Prostitution on SHrPBoARD.-It will be remember
ed that Mr. We're Foster, phanthropic English gentle
man. recently collected about 100 Irish girls whose
characters were unblemished at home, and gratuit-
ousy shipped them on board the packetship City of
Mobile for this port. He on in steamer in ad-
vance in order to receive them on their arrival and
take them to the West. When the ship arrived he
found that more than dozen of the girls declined to
90 any further. With the remainder he went West,
and placed them in good situations, where they could
support themselves in responsibility. What became
of the black sheep not known until the other day,
when poor, miserable object in Broadway attracted
the attention of kind.hearted gentleman, who took
her to the Commissioners of Emigration.
1t was found that she was wandering in her mind
and was evidently suffering Fundamentally as well
as physically. Her face was mass of bruises, and
her clothes rent in shreds. She told an ncoherent
story the gist of which that she to the city
that she had heedessy turned away from his and
reQuited his kindness with ingrattude Since then she
had been living life of crime and suffering, and at
length had fled from the house, and was wandering
about the street homeless and friendess, without
clothes money
II was at length discovered that number of the
girls who came out under Mr. Fosters care had been
entrapped from the ship by sailors and Others and
taken to houses of ilfame. The girl was eventually
sufficiently recovered to make the following affidavit:

Sworn to before me this lth day Of August, 1857,
BERN'D CAssERLy Commissioner of Deeds.
The Commissioners, by the consent of Justice Os-
born sent an officer to No. 80 Water street. and ar
rested Ellen Neary, and sent her to Wards Island.
The above cases are fair e1empGfcation of the
unblushing profgacy which prevails on emigrant
ships Here are number of girls selected account
of good character, who were vouched for by their
clergy as being respectable young women placed on
shipboard and there irretrievably ruined within the
short space of four or five weeks. Who responsible
for this Clearly the officers of the vessel for allow
inc unrestricted intercourse between the and their
female passengers. But why should officers of packets
be expected to interfere when il is notorious that they
generally set an example of shameless profgacy to
their men. This is no isolated case. We have reason
TO believe that on the packetshps which come from
European ports to the port of NewYork more women
are prosttuted every year than in London, Paris and
New-York put together.
This dreadful state of things however will never
be bettered until our merchants select good, moral
men to command their ships and establish on board
system of rigid nOnintercOurse between the passen'
cers and crew. We can scarcely look for this, how
ever while such men as Capt. Conway are retained in
command, after the exposure OF their proflgaey
In the case above alluded to, it is papaby apparent
Il at the officers Of the ship must have been cognzant
of the conduct Of their crew. They knew also that
the ship was liable to be fined for every passenger not
landed at Castle Garden and yet allowed the crew to
secrete these girls in the orecase and then smugge
them ashore and convey them to their Water street
dens. We trust that their wiful neglect Of duty will
be punished to the utmost extent Of the law.
