CRIME IN AMERICA ACCOUNTED FOR..
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.
Sir,—lt is the misfortune of some people, that they
invariably form their judgment of the characteristics
of other people by police reports and Arrowsmith
atrocities. Perhaps a useful caution or lesson may
be furnished to such persons, by presenting to their
very charitable view an occasional statistic, which,
at the same time, may assist them in extracting that
"beam in their own eye," and thereby improve their
-visional organs. The following figures are from
the annual report, of the police department, of the
city of New York.
Total of arrests for the year ending February 1,
1359,
Of these were—

From the foregoing. it appears that about 18 per
cent were Americans, and about 63 per cent. sub-
jects of " Her Most Gracious Majesty." Further
comment is needless.—Your most obedient,

.The steady quotation.s .of last evening from the Paris
Bourse caused the English Funds to open with firmness
to-day ; and owing .to •the announcemezit that Lord
Cowley has been entrusted with counter propositions,
which are thought likely to be favourably entertained,
the market subsequently slimed increased sirength. By
some persons it is believed that the propositions in question
will include 2, reduction_ of the existing armaments in
France and Austria, without whieh any arrangements
would be almost valueless;.—.lines City Article, Friday

In the absence of alarming rumours, a rise of nearly
per cent. was temporarily attained, under the force of the
investments lately made. As soon as it transpired that the
French Funds opened at a decline, less buoyancy was shown,
but the latter quotations were still about a per cent. above
those of yesterday. In the other markets, that for British
Railway ,Stock was the firmest in character, owing to the
e6nfidence inspired by the general increase in the traffic. At
Paris. to-day, the Three per Cent. Rentes show a fall of
to per cent. At Vienna and Frankfort, yesterday, a fall
of to 1 per cent, took place in the Austrian Funds. In
the Discount Market, the supply of money is less liberal
than of late, and 21 per cent. may be considered the rate
for the best bills. There were no bullion operations at the
Bank to-day, The steamer Pera will take for Bombay on
Saturday Vk84,925 in silver, all on private account, the
