CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor op the " Evening Mail." Sir— -I shall feel obliged if you will allow me space in your valuable columns to ask how often our police are to be seen in the vicinity of the Wood. I think out of the nurilber we have silrely one might be spared to walk the streets in that direction, where his services were greatly in need on Friday evening last, owing to a disgraceful scene in the north part of Grove-street, where the language used by a female and the sight exhibited were not fit for such a number of children as were present to listen and to witness. If such scenes as these are to be allowed in the public thoroughfare one need not be surpris( d at the amount of larrikinism displayed by our youths of the present age. I hope this may be the means of getting a little police snpervision in the diiectio i above mentioned, as it ii greatly in warn of it, not o lly on this occasion, but at other time?. I am, &c, Puace.
