The death of Lord Sydenham seems to have let loose ail the evil spirits on the borders or Canada. The last exploit of our nobie neigh bours has been the kidnapping and abduction of an American citizen while within our bor ders. The de-aiis of the case as they have reached us from the vicinity where the vio lence was perpetrated, are in some points con traJi r orv; but all agrde mainly that our ter ritory has once more been invaded, without Jaivrni cause of war, by an armed bandit from the opposite shore, and that the destined vic tim, Coi. Grogan, was violently seized while helpless in bed, manacled and forcibly dragged from his friend’s domicile. We have neither time nor taste for splitting straws, and we therefore look upon inis barbarian enterprise as clearly indicative tiiat numerous gangs of marauders are wickedly and with malice aforethought, bent on a systematic disturbance of the tranquility of the United States. Don’t talk to us a.iout the British Government rep resented by sixteen thousand bayonets in the Canadas, not being implicated with those des peradoes—non-prevention in this case is abso lute eneouragemen 1 . Bat it we are to believe the Montreal Gazette, this second edition of the Caroline affiir was planned and executed under martial authority. Our contemporary says: “The notorious Crogan, whose name, coup led with different cases of incendiarism on the frontier, is doubtless familiar to our readers, was yesterday brought to this ci in the charge of a party of the Queen’s Light Dra goons, and safely lodged in jail.” We presume’ this is insultingly pretended as a set off against the case ot McLeod, but these is not a single analagous point in the two cases. McLeod came into our neutral territory and murdered one ot our fellow-citi zens—Col. Crogar is taken from that neutral country into a foreign province, where rebel lion is rife. McLeod will be tried according to laws recognized by ail civilized nations in cases of homicide, but Col. Grogan is in ihe hands of kidnappers, who will make but a short step from marauding to murdering. To show our readers the monstrous lalsehoods which are invented, and the loul libels which are penned and promulgated in Canada, we subjoin the following extract from that incen diary print, the Niagara Chronicle, Upper Canada “Emissaries from the ‘patriots,’ who are leagued together in the adjoining republic for the purpose of robbing and murdering the in habitants of Canada, have rent ntly visited this District. “Their errand was, to get persons to enrol their names as ready to embark in aov move ment which might be undertaken against ihe province, and they solicited such as they though- might be depended upon to attend a ‘patriotic’ convention about to be held at Man chester, N. Y. These emissaries stated that they had in the republic upwards of ten thou sand men, well armed, and ready for operations at a moment’s notice: that although they could not quite depend upon open support from the Federal Government, they couid cal culate upon its covert assistance; that the ‘patriotic’ cause was now headed by Col. j Johnson, Vice President of the United I Sta'es,) and a Mr. Scott, (nephew of the pre- | —ui’ ili U. 13. Army, I who, it Will be remembered, used to hob-nob | with his brother, Gsn. Van at Buffalo;) and, furthermore, that this force, well organized, furnished with a vast number of pieces of ordnance, and continually increas ing, a demonstration would shortly be made which would astonish the world.” A more clumsy, but malicious attempt at recrimination than that we never beheld. But ’tis no use concealing the truth in this matter. The Canadians know well ‘ho disease lies in the polypus kind ot government in Great Brit ain, one of whose langs has extended to the Canadas. The Canadians themselves must uproot this deadly branch of the central mala dy. What on earth was ever more preposter ous than the attempted union of the two Pro vinces, except as seperaie states, moving in plandtary order under one Federal Govern ment. Bad enough to be enslaved at home, under the domination of a cruel aristocracy ; bad enough to be insulted by changes of men from Wings to Tones, and then lrom Tories back agai nto Whigs, without anyameliora tien of grievances; bad enough all this, but to witness by hourly experience the contrast between oppression and freedom—between a people under military suhjectiun, and a people who are Lords of themselves, with a river on ly dividing the two territories—ail thus is e nougli to make men despera e, a id despera tion makes them outlaws and demoniac dis turbers of oar ha py liepublic. Vou cannot open Lord Durham’s report, without finding in every page sufficient evidences of bad gov