The police of the Third and Fourth wards, according to instructions received from his Honor the Mayor, suc- ceeded, on Wednesday night, in capturing & numbes of Prostitutes, who were caught walking the streets of their district. The Third ward police, under command of Captain Hopkins, arrested twenty-five females—wo- men and girls, Most of these'prisoners were frequenters of some of the worst dance houses in Washington and Greenwich streets. Captain Mitchell, of the Fourth ward police, assisted by a squad of his men, arrested eight prostitutes of a very low charaeter, frequenting Water and Cherry streets. Justice Bogart, before whom the prisoners were conveyed, considering that no iegi- timate evidence had been adduced against the Third ward girls, except in the case ot two of the prisoners, discharged them from custcdy. The unlucky two were sent to the Island for three months. All those arrested in the Fourth ward were sent to the Penitentiary for varying from one to six montns, their charac- ters being notoriously bad.

Some awkward mistakes were made by the police night in arresting those whom they sup! to’be nymphs of the pave. One or two little sewing girls were brought to station house by Third Ward ews where they remonstrated loud/y against the con- uct of the stars, asserting their characters to be good and ble. But of course the officer in ¢ the station house could not entertain any idea of rating them ae their mere word, so they were obliged to remain in “‘durance vile’’ all night. WHAT IS THE LAW RELATIVE TO VA- GRANOY? District Atrorxxy’s Orrice, Feb. 20, 1855. My Drax Sm—To your commudication touching the statutes upon vagrancy I have the honor to make answer, that. as has recently been remarked by a learned Justice of the Common Pleas (Hon. P. P. Ingra- ham) in a decision tendered upon_a vagrancy proceed- ing brought before him by habeas corpus, the general statutes of the State relating to vagrants seem confused and conflicting in character. But in the city of New York there operates a lecal act which is often forgotten by magistrates and counsel in their reference simply to the Revised Statutes, It is” an an act entitled ‘An act relative to the powers of Common Council of toe City of New York, and the police and criminal courts o: the said city,’ passed Jan, 23, 1833, ave of that year, page 9) The first section follows: ‘All persons who being habitual drunkards, are desti- tute and without visible means of support, or who being such babitual drunkards, shall abandon, t, or refuse to aid im the support of their families, who may be complained of by such families all persons who shall bave contracted an infectious or other disease, in the practice of drunkenness or debauchery, requiring charitable aid to restore them to health; common prostitutes who have no lawful em; it whereby to maintain them- elves; all able or sturdy beggars who may apply for alms or solicit charity; all persons wandering abroad, lodging in watchhouses, outhouses, market places, sheds, stables, or uninhabited buildings, or in the open air, and not giving a good account of themselves; all wandering abroad and begging, or who go about i whe plied ap? or as a TE A pe waye; passages, or other ic or re ceive alts within this city, alall be deemed vagrants.” T have » \ivided each class by itself for convenience sake. The classes are five in number—one of drunkards one of the diseased, one of tutes, one of the kind ‘most ay vermed by weage “‘loafers,’” TEATS alin tae Ceaieiaees: poster rand of the needy beggar. The provisions re- garding inkards and the diseased and beggars are very clear and precise; those Cogeein Or prostitutes and idlers are sometimes technically criticised by the — the magistrates and various attorneys at law, often witl some plausibility. Most of these various provisions, to- gether with toove known in the language peculiar to the topic as “iady boarders,”’ as well as those who walk tno streets or jnbabit the attics and cellars of the metropoiin, in more democratic habilimenta and practices of vice, and the class of idlers, are controlled by the phrase ‘not giving a good account of themselves;’’ and thus there is given to authorities who arrest or commit, an extended discretion, which is no more heroes’ fe to exercise in acrowded metropolis. exi r to 1863 a confusion as w the proper place in which a record of conviction was to be fled—whetber in the office of the clerk of the city and county, or in that of the clerk of the neesions, or whether there should be one filed with each of these offices. In the hutter year (laws of 1863) a statute prepared by the present City Judge was enacted; thereby & {orm of record of conviction was substantially given, and the same directed to be filed with the clerk of the sessions. By that act a provision of discharge was made, allowing the same before expiration of term of commitment, upon ah order jointly made by the com mitting magistrave apd any almshouse governor, in their discretion (for the enumerated causes amount to this)—a very proper power indeed, because often the friend» of the vagrant interfere when disgrace to the fexoily exsumes the form of publicity, pro- vide for the vagrant’s future. ‘These are the only provisions arding vi ne} under that name) oe goat AY municipal action. Then disorder], y(2 R statute regard! “di ly persons’ (2 R. 3, 53, 4th edition) ie powine Lge meat! idle aad vicious persons for whose good vaviour during one year se- curity may be required; otherwise, in default thereof, « conviction and imprisonment ensue, subject to the con- trol of the Court of General Sessions and the Almshouse Governors, thereafter, in various ways, These additional classes comprehend men who abandon wives and children to public charity, fortune tellers, common prostitutes and keepers of bawdy houses, or houses of resort for drunkards, tipplers and gamesters; all com- mon jugglers or showmen; all keepers of keno and ing apparatus, in public places or in places where Liquor is sold; all travelling gamesters, &e., Suspected |. and suspected persons, may be themselves examined as the statutes indicate toucaing the allegations. Their conduct is rather « breach of the general police discipline of the eommunity than a crime or « misdemesnor; their own confessions are competent to conviction. The Mayor has express power to deal with vagrants and disorderly persons under the pro- visions referred to. As suggested by the remarks of your Honor in your communication, | beg leave to add that by pursuing the statutes relating to vi ote and per persons, more summary justice in to the community than can be attained through the tedious process indictment and trial. The felonies of the metropolis are sufficiently nui the time and attention 1 to constantly en- grand juries and the Dourt of General Sessions of the peace, without giving them more contact with the lighter offences and miste- meanors than {i+ absolutely necessary. Instead of in- dicting bawdy houses, unlicensed dram shops, &c , an is now done, their proprietors and inmates could be sum- marily reached as vagrants and diserderly persoas. The policy of penal law these matters is to attain a summary climax tantamount to prohibition.

