MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of
deaths during the week ending Nov. 23 is 914, show-
ing a decrease, as compared with the previous week,
of 158. The average for the autumn months being

we are glad to see, are on the decrease, the number
being only 60, while, during the previous week, they
were 84. With the exception of a slight increase

neglected to state the means by which death was
caused. Rupture of the liver, one case (accidental,
but the cause not described). Wound, one case
(suicide). Drowning, five cases, but whether acci-
dental or from design, juries vvere'unable to ascertain,
or have neglected to state. Hanging, two cases
(suicides). Suffocation, one case (accidental). Burns,
five cases, of which four were by clothes taking fire.
Scald, one case (by drinking hot water). Poison,
three cases, of which two were suicides—in one it
could not be ascertained whether it was the result of
accident or design. And Overdose of Medicine, one

FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.—The Chamber of Representa-
tives met yesterday, but there not being a sufficient
number of Members present no business could be done.
The price of bread at Brussels has fallen one centime

We hear that Hr. Charles Lafitte, Director of the
Rouen Iron Railway, has been engaged in forming at
London a Company for the construction of an iron
railway from Paris to the frontier of Belgium, his object
seems to have been attained. The English capitalists
who have just received from the Rouen Railway a divi-
dend of 10 per cent. on their original capital, they could
not resist the temptation held out by a new and groat
undertaking which promises still more advantageous
results.

The Rhenish railway yielded in October, 1844, a
sum of 50,621 dollars. The number of passengers was
35,574 ; and the quantity of goods 223,226 cwt. In
October last year there were only 27,334 passengers, and
114,801 cwt. of goods. The receipt was 32,528 &Mere
In the first ten months of 1844 the receipt was 464,830
dollars, exceeding by 198,783 dollars the receipt of the
corresponding period of 1843.
FRONTISRB OF HUNGARY, Nov. 19.—1 learn from
authority that may be depended on, that Colonel
Berago, in the Austrian service, who has returned from
his mission to the Black Sea, has given a very favourable
opinion on the project of opening a direct communica-
tion between the Danube and the Black Sea, by means
of a canal from Chernawoda to Kustendsche. The ob-
stacles are said not to be great, and by no moans finch as
they have been represented. The advantages which
would result from this new communication are incal-
culable.

Zettrag.'Nov. ~3,

A letter from Munich, of the 15th, says:--" A
dreadful crime was committed here yesterday. While
Captain N---- was attending his duties at the Ministry
of War, his wife, only twenty years of age, and the fe-
male servant of the house in which she resided, were
murdered. A razor, with which the crime was perpe-
trated, was found near them, and all the closets and
drawers had been plundered of their most valuable con.
tents. The man servant of Captain N-, wh© ia Im-
pacted of being the murderer, bee gel"

