The same e\emng, however, after visiting the theatre I was enjoying the cool air and afragrent Havana, in the rotunda of the St Charles Hotel, and con- versing with a friend from the north,whom I had fortunately met, when whom should I encounter but \my steamboat acquam tancc. ~ After the usual greeting, our conversa- tion turned upon our trip down the mcr, our fellow passengers &c, when my fellow passenger remarked that if I would like to witness the the interior of a gambling house, or ' hell' as it was sometimes more appropriately called, he would be pleased to show it to us as one ot the sights or 'lions' of the place. Never having wit- nessed anything of the kind, both I and my friend consented, and after a short walkjfonndonMelvesinihe precincts of one those glittering and gorgeously furnished esUblishments—vestibules to the mferaai regions—wjiere mjsn were engaged in var The interior of * gMagJtoiue has Jjeen too*8qp«;B% d&cribed to need wp- ititioB* The Faro Bant with ita orowdt Bie Faro Baak^jntli ita crowds of hettort, the-Rouge # Noir UMs •\va-ts hick m this nng. sn.

The game was that known as • bluff' or 'poker,' I know not which, but at any rate, one on which the players bet upon the cards they hold. Thorn and his opponent, having each glanced at their cards,commenced the game. \ I'll go you one hundred,\ said Thorn commencing. \Two hundred Letter than that,''said his opponent. \ I'll go another hundred,\ continued Thorn. three hundred better,\ said the gambler, producing the notes from his said Thorn pocket-book. \Three hundred more,\ quietly , , Tne game waf getting exciting to us as spectators \ tnree thousand dollaw lay tip- on the table tc H decided by the cards held by the players, each of wiom seemed from his \bets\ to be confident of success,'' though their countenances betrayed not the least emotion. \ One hundred more,\ said flie gambler Vl «»H ftofMil Ifcora.
