" A r )se by any other name woul d smell as sweet." -0 doubt of it, but would any other name Invite so many to smell it ? We think not. The rose has a good name,—there is everything in a name, but it must be a name acquired by good service. Many Of the leading merchants and manufacturers in this kingdom have earned a good name for whatever they sell or make, the public con- Adence in their names as a guarantee for the quality of whatever they sell or make, is settled. Hu ndreds may imitate them, but there 4 something repugnant to well-regulated minds in all imitations all attempts to profit by another man's enterprise What gave Memo. E. MOSES and SON a name ? Why, their originating the system of " economy in dress," not by making cheap clothes, as Cheap clothes are generally made, not by using damaged materials, al , d cutting all sots of ways, making clothes of all shapes but the tight, to eke out the piece of cloth, but by combining with cheapness the best material, the best workmanship, the newest designs, and that peculiar art of cutting out for the human figure that placed a toady-made coat of theirs upon a higher footin g than three-fourths of the clothes made to measure by fashionable tailors, and many Years' trial have proved that they deserved the confidence of the Public which they have so completely secured. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have now enormous quantities of every article of apparel adapted for all classes—the most exquisitely finished articles for Men of fashion • neat, sound, durahle, and novel garments of all kinds for the middle classes some thousands of the most respectable, but hardwearing, cl,,th,s for working men, and all at prices that the Dttblic would think impossible, but for the simple fact, that there t hey are with the prices in plain figures, for any one who chooses to take them, and not only at their great Mart in Aldgate and the Nineries, and their enormous West-and branch establishment in ziew Oxford-street, but also at their country branches in Sheffield and Bradford, where there are also hundreds of sporting dresses of *very appropriate material at half the price charged by ordinary tailors for worse articles.

Eighty-six, Oxford-street, and Thirty-six Gracechurch-street, are Tailoring Establishments, under the direction of HYAM and Co., who are pronounced, by universal consent, to be the best and the cheapest tailors to the kingdom. 86, Oxford-street, and 36, Grace church•street, are distinguished for beauty and durability of cloth and fancy material—two principal points in the manufacture of good dress. The West-end and City Establishments of Ilyam and Co. are also conspicuous for elegance of cut on an improved iymmetrical system, combining ease, exactness, and elegance, with perfect adaptation to the figure. The employment of French and German cutters, with the best English designers, will at once account for the recommen dations referred to at Hyam and Co.'s Establishments. 86, Oxford-street, and 36, Gracechurch-street, are the cheapest houses in the trade, supplying, as they do, the best dress for the very lowest prices. Ilyam and Co were the " masters" (so to speak) of the new system, a , d are still the promoters of its equitable work ings, at 86, Oxford-street, West-end, and 36, Graceckurch-street, City. v, here an extensive, varied, and novel assortment of Gentle men's and Youths' Attire is at present on sale.

THE NEW ITALIAN B ILLET AT CItEMORNE.—The season advances, and so does Cremorne in al! that is exeit ing, amusing, and interesting. The director, having lately succe?cled so well in stirring up the water by his naval fetes, has called in to his aid and assistance the three other ele ments. and has produced a new ballet, entitled Harlequin and the Four Elements; or, Earth, Air, nd Water. The adaptation is by Deulin, from the Italian school; the music by I.aacson. It abounds with rich incident, with 'b ro ad farce, and magical c h a n g es of scene and character, w hich entitle it to a position among the first representations of ita kiad. BeisToe, Auu 28.—The supplies of English wheat, principally new, are good, and prices, both for new and old, about 6d to is per quarter under last week's rates. Foreign is in limited request, at 13 to 23 per quarter re duction. At this day's market English new wheat :etched from 36s to 40s per imperial quarter; foreign, white, 3Ss to 42i per 4801 b; ditto, red, extra fine quali ties, 36s to 38s; ditto, fine ditto, 34s to 365; ditto, hard, 30s to 32. Flour is somewhat scarce, and hence iu betty r demand, at former prices, English seconds bringing from 2S, t 303 per sack; American, swe:4, 20s to 21s per barrel. Barley, oats, and other spring corn are held at. declining values. Barley, English matting, 26s to 28s per imperial quarter; ditto, and foreign grinding, 23s to 24s per 4001 b.

