MORALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of
deaths during the last week was only 786, showing a decrease
of 70 as compared with the previous week. Deaths from
diseases of the stomach, liver, and other organs of digestion,
are much above the average, being 90 to 68; measles still
continue more than usually fatal, the number of deaths
amounting to 67, average for five autumns 31. Only 29 died
of old age, being little more than one-third of the average.
The violent deaths were 22, of which 10 were caused by
fractures, contusions, and wounds, 7 from drowning, 3 hang-
ing and suffocation, and 2 from scalds. The return gives 3
suicides. Rain in inches 1.19.

THE ANNUAL FLOWER Snow.—The great Flower
Show of Literary Annuals is close at hand, and we hear
much in praise of the " rich and rare" qualities of some of
the specimens ; but we understand that one, of an entirely
novel character, is likely to eclipse them all, no less in tha
beauty and costliness of its pictorial illustrations, and the
elegance of its " complement extern," than in the novelty
and interest of its• literary contents. The illustrations are
all from designs made by GEORGE CArrERatoLE, expressly
for this work ; the literary portions are contributed by seve-
ral of the most popular writers of the day ; and the editor-
ship is entrusted to a lady (the Baroness Calabrella), whose
approved taste and judgment secure that choice and arrange-
ment of the materials, and that skill in putting them to-
gether, which are so essential to the success of a work of
this nature. The volume is entitled "EVENINGS AT HAD-
DON HALL," and we understand the "machinery" by which
the various tales, &c., are brought before the reader, is of the
most ingenious kind, and affords an opportunity of introduc-
ing personal sketches of many distinguished individuals in
the several worlds of fashion, diplomacy, and literature.
CONVERTS TO ROMANISM.—We have authority for
adding to the list of recent converts to Romanism the name
of Mr. Leicester S. F. Buckingham, the author of " Memoirs
of Mary Queen of Scots," who was received into the Romish
Church at 0. cott about the end of last month.—Post.
FARNINGIIAM FAIR, KENT.--This autumn fair was
held on Tuesday for the sale of cattle. There was a tolerable
good supply, and a fair share of business was transacted.
Bullocks, grass fatted, sold readily at 4s. 6d. per stone. Lean
beasts made prices ranging from 81. to 11/. per head ;:cows
and 'calves (Ayrshire breed), 121. 12s. ; ditto, Durham, 13'.
and 141. Some heifers, with small calf, made 101. ; ditto,
down calving, 71. and 81. a-head. The horse field was large,
and prime young cart colts fit for work fetched from 211.
to 30/. ; good horses fit for London or farming purposes from
15/. to 25/. each ; aged cart horses made a low price, and
good nags, from 12/. to 21/. There were a few pens of store
pigs, and those strong, and free from distemper, sold well.
There were few samples of new hops offered, but purchasers
were reluctant.

SALE OF THE DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND RAIL..
WAY.—This line has at length, after a brief negotiation,
passed into the hands of Mr. Hudson, M.P., who has pur-
chased it on behalf of the Newcastle and Darlington Com-
pany. The guaranteed price is 301. per share, or 20/. less
than the original cost; but Mr. Hudson has agreed to re-
commend 33/. Os. Bd. to the Newcastle and Darlington Di-
rectors, and there is little doubt that it will be the sum
paid. The arrangement, we believe, was completed at Sun-
derland, on Friday last. —Tyne Mercury.
A few days ago, George Hudson, Esq., M.P.,
Chairman of the York and North Midland Railway Company,
gave a substantial dinner to the servants of that establishment,
amounting in number to 260—including the mechanics in the
locomotive and carriage shops, engine- drivers-stokers, switch-
men, porters, &c.. They sat down to dinner, at half-past six
o'clock, in one of the large workshops appurtenant to the
York station, which is 150 feet long, and 60 feet wide. The
marinas in which the health of Mr. Hudson Was received
evinc3d the esteem in which he is held by this numerous
body of artisans. The most deafening cheers, renewed for
several minutes, followed the toast. The other toasts were
also warmly applauded, and the evening's entertainment
passed off in a most agreeable manner. The party broke up,
about eleven o'clock, and repaired in good order to their re-
spe tive homes, no little gratified with the entertainment.—

CITY OF LONDON REGISTRATION.—On Tuesday
an objection was made by Mr. Quin to the name of Mr.
Bright and two other members of the Anti-Corn-law League,
The Barrister thought the names of the parties should be
retained on the register, the lease being in their names, and
therefore constituting them joint occupants.
