Mr.. GREEN, THE REFORMED GAMBLKR-VIsrr TO
NEw YoRK-We were yesterday invited to visit
this gentleman, to witness private display of the
mode which gamblers adopt in fleeing their vic
Tins, to which the editors of the principal papers
In the city were invited, as well as different
ministers Of various denominations, together
with the Mayor and other members of
the corporation. He certainly gave strong
evidence OF being well acquainted with all the
tricks usually resorted to by this class of per.
sons, as well as to display the marks made use of
by the manufacturers Of playing cards, which he
said were upwards Of 1000 in number, and that no
cards were made without them. To test the mat
ter fay,parties present broughpacks Of cards with
them, which upon being submitted 10 him, he
immediately, upon looking at their backs, selected
from them the principal leading cards in most of
the games played. He then showed various other
packs of cards, which he said were. manufactured
for the express purpose of playing certain games
with, such as brag, poker, faro, &c /, and showed
how person acquainted with such cards, and the
marks usually made use Of by the makerp,
had upwards of 100 per cent the advantage
over his opponent, no matter hew skillful he
might be as card player. He thea proceeded to
show the various mannuvres restorted TO in shut.
| were
certainly very astonishing, and surprised every one
present, among whom were some who evidently
thought they knew more of the tricks by cards
than their neighbors. The display certainly went to
show that no such thing as fair game of cards
could be played by any one at all acquainted with
the marks made use of by the makers, which Mr..
Green contended most gamblers did, and that it
was quite impossible for persons to win who were
not so, in which opinion, from the evidence this
gentleman brought forward, the company present
appeared quite to coincide in. The display and ex-
planation occupied upwards Of two hours This
gentleman is about to give course Of lectures on
the subject in this city, and certainly the making
known Of these facts must have tendency to d.
minish gambling. His object in so doing is to get
established in this city, an anti-gambling society,
similar to those he has been the cause of forming
in Cincinnati and Louisville.
The DoINas OF CHARLATANIsM.-We have OBJ
served within the last week or two, reports Of seve-
raj cases Of death, from the malpractice of indl-
| viduals protesting to be physicians. The numbers
thus hurried of the stage of existence in this coun-
try, are very great. How can it be otherwise, when
our sapienl legislators place the uneducated quack
on precisely the same equality, in the eye of the
law, with the educated physician Medical edu.
cation too, is mseraby defective, the time Of study
too brief, and the examination for degrees a mere
farce. II any association Of influential physicians
would start into existence and fight resolutey on till
they secured comprehensive medical reform, they
would do the State more service than all the politi-
cal conventions that ever assembled. By the way,
how does the grand, novel and original experiment
of the Natives, in the OF the present City In
spector progress? Can any one tell us how il
works
