"EsGLisH HILL"-The above locality has be-
come TO be q perfect nuisance, and there Is not
day passes that some of its inhabitants are not
brought before one or more of our Magistrates for
offences against the municipal laws. Day before
yesterday several inofensiye negro cartmen whilst
pursuing their humble avocation, were set upon
and stoned by party Of youngsters, the sons Of

the most Objectionable and dangerous in any com

up their residences. We allude to the lower class
Of Irish, or Greeks" as they sometimes call

any person Or persons, white or black, whose bu-
siness may take them in the neighborhood, and that
they shall respect the laws of the land, and our

by us on d street yesterday, rugged out Ia mill
tairs, having on coat, trimmed with Lace, and
huge pair Of sergeant's epaulettes. He seemed,
poor fellow, highly delighted with his ornaments |;
and persists in saying that he Is brother of cousin
to Louis Napoleon LIST. We understand that some
years ago he considered one of the most intel

town, being at that time engaged as clerk in one
