show mortality fifty per cent. higher than

and from which a ship having yellow-fever
cases on board had just been towed away.
The Times adds the following, which shows
that New Orleans is abandoning the policy
that has excited 30 nnch disapprobation
ave have pursued policy OF perfect frank
ness in regard TO the fever in this city, and
the State and National Boards OF Health
