Results of the Registrar-General's return of mortality in the Metropolis for the week ending on Saturday last-

"In the week ending last Saturday0 the deaths registered in the Metropolitan: districts were 893; a number which shows an excess of 56 on the return of Mae previous week, but a. reduction of 269 on the corrected average of five autumn. If the present return be compared with that triads in the same week of each of the }mars 1840-8, it will be found that with but one exception (in 1841, when the deaths were 841) the mortality ranged formerly from 910 to 1,165, and therefore was considerably higher than in hum week, though the population in. those years was less. The increase of 56 now observed on the week ending No- vember 3d partly arises from pneumonia and broieehitis; the deaths from which become more numerous as the winter advances, having been 104 in the preview week, 127 in the lest. The total number of deaths from cholera in the week was only 6 (five less than in the preview; week); in the same week of 1848 there were 62. The steady decline of diarrlicea and dysentery is shown by the numbers,of the last five weeks, which were respectively 105, 63, 51, 40, awl 29.

"The mean daily reading of the barometer was above 30 inches on the last three days of the week. The mean of the week was 29.732. The temperature on the last three days was considerably higher than the average of the same days in seven years. The mean of the week was 50 2 degrees, which is higher than the average by 41." The mean direction of the wind tor the week WAS South-west.
