appear that the particular episode which prompted Imperial intervention was the changing of hands, within a week, of no less a rum than six hundred thousand pounds in the play robins of the club. More than half of that enormous amount was lost by Prince Domidell, of San Donato, to his cousin, Colonel Count Schoarsloff-pot the the diplomatist, but an aide-de-camp to Chr. This stupendous “gambling transas- tion came to the ears of Count Loris Melikeff, who deemed it his duty to report the matter to the Emperor, craving his Majesty's permission to dissolve the clab. This crowning disaster to the fequease dorée of the Raiatz capital was averted through the interposition of the Grand Dake Vladimir; but the Czar, it is stated, sent for Count Sabouvalóɛ, and laid his commands upon that gentleman to retora Bevon-eighths of his winnings to Frines Demidoff, observing that he might be Tory well Eatleted with having gained forty thensand pounds at a game of cards." It is needless to say that his Majesty's orders were carried out to the letter.
