Mortality OF the CITY.

New York has always been ranked one of
the healthiest cities in the world, and very
Justly so we think, for it possesses all the
advantages of good climate and good water.
Neither is there any low ground or swamps
near il, which, like those in the neighborhood
of New Orleans, and other cities in the west
and south west, generate miasmatc vapors,
so preiudicial to health and destructive to the
constitution The heat of summer is as intense
here as il is in any part of the world, yet from
the absence of cause, we have not been visited
with any epidemic since the time of the cholera,
nor with the yellow fever, that terrible scourge
of hot Inmates, for period of over twenty years.
In the face of these circumst ances, favorable
saubrity, the per centage of deaths for several
weeks past is greater than that of any other city
in the Union, and much greater than that of
New Orleans, where the pomito has broken out
recently. We have not the statistics at hand,
but we safe in saying that in proportion to
the amount of population, greater number of
deaths has occurred in this proverbially healthy
city for the last four weeks, than in any other
city in the country, many of which are infinitely
less favored than our own. And this, too, in the
absence of any contagion for although the ship
fever prevails in our neighborhood to certain
extent, very few cases have occurred within the
city limits.
The following is table of the deaths in this
city for our weeks past -
For the week ending July s.. ............. .346

regularity, came in yesterday morning, bring

mail. We are under obligations to Capt. Berry
for his attention, and also TO the editors of the
Charleston papers. The journals received con-
tain nothing in political way worth publishing.
A slip from the Office of the Courier, gives the
following facts in relation to a serious railroad
accident which occurred on the 23d:-
Two small engines, the Branchville and Franklin
were coming down from Gadsden with the hands who
were engaged on the Camden Branch These hands are

all the religious ceremonies peculiar to that peo-
Pile, consisting of sacrificing and making offer

PErrIFoeGINe LAWYERS AND WITNEssEs.-We
learn by a Philadelphia paper that among the
matters presented by the Grand Jury, is that OF

which the Grand Jury has presented IN Phlladel-

wards witnesses when ON the stand, as if they
had a perfect right to abuse and bully with i'm
punity. Occasionally one of these fellows
gets ,hrashing, but in most cases they 60

the courts do not interfere oftener than they do
in those matters AS general thing, the judges
look calmly on and see witnesses, whose prctec-
tors they intended to be, vlifed and abused in
a scandaous manner, without taking due notice
of it; but when the latter can no longer submit
to the pettifogger's abuse, and attempt to defend
| themselves, they are very soon called to order
and silenced. No respectable lawyer would act

chaps who, before witnesses are put upon the
stand, enquire about their temperament, and in
case they find it timid and nervous, invariably

ought not to be tolerated, and we believe it would
not be tolerated in any other city, except New
York. 1t may exist to certain extent In
Philadelphia, but it is evil shere that is be-

axiom, that lawyer who insults and abuses

The Stockholders of The James River and ka-
nawha Company held an adjourned meeting on
Tuesday Evening, Dr.. John Brockenbrough in
the Chair. From the Wing we gather few
facts. A supplemental report was read from Pre-
sden, Gwynn, in which he recommends, in the
event of,he rejection Of The bill for The Company's
reliet now before the Legislature, and OF all other
measures for relief, that memorial be presented
10 that body asking simply for an extension offs
charter, (which expires in May next either in
definitely or for term Of years. He also recon-
mends tina, petition be presented 10 The Legisa-
,ure, asking for The Company authority to borrow,
on The credit Of the surplus revenue Of The Dock
the amount required forihe construction OF new
outlet lock, OF enlarged dimensions, rendered in
dispeasabe BY The unsafe condition OF the pre-
SEP, lock, which, he says, may make it necessa'
ry, al no distant period, TO suspend the use Of the
Dock altogether.
President Gwynn thinks that the trade will be
diminished, and The revenue consequently Ie-
duced, il the rates OF toll directed TO he levied
by the Stockholders, al their Annual Meet
ing in November, shall be adhered 10. The con-
siderable reduction OF tolls on The 18Th December,
1874, was followed BY largely increased re-
venue during The year ending The 3Ist October
