ENGLISH GANSLgSes HOUSES.
Extract of letter from England.


It was at much earlier hour in the morn
ing, than you sober New Yorkers are famili
ar with, that c. and myself put our
selves into hackney coach and ordered the
driver to set US down at No. -, Pail Mall
After knocking at the door very significant
ly, we heard some chains let down and bolts
withdrawn, and we were admitted into a
hall, at the further extremity of which was
an iron door, with small view-hole in the
centre. Through this we were reconnoiter-
ed for minute or two, when that door was
also opened, and we walked into an anti
room, where three men were sitting at a ta
bic, engaged, as it would appear, in reading
newspapers. c. being pretty we'll
known, presented me as his friend, and we
were then conducted by one of the men up
flight of tairs, through two other strong
doors, and ushercd into a splendid suit OF "a
partments filled with gaming tables and
gamesters. Before describe the play, let
me explain the meaning of these bolts, bars
and precautions.
Gaming is, in this country, expressly for
hidden b, law The Secretary OF State has
issued imperative commands to the police
magistrates to suppress the public gaming
houses In several instances informations
have been made on oath, warrants granted,
and the Bow-street justices, with hosse of
constables, made their way by stratagem or
force, into the houses, and sent all the in
mates, without respect of persons,' to the
watch-house, and some of them afterwards
to the tread mill. Hence these numerous
precautions and fortifcations on the part OF
the keepers. Yet they are not always suffi-
cient to Illustrate the cunning of the Bow
| street officers These fellows have some
times contrived the most ingenious methods
of getting into the houses. One of them, in
the disguise of Russian officer of distinc-
tion with fierce whiskers, ,mustachois, spurs,
&c. presented himself at the door, and with
broken unintelligible English, and now and

TOO MANY LOVERS.

When heart ig contented with ono little Love,
No pleasures, no follies can tempt him to rove;
In storm and in sunshine that one love will live,
Out-weghing all else that the wide world can
give.
But when one little heart hrts with too many
loves,
Each Cupid wild little wanderer proves
His smile has no charm,--his resentment no
sting
His faith is more light than butterfy's wing.
When too many loves sport in beauty's fair bow
ers,
They scatter the blossoms of too many flowers;
They revcl mid roses all day, but they leave
No fragrance, no bloom, to refresh them at eve;
But when beauty admits only one little guest,
He flies to one rose never needing the rest,
That one rose may wther, yet sweet to the last,
Twill scre for his pillow, when summer is
past.

sides of deep wild glen, an Unexpected little
curling cloud of smoke, which seemed to slip
out as if by accident, from under the firing

his eye, and acting like magic on his enrap-

steps to the secret spot, where pushing a

certain whether it became his individual
part to act on the offensive or defenslve.--
The pause, however, was of short duration,
when the man of mountain dew who was
a sturdy mountaineer, seemed suddenly to
recollect himself, and stealing first look
at the door, and fixing a stern enquiring eye
on the intruder, whispered in suppressed
tone, "Tid ony pody see her comm in !"-

this into symptoms of fear, and felt great

STORY OF A MAN-SLAYER,

Of all the crimes which man is capable
of committing, surely that which deprives a
fellow mortal of life, is the most dreadful,
and leaves upon the soul OF the miserable
perpetrator of it the deepest and the most
incurabe wound. No time can wash away
the stains of blood from the murders memo
ry,-no lapse Of years can assuage the an
gush which he endures; day rolls on after
day, but still his miseries remain, and the
sweet balm of forgetfulness, which drops in
mercy upon human Affections, is denied by
Heaven to him. 1t is from experience. that l
speak thus,-yes. from ea1erience. But
start not, reader, for trust that the crime
of murder, of foul and deliberate murder, is
not chargeable against my soul. True it is
that the hand which is now tracing these
lines-that hand took away the life OF tel
low mortal: yet when you have read all,
perhaps you will not thnk-l trust IN God
you will not think-that it is the hand OF
murderer. But often, do my own thoughts
vary as to the nature of my guilt,-often 40
l think that the crime which l committed
was murder in its most hideous shape
that I. acted the part of base and coward
ly assassin,-and that by the laws. both Of
God and of man, my life ought to be yielded
up on the scaffold. Then it is that the
awful announcement of the Almighty-blood
for blood-hashes across my soul. and am
driven to the very brink of insanity. Such
as nv crime is, however, viii disclose Il

THE WHITE MOUNTAIN SLIDE.
From the Boston Galaxy.

No chariots of fire on the clouds career'd;
No warrior arm with its falchion reard;
No death angels trump o'er the ocean was
blown;
No mantle of wrath DER the heaven was thrown,
No armies of light with their banners of flame
On neighing steeds-through the sunset came,
orleaping from space appeared;
No earthquakes reeled--no thunderer stormed;
NO fetterless dead DER the bright sky swarmed;
No voices in Heaven were heard
But an everlasting hill was torn
From its eternal base-and borne,
In all its shaggy verdure drest.
To where--the innocent are at rest!
Slowly it came in its mountain wrath,
and the forest vanished before its path;
And the rude cliffs howed--and the waters
The Wilmingtonian, and Delaware advertiser., 1826-10-05

And the living were buried, while over their
head.
They heard the full march of their foe as he
sped
And the valley of life was the tomb of the
dead!

Young Casabianca. a boy about thirteen
years old, son to the Admiral of the Orient
remained at his post lin the Battle of the
Nile1 after the ship had taken fire, and all
theguns had been abandoned, and perished ir
the explosion of the vessel, when the flames
had reached the powder.
CASABIANCA.
BIZ Mrs. Hemans.
The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but him had fed;
The fame that lit the battles wreck,
Shone round him o'er the dead.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud, though child-like form.
The flames rolled on-he would not go,
Without his fathers word;
The father, faint in death below,
His voice no longer heard.
He called aloud: SAY, Father say,
lfyet my task is donep
He knew not that the chieftain lay
Unconscious of his son.
Speak, Father' once again he cried,
IF l may yet begone'
And-but the booming shots replied,
And fast the flames rolled on.
Upon his brow he felt their breath,
And in his waving hair,
And looked from that lone post Of death,
In still yet brave despair.
And shouted but once more aloud,
'My Father! must stayp
While o'er him fast, through sail and shroud,
The wreathing fire made way
They wrapt the ship in splendor wild,
They caught the flag on high,
And streamed above the gallant child,
Like banners in the sky.
There came burst of thunder sound
The boy-oh! where was he'
Ask Of the winds, that far around
With fragments strewed the sea!
With mast, and helm, and pennon fair,
That we'll had borne their part:
But the noblest thing which perished there,
Was that young faithful heart!
