The New YORK HERALD IN EUKoPR.-It APP
pears by the English and French journals, re-
ceived recently by the steamers, that the finan-
cial articles of the Nesc York Herald, in the
month of November last, and throughout last
fall, have been republished to greater extent in
the London and Partisan journals, than on any
former period. Some of those articles-both
editorial and the money market articles-have
been republished in all the leading papers, the
Times, the Herald, Standard, and Chronicle, and
all of them made the topics of leading articles,
principally in the 7Smes. 1t seems that Ameri-
can journals, particularly the Herald, are begin
ming to create some noise and attention in Eu-
rope, and that our leading articles are read with
a great deal of interest and attention.

Degrading STRANeERs.-On reference to our
police report of Thursday, we notice the arrest
of man charged with obtaining fraudently SIS
from young cOuntryman, a stranger in this
city, under pretence of procuring him good
situation.
1t is really shameful and disgracetul to the
city, that Offices and intelligence places should
be allowed to exist, to daily defraud the unsus-
pecting countryman out of the very last dollar
he may possess.
The Court of Sessions, few days since, sent
a swindler of this sort for term of sixty days
confinement in the penitentiary; and when some
two or three more Of these individuals are con-
victed, we hope that the remainder will take
warning and quit their practices, and thus rid
the city of what is at present stigma on the
public authorities
