A f,hanfer of YiIIainY.

An article appeared in the National Police Ga 1 zettee published in New York, few days since, which ought to find its way into other channels of information. The following is very brief synopsis:
 IL seems that. on the 23d ult., European packet ship arrived at New York. Amoug the passengers were two Irish orphan girls, who were sisters They were we'll educated, and were without protector guardian, save the captain. After finding them selves ut d boarding house in New York. they were visited by the captain, in a carriage, accompanied by his ships physician, and asked the eldest sister 10 take ride with him. She hravely told him that it would be an improper act--alluding 10 the short acquaintanceshp, aud of being in d strange land. Upon this the captain threw himself upon his stand ing and dignity, and the doctor acted spokesman. This had the effect of moving the sympathes of the younger, and 1t is probable, inexperienced sister, and consequently, after dropping charitable mark in favor of the captain, the invitation to tke ride was exlended 10 herself, which she accepted.
 The captain soon found it expedient 10 'sgive up the ship into the charge of the doctor but retained the company of the female. He cniiced her into a house where he was acquainted, and, with a lamp handed to him by the female who let him into the house, he directed to attic chamber Ihither he conducted the female, who at believed that she ensnared This room had dormer window, which looked out upon Broadway. On the oppo- site side of the street. in upstairs apartment,
 lived man who was acquainted with the captain. At this mement he was yiDg down; and the peculiar
 
 that brought the light into the room. When he saw The captain and the fenale he watched the ,ransac- tioHs until another person came into his room, to whom he related what had transpired. Leaving the person to watch in his place. he hastened to alarm the police. During the time of his watching there was desperate struggle, in which the female eeeded in breaking loose from the grasp of the captain, and then mounted out on the window and ran along the spout to the edge of the roof The captain appeared at the window, and when he made a move 10 climb out after her, she bounded up the edge of the roof to the peak with the agility of kangaroo with the layers of slate cracking beneath her feet, and seated herself the peak. The cap tain climbed out on the roof, and, seeing her position, he went back and made his appearance at the irap-door, of which the female was within few feet, without knowing it. When the captain presented himself through the trap, she did not see him in time to avoid his grasp. She broke loose, with the loss of q portion of her sleeve, and slid down the roof, trusting only to the slight protection afforded by the spout, She caught tl1e peak of the dormer window in her descent, and seated herself upon it, declaring that she would never pass through that house again, A ladder soon procured by the police, and when by this means brought her from her resting place to the front of the dorner window, another policeman inside forced her thro' the window, and carried her down through tine house nte the street.

They packed their trunks aud took the line for Philadelphia with the before 1 mentioned physician their protector On at- irving at Bloodgoods botel they stated to the per- belonging to the establishment that they would leave their trunks there and go and their board- ing house first, when, fl they liked it, they would send for their baggage The doctor objected to this arrangement, but they were bent doing. not withstandiDg
 When they arrived at their destination they were conducted into room, adJointng an entry, from which they could see through the open doors into other rooms. The appearance Of the inmates satis- fled them relative to the character of the house, aud they therefore left the premises for the hotel again. and left by the next line for New York, without [ the doctors protection.
