OuTRAGEs UPON FEMALEs-The Troy (N.
" Times says that it is estimated that the
number of criminal outrages committed upon
females in the United States during the past
year has been $500. In forty eight eases the
victim was either murdered upon the spot, or
death subsequently resulted from the injuries
inflicted upon her. The number of suicides
of females was 189-in 81 cases the poor self
murderers has been the victims of seduction
or-outrage. This is horrid catalogue, and
one may we'll be surprised at the apathy with
which crime so fearfully prevalent is re-
garded; and yet we venture to say that not one
half the truth is known. If the wrongs which
are borne and suffered in secret were brought
to light, and the calendars of our criminal
courts thoroughly searched, We should fine
them footing up an aggregate with which the
above figures would bear scarcely compari-
son. .....s

men who do not scruple to use woinan's

for they are the very worst members of the

from most dire accumulation of fmisfortunes
the first of these was the death from cholera of
her nephew, at Balaklava. This was followed
by the decease, from the same cause, of her
husband. The nextintelligence she received
was to the effect that her house in the country
had been burned to the ground. Scarcely
had she been made acquainted with this fact,
when the failure of Messrs Strahan's bank
deprived her of not less than thirty thousand
pounds; and, to crown ali her misery, she has
