The table of the mortality in the metropolis for the
week ending January 18, shows a decrease in the
number of deaths as compared
with the preceding
week, the total, except from violence, in the week end-
ing January 18 being 1,001, while in the week ending
January 11 it was 1,098. By far the larger number
of deaths during the past week have been from dis-
eases of the lu s and organs of respiration, the

number of deaths attributed to this cause being 325,
including no less than 146 cases of consumption. The
total number of deaths, including deaths from vio-
lence, during the past week, in the metropolitan dis-
trict, is 1,010. The total number of births in the
metropolitan district during the same period is 1,331.
During the week three males have died, of the re-
spective ages of ninety, ninety-two, and ninety-four
years, and one female died at Kennington at the age
of a hundred and five years.

the practice in these churches to Irate the stove burning
night dt.'"istohed we do not know, but in the' present
instance that *pearl to have been the case, and there is
ei;•try retis'on to' believe' Mid the pipe which was laid
along the goe'r Unprotected had hecOtnt heated, and set
the adjacent wood on fii'e.• The stove was IYlFteed near
the southmost window of 6. east gable, which was the
spot Ilherc the flames were first seen' by the young
woman Tt is to be hoped that in future all
church stoves will he effrefully watched. It will be re-
membered that a large chister of ancient churchet in
Dundee were nearly all consumed alert three years ago
in consequence of similar carelessness.
We may add, that the Lord Provost, Baillies Mack,
Wilkie, Duncan, and Gray, and Mr, Sheriff Spiers, and
other authorities, were early in attendance, along with
Mr. Brown, town architect. The Lord Provost, who
was on his way to his usual place of worship at the time
the alarm was given, remained on the spot until the
flames subsided. Mr. Hardie, Superintendent of the
Fire Brigade, who, on hearing the alarm, arrived at the
scene with great dispatch, so exerted himself that in the
course of the day he fainted from over fatigue and
anxiety. On being removed, and obtaining dry clothes,
he recovered, and, nothing daunted, returned to perform
his duties. Great praise is due to the soldiers of the
87th Regiment, every one of whom exerted himself most
praiseworthily, the fatigue party rendering themselves
highly useful at their engines, while those under arms
were equally so in preserving order among the vast
crowds which, throughout the entire day, flocked to
witness the progress of the conflagration. Each of the
churches, we are informed, was insured to the extent of
1,6001.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1845.

By way of enlivening the members of the North-
amptonshire Agricultural Protection Society, who
held their first anniversary dinner yesterday, at North-
ampton, Sir CHARLES KNIGHTLET, one of the repre-
sentatives for the county, indulged them with a
somewhat lengthy speech, which was filled, like one
of Cassandra's prophecies, with all sorts of horrors.
Considering that this speech was a post-prandial one,
we are surprised at its gloomy tone, for, generally
speaking, a good dinner works a most cheering revo-
lution in a man's spirits, and he is never so ready to
forget or make light of his troubles as when, like
Bhakspeare's Justice, "his bellyis with fat capon lined,"
and lavishly baptised with the ,generous juice of the
grape. When once " impletur..veteris Bacchi pinguisque
brines," away ,go his Oievalts, whether public or
private, and all that is lively an hopeful in his nature
sprouts into leaf But such was not the case with

Sir C. KNIGHTLEY at the Northampton dinner. The

rood things on the table seem to have had no enliven-
influence on his spirits, and he addressed the
any in as triste and morose a tone as if he had
tet dieting himself on crab apples and vinegar. The
sem,. 'twists, he said, had been shamefully used by
Ilinistexb-I, who bad trampled on these injured inno-
cents, jut.t as if they were so much dirt beneath
,their feet. There was first the Corn Bill, then
the Canada Corn Bill, then the Tariff—all these
iniquitous measures had been passed by Govern-
ment without the slightest regard to the delicate
issusibilities of the monopolists, and there was not
one of them but was fraught tith the deepest in-
jury to their pecuniary interests. But the Tariff was
lhe. great nuisance—the knock-down blow to the
ugricultnrists. They might hare stood up against the
.two corn Bills, but the Tariff had fairly floored them,
and he, the speaker, very much doubted whether they
-would ever be able to get upon their legs again.
.Meat which, in the good old times of monopoly, was
sixpence and upwards per pound, was now only four-
pence-halfpenny—a reduction not to be thought of
without dismay ! True, the country at large gained
by- such reduction—more especially the poorer
ckaies—but what of that ? The agricultu-
gists suffered by it, and what are the inte-
mats of the many compared to those of the few ?
BO not content with inflicting this prodigious amount
of ,mischief on the meek, unoffending monopolists,
the stoy.bearted Premier had actually gone the

LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1845.

