GAMBLING-A TRIP TO THE TREAD MILL.

On Saturday morning there was another exhiliitioa of an
Noxious group, whose counien•nces betrayed all the horrors
of am anticipated trip to the Tread Mill. Mr. Ntioskall's
determination to treat all persons who may be convicted be-
fore him of unlawful gaming, as rogues ■nd vagabonds,
under the provisions of the new Vagrant Act, baa been aut.
ficientiv disseminated, and hence the apprehensions of the
Primmer' on the present occasion were nut without founda-
tion. Hitherto the attempts which have bera made to sup,
press the destructive system of gambling at the west end of
town have bren without success ; but in the present iostauce
the evidence was of so conclusive • nature that fuer of the
offenders were actually sentenced to take Or and exercise
fur one month in the House of Correction, wider the friendly
auspices of the Governor of that prison, and perhaps this
example may be attended with more advantageous resells.
Soon after 'levee Sir Richard Hirai', Mr. Halls, and Mr.
Minshull, look their seats os the bench, sad were shortly
afterwards attended by Mr. Alley, who appeared peoks-
sionally us the part of the Defendants, who were thea celled