ernment, which has preduced a race of sava ges. Open his book at page 130. and yon will fancy you are reading one of the “Grievances” of down-trodden Ireland, lie describes an election under the murderous abominations of Orangeism. The Assembly presented an ad. dress to Sir Francis Head, begging** i'hat his Excellency would be pleased to inform the House whether the Government of the Pro vince had taken, or determined to take, any steps to prevent or discourage the formation or con’inuance of such societies.” To this address, McLeod’s commander, Sir Francis Head, made the following reply : “The Gov eminent of this Province has neither taken, nor has it determined to take any steps to pre vent or discourage the formation or continu ance of such societies.” Are not this address an.! reply sufficient proof that tlie Government policy is to keep the Canadas in a disturbed state, and thereby provoke a border warfare ! !>:■ e British Government mean to make the Canadas a peaceful and nourishing country, it would not send harpies atnor-g them to eat up their substance. It would not send adventur ers among them; but would place in the high est offices natives whose characters would oe a guarantee for their Patriotism. No—lus common-sense policy won’t do. Whatwoul. then become of the “Brilliant Bastards” ti of royalty and the left handed descendants o! the most profligate and sensual aristocracy that ever disgraced human nature. One oi the oris, rings of licentiousness is sent to one colony and one to another, and all lor the same object—o prowl about, not like lions, but like wolves, seeking whom they may devour. The practice of bo; h Whigs and Tories in this mat ter is precisely the same. When Peel was ir. office, in 1835. lie was about to send Lord Can ternary as Governor-General of Canada.— Why ! Because he had just been maiie a pauper-peer, and it was convenient to be pro tected from his creditors. Melbourne on suc ceeding Peel sent a leash of whiglings, and on the principle ot that proverb which says, “too many cooks spoil the broth,” this trio o hangers on contributed to stir up a civil war Durham came. He was the plague of the cabinet of which ins father-in-law, * ord Grey, was the premier, and for this cause only he was sent out of the way to the court of Bus si ;, and afterwards for the same reason he as £ uuied a mimic majesty among the p!aiu re- publicans in Canada. Military law, wielded by Colbourne, succeeded the monarch’cal dis position if Durham, and then Poulet Thomp son, who had served his clerkship under Hus kisson, was sent out with a bribe in one hand ind a scourge in the other to ea joie or compel in union of opposing elements. W hat but anarchy could by possibility result fiom ail this which is mere specimen, embracing only a perioc of about six years of what h is been he practice ever since the Canadas were ursed by the colonization schemes of Great Britain. And now when this anarchy prevails —when the Canadians are divided into two classes —the favorites and the outcasts —now when half the community are driven to be starved at home or to become buccaneers abroad —now, forsooth, we are told by some hireling newspaper at Niagara, Upper Cana da, that emssaries from this republic are about to rob and murder the inhabitants of Canada! But ibir.rloward Douglass is coining to set ail to rights! Driven from the gov ernorship of the lonian Islands for his tyrani cal whiggerv under Melbourne, he is now coining to America to be instrumental in forc ing ihe Canadians to yield to the bad passions of the newly converted Tory Stanley, Secre tary of State for the Colonies. No, no, what ever rebellions have taken piace, or may here after take place in the Canadas, have arisen and will arise from'causes inherent in, and m separable from, a vicious system of govern meat, and we cannot help thinking that the recent proclamation of the President of the United States is a state paper that never should have emanated from a chief magistrate of these United Sta'es. Where did Mr. Ty ler procuae his evidence from! From tho lacquey, we presume, or the British minister at Washington! Would Andrew Jackson have issued such a document as that at once calumniating American citizens and prostrat ing himself at the feet of Canadian barbarian ! llovv unconsislent is Mv Tyler—one day lie manfully adopts Jacksou’s principles and prac tice in respect of vetoing a British Bank Bill, and another day he pusillanimously proclaims American citizens to be secret incendiaries. This is a sad relapse, and one to be deplored by every sound hearted American, natj\e or adopted. From certain symptoms, we think Canadian affairs will become a frequent topic between us and our ‘ eaders.

