Foreign News.

The news, by the arrival Of the Niagara,
is not very important. Whether the peace
of Europe will be disturbed by the Turkish
and Russian affairs seems to be undecided.
The advices received just as the Niagara
sailed were deemed less favorable for the
maintenance Of peace.
At Liverpool, wheat had advanced Cd.
per bushel and flour Cd. per barrel.

Increase of Crime.

Should we undertake to keep our read
ers advised of all the murders, and the
trials and incidents attending them, that
occur throughout our land, we could al
most fill our paper, each week, to the ex-
clusion of other matter. So common has
it become that it ceases to attract the al.
tention as formerly. For the alarming in
crease of this horrible crime, we have seen
no satisfactory reason. In the city Of New
York there will have been seven execu-
tons in the course of the year, if Neary,
who lies under sentence OF death is execut-
ed. In all England and Wales in 1852,
the whole number Of executions was but
nine. The population of New York is six
hundred thousand-the population Of Eng.
land and Wales is eighteen millions. So
that New York, with population Of only
one AirtietA Of that OF England and Wales
hangs seven where the latter hang nine.
0cA writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer comes to the conclusion that nine
ty per cent. Of all delays and miscarriages
of letters are attributable to the want Of
proper directions by the writer's; and after
enumerating great number of instances
Of misdirection, says:
fashionably done up letter came to the
Office last week without word on it, so
we opened it, considering ourselves as
near nothing as could be in the eyes OF
outside grumblers, and we found it deci-
dedly good business letter, to Merchant
in New York, and containing FIVE hundred
dollars. We returned it to the writer for
:.better directions" Had the writer for
gotten less, September would have found
it "among the dead" And what hustle
among the secret agents to scent the track
of the robber till that time. A letter this
morning acknowledging the receipt Of
5000, &C., not scratch on it, came to the
office.
