We again have the satisfaction of recording a
remarkably small number of deaths for the week
only 24l the past four weeks showingrespectively
237, 24O, 255, 24ltota 973 against 1899 in ls49,
and ,267 in ls4S. Deduct for Cholera in ls49, IS
deaths, and we have decrease this year of 374,
despite considerable increase Of population and
a wonderful influx of emigrants. This speaks well
for the conduct of our City Authorities but other
causes and influences must be at the root Of this
surprising saving of life. Let those who will ex-
plain them. More than quarter of all the NOR
tally last week was from three diseases, Consump-
ton, Commissions and Group Half of all the deaths
were from eight dseases-the above three, and
Apoplexy Dropsy in the Head, Inflammation of
the Lungs, Typhus fever and Inflammation of Bow
els. OF the total - should be deducted for casu-
alties, &c. reducing the deaths by disease to l3s
In regard to the temperature, it has been very COOL

The drencDias rain OF saturdaE- and Sunday
passed of in thunder storm, and left the air as
pure as could be desired. New-York may well
boast Of being more healthy than any other place
of its size in the world

Saturday, the name of ]. B. Bradbury was mad.
yertantly printed in place Of |. B. Woodbury..
~ There was a meeting Of the Elders of the
Society Of Friends on Saturday afternoon where
upon drizzling rain came on, which, through the
whole of yesterday, blew quite a gale, deluging
our already drenched City. This morning the
" first second day after the fourth first day, the
Yearly Meeting commences and without doubt the
rain will continue. We hope, however, that there
will finally be some "et up" to this long spell of
moisture.
n We hear il reported that warrant of ar
rest was issued on Saturday by order of the Dis
trict Attorney, against NJ. Miguel T. Tolon, secre
tary OF the Cuban Junta, on a charge of having
aided in setting foot hostile expedition against
Cuba.
THE FIRE FRIDAY NIGHr.-Soon after We leftthe
Front st. fire. Friday night the side wall OF the store

buildings, OF little value, and causing a great ex-
citemens BY reports of persons killed, &c. One

Eating House, was pulled from the ruins and taken
immediately to the staton-house of the First
Ward, where it was found that he was badly hurt,
one leg broken and his body much bruised.

The losses by that fire cannot be exactly ascer.
aimed. Mr.. Perry thinks that he is fully insured,
although he had let several policies run out lately.
He has $500 in the new Merchants Company,