Opinion of Lord Brougham respecting a National Bank. —The advocates of a National Bank in t e United States, are di rected to the remarks of Lord Brougham, in another part of this paper, respecting the dangerous monopoly of the Bank of England. THE RECENT ELECTION AND ITS RE SULT. Neither party were prepared, we presume, for the decisive and triumphant result wit nessed in the elections for Governor and members of tho Legislature, on the 4th of this month. The Democratic party, although aware of increasing strength, caused by the unpopularity of the leading measures of the Whigs, as developed in the late extra session of Congress, and by the utter failure, and in deed inability, of the victorious party to fulfil even a tithe of tiie pledges made previous to the late election, yet had no idea of the extent and intensity of the defection. Entertaining sanguine hopes of securing the Legislature, there were yet serious doubts whether Gov. | McDonald, with all hjs personal popularity, j and his deep devotion to the interests of the ! people of the State, would be able to breast j the torrent which, during the last year, swept j every thing before it, and left scarcely a ves i tige of the party which, in 1839, haa elevated | him to the Chief Magistracy of Georgia. His ; opponent was*known to be a gent leman of ex tensive personal popularity, and to be able to bring out the full strength of the Whig p irtv, and whh the majority which that parly j had last year, it seemed to be perfect folly to hope for, much less to expect, the re-election of the present incumbent. The result then, which secures not only a Democratic Legisla ture, but a Governor oi the same political stamp, affords the most conclusive evidence of the deep and settled change in public opinion, and of its utter aversion to that system ol measures which are sought to be carried out by the whig party proper. Whig Journals in this Stale may attribute the defeat (Waterloo defeat as they are pleas ed to term it,) of their p rty to local causes— to mere ephemeral catch-traps of their oppo nents—but they will ere long discover.that it had its origin in causes deeper and tar more important—in that tendency to discard all the ancient and approved political doctrines of the South, essential to its preservation and pros perity, which is but too visible in the recent movements of Congress, and in political de velopements throughout the country. Men ol intelligence and of strong party predilections, heretofore unwavering in their adherence to the men and measures of the Stare Rights party of Georgia, have, in the recent struggle, absented themselves from the polls—or mani fested the most perfect uxhiierence; or yielded, from a sense of duty, a reluctant support to the caud.dates of the democracy. We hear almost daily, from every section of the State, reports of the dissatisfaction of prominent mem bers of the State Rights party —of their open and undisguised opposition to the leading mea sures of the Whigs—and of their determina tion to withdraw from, if they cannot avert the downward career of their party. The ensuing Legislature has a difficult and delicate task before it—and we hope its delib erations will be such as to answer the expecta tions ol the people, and promote the public in lere.-.ts. Nothing should be done, nor should aught be left undone, which may endanger the permanency of the victory just achieved, and secure all those benefits which wili flow soon er or later from tho st rict observance of the true principles of the Constitution.

Mr. Tiiiveatt is m error in supposing Mr. Forsyth to he the au’hor ol” the communica tion-in question. It was written by a gentle man in Washington City, who, on seeing the strictures of the Georgia Journal, and the ieiter of its Washington correspondent, un dertook to poi all the (acts mi such form as would present the matter understandingly to the Public, Mr. Forsyth hail nothing to do with the production of the paper— hut earned its publication to be made, and holds hintst If responsible for any personal reflections it may contain.

Having beei assailed in a most gross, ma lignant, and unwarrantable manner, in the Columbus Tilues of the 23J September, in an article without a name, but defensive of tiie Hon. John Forsyth, against certain charges which certain Commissioners made ogams.. tiiat gentleman, and which were communica ted to the people of Georgia, in a letter of mine, from Washington City, dated on the lGdi July last, &. after having presented all tiie lacts before the public, without alluding to the epithets so liberally bestowed upon me, and feeling that. I had been basely traduced by some friend of Mr. Forsyth, I, came to this place for the purpose of asking the name oi the author, and seeking that satisfaction which 1 conceived was ‘due me. In pursuance of that object, the following correspondence en sued : COPY. Columbus, October 8, 1841. James Van Ness.E q.

