A Picture of New York

Ten thousand hardened and hone less female outcasts swarm tba s+rdot, ,. at night; two thousand children. under the disguise of peddlers, from the aces Of ten to sixteen, penetrate every pnb- lie building, store and office in the city
 to beg, steal, spy for burglars and on thelr own account practice those vices which cannot be named in respectable language; five thousand great and small gamblers prey upon the credu- lous and the infatuated, standing all day at the doors of their dens in Broadway, as we'll known in nerson and profession as the Mayor himself; ten thousand lazy, drunhS-, 4L;~..:~,, ort-boys, SWlII-Doys, killers, roughs, and rowdies of other names, lounge on rum cursed corners of the streets ,mak- ing day disgusting, night hldeous, and travel dangerous to all who can be sus- pected of having responsibility or mon ey; thousands of emigrant swindlers, mock auctioneers, lottery dealers, ool- icy packers, pickpockets, hall theives, burglars, wharf-rats, area-sneaks, pimps and yampyres, practice their knaverieS as openly and with as little fear of punishment as though they were engaged in the most virtuous and legitimate of human pursuits. The swell-mob of London, flying from the argus eyes of real police, and the uncomfortable felons of San Francisco, expatriated by the bullet and the hemp Of the Vigilance Committee, are re- ceived here with open arms, parade our streets under not only the tolera- tion, but the protection and personal friendship of the police, carry our prlmlnary elections, and fill high pla- ces on our nominating committees.- On every hand we have vice and crime, and splendor; crime, vice, rum and beggary. Here, in the first Eau5cu, 2 IS the CrockfOrd's of New York; there between the palatial residences of 8 millionaire and a divine, is the maason de j0lc of woman whose dress is the most brilliant, whose equipage the most costly, whose appearance is the most stunning, of any of the gay butterflies, vlrtuous or vicious, whose beauty and wealth add glitter to the opera or sun- shine to the promenade. Within bow shot of these palaces, is the other side of the world: for urpCSo>- diamonds, dirt; for Johanisberger, whiskey; for millionaircs, beggars; for divines, devils; for Aspasias, drabs; with here and there some poor 8tarv- ing wretch, painfully enacting the "Song of the Shirt" " her besieged vir- tue glimmering in the misery of this tangible hell, like the fabled jewel in a dunghill. And over all, we have set of men called rulers, wrangling like hungry dogs for the public purse; ly- ing and cheating for advancement; plotting to overthrow all law, that they may rob the people; and, in their in fuence upon our vast criminal popula- tion, recklessly faring their incendia- " torches in our moral powder house.

BURNING THE DEAD.--The Paris Academy of Medicine has set the pa pers to writing and the people to think ing earnestly of the return to the prac- tice of burning the dead. They say that in the summer time the Parislan hospitals are crowded with the victims of pestilence engendered by the foul air of the yards in the neighbor- hood. The vicinity of the cemeteries is constant source of mortality Their putrid emanations filling the air, and the poison they emit impregnatlng the water, are held chargeable for the many new and frightful diseases of the throat and lungs, which bafde all medical skill

LYNCH LAW IN ADAMS COUNTY The Natchez Courier, of last Satur- day, has the following account of a lynching operation in that vicinity:
 According to general report, there was kind of special Assizes Court held night before last below the city, near the site of old Fort Rosalie, and beneath the early light of the waning moon. It was one of those courts over which neither our high court or circuit judges preside, but which are called into being occasionally by the necessities of the case.
 It seems that quite number of val uabIe negroes have been stolen or run off from this neighborhood within a few weeks back. The absenting slaves are generally believed to have been en- ticed away by white men, un;a,cc:c the pretence of a safe conduct to a north ern cline, but who, after getting pos session of the negroes, have heartless- ly sold them. One or TWO slaves thus decoyed away, have been recovered, while others are still absent.
 It is generally reported that man by the name of Foster, or who gave himself that name, and who had been implicated in this wholesale business of negro stealing, was taken some where below Fort Rosalie, night be- fore last, and had administered to him most royal cow-hide fagellatiOn, we'll laid on, after which a skiff was rendered him with free permission to travel to some other vicinity where ne- gro stealing was differently punished. Under the effect of his punishment, it is understood that he made full con- fession, duplicating some other per sons in this vicinity. We presume the latter will find Natchez an undesirable place of residence.
 Public feeling is somewhat excited with regard to this matter, and with no small degree of justification. About three weeks since, quite large num- Der of negroes made their escape from neighboring county, and upon ex- animation 1t was found that book and pamphlet pedlar had been about and that amid his multifarious pursuits had been that of distributing tracts within the paper cover of which was g pocket and in that pocket, printed slip addressed to negroes, of a most infamatory and wicked nature. It is hardly to be wondered at, that wher cases of tampering with slaves become frequent, society rises superior to its own laws, and frees itself of those pests which it would be unable to cast off, did it wait for or depend entirely on the laws delay.

s9 Krautsalaat's wife has a great fancy for country life, and insists on keeping d hen in the back yard, as Hood says, :" to furnish milk, butter and eggs" for the family. The oth- CT day she came to Krautsalaat in great trepidation. My dear," said she, " the hen has commenced to set. I took the eggs away from her and she is setting now in one corner of the coal bin, on an old axe head" "Well, my dear,' responded Krautsalaat, in his subdued bilious way, eff the hen is setting upon an old axe-head, il seems quite likely she may hatch it ,

Fosp1cK- and published in the Cincinnati Commercial Land of the West thank God, there is a snot Where Liberty hath cast the human lot Linked all the nations with chain of love. One land united, and One God above! Land of the West of the stripes and the stars The bright spangled flag of the tripIe-hued bars Which proudly detieth the world to the plain. And floats like rainbow above the blue main The breeze does not blow where thy folds are not
 spread,
 And the heart is at home to behold thee o'er head Iris the flag of the free, rom Ne~ Enrland's

 To the Southern savannas, that wave with their From Ohio's green fields, where the maize futters
 bright,
 To the plains where the cotton's like snow in the
 night,

 chained Lakes To the evergreen cane, with its intricate brakes, That flag thrills each heart and attracts every one As the ancient Peruvians knelt to the sun. Tis the land where the wisdom of sages has taught The children to prize what their sres have bought Where the sturdy armed yeoman who turns the
 green sward Is peer for prince, and a match for a lord, Where the stalwart swart artisans hammer that
 rings.
 Is an ensign to show by the standard of kings; Where his thoughts and his words free as the
 wind,
 And his laboring frame is the temple of Mind Though his front from the red glowing furnace be
 brown,
 He can smile unabashed at an emperor's fro7n, And he feels in Religion no other control Than the will of his Conscience and choice of his
 soul.
 In the army of Progress he leadeth the van With his Maker master, and he as the man, As the G dmoulded clay, full of beauty and worth As the crown of creation, and pride of the earth. He cryeth, come on in the Intellect's march, And drives home the keystone in Sciences arch And he never will blush, though he stand by
 throne, For Freedom and Washington's land is his own.
