Increase of Crime.

A secular paper speaks in the following strong terms upon this subject:

We need not go far to find indubitable proof of the fact that crime, in all its hideous varieties, is extensively and alarmingly prevalent. It is remarkable that the violations of law, both human and divine, have of late years assumed the most horrid forms. And it may be doubted whether the iniquities of Sodom and Gomorrah would bear a comparison with those of this country in these latter days.