Thweatt, jr. It will be seen, by the last note from Air. Van Ness, that. I am precluded from carrying out the determination expressed in my first note, for the author turns out to be no other than the Hon. John Forsyth, himself. Mr. For syth’s age, all will conceive, would render it highly improper tor me to call upon hnn. lie won id have the right to refuse me gatlsfac tion, it lie thought proper. Had 1 known that Mr. Forsyth was the author*, 1 slimed never have thought for a moment, of demanding per-, sonal satisfaction of him. iiis missiles cast at me, would have been noticed in an entirely different manner ; tor knowing him to be the author, l could have obtained (and can now obtain) all tbA satisfaction 1 desired, through mv paper. Had 1 supposed that tiie honorable gentleman was the author, that supposition j would have been in direct contradiction to ihe i language of the article, which, in addition to | the prose bestowed upon “the Hon. John . Forsyth,*’ the writer asked if I, or my as-oci-; 1 aip friend, were “ so simple as to expect that the distinguished object oi ihe slander, would sloop to def end his character from such missi - les, east by such hands,” &e. So', having proceeded in tins matter as far j as he conceives ins friends and the public will j justify him, the undersigned closes this arti i cle with the remark, that, at his leisure, and J in ins editorial capacity, he will take the liber | ty of criticising the honorable gentleman’s pro .duction iu such a way and in sucita manner as lie may deem most proper. PEftiksoN THWEATT, jr. Columbus, October 13, 1841. A resident ot Stewart lias called and re quested us to insert a communication, which wiH be found in ih;s paper, in answer to some remarks of the Enquirer of yesterday, res peeling the issues presented to the people of Stewart county, in the election on the 4th in stant : For ihe Times. The Enquirer of yesterday states that in many counties, loca causes were brought to operate against then —that in Stewart, it seems to nave been raagined by some, ihat if the democrat were strong enough i;i the next Legislature, a branch of the Central Bank might be coavetJenily focatcd at Lump kin, for the special benefit of such as suppor ted the Democratic ticket. I sav ye immor tal champions of truth, from whence came your information ? Dal you hear the wai ls whistle it, dr cIJ you dream it? The people of Stewart, we are certain, did not expect such a tiling, and we hate to see von accu sing your whig friends of being so light in the upper story, when they are weekly re ceiving the paper ol such renowned, talented edito s, as those ol the* E quirer. Your defeat in Siewari, as .well as every where else, is chic fly attributed to the simple tact that you have openly deserted the p"ti ciple- practiced by you in by-gone days. \ on have laid aside your doctrines of 1825 & 32, and are crying aloud for a United Slates Bank, of any character, together wit i h- s i concomitants, a high tariff and internal im ! piMvemems. You have meted with the north* 1 ern lederahsis, in many odious measures, and to which you have heretofore been opposed, and are glorying in the charity possessed by your leaders, in making twenty-five thousand dollar appropriations to wealthy w dows. — We lim v tin t drowning men will catch at straws, but all vve ask, is, that when you fell the pub! c a talc, you will adhere to truth. — Ted us what von think of the course pursued hv 1 lie mar* whom you were ihe first to nom inate lor the Vice Presidency. A voter OF STEWART, Arrest of Grogan.— The Burlington Seiiliiiei insists that the arrest of this individu al was effected within the limits of the State of Vermont, 4 ndies on the American side of the line, by a party ol'l2 British s Idiers, I’uLv armed, who crossed over to At burgh, in three wagons, According to this journal, Grogan was taken from the house of his brother in law, a Mr. Brown, after the com uission of some null ages. We fervently hope that there is no I’onndution for the representation of Ihe Sentinel. It'true, one circumstance might be pleaded in extenuation. Grogan is known to have been conn c ed with the firing of buildings on tiie frontier during the b te rebel lions, lie lias for sometime past been resi ding with his family at Lockporl, in 1 lit State of New York, and bis re-appearance upon the scene of his former outrages, most pro bably, inspired apprehensions of a renewal of the injuries to which innocent families <vn the frontier had been exposed.— Montreal Times.

