The New York Sunday Times, abiding
to the charges going ON in the Custom
House in that city, says:
1.-The game of 'puss in corner which
the Wing incumbents in the Custom
House have so long been playing with
the Democratic expectants, is at last de-
cided. and the latter are rapidly taking
possession of the corners, to the exclusion
of their rivals for at least four years. As
the weather is too warm for the safe in
diligence of the stronger passions, we
earnestly recommend the outs to modify
their. despair, and the ms to be tempe
rate in their glee. If there be any gen
tleman among the 'unterriied' who has
sought and obtained an entry-clerkship,
inspectorshp, guagership, or any other
ship between the grade of deputy collec-
tor and that of night watch, surprising
the same to be sinecure, he will speedily
be disabused Of his error. The work is
really arduous, and the pay light, con-
sidering the nature of the duties to be
performed. This being the case, we have
never been able to understand why men
of abilities-practieal business men,
should be anxious to obtain subordinate
offices in the Custom House" 81

We quote All extraordinary passage
from Lord John Russell's recently pub
hShed g Memoirs ofFox:"
in 1772 Fox was desperate gambler.
Admired the manner of the day. As the
gaming and extravaganza of young men
of quality had now arrived at pitch
never heard of, it is worth while to give
some account of it They had a club at
Almack' S in Pail Mall, where they PLAYED
only for rontem.s of fifty pounds each, and
generally there was ten thousand pounds
in specie on the table Lord Holland had
paid over twenty thousand for his two
sons. Nor were the manners of the
gamesters, or even their dresses for play,
undeserving notice. They began by pull
ing off their embroidered clothes and put
on frieze great coats, or turned their coats
inside outwards for luck They put on
pieces of leather (such as are worn by
footmen when they clean their knives) to
save their laced ruffies and to guard their
eyes from the hight, and to prevent tum-
bling their hair, wore high crowned straw
hats, with broad brims, adorned with
flowers and ribbons masks to conceal
their emotions when they played at
'quinze. , They borrowed great sums of
Jews, at exorbitant premiums. Charles
Fox called his outward room when those
Sews waited till he rose, his Jerusalem
Chamber" =