MARcu 28.—Jm the matter of the People exrel, Ellen Devins against the Keeper of the City Prison and Peni- teutiary of the City and Caunty of New York.—In « sup- posed report of this cause, furnished us and inserted in Fedele paper, it was stated that the petitioner, by er counsel, contended that her arrest, trial and convic- tion were entirely illegal, and that the Recorder on these grounds forthwith diacbarged the prisoner. This wax entitely erroneous. There was no iment in the case, for the simple reason that the Recorder has no power to hear the merits on such a question, The matter, it is true, was brougbt up, but there being no record of the conviction ot the Prisoner faced, the Recorder on this i ground alone discharged prisoner.

A large number of delegates were present. The Prearpxxt having called up the special order of the evening, Mr. Wattacr Conx sald that, ata regular meeting of the Young Mem’s Democratic Union Olub, held Saturday evening, March 24th, 1855, it was unanimously resolved, that the delegates from this club, be and are hereby instructed to propose for the adoption of the Central Democratic Union such resolutions as may, in their judg. ment, seem most fitted to urge upon the government of the United States the national sentiment upon the subject of our relationships with Spain, and tend to a solution of the difficulties existing between us ina manner consonant with the cignity of this Tepublic, and the wishes of the American people.

Fourterites—Speeches, Ours readers will remember the accounts published in the Hxnap some two years sinse, relative to a certain extraordinary Fourierite community in New Jersey, known as the Nerth American Phalanx, where from eighty toa hundred persons, of both sexes, lived together ima sort of happy family arrangement, eating out of the same trough and living in the one cage. At the time the articles referrad to were published, the phalanx was progressing finely, its nancial concerns were pros- perous, and its fature prospects everything that could be desired. It was, moreover, regarded with great favor by the socialists throughout thecountry, as it was tho only organization they had started that seemed at all like- ly to aucesed. But since that time, owing doubtless to a vice inherent in the very nature of all socialistic esta- blishments, the phalanx bas got into a peck of trouble, ahd there is eve) reason now to believe that it will soon be numbered ameng the things that were. To prevent so terrible a catastrophe, the Fourierites have doter- mined te hold a series of meetings {n this city, the second of which came off last night at No. 656 Broad- way. During the evening, the speakers made very pointed allusions to certain well known nocialista in this city, who, they ssid, bad great faith in Fourierism, but who did not manifest it in works, im the shape ef hard cash, for the cause, When the meeting was called to order last night, there were about sevewty-five persons present, but the speak- era proved eo stupid that the audience soon thinned out, and at the close there were not more than a baker's dozen. In an adjoining room, a spiritual circle was being held, and the was much disturbed by the shoutings and other unspiritual demonstrations pro- cee ing therefrom, The meeting was opened by Mr. TArraw Townsxsp, who stated that he had been asked to lay a statement before the meeting. This movement was to devise ways and means to heip the North American phalanx in the seetting UBesi a With a view toa proper understand- ing of the matter, Mr. Sears, of the phalanx, would make ‘some remarks. The movement he (the speaker) consid- ered a success, and the practicability of families living veg 4 harmory in one unitary family was estab- . There was one way, it was thought, by which the pasockation Oana bec out of trouble; it was by buying goods by w! and giving phalanx stock in exchange. This would give them the means of making a Jarge establishment, and fulf) the original idea associationists, to have at least 2,000 persons in the o1 phalanx. Another iden was, that agents should go around the city and persuade persons conducting small trades and occupations, to live at the phalanx and do business there. Then, kL § nducing young farmers to join, no doubt quite # good sasociation could be formed, To forward these suggestions {t was pro; to have « permanent orgestastion in tila city ts help them along, and to forw: the cause of the exsociation generally. Mr. Cuas, Sxans, one of the officers of the was next introduced. He anid the Fhalgnx had never yet made a public statement, and the friends of the movement thought it advisable for them to now come forward aud do so. They felt, in or. | ganizing the fiat ealaaet they wore taking too many steps ahead of the of the age.

The competent, successful people seem generally unwil- ling to take the risk of change, and instead of such un- dertaking to come out and tute the changes so g byes and fairly within their capacity to Insti- ute, the tendency has been directly the reverse, and the malcontents, the feeble and incompetent, thors feeling the need perronally of a social providence, have gravi- tated toward the institutions that proposed any form of guaranty.
