FOREIGN AND NATIVE GRIMM ALs-The
Philadelphia Times says that the statistics
of crime in that city for the last five months
show the following astounding result: The
whole number of arrests during this period
is fifteen thousand six hundred and six.
Of these, ten thousand fire hundred an1
tacelre are foreigners. and EIGHT THOU
SAND THREE HUNDRED AND TWELVE ARE
IRISH. These facts speak with trum-
pet voice to the common sense, the patriot
ism. and the self-preservation of every Am
erican. The foreign population is consider
ably less than one.ff1h of the native
born yet of the whole number of arrests,
more than tuo thirds are foreigners. In
this proportion. if the whole population had
been on level in point of morality. with
the foreign inhabitants. the entire number
of arrests would have amounted to the ap-
palling number of over -tit1y thousand in
FIVE months.

All party organization tends toward faction.
This is its evil. But it is inseparabe from

Loss Of the AIljes.-The Paris CORES
pondent of the National Intelligencer enters
into calculation of the losses of the Allie:
at the late successful assault upon the South
side of Sevastopol, from which it appears
that, despite the romancing account of Pc
llssier, they must have lost in killed wound
ed and missing, 25,000 men. Adding the
number put hors de combat in the unsuc'
cessful attack upon the Malakoff, they can
not have lost less than 10000 men in tse
two assaults upon the south side. This was
about the number which General CanrObeII
predicted it would cost to take the place
As it's, they have only taken one portion
OF 1t, and may have to sacrifice 10000 more
before their triumph is complete.
