GAMBLERS AND THEIR FICTIXs.--Ths
minds of the faro bankers and fancy men of
New York are much exercised by the course
of Justice Kelly, of that city, in binding
them over to answer at Court for the offence
of maintaining gambling houses. A young
man, a Wall street note-breker, by the name
Of William Hurry, having obtained a promis-
sorry note, amounting to five thousand dol
lars, from firm of Pine street merchants, for
the purpose of negotiation, sold it andappro-
printed the proceeds to his own use. Near
ly the whole OF the FIVE Thousand dollars was
lost at faro banks, kept by some OF the most
notorious sporting" men ofNew York, who,
on this revelation being made, were arrest
ed, in order to enforce the recovery OF the
plunder. -..--..
We have given this brief abstract of the
facts in this case, inasmuch as similar incl
dents are occurring every week. Clerks in
stores, on small salaries, are led into diss!pa-
tions, and sometimes by the extravagant ha-
bits engenGered by entertaining strangers and
customers ut the request OF their employers.
When the busy season is over, the dlstaste for
home and it's innocent enjoyments becomes
intolerable, and extravagances OF all kinds,
are INDUCED in. .-...-..
To supply this lavish expenditure. resort
is had to the gaming table; and want of sue
cess, together with hope of retrieving loss
es, induces the unfortunate clerk to resort to
his employers money drawer, to falsify ac-
counts, to appropriate bills collected, to ne
gotiate improperly promissory notes Of 9TH
ers, or to forge bills and bonds.-Philadet-

The FRESH in the river from the heavy
rains Of the l:.tler half OF last week, was quite
strong yesterday. At2 o'clock p. NJ it was
at The highest, and, though some apprehen-
sIons were felt at Georgetown of its doing
mischief along the wharves, yet, we believe
By reason of the brisk wind from the west
northwest, which pressed the water on to-
wards the bay, those apprehensions were not
realized. In the after part of yesterday
there was a CREST deal of heavy drttw0od
running, and boatmen were numerous and
busy on the river in converting it to their
use. The few vessels at the wharf.side in
Georgetown, were compelled to hug their
moorings closely, 50 as TO avoid being swept
of by the current.-Nationat Iuteltgencer.

MISCELLANEOUS READING

AMERICAN COOKING STOVES ABRoAD.--We
learn by the Ironnionger,, a London periodi-
cal, that American cooking stoves have been
introduced into that city, and have met with
great favor by those who have used and ex-
amned them. 1t states that 'the patterns
OF these stoves were imported from America,
and they are commended for beauty, comfort,
cleanliness and the saving Of fuel. Our CO.
temporary observes that there is no country
in the whole world where fuel is burned 80
extravagantly US in Great Britain; circum-
stance, no doubt, owing partly to the abun-
dance and consequent cheapness of mineral
fuel, partly to the prejudice of English peo-
pie IN fayorof large open fire, and lastly,
and possibly chiefly, to the fact that certain
fashions, both in pattern and material, have
got possession OF the market, and are diff.
cult to dispace by those which are even far
superior. Precisely in the same manner AZ
the old schoo-bookS, which were in use in
the infancy of our fathers, are still printed
and employed by the hundreds of.thousands,
although they are despised by every person
having the least acquaintance with the sci
ence OF education. and, consequently, entire
ly superseded in all schools conducted on any
system in advance Of the most miserable rou-
tine. 1t is calculated that at the lowest pos
sibte estimate, at least nine tenths of the
heat produced by the burning Of coal in an
ordinary CRATE, passes up the chimney, and
is entirely wasted. In other words, 80 de-
fective are our ranges, that it takes ten
