TEE DEATp RECORD OF THIS CITY.

During the two months ending May H. there was,
in the City of New-York, % deaths from starvation,
l27 deaths from accidents and negligence, y from
drunkenness aud 10 suicides The deaths from accl-
dent and negligence present quite as irghtful re-
cord In the present state OF science, whose special
province it is to foretell just such events, scarcely
single homicide Of this kind ought to occur An ordi-
nary degree of care or even partial adaptation OF
the knowledge we have 10 the daily affairs Of life,
would prevent une-tenths Of the deaths from
accidental causes. What engineer, being aware
of the strength Of bridge, and the weight
of train, cannot tell the exact degree OF
danger to life when the orc passes over the
other There is no excuse for crushing man be-
tween two vehicles in front Of the Asor House. or
running over a child in Thirl-aye. There are COM
paratively few persons reckless to expose them
selves to danger Of manning or death, so that the
great majority Of those who die from accident are slain
outright By Others to whom they have intrused their
lives.
Last, though by no least in the catalogue OF
preyentabe deaths those that caused by con-
tagiouS diseases. Under proper sanitary condition
we do not believe yphus could occur, or if did,
with only the same degree OF frequency that small

deaths took place in the City Of New-York from dis
eases that science ought to be able to prevent.
In the same period the total number of deaths from
all causes $780, showing an annual death rate OF
80 in 900 of the population, basng our estimate on
the census of 1855. The greatest weekly mortality
during the same time was AS, in the week ending
April T. equivalent to an annual mortality of 3i3j6
in 200 inhabitants; while the least 42l, for the
week ending April 81, showing an annual death
rate of 3Ol39 in 1000 In the leading cities
of Great Britain, for the week ending April :, the
death record shows the following annual rate of NOR

these statistics it will be that while New York
compares favoraby with the leading cities of Great
Britain, London, with a population quadruple our
own. has an annual death-rate remarkably smaller,
fact altogether due to its sanitary condition and tho
methods employed to prevent and control disease.
The discrepancy is too great but the means by which
il NAV be remedied are obvious.

instance, we are not informed-probably something
more than its worth as old silver But whatever its
value, the thirty nine gentlemen, headed by Mr.
Peter Harvey have struck bargain, and sent the
vessel to be forever preserved in the Boston Public
Library. If too poor to keep it, the family it seems,
we're not too proud to sell it, and the utens has been
saved from an gnomnious exhibition in an auction
ROOM The transaction is painful enough to provoke
a little cynical reflection. 1t seems as If dollars and
cents were to be forever associated with Mr. Websters
name and memory. Men still talk Of bis prodgious
earnings and his equally prOdigous prodigality-how
he lived beyond his income and always in debt
how nc carried great sums in his waistcOat pocket,
and how he lost them-how he took cash for making
Taylor speeches-how he kept tradesmen out of their
money--how he borrowed of all who would lend
to him, and often forgot to pay-how he received
regular annuity from several Of his friends &C.. &c.
His great abilities carried him through all this under
which lesser men would have sunk but when he
died. he left none who had like claim upon friendly
generosity, although in position greatly needing it.
But it hardest of all to have these mercenary remn-
scences associated with lofty name. The public
has its own idea of clean palms and of disnterestcl
public service The younger Pitt did nothing which
gland than his refusal to receive money from the City
of London. He, too, was extremely poor and dread
fully in debit but the proposal to relieve him aPub
lie subscription met at once with "ided and In
flexible disapprobation.
What private man owes or does not owes whether
he lives within or beyond his income; whether be be
economical or extrayagant is merely his business
or that of his creditors. But Mr. Websters affairs
made public affairs bis wants relieved by public
subscriptions; his pecuniay eccentrcities were the
theme of public anecdote; everybody who knew him
knew that he wasted much money and often wanted
it. The silver vase which is to be preserved in tho
Boston Library, will inevitably perpetuate these scan
das This should have been sufficient reason for
consgning it to some less public custody, with some
what smaller violation Of the laws of good taste and
of gentemanly feeling But its position having been
settled it must be admitted that the toy will not be
without its essons-essonS which it is unnecessaryor
US to more than suggest.

DR.. Bluntschli, Professor Of the Law of Nations in
the University of Heidelberg, has just published an
interesting work in the form of Code the Modern
Law of War in Civilized States, an early copy of
which we received by the last steamer. From the
preface we learn that our Instructions for the Gov
eminent of Armies Of the United States in the Field
prepared By DR.. Francis Lieber revised by Board of
Officers Of which Major-Gen. +. 4. Hitchcock was
President approved by the President, published by the
War Department as General Order No. 100, April ~,
-G3-the first authoritative code of the law of war
on land-suggested TO the distinguished Euro
pean iurist the idea of codifying in a similar
form the whole Law of Nations. The i'm.
pending war in Germany, however, induced
DIR. Bluntschli TO issue the Modern Law of War
separately His work includes translation of nearly
the whole Of the American General Order No. 100;
adds as was necessary in comprehensive code certain
paragraphs on war in generals embodies the recent in
ternational agreements of many European govern
ments concerning The wounded and The neutrality"
of surgeons hospitals and chapans first laid down
by the Geneva international Convention for the relief
of wounded soldier in the field, and, finally gives
code on the law Of war at sea. The whole work con
ssts of 3l7 paragraphs, of which l3l occupied

Duties Of Neutrals BlOckades, the Right OF Visit,

FREEDMAN,s BUREAU AGAIN.

A bill has been introduced into the House contin-
ung the Freedman's Bureau for two years. The bill
protects the Iowa! freedmen and refugees, and directs
the appointment Of two observation-disclosures IN
addition TO those now authorized, who shall have
charge of certain districts. These commissioners and
their subordinates shall be under military jurisdic-
ton and military protection. No person shall be
deemed destitute or deserving of assistance Who has
capacity and opportunity for work. For the purpose
of making the Bureau sclfsustaning, the President
is directed to reserve from sale settlement under
the Homestead and Presumption laws and assign to
freedmen and refugees not exceeding million acres
of land in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana Alabama
and Arkansas to be allotted in parcels of forty acres
each, at a certain rental The rental will 90 toward
the support of the Bureau. When the price of each
allotment of land is paid to the Government, fee
simple title will be given to the owner
This bill seems meet the want of the South.
Two years will enable us TO decide practically
upon the condition of the South Two years more of
military occupation will, We trust. strengthen the
Union power beyond any successful opposition, and
we may hope by tina, time TO have our loyal element
predominant and the sensible Southerners thoroughly
weaned from the tendencies of rebellion and secession.
The reservation of undeyeoped lands is wise meas
urc. Give the freedman and the refugee home, and
they will become useful intelligent and conscientious
citizens.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will pass this bill.
We scarcely think the President will veto measure
so just and at the same time so conservative.
