GAMBLING HOUSES, BTc.-Our Board OF Provost
Marshals act wisely In not attempting to make all
Of their regulations and impose all future restrc
tions at once. They commence with what is most
essential intending to mature further details ac-

Is well known that barrooms, coffeehouses, etc.,
are obliged to shut up at O'Clock P. II. This
regulation, as will be seen in another column, is
now extended to clubs, shops, oyster saloons, and
all kinds of stores except drug-stores. Gambling
houses are expressly prohibited, that is, they
not only to be shut up at O'clock but are to re-
main shut all the time. This move, we hope, will
gain few recruits for the army.
THE CoLL1sIoN.--Quite serious accident occur
red on the river, about 20 miles above the city, at
81 O'Clock, Saturday evening last. The Gen. Quit
man, going up, ran into the Iberyille, which was
on her way down from Bayou Sara, struck her
near the wheelhouse and cut her down to the
waters edge. The Iberville, with the assistance
of the Laurel Hill, came down to the dry.doek,
where she now is, for repairs. The Gen. Quitman
also so much injured that she had to return to
the city, but was sufficiently repaired by last even
ing to start out again. Fortunately, no one was

Horse, were on board at the time.
turned out yesterday in fine style. At the head of
the column was the Smith Artillery, followed i'm
mediately by the Enfield Rifle Battalion. This
body of stalwart men is composed of hework-
men employed by Cook & Brother, amounting in
all to about 600, though only some 400 of them
were out at the review. Following these came
the various regiments, the whole making column
in four ranks some half mile long, with banners
was estimated that there were about $500 men in
the ranks, constituting probably the strongest
militia brigade in the State.
MORE TRoops.-The steamer B. L. Hodge, which
arrived on Saturday morning from Grand Ecore,
brought down the ELAN Guards, so men, under
command of Captain c. NJ. Pegues; also to tia
mouth of Red river, the right wing of the Second

F1RE-At II O'Clock Saturday night last, fire
broke out in an unoccupied two-story house on
Annunciation street, between Terpsichore and
Edward streets, belonging to Mr.. Affleck The
rear and upper portion of the house were de-
of an incendiary.
OUTRAGE AT THE FREE MARKEr.-The robbery
of the Free Market, which took place night before
last, was marked by incidents which showed that
| other motives than the desire to commit theft
prompted it. From indications, it would appear
that no professional hand had been engaged, as
great deal of bunglng and unnecessary violence
had been used. Some one quite familiar with the
premises was evidently the robber, as he went
| directly to those drawers where the money was,
| not disturbing others. The amount taken is said
to have been about $685. though portion of it
being in check, can probably be stopped.
The visitors, however, were not satisfied with
| beneftting themselves; they devoted good deal
| of time and labor to wanton acts of destruction
which could in no way advantage them, but
| showed a malevolence hard to be conceived or
accounted for. Articles of clothing, used by the
