Account of Hagoao. city, the nop. ulation of which IS so mixed, the habiffs of the lower classes so demoralised, among whom gambling, andits coneomitant drnns- enness, IS so pfeYalent--in a city where there IS no police, no wonder that robberies and assassinations. are of almost daily oc- currenee. Some time ago no fewer than ent parts of the city, in one day. st5pi, StBppia are robbed in open day, in the following manner. Two villains come on each side of a pedestrian, displaying long knives un- der their arms, while third deliberately takes out his watch, purse, gold shirt but ton, Sgc. and whispers that if the least noise is made, the siaifo ill lo is office; ;.,.,; though the plundered individual may after- wards recognize the robbers, he is afraid 10 give evidence against them, and must just put up with his loss.

 When the least seu6le takes place in the streets, all doors and windows are hastily closed in the neigborhood--th inmates of the houses are SC much afraid of being called upon to give evidence i'll case of' a murder. fine bodies of inc Inur- dered are exposed for day in the street, behind the jail, in order that their relatives may claim them.

This was Galllcan shop-keeper, who had been mur- dered ill his own store two or three hours before.

 All took place within a few rods of the cnstom-house guard, with perfect impunity to the urdeFers.-.9lesasdes's Taaasat- tanfic Sketches.
