LOTTERIES.—UnIess in the event of a war, when
the utmost resources of revenue might be required, or a serious
decline in our finances, which nobody apprehends, it is not
likely that we shall have any renewal of State Lotteries. Of
the Glasgow Lottery, then, it may be said, that it is the last
which we shall see " in our time :" those, therefore, who
would. seek to better their worldly state in this way, should
lose no time in doing so, by an immediate purchase at some of
the Lottery-offices, where, as the day of drawing approaches,—
being positively fixed for Thursday next, the 28th instant,—
the demand for tickets and shares hourly increases.
TYPE-FOUNDING IN GLASGOW.—THE MESSRS.
WILSON.—The whole establishment of Messrs. Alex. Wilson
and Sons, who have rendered this city so famous throughout
the world for its letter-founding, has recently been removed to
London, where, it appears, they anticipate that their exten-
sive establishment will be carried on even still more profitably
than in Glasgow. We understand that the Messrs. Wilson
have taken along with them the whole of the workmen em-
ployed in their type-foundry here, and very liberally took upon
themselves the payment of their respective house-rents for the
current year, or the responsibility of getting them sub-let ; and
have, besides, been at the expense of conveying themselves and
families to London. We have noticed the withdrawal of the
Messrs. Wilson from among us, mainly on account of the pre-
eminence which that highly respectable family holds in the
history of the art of type-founding in Scotland. The art
was first introduced into Scotland by Mr. Wilson, Professor
of Astronomy in the College of Glasgow, according to Dr.
Cleland, about the year 1740. The Professor, in company
with a Mr. Baine, first established a type-foundry in St. An-
drews, but afterwards removed to Camlachie, in this neigh-
bourhood, where they carried on the business till the dissolu-
tion of the partnership, by the removal of Mr. Baine to Dublin.
After the death of the Professor, who, during his lifetime, had
rendered the establishment one of the largest and most cele-
brated in Europe, the business continued to be carried on by
his sons, and, latterly, by his grandsons, who have preserved
in their family the same celebrity for letter-founding which
distinguished their learned ancestor. •In leaving their native
city, the Messrs. Wilson carry along with them the best
wishes of a large circle of friends and the public generally.—
Glasgow Courier..
A STORM IN TIIE ORKNEYS.—If the tourist has
the good fortune to be in Orkney during a storm, he will cease
to regret the absence of some of the softer and more common
beauties of landscape, in contemplation of the most sublime
spectacle which he ever witnessed. By repairing at such a
time to the weather shore, particularly if it be the west side,
he will behold waves, of the magnitude and force of which he
could not have previously formed any adequate conception,
tumbling across the Atlantic like monsters. of the deep, their
heads erect, their manes streaming in the wind, roaring and
foaming as with rage, till each discharges such a Niagara
flood against the opposing precipices as makes the rocks
tremble to their foundations, while the sheets of water that
immediately ascend, as if from artillery, hundreds of feet
above their summits, deluge the surrounding country, and
fall like showers on the opposite side of the island. All the
springs within a mile of the weather coast are rendered brack-
ish for some days after such a storm. Those living half a mile
from the precipice declare that the earthen floors of their cots
are shaken by the concussion of the waves. Rocks that two
or three men could not lift are washed about, even on the tops
of cliffs which are between 60 and 100 feet above the surface
of the sea when smooth, and detached masses of rock of an
enormous size are well known to have been carried a consider-
able distance between low and high water mark. Having
visited the west crags some days after a recent storm, the
writer found sea insects abundant on the hills near them,
though about 100 feet high ; and a solitary limpet, which is
proverbial for its strong attachment to its native rock, but
which also seemed on this occasion to have been thrown up,
was discovered adhering to the top of the cliff, 70 feet above
its usual position.—Altderson's Guide to the Orkneys.

THE BLIGHTEDJOURNEY.