The average for the week are—Wheat 37a 2d; oats, 21s; barley, 24s sd. BIRMINGHAM, Auc. 28.—At Gloucester and Worces ter markets on the 23d the wheat trade was again dull, and the few sales made were at a further decline of Is per quarter. Barley, 6d to Is per quarter cheaper. Oats scarce, and fully as dear. Beans and peas, both 6d to Is per quarter lower. During the present week, the transactions in wheat have again been on the most limited scale. English nominally unaltered. Foreign offering lower, without finding buyers. Barley taken in retail, at about former prices. Old oats continue scarce, and maintain their value. New can only be disposed of by submitting to a reduction of 6d to is per quarter. At this day's market there was a large supply of new wheat, and the turn was in favour of the buyer, but we make no alteration in our quotations. Old English and foreign quite unsaleable. Barley taken in retail at about the currency of this day se`nnight. 01d oats main tained their value, but new were is per quarter lower. Beans and peas declined Is to is 6d per quarter. GLASGOW, Arc. 27.—We had more or less rain since our last, with a warm breezy atmosphere, however. Coastwise and from Ireland the arrivals continue un important.

There was rather more disposition to purchase on the part of dealers during the past week, but the sales to consumers were principally restricted to their immediate wants. This day's market was moderately well attended, and there was a fair inquiry for most articles, at last week's currency.

Tee, CHAIRMAN observed that the directors could not prepare their report until after the meeting of the Eastern Counties Company, and since that meeting there had not been time to print the document. The SECRETARY then read the following report: — •'The usual half-yearly statements of receipts and ex penditure, as audited to the 30th of June last, have al ready been circulated. " The accounts published by the Eastern Counties Company, which have also been circulated among the shareholders, exhibit a small diminution in the receipts upon the Norfolk Railway during the last six months, as compared with the corresponding period of last year. Your directors are not,aware ho this result has been arrived at, but they are happy to state that since the commencement of the present half-year there has been a steady increase in the traffic. There are other matters in these accounts affecting this company, of which your directors feel that they have just reason to complain; but as it is evident from the observations of the chair man at the Eastern Counties meeting that these accounts are not approved by their directors, who do not appear to have been consulted in their preparation, and for the reasons which will be stated immediately, it is thought desirable to abstain from further observation upon them in this report; they have, however, directed a letter to be addressed to the Eastern Counties Company on this subject. "In conformity with the resolution passed at the adjourned half-yearly meeting, the directors lost no time in putting themselves in communication, through their chairman, with the Eastern Counties board on the subject of the subsisting agreement between the two companies. Various communications, both personal and written, ensued, in which the inexpediency of bringing the question of the amalgamation before the Eastern Counties proprietors at the present time was strongly urged by the chairman of that company, accompanied by assurances of the friendly feeling of their board, and their disposition to do all in their power to develop the traffic of the district. Your directors, believing that no practical injury could arise to the interests of the Nor folk shareholders by the delay of a few months, resolved to wait and see the result of the recent changes in the Eastern Counties direction, and how far the promises held out to them were likely to be realised. They are happy in being able to state that a greatly improved and more cordial feeling has since animated the counsels of the Eastern Counties Company towards the Norfolk Company, and they are bound to say that much has been done by them during the last few months by in creased local accommodation towards bringing the re sources of the Norfolk line into action, and, although much remains to be done, the effect upon the traffic has been most beneficial. " Under these circumstances, your directors have considered it their duty to consult several of the largest shareholders as to the expediency of taking further steps at the present time under the resolution of the last meeting, and their opinion has been strongly expressed in favour of acquiesing in the wish of the Eastern Coun board that the existing agreement should remain undis turbed for the present. Your directors concur in their view, under the conviction that time and fair play alone are wanting to develop the resources of the line, and that