PICTURES OF EA TCRE.

Amorr the Infamous houses pitched upon BY the
last G,apd Jury was an establishment at No. 1903
Mercer 1T over which a woman named Msrths Will
son pre.ided. The consequence was that Miss W.
was arrested ard but for the kindly interpretation Of
a gentleman named Merki-Herman Marks, we be-
Eeve-wbo symp sthized to the amount Of bonds for
$500 for her misfortunes che would have been ban
isbed her abode to seek for soace 10 the T,mbs
or the Penitentiary But through the kindly Offices
Of her friend Marks, this fate wss spared the fair
fallen one, and she more plunged into her vicious
trade with renewed vigor. Notwithstanding the
profitable nature Of Miss Wilson's profession in se-
we're seasons lie these extra attractions found
necessary to get along. So, ever alive to her own
interest," she holds high counsel With her customers,
and finally invites them to participate, on certain
evening in an entertainment of unusu slly interest
ing character. Delighted with the prospec, before
them the young gentlemen, fresh from the family cir
cles Ct Upper Tendon and the couDtng-rOons Of
Gown town hurried TO keep their appointment with the
depraveo women who were to minister to their base
appetes Arrived at the spot, the hostess received
them with her blandest smiles, and her miserable
satellites manifested great deal Of hollow happiness
ct their coming. Seated in the chamber that had
been prepared for the orgies Of the evening music and
rum we're soon brought into requison TO ul to sleep
the few sparks Of virtue that might, perchance, still
lnger in the company. Women and wine soon
washed oil troces Of decency from the scene and then
the rank revery began in earnest. The females, as
previously arranged stripped off the whole of their
gew-gsws and fnery and then in paris naturaiibus,
went through the routine Of model artist show"
To any but the most hopelessly debauched, the ap-
d araDce Of these creatures-some red, fat, and
Aabby; Others brown, and lank, and skinny, with
h,egsrd faces that pearl and rouge could hide, aad
hollow, cleaning eyes that spoke OF despair-must
have been eorrowful in the extreme. This
dele table party was posturiDg, foundering, aud
waddlirg, gyrstng and circume grating around the
roon al the enter aDment at its hight when az
authoritative voice demanded admission to the parlor,
and before the inmates could recover from their
alarm, Capt. Turnbull and posse Of policemen en-
tered, and without more ado arrested the females.
The miserable women was allowed to dress them
seves, and then, in charge Of the officers, five of
them were marched off and locked up for tae night.
Yesterday Justice Brennan sent them to the Penen-
tiary, for vsgrsncy. So ended one Of the meaner
sort of secret scenes in City life, while many more
"r,speciabie' and heightened were in full blast in
the same and in other streets. The names Of some Of
the " artists captured, are Francis Brown, Mary
Mills, and Adelaide Williams. They were were sent
to the Pepitebtiary as Migrants.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER A WOXAN.

On Monday evening, between and O'Clock, a
tall man, developed in cloak and much disguised,
entered very quietly, by means Of false key, the
residence Of Mr. Nathaniel C. Bishop, No. s9i Broad
way and proceeded Immediately to the psrlor, where
Mrs Bishop was engaged in playing on the piano aud
instantly discharged pistol at her, but fortunately
withou! effect az the ball missed it, aim and passed
through pane of glass, striking the brick wall Of
building nearly adjoining The rascal then left as
suddenly as lie had entered, and though two of the
serysnts who heard the report Of the pistol at
the parlor door Immediately sfterward, they could
only catch glimpse Of him. The alarm was given,
and policeman was obtained but too late TO effect
the arrest Of tie perpetrator Mrs. Bishop was so
frightened that she tainted, and it was time be-
fore she could be restored to consequences Who the
villain is neither Mrs. Bishop nor her husband can
iu agine as they not aware of having given seri-
ous offe pse 10 any one About o'clock on the same
afternoon tall man, with blue eyes and black hair,
wearing cloak, called at the house and inquired for
Mrs. B.. who wss then out, and this individual is sup
posed to be the one who aerward attempted to take
her life Previous to entering the paror the villain
had expguished tie gas in the hail. and there being
no light in the parlor except what emitted from
the FIRE. Mrs. b. was unable even to catch glimpse
of his face.
An attempt, similar in character to the above, was
made 10 shoot Mrs. b. while she at the residence
Of Der brother Cap. Fletcher at rarrytown. on her
twentieth birthday, the 18th Of September last; but
this was also unsuccessful as Mrs. b. was unframed
The villain In this instaI CO alsO escaped detection
The police are using e1ertons to ascertain who is the
perpeha,Or Of the outrage with view to his arrest,
and i, much TO be hoped that they may be success
full as the family are fearful that he may make an
other aud perhaps, more successful attempt upon the
Life Of the lady.

THE MAJOR AND HIS REFORMS.

TIE BILeIAS CosyIcTs The Belgian Consul a.
Philadelphia has not provided means Of support f)r
thee unfortunate zen as be promised 10 bis very
smsr, le, CT 10 Mayor Wood. Ater careful eI IN
ins;ion Of the testimony taken before Judge Beebs
and from information received from Belyum throu IA
the State Department at Washington the Mayor has
been compelled IL come TO the conclusion tina. they
are coIyic's IL is, a, any rate ascertaned beyond
al question, tina, t2ey are paupers. The proposition
20 allow them TO 60 10 the Western country be con-
s:ders entirely nadmssible Iftbey no, ct to be
let lcose in Ne. York ii is quite certain ID they
not ft TO be let loose in the West NewIork being
tie gre eLrep6t he is acting for the whole country
il acting for The City. Tbese vii, therefore, bs
returned TO Antwerp, and an Official letter TO that
effect will be sen, to NJ Mali, the Belgian Consul a.
this port to-day. Hereafter, whenever paupers are
brought, very heavy bonds viii be required Of the
ships bring Dc them, and Whenever convcts are sent
be- they will be sent back again This viii have to
be dore at the expense of the City since ships cannot
be compelled to carry them back again until some
arrangement TO that effect stall be concluded between
cur owl and foreign Governments.
A NV CRY CHARTER.-The Mayor has written
a lei gtby and important letter which will be pub
lei cd in due time upon the subject Of the proposed
City Charter. The letter advocates very strongly the
separation of the electors fer General and State off,
Gers from those for Charter officers.
The Gas AND OIL CosTRAcTs.-Some very def
mite scton will coon be tax IN with reference to the
COS sDd oil contracts II they not more stric ly
fulfilled they will be declared void. The Mayor will
r.fuse sign warrants for the payment Of these men
until they perform their duties.
SUNDAY LIQuoR.SELLIsG The liquor returns for
lest Sunday are very satisfactory. From a majority
of the W ords not single case has been reported.
He'd it lot been for the sleigh-bells, last Sabbath
would have been the most quiet one that New-Yo1k
has seen for 80 years.
UsorrIcIAL BusIsEss.-A great deal Of unofficial
business is tire nsscted in the Office The impression
seems prevail that the Mayor has power to redress
all wrongs And so, in addition to his many msgis-
teral duties judicial and executive, he is frequently
Under the ssy Of acting arbitrator or friend.
Property has b. restored through his agency where
it had been taken away go ingenously that justice
could not be obtained through the law Some of the
meet celcate csses Of domestic difficulty between
married couples Of the fret respecsabi,y bave been
Satisfactorily aid successfully arranged.
IsTLurscE 1t is somewhat curious to notice the
outside influence of the administration Of City
Eff irs for Instance, LOG persons were fined by Justice
Green tie other day, for violation of City ordinances,
misde meanor which for ten years past has been en-
trey unknown.
