LADIES OF New YoRK LOOK WELL To THIS THING
On Friday night the Park theatre contained So of the
NEST profsate and abandoned women that ever dis
graced humanity; they entered al the door, and
for time mixed ndlscrmnatey with sixty three vr-
tuous and respectable ladies. Drunkenness and de.
bauchery of the worst kind prevailed throughout the
evening, despite the extraordinary rigiidnce of the
officers. Poison filthy poison under the name of wine
brandy, &c, was served cut plentifuy to men and
women; the latter disp aging their limbs TO great ad-
vantage. Mr. Simpson was IN the house, and for
aught we know, saw all this and sad nething. One
drunken rascal, well dressed, who reeling about
with the abandoned women, shouted SIRE" The
house was crammed. Oh! God what an awful mo-
ment was that! The hearts Of the stoutest were
struck with a paralysis. Then the wretched
creatures rushed from the third tier; many rushed
from the second tier, and had the panic become gene
rail- many lives would have been lost. Men of New
York. take not your wives and daughters to the Park
theatre, until Mr. Simpson pays some respect 10 them
by constructing separate entrance for the abandon
cd Of the sex.
