The sale Of ticSt.tsin the above Scheme not having
been sufficient to warrant the drawing to take place Oh

II may not perhaps, be necessary assign any ,ur-
ther reasons for this short pospomement than are con-
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howev-
er, beg leg leave to add that when this class was is
sued, few persons, if any, anticipated in the least the
late panic in the money market which has almost para
yzed every kind of business, and has caused such sim
gular and unprecedented stagnaton in trade. The
distress of capitalists and moned institutions has not
been confined to any single state in confederacy,
but it has been severely felt from extremity OF the
country the other and has been general in several OF
the oldest and wealthiest foreign countries. And it
will not be considered matter of surprise, that the
same causes which have induced recently the post
ponement of the drawing of important lottery should
have similar effect one ofmuch greater magnitude
But it hoped, that happy change for these reverses
has already commenced, and that all classes OF our c
zens in every part of the Union will participate in
the returning dc of prosperity. The scheme now Of
fcred is by far the most attractive and splendid Of any
ever presented to the public in the United States; and
manv very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with prncey fortunes or handsome add
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not vet taken interest in this Lot
terry now have an additional opportunity offered themi
and they respectfully reminded, that by promptly
purchasing chances in this NEST splendid scheme they
will insure an early distribution ofthc rich prizes con-
tans-as the lottery shall positively be drawn as sooe
the sale of tickets will justify; and the prizes paid
in cash Immediately after the drawing; all persons
therefore are invited to forward and take ticket
or share at either OF the managers Offices where all
applications personal per letter, will at any time be
promptly attended to by the publcs ohedent servant
