Thus it appears that Philadelphia. with
population considerably exceeding that of New
York, has had fewer deaths than the latter
city. II should be also borne in mind that
during the whole OF that time there has been
an unusual mortality among the negroes of
PhIladelplia, in consequence OF disorder rx-
c!usveiy coDiiued to ;he blacks, which has
increased the number of deaths far beyond
what they otherwise wonld have been.
