LOTTERIES.

In the house of representatives on Friday last, !
a committee was instructed to report bill prohibl-
ting the sale Of Lottery tickets within the District OF
Columbia In the course of the debate, Mr.. Ser
geant of Philadelphia made the following observa-
tions
He, Mr. Sergeant, said, that he had made up
his mind long since, that the existence OF Lotteries
was great evil; and he had SINCE had ample
means Of confirming that conclusion from facts and
experience so much So that he could not sanction
any law for the establishment or continuance OF any
Lottery whatever He did not affect to be more
swaved by considerations Of moral kind than O.
Their gentlemen although he did consider the
question in that point of view as well deserving of
consideration. He thought the house might as well
erect an establishment for public gambling IN any o.
Their form nay. better for tins was gambling OF the
very worst and most injurious klud BY new
conrivance inthe drawing of Lotteries, that opera
ton is now performed with almost much celebrity
as the dice are thrown or coin tossed up IN the
air. Lotteries thus drawIs, exhibit the most rapid
and powerful gambling nov existing; they present
temptation of fearful force and magnitude TO the
indulgence of what all will to be an evil pro-
pensity; propensity, which no gentleman OF this
house would wish to encourage in any one that Is
dear to him--no gentleman who heard him would
wish to child his, or a servant or apprentice
in whoa he felt any interest, occupying his time III
running after Lotteries, and suffering the high ant
morbid excitement which always accompanies sucl
pursuit. So great was this temptation in its actua
results on society that thousand cases has urget
men to the commission Of acts which brought then
to Jail, if not the gallows. Here Mr.. S. adyertet
to one very affecting instance in illustration of hi
position. 1t was the OF an aged and highly re
spectacle man, of character, till then unbemished
and of such standing to bring him into an office

of defalcaton in the funds, the grey hairs of thl
unhappy man were brought down to the lowest stat
oignominy by his being tried and convicted of purlt
ming the money Of the institution 1t was foune
on examining into the case, that all this amount {
funds had gone to Lottery Office. The man ha
been dealing in Lottery Tickets for long tim
betore-(in tickets authorized by law,) but bein
unfortunate, he yielded in his despair to the force
propensity which sometimes gets the mastery
the strongest minds, and which is sure to make
easy conquest over weak ones.
Lotteries he said, were springing up like musl
rooms, OF rather like the poisonous resemblance

The Russians are "gctting enough of it," In this
their aggression against Turkey In spite of all their
boastngs they have been fore ed to raise the siege
of silistria, and to retire beyond the Danube. Bad
weather has been the cause alleged. A bitter foe
to the operations of the Muscoyites throughout the
campaign has this same bad weather proved but
on the other hand, ready healing plaster to the
reputation of his Imperial Majesty's arms. 1t is
suspected that certain movements of Hussein Pacha
combined with others of the Pacha of Widdin have
had sensible effect the barometer in this instance
and been regarded as prognostcs of storm which
fought not to be overlooked. Varna is now left te
its own resources, and can receive no further sup

affairs may have on the negotiation between Eng
land with France and Austria at her back) and thu
Court of St. Petersburgh. during the winter, is
question Of immense Importance and anxiety. Ii
our opinion the Duke of Wellington has the ball a
his foot far as concerns the resolves of the Rus
sian Cabinet. The British Minister need only nov
say to Russia Europe will be your guarrante

public interest forbds that you should take one incl

NEVERTHELESS deadly to every one who eats them.
Ii any gentlemen will go to the apartment where
lottery was drawing, he would seescouected there

heart ache crowd, consisting of persons, no one
of whom ought to be there; persons who ought to
be at home, pursuing some branch OF honest indus

which gambling never fails to produce-he would
there see how the appetite for such speculatlons IS
quckened, till it becomes overpoWering, Yet lot
eries were at this hour organized in the u States,
to an extent of which gentlemen probably had very
little idea. He knew that some time ago, lottery
was drawn on every Wednesday in the year. Now
the utmost proceeds of such system were from 8
to 10 per cent oil the amount invested; to be sure
there was generally d deduction allowed of Is per
per cent but out of that all the expenses were to be
paid and profit allowed to the contractor for the
risk he takes. In some cases the profit was even
less than 5 per cent Thus, to raise sum OF
As 600, the government draws from the people by

[From the Liverpool Advertiser.


The Mercury INDUCES the catering hope that ga
great proportion of Cotton from the United States
may be imported into England in British Ships in
stead of, as 1T present, American ships We be-
lieve this to be quite delusive expectation, and
founded upon fact concerning which our contem-
porary seems to be but partially informed. owe
observe he says, t.that cargo OF cotton may be
daily expected in the John and Francis, from Hall
fax to Liverpool, under the reduction Of duty pro-
vided for in the late Customs Amendment Act. =
Now the John and Francis had at that time actually
arrived (from Quebec, not llafax,) but the cotton
she brought was the cargo of vessel which had ORR
glnay sailed from the United States directly for
England, and had been wrecked in the St. Law
renee, not as the Mercury imagines, cargo brought
round by the colonies for the sake OF saving the du
lies. Thus the ground of our contemporaries
pectaton wholly fails.
Some months ago. the Chronicle had an article to
show that the cotton trade might be transferred from
American to English vessels, ln the manner antic-
pated by the Mercury. We expressed at the time
our conviction that this could never be done, and
our subsequent inquiries establish that conviction.
tits true that cotton imported from the British colo
mics pays almost no duty but the duty on cotton
from the United States is so low that an exemption
from it would not cover the expense of landing q
cargo in the colonies, and reshipping 1t for Eng
land. The plan of the writer in the Chronicle
however, was to bring the cotton in British pesse
from port Of the United States 10 one Of the Bri
! fish colonies and there without landing its cargo
to clear out afresh for England. Surprising thi
could be done-which would require the conniv
ance of the British authorities and change of thu
present rules for granting clearances-it is obvou
: that the Americans would not suffer themselves t
J be cheated out of this immense and lucrative com
: mcrce by SO SIMPLE trick They have only II
exact bond from every vessel leaving the Unite
States with cotton for England, binding her not t
touch at British colony, and the whole stratagem
y at an end.
