Hell in New York CITY.

On Saturday evening one Of the many
barbarous bailings which are almost daily
taking place, to the disgrace of New
York, was enacted in a Pandemonium
kept by one Mclaughlin at No. l55 First
avenue. Three hundred beings, human
only in shape, were crowded together in
a close, nolsome cellar, only about twen-
ty feet square, and great part Of that Ia
ken up by what is most fitly termed "the
pitt to gloat over the agones and dabble
themselves in the blood of animals who
cannot by any possibility be so brutal as
themselves. The cruelties of Saturday
evening were less savage than usual no
bets were pending the animals were
tortured merely for the amusement of the
spectators; so we saw the barbarlty in It's
midest form. The programme as pub
lished-and here We must be permitted 10
admire the watchfulness of the police
the programme, as advertised three days
beforehand, announced that "the sports OF
the evening would commence with bear
batting badger and coon drawing, wolf
hunting and rat-killing." The bear was
baited by FIVE dogs until lie caught them
in his paws and crunched them half 10
death, amid the yelIs and cheers of the as,
sembled fancy. The badger was atlemp-
ted to be drawn by more than dozen,
some of whom we're with great difficulty
choked off having set their teeth deep
in his throat.
An amateur match was then made be.
tween two large dogs, who fought with
such fury that in five minutes their pan
ting could be heard above the shouts o
their masters and when they stopped fol
moment in one place, they marked it by
pool of blood, The dogs sank severa
times quite exhausted, but were reanina
ted by tanning and cheering until the fgh
had lasted twenty minutes they were
then quite helpless. The fendish shouts
Of derision and applause with which the
whole fight was filed, must be heard and
felt to be understood. Three more fights
of the same character followed one of them
lasting nearly half an hour. When the
last matched dogs had been carried out
dripping with blood, bag ofrats was emp
tied in the pit, and men and dogs jumped
in, kicking up general melee. When
the rats were killed and the slippery arena
cleared again, dog and raccoon were
pitted against each other. The raccoon
dexterously caught the dog by the nose
and held him till the blood streamed.-
This was particularly delicious morseI
for the fancy, and was loudly appreciated
A number ofequally sanguinary dog ghts
followed, and the exercises were closed
early on Sunday morning by rattle for a
do still bleeding from the fght.-N. Z

A Russian Menace.

. The New York IT5June says, on what
authority is not stated, hat the Empe-
Tor Alexander has sent word to Austria,
that the moment she /" shall irrevoca-
bly, ally herself to the West, or commit
any overt act of hostility against Russia,
Alexander II. toiH place himself at tie
head of the PdnSLavist increment, and
change the title of Emperor of all tho
Russians into that of Emperor Of all the
AIcoHidnS." -
More improbable things than the
above have happened-and yet would it
not be rather a dangerous game for the
young Emperor to play? He himself is
about nine-tenths German blood, and
the narrow and bigoted Slavonic feeling
once aroused, might demur to the gov
ernment of a German monarch. Be-
sides, among the high nobility of Rus
STA, is also found an influential party of
German descent. Thus this Slavonic
movement might cut both ways; GER
tainly it would have a very sharp edge
towards Austria, but then it might have
another equally sharp towards ST. Pc
