THE POET'S PROPHECY.

I do not want to imitate old Moore,
Who often tried the future to explore.
I never handle matters of chronology
By meaps of signs connected with astrology.
Far more I know of waistcoats, coats, and breeches,
Than fortune-tellers, almanacks, and witches.
Yet, notwithstanding this, my humble muse
Is half-inclined to tread in Murphy's shoes,
By telling you the reasons she has got
For thinking winter will be hard or not.
Judging from signs, I do not think I'm wrong
In saying winter will he hard and long.
I fancy that the snowdrop's slender leaf
Shows certain signs that winter won't be brief;
The crocus and the hyacinth as well
The self-same story of the winter tell ;
And there is something in the robin's note
Which indicates that warmth is far remote.
Now, if you think I'm right ix such a guess,
A warning take, and look to winter dress.
Moses aid Son's warm coats you must regard,
If winter's season's to be long and hard.
No opportunity have Moses' lost
In making preparation for the frost.
The trading bard's prediction, kindly meant,
Should lead to Moses' famed establishment,
Where winter dress for moderate price is sold,
Adapted to the bard's predicted cold.

KENT COUNTY MEETING.—The following circular
has been sent, we believe, to nearly every farmer in
West Kent:—" The West Kent Committee most
earnestly solicit your early attendance at the county
meeting on Thursday next. The several committees
are summoned to meet at the Bull Inn, Penenden-heath,
at t ,n o'clock in the morning, when they hope to have
the support of every yeoman and friend to British in-
dustry and capital. Provision will be made against un-
favourable weather. It has been thrt atened that Mr.
Cobden and his free-trade 'party are to oppose us. Give
them a meeting, and let them see that the yeomen of
Kent will not submit to be robbed any longer by such a
selfish and un.English faction. Consider that the issue
of this great struggle depends on yourself', and the result
cannot be doubted.--=West Kent Committee, 17th Jan.,
1850." It is observable that nobody signs this circular.
That fact is easily explained; the statement about Mr.
Cobden's attendance, and any efforts to get Free-traders
present, being without one single particle of truth. It
is whispered in Maidstone that a certain number ;I
" bullies," who sometimes officiate for the Conserva-
tives at our borough elections, are to be hired to hoot
down the free-trade speakers, should there be any. This
is a dangerous course. W. e hope the report may not be
true. The people of Maidstone, at the last Stanhope
meeting here, were shut out of their own Town-hall by
their own police (by order of somebody). They will not
suffer themselves to be "gagged" a second time.—Maid-
stone Gazelle.
[ ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills, a sure Re-
medy for Coughs, Colds, and Oppression of the Chest.
These complaints being accompanied, more or less, by fever, the
most prompt measures should be adopted to reduce the febrile
action of the system, and allay the irritation of the affected
parts, for which purpose nothing surpasses Holloway's Pills.
Let the sufferer then have immediate recourse to a few doses of
this inestimable medicine, which will speedily remove all weight
or pain in the head, pains in the chest, or a troublesome cough,
and thereby promote an easy respiration, and effect a certain
cure. For Asthma and all affections of the lungs they are
equally efficacious.— Sold by all druggists, and at Professor

BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN LONDON.
(From the Registrar-General's Return.)
In the week ending last Saturday, 1,156 deaths
were Tegistered in the metropolitan districts ; the
average for ten corresponding weeks of previousyears
(1840-49) is 1,125, which, if a correction be made
fur increase of population, becomes 1,227. The
lowest number in the ten weeks was 916 in 1840 ;
the highest was 1,401 in 1848. Though the rate of
mortality has much increased since December, and
the present return shows an increase of nearly an
hundred on the previous week, the deaths are still less
than the average by 71. To the coldness of the wea-
ther may be ascribed the increase of Mortality which
recent returns have exhibited. In the last three weeks
the deaths from phthisis or consumption have been re-
spectively•l29, 140, and 157 (the corrected average
for last week being 146) ; from bronchitis 103, 120,
and 131 (the average being 73) ; from asthma 19,
35, 27 (the average being .52) ; and from pneumonia,
95, 83, and 85, whilst the average is 117. Of the 85
persons (comparatively few) who died last week from
pneumonia, 60 were children ; but of the 131 who
died from bronchitis, which much exceeds the average,
by far the larger proportion were persons of advanced
age. Seven men and 14 women died last week
at 85 years of age and upwards; one of the latter in
Bishopsgate "Workhouse, had reached the age of 99.
Epidemic diseases continue to be less fatal than usual,
except- measles, which carried off 37 children, or
rather more than the average. This disease ranged
in the corresponding week of ten previous years from
II to 51. Only 10 deaths occurred from diarrhoea ;
and no deaths are ascribed to cholera in the returns of
the week; but a man who had cholera in August,
and never wholly recovered from the effects of it, died
in St.
During the la
.Thomas's Hospital,sts vvhera he had been for nine
eeeven weeks only two deaths
from cholera have appeared in the bills of mortality.
A few cases are selected from the Registrars' re-
port :--
In Camden Town (sub-district), at 30, Cambridge-
street, the son of a navigator, aged 1 year, died- of
1" acute-hydrocephalus (congenital), slight fever (1
week), convulsions."
At 19, Cambridge-street (same as above), the
daughter of a whitesmith, aged 16 months, of " per-
tussis (10 days), pneumonia (3 days)." Mr. Holl
'describes Agar Town, where this street is situated,
as " damp, badly drained, and unhealthy."
At St. Clement Danes, in
Nag's Head-court, the
daughter of a hawker, 11 months, of " convulsions."
Mr. Jones states, that " Owing _to the bad drainage
the filth runs out beneath the water sink, and creates
so intolerable a smell that one cannot enter the yard
for it."

At Hackney-road, in Turville-buildings, a wadding
dealer died of " chronic asthma (5
years)." Mr.
Murray states that the court is crowded, close, and ill
ventilated, and that the water not being laid on, it
must be begged from neighbouring places.
Kent-road (sub-district), in Ann-street, the son
of a hawker, 10 weeks, of " herpes and debility."
Mr. Fitch states that " the parents and other inha-
bitants of the street are for the most part hawkers of
vegetables, &c., and have suffered severely from want
during the late inclement weather."
Upper Clapton, Caroline-street, is described by
Mr. Montaigne as " very filthy, over-crowded, and
seldom cleaned."

Births in the week 1,383.
The mean daily reading of the barometer at Green-
wich Observatory was 29.574 in. The mean daily
temperature ranged from 25.5 on Tuesday to 40.6 on
Saturday. The mean of the week was 31.1, which is
5.5 less than the average of the same week in seven
years. On Tuesday the mean temperature was
nearly 11.1ess than the average.
