The object contemplated to be accomplish
ed ~ the hove schema, is emf emily entl-
tied tothc favor and patronage Of the cltl.
zeDs OF Baltimore. The establishment OF a
Medieal Cogiege will unquestionably have a
hena6ciI influence on the general literary
character of eur CITY: on tperhaps may be
hereafter engTafted the other Colleges, and
thus an university be constituted.
Tt viii however give us other Important
advantage s,--it VIII promote spirit OF ln'
ves6gatiou 10 the faculty, it will induce
youngs men of talents to establish themselves
s In our city, and thereby permanently secure
TO this community the best aid that can be
afforded BY the medical profession 1t may
also be proper to remark thatif this school
should prosper, as is anticipated, 1t will
czuse large sums 10 be expended annually
In this city, which would otherwise be dis
bursed in other places
We presume that those gentlemen who
are anxious for the Advancement of the IN
terests of Baltimore, will give US their sup
mort on the above considerations.
To those who arc inclined to profit them
selves At the S me time that they encourage
us-we confidently say, that no scheme OF
a lottery so splendid or promising as the a.
hove has ever been offered In this country.
RP The commissioners having already
contracted for the sale of a sufficient number
of Tickets TO authorize them in liking the
earliest day for drawing, that the time ne
cessary for making preparations will admit,
GIVE NOTICE.
That the drawing of the Medical College

Ject OF interesting speculation, in what man

the Com nittee, as well as of the Head of
the reasury Department, that for the ex-
penscs OF war reliance should be placed
on LOANS, redeemable in period Of anti
ciPated peace. But, as universal exDeriepc.
mas proved Il to be essential to maintenance
OF public credit, that the interest falling
due on loans should be punctualy paid, It
becomes necessary to provide a gradually
increasing fund. which, besides supplying
what is deficient for the support Of the or

qua e to the payment of the interest IN the
