correspondent remarls-It is subject
deserving the most severe reprehersiop, that
many parents suffer their children to be
from home in the evening, when they should
be within the leading strings of those who
gave them birth; but 1t appears, that at the
present time many parents think differently,
for the streets and other public places are in
tested with throngs of boys, who conduct
themselves in a way which is disgraceful to
the metropolis az well as to their connexions.
1t were to be wished that those parents who
are mindful Of their own reputation and the
well being Of their posterity, would be more
crcumspect in indulsing their children in
nocturnal excursions. The inmates of the
House for the reception of juvenile offenders,
and the records of the Police Court, afford
sufficient proof of the necessity lor parents to
look with eagle eyes after the conduct of
children placed under their charge, lest they
become disgrace TO their guardians, and a
nuisance to the city. Many, if not all, Of the
false alarms of fire originate with these mis-
chievous urchins.-Bosioa COM Gag.
Our negotiations with Great Britain We
are induced to believe, upon good authority,
by no means make that rapid progress, which
had been anticipated by the public from the
intimations which have been thrown out in
conversation and in the public psints. What
the intelligence and ability of the late Admin
lstration failed to effect, could not reasonably
be expected to be accomplished merely be-
cause the Administration Of Government had
changed hands We learn, accordingly, that
though MIR. .HLcae is very respectfully re-
ceIved at the Court of London, and Lord
.fberdecnt'Stess with great civility to what he
has to say, there is very little probability Of
these two distin gushed gentlemen coming ia
good understanding. Lord .25erdecs will
doubtles be Commanded by He MeJrsty to
assure Mr.. .M.Lmse that the best possible
feelings are entertained towards the United
States" and SO forth, and 80 foith-but no
further forth, or we are mistaken In fact,
according to the latest accounts, as FAR as we
arcinforreed, MFR. NJ Lime had made no pro-
grcss towards any arrangement concerning
the Colonial Trade, upon which the British
Government is as little disposed TO yield to
his just representations, as it had been previ-
