BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENTS.
BALTIMORE, February 80 p

others. For the present, however, allow me to

close application, these young gentlemen have
already risen to fortune, with prospects before

are nephews of Col. Isaac Munroe, formerly

DEscENT ON RONDo ROOMS.

Last night about 10 o'clock the new
chief Of the police, Capt. Hoke, detailed
posse of policemen at the upper watch
houses stus ted on Fifth street, between
Main and Sycamore streets. After pro-
curing warrants from the Mayor for the
accomplishment of his object, and arrang-
ing his plans for the attack and success
full arrest of all concerned, he instructed
Lieut.. s Phillips and Trainer, in charge
of seven policemen, to enter the faro room,
situated over the Grey Eagle livery stable,
Lieut.. Galligner and seven policemen to
enter the keno room, and he 1.-THE captain
and his seven men would enter the rondo
room in the rear of the stable. The plans
thus concerted, the parties proceeded at
once to Fifth street, and made the attack
as ordered.
When the police entered confusion en-
sued, and many in the room attempted to
escape through the doors and windows,
but were prevented and arrested. The
following, we understand, are among
those who were caught in different rooms !:
Jos. Bolser, James W. Kelly, Adam
Long, Jas. Frazier, Moses Parmeel, Jos.
Rose, James Kelpar, Thomas Travello,
Charles May, VIM. Armstrong, William
Moore, John Fields, John R. Belts, Thos.
Mundy, Joseph Dumas, Mont Carnes, E.
c. Fisk, Samuel Lee, Frank Edwards,
Bernard Clark, George Moore, j. D.
Kelpin, and Thomas Ricketts,. These
were arrested and taken to the watch
house.
Captain Hoke obtained the names of a
number of persons who were standing
round, looking on those were subpened
as witnesses. The police also took pos
session of all the gambling apparatus,
which consisted of a mahogany box, cal
led a game keeper for faro bank, box
for the keeping of checks for faro bank,
cloth for rondo table, card case for a
faro bank, about one hundred large cards
for demo, rondo balls, sweat cloth, keno
box, &C., &c. These were all taken to
the watchhouse. After placing the pris-
oners in the watchhouse, the police re-
turned and took possession of all the ia
bles, books, &C., used in these gambling
rooms. The warrant affirms that James
Calpin and Charles May were the pro-
prietors of these rooms, neither of whom
were arrested. The examination will
probably take place this morning in the
police court.