Among the hundreds of our poor northern countrymen
and women who every autumn quit their native hills, and,
too poor, perhaps, to afford the means of a voyage a:ross
the Atlantic, are proud enough to form themselves into a
band for the purpose of going down to the lowlands as
reapers, was this year a party from the parish of Sleet, in
Skye. They were accompanied by two young women, sis-
ters, Clementina and Christian Robertson ; who, besides
what was to them the cheering prospect of acquiring a few
honourably earned shillings, which they might carry back
to comfort their aged father in their distant home, were
buoyed up with the fond anticipation of seeing a brother,
Donald, who bad for some months been employed on the
extensive improvements now carrying forward on the high-
way at Mumrill Bridge, near Falkirk. As they approached
this place their young hearts sank within them to learn; by
two wounded men that an accident had happened at -the
Alumrills, and that these poor fellows wei e obliged, with a
scanty penny and exhausted frame, to quit the job and re-
turn to the Isle of Skye. A hundred times had the two
girls to be assured that no one else bad been hurt, and that
their brother was safe and well when these men saw him
last. But the tale though flattering was false, for on Fri-
day last, as the workmen were removing the earth forming
the old road, one of the waggons was standing beneath the
bank, which four men were in the act of filling--two of
them being placed between the waggon and the wall of solid
clay, which was only about ten feet high—when a great
mass fell, literally burying them beneath its ponderous
weight, and breaking the shafts of the waggon. The oilier
two narrowly escaped a similar fate. Not a moment was
lost in extricating the men who had been overwhelmed.
One had scarcely been conveyed home ere he died. Poor
Donald was the other ; his ribs, and one of his legs were
broken, and it was evident some dreadful internal hurt had
been sustained. In this state his sisters first saw him.
Their worst forebodings had been realized, and a thousand
yearnings wrung them at that sad instant. His death
took place a very short time thereafter. On Sunday
evening the funeral of the two sufferers took place. All
the workmen were there, and hundreds of spectators
joined them, but the most touching sight was the two gen-
teel-looking sisters, the mere novelty of whose appearance,
as they followed the corpse, wrapped up in their tartan
plaids, excited intense interest. In the church-yard there
were few dry eyes. One of the sisters fainted several
times, andas they both gave loose to their pure heart-grief
while they lay upon the grave, a dead gloom pervaded all.
A few shillings were collected by some friends, and, as
usual, when the really necessitous claim his aid, .Mr.
Forbes, of Callendar, added a sum, with which these- sis-
ters again turned their steps homewards, feeling it impos-
sible to stay, far less to join a mirthful band on the hairet
rig, in the country where the sad affair has happened, of
which they will be the first to convey the intelligence to
Skye.—Stirling Journal.

CRICKETING.

BRIGHTON, Auc. '2o.—Sussex has:again taken the field Agana
England, and for the sixth time in succession have experienced a
defeat. The last match commenced on Monday in Brc'wn'•
grounds, and terminated yesterday evening in favour of England by
fifty-eight runs. _

ENGLAND. etTS9EZ.
First innings...
Second innings

1801 12
The play on both sides was extremely good, awl a more beautiful
display of bowling we never witnessed. Lillywhite bowled with
extraordinary precision, and even Pilch was puzzled. Lillywhita
bowled this great batsman 28 balls in succession without his obtain-
ing a single run. Pilch got 18 runs in the first innings and 13 in
the second. Cobbctt bowled well, and a new Sussex player of the
name of Taylor acquitted himself greatly to the satisfaction of Sus-
' sex to whom he will prove a valuable acquisition. The game ex-
cited very considerable interest, and attracted a large concourse of
spectators ; but the interest of the game was gone at the conclusion
of the two first innings, Sussex being so much in the back ground.
The Marylebone Club, we believe, play only one more match
this season, viz. at Leeds.
A match is made for SII33€X 110 play the Marylebone Club and
ground early in next season ; but the most interesting match would
be the united strength of the twn counties, Kent and Sussex, against
all England, and we arc greatly
isaistake.i if the tw,) coaatieu do set
