Spring Gardens, London, presided over by
a MIR. Blackman, for procuring conyersa-
tionalists for the parties of parvenues He
had an assortment of six hundred ready to
start like Archibald Forbes. at moments
notice, for any place in the British Empire.
Among them were seven Irish peers and
three Scotch fifteen ruined baronats, and
number of men warranted to tell, with
more or less eloquence, the story of the
Peninsula war. The gentler sex was rep
resented by one hundred and eighty-seven
maidens of uncertain ages and small rev.
enues All these, said the advertisement,
play at cards generally to the advantage
of their partners" The pay foT time of So
iourn was four meals day, and claret if

slightest doub1, to sell them at large sacri-
fees. Nothing illustrates this more forci-
bly, than the absurd decline of 6S per cent
on the per cent. Government bonds be-
tween yesterday morning and noon to-day
