DESERTED CHILDREN.-Somewhere on St.
Dryades streets-skulking in dirty alleys
and sleeping under riekety sheds; begging
crumbs OF the charitable or eating garbage
that dogs disdain to touch-we hear that
there are two little children, who have been
driven by drunken and unnatural mother
to wander upon the streets, from sheer
terror produced by her cruel conduct.
The boy is about eight years old, and the
girl five or six. 1t is said that the face of
the girl is bruised and blackened by re-
peated beatings, inflicted by its fendish
parent, and that the boy has slept in the
street several nights, subsisting on the
refsse of the cutters, and reclining on bricks
and stones wherever he can find shelter
from the vigilant eye of the police. Both
of the children are in rags, and in a starving
condition, while the mother frequents low
drinking dens, clad in tattered garments,
making companionship with disreputable
characters. Is there no "Good Samaritan"
among the numerous neighbors, having a
knowledge of these facts, who will see that
these innocent children-framed in The
image of the angels, but companioned with
a fend-are handed over to The guardian
ship of some one of the benevolent institu-
tons that exist in this city! The case calls
for the active interference of the benevo-
lent

Transportation of Goods i'm Bond.

Instructions have been received here from
the Treasury Department, in reference to
the transportation of imported goods in
bond from New Orleans to any point in
this collection district, including Natchez,
Memphis, Vicksburg, Cairo, st. Louis,
Nashville, Louisville and Cincinnati.
Steamboats, taking goods in bond are not
required to wait here for clearance, as
heretofore, but may depart as soon as the
goods are ON board. The advantage is, that
our river steamers may take on goods for
transportation in bond at any time after the
Customhouse has closed, and depart with
out delay. Heretofore, steamers have been
detained until the succeeding day, and
sometimes from Saturday night till Monday
morning! awaiting clearance.
We learn from Deputy Collector Champ
lin that this desirable result has been
brought about by the efforts of the Custom
house officials here
