Tue Hers.!—Extraorpinary Dieciosures The most exciting topic of conversation in town is the gambling affair. Some days ago a young French Canadian, Mr. Edward Lamontague, was arrested, and | strange to say, a true bill has been found against him by the Grand Jury for “receiving stolen money,” the said money having been won at play from Mr Ready, at the Union Club,” alias “Hell,” although no bill has yet n found against the principal parties or the keepers of the house. Itis thought very unfair that Mr. Lamon- tay hould be made the ‘scape goat” on this occasion, an the secrets of the prison house are likely to be disclosed. It appears that among the prominent mem- bers of! this Hell were Lord Metcalfe’s Aides-de-Camp, Inspector Gene: Captain be epee ic Pee ivreges litary itlemen, one at least mes played were “Eng- | ” young Ready, as well as Lamontague, played with the officers and others. The names of other members of the Executive Council are freely spol lieve that Ready himself was only a visiter. We under. stand that very strange disclosures may be expec: in the course of a few ken of as visiters to the club; indeed we ut inthe mean time re- extraordinary that Mr. Lamon- ld out as a victim, while hon. entleiaen in high stations are equally guilty with him. e know that legal gentlemen have expressed great | at, | surprise thet a bill should be found it an acessory | before dealing with the principal.
