Gaming During the Last Century.

Walpole. in his Memoirs, describing the
moral condition Of society at that time, says.
CAS- the gaming and extravaganza OF the
Young men of quality was now arrived at
a pitch never heard of, it is well worth
while to give some account of it. They
had a club at one Almack's, in Pail Mall,
where they played only for rouleaus OF t5o
each rouieau; and generally there was
flO 900 in specie on the table. Lord Holland
had paid above 100000 for his two sons
Nor were the manners of the gamesters, or
even their dresses for play, und eservlng
notice. They began by pulling OFF their
embroidered clothes, and put on freize great
coats, or turned their coats inside outward
for luck. They put on pieces of leather (such
az worn by footmen when they clean the
kniyes> TO save their lace ruttles, and to guard
the eyes from the light, and to prevent tumb-
ling their hair, wore high-crowned straw
hats with broad brims, and adorned with
flowers and ribbons; masks TO conceal their
emotions when they played at quinze.
Each gamester had small stand near by
him with large rim, to hold their tea, or n
wooden bowl with an edge of ormolu to hold
their rouleaus. They borrowed great sums
Of Jews at exorbitant premiums. Charles
Fox called his outer room where the Jews
waited till he rose, the Jerusalem Chamber.
His brother Stephen was enormously tat;
George Selwyn said, he was in the right to
deal with Shylocks, as he could give them

Keeping up the Fire.

The Charleston Mercury keeps up the
FIRE in favor of the decisive organization of the
Southern democracy as Southern sectional
party, discarding all further affiliations with
the democracy Of the North. Thus. in late
article upon the subject, our Charleston CO.
temporary says: =,
THE democratic party exists only in the
South. 1t is no longer national party,
WHY should we not accept the true state OF
things and act upon them? As party, it is
a Southern party. and nothing else. Why
should it not turn its back on the North and
act only for the South? Why should not the
South have u sectional candidate for the Pre-
sidency, tomeet the sectional candidate of the
North! Shall sectional organization be
made to plumber AID destroy and shall we
have no organization for our Defence:

A Frightful Scene.

On Wednesday, FIRE was discovered in
the extensive dry -house attached to the tub
and bucket factory of Messrs. Crazy, Hughes
Il Bcebe on the west side of the river. The
building. which is three-story brick, was
full OF cut timber in the process OF drying.
and for some time after it was discovered, no
flames we're seen, but an immense cloud OF
smoke assembled from the roof For few min
utes after the first stream of water was thrown,
the mass of gas and smoke seemed to increase
in volume and density, when suddenly it ig-
nited, the flames burst out in all directions
with an explosion like that of gunpowder,
which swept the platform clean, pitching
those who stood upon it (some fifty persons)
to the ground in mass, distance Of some
thirty feet, but by miracle no person was
killed, although all were somewhat injured.
Seven or eight persons who were standing
close to the wall were terribly burnt.-Col-
ippbls Statesman

A penitentiary Bird Turned Lecturer.

Some months ago, all the prisoners in the
DAYTON Jail made their escape. Among
them was an ingenious, but dishonest per-
son, named Joseph Mckinney, VINO mas no'
been retaken, though several of his compani-
ions were captured He went to Cincinnati
whence he wrote to the Dayton .Iaior an al
fectionate letter of remembrance and conf
dence. and sent his love to the poop lie of the
city which he was obliged to quit: Since then
nothing was heard of him, until he turned
IN in New Madison. Indiana. where he had
been delichting large and fashionable audi
ences, by lectures on his Travels in the
Holy Land" lie so thoroughly gammoned
the innocent people of New Madison, that he
we was invited by the Professors of the Col
lege to repeat his lectures before their stu,
dents. Unfortunately 'minion of the law"
was looking out for the Oriental traveller,
and then he was obliged to conclude his
course of lectures rather precipitately, III or
der to escape.-O. S. JoW.

Western and Southern Travel.

