GAM1NG-HoUsE PRoFITs.-A letter, in
the Wolner Zeitung, gives an account of
the profits of the gaming bank at Ham
burg. one Of the most celebrated of the
German watering places, at which gam
ing is allowed by the government. The
shares in the bank are of the amount of
five hundred fforins each, and on these
the following dividends have been paid:
In September, l847, a dividend of a
forins lin lS4S, two dividends-one of
SIS forms, and the other of SO forms; in
1851, two dividends-one of Ill forms,
and the other of ~ horins; in 1852, two
dividends-on of 70 forins, and the
other of 81 forins in 1853, two divi-
dends-one of "a forms, and the other
Of 100 forms and in March, 1854, one
dividend of 133 fiorins, another being
due in September. This, however, is
only part of the profit made out OF the
frequenters of these German resorts.
Before the shareholders receive anything,
the government receives a large rent
from them, as its shares of the plunder;
and all the expenses of the costly estab-
ments in which the gaming takes place
have to be betrayed.

ing to the Lafayette lind. Journal, the
prisoners in the Jail at that place have q
jolly good time every day. 1t says:
Through the kindness Of the TAILOR
they have been provided with violin, and
one ofthe number being good player they
have frequent cotillon parties or stag
dances, which have the advantage of
being select, without that stiffness and
formality peculiar to such entertainments
in 'higherscircles.' They have recently
made valuable acquisition to their num-
Der. An itinerant Snowman, who had
fallen into the clutches of the law, and,
owing to the tightness Of the money
market, was unable to pay the cost, and
was Gagged to satisfy the insulted dignity
Of the State. He got up an exhibition
the first evening of his incarceration, and
has continued them ever since, to the
amusement of his companions.
