DesTITUTION IN NEW YORK.

Durtso all these sectional and political troubles that have existed less or more throughout the year, and increased es- pecially since the sixth of Inst November, certain partisan aheets have made anything like destitution exists aroynd us. Though we see and bear of thousands of idle hands aud empty or half-empty workshops—meo begging who never yielded to do so before, and charities of every nature anxiously active to relieve so much of the distress their means can reaeh, we are met with the “Statisties of Saving Banks,” and the assertion that “ we are a rich people.” A poor way, indeed, of proving the ab- sence of the preseat terrible amount of poverty and starvation, There is, without doubt, wealth ia the country, but it does not belong to the tens of thousands that are starviog, any more than are the accumulations in the Saving Banks the property of those who roam about the streets, glad to lose sight. even fur a few hours, of the misery at home. But beyond the present distress osused by the convulsed state of the land, poverty has been for many years on the increase throughout the length and breadth of the States. Gradually, work for the iudastrious has become Jess certain to find ; labor, by heedless ewigration, bas ingreased ; aud wages consequently become dispressel, bringing on just exactly such @ state of things, comprising ilieness, pauperism, crime, destitution, as the world was tausut to believe only could exist among the worn-out old cova'ries of Europe.

In the United States of Amcrica, everything as yet looks black and ominous, though we sometimes think we have a gleam of suusbine through the clouds, and yet anticipate an amicable ce-construction uf the Union—if we can admit that the Union is nat dissevered. The Union men of the South are likely to have something soun to say, aud it in believed by many that certain Soythero statesmen, now controlling matters in the now Coufederation, are as auxious for Union a6 soy one, and are taking advautage of their elevated posi- tion to briag this distraction to a closs.

An Incextovs way or Desrrovino a Crocopite.—When the Brittsh had a detachment of soldiers and some artillery on the banks of the mouth of the river Lodus, in the Kast Lndies, a large crocodile carried off twy or three natives, one of them being a wowan. Its skin was so thick that no bail penetrated it, so some artillery offivers formed a plan for des- troyingit. They killed a sheep, and in its body placed a bag filled with gunpowder and some other combustible matter, to which a long wire was attached with powder at the end. Presently the erocodile siw the prey and seized it, and took toahole waich be was known to frequent. Time was al- lowed him to swallow the sheep, when the wire was pulled ; the water then became violently ayitated!—a loud report was heard, and up came the crocodile dead, and his stomach blown open.
