We understand that General Gam:
bling Institulion is about TO be establishs
ed, with the asssts of the last batch Of
broken banks, " be under the control Of
Board 81 Directors, composed Of the
officers Of these exploded Institutions, ID
which the art and scienceof gamblingia ia
to be taught in all its varieties and upon
a scale Of the greatest magnifcence.T
Pupils win here be instr ucted how 10
swindle the community out Of large sumi,
varying from fifty thousand to two hunds
red and fifty thousand dollars---to pick the
pockets Of the working ciasA. asd ruin
hundreds of unsuspe citing small deaicre
and laborers Mt a dash--and net only 40
keep out Of the State Prison, but tos pre-.
serve their reputation and standing untar-
nished. 1t may be objected that there
is already sufficient amount of this sort
Of education extant; but we reply that
there can never be too much Of good
thing, and that the more bankrupts and
bahk ruptures there are, the more people
will be called upon TO "skin their eyes"
and thus the perceptiye faculties of the
community at large Will be strengthened
and developed. Besides, this may becal-
led strictly patriotic enterprise. Eng.
land as is we'll known, has long borne the
| palm of financial rascality throughout the
| world; but we believe the time is coming
! IF Al, 1uif al
! States in general, and Wall Street ia
particular, ymay assert q claim 10 be
placed on . footing with themost accom-
plished sw windler 10 Great Britain. tits
true that the magnitude of the operations
on tbs side of the water cannot as yet be
compared to the gigantic frauds Of our
royal neighbors; but II is believed that
The proposed General Gambling Institu.
ton, if properly carried out, will 60 far
to enlarge the views of our countrymen,
and enhance their powe to do evil. s,t
Tie General Gambling Institution will
be located in the pleasant and romantic
village of Plainfed, New Jersey in a
splendid building, which has been liber.
ally bequeathed for thatpurpose by are
tired fnancier of great celebrity, who
has left the state and never intends 10
return D it--if he can helpit. The gov,
ernors of several states, both Young and
j. old, have been already bribed in favor ol
!, the officers Of the new institution; aud
nothing can prevent its doing at once
splendid business, except the scarcity Of
, fools in the world--a thing not at all to
be dreaded. The independent and incor-
ruptibe editors Of the JOHN DONKEY have
been literally paid by the trustees OF the
new institution, and stand ready at a
moments warning to get up panic ofthe
most terrific description. BY these means
the notes of the General Gambling lnsti-
tuition can be bought up by its secret
agents at ten cents on the dollar, and re-
issued at az, III, moment the panic sub
sides. This, and an immense variety ot
, similar "fair busines transactions" can,
not fail Of realizing to the Stockholders
very handsome dividends, and enabling
them 10 short time to set all law anc
retribu,ion at defiance. Persons wishing
to invest money in the above safe and re-
liable inst iition may apply at the oyste
r cellar under the New York Sun Office