more serious character than was at first supposed. All
the disposable troops of the Basque provinces and Old
Castillo hare been sent uselessly in pursuit. The Mili •
tary Commandant of the Bastan has directed upon Le-
camberri a battalion which was at Tolosa. A battalion
of Leon has made a similar movement on the side of
Alzagua, and a detachment of cavalry and two corn
panies of infantry are on the roads leading to the valley
of the Borunda. The Commandant-General of Logrono,
the Captain-General of Burgos, in fact, all the military
authorities, are in motion. Whatever superiority his
knowledge of the country may give Zurbano over his ad-
versaries, it is impossible that so great a display of force
and so considerable a number of flying columns, can
have no other object than the pursuit and arrest of a
band of nine men."
The Bayonne correspondent of the National, in a
letter dated Nov. 22, says—
" What I gave yesterday as doubtful is confirmed to-
day by several letters that have reached me. The in•
surrection looks threatening in every direction, and I
learn that throughout the province of Lerida, as well as
in its capital, the movement is ready to burst forth. Two
other letters, just arrived, state that the whole of Aside-
' lusia is in a state of fermentation. The last accounts
from Galicia also state that the pronunciamentos of two
of its most important towns were hourly expected."
The same journal that so long cheered Mr. O'Cox-
SILL on in the cry for repeal, now turns round upon
him as if he had betrayed the liberties of his country.
The writer unwittingly has let out the cloven foot.
Mr. O'Comusx.r. is a man of peace—he will not go to
war with England to gratify the Radicals of France—
he will not shed a drop ;of Irish blood, and therefore
he is thus scoffed at by the National:—.
" Pursuing the course of his sentimental promenades
through Ireland, he arrived on the 20th at Limerick. A
large body of people went out to sleet him to Ballyma-
crea, and the day ended, according to the usual custom
of the United Kingdom, by a banquet and immense
speeches. The Limerick correspondent writes, that a
god (Neptune) figured in the procession, mounted on a
four-wheeled car, dressed in calico, and wearing a gilt
paper cap. O'Connell appeared revived and refresked
by the month ho had spent in retreat at Darrynane.
Three or four thousand peasants having assembled under
the windows of the hotel at which he stopped, the great
agitator hastened to address to them one of those incom-
mensurably anodyne harangues of which he is so prodigal,
taking care, as usual, to speak a great deal about him-
self. The Monarch,' exclaimed O'Connell, contem-
plating his poor countrymen, ' has under kis command a
most powerful army.' The hyperbole is rather too ex-
aggerated even for an Irish lawyer. It is, however,
justified to a certain extent by the conduct of O'Connell,
who, with that great army of which he is so proud, con-
fines his exploits to processions and feastings. The
Liberator then told the people to continue to agitate,
without, however, breaking the peace. This reminds us
(we mean no offence to O'Connell) of the history of
Harlequia,wko gave a drum and a trumpet to his children,
and recommended them to amuse themselves, but to
make no noise. Such is O'Connell. He collects together
thousands of men ; he romances with a sonorous
voice of ' Green Erin' and her future Parliament ; he
promises them for the next year,
.for the next day, their
independence and the end of their misery ; and then,
when those poor people have given vent to their pa-
triotism by their hurrahs—when they have heartily
laughed at the jokes of the great agitator, he sends them
back to their potatoes, if they have any, with the in-
junction to behave themselves. According to him, the
liberty of Ireland is not worth the shedding of a single
drop of blood. In the meantime oppression continues to
entail misery on the Irish, and hunger or the English
market decimates their ranks. All this, however, little
moves the pacific agitator. O'Connell is certainly a great
philanthropist, and although a Roman Catholic and the
pupil of the Jesuits of St. Omer, the English Methodis•
Societies ought to look upon him favourably."

We are sorry to hear that Lord Nugent met With
a serious accident, whilst riding from Twickenham, on
Saturday last. His Lordship was cantering along
the road, and riding loose at the same time, when
his horse fell, and rolled completely over
him. His Lordship, although much shaken by
his fall, remounted his horse and rode on to
town. On arriving at Hathaway's Hotel, Mr. Travers
was sent for, and he at once discovered that his Lord-
ship had sustained some internal injury, and had frac-
tured three of his ribs. We are happy to find that the
Noble Lord is rapidly recovering, and it is expected that
he will suffer no ulterior inconvenience from the effects
of his accident.

:MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
The arrangement of the Account has produced a fur-
ther rise this afternoon in the value of Consols, which
close at 100 i for Money, and at 101 to for the 17th
January ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. were
1021 ; and the Three per Cents 99i to 100.
The Foreign Bonds drooped a little. Spanish Five
per Cents. were 231 to 24 ; and the Three per Cents.,
35-41 to ; Portuguese Converted, 531 ; Mexican Ac-
tives, 35i to 36i ; Belgian, 1011 ; and Dutch Two-and-

394 ; Rouen and Havre, 495. ; Central of France, tat ;
Boulogne and Amiens, 81s.
The ship arrivals do not bring any later news to-day.
In the Discount market money has not become so
much tighter as was expected a fortnight since, for in
fact it is comparatively plentiful, time of year considered.
The new railways likely to be sanctioned by the Legis-
lature will not be so numerous, probably, as the many
advertised prejects would lead some to expect, and con-
sequently the available surplus capital may be found
sufficient.
Beyond the continued rumour of a compromise having
been entered into by Messrs. Rogers and Co. for the re-
covery of their property, nothing further seems to have
transpired.
The Funds have to-day been again higher. Consols
for immediate transfer have been marked 1004 to loot
and for Time tool to 1001. Exchequer Bills have been
at the reduced premium of 58s. to 60s. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 1024 to 1 ;
and the Three per Cents. 991 to Bank Stock is
2064 to 205; and India Stock 287. The Consol account
is now in course of adjustment, and goes off tolerably
well. The Commissioners took Reduced Three per Cents.
at 494, and New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at
104

In the Foreign Funds there has not been any con-
siderable amount of business done to-day. There is a
fall to notice in Russian Stock to 1181, and in the Four
par Cent. Dutch to 96k. In Belgian Bonds an advance
has taken place to 102 k. Spanish Bonds are firm at
240-, and Portuguese Converted at 56.
the transactions in the Share market have not been
numerous to-day. Prices in general are the same as
yesterday.
