RES. OF course the Times never heard Of
such an outrage as the destruction Of Grey
town; of course mot Il has not heard from
the Baltic this year It knows nothing Of
defenceless towns burned, and women raw
ished there! It never saw another London
newspaper which nblushingly apologized for
those atrocities! There is no beam in its
own eyes, and it can therefore clearly see
the notes in the eyes of others f4
g The only point of Importance in the arti-
Gle Of the Times is that ..her Majestys ship
Boscawen. win Immediately proceed to
Greytown to afford protection to British in
terests on the Mosquito coast, and the Brit
ish government cannot fail to give their most
serious attention to this painful occurrence
1t is possible that the presence OF British
force at Greytown, (over.which Great Britain
has no more right of dominion than over
Vera CRUZ and of an American force in the
same waters, may lead to collision which
will still further complicate the relations of
the two countries As to Great Britain de-
liberately going to war with the United States
about Greytown, and thereby losing her best
customer. and the most powerful of all her
allies-King Cottoa-it is mere fudge and

NEWSPAPERS AND HONE INTEKEsTs.-A
New York contemporary has some well de-
served ridicule of the monotony of many
newspaper landscapes, and the logged stu
pidity with which papers at the circumfer-
ence often copy the tone and subjects of pa
pers at the centre, quite ignoring those local
interests which give newspaper not only
its chief value at home, but its principal at
traction abroad. The exchanges are valued
by the press at the great centres of business
in proportion to the facts they make known
respecting the trade, resources and interests
of their immediate neighborhoods. AS to
dull and cumbrous political disquisitions, no
one, either at home or abroad reads them,
except in high party times.
There has been within few years vast
Improvement in this respect in the press of
Virginia, both of city and country. We see
this Improvement, not only in the journals
of our own city, ut the newspapers which
we receive from the interior are beginning to
find that the best way to make paper use
full and popular, both at home and abroad, is
to make it a mirror of the life in its own To-
eality; to publish everything connected with
its agricultural and mineral treasures, its ma
nufacturing capabilities, the progress and
prospects of its improvements, and of all the
leading and even the lesser interests within
the sphere of that journal.
some of the most pitsbls and painful sights in
this CITY, is the thousand and one barefooted. rae
sed and filthy children idling about the streets or
in stormy weather, plying old brooms at the street
crossings. Running among the omnibuses and car.
riages they perform, 1t is true, fair share of what
little street cleaning is done, to the shame of our
authorities be it said-and their remuneration con.
sists of the few pennies dropped into their palms
by pedestrians. #taf
"No less than a thousand of these unfortunates
may be counted In New York on any rainy day.-
years of age but many of them twelve, fourteen,
and still older. Mixed among these girls are enough
boys to educate them in all the vicousness and vul
garity of their sex; and between their own depra
witty, ingrained by life in the streets almost from
infancy, and that caught from their male compan
ions, they present picture of debasement which
might delight fiend bent on the annihilation OF
humanity.
Low slang, obscenity, and bIasphemy of the
coarsest kind Is their current language from morn
Ing until night This is visible to any who ira
verses our Streets unless his eyes be strained ON
Africa, or some distant land of lesser heather -
When the night comes these children scatter to
their haunts-wherel Some 60 to homes more fl
thy than the streets they have been sauntering or
sweeping. where drunken fathers and mothers
eagerly seize the earnings of their children's sin
and shame to prolong the foul orgies of Five Points
and kindred places; and some already reckless of
home, or homeless, seek rum holes, or bells of vice
still more disgusting York Mirror.
We commend the above to the polished
champion of city life, the New York Ezpress
Can he pretend, with such facts before him,
to repeat that country life is as corrupt as
that of the city. Where, in all the rural dis
tricts of the wide world, can he find such
denominations as the Mirror selects? No
wonder that the streets of New York are un-
safe, and the penitentiaries full. Why don't
the aboltionists come to the rescue Where
is Henry Ward Beeeher? Where is Horace
Greeley, while these heather are swarming at
their doors?
CRUDEN's CoNCoRDANCE-We are indebt.
ed to the courtesy of the publishers, through
Rev. DIR. Lee, for handsome copy of Cru
denis Concordance. This edition is probably
the most correct and perfect which has ever
been issued. The work itself needs no re.
commentator at our hands. 1t is a monu-
ment OF industry and learning, and an indis
pensable auxiliary to the study of Scripture.
In the preface it is stated that Hugo de s.
Charo, preaching Friar of the Dominican
order, who was afterwards Cardinal, was
the first who compiled Concordance to the
Holy Scriptures; he died in the year 1862
From that time various works of a like cha.

den is the most complete. Any text of Scr;n-
