To ALT those haring, or DESTROYS Of having, interest in
the 9Th Classofthe
Grand UNIVERSE Y lottery.

The sale of tickets in the above Scheme not having
been sufficient to warrant the drawing take place
the the 22d ultimo, as originally intended, without
risk of considerable loss to the manager, the drawing
of the is hereby postponed for 500 90 days. no.
tice ofte precise day OH which the Lottery will posi-
lively be drawn will however soon be given;
p CfNFIELD, Manager.
II may not perhaps, be necessary to assign any fur
ther reasons for this short posponement than con-
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howey-
err 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 SIN
gular and unprecedented stagnaton 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 one extremity OF the
country the other and has been general in several ct
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 ola important lottery, should
have similar effect one ofmuch greater magnitude.
But it is hoped that happy change for these reverses
ha. already commenced and that all classes OF our ci
in every part Of the Union will soon participants "a
the returning tide ofprosperity The scheme now Of
ered is by far the most attractive and splendid of any
presented to the public in the United States; and
MANY very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with prncely fortunes or handsome add-
tons to what they already possess.
Those who nave not yet taken an interest," IN ts LOT
terry, now have additional opportunity offered them
and they are respectfully reminded that by promptly
purchasing chances in this most splendid scheme, they
winsure early distribution Of the rich prizes con-
tains-as the lottery shall positively be drawn soon
as the sale oftckets viii justly; 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 pubcs obedien servant

ARTIFICIAL MAN.

We hear that the Medical Institution in this
city has lately imported from France com
plete artificial man. Without pretending TO
any anatomical skill we can readily ginc
that this machine, truly called an artificial man,
and which is so made that every part Of it,
from the scalp TO the toe nails, may be separat-
ed and put together with such ease and accura-
cy as 10 enable student TO examine and under
stand every ingredient, no matter now hard the
name, both by itself and as connected with the
rest of the human frame, so as to give very
great facilities in acquiring correct and ex-
tensive knowledge of anatomy. We think i,
great acquisition to the institution, and hope
hereafter to be able TO give scientific and mi
mute account OF it.

Most Of our readers, we presume, have either

wose name has been SO often associated with
Ollie Calhoun and the Rip Raps. This distin-

we still endeavoring 10 contribute, TO his for

copletion of the Notifications at Old Point

men with direct participation in the
notoous Rip Rap contract, and stating that
he Id the receipt of the latter gentleman
for s, 500, portion of which was declared,
by In, to be for Mr.. Calhoun's use. The let

not cosing TO consider it so, communicated it
yestel ay to the Secretary Of War, who imme-

Q~We are requested te state thar the
report now in circulation respecting the
supposed writer of the letter directed to
us from Providence, giving an account o.
the marriage which we contradicted in our
last, is not correct. The letter bearing the
signature Of "John Vaughan, jr." Ia young
man belonging to this place) it was thought,
and rumored, that he was the person--but
subsequent events altogether disproves the
report. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
the villainous rascal who not only imposed
upon us, but assumed the name of q re-
spectacle young man for the purpose of
carrying his Infamous design into effect, to
defame the character of reputable young
lady, will be feretted out ofhis lurking
place, and be made to suffer the punish
ment which he so Justly merits.
