MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths during the week ending Saturday last was 1,043 ; exceeding that of the previous week by 98, and 37 less than the average of five winters. The deaths from measles and bronchitis are still unusually numerous. Those from only age were only 44, while the average is 90—a proof of the mildness of the season. The violent deaths were 28 ; of which 7 were from burns and scalds, and 5 suicides. The execution of the bricklayer's labourer at Horsemonger-lane Gaol is given, but not that of the young woman at the Old Bailey, which show that these returns are still imperfect. - - COURT OF COMMON CoUNcIL.—On Thursday, at a Court held for the dispatch of :public business, a vote of thanks was read, from the Corporation of Dublin to the Lord Mayor, acknowledging his "splendid hospitality" to the late Lord Mayer of Dublin, and the deputation by which he was accompanied. Her majeity's -answer to the City Address, having been read, wag Ordered to be entered on the minutes of the Court. Several applications from the managers of Railway Companies, respecting the erection of termini in the City of London and the borough of Southwark, were then referred to a Parliamentary Committee. Sir Peter Laurie having previously, of course, attempted to. crack a joke at the expense of the application. Mr. Bedford (late ' chairman of the !Thames Navigation and Port of London Committee) introduced the report of the committee, to whom the reduction . of 'the- Thames Navigation , debt had been referred Showing in what manner the Corporation were enabled to raise a sum of money, at a reduced rate of ieterest, to pay off the money charged on the tolls and duties, payable by virtue of several Acts, to improve the navigation of the river. A summary of the report having been produced, the ,Court expressed . their unanimous approval of its substance; the City Arms were then affixed to the requisite bonds, prepared by the Comptroller. Aeonsiderable time was- afterwords occupied in appointing committees for the year ensuing, and also the presentation of petitions. Among these latter, one of the .most import was from the Metropolitan ' Working Classes' Association on public health, intrusted •to Dr. Lynch, of Farringdon-Without Ward, which was postponed till the next fneeting of the Court.

SHARP PRACTICE.—On the evening of Friday last a commercial traveller went to the Derby Post-office, and having deposited his letters in the box, he was in the act of walking away, when a female threw herself into his arms, and used the most endearing terms. She expressed herself delighted that she hud once again met her " dear John," after so long an absence, and caressed him most passionately. The astonished traveller desired her to g:) away, protested that he knew nothing of her, and at length somewhat rudely released himself from her grasp. He endeavoured to account for this extraordinary conduct by seeing whether anything had been extracted from his pockets; all being right there, he became somewhat perplexed. When in the act of dressing himself on the following morning the extraordinary scene of the previous evening was still vividly impressed upon his mind. He taxed his memory in order, if possible, to recollect whether he had seen the fair one before, when lo! as he was placing his cravat round his neck, he missed a splendid pin with which it had been adorned at the time he went to the post-office. The caresses and endearing words of the frail fair one were all explained, and he is left to enjoy the recollection of the dramatic event as best he may.—Derby Reporter. SUICIDE orilla Cnirn.—An inquiry took place before William Carter, Esq , at the Battle of the Nile, Aluion.street, Rotherhithe, as to the death of Elizabeth Dudley, aged 14, who committed suicide under the following circumstances :—From the testimony of the mother and father of the deceased, who reside in Clarence-place, Clarence-street, Rotherhithe, it appeared that the latter is foreman at an engineer's in Rotherhithe, and that the child was in the habit of taking his breakfast to him. On her return on Saturday morning her mother taxed her with having loitered, the deceased made some reply, when her mother gave her a pat on the head. Some time after the deceased could not 1:0.  round, and one of the sisters searched the house, and at  last found her suspended by a handkerchief to the bedstead. She was taken thwn, but life was quite extinct.  In answer to questions put by the Coroner, it was said that the deceased was of a very cheerful disposition and highly moral conduct.--Verdict " Temporary insanity." An Association of Merchants and Shipowners is  forming in Liverpool, having for its object the reduction of the present exorbitant duties on tea. The intention of its originators is to adopt effectual means of bringing the merits of this question before the public, with a view of showing the evils which result to the community from duties amounting to from one hundred to six hundred per cent. on this great article of consumption, which has now become one of the first neceAsaries of life, and which, viewed commercially, is the only medium of ex. change by which we can hope to extend or even retain our trade with the Chinese empire. _

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUICIDE. (From the Dublin Evening Post of Thursday). Last night, at nine o'clock, James Kirwan, Esq., City Coroner, held an inquest at Abbott's Hottl, Prince'sstreet, on view of the body of Robert Heinekey, Esq., proprietor to the Bilton Hotel, Sackville-street, who came by his death by taking a large dose of laudanum. Isaac Newton, the porter in Abbott's Hotel, stated that deceased came to the house after six o'clock in the morning and engaged a room, and told witness to bring him up hot water ; he asked for a quiet room ; brought up the water, and deceased locked the door, telling witness not to call or disturb him. Mathew Doyle, head-waiter in the hotel, stated that he knocked at the door between three and four o'clock, and heard the deceased snore deeply; the door was locked inside, and witness, with a sergeant of police, and Mr. Thomas, went into the room ; went to the bed, and saw deceased very pale, and his chest was heaving or drawing very heavy ; he was in a dead slumber, not able to speak ; saw three bottles, which had " laudanum poison" marked on them ; there was a letter directed to Mr. Bunn, and also some papers relative to a will got on the table with a watch and 1 ls.; Mr. Abbott came up at once and sent for a doctor. Here the folloving letter directed t,o, Bilton tonßuunontewl,aps Dublin, April 5, 1846. "Dear Friend,—Many, many thanks for all your kindness. Forgive your poor friend--but life has become insupportable, and 'ere you view this his trouble and anxiety will be at an end. Let me be interred at Howth as quietly as possible. Continue your kind friendship to my poor wife. I see no prospect of being anything but a trouble to her, and after a time I hope my loss will be her gain; she is harassed in mind and body. Matters cannot !,;o on as they are, and it is better I should be out of the way as I am only a continued source of anxiety and trouble to all in connexion with me. My unfortunate constitution of mind is the only cause, but this I cannot overcome, and though it must be felt severely at first I shall soon be forgotten; a few short years will, sir even months, must end my miserable life or place me in a lunatic asylum, a still greater burden to my family. Pity and forgive your poor weak-minded friend, and the best and last good wishes of your unfortunate friend are for your happiness and prosperity. " R.

