1t may not, perhaps be necessary TO assign any fur
ther reasons for this short postponement than
er, beg leg leave to add, that when this class was is
sued, few persons, fany anticipated in the least the
late panic in the money market which has almost para
yzed every kind of business and has caused such sin
gular and unprecedented stagnation 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 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 ofmuch greater magnitude.
But II hoped, that happy change for these
has already commenced, and that all classes OF our ct
zens in eve"y part of the Union will participate in
the returning tide ofprosperity. The scheme now Of
fered 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 viii certainly
be rewarded with prncely fortunes OF handsome add-
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken interest in this Lot
terry now have additional opportunity offered them
and they are respectfully reminded, that by promptly
purchasing chances in this most splendid scheme, they
will insure early distribution ofthe rich prizes it
tainsas the lottery shall positively be drawn as soon
as the sale 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 obedient servant

In the Narrative of the Journal oil
the late Emperor ALEXANDER into the
Crimea, lust published at St Peters
burgb, we find the following passages
con the eve of his departure for the
Crimea, the Emperor, at about four
o'clock in the afternoon. wrote to EN-
press his mother The horizon was, on a
sudden obscured by a cloud, and the
Emperor ordered his valet to bring
him lights. However the weather clear
ed up, and the sun appeared in all
his glory. The valet returned and inqui-
red if he was to bring the lights why
do you ask;' said the Emperor; Be
cause, in our part Of the country re-
piled the valet, we have considered ita
bad omen to write by candle light du-
ring the day time What conclusion
would they draw from it, Tell me the
truth. You would no doubt, say, that
seeing light here, those who passed
would think that death was in the house?'
'Yes sire.'-'Well bring the lights
"On the first evening after his return
TO Taganrog, the EMPEROR recollected
this conversation with his valet de cham
ber When he saw him, ALEXANDER
said, FEDoR, the lights which | ordered
you to bring to my closet, are not for
gotten. They announced my death
and they will burn for me-"
The above article derives its interest
from the great parsonage to whom the
facts mentioned in it occurred. Many
a corpse candle has burned before the
cottage of a peasant-many death
watch has licked its note of prepare
ton, and many avillage crone has sha-
ken in prophetic spiiit her long bony
finger as she predicted misfortune or
decay; and all have passed away unno-
tlced, beyond the small circle which
crept closer together as the superstition
spreads itself from one to another. But
when an Emperor dies--occupying no
more ground'in death than did the peas
ant; standing after death not more erect
in HIS presence than the slave who
did his bidding,-the most trifing occur
rences, the condolences Of chance, up
on which superstition rears lis dim pile;

WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY
The following j, an editorial paragraph
taken from the London British Travel
Ter of the 18th April
The din of warIike preparations sounds
in the North; all the accounts to DAY wear
hostile aspect. The Gar seems re
solved on war, and is arranging his
immense strength, naval and military, for
the assault on the sinking empire OF the
Ottoman. Admiral Greig who commands
in chief the fleets of Russia, has been or.
dered TO st. Petersburgh to report the
condition of the naval forces, and pre-
pare for hostiIties in the Black Sea.
The armies of Sachen aud Wittgenstein,
to Bessarabia, are said also to be in mo-
ton. The Russian hordes are concen'
trating for the march, and taking up ad
vanced positions in front OF the Pruth.
The Duke of Wellington is said to have
urged every argument against this tre-
mendous war. but all in vain. No diplo-
macy could avert the storm. which seems
ready to burst on Eastern Europe in I'M
nipgated Jury!
The above may b. true, but we think
it doubtful In the Courier of the 18th
and 9th now before US no mention what
ever IS made of this tremendous war"
What the accounts mentioned by the
Editor of the Traveller, are, we should
like very much to know, that we may
draw our own eonclusions-if they a
amount to no more than the vague ru-
mours which have been afloat since the
death of Alexander, and which we think
is very likely, not much faith is to be
placedIin them-aftsr all, it is more than
probable that the above article is the
manufacture Of the ingenious news-ma-
king Imagination of the London Editor.