every day's experience will tend to bring its value more prominently forward, and to dissipate the erroneous im pressions that have prevailed respecting it. "If the meeting should approve of the course thus suggested it will be understood that the directors are to be at liberty to act upon the resolution of the 27th of March last at any time when the interests of the com pany may appear to them to require it. They hope, however, that the necessity for doing so will not arise : and, so long as the Eastern Counties Company pursue their present course of friendly and enlightened policy towards this company, they may depend upon receiving the cordial co-operation and assistance of the Norfolk board. " The subject of the mortgage debt of this company has engaged the serious attention of your directors, the unsettled state of the company rendering it impossible to renew the securities falling due, and they have thus been placed in a most painful state of embarrassment by being suddenly called upon to pay up a large portion of the capital which could not be calculated upon, and which they have no means of meeting without obtaining further powers from Parliament. It is proposed, there fore at the present meeting, to take a resolution from the proprietors, authorising an application for au Act in the next session for creating a new stock, bearing a g uaranteed interest not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum, to be placed in the same position of priority as the ex isting mortgage debt, and to be applied solely for the liquidation of such debt. When it is considered that the sum required to pay the interest on this debt does not amount to one-fifth of the present gross receipts of the company, the sufficiency of the security which the com pany have to offer will be apparent, and your directors do not doubt that, armed with this power, they will have no difficulty in meeting all the demands that may be made upon them. It is intended by the same Bill to regulate the capital of the company generally, particu larly with reference to the rights of the various classes of preference shares. " The Act for authorising the Beecles and Halesworth Railway by an independent company has received the Royal assent. " The directors wish to have powers from this meeting to make such traffic arrangements with this company as will ensure a speedy completion of a line which is likely to add materially to the revenue of the Norfolk Company," Mr. PETO said that in addressing them for the first time as their chairman, he thought it due to them and himself that he should state the circumstances under which he had taken that position. Immediately after their last meeting he receivod an urgent request from his friend Major Tindall, who was then their chair man, which was cordially seconded by every member of the board, that in the present position of the com pany he should become their chairman. He felt that as a resident in the district through which this rail way passed, and as possessing some practical know ledge of the working of their line, and of railways generally, if he could be of service to the company he would also be doing good service to the public by en deavouring to retrieve their property from the position in which it was then placed. In the first instance, at the request of his colleagues, he wrote a letter to the chairman of the Eastern Counties Company, re quiring from him an explanation of the policy of that company, with a view to their conducting their operations in cordial concurrence with that company, or that they might at once be placed in the position of acting independently. A series of correspondence and personal interviews followed, and be thought it due to Mr. Waddington, the chairman of the Eastern Counties Railway, to state that that gentleman met him in the most frank and business-like manner. Mr. Wadding ton expressed an anxious desire that an opportunity should be allowed for ascertaining more clearly the position of the district by the proprietors of both companies. The directors of the Norfolk Railway considered that proposition, awl having taken into their counsel several of their largest proprietors, they determined that the wisest course was to accede to the proposal of Mr. Waddington. He would point out to them what had been the result of this better state of things. He bad a return from the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway, showing that during the first six months of the present year there was a small increase as compared with their receipts for the corresponding six months of last year of about 1,3001. Up to August 18 a gross increased receipt was shown of more than 5 per cent. upon the receipts of last year. He had also a return of the gross receipts at the prin cipal stations of the company for six t months of he last and of the present year. He found the total re ceipts at the Norwich station for six months of