The hope of every man starting into life, is to
acquire that independence which will place hint
above the world : but, as JOHNSON observed, to
obtain this by 46 climbing the steeps of labour,"
requires years of application ; whilst, by a lucky
hit in the Lottery, the hope may be realized for
a few pounds in a few days ; and considering how
long they have existed in this Country, we can
see no reason for the Act of Parliament which
abolishes Lotteries for ever,after the present and
one more drawing.

YORK WHIG CLiin.—A General Meeting of
the Club was held on Thursday last. SirGeonas
( -LEY, Bart. iu the Chair. Several Resolu-
Lions were passed relative to the approaching
General Election, and an Address was voted,
assuring the electors that several Gentlemen,
whose principles were in favour of economy in
public expenditure, and unrestricted toleration,
were ready to oiler their services, and calling
upon the Electors to reserve their votes.
De xteraNG.--The pertinacity with which out
brethren of the Emerald Isle sometimes hold their
opinion, and the consequences of doubting it, are
ably illustrated in the following anecdote, At
a party, some years since, an Irish' Gentleman
asserted that he had seen anchovies growing on a
tree ; un Englishmen present doubted the probe-
bility, nay, perhaps, the possibility of such a cir-
cumstance ; upon which, issue was joined by the
Hibernian, who immediately called the English-
man out. They met, and at the first fire the
Englishman was shot through the heart. At the
' instant that the poor fellow was springing from
the ground by that convulsive action of the
1 muscle which generally attends death so pro.
dueed, the Irishman called out, 14 I beg your par-
don—l beg your pardon—it was capers I meant!"
SHERIDANTANA.—AMOng all the persons whose
sayings are recorded, there certainly is not one
whose wit is more lively and pregnant than SUE•
nt na tes, or whose jeux d'ebprit are better adapted
for being chronicled ; we are, therefore, not sorry.
to observe a volume announced, under the title
of 41 Sheridaniana, or Anecdotes of the Life of
Sheridan, his Table Talk, and Bon-mots." Many
of the best things in this volume, we are informed,
have never been printed before.
CONDENSED WOOD,—In this age of invention,
one of the most singular is that of condensed
wood, for which a gentleman has recently ob-
tained a patent. His idea is to pass the planks,
which are to be cut with parallel surfaces,
through several pairs of rollers, and the distance
between each pair progressively diminishing, so
that the sap or other moisture will be forced out
of the pores of the wood at the ends and sides
of the plank, which will be gradually compress-
ed, and rendered more solid, without disturbing
the grain, thus producing an improvement in the
quality of the wood, where durability and hard-
ness are objects to be obtained.
