Falmouth has been absent from the United States
about nine months during which period she Las been
active cruiser visiting the windward and islands
Of the West Indies also the coast Of Venezuela Daricn,
New Granada, Aspinwa the leeward coast and Gulf OF
Mexico. We informed that her officers and
all well, though they have had some sickness
board in consequence Of having passed through pesen
ta climates during the cruise yellow fever aud cholera
prevailing at many Of the ports visited.
During her absence she lost two officers an four men
two of the Of yellow at Gonaives. hayt two
at Pensacola with cholera and officer qae recently
at sea.
At Pensacola she remained sufficiently long to COM
pete necessary repairs and vctuai the ship; from
thence she sailed for Key w then cruising between
Cardenas (Cuba) and Cape St. Antonio to protect in its
lawful pursuit all American commerce anu trade then
to Havana where her commander met with hospitable
reception from the Captain General and Other officials
From Havana she proceeded again to Key West, where
orders were received for her return to the North The
unusual exemption from sickness may be attributed in
very great degree to the sanitary adopted on
board and the taken Of the men, not having them
exposed the burning Of the tropics any than
absolutely necessary keeping them out Of the heavy
rains, and clean ship.
The ship is apparently in fine order and her officers
and all seem to be happy. She left havana on the
I'd and Key West ON the 4th inst. t5.

Soon after the Falmouth left the latter port Midship
man Cain was attacked with yellow fcycr and died
about twenty four hours previous to her arrival at the
Quarantine anchorage. The body sent yesterday AZ

likely it win remain until the OF Tho first FROST
when, as understand, it is to be exhuned and re-

evidences Of the vessels being infected have yet made
their appearance and is to be sincerely hoped that the

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1855-08-14

The average number of persons to family
in the respective wards may be ascertained by
dividing the population by the families. Thus,
for example, in the Seventeenth ward the
largest in population, numbering 60,952 souls,
according to the returns, there are $40 dwell
ings, and 1886 families-whch averages
some l8 people, and four families to each
house, and about five persons to each family.
In this ward, however, as in some others, there
are dwellings whose occupants may be counted
by fifties and by hundreds, crowded together
as on shipboard. In the Fifteenth, the aristo-
cratic ward, par excellence, the people number
23,776, the houses 2,269, and the families 1855,
being an average Of about three families to
every two houses, and something over an ave-
rage Of six persons to each family.
Why should this be so? How is it that the
poor, when we know that while the laboring
poor are proverbially prolific, the luxurious
wealthy are proverbially deficient in their
contributions to the population Z? Let us
see. In the crowded and unhealthy quarters
occupied by so many of our poor people, their
children, from foul air, bad food, want of pro-
per nOurishment, and from ignorance, neglect,
and other causes, rapidly die of-die off, as
may be seen from our weekly bills Of NOR
tally Of the several wards Still, the average
number Of the poor mans living children,
even under the most unfav orable circumstances,
is perhaps not less than three to one Of the
Wholesale dealer in calicoes or Goldfish on the
Fifth avenue. The deficiency in the rich mans
family is made up of servants. He may have
but wife and an only daughter; but with
half o dozen servants, drawn from the repro
ductive elements Of Old Ireland, his family
will be fully equal to that Of the poor Irish
laborer with his "crown diamonds of seven
small children, and one at the breast This
will explain the average excess in each family
of the Fifteenth, over the average of each in
the Seventeenth ward.
Our census, however, upon the main question
Of the total population Of the several wards
Of the city is as yet good for nothing, until
the omissions specified against the Marshals,
and all others not specified, arc supplied. We
hope that this will be done.
