INCREASE OF CRIME IN New Y oRK.-On reviewing
the criminal history of this city for year or two
past, we are astonisbed at the increase of crime
and murder that has taken place within that period
Notwithstanding that five six executions have
taken place within a comparatively short time,
murder still stalks abroad. The knife Of the as
ssssin is unsheathed, and plunged into the vitas Of
his fellow man, to crafty premeditated revenge to
wipe out an imaginary offence, or for the purpose
Of gain. Four men are now under sentence of death
in this city, and several here and in cur neighbor
hood are awaiting trial for that awful crime.
Rowdysm-the precursor Of crime and murder-is
still rampant among US, and to add to the horrible
state Of affairs arson is Of frequent occurrence in
this and other parts of the State. There is no
crime of such frequent occurrence among arson,
none 60 difficult of being proved and none for which
there has been less punishment. 1t is to be hoped
that the execution of Concklin, at Utica on Friday
last, will have the effect Of lesseapg this species Of
crime.
II is hard to say what is thecause ofths laments-
BILE increase Of crime; bat we think portion Of it
may be attributed to the rowdyism which prevails
in all cities, large and SMALL and to the want Of
proper police regulations. Young rowdies become
adopts in crime, before their career is stopped.
They generally escape punishment for minor Of.
fences; and the result s,trusting to continued mpu
nifty, they progressin their mischief until they shed
blood, and end their days o. the gallows. We
have plenty Of churches, but they not attended
In many temples Of worship, the pastors preach to
beggarly account of empty benches. The inau-
ences Of Christianity are dwindling away. How i,
this to be accounted fort The religion Of the pre-
sent day does not reach the heart. Why We
shall see what effect the new system of street
preaching will have in preventing crime.

MUSICAL ARTISTS, AND The PUBLIC PULss.-
Miss Catherine Hayes went to Albany yesterday
for the purpose Of giving some concerts, after which
she will proceed to the western part of this State.
We understand that Mr.. Wardwen is to manage
her affairs, and that Mr.. Braham and Herr Mengm
accompany her. In her recent difficulties with her
contractors, we generally sided with Miss Hayes;
but we are sorry to say she has taken course
which no person acquainted with the tone of pubic
opinion here, would have seriously advised her 10
follow. She ought to have given three or four con-
certs in this city Immediately after getting rid OF
those who were an incubus on her; and, under the
popular feeling displayed in her favor, there is no
doubt she would have received, in the aggregate,
some six or eight thousand dollars. Her advisers,
however, who appear to be very inefficient people,
persuaded her to q diferen. ceurse-to leave this
great field of operations where she ought to have
started first, and to 90 to the small towns in the
interior. Whoever gave her this advice, whether
it is MIR. Waidwell or some other person, he is
unfit to occupy the position Of adviser.
It is not to be expected that QrtSte visiting this
country should know much about its peculiarities,
its currents or its counter CURRENTS and very few Of
them get into the hands of proper advisers-of
persons acquainted with the nature Of the popular
currents. When Jenny Lind 6rst came here, she
made some serious mistakes, arising fro1n bad ad-
vice; and we believe that since her separation
from Barnum, humbug though he is called, she has
met with much less thanshe did while under
his management. The truth is that her concerts
since she has been her own hook, have been con-
Quoted by persons foreign to this country-foregu to
its peculiarities, and ignorant of public opinion.
Hence it is that although her concerts have been,
to certain extent, successful, they have been far
Jess than they ought to have been aud far less
than they would have been if the persons who ma
ragged them were competent to occupy their posi-
tons.
1t is melancholy, sometimes, to see how foreign
artistes of the highest reputation and undoubted
genius are led astray, and their affairs mismanaged,
by persons who are not deserving of the confidence
placed in them, and are incompetent for the Office
they undertake.
