visit them With the punishment whioh tho vasrsns
The frightfuI dsuorslirstion which has bee. usd.
manifest If has not been occssionsl by the sdvea
OF the American steamers, has had at least one
peIsncisi enect, that Of bringing into operation
v;on., aSO'e az Of the Legislature which had pro
,ne notorious vagranoy with which Kingston hse
BEEN sted for the last ten yeers AZ es.t OF ar,
epressop !ne law expressly enacted for ts
tl people began to consider that thera was No La
whatever for the punishment Of va ,rannv TI.
which I.ve SSssysa sssnn, public aecese
steamers, have brought into notice the navars n
the vagrart law, aud these powers have i,fo,v 49,
put In force to an extent which it is to shsrs1
may have the effect of lessening, if il does so, -
togeaer aoate, the very serious nuisance Of which
many of our most respectable inha sitants have hs1
cause so long and so seriously to complain
We are inclined to believe that 10 no town sf
corresponding population within the British d.
minions is there such an exteu. Cf deprayity IS h
to be found in Kingston, and this depravity has
been frightfully augmented since the gold Of Cali
fornia has become an indu :ement 70 immorality
IL is not only sgustng, but painful to wtness the
undisguised license with which vice Of the worst or-
der piled its trade in our public thorough
fares the arrival of these steamers Nor are the
offenders in the first instaoce always females. Thess
latter are frequently represented by boys-generaly
black. and many them under ten years Of agc-whs
kept in the pay OF dssolute persons, and
plOyed TO corduct such passengers by the steamers,
as are accessible to such influences, to hsunts II
the most degraded vi,e and debauchery. Thi.
perhaps, Is in some measure TIE case In q u popu-
lous towns, but in do tho eleme Of Woe exist
to the extent that they do In Kingston. Az that
can be done must be effected BY the vsgrsnt Law.
and we eannet too strongly impress upon both the
constable and the magistrate, the necessity Of
bringing this engine to bear in It's utmost foroe
whenever a case Of vagrancy, within the meaning
Of the act and especially in connsoton with the a..
rival OF tne American steamers, preseatJ itself.
