ofseveral persons for most atrocious and diabolica
outrage committed on yonng woman at the Broad
way Cottage most disreputable groggery in Broad
way, nearly opposite the hospital.
The general features of this atrocious deed are
well known-and if the perpetrators can be suffi-
GENTLY identified they deserve the severest punish
ment that the law can warrant. For several years
past, the public manners and morals as exhibited in
our public streets, and particularly in Broadway,
have been disgrace TO the age and shame to New

respectable female to walk in any public street, in
open day, without being insulted by some of those
atrocious scoundrels, backlegs, or rowdies, who
prowl about, many OF them in moustachois and in

geous insolence of many of these rowdies. black
legs, and mousached rascals who frequent the grog
shops, cafes, and hells around our public streets and
promenades-it is full time that an end should be
put TO such horrible public denominations, and we
trust the present chance may be embraced by all the
officers and administrators Of justice.

be delivered sometime to-day, mean to report it
word tor word in our paper of Tomorrow the Sun

and have very important results.
Clinical lectures have also been commenced at
the City Hospital by Drs. Post and Levett. They
are of great interest and value to the profession to
students, and to the public, as they are given in
popular style, and embrace all the interesting and
curious cases In the Hospital.
