a Good Haui-Preparations have been making
Tor some time past, by those assiduous officers
high constables M'Lean and Blaney, conjunc-
ton with their trusty body rd the members of
the Police to attack and capture pair of notori
Gus gambling houses, which they have long had
in their 'minds cye;" one situated in Front street
Jews doors below Spruce, and the other in Eighth
at the corner of an alley below Walnut Having
matured their plans of surprise, and every thing in
readiness, they got possession of the avenues lead
ing to the sanctum of the establishment in Front
street, managed by James Gardiner and Charles
stiles and ere the trade were apprzcd of the in
tended attack, the room filled with host of
the ''gcndarmes" in full costume.
The surprise, it is but natural to suppose, was
better felt than described, by those practising lin
fancied security at the roulettes, sweat cloths
&C: with which the room abounded. The Police
took possession of every portable article that
came to view, consisting of the entire apparatus,
tables, wheels, checks, and a considerable amount
OF current coin, and walked to the mayors Office
with between twenty and thirty prisoners They
were heavily fined, and the keepers bound to the
mayors court in the sum of SIX hundred dollars
each.
The house in Eighth-street, kept by Philip Ruth
q 20. was taken possession of the same way, and
shared the fate of the former.-PhH. Chrsn.

The REFORM Bill has escaped from its first
great danger in the House of Lords, IA very mar
row escape, however, having been ordered to q
second reading by ma ority of only nine votes
out of 359,) but greater danger still remains and
one which, in all probability, will prove insurmount
abe unless resort is had to the creation of Peers
According to the Liverpool Times, Ministers will
go into Committee, where proxies cannot he used
with 1913 supporters; the opposition with 126; and
as all their opponents stanch, and of one mind
whilst number of their friends cannot be relied
on, they will ultimately be compelled to create
new Peers. There can be no doubt, however that
they prepared to do this, if necessary.
From tie liverpool Courier
After the passing of the second reading of the
doubt be entertained but that it must UNDERGO
those notifications which will alter its 100 demo.
cratic tendency. 1t is now a curious inquiry how,
far the Earl Of narrowly and Lord WharncliFe
have agreed with the Ministry to these modj6.
cations. That an understanding exists; that the
final plan made matter Of negotiation, cannot
be doubted; and to this arrangement the majority
is owing. From the tenor of Lord Grcy's speech.
cs, no conclusion, very favourable, can be drawn
GID qualification; but 6rm tone may have been
maintained this subject by his lordshp that the
secret compromise might be cover ed: and because
the understanding doubt is that if this clause
Is to be altered it is to be carried against the seem
ing opposition Of Ministers.

Flying Dutchman
Black Maria
Jane Grey

Black Maria was the favor,e and so confident
were the "knowing ones" of her success that not
only was three TO freely offered upon her a.
gainst the field but we know of two bets having
been offered and taken of one hundred to twenty
and one hundred to ten At the start the Flyipr
Dutchman took the lead, and was hard pressed by
the colt until the first half of the fourth mile when
Black Maria shot ahead of him. This put the Fly
ing Dutchman to his mcttlc, and he won the first
heat In hne style to the establishment and dismay
OF many OF the hackers OF Black Maria. Such
was the confidence in this favorite fily that bets
continued to be freely offered of two TO one that
she would take the purse!
AT the second heat the groy horse took the lead
and kept 1T for the first two miles, being ha rd press
ed by the Flying Dutchman-Black Maria far in the
rear AT the commencement Of the third mile the
Flying Dutchman again took the lead and WON
the second heat rs he had the first in good STYLE
Black Maria merely saved Tier distance. 1t is said
that she was laboring under severe cold and debi
ty produced by it, and that she could not be made
to take the bit or bear the spur whip In the last
three miles of the second heat the only aim of the
rider was to save her distance.
The sport was much finer than was Anticipated
owing to the strong conviction that Black Maria
would win the purses without an effort. Time of
the first heat, eight minutes and five seconds
of the second. heat, eight minutes and nine Sc
conds.
p. S. Weunderstand that Black Maria came in
quite lame, having suffered much injury in the first
mile of the second heat.

Horrid Murdcr.-The Milton N. c. Spectator saws:
On Friday evening last, Mr.. Sidney Merritt, who
lives about mile from this place. came into town
conducting negro wcman by the name of AMY,
the property of Stephen Dodson, Esq (for whom
he is the overseer) charging her with having muir
dered in most shocking manner an infant son
and only child of his, aged about two years. The
child was found dead, with it's hoad cut OPEN and
an axe lying near it. On the way she confessed
the commission of the murder, and on being inter
rogatod as to the cause, stated that the evil had
persuaded her to kill it," She has been lodged in
jail and will have her trial during our Superior
Court now sitting.

BY the schooner Tampico, arrived last evening
from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed ON the 9Th inst.
adviccs have been received that tho Government
troops were bombarding Vera Cruz. During the
time, an advanced post of the Government troops
OF about 200 men assaulted, in u sorte, by the
troops of St. Anna, and driven back or forced TO
retreat. This latter circumstance has been mag
niiied into victory-but think St. Annals pros
poets are dull enough Gen. st. Anna had sent
brig and schooner to Tampico for troops, which
returned without being able to obtain any.