The Jones County TYmtierame Society, to ihe va rious Temperance Snci-ties and friends of Tern p ran :e in the Slate of Georgia— Greeting : Respected Friends:—For several months past, in our regular monthly meetings, we have had under consideration the subject of a Convention of he friends of Temperance, with a view to the formation of a State Socie ty, or in some other way promoting the cause to the best advantage. The utility and im portance of such a meeting, you will readily perceive and cheerfully admit. \Ye consider it desirable it should be held at. as early a day as practicable. The evils of Intemperance need to be checked without, delay. Whatev er may be done for the thousands of inebriates in our State, must be done soon. Besides, there are many who are rapidly sinking into habits of drinking and drunkenness, with whom our efforts may be more successful now th.au at some future period. Thousands of drunkards in other States have been reformed within a year past—and hundreds of thous ands have been induced to abandon the use o’ all intoxicating drinks, who, a few years ago, seemed to be in the highway to ruin. Htnv many inebriates in Georgia may be reclaimed —how many in trie way of destruction may be turned into paths or sobriety, if all those friendly to the cause of Temperance and good order could be roused to act prudently, zeal ously and unitedly in this matter! Belie vmg that a general meeting of the friends from all parts of the State would have a tendency to promote this great and good on ject, we take the liberty of suggesting that such a meeting be bed in Mdiedgevilie, to commence the 31 Tuesday in November next, to continue as long as may be found necessa ry. Though we make this suggestion, we beg leave io add, that it a majority shall prefer any oilier time and place, we will cheerfully yield, and meet the frie. ds of ha cause any where in the. S- ate, and at anv time. w c respectfuliy invite ail Temperance So cieties to call meetings on the subject as soon as may suit their convenience. Where So cieties do not exist, we hope friends will con* fer together. And let us hear from you all through the Temperance Banner, or other wise, as you think proper, with as little delay as may he necessary. In behalf oi’ the Jones county Temperance Socle!y, We are respectfully yours, John Fitts, Peter Grower, Tloratio Bowen, Wat. Lowtiier, J. 11. Campbell, Committee. Clilffon. Ga. Sept, f I, 1841.

The substance of which is, twelve loyal subjects of Victoria came over the line, two miles and a half, into the town of Aiburgh, and arrested Cos!. Crogan by force—bound him in chains, and took him to niontrea], where ;he is doubtless ere this lodged in jail. The ! information we have from a well known ac quaintance who saw him in chains at Missis ! quoi Bay, yesterday morning. This act, we trust, will be inquired into by our government without delay.” Georgia -Toe last accounts throw great don bis on tie prospects of Diwson.

All our readers, no doubt, recollect the whole sale forgeries, that bv means of bills of lading and pseudo drafts have so fleeced our mer chants in many of the largest commercial cities. The perpetrator of these rascalities evinced consummate cunning and ability, and has been pursued from Maine to Louis.aua and back by the police without success. Only a few days ago fie made a firm in New Vork, it. will be reme.rrrbered, suffer to the tune of •11123,000, and a firm ia this city to a similar amount. Well, this adroit rogue, it is said, has been at length arrested. He was caught in Phila lelphia last Friday night by officer Lowndes, of the New York police, and what is betlei slid, forty thousand dollars of the stolen mon ey found on his person ! This will be good news to tfie losers. He was conveyed to New York. We hope the villain may swing —as well as all fluaric ers of die same morai calibre.—Phil. Spirit of the Times, The following account of Crockford’s in v London —the largest Gaming House in the j World, is from a work, published in 1837, entitled the “Great Metropolis.” Who has not heard ot Crockmrd’s : Every body lias heard of it, and every one knows ; that it is a great gambling establishment; but 1 that is the extent of the public’s knowledge !■ on the subject. The fact is, that the parties bv whom it is supported, as weil as the pro prietor himself, take every means in their • power to keep everybody eise but themselves m ignorance of it. Crock lord’s is the largest gaming establish ment in the metropolis; pernaps it is the larg est in the world. r l he house is situated on ihe right hand side of Si. James’s Street, ji j few vurds oil'Piccadilly. It was nuiu m r’ -o, at tile enormous expense of newly 60,01X1/.;, while the furnishing of it cost 3 >,DUU/. more, making altogether a sum not much snort ot 100,000/. It is a very large and very hand some house, externally ; but no one by seeing it from ‘he outside can have any conception, of the-splendor which il exhibits withm. — ; There is nothing like it, in the latter respect, m London. No one, I believe, not even those j accustomed to visit the mansions of the aris tocracy', ever entered the su!