In this model city of Philadelphia, WeHo gib ed palaces, or. as they should properly be termed, boils, ire to be found In almost ad sections l hereof, out on onr most fashionable thoroughfares and In tho bust, is part of the city do they most abound. Men who are just commencing tnn practice wnieh will lead eventually to the results we have already mentioned. rush out from their counting-houses to upend a few short minutes in the laro baiiK, with the Vain hone of retrieving some former loss, and per haps whilst thus absent their confidential employes are niching sutllclent cash from the concern to ena ble them, after the cud of business hours, to make one more stake, Intending to apply the winnings to the covering of a forgery ever staring them in the A few nights ago, an Individual, whose name wo shall represent as ( , entered one of these faro banks or tiger's dens No. 2 Chcsnut street, and after re maining therein Borne little time, found that he was minus a set of dlamend studs, a gold watch and chain, and considerable cash, the whole amounting to between I'JOO and a f lotto. Not being willing, like many other dupes before him, to lick his wounds and Buffer on, he repaired to the Central 1'ollre Station on Tuesday, and there reported his loss. Yesterday, when the regular police triuls at the Central Station bad ended, three well-known parties were seen to enter the ofllco, and after a short confab with cer tain parties, one of them, It. Lister Smith, ap proached Alderman Kerr, and, with a few hurried whispers, the whole airalr was settled, and the party arrested allowed to go nnd again pursue his nefarious work. The party named signed the bull bond, though for what amount we could not ascer tain, as It is the bminrmi of our olllclals to screen and eover over all such coses, for our public must learn, If they have not, that these men these gamblers are entitled to Immunities and privileges which wnnlrt tm nnd are of ten denied to our best citizens. Thns the case was settled for the time being, and that means forever, for conviction for gambling, or jwtn trial therefor. In OMr courts is as great a rarity as snow In the tropics. The victim lias seen t he last of his cash nnd valuables, nnd h has felt tho painful incisive wounds produced by the velvet-footed animal. If he be a sensible man he will go to work, with the earnest resolve to retrieve ins loss in legist mate business nursults. and vow at the B imo Unit never even to approach within Right, if possible, of the animal's lair, whilst our magistrate whose deal ings are but synonymous for ji'd'.v, and wuost! efforts are always directed tntcardn )nininhinr,the criiiii naU, will pursue the even tenor of his way, ferrlinj in kin heart that ho has nobly, ultlioiujli with a taeriftce, performed his duty i An Impkovkment in Stkkkts Tlie attention of property holders on Hansom street has recently been directed to nie uiivmu.iiKeM in.-it win uuiwuu uum n united eil'ort on their nurt to have the street paved from its commencement at Sixth 8 reet to tlm Schuylkill with a patent pavement. There Is a great need of such an enterprise, as any carriage owj.-fp can testify, and It will advance the valuepf -property lor tmsmess purposes in iy ugiii nevond doutit. This has been the experi;',1,.. tn Mercer street, New York, which is geQ?aplilcully located In a similar port of that city, -ft, is further proposed to cut a car riage way acrtftg independence Squuro and thus give a communication wiih Library street, widen Harmony court, artrl thus open the street from the Schuylkill to the Delaware at a very tnllng expense, and wlih fltly increasing value to tho property. Locust ' street and Filbert st reet could also lie treated In a similar manner at but little expense, and the pro perty that la now occupied for the basest of uses would enhance In value for business purposes. These streets are tho oniv avenuea of nny importance run ning east and west that have not hern occupied with passenger railways, and It ts not probnblo that there will be enough business to uuthorl.e our legislatives CafBars to seize the franchises of railways on them. The cnttlng through of Independence Houaro would perhaps excite some opposition among the patriot who delight to see it in lis present dilapidated con dition, and annoy the bootbla.'ks who diversify their little games of pitch nnd toss on the steps and surroundings of that ornament to the architecture of our city, known as the New Court House, with an occasional rough and tumble light on the sacred spot supposed to be where tho Declaration of Inde pendence was Urst given to the light or the world, but which In reality, up to the commencement or tlie E resent century, was occupied by a row of dwelling ouses facinc on W alnut street. This will all be clearly shown In the next twenty years, when Westcott'H History of Philadelphia shall reach this period of the history of Hie city. - iNTEKRHTiNfi to Bkokkks. Assessor .lohn B.

