MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The returns for the week ending Saturday, Oct. 19, shows a decrease of 123 as compared with the preceding week. The number of deaths in the first class is still large, being 226, while the average for the autumn months is only 191. This has been caused chiefly by small• pox, scarlatina, and typhus, which, with the average, are respectively as follows :—Small- pox, 35-17 ; scarlatina, 81-45 ; typhus, 38-29. The number of deaths from pneumonia is small, the average being 107, while last week it was 74. Asthma shows a still greater decrease. The following is an analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture, two cases, of which one was by a fall. Wound, three cases, result of accident, of which two were suicides. Burns, one case. Poison, two cases, of which one was suicide. Drowning, two cases (whether the result of accident or otherwise, unknown). Hanging, one case (suicide). Suffocation, two cases. Total, nine males and four females (including one case of tetanus). The quantity of rain fallen is great, as might have been anticipated, the amount in inches -being 1.78 the greatest quantity fallen in any week, probably, during the whole year.  It is scarcely necessary to remind the public that the holyday given on the occasion of the Queen's visit to the City next Monday has nothing whatever to do with the payment of bills of exchange If these are due on Monday, they must be paid the same as on any other day ; and if a bill becomes due and is dishonoured on Saturday, notice of dishonour must be given by the holder on the Monday as a matter of course. The only exceptions to the general rule are Good Friday, Christmasday, and days appointed by her Majesty's proclamation for solemn fast or thanksgiving.

SIIOCKING CASE.—The Baltimore papers of Monday, August 12, contain the particulars of a most distressing case of death by violence. It seems that a young lady, living with her married sister, was receiving the attentions of a young man very obnoxious to her sister and brother-in-law. Returning home with him one evening, her lover and her sister's husband had a slight scuffle in the hall, and the young lady left the house, and stayed all night with a neighbour. The next morning she returned to the house by the back way to get her smoothing irons and some coal, which she had been using, and found her sister, who immediately commenced an altercation, and told her she should not have any of the coal. The other replied that she had bought a part of it and would take it, and was stooping to get it from the bar, when her sister seized the shovel and struck her twice on the back of her head. She immediately fell, and was taken insensible into the neighbour's house where she had passed the night—the lady hearing the noise, and running to see what was the matter. This was about two week's ago ; and the poor girl, after lingering in great distress, died on Thursday night of last week. The names of the parties in this most lamentable transaction are withheld. On Monday last, a woman named Twomey committed suicide by hanging herself at Ballyvoduck, while labouring under temporary insanity. In the circumstances of her death she discovered the extreme caution and discernment of the means of procuring it which people in that most dreadful condition are frequently found to exhibit. The particular turn of her insanity appeared to be constitutional, for her mother had drowned herself. A short time previous she sent all the perst ns who happened to be in the vicinity of the house in which she lived upon different feigned errands' tied her own hands behind her back, and even provided that an article of furniture upon which she stood should, without the possibility of her design failing, slip freely from beneath her feet.—Cork Reporter.

SUICIDE FROM DOMESTIC DIFFERENCES: An inquest was held last evening, at the Black Lion, Waterlane, Fleet-street, before Mr. Payne, on the body of of Anne Duck, aged 48, who destroyed herself with poison. Elizabeth Duck said that the deceased was her mother, and resided with her, her father, and her sister, at No. 1, Britton's-court. Deceased was very unhappy, and witness knew no other cause for her unhappiness than the quarrels she had with her husband. On many occasions, when suffering from his ill-treatment, she had taken poison, and on Sunday week she made a vow that, if he did not come home in a peaceable manner, she should not live another Sunday. On Sunday morning last her husband came home, and the first thing he said to her was, " How about the lawyer," in allusion to his having been bound over to keep the peace towards her some time previous. 'Witness, while sitting up in bed shortly afterwards, waiting for deceased to come to her, heard her draw the cork from a bottle, and believing that she had drank poison, got out of bed to see. Shen then found two phials, both of which smelt of laudanum. Witness got her hot water to try and make her vomit, but finding that ineffectual, she went by her father's advice for a surgeon. She heard the deceased say that she had taken eight pennyworth of laudanum. Her father was a waiter at the Half Moon, Borough, but contributed nothing to the support of the family. He frequently beat her. Police-constable 327 said that be had frequently been called upon to quell disturbances between deceased and her husband. The husband he often heard use towards her the most disgusting language. Mr. Keasley, assistant to Mr. Day, surgeon, of Salisbury-square, said that, while administering emetics to the deceased, she begged to be left to die, saying that she wished the Almighty would tako her. Notwithstanding all his efforts she sunk and died from the effects of the laudanum. She told him that she had become possessed of the poison by purchasing a pennyworth at a time. Stephen Duck, the husband, said that the unhappy differences between him and his wife commenced a year ago, when he found her inconstant to the marriage vow. Two sons of the deceased said that, ever since their childhood, the deceased and her husband had been in the habit of quarrelling through jealousy of each other. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insani
