\ New York cable message to the London Daily Telegraph says:—As the result of recent arrests for street begging in this city, the Police Department has discovered that mendicity is thoroughly organised by a syndicate. The mode of procedure was for the syndicate to select a company of cripples of sympathetic manners, and dress them up so as best to appeal to pity. Each day they were sent out on different fixed routes; and kept under systematic supervision. The profits, which are believed t) have been enormous, were divided every night among the members of the j syndicate, who devoted their leisure to the most extravagant pleasures. One of them, named Siebel, was arrested one,night at the Opera. He had driven up in evening dress, escorting a companion very fashionably attired, and wearing brilliant jewellery. They were proceeding to the most expensive seats when the police took him away. The majority of the gang are still at large. A OLEVEB BOBBEBY.
