To supply this desideratum is the object of the present undertaking. The New Youx Lascer will be conducted on principles somewhat simi- lar to those which have been so successfully adopted in the management of several European publications, of a kindred character, and acknowledged utility. It will be entirely independent of any particular set’ of men, and will uniformly endeavor to advance, by every legitimate means within its reach, the great interests of the emi bryos useful and elevated profession, in whose service it will be engaged. ; When the proprietors state that this periodical will give permanent record to the really valuable results of theaccumulated experience and observation of the thou- sands of practitioners scattered over the widely extended field of the United Stat nd will present to them, in the manner best adapted for practical utility, brief analyses of the labors of distingaished medical writers in Europe and this country, they conceive that thess considerations alone will be found sufficient to gain for the contemplated work all the patronogs which they can detire. to be more explicit, however, the following outlin plan of the pudlication is submitted.

NEW YORK, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 6, 1842. Report on the Re-organization of the Po- Mee, Fire and Watch Departments of this City. We commend the following extracts {rom the report of the Common Council on the above sub- jests to the notice of our readers :— Whe End of Man is Peace. “Mark the perfect man, aod behold the upright ; for the end of that man is peace.”—Psalm 37th. verse 37th. itis a thought ‘The weary heart to cheer ; ‘The fainting spirit to revive, When all looks dark and drear.

It matters not, though rude the grave Prepar’d for our poor clay,— It matters not, our spirit olest With peace, will soar away.

Their complex schemes arrested, then No comiort can bestow ; ‘The awful gap they leave is fll’d With unavailing woe. est atrocity. The ordinances of the city, and the laws of the State, are habitually violated with im. punity. The property of the citizen is pilfered, almost before his eyes. Dwellingsand warehouses are entered wit& an ease and apparent coolness and carelessness of detection, which shows that none are safe. Thronged as our city is, men are robbed in the street. Thousands, that are arrested, go unpunished, amd the defenceless and beautiful are ravished and murdered in the day time, and no trace of the criminal is found. The man of busi- ness, in his lawful calling, at the most pablic cor- ner of our city, is slaughtered in the sunshine, and eked up and sent away, by the most public ‘nown chal of trade, and suspicion is hardly excited. The fire department, heretofore the pride and se- curity of the city, woe of men in whom good character ie native, and good conduct habitual, stead of an efficient good, an activ ‘ng are nut generally aware ‘8 present organization has promoted vice and crime.

It is there that have been formed gangs of disturbers of the peace, that march through the streets ond defy the law, and thence have gone fo.th those adepts in villany, that, them- selves skilled in committing al! sorts of crime inall sorts of ways, have taught ee art to pupils of the brightest capacity. It is under such influences, (and it is not to be wondered at,) that large compa- nies of firemen, in the day time, in the most public streets, in the most quiet and orderly pars of the The Course of Time, Ob! let the soul in slumber break, Arouse its senses, and awake, To see how soon Like, with its glories, glide Aud the stern tootsteps of de Come stealing on ; ay, How pleasure, like the g wind, e ' | * “ d city, have laid aside their fire dress, and, by con- meer eerie ere certed arrangement, waylaid and attacked, in the How still our present happiness most deadly manner, other fire compan turned from the scene of riot and blood: joice im perfect impunity, because no e: even under the solemnity of an oath, could brea! through their ¢: mbinations and expose the guilty.

Ali seemto see that New York is made the place where not only the impurties of our own society are brought gogether and made manifest, as active elements of ‘evil, but is also the central deposit for the at issues of other countries.

The Croton water will be brought to the city in July next, and will so radically change the fire scrvice that an entire re- organization of the Fire Departmcat will be neces- sary. ‘The fire duty will then be comparatively light.

