasion, and so many members of the metropolitan
parishes also in attendance. It was not at all necessary
to go into detail as to the evils of the window-tax,
they were so well known and impressed on the minds
of the public, suffice it to say, that as a proof of the
obnoxious character of the tax amongst all classes,
whether a candidate for Parliamentary honours now
was a Catholic or Dissenter, Whig, Tory, or Radical,
had inscribed on his banners, " Total and imme-
diate repeal of the Window-tax."--(Hear, hear.)
Nothing could be more indicative of public feeling
than this.—(Hear, bear.)
Mr. WHITMORE, a member of the Marylebone
vestry, said it was proposed to make a public demon-
stration in reference to this measure. It had been
proposed on a former occasion that the parishes should
go to the Chancellor of the Exchequer separately, but
it had been felt that such a proceeding would divide
their forces, and that it would be much better that
they should go up in a body.—(Hear, hear.) Mr.
Whitmore moved the first resolution :

" That deputations from each of the metropolitan
parishes, accompanied by the metropolitan Members,
4nd other Members of Parliament favourable to the
repeal of the window-tax, be invited to meet as phe
'
Court-house, St. Marylebone, and proceed in a hod) to
wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the
purpose of urging the total, immediate, and uncon-
ditional repeal of the window-tax, and that Viscount
Duncan, M.P., be respectfully requested to head such
deputation."
Mr. BROWN, of St. James's, said he most condially
concurred in the proposal that the deputations from
the various parishes should go up to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer in a body. He very well remem-
bered the result of deputations on this subject as well
as the repeal of the house-tax to the late Lord
Althorp, when Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was
true that Lord Althorp was not in the favourable po-
sition of the present Chancellor, with a surplus re-
venue. When they first went to Lord Althorp, he
said, " Well, gentlemen, as you ask me to take
three millions of taxation off, what do you propose as
a substitute ?"—(Laughter.) They replied that was
co portion of their business, and his Lordship re-
marked that he saw no external demonstration except
in Westminster , and, unless he found that such was
rhe case, he could not move in the matter.—(Hear )
The result was, in a few days after, the largest depu-
tion that aver entered the halls of Downing-street,

all.—(Hear,
to go with them to the Chancellor, but they compelled
them when they got there to do their duty. The
deputation consisted of two from every parish, and
amounted to 126 members in all, and when
Lord Althorp came into the room his hair literally
stood on end.—(Laughter.) They told his Lordship
chat this was not all they could do ; and the result
was they succeeded in getting off the house tax.—
(Hear, hear.) It was proper, therefore, that they
should now adopt a similar proceeding with regard to
the window-tax.—(Hear, hear.) Let them 10,,k at
-he position of the present Chancellor of the Exche-
pier ; he had a surplus of 3} millions, two millions
)f which he proposed to apply to the National Debt,
ind he had then 1 millions of clear surplus, out of
which the people were determined this tax should be
epealed.—(Cheers.) Mr. Brown went into statistics,
,nd urged the meeting to accept no compromise, but
rather keep the tax on than consent to any modifi-
cation. _ _ _ .

Mr. W. Wremasts would feel it to be unnecessary
:o waste any time in detailing to a meeting like that
the oppressiveness and injustice of this tax. It lay in
4 nutshell. Out of 3,500,000 houses in Great Britain,
only 487,000 paid the tax ; and in those the inequality
and injustice of the impost were most apparent. He
would take the three first Dukes upon the peerage
ist, and he found that the tax amounted to 24,
Ind 3 per cent. upon the rental ; whilst he would find
thousands of poor tradesmen who paid window-tax to
the amount of from 25 to 27 per cent., so that they
,aid 14 times as much as the richest and noblest in
the land.—(Hear, hear.) He had carefully examined
~he consequences to the revenue of the abolition of
taxation for a great number of years past, and he
found that, up to the year 1846, the actual loss to
the revenue had only amounted to one-third of the
um which the tax formerly used to produce. Iu 1846
when the great articles of consumption were treed
from taxation, scarcely one tax that had been repealed
had diminished the revenue in the least. He ventured
to say, if the Chancellor of the Exchequer would
.rive up the 1,800,0001. which the window-tax yielded
that the real loss to the revenue would be nothing
like 700,000/. In conclusion, he designated the tax
as a most unjust, a most oppressive. and he would
add, a most impious tax —(Cheers )
Mr. SYMES, of Islington, and Mr. FREETII, of
Marylebone, also supported the resolution.
