TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN.
Stit,—About a fortnight age, I transmitted you an &nom
date relating tombs Horne Tooke and Sir Wm. Curtis.
which you inserted in your paper of the 2Stb
The paragraph afterwards, I saw, was pnrsning the
usual round of the Journals, and in its course, appear.
ed In another evening paper of Wednesday last. Tide I
morning I perceived it in The Times, and was mush
surprised to find it quoted, not from the paper throng%
which it was at first sent into the world, bet from that
Ss which it had last appeared. If the purpose of qua
dog the journal from which an extract is taken, be
to point out the authority, or to acknowledge the obli-
gation for the article, it it &ear, that the reference
was due to Tut STATESMAN. Best there may be other
motives for quoting and misquoting newspapers, be-1
sides those which would be obvious to such a nape as
mi. The Times newspaper, for instance, mast Weil
reason, of its own for its management of these mottoes;
for, I well remember, that when I sent to a annals
Morning paper three or font years ago, seme
sedates of a kind similar to that now referred to,
711 e limes could not forbear Inserting them in its co-
lumns. With this attention, I, of course, was grati-
fied* hut, then-the compliment was accompanied with
ne great a degree of mortification, for the articles were
salformly ascribed to an anonymous truantry paper.
sad the journal to which I ha.l sent them deprived of
the tenth that was its due. I know not hew another
person wouta feel, when the credit was thus
taken Conti the paper be wished to countenance,
and, of course, from himself, as the original
writer; but I confess I feel myself not a little embar-
rassed, as well as piqued on the occasion. The anec-
dote In question I transmitted you, as nearly in the
words in which I heard Mr. Tooke relate it, as I
possibly could recollect ; aud I wished to communicate
some others with the like correctness, provided they
were likely to pass into the world on the authority of
the channel which 1 prefer for their passage. The
sophistication, however, which 1 state, I feel a
very unfair impediment thrown in my way, and 1
entreat you or your readers to suggest some NOM
for its removal. I am, your humble servant,

tifice of which our correspondent complains. To
correct the habit to which the parties are prone.

knit. for the habit. from its long duration, ha
become inveterate. It is to be hoped, however,
that they will see in time that the advantages of
artifice are always short-lived ; and that to reader

principle, but the best and most advantageous policy.

MAIRIA4III LOTTERT.—It has often been satd, figura-
tively, that marriage is a lottery ; but we do not recol-
lect to have met with a practieal illustration of the
truth of the simile before the following, which is a free
translation of an advertisement in The Louisiana Go-
stile:—" A young man, of good figure and disposition,
unable, though desirous, to procure a wife, without the
preliminary trouble of amassing a fortune, proposes the
following expedient to obtain the object of his wishes:—
He offers himself as the prise of a lottery to all widons
and virgins under 32. The number of tickets to be 600,
at 50 dollars each. But one number to be drawn from
the wheel, the fortunete proprietor of which is to be en-
titled to himself and the 30,000 dollars.—(Nero York
Aoterices).
One evening last week as a woodman was rpturnirg
from his labour to his habitation in the woods near
the upper Blue Bell, he was accosted by a man in the
garb of a sailor, who told him he had bete wandering
shoat the woods all the day with the Intention of hang-
ing himself; the woodman not believing him to be
sincere in his declaration, supposing him to be intox-
icated, questioned him as to the cause of his coming
there, mad why, if be had an idea of that kind he had
so long delayed it ; the sailor told him that the Devil
had urged him to destroy himself, that he had been
n whole day seeking alit place for the purpose, but said
Ise had then changed his mind. as Hod Almighty had
appeared to him, and told bins that from his accumu-
lated sins he was not fit to ester his presence. The
woodmen nes' liking his apprentice then left hien, the
man however followed him sod thus addressed him ;
~ what I have toll yon is tree. I deserted my ship
this morning, and stole a host to come ashore in for
the express purpose of Imaging myself. Hod has how.
ever persuaded me that I ass sot dt to die, but it is too
late new, if I return today ship, I shall either be huag
or punished severely; the woodman advised him to
get farther let* the country to chide detection, he re-
plied be bad but a shilling in the world, be was fearful
he Amid bet meet with work, sad slid his life was
of no valve to him; then the woodman told the poor
man As bad so mosey with %Web he could relieve
him, and left him; at day-tweak neat morning the
poor fellow was Mind banging in the wood. He was,
it swum a oseason on board of one of the men-of-war
at Chatham. was engaged to a female who has since
tructierred her affostions to another sailor, he accord-
ingly howled from his ship in the night, taking one
of the ship's boots. MI thus terminated his existence.
