"Look at me!"-At one of the Urban Club festivals, George Cruikshank and Planché were present. The former, holding up a glass of water in his demonstrative manner, said to the latter, "Look at this-and look at me!" The latter, in his usual quiet manner, said to Cruikshank, "My dear sir, I take a glass of wine at luncheon, another at dinner, and after dinner I take my pint of wine, and sometimes at night my glass of grog. Pray look at me!" Both were octogenarians. Street Casualties.-Deodands were abolished by Act of Parliament in 1846. More stringent regulations for the metropolitan street traffic no doubt are urgent. The law of deodands is thus declared by Bracton-"If a horse, or ox, or other animal, of his own motion kill, as well an infant as an adult, or if a cart run over him, they shall in either case be forfeited as deodands-which is grounded upon this additional reason, that such misfortunes are in part owing to the negligence of the owner, and therefore he is properly punished by such forfeiture." Probably, if every van, cart, or carriage that killed a man in London were forfeited, it would lead to an immediate diminution of the deaths in the street; at least, it would have the effect of making every owner of a conveyance take the utmost care, by appointing a skilful driver, and by other precautions, to prevent casualties. Many accidents no doubt occur, as Lord Fife remarked a few days since in the House of Lords, which, by the exercise of care and precaution, might be prevented; and therefore, as to those heedless of such care, he thought nothing could be done by the central authority to protect them. Although the deodand cannot be revived in its old form, the cause and prevention of fatalities and accidents in the streets might with advantage be inquired into by a Commission. These casualties are an evil of a magnitude deserving such an investigation. COMMUNICATIONS have been received from Dr. HOLLIS, Brighton; THE TREASURER OF ST.

The highest reading was 29.96 in. on Thursday, and the lowest 29-51 in. at the end of the week. The figures for the English and Scottish towns (except for Nottingham, Salford, and Oldham) are the numbers enumerated in April, 1871, raised to the middle of 1880 by the addition of nine years and a quarter's increase, calculated at the rate which prevailed between 1861 and 1871. Revised estimates have been adopted for Nottingham, Salford, and Oldham, based upon special returns of inhabited houses existing within those boroughs; the population of Dublin is taken as stationary at the number enumerated in April, 1871.
