The saleof tcketsi in the above Scheme not having
been sufficient to warrant the drawing to take place on
the the Odd ultimo, as originally intended, without
risk of considerable loss to the manager, the drawing
of the is hereby postponed for 80 or so days; no

1t may not, perhaps be necessary to assign any fur
her for this short postponement than con-
tanned in the above The MANAGER would, howev-
er, beg leg leave to add, that when this class 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 stagnatlon 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 to the Other and has been general in several of
the oldest and wealthiest foreign countries And 1t
will not be considered matter of SURPRISE that the
same causes which have induced recently the post
ponemen ofh drawing off important lottery should
have similar effect ofmuch greater magnitude
But is hoped, that happy change Tor these reverses
has already commenced and that all classes Of our cti-
zens in every part of the Union will participate in
the returning tide of prosperity. The scheme now Of
fered by far the most 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 add.
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken interest in this Lot
tery now have additional opportunity offered them;
and they are respectfully reminded, that by promptly
purchasing chances in this most splendid Schemes they
will insure an early distribution Of the rich prizes con.
tans-ss the lottery shall positively be drawn as soon
as the sale of tickets will Justify; and the prizes paid