The New Jersey and Camden and Amboy
Railroads have united with the pennsylvania
CeDrrol and Baltimore and Ohio Railroads,
IN their free competition for western travel,
w;,h the New York Central and the New
York and Erie roads. Unusually fast time
!, adopted for the Express Mail trains, which
leave New York, via Jersey City, at A. NJ,
spd6 =. NJ. commencing the | lth instant.
By this route the time taken is thirty hours
from New York to Cincinnati, thirty-six to
Chicago, and forty-six hours to St; Louis;
one hour sooner than by either OF the New
York routes. nv
The Express Mail line for Washington,
New Orleans. and the Atlantic and south
western cities, is changed from 8 A. NJ. to
4. NJ. and with the & p. NJ, from Cort-
landt street, New York, form the great south
erp lines The A. NJ. makes the depar-
ture of the mails and southern passengers
one hour earlier than heretofor", and secures
their arrival in Washington and the cities
South at a like advance.
From Washington for New York, there
will be two daily trains. One leaving at an
early hour, connecting with L A. NJ. from
Philadelphia, and connecting in New York
at about 3 =. NJ; and the other arriving with
the 80 p. VI. from Philadelphia, and arriv-
ing at New York about p. M.-both via
Newark. These arrangements will afford IN
creased accommodations, and will doubtless
secure increased travel.
On the Western road, or "Main Stem" of
the Baltimore and Ohio line. the morning
mail train will start at 30 and 60 through
instead of stopping over at Piedmont, as for
merly. and the Express will start at 4 =. NJ,
instead of 5, as heretofore-both trains max
ing the most extended and thorough connec-
tons 10 and from the West.
From the West the through Express will
arrive at Baltimore at 5 A. NJ, and the
through Mail at 3 p. M-BdH. Am.

spain and Cuba.

Recently, in the Spanish Chamber Of Dep
loo . call having been made for the pro-
duc,ion of the papers relative to the negotia-
.;,ns between the United States, France, and
r,slaud, for the acquisition of Cuba to Anne
The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied
.ha, some Deputies had expressed desire to
'n ~" ,br administration ofCuba improved, and
-, President of the United States expressed
,be same wish. The opinion Of the Presl-
t was, that Spain did not administer Cuba
wall and that the United States. on account
g their higher intelligence, had moral duty
,,fnIfl which was to purchase the island.
~ ,;nyernment could not allow this idea

Ia, .L,rIsred 70 give the inhabitants Of the rs
eth ,""J tbe share they ought to possess in their
i i".n administration, without compro-
~, the ties which unite them to the
mother country.
The hest reply to the representations OF Ger
aim or,t,rs of the United States, was the pros
''or;,v Of the island ofCuba. That the ques-
i;nr Gf the ACQUISITION of the island was impos-
;nr and menacing could not be denied. New
n.,baIe.s the Government declared that it felt
oil the security which its great national re-
-nurces were calculated to inspire. lthad not,
however, rendered insult for insult, AZ that

ZION II had conducted itself with prudence
and dignity. and had not applied for assls-
rance to any other Power. If any other for
Atom Power had offered assistance, the Gov
eminent would have felt grateful, but itwould
NOT have accepted of it, because it did not
think any aid was necessary. As no diplo-
matte documents existed on the question.
which happily was almost terminated the
government hoped NJ. Badia would be salts
fed with the explanations given, and with

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette
WHITE Posi- April llth.-At a Democra-
tic meeting held in Berryville, on Saturday
A. NJ. Earle was nominated for the Legisla-
ture-he will be opposed by Capt. ii. NJ.
Nelson. As they are both popular men we
may expect spirited canvass. Alex. Par
kins delivered an able speech at this place
on Friday, in OPPOSITION to Chas. j. Faulkner.
The cold weather of last week has entirely
destroyed the fruit crop.
The Woodstock Tenth Legion says:-The
cold winds and frosts that have continued
for several days and nights, have it is feared
injured the early fruit-such az peaches,
apricots, and. plums-to considerable e4-
tent. In some localities, we learn, the peach
crop has been almost entirely destroyed,
whilst in others it has suffered but compare
lively little injury. The late fruit has not
been affected at all, so far as we know.
A gentleman named Robert Peters, while
conversing with friend in front Of the City
Hall, Richmond, on Saturday, was acciden-
tally shot by pistol, which was in the poe
ket of Mr.. Perkins The ball took effect in
the fleshy part of Peters leg producing
painful but not dangerous wound. The ball
was found in the boot of the injured person.
The youths who escaped from the Rich
mond Jail sometime since, have all been re-
captured.
The Woodstock Tenth Legion has been
enlarged and otherwise greatly improved.
