Police Intelligence. (Both Magistrates Sitting.) 6th August, 1877.
LARCENT,
Under the name of hotels, gambling houses are now openly permitted, somo fifteen of them receiving monthly licences from the police office, for which they pay a good stiff sum. This appears the more trango, as gambling is most strictly pro- hibited by Russian law; and it is really a curious fact that aneh a small place can support so many of them.
Une enterprising American has built some six or eight gambling places on his compound, in the centre of which he has obtained permission to build a Chinese theatre by way of attracting gamblers to the tables. Several hundred workmen and small traders are to be seen there daily, getting rid of their earnings. The worst feature, however, is that these dens are allowed to be open at night, so that the inhabitants will doubtless not be astonished repetition of the to hear shortly of Martinct murder; the principals in which escaped from prison, since which nothing has been heard of the matter.

We remained about a couple of hours in the town, and in that time the streets were torn up, the houses pierced and ruined by shells. At the first burst that occurred the sleepers had awoke, the houses discharged their inmates into the streets, and when shell succeeded shell there was weeping and wailing of women, burried rushes of golfch men, and laughter of boys, who, lying con. gealed in an archway, ruched out to pick up the pieces when a shell burat near them.
