Infanticide in England.

Infautic;de is crime which is but little
known in this country. Once ia a while
d case occurs in our large cities, but nos
often. In Engl'nd it seems to have fear
fully increased within the last few years,
and is not conGued to single females, but
repeatedly perp Grated by married ones.
The London Leader Of a late date pab-
fishes a letter from Leeds, making the fol-
loving revelation concerning the prevalence
Of the crimts that town:
our yrticle head i = Moloch," on the
increase Of the crime Of iufanticide, is most
astounding nor is tie shadowipg forth Of
the amount at all overs;atcd. We have
at this time the walls Of oYr town placar-
dcd with bills Offering go reward for tho
detection Of til mIrdcIor Of new boru
maie child found on tie 18Th IF August.
Before the jury, vc Lad complete proofslof
4 Young womun III custody having been
pregnant ami delivered at on about the
umc, and many most suspicious clrcum-
stances were evident, duplicating her with
the crime before Us; kat owing to the cum
hin. and talsoLood Of Tie witnesses, moth
ing tangible could be proved. Upon that
inquest II was declared by the coroner, and
assen,ed to as prohnble ty the surgeon,
that there were, a. Lear a. could be ca!cu-
lated, about three hundred children pat 10
death yearly in Leeds alone that Were not
registered ty the law. In other words,
three hundred infants we're murdered to
avoid the consequences of their living, and
these nurjerers, IS the coroner SAID, are
never detected
The London Morning Chonicle, COM
mcnting on the same subject, says:
An cxlnple mast le made, and an
example Of a stroIs and lIteIiiglble char
actcr. 1t is said that in one of the Dor
setsh:re cases common cause WIS made
by the girls OF the county. They
attended the trial in large numbers and
We are informed that on the aoquittal Of
the prisoner general expression of delight
WIS perceptible in the court and they left
the assize town boasting - that they might
DO as they liked We are then, it seems,
with all our boastod civilization, relapsing
into barbarous and savage state of soci-
ETY.. Infanticide passed from unmarried
to married Even the sanc.ity of matri-
monial relation is not an effectual check
and unles, we are prepare to see child
murder gradually creep on from cllss to
class in society, we must make up our
minds to strong and uucompromising as
sertion of law ard Justice"

old town of Boston: England, once the res
idence of the Rev. j Ohm Cotton-thc scene
of persecution of the early Puritans-and
the birthplace of many of the early settlers
of this city owing to which facts our town
derived its name. The descendants OF
those who emigrated thence must ever en-
tertain sentiments of kindly regard for that
portion of the great family who still live
near the graves Of their sires and if there
be one place above all others which ma
tive born American Bostonian would like
to see, it is the Boston Of Old England.
In fact, we feel sort of fraternal regard
for the residents of Old Boston, and if "A
delegation could only be prevailed upon to
visit the Boston of New England, We think
there would be display of hospitality
which would cause the spirits of the early
settlers to manifest themselves through
living mediums without the aid of rap
pings. "A recent meeting of the Town
Council Of Old Boston was convened by
the Mayor, John Noble, Esq, to acbnowl-

JUSTICE TO THE DEAD. We notice in some of
the partisan papers a comparison between the late
President Polk and General Pierce, in which great
injustice is done to the former. Both were mem.
bers of Congress at the came time, and the Jour-
nails Of the four years they were in the House show
their relative standing and influence in that body
Mr.. Polk was soon selected as chairman of the
most important committee of the House-that Of
Ways and Means; and during the last two years
was the Speaker Of the House, where his great
ability admitted by all parties. General Pierce
never a member of any important committee
either of tho House or Senate, any one will see
by referring to the Journals of Congress. We
have no objection to seeing the most ample justice
done to the General by his supporters, but in Sc
curing their own ends they should not do injustice
to the memory Of Mr.. Polk, who occupied a very
different rank in point Of ability and statesman-