The motion was then put to the meeting and car-
ried with exclamation.
Mr. BELL, M.P., for St. Alban's, proposed the
,econd resolution :
" That the foregoing resolution be communicated to
he Chancellor of the Exchequer, with a r, spect. ul re-
peat that he will be pleased to appoint an early day to
receive such deputations; and that a meeting of the said
leputations be convened, and other arrangements made
Jy the managing c+ mmi,tee as soon as an auseer be rc-
-.Rived from the Right Hun. Gentleman."
the Hon. Gentleman expressed his intention of being
present when this question was mooted i❑ the House
of Commons. He believed had two or three gentle-
men been present when the motion was brought for
ward last session, who were absent, but who ought
to have been there, the scale would have been turned.
Mr. MICHIE seconded the resolution.
Mr. HEALEY regretted that they were now called
upon to oppose this tax; for had the metropolitan
Members done as they had promised, it woulci have
been repealed long ago. They were told by those
Members, who ought to have done their duty man-
fully, what they ought now to do, and how they
ought to do it; but that came very badly from Mem-
oers of Parliament now, and he apprehended that it
was the near approach of the dissolution of Parlia-
ment that was warning some of those gentlemen that
It was time they began to set their houses in order.
Mr. WYLD, M.P., cordially supported the resolu-
tion, and contended that the metropolitan Members
would be perfectly justified in offering an obstructive
Policy to the proceedings of the Government should
this tax not be conceded.

Lord DUDLEY STUART, M.P., was delighted to see
so large and respectably composed a meeting of men
determined to go to the Minister, and to tell him that
whatever measure he *might introduce in the next
session of Parliament, one above all was essential, and
that was the repeal of the window-tax.—(CheLers.)
o.rd
Whether there were a surplus or no surplus be (
Dudley Stuart) cared not, for if the people were de-
termined not to pay it he knew very well that b.
Government would find some means of meeting their
dethands, or if they could not, they were no longer
fit to be entrusted with the Government of this great
country.—(Cheers.)
P said the time had
General Sir De L. EVANS, ISIL- -
now come when it behoved tbeform, eatsrophaolditbaenencotnrsutli;
tuencies to assert their rights,
observed, this was almost an entirely metropolitan
tax. He had never heard one plausible argument in
favour of this tax, except that it was almost what
might be called en aristocratic tax; but whilst only
487,000 houses paid the impost, he should like to
know bow many houses had been restricted of light
and air by their desire to avoid this tax. He would
venture to say at leas: half a million. Some obser-
vations had been made with reference to certain
Members of Parliament not having been present at
the last division in the House of Commons ; but he
begged to say that if all had been there they would
not have succeeded—(Cries of " No excuse.") True,
it was no excuse; but, although Members of Par-
liament did their duty, they never could succeed un-
less there was a positive determination out of doors to
get rid of the tax.—(Cheers.)
