MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The return for
the week ending the 25th was a slight increase as
compared with the previous week, but is still under
the average. The total number of deaths was 876,
previous week 862, average 883 ; and, taking the
average for the last five years, the number was 946.
This shows that though the weather has been unu-
sually dry, and there have been keen east winds, the
general health of the population of London has not
suffered. Indeed we hear from the different hospitals
that at no former period were there so few cases of
disease in these establishments. The beds for pa-
tients in one establishment are nearly empty. In one
hospital where they have beds for twenty-six, only
two patients were received. In cases of small-pox,
scarlatina, and croup, the amount is considerably
above the average, which is 161, while last week it
was 206. In diseases of the lungs there is a consi-
derable diminution, the averaga being 286, while last
week it was only 239. Thirty-six persons died of
small-pox, and of these twenty-four had not been vac-
cinated. The number of violent deaths was 12—ave-
rage 24. Of these there were two cases from frac-
ture or contusion by falls—one by a carriage, one from
swallowing a needle, four from drowning, one from
murder, and only two from suicide. The thermometer
was highest on Friday, 66.8, and lowest, on Satur-
day, 42.8.

ASCOT RACES.—Bell's Life in London, Sunday,
June 2, will contain glycographic engravings of the Ascot
prizes, anticipations by Pegasus, full particulars of the ex-
humation and mutilation of Leander, the three tilting
matches, settling for the •Derby, and all other sporting
varieties. Bell's Life of last Sunday, May 26, gave upwards
of five folio columns of Epsom Races, with a portrait of the
winner, by Mr. herring, Chantilly, Derby, and Oaks, and an
epitome of the week's miscellaneous news, and 100 advertise..
ments chiefly connected with sporting matters. The inser-
tion of a single advertisement in Bell's Life may be equally
beneficial to that of half-a-dozen in some journals. A six-
pence, or six penny stamps, to Mr. Clements, jun., 170, Strand,
will at all times insure a copy of Bell's Life by return of post.
The weekly sale of Bell's Life exceeds 20,000 copies. It is
published in time for the Saturday afternoon railways.

rived at the Chain Pier last evening, by the General Steam
