The Ship News, which we publish every day
under our Marine head. for the last few weeks has
been watched and read with more than usual inter-
est. The heavy gales at sea, and the disastrous
wrecks on our own and on foreign coasts have ere.
ated the greatest anxiety. not only with our mer-
chants and sea-faring men but with all who Fave
friends at sea. 1t will be seen that quite fleet of
vessels entered our hsrbor yesterday, and among
other items that the celebrated little clipper boat

Wednesday, but was arrested on a punctilio and
sent back to a Committee to report complete
Messrs BoYcE of this City and BAILY of Putnam
were the chief instgators Of this course. Mr. Boyce
complained that the bill had been reported from
Committee to which he belonged without consulting
him, and MIR. Baily wanted the Fines struck out
alternative penalties in the bill, 10 mako these
Grimes punishable by Imprisonment excusively.-
Mr.. Baily, though of late protesting desire see
proper bill passed on this subject, is yet exceed
ingy hard to please in the Details and VIC have no
hope that any bill can be framed as to secure his
hearty support Ifthis bill can only be brought TO
to the Yeas and Nays, we shall find very few names
recorded against It, and yet we do greatly fear that
it win again be defeated by Legislative jugglery.
The City ofNew- York is grievousy blameworthy
OF grossly msrepresented all questions involving
Moral Reform. Here is the New Excise Law, op.
eraiive in every other County of the State, yet
allowed to take effect in ours because we send q
Delegation to the Legislature adverse 10 il ne
thousands of petitions from our City in favor of ts
inclusion have been uniformly referred to the City
Delegation, who stiAe them without word. Ifany
body ventures to demonstrate, our Members say,
"Sir, zoe represent the City Of New York, and
derstand its sentiments and wishes We take the
responsibility of denying the prayer of the petitions
you speak Of and must stand or fall upon that re
sponsibility Thus the Country Members, who
rarely consider that this Delegation was elected by
decided minority of the votes Of our City-4,ooo
less than were cast against them-are induced to
say, The City Members are the proper judges in
In this matter. Let the law stand until the City
'shall send here Delegation in favor of altering
It So it tciR stand-we hope for one little year
only.
The country is electrified every few days with
some new and thrilling narrative of Murder-often of
most savage and horrible Murder. One or both of
two causes-intoNication and Libertinism-is al.
most invariably ut the bottom of such Murder. All
abhor and loathe the Murderer great many think
Society could not be preserved withou, hanging
him. Yet how few comparatively, are earnestly
and faithfully intent on roofing out the melting
causes of Murder! Groggeries and every form Of
temptation to Intemperance swarm in every city and
village; the palaces and the novels Of Lewdncss
stand notorious and unabashed in every city, and
thousands Of our Youth, unwerned, unrebuked by
Law, are daily taking the fret steps in the path
which leads down to un,imely and ignomnious
Death. Ii 1t not monstrous that such feroc,y To-
ward the Murderer should coexist with such indE
ference to- if no, approval of all the influences which
for,aOd and trained bin to hutchery? All agree
thai Murder must be repressed and the Murderer
punished why can we no, all heartily agree that
the necessary steps shall be taken to prevent the
training of our Youth for the Gallows? How much
nobler and better TO prevent Crime than TO punish
Isl Why DOT, then, join hands in roofing out from
among Us the groggeries and bro,hels which polute
the land, and depressing Libertinism by adequate
though not vindictve penalties IL the virtuous
would but DO energetic in this work, the question of
Banging or No Hanging would soon lose its prac-
hcsl importance. Why not try III