last year were 26,2001., and for the present year 29,0001.; showing an increase of about 2,8001. He found at Yarmouth the receipts for last year were 7,968/. ; and for this year 9,6791.; while at Lowestoft the receipts last year were 3,6171.; and this year they were 5,4151. The last amount, he might observe, did which include the receipts for the cattle and goods aich were brought over by the Northern Steam-packet Company. He thought these results were so far sa tisfactory. He stated to them at their last meeting his confidence in their position. They bad an income of about 120,0001., and the simple question was, at what rate could their traffic be worked ? They had a large traffic to give to other concerns, for during the last year he found they had passed over the bar rier at Brandon to the Eastern Counties Company ,cross receipts exceeding 101,500/.—(Hear, hear.) lie need not say that the cost of working railways was now a matter pretty well defined. He stated, when he last addressed them, tbat he considered the expense of working the Eastern Counties line was unjustifiably great, and that opinion had been ac quiesced in by Mr. Waddington, the present chair man of 'the Eastern Counties Company. Indeed, the reduction which had been made during the put half yeari by the Eastern Counties Company clearl y showed the accuracy of his statement. Mr. er ) Gooch, the locomot ive su p erintendent of the ast Counties line—than whom he did not know a more practical, talented, or energetic man in the po sition ho occupied—had stated be saw no reason why, within two years, the working expenses of the Eastern Counties line should not be reduced to the same amount as that of other companies. The whole of the Eastern C o u nti es rolling stock w as now in a , high state of efficiency compared with what it NM when Mr. Gooch succeeded to his present sismatioa ; He (the chairman) considered that the Norfolk Com pany had great reason to complain of the printed statements of accounts published by the Eastern Counties Company. He was most desirous to main- ' tain the good feeling which existed between the two companies, but he regretted that the Eastern Coun ties directors bad not communicated with himself or his colleagues before they published their statement, thet mutual explanations might have been given. Mr. Waddington, the chairman of the Eastern Coun ties Company, acknowledged in his speech the other day that the Norfolk Company's trains were charged at the same rate of milage as the Eastern Counties. Now, surely, as in their district coke could be ob tained at a very low price, and their trains carried much less dead weight than those running near Lon don, they might be and ought to be worked at much less cost. He had, with the consent of Mr. Wad de-gton, placed four locomotive engines on the Nor• folk line at his own expense, in order to demonstrate the fact that a light traffic could be carried on e a n t g a in s e m s a w ll er c e os e t B a r s ry c i o n m g p o ar n ed o w e it t h heavy traffic. c v atar iex p T en h d es i e . tore of less than 101 b, of coke per mile, while the Norfolk Company were charged at the average of the through traffic with 261 b. or 271 b. per mile.— (Hear.) He also considered that the Norfolk Com pany was charged excessively high for maintenance of way. It must be remembered that they had a large extent of single line, they had gravel in every cut ting, and ran through a singularly favourable coun try, and he thought they ought not to be charged au equal amount with a road running through the fens, and injured by the heavy traffic nearer London. His own conviction was that their line could, by itself', be worked at a profit. He believed there was no occasion for discouragement or _hopelessness, but he recommended them to maintain a due appreciation of the value of their own property, and not to be induced to give it way by instalments, which he must say, with all possible respect for those who put them forth, were not based upon truth. There were some ques tions of account open between the Eastern Counties and the Norfolk Company involving a consider able amount. Those questions had been re ferred to Mr. Quilter on behalf of the Eastern Counties Company and to himself (the chair man) on behalf of the Norfolk Company. They were proceeding harmoniously in their investi gation, and he hoped that in two or three weeks every item would be closed. He considered, ' with reference to their arrangements with the Eastern Counties Company, that they ought not to be charged with interest upon stations and plant which had passed out of their hands, and which they were not using. The total amount received by the Norfolk Company for the sale of surplus land seemed to have been 9,5221. 