The Toronto Leader complains bitterly Of the
prevalence of vice and crime in that city, and ikens
it unto New York for villany. 1t says that, al
though it is unrivalled in architectural beauty by
any city of its size this continent it is neverthe
less in state of thorough decentralization. 1t gives
the following as a sketch;
''The number of committals, within the past few
months for crimes of the greatest enormty, nclud-
ing incendiarism murder. arson, rape, and every
other offence which can disgrace human nature, is
something positively appalling, the population of
the city being taken into account" 'It is the CEN
tire which attracts all the rufans from the rest OF
the Province, whose misdeeds have driven them from
their own homes" ''Persons perish mysteriously,
their dead bodies found hours after slowed away in
quiet corner of some obscure street, and their
blood remains for unavenged by human law.
Scenes unsurpassed in depravitv and shame by any
which are recorded in the dismal annals of the Five
Points of New York. the City of Paris, St Giles's
of London, from time to time turn up in this
trOpolis of ours"
This unsoundness of public morals, it says, is not
confined to the lowest class of people, but prevails
among those occupying the highest social positions,
and extends even to civic dignitares the Courts,
the City Councils, and the Confidential agents Of the
Government. The Leader reviews this unhappy
state of affairs in lengthy article, and calls loudly
for reform.

The New Haven Journal announces the death of
Hon. Harry L. Ellsworth, twin brother of Governor
Ellsworth of Connecticut. The two were the young
est children of Hon. Oliver Ellsworth second Chief
Justice OF the United States. He was graduate OF
Yale Gen. jackson appointed him a Commissioner
among the Indians, south and west of Arkansas
While employed in this service he made extensive
circuits towards the Rocky Mountains. In one of
these he accompanied by Washington Irving,
who thus obtained the materials for his work upon
our western prairies. At the end of more than
two years, Mr. Ellsworth was placed at the head of
the United States Patent Office. His attachment
to the pursuits of agriculture led him. in addition
to the ordinary Patent Office report, to commence
a series of reports to Congress the agricultural
condition of the country, embodying information
obtained by correspondence with every part of
the Union and containing suggestions often of great
Importance, for the improvement of the science to
which he was devoted. He led the way in obtain
ing valuable seeds from foreign countries, and cir
culating them, by means of the Post Office, in the
various parts of the United States to which they
were suited. By his labors and perseverance the
Patent Office was raised from depressed condition,
and rendered one of the most useful and popular de
partments of the government.
At the expiration of about ten years Mr.. Els
worth resigned his connection with the patent
office, and established himself at La Fayette, In
diana, in the purchase and settlement of United
States land His zeal and energy was felt through
out the whole of Northern Indiana and contributed
greatly to the settlement of that part of the
State.
About two years ago, he found his constitution
sinking, and therefore determined to return to Con-
necticut, and did so in April last.
