The Legislature OF our stale is very properly,
urgent, aud all but unanimously, enireated 10
pnss an act which will enable and equlre our
Police to break up ut once those dens Of
bcsia pullaton called Concert Saloons, which
form tie most recent and pestilent eruption Of
dcprayity on the surface Of this great city
These Concert Saloons are, as a class, the
Hest brothcls ever yet established III our city
crowding our most thronged thorougharc with
their many -colored lights, whereby swarIns Of
loose, foolish boys, with some Of the hardrued
in lechery and sin, are decoyed into lasc5ious
haunt-, where modesty and shame are unknown
and lcwducss finds every facility for coarse aud
disgusting qualification.
We trust the Legislature Will act promptly
and thoroughly on this subject, so as to leave
the Police no excuse for hesitation. Let each
of these obscene concerns be- closed at once aud
forever aud let their contrivers, managers, anu
ministers be constrained TO instant Hight, rs
the only escape from condisn punishment.
This done, We beg our makers not to
stay their hand. The Cty--erery cty-ls full
of establishments, ranging from novels up to
nalace,. wherein sexual vice is made matter

Of the wages of pollution; houses wherein inc

The Canada from Liverpool and Queens
town on the 2sth and Doth nit, reached Hall
fax on Wednesday, with two days later news.
1t is, however, of little Importance. There
was a general feeling of anxiety to learn the
result of the Trent affair, and hopes OF peace
were gaining ground The papers were still
occupied with articles warlike and abusive, but
comparatively little heed was given to them.
Bellicerent preparations went on. Every regl'
meut in camp at Aldershot had been inspected
and was in readiness to sail. A body of trained
nurses was to proceed to Halifax. A letter
written by command Of the Queen appears in
the English papers, wherein her Majesty says
that her only consolation hereafter will be III
carrying out the wishes and intentions OF her
late beloved husband.

ress of the command.
Many interesting details Of the labors of the
Commission-the Classification Of diseases, and
the progress of ameOration, in the prevention
and the modes of treating existing eyils-wilI
be found in the ample summary Of the report
in other columns. The relations between Gen
eral and Regimental Hospitals are alluded to at
length; but our space will not permit us to
dwell on them. The Commission, while al
hitting the great care which has been taken IN
the examination for the admission of candidates
to the Medical Staff of the Regular Army, yet
points out where serious defects are found to
exist. "The policy Of the Government" say the
Commissioners, "has not heretofore been such
" as to develop high degree of professional
L" requirement. The Assistant Surgeon, as soon
." az he ia commissioned, has generally been
" sent to distant frontier, where he serves
" for several years as physician at a small
" military post the garrison of which rarely
" consists of more than two companies-often
" of one of only 90 men. During most
" of his time his experience is 10 many instances
80 limited to a small amount yearly Of indigo
" nous disease, and few trilng accidents and
she is thus practically untitled for professional
" responsibilities of a rider range" BY
general concurrence these allegations Of the
Commission are admitted to be true, and the
publication of this report can hardly fail to
draw public attention to the necessity of bring
ing so important branch Of the public service
as the Army Medical Board into something like
conformity with the requirements Of the time.

When the Unionists are Outnumtered and
beaten, as OF Balls Bluff, our losses are apt to
be heavy, for our men stand and 6ght till they
f,l; when the Rebels find themselves getting
the worst Of fight they run 5000 and 80
fast that their loss is relatively small. Even
at Dranesville, where they were met mau "
man, on their own ground, with heavy reserves
only few miles of, they stood but an hour,
and then made Bull Run time, after having
lost but 200 out of q force on the ground Of
over 1900. They first frankly confessed them
selves whipped in that encounter, bat have.
since issued dozen different bulletins intended
to belttle their defeat into mere check. and
then to account for it by magnifyins our 2, 100
Cnionsts on the field to fifteen regiments
Tho facts, however, that they were thoroughly
whipped, and only saved themselves from heavy
loss by early aud precipitate flight, are not
explained away.
Our more recent triumphs in Western and
Northern Virginia are belittled by eimilaf
CELEBRITY of movement on the Rebel sde. That
at Blues Gap yesterday is brilliant IN every
thing but the number Of rebels disabled os cap
tured. They lost their cannon, wagons, &c.,
but ran so soon and so fast that only 10 OF
them were killed and 20 captured. Blu. when
ever our Grand Army on the Potomac shall b
ready TO advance while tie Union forces IN
the West are steadily driving 10 the rebels
from that quarter, the running gear o, tho
rebels will prove far less seryiceable than Il
has been, because their race ground will by
that time have been very considerably restricted.
When they begin to run from Center'ils and
Manassas, they will have to make straight
and swift rush for the Carolinas.