17s. 6d., and out of that sum they had paid off a mortgage-bond of 4,0001., and had made various payments for debts carrying interest to the amount of 9,4691. ss. 3d. The directors had re duced the mortgage debt by 17,0001. He had already stated that their income might be taken at 120,0001. per annum, and with reference to their prospects for the futiare, he might point to the cer tainty of a large increase to their traffic from the ex ertions being made on the eastern coast with regard to the fishing trade. At Yarmouth, within two years, thirty-six boats, for the deep seafishing had been placed on the station, and the produce was brought up to London. At Lowestoft nine fishing-boats were regularly employed, and their catch was sent to town daily. The experiment had been tried of sending off a steamer from Lowestoft to the fishing-ground every day to bring the cargoes for conveyance to London by railway instead of sending them round by cutters. For the first four or five weeks the steamboat did not pay her expenses, but she was now earning upwards of 30/. a week—the cost of maintaining the boat being 151. a week—and the traffic brought to the line exceeded 3,0001. a year. A company had been formed, without any responsibility attaching to the Norfolk Railway proprietors, for establishing a com munication between Lowestoft and the European States north of the Texel, and the result had been that traffic exceeding 6,000/. had during the last year been brought to the two lines of railway. He was satisfied, also, that when the railways projected in Norway were completed they would obtain a large additional amount of traffic. There was a branch line of railway contemplated which would necessarily add to the business of the Norfolk Company. An extension line was to be carried to Halesworth, the enable capital being provided by the resident gentry and landed proprie proprietors,proprietors t o them the r to eenctteorrs intoh had to tragic ffi a s e k the ar rangement with the proprietors of that line. He con sidered that the preference stock, as to the validity of which some doubts had been entertained, should be placed upon an unquestionable basis, and a re solution with that object should be submitted to the meeting. He begged to move that the report be adopted. Major COURT did not think they were in a position to receive and adopt the report, because that report had not been delivered to the shareholders previously to the meeting, as was, he believed, required by Act of Parliament. He considered that if a branch railway was to be established, as had been intimated by the chairman, the project ought to be submitted to the shareholders, who should determine upon its expe diency. He protested against the accounts being received, unless they were thoroughly investigated by the auditors. Mr. HARTEY congratulated the proprietors on the accession of Mr. Peto to the office of chairman of their board, for he believed that gentleman, from his character, talent, and honour, would do much towards bringing the Norfolk Railway Company out of the slough of despond in which it had long been.--(Hear, hear.) He believed there were elements of prosperity in the company, and that if the management of their affairs was entirely in their own hands they might have a dividend of two or three per cent. The CHAIRMAN said, on consulting the solicitor to the company, he was informed that there was nothing in the Act of Parliament which rendered it obligatory on the board of directors to publish their report before they met the proprietors. With regard to the branch line to which he had referred, it would not be attended with the expense of one farthing to the Norfolk Com pany, for the people of Suffolk had raised 150,0001. for its establishment. The motion for the adoption of the report was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN moved the following resolution : " That the directors be authorised to apply to Parlia ment in the next session for an Act to authorise the creation of a new preferential sto ck, bearing a guaran teed interest not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum, pos sessing the same priority as the existing mortgage debt, and to be applied solely in liquidation of such debt, an d for the general regulation of the capital of the company, and to sanction traffic arrangements with the Hales worth, Beccles, and liaddiscoe Railway Company." The CHAIRMAN stated, in reply to a ques ti on, t h at the Act of Parliament which they Boug ht t o o b ta i n wo uld extinguish all borrowin g p owers, an d substi tute the creation of a perpetual preference stock. The motion was then agr ee d t o , an d , a vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman, the meeting separated. CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAIL- WAY COMPANY. ButGaTosr, AUG. 28.