MORTALITY OF CITIES.
III. Editor: | was much struck at the report
given by you in The Tribune Of the mortality in
London aud New York. Here the number OF deaths
per week being to every 1889, while in London
they amount to only for every 1900. This i'm.
mense difference 10 very alarming In my opinion
even if we conclude thar the average weekly NOR
tally OF New-York is only 30o-Or one to every
1866. There must naturally be some reagon for
this immense disproportion. H.
There are three causes which go to produce tho
dsproporton noticed above. lst. The number OF
immierants from one to two hundred thousand an
nually) landed among as, many Of them in debili
tsted state and liable to sicken from exposure and
change Of climate. 3D. The difference in the hab-
its of the Londoners and New. Workers, the former
taking life more easily and comfortably by far than
cur stean-eDgine citizens 81. The variable char
acter Of our climate, as contracted with the moist,
equable atmosphere Of London. This, however, is
Of less importance than the two previous reasons
We do not see that NewYork need be more IN
healthy than London, when the tide Of emigration
shall have ,ackened, and our people have carried
the art of living to greater perfection 1t would be
interesting question to ascertain the relative
proportion Of physicians and inhabitants, In this
| City and London.-Edl
THE NAVY YARD The U. 8. storeship, Licking
ton, Lieut. Commanding Mitchell, is about to sail
with stores, letterbass, and dispatches, for the
Mediterranean squadron. Orders have also been
received to tit for sea the U. s. brig, cambridge
with all possible dispatch. Her destination Is sup
posed to be Brazil. The store ship Relief, from the
Mediterranean, is discharsipg.
NoxsEssE-The Cholera story OF last week
must have been CANNON. No cases have been re-
ported this week thus far, and none have been
heard o. We trust that the efforts now in progress
to keep the City clean will be unremtted; the sto-
ry of some papers that the City never was nthler
is sheer fiction; the streets generally are in good
order and cleaner than could be expected
HE'LL GATE.-We see tha. III. Maillsfert has
been making an examination Of "Pot Hock'" 10
the channel at Helgate. 1t is calculated tna' tne
rock may be removed at an expense Oh aooui

among our merchants for that purpose MIR. Hen
