Murders in NeW.YOrk,

Several recent articles in the New-York
papers have called our attention to the great
number of murders and homicides committed
in that city. The Tribune enumerates over
30 cases of clear murder within the last three
years. in most Of which the perpetrator or
perpetrators have never been discovered, in
others though known they have escaped pun
lshment, from one cause and another. That
paper does not profess to give complete list
of the murders within that period for if that
were practicable, it would be a very extended
one, since in the year 1857, the "bloody year"
as it is termed, more than sixty murders were
committed in that city-the Burdell case be-
ing one of them; but only list of such as
have not been discovered, or not punished.
These bear so large proportion to the
whole, that We cease to repose any great con-
fidence in the maxim, that murder uW out"
The reverse in NewYork is at least generally
the case.
What fearful record of crime. in single
city in this age Of high civilization, with its
thousand churches, its tens of thousands of
sunday scholars! The World" newspaper
in some well timed remarks suggested by the
recent public execution Of Albert Hicks, for
piracy and murder, and of Rev. Jacob S.
Harden for the attrocious murder of his Young
wife i'll New-Jersey, by poisoning, makes the
startling declaration that the murders in the
state of New-iork, average one day, or 800
for the year.
This We are confident must be an exagser-
alton. 1t would carry the ratio of crime to
population. up to as high rate as in the city
in the worst year on record
Every body knows that there is no such
equality between city ard country. a crow
ded city is the hot-bed Of every vice and
crime

C. New-iork papers give the names of
Of thirty vessels which have within ten wears
past been fitted out at that post to engage in
the slave trade. Not one of these, SO far as
we know, has been captured, although eleven
others not included in the above have been
captured by cur fleet on the coasts of Afri-
ca and Cuba. since April, 1859. One of the
thirty was suspected when she left the port,
and consequently was pursued by some of
the officials, down the Bay, overhauled, and
was about to be turned back, when hand
some bribe relaxed the grasp of these ohci-
ais, and the SLAYER proceeded on her course
to the coast Of Africa.
Would it not be a blessing to the country
and happy thing for the cause Of humanity,
to have new set Of government. officials
throughout, in whose integrity and honesty
full confidence may be reposed?