—At the bench of magistrates to-day (present C. Carpenter and Montague Scott, Esqs.), William Gregory and George Stallard, were charged with conspiring together to defraud the Lon don and Brighton Railway Company, under singular circumstances. Mr. George Faithfull, jun., the com pany's solicitor, attended to prosecute the case, assisted by Mr. W. Acton, superintendent of the company's police. Mr. Lamb attended for Stallard. Gregory was not forthcoming; and it was stated that before service of the summons at his residence he had left the country, and was now in Paris. Mr. Faithfull, in opening the case, said this was • charge of conspiracy against the defendants to defraud the railway company of their legal and proper fare. The company issued excursion tickets from London to Brighton, taking persons down and up for 3s. Od. The ordinary fare from London to Brighton alone by Parliamentary train was 4s. 2d., and by the ordinary third-class carriage ss. • 4d. This was an important consideration in connexion with this case. By taking a third-class excursion ticket in Lon don a person on arriving at Brighton might take the advantage, if the weather should be wet, of exchanging his ticket for an excess second class ticket on the payment of Is. That fact was as well known to parties in London about the station as it was in Brighton. Among the parties who waited about the Brighton station was the de fendant Stallard, who was in the habit of baying tickets from excursionists w id not intendo re- turn, or get them to g ive him ho tickets which h e would Brighton to Lond on a t a t t h h e at e p o a m r : sell to persons goi n g from the consequen v c a e y w in a g s very small profi t, and ties often wen t to London without pany a single halfpenny for travelling. I n order to esta blish the present charge the company had taken means to catch both buyer and seller. Gregory cpur chased of Stallard a third lass excursion ti c k e t, an d exc hanged it for an excess second-class ticket by the payment of is., and had gone to London'. a second class carriage for Is., the orlin °large of the com papy fo,r SIIQII jouplev b e ing 3. This was, to all John Bisb, inspector of police,: in the company's service, who stated that he had been a ticket-collec t the company about eight--months, and that he . .vas well acquainted with the diaerent kinds of tickets in use and issued by the company. The excursion tickets were distinguished from the others by having two colours, whilst a ticket by an ordinary train bad only one colour. On Sunday, the 10th August, in consequence of instructions, he went to Brighton, and saw Gregory at the Colonnade Inn, Queen's-road, Who beckoned to Stallard. Stallard then went ao Gregory, and after exchaeging a few words with each other, Gregory handed some money to Stallard, who, in return, handed to Gr.-gory a ticket. Witness knew by the colours (red and green) that it was a third-class excursion ticket. Gregt,7 then went to the station and appeared as if he was 1/4going by the six o'clock train. Instead of doing so, ,however, he returned with a friend to the inn, where Le remained nearly an hour. Witness did not lose :AO of him the whole time, and consequently knew that he did not purchase another ticker. He followed hini to the station again, and saw him go to the booking-offieei put down a third class excursion ticket, with a shilling, and heard him ask the clerk to exchange it for a second. class excess ticket. The clerk did so, aid he then went to the platform and got into the care riage. Witness followed him, having previously given some information to Mr. Wright, the ticket col lector. Before the train left for London Mr. Wright collected Gregory's ticket, and witness, who was in the same carriage, saw that it was a second-class ex cess ticket. He rode to London with Gregory ; and in consequence of what witness told Mr. Smith, ticket collector at London, the latter inquired of Mr. Gregory his name and address. The reply was that his name was Gregory, and that he resided at 28, Camelford-street, Brighton. In cross-examination by Mr. Lamb, the witness said that when Stallard left Gregory, he did not know where he went to. He could not tell how much money passed; it was silver. George Wright, inspector of tickets at the Brighton station, said he had known Gregory some time, and that on the evening of the 10th of August he took the second class excess ticket from him in a train which went to London. The witness Bish was in the carriage, and in consequence of what be was told he had kept the ticket in his possession ever since. By exchanging a third-class excursion ticket, and paying ls., he could obtain that ticket, but inno other way. Mr. Faithfull—That is the case. Mr. Lamb then addressed the magistrates for the defence. The case, he said, must fall to the ground, notwithstanding the strong speech of his friend Mr. Faithful', who tried hard to make it appear that this was a case of conspiracy to cheat the railway com pany. Why had they not brought forward the ticket alleged to have been sold by Stallard to Gee gory ? To establish a charge of conspiracy that was a most essential link in the chain of evidence. Again, there