We ought not to omit this opportunity to introduce great refo: and to substitute a bedy of paid Sisenen for thes whose valuable gratuitous services have been ac- companied with so many evils. °, The plan of the Committee seeks to inere: largely the magisterial force of the city, mak: the Criminal Courts much more convenientl: sible, and to unite in one body of mer functions of firemen, watchmen and These are to be picked men, of kind and good character, selected, as faras may be, from the present watchmen and firemen. They are to spend their whole time in the prevention and ex tinction of fire: id the prevention and puni: ment of offences against the laws of the State and the ordinances of the city, and they are to be paid from the city treasury. They have the two most powerful excitements to the vigilant and meritori- ous discharge of their duty in the constant prospect of promotion and increase of pay, and for extraordi- sary service extraordinary compensation. They are to rendezvous at twelve station -houses in #o many districts of the city, which station houses are to Le court-houses, watch-houses, look-out sta- f gine houses, and keepers’ dweilings and lodg Battotors, Mareh 23, 1842. Curreney— Notes —Banks—Resumption—Slavery, §-c. Dear Besnerr:— to you, the affairs of our city at which a change must cer- tainly be wrought. Public opinion is growing more and more averse to this system of banking which is now carried on to such an alarming ex- and which serves as a powerful engine in the of a chosen few to trample down and totally disregard the rights and subvert the interests of the far greater and more useful pertion of our citi- zens. The situation in which we now placed is traly deplorable, and cries aloud for amelioration and relief The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad notes, based, as you know, upon the credit of the whole are now so depreciated, through the se- eret and underhanded machinations of brokers and shavers, as to subvert entirely the object for which they were first issued—which was to serve medium of circulation during the time the bai permitted to remain in a state of 20 to relieve the people from the den of increased taxation.

Fires will be less ft nt from the greater num a of liquidation the better for the welfare and pros- perity of us all, both individually and colleciively. Last evening Dr. Breckenridge delivered a lee- ture in his chureh, touchiog the‘propriet: the passage of a bill, now pending before the la- ture, for the better protection of the slave interest of Maryland. That the Doctor is a man of talent and extensive reading will not, I am sure, be ques- tioned ; but that all his movements and sayings be- speak an evident want of sound judgment, more de- liberation, and lees precipitancy, is equally cer: tain. it candidly acknowle I was greatly , for he handles the subject very poor- i vanced is not caleu. of those ‘eline. 1 thi it would not tend to the doctoi isadvantage to have as little to say as possible on such a subject for the fu ime heir skill and resour and familiarity with t ve o’D—— will “ rtly be led to thealtar by M: formerly | nagement, and their ambition exerted by the hoy aber of Cavaters from this city.

The watchman armed with his ¢lub, i lantern at his belt, usually dark, but ready, as oc- casion may require, to throw its light into dark places and areas, and upon the faces of night prewlers—with watch-houses near, and magis- trates at hand—it cannot be doubted that the effi- jiency of the watch would be ten fold what it now joundaries of e n districts, once in three years, and oftener, if necessary, and ta appoint the time aud place for holding the election in each disiriet.

The presence of the Magistrates and Peliceinen, inall their capacities—constantly on the look out for offenders, will prevent first offences; many a one will be hindered from taking that first step in the downward pait of crime whieh impunity soon changes into the hurried and accelerated rush to ruin that too often eloses the career of unpunished first offenders. How many families would be saved from ruin—how many young men kept in honest course—how mach pilfering, embezzlement and theft would be prevented if the haunts of vice were visited by policemen, at all hours of the day | and night, and the names of tnose who frequent them noted, taken to their employers or their pa- communicated to the police magistrates as us persona, and compelled, by giving evi- inst each other, to publish their own low often old offenders will be compel- te and wait for better chances and surer prospect of impunity when the law shall not beat hand.

It is only the certainty ef detection and the uncertainty of the time, and place, and manner that the minister of the law shall ~~, his hand upon the guilty—the knowledge that Judges are constantly in session in every part of the city inquiring into suspected of- fences,collecting testimony which shall overwhelm those who fancy themselves most secure; that there are officers, without number, who are always onthe trail of erime but constantiy and noiselessly fel- lowing the footsteps of the criminally dispo:ed Newark, [Correspondence of the Herald.] Newark, Ohio, Feb. 28, 1842, Great Temperance Jubilee—Passage of the General Bankrupt Law in the Ohio Legislature—A Rat- tling Among the Dry Bones of Certain Banks— Three Candidates for Governor in the Field— The Banks Ahead of the Resumption Bill—Operation of the Bankrupt Law, §c. Since my letter of February 14, the friends of temperance in the county of Licking, of which this city is the seat of justice, celebrated th ¢. cess they have met with in the excellent cause in whieh they are engaged, by.one of the most enthu- siastic jubilees [ ever beheld.

Could it be possible that crime eould be so rife in the city, if when crime was committed, every haunt of vice in the city would be visited and every ferry or steamboat watched by an officer of the law almost simultaneously, and in less than an hour after the crime was known?
