A CARD

The sale of tickets in the above Scheme not having
been sufficient to warrant the drawing to take place on
the the 22d umo, as originally intended, without
risk of considerable loss to the manager, the drawing
of the is hereby postponed for 80 or 6O days. no.
tice of the precise day which the Lottery will posi-
lively be drawn will however soon be given.
p C2NFLELD, Manager.
It NAV not perhaps, be necessary to assign any fur
ther for this short postponement than con-
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howev-
or, 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
lived every kind of business, and has caused such sim
gular and unprecedented stagnation in trade. The
distress of capitalists and moned institutions has not
been confined to any sing state in confederacy
but has been severely felt from extremity of the
country the other and has been general in several OF
the oldest and weaithiest foreign countries And it
will not be considered matter of surprise, that the
same causes which have induced so recently the post
ponement of the drawing of important lottery, should
have similar effect one ofmuch greater magnitude.
But it is hoped that happy change for these reverscs
has already commenced, and that all classes OF our cIt-
zens in every part of the Union will participate in
the returning tide Of prosperity The scheme now Of
fered is by far the attractive and splendid OF any
ever presented the public in the United States; and
many very many who adventure therein Will certainly
be rewarded with prncey fortunes or handsome addf
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken An interest in this Lot
terry, now have an additional opportunity offered then
and they are respectfully reminded that by promptly
purchasing chances in this most splendid scheme, they
will insure early distribution OF the rich prizes 1t con-
tains-as the lottery shall positively be drawn as soon
as the sale of tickets viii justify; and the prizes paid
in cash immediately after the drawing; all persons
therefore are invited 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 pubc's obedien servant

nv LII OF h'-N'
A Knight Of the Gallipot, who resided in
the western part of this state, finding that the
call for his wares grew less and less frequent by
reason Of the establishment of two or three RI
val Pestles in the neighborhood of his practice,
csoyed on breaking up and pushing his Tor
tunes south. Depositing in his "Pockmante"
the most sovereign of all his death-defying spe-
cihcs, Escyapius turned the head OF his biped

sagacity soon furnished a wide field for his SCI

dicines. A sweeping malady was running thro'
the black population of the country; and sick
negroes, every body knows, are very poor pro-
per,y. for their recovery is a thing not to be
spoken of. The doctor, however, resolved up
on trying the potency of his skill, purchased,

that he could obtain. And now commenced
the tug of war between Death and the Doctor.
Death came down upon the patients with his
train of racking head aches, burning levers and
black yomits, upon which the undaunled eoc-

to His Majes.y's Government, appears in the
Journals ofthe House, expressive of THANKS Tor
The great commercial advantages offered to the
Province by the late Free Port Acts Of Parlia-
ment; but, claiming the e~rclusire right ofappropria-

BY the foregoing extract, it appears that the
Assembly of Nova Scotia, as well as that OF
Lower Canada, is engaged in maintaining the
Constitutional principle, in which all the Brit

monies raised by ~taxesin any Province although
under an act of the British Parliament, are TO