KU Stephen's l'rotestant Episcopal ( burch was the place selected for the performance of the matrimonial ceremonies. Tho church was tilled to overflowing with an elegantly dressed com pany, many of whom were from Boston, Baltimore, and New ork. The largest portion, however, were residents of this city.

A Woinnn (Jnaged and Shorn. Aflout 7X o'clock last evening two Individuals, at present unknown, entered the residence of Thomas Adams, on Koulkrod street, 1'Vankford, and robbed It of one hundred dollars In cash. Mr. Adams is the engineer of tlie )ccatur Steam l ire Kiigine, of Kruiikford, mid at the time was absent attending to his duties. There wen? in the botire Mrs. Adams, her mother (a bedridden Invalid), and a couple of children who were uleeu in tneir cot up stair. uu of tlie scoundrels cilected nn entrance through tho cellar, uscended to the kliehen, opened the back door, and admitted his comrade. The two th-m pro. ceeded into another room, where they nu t Mrs. Adams, whnm they bound uud gagafed. They next visited Mrs. Adams mother, mil, seeing that sue was helpless, paid no further attention lo her. They then turned to the sleeping children, whom they molested no lurtuer man ny placing a heavy cane over the breast of one of tliein. The supposition Is that in case T.ne child, ivinen was me eldest one, au.l n boy, should have made any outcry, tlie cluo would have been used to main mm. Having completed a'l their preparations they then ransacked the house from top to bottom, tearing up carpels, ripping open bed ticks, smashing me rur nllure, and emptying druwers, in one of which tlb'y lounii me lino in casii. , . .

Adams, and left. Tlie rascals previons to their entering tlie house had taken the precaution to black their faces, in order to prevent recognition. Perhaps tlie most no ticeable leaturc of the whole uil'alr is, that this makes the ninth one of utmost bimilur asouuiU upon Mrs. Adams.

THIRD EDITION I wAonirjoTon, A Fleet of Iron-clada Ordered to New York Harbor to Look Alter the Spanish Flotilla. E U R o r E. Spanish Colonial Reform The Ques tion of Slavery Reserved for Specific Legislation. FROM WASJIIJVQTOJI. Iron-rlndn Ordered to New York Harbor. JJfxWal Dtspatch tn The Kvtning Telturaph, Washington, Nov. sr. The Government, having learned that a Spanish fleet of some rour or live ves sels Is about to pay a visit to the harbor of New York, Is at a loss to know what object can bring them there at this particular time. It Is given out by tho Spanish Minister that the proposed visit Is a friendly one, but It appears tho Government Is not altogether satisfied on this point, and accordingly several iron-cluds have been ordered to proceed to New York at once. Among them aro tho Mlantonnmah and Terror, together with a torpedo boat, which is to be sent rrom the Navy Yard here. This torpedo boat alone, It Is estimated by Admiral Torter, would be able to look after the Spanish fleet, but It Is thought best to have a lew Hrst-class Iron-cluds on hand. It Is sup posed that tho real object of tho visit of this licet is to overawe the Government ami get the Spanish gunboats out of port. Whatever It may bo, the Gov ernment is ready to meet it. Ways nnd MeandiConiiiiltteo. The W ays and Means Committee 1b expected to meet here to-morrow. They have already aocirau lated considerable data relative to Internal revenue and t a rill bills, and, It Is said, at the meeting the bill revling the tariff will be submitted by Judge Kelley, and some changes suggested.