was no evidence of any contract or agreement between Gregory and Stallard. Bish saw them conversing together, and a ticket was handed over ; but where was that ticket ? They could not produce it, and if they had produced it, they must have shown that there was a bargain between the parties before they could establish a conspiracy. Again, there was no proof that Gregory did not come down from London himself in the morning. If a contract were made on a Sunday it would not be binding, for Sunday in law was a dies non. Stal lard did not even accompany Gregory to the station to see whether Gregory obtained an exchange ticket. Mr. Faithful' had not attempted to prove that the tickets were not transferable, and how a charge of conspiracy could lie against the defendant he could not understand. The evidence might be inferential, but there was nothing positive. Mr. Carpenter said he had no doubt that a great traffic was carried on in the sale of railway tickets, which enabled persons to travel at greatly reduced prices, and he did not wonder that the Brighton Rail way Company should have taken the matter up ; end he believed that this system of traffic in tickets would soon be effectually checked. He was by no means prepared to say that if a case of this kind were clearly made out to the satisfaction of the bench, that the in dividual who had done such an act would not be liable to take his trial at the assizes ; but in the present case there was no proof that the defendant Gregory had not come from town on that day, and the evidence with regard to the third , class ticket—that ticket not being produced—was only inferential. The bench did not think they could carry the case any further, but it would be open fur the company to indict the defen dants at the assizes if they chose. Mr. Faithfull—Will you bind the defendant over to appear at the assizes ? Mr. Carpenter—We cannot do that, as we do not think the case sufficiently strong against him. The third-class ticket ought to have been produced, and as that has not been done we dismiss the case. Mr. Faithfull—The company are determined to put a stop to this practice, and they will certainly indict both defendants at the assizes. The parties then left the court. A RAFFLE FOR A NEGRO. In my tour through the Southern States I have met with many amusing incidents, but do not remem ber anything that created so great an excitement for the time being as a " Dego raffle" in the town of in the state of Mississippi. Mr. -, the owner of the boy, having a note to pay that day, and not having the wherewith to do it, was compelled to do what be gladly would not have done. The boy to be raffled was a smart, intelligent lad, of about 18 years of age. He went by the name of "Bill." There were 80 chances, with "three dice," at 10 dolls. per chance. I was present when the affair came off; there remained once chance, which I took and gave to Bill, upon the condition that he would throw the dice himself, and " shake like oxen." Bill rolled his eyes in an as tonished and astonishing manner, and after a hearty wha ! wha! wha! in which he displayed two fright ful rows of ivory, opening a mouth " like the break of day from east to west, and with a low bow, said, "I'll try, massa." As may be supposed, the scene became highly exciting. The raffle commenced. Bill looked on unconcerned at anything but the idea of leaving his old master. When the chances were all raffled off but the last Bill took the box ; previous to his throwing, however, he was offered 100 dolls. for his chance, the highest throw yet made being 46, which stood " a tie " between two individuals ; but Bill was no "Compromise man 1 . 0 he re fused the offer, saying, "D e w h o l e h og or noffin," and made his first thro w , w hi c h was t hi r t een , his second throw was sixteen; Bill stopped, scratched his head, threw again, and up came eighteen. It was declared off that " Bill was high and free," and such a shout I never heard in my life. Bill hardly knew what to do with himself. In a moment, however, be asked the whole party to drink, and no man in --, 'tie said, ever refused an invitation of the kind except one, and he died soon after ; so says tradition. Bill's success induced him to try another speculation of the " same sort," believing that he could do, as a free man, as much as he had before done. He proposed to set himself up again in a " raffle," and, as he had won before, he thought it would be no 'more than fair that he should put the price at 600 dolls. this time. The chances were soon taken, Bill reserving but one chance to himself. He pocketed 500 dolls., and the sport again commenced. Bill's original owner and himself were the two hi g h es t aga i n , and in throwing for Bill lost. It pr ove d a very f o rtunate speculation for Bill and his master both. The master had made 800 dolls. clear, and Bill had cleared 500, dolls., and remained with hi s ki n d mas t e r.
