morals was decided by the Police in the
neghborhood of the Crystal Palace, last
Sunday, after this wise. Several IriShmen,
backsmilhs, commenced work in their SHOP
in Seventh avenue, which is situated among

tionabIe kind, thinking that they had as good
right 10 earn an honest penny at their
somewhat noisy trade, on the Sabbath, as
their immediate neighbors had TO earn mo-
ney by selling rum, and stimulating quarrels
and brutal fights among drunken men, vic.

thought differently, for in burst Of moral
zeal these worlhies seized the blacksmiths,
and hurried them off 10 the lock up, where
they remained over night. Yet the grogge-
rcs were permitted 10 remain unmolcsed
oil day, and were the scene Of much bru-
lalilv and noise in the evening. York
