TIIE LOTTERY OF MARRIAGE.—That marriage is
a lottery has long been a proverb, and its universal ac-
ceptation appears to have induced the most talented of
our novel writers, Mrs. Trollope, to exhibit in one of her
graphic and entertaining stories the various chances
which are open to all who seek this ,uncertain source of
speculation. In this new work, we understand, she brings
forward the wealthy marriage, the pious marriage, the
marriage for love, the marriage for ambition, marriages
that are the great prizes of the matrimonial scheme, and
marriages that are perfect blanks. In the hands of a
novelist so familiar with the different phases of society
such a subject will no doubt furnish one of the most en-
tertaining novels that have appeared for a long while.—

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Respected Member of the
Society of Friends Cured of a Cough and Asthma, by
Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Extract of a letter from
Mr. Benjamin Mackie, to Professor Holloway, dated
Creenagh, near Loughall, September 11, 1848:—"Re-
spected Friend,—l feel it only an act of justice to thy-
self to state, that I have personally experienced the
benefit of thy excellent Pills and Ointment, in the cure
of an inveterate cough and asthma, which afflicted me for
three years to such an extent that I was obliged to walk
about my room at night, afraid of suffocation if I went
to bed. I then tried thy invaluable medicines, which I
am pleased to say have perfectly cured me.”—Sold by all

was taken out, gradually rose to the temperature of 200
degrees. The quantity of fuel required to

about 15 lbs. weight of coke per hour. The water eva-

the fuel consumed about one fourth of the weight of water
evaporated.—Correspondent of the Budder.
