MORALITY IN MoNrREAL.-The arrest of young
Ready, recently, in this city, and his return to
Montreal, have led to certain disclosures which
rank Montreal as low in the scale OF morality as
Paris or London. 1t appears that there are in that
city several gambling houses, or hells, supported by
the officers of the army and some high officials
even the Aides de Camp to the Governor General OF
Canada-and It was in one of these aborninabe
places that Ready was relieved of the money he
distracted from the Montreal Bank This is one
OF the evils attendant upon having standing armies
Here we have proof Of these fellows, with their
moustaches and red coats, parading the streets
as gentlemen, associating together in these abo-
minabe dens, and fleeing each other Of all they
possess. Having exhausted each others resources,
they then entice innocent young men into their
gambling holes, and relieve them of their own and
their employers money And these official black
legs are gentlemen. fosooth What a glorious
thing it Is that we have no such fungi growing on
our body polite,
