Mr. Editor:—Will you inform me through your columns, whether that part of the city bounded by Hudson, Varick, Charlton and King streets have been by any act of the city authorities thrown out of the jurisdiction of those functionaries, as I cannot think it possible that such scenes as are witnessed in that section, both by day and night, would be tolerated in these days of reform, did they (that is the city fathers,) consider that as a part of their premises. By giving this a place in your valuable paper, you will confer an everlasting favor on the decent portion of the inhabitants of that place, and particularly your sincere friend.
King Street.
