The Swedish Chancellor, OxENsriERN,
addressed his son in these words, See, my
son with how little wisdom the affairs OF the
worlG are governed !" This has been true
of all DAYS. 1t was reserved tor our days
for Ministers TO discard all semelance OF re-
sDcct in their intercourse with great and in
dependcn, nations not in hostility, and great
commercial bodies sinking under the effects
of the commercial policy those Ministers
have adopted.

VIII take place in this city on Tuesday the
18th November next. The subscriber avails
himself of this method of assuring the public
that all prizes drawn in this Lottery win be

creased demand for tickets leads to the most
favorable expectation that the obecfof the
Legislature in granting the LottesgettJ- the
commissioners of William and Mkry Col
lege, will at length be accomplished, Ind that
that seminary, the pride of Virginia, will
thereby be endowed with funds sufficient to
promote all the objects contemplated by the
Commissioners.-The cause of literature and
OF pure republican principles will be promot-
ed by liberal encouragement of this lottery
land when added thereto, is the fair chance
OF acquiring handsome sum Of money, it is
sincerely TO be hoped the public will afford
this undertaking all the encouragement they
may deem it to merit.

In tho year 1912, Mr.. Winston having cal.
culatcd the return Of Comet, which was to
make It's appearance on "Wednesday the i4th
Of Oct at S minutes after in the morning,
gave notice TO the puhlick accordingly, with
this terrifying addition, that the total dissolu-
ton Of the world by fire, was TO take place
on the Friday following. The reputation Mr..
Winston had long maintained in England,
both as divine and philosopher, left litlc
or no doubt with the populaoc, of the truth
OF his prediction. Several ludicrous cycnts
now took place. A number Of persons in
and about London, seized all the bargcs and
boats they could lay hands ON in the Thames,
very nationally concluding, that when the
copfagration took place, there would be the
most safety on the water. A gentleman who
had neglected family prayer for better than 5
years, informed his wife, that it was his de-
termination to rcsume that laudabIc prrcticc
the same evening but his wife having cnga.
ged ball at her house, persuaded her hus-
band to put il off till they saw whether the
Comet appeared or not. The South Sea
stock Immediately fell to per. cent and the
India to | ! and the captain Of Dutch ship
threw all his powder into the river, that the
ship might not be endangered.
The next morning, however, the COMET
appeared, according to the prediction, and
before noon the belief was universal, that the
day Of judgment was at hand. About this
time l23 clcrgymcn were fcrricd over 10
Lambeth, it was said, to petition that a short
prayer might be penncd and ordered, there
being none in the church on that occasion.
Three maids OF honour burnt their colIcc-
,ions Of novels and plays, and sent to book
seller TO buy each of them Bible, and Bish.
op TayIor's Holy Living and Dying.-The
run upon the Bank was so prodigious, that oil
hands were employed from morning till
night in discounting notes, and handing out
specie. On Thursday, considerable moro
than 1000 kept mistrcsscs were legally mar
ricd, in the face Of several congrcgatious.----
And to crown the whole farce, Sir Gilbert
Hcathcotc, at that time head director Of the
Bank, issued orders to ell the 6rc officers II,
London, requiring hem to keep good
lookout, and have particular eye upon the
Bank of England"

from London it flies from passenger TO mer-

to others, until the mail passengers convey il

mistakes, what misunderstandincs, what al

place ! until at length the echo in no respect
resembles the original report. Let the press
now arise IN Ncw-York, and what a change
