Gambiiny.-A communication Appeared &
the New York Journal of Commerce some r,
since. in regard to gambling houses in that cty
which aroused the approximations Of the b'aCG
leg fraternity TO such degree. that they threat
ened vengeance upon the editors, in case liz
communications were continued. The rgIt
tude Of these "hcls" in New York has o.
been subject Of remark, and now and t,ea ]
case has occurred that produced no little sens
ton in the community. The most renark,b,
was that Of Mr.. Crane. Sec rotary Of the Nj
tional Insurance Company. Ia less than tT
years he squandered his own private foran
and defrauded the company out Of abou, to.
hundred thousand dollars, nearly all Of VINO
was lost at the gaming table. When he b1H
that he could no longer escape detection, d
made his arrangements to ay to Europe, but Il
able to tear himself from the enchanted us
until he had made one desperate effort to re,ts
his losses, he was stripped Of every shilling, At
committed suicide the next day, rather than ~
vi,e his disgrace.
The circumstances Of the ruin Of another y@r
man, the agent an opuIent mercantile hor~
Bremen, were fully detailed by himself to W.
Recorder Rker, on his appIi, alton for the bend
Of the insolvent law. In the short period 4.
three or four months. he gambIed away abH
ninety thousand dollars. and would 40 d@Tl
have carried on bis operations to much great
amount. had he no. been suspected and arrs't.
IN the midst Of his mad Career. lie confess
that he had been in the habit Of visiting the gAn
bling table. never losing less than B 500 or Ssp
night, and sometimes turning coppers for s..
or 800 each time. Other instances OF the M~
melancholy character might be adduced, to 3d.
the star Ing consequences which flow fromlts
diligence Of this deOasing propensity.