Mr. WAKLEY, M.P., was glad to have heard the
tone of the discussion, because it appeared that at
last the inhabitants of the metropolis had made no
their minds, that in fact they had determined that this
tax should be repealed.—(Cheers.) The real
ob-
!struction to the Government was to withhold the sup-
' plies; but to talk a little against them,. fwd Om to

vote them money, was just the thing they liked ex-
\cessively. The Lreal obstruction to the Government
would arise from the constituencies showing that they
were in earnest that this obnoxious tax should be re-
pealed; for when the Ministers found that the
metropolitan Members were so fortified and sanc-
tioned in their proceedings by their constituents, they
would no longer be able to charge the Members who
adopted an obstructive policy with illiberality or in-
justice, for, in point of fact, they would only be exer-
cising the functions which belonged to them from
the very constitution of the House of Commons, it
being the very nature of that popular Assembly that
before supplies should be granted grievances should
be redressed, and this was a grievance of such an ex-
tent that words could not describe it.—(Cheers.) He
contended that they should not charge Members of
the House of Commons with not doing their duty if
the constituencies would not do theirs.—(Hear, hear.)
He asked them had they now even "screwed
their courage to the sticking-place," were they
now even prepared to instruct their Mem-
bers to withhold the supplies, should this tax not be
repealed ?—(Loud cheers.) If they would not coma
to that resolution he thought that they should not
charge Members of Parliament with neglecting their
duty, for if the constituencies did theirs, he was
confident their representatives would do theirs. At
the same time they should bear in mind that a man
could not always control his own actions ; and last
session of Parliament, when the window-tax question
was raised, he was, unfortunately unwell. Upon every
former occasion he had both spoken and voted
against the tax ; and in 1848 he had stated, as he
stated now, that the whole matter rested with the
metropolitan constituencies.—(Hear, hear.) He was
delighted to find that his Hon. Friend near him (Mr.
W. Williams) was now a metropolitan Member, and
he could speak to his bold and manly conduct.—
(Hear, hear.) He had seen the wonderful effects of
his speeches where there was so much distaste for
truth that the moment the Hon. Gentleman got on his
legs, three or four Members might be seen running
away from him.—(Laughter.) He thought it
was hardly fair that constituencies should com-
plain of their Members if they were not
prepared to act themselves. Let the constituencies
call upon their Members to tell the Government that
they should not have money ,if they did not re•
dress grievances. He hoped to see petitions showered
into the House of Commons like hailstones, and that
every man who rented a house or room would send in
his individual petiton. His Hon. Friend the gallant
General near him seemed to think the stoppage of
supplies an extreme measure; but it must be remem-
bered lhat this was an extreme measure, of the most
disgraceful and immoral character, and if after all
other means had failed with the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, or with Parliament by petition, then, in
his (Mr. Wakley'6) opinion, there was but one
course, and that would be, the withholding the sup.
pliv-.—(Cheers,)
The resolution was then carried unanimously.
Mr. FREETR moved, and Mr. BROWN seconded a
vote of thanks to the metropolitan Members whoihad
attended that meeting, which was also put and carried
nem. con.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS, M.P., in returning thanks,
observed that if the twenty-two metropolitan Mem-
bers would determine with him in stopping the sup-
plies, unless this tax was repealed, the Chancellor of
the Exchequer and the Government would soon give
way._(Hear.)
The CHAIRMAN begged to remark that Lord John
Russell, as a inetropo!itan Member, had been invited
to that meeting—(Laughter)—buy he was not there.
—(Hear, and laughter.) Nor had he had the courtesy
to answer the communication. Had they had his
Lordship there for half an, hour he (the Chairman)
had no doubt but they would have derived a great
deal of infortnatiun, and might also have told his Lord-
ship that which would have done him a great deal of
good.—(Cheers and laughter.)
Lord DUDLEY STUART reiterated the views of Mr.
Williams, in reference to a stoppage of the supplies,
amidst loud cheering.
A. resolution to the effect—" That petitions of meet-
ings sh.uld not, in future, be signed by chairmen on
behalf of meetings, as they were only counted as one
by the House of Commons, but by the meeting indi-
vidually," was ultimately adopted ; and after some
further discussion a vote of thanks was passed to the
chairman, and the meeting separated.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Return.)