> n for tl e first time, without being dazzled with the splendor which surrounded him- A friend and my sell lately went throughout the whole of it; and for some moments, on entering the saloon, vve stood confounded by the scene. If is a large, spacious room, irom fifty to sixty iect in length, ; and from twenty to twenty-five in breadth. On each side ‘ace two mirrors in magnificent frames. The plate alone of each of the lour • cost nearly one hundred guineas. From a | glance of the eye, I slum and take their dimen sions to be about sixteen feet by eight, i'hy waifs and ceding of the saloon are most rich ly ornamented by carved work, beautifully gilt. The bottoms of the chairs are all stuffed with down, while the carpenter part of the work is of that unique description which ren- • ders it impossible lor me to describe it. The j principal table has the appearance of being j cut out of a solid piece of wood : a piece of more richly carved work, all gilt except the top or surface, 1 have never seen. The . chandeliers are magmficent, and when lighted up with sperm-oil. the only thing used, they ! produce an effect of which it. is impossible to convey an idea. On the let hand, as you enter the saloon, is the card room ; much smaller, but also splendidly fitted up. On the right hand, at the op. unite or Si. James’s end ol the saloon, is the hazard room, with ail the paraphernalia of gaming. It is not large, be ing only about twenty ieet in length by four : teen in breadth. There is adm.ss on to the ’ hazard room from the saloon by- a large doi r, 1 winch in its massy appe. rauee arid the hard ’ ness oi the wood oi w inch it is made, remi ue i me of that of a prison ; it is also a piece of su perior workmanship, with the ornamented part, of it richly gift. Branching off from the hazard room, is the supper room fertilise who gamble. Judging from the number of chiirs around the tabie, which seemed as if they had been occupied ihe previous night, there must have been fourteen persons on that occasion at. the hazard table; for none but these who play at hazard are allowed io sup in that par ticular room I; is. together with ihe hazard room, fitted up in a slyie ol magnificence corresponding with the splendor of i.ue older parts of the house. The suppers are . most sumptuous, and are laid out in a style rarely equalled in the houses of any of our nobility. 1 hey are all given gratis by Mr. Crock bird. Super!) suppers are also given in the saloon, without any charge, Io those of the members of the club who choose to partake of them. 1 was at a loss for sometime to know how Mr. Crock ford could afford to run the risk of about 750 subscribers, which is the number of mem bers, supping at h:s expense, while they orfiy pay twenty guineas entrance money each, and ten guineas yearly, subscription. 1 had tiie matter, however, soon explained to me With regard to those who emer the hazard r oin, 1 saw at once tiie policy of plying ; hem with the choicest wines, ami wi.ii a suiiLneiii quantify of them, because vvh m “ ho ‘.vine’* in, tiie wit,” according to the old proverb, is sme to be “out;” and men are then, o. course, in the best of all possible condruing to risk their money, and to play, ton, j;i sucli ; way as is most likely to result in ihoir losing it. The superb suppers, as Count D’Orsay calls them, which Crockferd g.ves >o such persons are, therefore, not thrown away.— When the .affair of the sumptuous suppers m the saloon to those who, at the tjme, have no intention of playing ;.t hazard, was exp’ai. ed to me, the whole tiling appeared equally intel ligible. 1 hose of the members uha have set their faces against gambling, very seldom partake of those suppers ; they have a coffee room down stairs, where they can order any refreshment they pie.se, which is furnished to them at reasonable prices, as in other clubs: those who are not opposed to gambling from principle, but are not non and gamblers, so,no tunes partake of those supper--, and so nmunes theydo not. It rejoices Mr. Crock.,: s heart when ho hears they do: it is an excellent! omen. “A superb supper,” with a liberal * apply of the choicest wines which London can afford, often inspires a disposition to gam ble when n tiling else will. Nightly obser vation lias taught Mr. Crockloni that the transition from the supper in the saloon to the hazard room, is as natural as is the tran sition from the hitter t<> utter ruin. But there are other “ uses” of the suppers m the saloon. There are a certain number of persons called “Greeks,” or “Spiders,” attached to the es tabhvhment, ostensibly mein ers of the club, but without a penny in she world,—who are found to be eminently serviceable to the “concern.” Is it asked, “In what, way!” Why, m catching fiats, or, to use their own phraseology, “in bringing pigeons in to fie plucked.” ‘These persons must, of course, be well treated ; and as a supper at home is a rare thing wi ll them, one at Ciockford’s is so much the greater object Besides, the work of catching fiats is but half finished when the latter are brought into the house. B'fibre it can be completed, they must bo made to par take of tiie sumptuous supper, and to drink liberally of tiie “delicious wines.” When they enter the house they have, not, perhaps, the slightest intention of throwing a singie dice, or, at anv rate of risking m*re than a mere trifle. They arc pressed by those who “took them in ” .o partake of the “refresh ments,” as they are called. Weil, it appe ,•■.