This has proved itself to be one Of the coolest
days of the season. The wind has blown fresh
through the day from the northwest The Their
mometer was down to or 10 this morning, and
has remained low all day.
The splendid packet-shiP Garrick, Captain Trask,
sailed to day for Liverpool with full freight and a
number Of passengers. The Garrick belongs to
the celebrated line of packet-ships owned by Messrs
E. X. Collins & Co., which, for superiority of
workmanship, sailing qualities, and management,
stand unsurpassed. One of the firm wishing to re-
tire, several of the fine vessels are offered for
sale. good opportunity is presented to parties
for investing in vessels which rank so deservedly
high as the Roscius, Garrick, Siddons, &c.
Messrs. Livingston & Wells deserve great credit
for their perseverance, and enterprise in erretng ou,
and capturing the scoundres who robbed their ex.
press last autumn. Harrington, one Of the gang
whom, with the aid Of Mr.. A. G. Smith, of the
New York police, and Mr.. Pomeroy, they lately
succeeded in arresting in Indiana, left the city in
their custody yesterday for Rochester.
The deaths in this city for the year ls45 amount
ed in round numbers, to 10, 900; Of these, ] 600
died with consumption, or 10 per cent. of the
whole number. This was great mortality from a
single disease. From some experience and obser-
walton, have no hesitation in believing that nearly
half Of all cases of consumption are produced
| by unnecessary exposure or by breathing the i'm
pure air of badly or imperfecty ventilated and
| crowded public buildings, or by sleeping In over.
heated or overcold apartments, also badly ventla-
ted There is scarcely church, and not one thea
tire, in this city, which recoect having enter
ed, when much thronged, that appeared to be prop
erly venated-that is, constructed TO let in a
full supply of fresh air when closed, without making
some ono or more suddenly or uncomfortably cold,
and at the same time to admit of the free exit Of the
air as fast rendered impure by respiration. In.
stead of church or theatre having small air-hole
top in the centre of the roof air valves Stats should
extend the whole length Of the roof and should be
open and shut at will by pulleys and strings, attend
ed by persons for whose guidance thermometers
should be hung up for inspection, as is done in the
| House Of Commons. Basins of lime water would
also exhibit indications of the too free existence OF
carbonc acid for health. Architects in cities have
deal to answer for in the loss or sacrihce OF hu.
man life in large cities by erecting il-ventllated
houses o. the other half who died IN New YORK
| from consumption, one-fourth probably fell vic
Tins to hereditary faint, prematurely developed;
| and the remainder probably contracted the disease
| by intemperance and undue exposure, combined
in many instances with anxiety and restitution.
| OF the whole NUMBER (of 10000 dcaths,) 1, 300
| were from Ireland, or about 10 per cent; which
| population are from Ireland; or if the natve-born
of Irish familiesb estimated, il is likely fully
third of the whole city would be found to be OF
| Irish descent or parentage Only about two hun
| bred deaths occurred among natives Of England,
and only fifteen from Wales. The other foreign
ers deceased from various parts of the CONT
nent, principally from Germany.
