party of gentlemen addicted to
_play, consisting of Mr.
M'Cblery, C. 8., Car. Derry, 3rd Dragoons, Licata. Bayley,
9th L.C., and Oakes, Bth N.L, baring met at Simla on the 10th
July, wets on this and the two following eveninp en-
gaged at cards, when it wu found that the code were
masked: it nosed on inquiry that the marking arose from
ermident, and no mon was at the time said about it. The
two gentlemen last named were kept i3norant of the sala-
am or detection of the marks, as well as of the inquiry
fowling them. Oa the 13th, lith, 16th, and 16th the play
nu- continued by the IMMO parties, when Mr. Draper having
last 1004 on a single mate&, In addition to other previous
hems of large amount, made Mr. Oakes aware of the marks,
and on this ground refused to meet hie liabilitiee. The
gentlemen who had been kept in the dark very naturally
expressed the utmost helloed= at the circumstance. Mr.
M'Chlery was accused by Mr. Draper; an Inquiry was
immediately instituted, when the latter gentlemen with-
drew his accusation spinet the fanner, who was pronounced
free from blame. The committee consisted of two=
deg sad military *Seem : eighteen were agreed In

vestigation was pressed for by Mr. M'Colary. A Out of
inquiry mumbled by order of the commander iniffisk ea
the 17th August, and continued its *Maw to the 23rd Sep-
tember. The pan was unanimous in its opinion that the
cards were marked, not accidentally, but for the purpose of
swindling ; the statements of Captain Oavry end Lieutenant
Groper were both *pondered unsatisfactory; the latter,
however, bad on.nostionably connived with Mr. M'Obler;
to conceal from Lieutenant Oakes and Bayley the dilate-
very of the marking of the cards, though they continued to
play with them fit large sums of gooney. Betwixt Mr.

Mood their trial and been &Knitted, the civilian of course
stood condemned, and mast have awaited his trial from the
proper quarter. While then is much diversity of opinion on
the guilt of the parties, the public voice is unanimous in
condemnation of 81r C. Napier.
The following is the order of Sir Charles :
"Hfouodaurters, Simla, Ilth Oa, 1850.—Remarks on
the p M a mart of inquiry held by my order at
Sink, from tT e 17th August last to the 23rd alt., at the
request of Mr. til•Chlety, of the Hon. Company's civil service:
Then proceedings have been instituted at the request of
Mr. M'Chlery. It is my opinion that he would have better
consulted his own respectability had he not forced this le*
quirt'. Neither Capt. Derry's nor Lieut. Draper's state-
aunts appeer to me satisfactory. Captain Ouvry is gee*,
so I shall make no comment op= his statement. Lieute-
nant Draper appears to hays joined Mr. M'Chlery if
concealing from Lieutenants Oakes and Bayley that
marks had teen made on the cards with which they
ill four had played brag, and of shish hot the
two former gentlemen had become aware. Now,
if the cuds were designedly marked for the pur-
pose of cheating, and the court of ieiquiry hes pronounced
its unqualified and &cid d opinion that they were so lurked,
it seems clear that one of the -• four gentlemen must have
been the man who committed this act. It then became the
duty of hr. M`Chlery and Lieut. Draper to bare at once
declared the fact to the other gentlemen, and to have broken
of all play with cub °the., till an inquiry should *epos the
cheat, and thereby clear ths characters of the other three.
This straightforward nuns wee not followed by Mr. M'Chlery
and Lieutenant Draper ; they ilhf -led their discovery that
the cards were marked. The rcult 'l, that when the fest be •
came publ'e, and it w • biller' d that one o: four players mast
here done the deed, it e'so time out that two of these players
had conceal, d the amine' tun fromthe other two, and, more-
over, that the two who concealed the marking of the cards,
having this fact in their possess:e t, at down to play together
against the other two! This was wrong. There is nu
proof silend by the cont. which of th• -a four players
marked the cards; but it appears that while Mr. M'Chlery
and Lieutenant Draper imprudently i onscslcd 'his dream-
steam, Lieutenants Bayley and Oetes, when they learnt the
fact, instantly and honourably called for public inquiry, that
the cheat might, if possible, be discovered, and their own
characters be cleared isms suspicion. One circumstance
alone prevents my ordering the thin officers before
a genera' court-martial, for divots dimes of the
general orders issued riainat gon!iling by my prods-
OCISOIJ, Lords Dothan** tad Gough, deed the 16th
August 1831, and 25th June 1815. Tb's circumsnoce is,
that I have no power to take any notice of Mr. M'Cblery'e
conduct. He n not amenable to the orders of the tom-
mander-in-cLieL Therefore, not col:midge:on Lieutenant
Bayley to be a gambler, I nu only regret his having been so
imprudent as to Join those who appear t r be so; but I repri-
mand Li_utitaant Oakes sod Lieutenant Draper for their
direct a premeditated breach of discipline, and I desire
that no *Jolene, whatever be granted to either of these
gentlemen by their respective commanding officers, while
remain in command of this army.

Arrangements have been made at Lahore, under the
auspice, of Sir 11. Lawrence, for providing occupation and
amusement for the European troops. The soldier's gardens
lest year brought into sentence, hays been improved and
extended—so bathe Money and reading-rooms. Workshop
formerly provided, are being fitted with all sorts of toile,
to enable tradesmen to work, either for their own amuse-
ment or rear-it/I. Implements for the playing of cricket,
battledore, and shuttle cock' rackets, archery, and other sports,
have been provided, coffee and tea are sunplicd in the
gardens and rooms a third under prime eel. The sr:allot-
ment is nut mote benevolent than wise; a soldier's lite in
the field is one of incessant sad extreme excitement; and
If we fail to meet the idleness and howitude of the canton-
ment by occupation or amusement, we may depend
on unlimited crops of insubordiaation and crime. The
result is inevitable, It obtains equally smonget
officers and men; hem our duels, gambling, banknote,
and eeductions amongst the former—our murders, drunken-
ness, and basubordenatnin amongst the latter. Men most be
employed; if we give them nothing good or innocent to
perform, the devil w.ll put mischief in their hands. Ar,
rangemenes have been made, at the suggestion of Sir C.
Napier, for the admission of OffiCen into the Quern's and
Cenapaisy's services to the &mace College, Bengal, for the
Cr=of studying eoginsering sod autveying ; and it is to
that the principle will be extended, and officers at
ell the presidencies be encouraged to extend the very scanty
suture of attainments with which they left home, at the
various highly efficient European seminaries throughout
India.
