Very serious danger will be incurred by those who iiegl»ct the warning, for unfortunately^ there are^ some most .atrocious ruffians at large m th« city just now^ An influx of criminals may, indeed, be looked for m connection with the Exhibition, and while pur' citizens shpuld adopt all possible precautions on their part, the Government should certainly afford increased police protection." ;,-. .
