From a late number of the Now York Times we learn that there were one hundred homi cidei committed in tho city u! New York, dur ing tho year and that during Ihu same period thero had been probably four hundred attempts to take life. The nunc paper com plains bitterly of the immunity of orimo and tlur almost impoaiiliility of procuring n convic tion. New York possesses at'unrding to pnpu latinn probably mora of the elements of crime than any city of the United States, or it may be of tlio world. On this account it h likely that the reinarlii of the Timet are not oifually applicable to other part! of tin United States. But it has been apparent for yean to every ob serving mind, that throughout tho United Statei tho moral tone of tho community in re lation to orimitmli ami their punishment has been steadily on the decline. This ii a bad symptom for any people to exhibit, particularly one upon whom is devolved the high and re sponsible task of self government.

Whenever such a member of tho community ii not quickly lopped off from Iho body politic by tho sharp sword of juitioe, it remains as a festering, poisoning cancer and gangrene, con taminating ami corrupting all the parts within iti reaoh nr touch. Unlesi a person guilty of crime ii under the ban of the neighborhood on some other account, it is almost impossible to convict him of any lerioui offense. Let a hitherto respectable person commit murder, theft ur robbery, nnd it is ten to one that he will neither hang nor be imprisoned. Particu larly ii this the case when, as is quite probable, the accused ii a member of some popular and powerful iiicial order, political party, or church. The party or sect to which he belongs are too prone to forget that their fuit duty ii lo society, and think only of their own organization and the scandal that may come upon it by the con viclion of 0110 of their fellows. Under these mistaken and partisan notions of duty, they too often muster around the criminal and chuk up the avenues lu tlio halls of justice, until 110 sound lave their own special and inphistical clamor for acquititl oau be beard 011 the trial, Every where and in every way, publio opinion and virtue ii tampered with, browbeaten aud cajoled, until truth and justice aro overawed nr ilenc.d, and falsehood, prejudice or partisan sympathy permeate; tho very air nf the court room, nnd darkens the minds and pervert! tho natural instincts of roepectuble courti and jur tel. In thi! way, at the end of a tediooi and costly proceeding, which it were a perversion of language to call by any oilier name than farce, tho respectable criminal is found by hii peen " not guilty," and told lo go hii wny iu peace, lo sit in convention, te preach, to vote, to hold office, to lecture, to write for tho pren, or plead at the bar, aud irr a thousand wayi polute and corrupt tho current of public mor al! and opinion with hia uuexpiatcd guilt aud impurities. The verdict of " not gttilly " ii an untruthful and artificial result which nobody believes ex oept iii a legal seme, produced by the free uso uf such means as we have described. It is nut the fault of the law, but of the administrator of it. But primarily thoTanlt ii with the people in Iho Inck of henlll.y. wholesome aoniiiu.nt up... this iuI ject, which wuuld ri juice at tho punish ment of tho wicked, and point tho finger of scorn at any attempt to procure the acquittal of tiie guilty, however respectable or with whom connected or associated. A forcible illustration of tho iad' itato of publio moral! on this .object, is seen in the trial for larceny which lately occurred in Port land. The prisoner was a minister of a cliria- tian church, and hitherto considered respecta ble. The theft (nnd indeed ninny others) was admitted by the defense.
