DAMONB7ZATIONS.

We learn by the Persia that the demonstrations of
the " unemployed " at New York had sasumed a serious
aspect and occasioned mach uneasiness. The " rowdy "
element was particularly distinguishable. OWe walked
among the crowd in the Park on Saturday," mays the Now
York Titan:

" And not one roan in ten of them all seemed to be either
hiutEgor mrticulary hard up. Very many of them were
, the wan carrying the hunger' banner
sii:vied to in a very comfortable condition; the leaden
and speakers bad on nice black costa, their hands were soft
and white, and the only work they mead at all inclined
to do wee that of inducing the crowd to hurrah for Mr.
Wood, sad vote for the candidate of the democratic party.
The whole mooniest is a very shallow pied of political
hambaggety. Unwed was dry and it is rapidly
growing very contemptible. If thine am any mm at them
meetings actually oat of work, we advise them to insist that
Dlaenire. Bowie*, said the other captains of their oompeny,
divide with them the Mime and the pay they receive for
their disinterested and patriotic labours.'
The government, however, had taken steps to check any
estbrak, by pig military at the Custom-boom, Bub-
Tresenry, sod ether important point. in New York. One
of the principel speakers, at the largest meeting held, was a
Swiss woman, rented Rank, who talked at some length, and
said she had cones to otter boo serrices, "like Miss Night-
ingale going to the Crimea." She enunciated the idea that
the mob ought to make "fried* of the editors," and min-
walled the avoidance of riot. The mob had divided into two
perties—a split having occurred, owing to the violent opi-
nions of some of the leaders. On one ommion, when the
appeerance of the mob was rather threatening, the Mayor
mustered what force be could, and a Brooklyn fire-engine
took up a prominent position, prepared the hose, and caused
the dispersion of the crowd. A deputation which waited on
the Mayor was promised employment on some public works.
The Board of Common Councilmen, in a report on the state
of distress among the labouring clawed ascribed ranch of it
to the large immigration of persons who remained in the
city, instead of moving to the interior. The Board of Alder-
men, in their report, condemned a proposition of the Mayor,
to issue stock and purchase large quantities of food with the
proceeds, to be sold at cost price to labourers on public
works. Not content with reporting upon the immediate
nadir at lone, the beard want into the question of the pre-
sent crisis es foliows:

" Yaw committse moot permit the peered opportunity
