In presenting to readers the City Inspectors
report OF deaths for the past week, we are sorry
| that we cannot announce q diminution in the rate
| of mortality. In fact, the table exhibits the
| scrious-if not alarming-increase of one hundred
and thirty-four during the week ended on Saturday
last In contrasting the relative diseases, we find
that the largest increase exists under the head Of
cholera infantum-the deaths being during the last
week eighty.two, and in the previous only thirty
| one. OF the entire number of four hundred and
forty-six, three hundred and forty were children
under ten years Of age, ratio which may in
| some measure be accounted for, when we re-
| collect the crowded state of the apartments, and
the neglect Of ventilation in the majority of our
| streets and slley-ways. There were five deaths
from 'cholera morbus, and fftyseven from diseas-
es of the lungs, viz, thirty -nine ON consumption
and eighteen from actual Inflammation. Diarrhna
and dysentery have also Increased, the deaths from
the latter in the past week being twenty seven and
| III that preceding only thirteen. We would again
advise united and vigorous exertion for civic sani-
taIy reform, and that al foolish cavil about the
| appointment Of health wardens cease The city is
now in very dirty state in many parts, and it is
well known that the paralysis consequent upon the
appearance of epidemic prevents all active exer-
ton by individuals whilst the hurried cleansing of
sewers in weather sets free so much foeid gas
| that II only tends to nggruvnte the disease.

mendirg the consideration Of the matter and the