In the week ending last Saturday the deaths registered
in the metropolitan districts amounted to 1,369. Taking
ten corresponding weeks, namely, the first in each of the
last ten years (1841-50), it will be seen that the present
return shows a greater number than in auy year except
1845, when the deaths rose to 1,417; and 1847, when
they were 1,510, during a week of low temperature (the
mean reading of the thermometer having scarcely ex-
ceeded 29 deg.). In 1848 the deaths of the week
amounted to 1,364, when the mortality was aggravated
by influenzl, which had not oisappeared, but was rapidly
on the decline. The average of the ten weeks was 1,167,
which, if corrected for increa'e of population, becomes
1,273. The zymoric or epidemic class of fatal diseases,
which in the present return numbers 239 cases, exhibits
little difference when compared with the previous week;
but the cases comprising affections of the respiratory
organs shows a considerable advance, the deaths thereia
enumerated having risen tram 264 to 321—a result pro-
bably due to unseasonable waimtn and mois•ure of the
weather. It will be observed with a mean daily tem-
perature which has been throughout the week much
higher than is usual at this season, having ranged from
5 to 14 degrees above the average, that whereas bron-
chitis, pneumonia, and phthisis (or consumption) were
;atal in 120, 90, and 124 cases respectively in the pre-
vious wet-k. they have now risen to 152, 101, and 147.
Diseases of the organs of respiration, exclusive of hoop.
ing cough and phthisis, were fetal in the aggregate last
week to 321 persons, whilst the corrected average is
only 257,

Atnimpt epidemics, smellenx carr ed off 24 children,
and 4 m, n who had turned 20 years of age; m,asles 29
children, scarlatina 14, hooping cough 58, and croup 9.
Typhus destroy, d 48 persons of various ages (rather
more Chan the average), influenza 5, erysipelas 14,
diurrhcea 19. A case of cholera, described as Asiatic,
is recorded, of which the particulars are given as follow;
—On the 30th of December, at she Mile-end Workhouse,
a chymist. aged 66 years, "cholera Asiatic (24 hours)."
He came from Shadwell to the workhouse, of which he
bai been an inmate trues years. He was a paralytc,
and was sudden y se)zA with cholera on Sunday.
But the sum of mortality entered in the register-
books last week is, as before, considerably swelled by
more than the t,,ir contingent , f cases on which inquests
have been held, maily at earlier dates, and a gri.at tua-
jortty of which tall under the several descriptions of
pois,,n, imp, ver medicine, burns and scalds, hanging
and suffocatiun, fracture,, contusions, aid
other injury. Six persons died from poison, among
whom was an ititont, on tie 26:h ult., to which the
nurse had given D,,v, r's powder (r ontainieg ()Own) by
mistake, the medicine having been ioreud.,d for the
mother. Of 27 p,:rsons wit • wet death from burns or
scold,. 21 were cbildren, and in 16 cases the aceident oc-
curred f, em the clothes iakieg fire. Sixteen dt aths oc-
curred from crowning, and 48 from fractures, wounds,
&c., of which 16 wet., by ;ails ,)n ttie streets or from
windows, stairs, sad sc..ffilds. 3 by falls on board ship,
10 by horses and carriages, 4 by machinery. A man
was suffocated on a lime-kiln, and 3 children in the bed-
clothes. Nine children died from want of breast-milk;
a man from privation, besides a child of seven months
" from disease of the head and scanty supply of food."
Two men were the victims of intempetance, besides two
who received fatal injury when in a state of intoxication.
The births of 829 boys and 763 girls, in all 1,592
children, were registered in the week. The average
number in correspandiug week of six years (1845-50)
was 1,469.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—About two o'c'oek on Si..
turday morning a man named Browr, a heckler, was found
in the Old Fistimarket-close, having a razor in his hand,
with which he had inflicted a deep gash in his throat. The
wound bled proiusely ; and upon being questioned as to his
rash conduct, he coolly replied that he " was cutting his
throat." He was removed by the watchman on the beat to
the Infirmary. The unfortunate man was the worse of liquor.