The circumstance becoming known, the pai ty was followed, and the sergeant taken, and on being subs° luently tried by a court martial he was found guilty and cl egradod into the ranks. Years rolled on, and the body g'i :adually became less and less, until nothing was left but the chains which originally shackled it, and these in course of time fell and were secretly conveyed away. For several lux to years the post, with its withered and weather-beaten arm, • was the only vestige left of that deed of blood which six tu-seven years ago filled the minds of the inhabitants of the ail rreunding districts with horror. But time, which levels all terrestial objects with its corroding breath, had for years pa st been gradually gnawing this • once loathed stump to its cox e, and on the 15th of April last, actually accomplished his task,, and it fell to rise no more.—Doncaster Chronicle.

SUICIDE BY WHISKY.--On the morning of Thursa ay, he 24th ult., a zlivt kin g inutancc of 3olf-dcstruction took place in the vicinity of Castledawson. A decent, industrious, and habitually sober man, named Thomas Cook, took it into his head that his wife was unfaithful to him, which idea seems to have occupied his mind for a considerable period. During Wednesday he was from home at Cookstown ; on his return in the evening of that day, some circumstance attracted his attention which revived his previous suspicions. He, in consequence, quarrelled with his unfortunate wife, and beat her most severely. The wretched man appeared speedily to have become deeply sensible of the impropriety of his conduct, and endeavoured to induce his wife to forgive and forget what had happened. To this, however, she did not seem disposed to consent. In a fit of desperation he seized a quantity of whisky which was in the house, and, taking a knife in his hand, vowed that he would stab any person who attempted to prevent him from drinking it, as he was determined to kill himself. The quantity which he swallowed was at least a quart and a half pint. In a short time afterwards he fell on the floor in a state of insensibility ; from which, although he received medical treatment, he never recovered.—Belfast Chronicle.  At the Court of Assizes for the department of the Herault, held at Montpelier, a trial has just taken place of a mother and daughter, the latter of whom was accused of attempting to shoot her lover, and the former with aiding and abetting her in the crime. It appeared by the evidence that the youngest prisoner, Marie Maguey had for some time been courted by a young man named Aristide de Montbazier, by whom she was pregnant. This young man had promised her marriage, and it would seem, that as he refused to fulfil that promise, she had concerted with her mother to destroy him. Upon one occasion the young man and a friend were walking in the streets, when they were followed by the prisoners, who had been watching them, and Marie suddenly drew a pistol from her apron, and fired it at her lover. He received the charge in his arm, which was much injured, and his friend had the sleeve of his coat burnt. Marie ran off immediately, but was pursued and taken in e withvihdeernemeotthhaet the young the part O part of the prisoners, it was given man had himself attempted to assault the youngest prisoner, and the Jury, by their verdict, gave an opinion that she had only acted in her own defence. The mother was also acquitted, but the circumstances of the case were such, that the daughter was condemned to French Paper. p 4 the expenses of the trials__

SUICIDE IN THE SERPENTINE RIVER.—On Tuesday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, Joseph Draper, private in the Bth company 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards, was proceeding along the north bank of the Serpentine-river, when he observed a respectably-dressed female, apparently between twenty-three and twenty-four years of age, sitting on the grass near to the bridge, crying and seeming to be in great distress of mind. Suspecting that it was her intention to make away with herself, he watched her for a considerable time, and at last she got up and walked round on to the bridge ; she then looked anxiously round to see if any person was watching her, and supposing she was unobserved, took off her bonnet and knelt down, seemingly in earnest prayer. At this time the soldier, Draper, ran as quickly as he could towards her, but she perceived him before he could get on to the bridge, and starting up with precipitation stepped on to the top of the curb of the balustrades, and then, waving her hand for him to keep back, she bent herself forwards over the water, and plunged headforemost in. She rose to the surface in a few seconds, but appeared to be quip insensible, and again sank without a struggle. Au alarb was instantly given at the receiving-house of the Royal Hu:mane Society, and Mr. James Bauton, the keeper, directly rowed to the spot with the drags, and after the lapse of about 14 minutes, succeeded in bringinglioptsuial, pthehody. It was immediately taken to St. George's where every endeavour was used to produce resuscitation, but without effect, as the vital spark was quite extinct. Nothing was found about the person of the deceased which tends in any way to lead to the discovery of who she was, and the body now remains to be owned. An inquest will be held on it to day.
