YEARLY RECORD OF DEATHS.

1851.

According 70 cur annual custom, We submit to the
pubic series OF Statistical tables exhibtna the aggs-
gate amount Of deaths which occurred from various pre-
vaipg diseases in the city and county Of New York

The American mail steamship Crescent City,
Henry X. Davenport, U. s. Navy, commander, acon
New Orleans, via Havana, arrived a. Quarantine
about three clock this morning
She left Havana on the evening of the 10th inst,
and has experienced a succession Of heavy northern
gales.
As previously reported, the @. G. arrived off Moro
Castle on the evening of the 18th but had to remain
outade till next morning.
The Spanish steam frigate Isabel seguudo, which
was cruising on Havana, spoke the @. c., and after
leaIping her name and destinations passed on
Upon entering the hsybor, to which no objection
was made, the Port Captain came alongside and
DSoImcd Capt Davenport that the mails and all the
passengers could laud-bGt that Pueser Smith must
remain on board.
Upon Capt Davenport expressing himself pleased
at the termination of the difficulties heretofore
istpg the Captain of the Port assured him that it
was onlv for this fyip; but should Mr. Smith return
in the ship from New York, no communication with
the shore would be allowed Captain d. expressed
his regret at this, and renarked that the diff ,ulty
was becoming more complicated by this measure;
and that, although the right to exclude any iu1i-
vidual from the island whom the authorities might
consider pyejudcial to its tranquility was not de-
MED he could not conceae the to the Captain
General to prohibit the mails and all passengers,
simply because one person on board was obnoxious
to his Excellency.
There were three iglish wa steamers in Hava-
m, ard the report was that they were waiting to

TO this no reply was made, Capt Davenport was
told when he left Havana for New Orleans, on the
outward trip. that the ship would not be permitted
to enter the port her return if Mr. Smith in
her, but it seems the Captain General was induced
to change bis mind few days previous to her arri
val, in consideration that her voyage would not be
completed until her return to New York, and that
char &c could take place in the officers before that
time. On the eve of sailing, Capt. Davenport re-
ceived note from Mcssrs. Drake S Co, enclosing
copy oiE one to them from Martin Galisno the
Political Secretary of the Captain General. The
letter, together with one from Capt. Davenport to
Messrs Drake s Co., will DO published in our
evening edition.

worthy of the high trust rerosed in him, called on
