THE PROPERTY OF THE NEw YORK SEVENTH
IN BAD HANDS Tuesday last, 1t was reported to
the military authorities Of this district that Capt
Hicks, Of the schooner Arctic, Of Alexandria Va u,
now living at the wharf In Georgetown, had
refused to permit the United States flag to be
hoisted on the vessel. A proper person was sent
TO inquire into the matter, and he asceraned that
the schooner had aboard the two bress guns,
several boxes Of muskets, with ammunition and
other material belonging to the Seventh New York
Regiment, which she was mployed 10 convey to
New York. The officials thong htit best to trans
fer this freight TO some more sure mode of con-
veyence, as II might possibly not arrive in New
York by this weasel. The property was removed
from her, and the schooner remains until the
charge against the captain il more fully investi-
gated.

PROSPERITY OF THEATRES IN HARD TINES.
1t is a singular theory, says the New York
Herald, but experience bears it out that
amusements flourish best in times of great
public calamity. There never were such
seasons of dissipation known in the European
capitals as during the periods in which they
were decimated by the cholera. The com
mercial reyulsions BY which we are period
Ically visited have usually proved favorable
to the prosperity Of our theatres. At the
present time, when destruction seems i'm
pending over our institutions, when bank
ruptcy is staring our merchants in the face,
and when thousands Of our workmen are
on the verge Of starvation, the theatres are
nightly crowded, to the great profit and
wonderment of the lucky managers.

CAN THE DEAD WIN AT CARDs?-A very
curious law case came recently before Ger
man court, arising from the following circum-
stance:
A gentleman sat at faro table in the town
of Koethen, Saxony, playing with the usual
attention and silence. Several plays were
made, and the cards which the gentleman
continued unchangedly to put forward won
repeatedly. The gold pushed toward the
winner by the croupier, was not drawn by
him, and after several more accumulations
had made the pile inconveniently large, the
keeper of the bank rather angrily requested
the fortunate man to take in his money.
With his eye fixed on his card, the player
took no notice of the request.
'Draw in your money! was again ut
tered by several around the table No
answer.
"Monsieur you incommode the other
players p said the croupier.
The same motionless silence. A person
sitting next the offender took hold of his
hand. The winner was dead. AS the body
was being removed, the croupier drew back
the money lie had showed towards the dead
player, alleging that the game based upon
reciprocal engagements could not exist be-
tween the dead and the living. The heirs Of
the defunct prosecuted the day after, declar-
ing that the winner had regularly commen-
ced and continued the game. The question
was carried before the tribunal Of Koethan,
and will probably depend upon the evidence
as to the point of time when the player
ceased to live.

As A WARNING to the American people at
this time, they should read The history of
the French Revolution, and contemplate its
horrible results. The extent to which blood
was shed during its continuance, will hardly
be credited by the present age; but it is
correctly stated that the number of victims
reached one million twenty-five thousand
three hundred and fifty one. Of this mum
ber, eighteen thousand six hundred and
sthree were gnillotined by order of the Revo-
sutionary Tribunals; thirty-two thousand
were victims under Carrier at Nantes thirty
two thousand at Lyons; three thousand four
hundred women died of premature child
birth; three hundred and forty-eight in
childbirth from grief; and there were slain
during the war IN La Vendee, nine hundred
Thousand men, fifteen thousand women, and
twenty-five thousand children. In this
enumeration there are not comprehended
the massacre at Versailles, at the Abbey the
Carmes, and other prisons on the I'd of Sep
