A little volume has recently been pub- lished in London, entitled “My Haunts.” which contains some very light and agreeable reading, The following de scription of a celérated gambling house, would doubtless apply in several respects to many of asimilar character in our ewn city, so far as its fittings up and its hab- tues are concerned. To be sure we have no ‘“‘brokea-down noblemen,” or “‘idiot- ie guardsmen” as hangers-on at ou fashionable hells, but there is a class of ancient ‘‘merchant princes’ and ‘fasi young mea”’ who onl eam ly the places of their more aristecratic Ruropean pro- totypes But to the sketch. “Come, we have reached the aristo- cratic neighborhood of St. James serect. and yonder house—that one with tie bright fanlight ever the door—is the seene of our intended visit. De you ses those two pelice ocnstables, ome on either side of the acorway? Some years ago the son of an eminent statesman, reeent- ly deeeased, lost a very large sum 0! money in one of those places, and since that time the doors of all suspected gam- ing houses have been watched by the po- lice. They are supposed to take an ac- curate account of the number of persons who enter, their style, amd apparent po sition in life. “They wish us ‘good night’ as we pull the ivory knob communicating with « spring bell that does not make the usvai clatter, but sounds oaly once; and for that ‘good night’ you will, if you win, give half a crown as you emerge into the cold grey light of morning. The ser- geant passing on his rounds will see you slip the coim into the haad of his subor dina‘e, will give you ‘good morning’ os yeu pass, end, in all probability, be paid rpese of increasing his income, or even for the make of <ationenk. He has to pees the house on his way home from his elnb, and having the herror of going to bed, looks in merely to pass another hour. “Ofa different stamp is the m=n next to him—the old militaire, with tho tightly- buttoned frook-coat, well clipped gray whiskers, and osretully brusbed hat. They call him ‘the General,’ for ire is an old — with a small an- nuity, to which he largely adds by a systematic methodof play. He is me ular attendant here; is never ruffed or put ouc; and ie reckoned to win, on an average, three sovereigns anight. I herve met him in the day time, walking with a graceful, attractive leoking girl, spper- ently hs daughter er niece, and T have wendered whether she had any notion of her companion’s on ped avocation. « Oue more sketch, and I have fiwished. « That heavy-eyed, dissipated lorking man, in the brown great-coat, was once one of the gayest spirits at Cambridge. Brought up to the church, he conceived ® violent disgust for a quiet life, and de termined on entering the army. Play, that dreadfal demi: which had cast a cloud over his otherwise brilliant oollege career, pursued him still: he beaame ir- retrievably involved, and was at length compelled to sell his commission. Sinoe then he has existed, ence can scarcely tell how; but frem the terms on whici: he appears to live with the proprietors, and from the fact that he is always seen about here—the first to risk his few abil- lings at the commencement of the even- ing—he is believed to be an employe, or what is commonly termed a ‘ bonnet’ of the establishment. * Occasionally—perhaps once in ste months—there is a furious kmoeking . s all pro heard et this outer daor.

We find ourselves faced by a second door, paselled with iron, and covered | with green baie, with a small aperture in the centre, at which a gleaming eye appears. JI am recognized: en iron bar is swung back, two bolts withdrawn, and haying asceaded a flight of most softly carpeted stairs, we stand within the walls of a London gambling heuse. “You will observe that the first floor is that portion of the house in which tailor’s or bootmaker’s shop.

Randolph, in fast declining health, reached Philadelphia, whither he went to take passage from that port. He was too late for the Liverpool packet. He exposed himself to the inclemency of the weather, took cold, which aggravatal his diseave, and hastened its fatal termi- nation. He was put to bed—his death hed—in his lodgings at the City Hote ‘the idiosyncracies which had, of ja yeara especially, marked his demeanor, distinguished the last hours of his life. The sudden bursts of petulence which disease wrung from him; the affecting kindness and tenderness which discase could not wholly take from him: the rambling conversation in the iatervals of acute suffering, in some passages, 25 brilliant a8 ever—the last gleams of the sinking lamp; the groanings of re:noree, which a review of his past life, at the bar of a stern seif-judgment, drew from his contrite heart; the fervid prayer; the hes- itating hope; the trust qualified by self- condemnation, in the Saviour whose name he professed; the concluding act ere the curtain fell upon the last scane of carth, propped up by pillows, he called witnesses to his confirmation of his will, ede. for the freedom and support of is slaves, and the last conscious words, which fired his eye aad braced his sink- ing frame, as, speaking in this connec- tion, he laid his skeleton hand strongly upon the shoulder of his faithful servant, John, and said with emphasis—+ cially for this man.” And then—this leat charge upon his conscience off—his mind wandered away to the light, and the scenes, and the friends of the early days; and, the mutterings of the voice growing gradually fainter, as he passed on into the thicker shadows of the Dark Valley, the fluttering pulse stood siill, and , ie Bandolph, of Roanoke, was nuwbered with the dead! (May 24th, 1833, aged 60.) They carried him back to his solitary home, and buried him—in death as in life, unsocial and isolated—in the forest of Roanoke In the sgil of the Virginia he loved so well, they laid the corpse of her faithful and devoted son. They left him to rest, after the long fever of his troubled dream of life was over, in an humble and sequestered grave, beneath two stately pines. There let him sleep on! The gloom of their shade, and the melancholy sighing of the wind through their boughs, are fit emblems of the life which was breathed out in sadness and in sorrow.—Baldwin’s Party Leaders. nara NS lay is carried on.

And very handsome rooms they are; brilliantly lighted, warm- ly curtained, and plentifully mirrored | k at the table spread ont in the back room, and covered with cold fowl, ham, tongue, beef, and salads; these, with wines, spirits, and cigars, are provided gratuitously. Indeed, the more you drink the better pleased are your hospit- able entertainers. ‘Let us push through this lot of men lounging in the doorway, and discussing racing matters—what an odd thing it is that your horsy-doggy kind of men al- ways congaegate in doorways !—and make our way to the play table. This, you will observe, is an ordinary billiard table, furnished with pockets, cushions, &c.: and yonder, im the corner, stands a rack of cues—an arrangement which has been adopted recently, im consequence of the frequent visits of the police. And now let us look round at the company. “That tall, dark man, standing at the centre of the table, is one of the proprie- tors of the house, and a handsome, dash- ing Israelite he is. He is very rich, al- ways dresses to perfection, and, bus be- side being the owner of two or three racers, keeps a cabriolet and a mail phas- ton—in one er the other of which you may see him nearly every afternoon in the Park; and you seldom go down to dine, either at the Crown and Sceptre at Greenwich, or the Star and Garter at Richmond, on a Sunday, without finding his ‘trap’ at the door during some por- tion of the evening. Idiotic guardsmen, would-be aristocratic stock-jobbers, green hands from the universities, and ‘ast youths about town, have paid for that vehicle, and honest Moss gives them a subdued, but intelligent = 4 of recog- nition, as he drives in it. ‘The sharp looking, wiry little maa, cee to him, is the croupier.

The rakes would be too pre- nonces in the event of any magisterial interruption ; and, moreover, frem the size of the table, are not required. “Seven’s the main !” shouts that tall, blend, moustached, handsome maa, taking up the box. “ Seven’s the main !”’ repeats the erou- pier, ‘make up your game, please ; the castor’s becking in at seven, gentlemen !’ Down comes the bex—out roll the dice. ‘ Eleven’s the nick,’ says the ereup‘er ; and stakes are swept up, winners paid, and 8 fresh main called with inconceiy- able oy empl That man with the dice box in his hand is the type of a certain class.
