The report of the City Inspector for 1855 represents the number of death: from fever of all kinds during that year at 783, while the deaths from fever in 1856 numbered 2,020, As the mortality fromthe | December. didleront desoriptior =“ of fever seldom exceeds 1,000 in any year, {i be fair to presume that over 1,000 persons ied of yellow fever in New York during the prevalence of that disease last summer, Judging from the tables which we publish to-day, the general boalth of New York ts constantly improving, whotber we regard the number of deaths irom old age, or the diminution in the aggrecate mortality compared with former years. For this we are indebted to the Introduction of the Cro- ton water and ovr system of sewerage, but tuore is much to be done in the removal of nuisances and towards tho gencral cleanline=s of the city before it chal! be as healthy as it ahould be from {ts location. Tne City Inepector’s Roport speaking of the various causes of mortality, says:.— Itts true that « large number of deaths are attributed to causes bearing names rendering the direct cause somo- what questionable, but even those of unsclentiic charac- ter, as atrophy, debility, or marasmus, show a constant relation every year, proving something dofiaite is meant, and enabling us to classify them for most scientitic pur- poses. The winter months, January, Fobruary, March, ‘and December hoid the secon’ piace as regards fatality, owing to the extremes between in-door and out-door temperature and moisture, togethor with the loss o! exer. cise and freah atr, which always conduces to mai inva. ids, The whole number of deaths in 1847 was 15,753, - apd 7,168 adults, Gn adolt persons only 1,1 ber of deaths being 15,753, egatnst 7,250 erent the excess of cuildren over aduls fry Teel It ‘tw intoreeting to inquire as to the causes of this great increase of the proportionate number of deaths of children over adult persons.