* to them that-refreshment is not a bad thing after all; they accordingly begin with the : supper, and end with the hazard table. The j moment they sit down to the refreshments, I but not till tlieu, the flats are considered as fairly caught. When a pigeon is caught, however, ir is very unusual to pluck him tie* first few nights. They allow lum to go on , winning some nights in succession. In th,.- the hedges have two objects in view : the one is to give him a keener appetite ior play, and the other is, that in the interim they contr ve by indirect means, either to elicit fr. in himself, or to obtain information from someone else, as to the full extent of his resources. They j regulate their movements accordingly. It matters not though he he not well sappfled with “ the ready if ins prospect of “by and by” succeeding to a large fortune be undenia bly good, Croekford’s b ink is at his service to nearly the full amount—supposing it were 50,001)/.—of what he is understood to be cer tain of succeeding to. In this way many young noblemen plunge themselves over head and ears in what are called debts of honor, before they succeed to expectancies : and, consequently, when they do so succeed, thev are, in point of fact, as poor as they were be fore. Some years ago Los C paid down 100,000/. on “his coming of age, for debts of honor lie had con; ranted at Crock ford’s. Crock ford’s cook is the celebrated ‘lons. Oude. His salary is a thousand guineas per annum. There is another cook uiKbr him with a yearly salary of five hundred gisir.iWdfc M. Oude seldom superintends the culinary process himself; lie only does so when the ihike of Argyle, or any other distinguished member of tiie club, requests him to do it* ’l’.,at the wines are of the choicest sort, and that there is variety enough to suit every di versity of taste, will at once be inferred from the fact, that the cellar out of which the house is supplied, and which is kept by Crock lord’s son. contains a stock which is valued at 70,- 000/. *• There’s a cellar for you J”—any of ihe Irish .Members oi Parliament would ex claim. .1 la ; e y went through the whole of it. [- begins under W lilis’s Rooms, St. James’s s’.recy and extends as far back as Braham’s new Theatre. It measures 285 feet in length- When 1 was in it, Mr. Crockibrd, junior, mentioned to me, that ihe number of bottles of wine, which I sit v shelved before me, inde pendently of innumerable hogsheads, was 503.030 ! 1 thm. hi of l ord Holland's story about ihe American, who, after he had made :fi 3 party of friends drink an incredible quan tify of wine, took them to see the heap of \ black Lotties they had emptied. His lord i ship says they were all surprised to such j a quantify of bottles under any circumstances* —but especially w hen they recollected lint j they hud emptied them aii: what woulu they have thought had they been taken to Crock ford’s cei.ar, and seen, as 1 did, 300,000 bottles at once. Poor Sheridan would have been in eetases with the sight, especially as they were all full. Some idea may be formed of the extent of Crock lord's establishment, and of the style in which.-t is kept up, when I mention that no fewer than th.rty-tliree se vants art constant ly employed in it. There is one set of waiters i r the day, and another for the night. They are decorated in the r.chest livery, and live in excellent style. They are amazingly polite t> those who frequent the place, in other words, they perfectly understand then - busi ness. They contribute their quota, with the splendor ot ihe place, the sumptuous suppers, and ihe delicious wines, to help on the flats on their way to ruin. Little does the unlucky wight ol “a pigeon” think when he first en ters the pandemonium, and is dazzled with ‘he magnificence around him, that all the splendor he witnesses is kept up at Ins ex pense, and the expense of other simpletons hke himself. On iho ground floor, detached from the reading room, there is another apartment, smaller t. an ‘hat up stairs, for playing hazard. This lower room is used during the parlia mentary recess, the number of gamblers in town tieing then much less ; or should it be wanted dm mg ihe time the houses are sitting, owing to an unusual muster of the gamblers, it is then thrown open. The one up stairs is always shut duing the legislative recess. I he hour at which t lie