After a brief retirement from active exertion at
Darrynane, Mr. O'CONNF:LL has once again appeared
in the field of political controversy. On Monday last
he attended, for the first time for several weeks, a
Repeal meeting in the Dublin Conciliation Hall,
which, as might be expected, was crowded to excess,
the liveliest curiosity being manifested to hear the
Hon. and Learned Gentlespan's opinions on the
subject of the late Papal rescript to the Irish Catholic
clergy. He was exceedingly concise on this ticklish
matter, and even treated it with a coolness bordering
on absolute indifference. Ile had been told, he ob-
served, that a rescript had been dispatched from
Rome whose direct object was to prohibit
the Repeal agitation. He admitted the re-
script, but he denied the prohibition. The resolution
sent by Doctor CROLLY to him as having
been adopted by the Bishop, was merely that they
would curry out the spirit of the rescript, which was
to the effect that every exertion should be made to
keep up and promote the spirit of benevolence and
charity. The rescript, therefore, should be put out
of the question. It had nothing to do with the laity
or with Repeal. This, it must be confessed, is an
exceedingly free and easy way of dealing with a
troublesome matter. Nothing can be simpler or
more explicit than at once boldly to deny that there
is anything in the Papal rescript which prohibits
the Catholic clergy from taking part in the
clamour for a Repeal of the Union. But is the
fact such as Mr. O'CoNNELL would have his hearers
believe it is? Unquestionably not. The rescript ex-
pressly enjoins the Irish Bishops to warn the priests
in their respective dioceses of the impropriety of mix-
ing themselves up with political agitation, and in this
,n sense it was understood and acted on by Archbishop
CEoLLY. There is nothing vague--nothing
vocal in the wording of the missive. The agitation
alluded to is clearly that of Repeal, for in what other
great political controversy have the priests taken so
active—so decided—so ensrgetic a part ?As for
Mr. O'CONNELL'S interpretation of the meaning
of the rescript—namely, that it was merely a Papal
exhortation to the Catholic clergy to make
every on
in their power to " promote the spirit of benevolence
and charity"—" this is pure fudge," for what earthly
occasion was there for the PorE to enjoin the Irish
priesthood to do that which it is taken for granted
that they are always doing, quite as a matter of course
—which, in fact, is the first and most imperative duty
attached to their sacred vocation ? As well might
the Archbishop of CANTERBURY issue a formal order
to the Protestant clergy, requesting them "to pro-
mote the spirit of benevolence and charity"—in other
words, to fulfil their ordinary duties as Christian
ministers ! But if the POPE'S rescript be so perfectly
harmless as Mr. O'CONNELL proclaims it to be, why
does he recommend to the Irish people the " absolute
necessity" of their sending two delegates to Rome fur
the purpoae of laying a statewnt of their case before

"We regard the work before us, the Silent Friend,' as a Work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from
indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and

" The authors of the Silent Friend' stern to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which aro, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
Which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.

somewhat unhealthy, fever and mrsiderahle influenza. having

SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURA L SOCIETT.—The
September flower show of this Society, which took place on Tuesday
at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, was an excellent exhibition. The
collection of dahlias and miscellaneous flowers was such as to reflect
the highest credit on all those concerned, both as regarded the num-
ber of the specimens and the surpassing beauty of their hues, and
we only regret that the elements treated very slightingly such old
friends as nurserymen and amateur gardeners, who are usually said
to be " well acquainted with the weather." The morning com-
menced with a monotonous drizzling rain, relieved now and then by
heavy squalls, and presented an appearance which immediately pre-
cluded all idea of out-door enjoyment. All the animals in the gar-
dens remained in their apartments, with the exception of a hydro-
pathic old polar bear, that was evidently reminded of the home of
his childhood by the boisterous weather ; and, under these circum-
stances, it was impossible to expect that the " floral " fete which
had been announced would go off with eclat. The orchestra per-
formed, in the open air, several overtures, with double-reefed music-
books, and the audience, under a grove of umbrellas, enjoyed the
treat; but the (lay continued so inclement as utterly to destroy all
enjoyment, unless that which was derived from the admirable exhi-
bition of flowers, which could n,t be too highly commended.
EFFECTS OF THE RAILROAD.—AS one of the
numerous effects of the railroad on roadside inns, may be mentioned
the following :—The Cock at Eaton Scoon, in consequence of the
bankruptcy of the owner, was put up to auction during the last
week, and was knocked down for 1,2001. The proprietor of the same
premises, four years since, was offered no less a sum than 7,0001.
for them. This inn in its palmy days was accustomed to send out
between thirty and forty pair of horses daily.--Cambridge Advertiser.
