MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths dining the week, ending Saturday April 13, is below the average. The total number was 870, the average being 883. In almost every case there is a decrease. Small-pox, epidemic diseases, and typhus show a slight increase, but so small that it hardly requires notice. The number of deaths from small-pox is 21, average 12 ; and of the 21, 14 had not been vaccinated. The deaths from diseases of the lungs are 257, average 269 ; pneumonia 55, average 65 ; bronchitis 17, average 11 ; consumption 136, average 155 ; old age 64, the same as the average; violent deaths 13, average 24. In this list the number e rthefsuicides murder 1, drowning 2, accidental,r scalds 2. The thermometer d s very high for the season, nuo week asn fromdheass i stood 3 the average being 61.1 for the highest. The highest temperature was on Tuesday and Wednesday, when the thermometer stood at 66.7, and the lowest on Monday 34 degrees. The wind during the week was westerly, and the weather altogether uncommonly fin, for the month of April.  In the French Chamber of Peers on Monday the Prince DE LA MOSCOWA (son of the unfortunate Marshal NEY) made a long speech on that interminable subject, the deposition of Queen PomanE. On the motion for a vote of one million of francs for secret service money, -he took a review of the policy pursued by the Government, and of course did not omit the resolution come to by the Cabinet, by which the QUEEN was restored to her former position, and the brave Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS re-called. This he condemned in strong terms, and after a similar speech from M. DE LA REDORTE, the Minister of Instruction (M. ILLEMAIN) spoke in defence of the Government, when the debate was adjourned. From all accounts, it was a very heavy affair, and it is needless to advert to it any further than by giving the following brief and pithy arguments from the Journal des Debats in favour of the policy adopted by the Cabinet :—" In our quality of conscientious chroniclers," it states, " we are obliged to declare that the long speeches of Prince DE LA MOSCOWA and Count MATHIEU DE LA REDORTE do not appear to us to change the state of the question. The point still to be ascertained is whether Admiral DUPETIT TROUARS had a right to pronounce the confiscation and deposition of Queen PoMARE, in order to punish her for having displayed 'ceuHnetnryealrklltiinngttre. r a fancy flag over her hut, which is pompously named It is rumoured in official circles, that, on the arrival 7dthKei a palace.