hazard room is thrown open is eleven o’clock, and ihe dice is in immediate requisition. Mr. Crockford mmselt a! that moment takes his station in a corner of the room, before a little desk: from that he never stirs until the playing is over. He acts on such occasions as Lis own clerk. No person belonging to the* establish-* merit is allowed, in any circumstances, or under any pretext, to enter the room while tiie gambiers are at v ork. There is a Mr. Page, wiio acts as “inspector,” or groom porter, while the games are going on in the hazaid room ; but he is in the confidence of most of the noblemen and gentlemen who fre quent that pari oi tiie house; and though pa and for his serv ices—some say at lire p. iucjly rate of fifty guineas per week —he can hardly bj said to be one oi Mr. Crock ford’s servants. The inspector, or groom-porter, or over looker, —fur he sometimes goes by one name, and sometimes by another, — sits on an eleva ted chair at the centre of the table, facing Mr. Grockford, and looks like a little king on Ins tnrone. With a small piece of stick, forming a miniature representation of a hay ra L e, he pinks to him Ihe money, which someone, act ing for Mr. t ‘rockford, fits won ; or pushes it .uwards any o'her party who may have been successful m ihe game, lie also audibly de clares the result of the game. In short, lie is i sort oi mas er of the ceremonies, taking al ways care that the dice lie not allowed to be idle. Beside Mr Crockford is “ the bank,” which every poor simpleton is made believe, by those “knowing ones ” who decoy him in, that he will be fortunate enough to break before lie rises from bis seat, but to whose stability he finds, before he quits the house, lie has essen tially contributed. 1 have mentioned that she hour for throwing open the hazard room is eleven o’clock. Per sons are allowed io enter the house until two in the morning, and may commence playing at any time uuul then. The doors areal! then .-hot ; but though no one is admitted after that hour, t lose wiio have been previously in the house are not obliged to leave it They are a lowed to remain as long as they please ; and many of them do remain till four or five o’clock. It was only in the beginning of August last, that some parties were so com pletely spell-bound by the game at which they had been play mg, that they never rose off ilie.r seats from the time they sat down at e.'ev on or twelve at night, until eight in the morning. On one part of the table, in each of she hazard rooms, are the words, “Odds for,” and on another, “ Otids against,” worked into the green cloth by which the tables are covered. 1 thought, when 1 saw the words, with what opposite emotions must they be viewed by him whose all, perhaps, is at stake, —-just as the former or latter apply to his playing ! Jn the former case, you see hope visibly impressed on his countenance : m the hitler case you wit ness in it the workings of a feeling approxima ting lo desperation. In Crock ford’s, very large sums are played for with use cards ; but it is at the hazard table, when the game is French hazard, that the work of plunder is carried on on tiie most ex fen:-,ve scale. There, to use gambling phrase ology, the “pigeon is plucked.” And to get ;hc* fi.it prevailed on to throw down the cards, and repair to Ihe hazard ro< in, is the great, though concealed object of those in the inter est in the house. A few h urs, most proba bly, will do the work in t-e latter place. The slakes are usually high: he loses, perhaps, a fourth part of Ins fortune in less than an hour: he “ tables” another fourth—be loses •again. He becomes desperate: in the deliri um, or madness (for that is iiie proper word) oi the momoiß, he determines on risking his all at one throw. Tiie dice turn up—his alf is lost : he who a few hours before was a rich man, is now a begg- r. The sums which young thoughtless noblemen lose at Crock ford’s in one night, are sometimes incrediblv large, Seven years ago one pigeon was plucked in a few hours, to the tune of 60,0002. —the stakes were 10,00 b/. It is only three years since Lord C , the graudson of a i aged noble Karl, lost 00,000/. in one nighty •fine winner was a noble Marquis, of sporting notoriety, who, according to report, was at that t ‘no, if not now, a part proprietor of the esta blishment. Losses of 5,000/., 7,000/., and, 10,0007., in one night, are i>y no means uncom mon when a rich flat is caught. There is one feature in Crock ford’s, which distinguishes it from all oilier gaming houses in t;.e metropolis. I alluue to the circum s‘anco of ail the members, or strangers intro duced by the members, playing against the house or bank. This, however, is only in the hazard room. In the card room, they may o. her pny against each other, or against the !>, , just as they think fit. W hat is meant by ihe house, or bank, s Mr. Crockf'mal bin..- s '“, represented by the iris nectar or sous v other filend ; for he never handles a < ar<l it throws a die personally.
