MISSION TO ENGIAND.-We understand that
an extensive Operator in Lottery Tickets and
Policies, well known among the sporting men
ofthis City, sailed yesterday for London. He goes
out for the purpose of establishing in Great Brit
ain the Lottery business, and bears letters Of in
PRODUCTION to the habitues of Crocktords by means
OF which he will get the ear OF the most distin-
guished gamblers them by secret plan of ope
rations it is supposed that he will introduce the
sale of the Lottery tickets Of Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia Companies-the decision to be sub
iect to the drawings made in those States. 1t is
unnecessary to say that all this will be done sub
rosa Parliament put an end to legal Lottery
gambling many years ago. In this country, TWEEN;

the business, and it is probable that in the course
of the Winter one or more Of the three benighted
Legislatures will do the same thing. II they
could be brought to appreciate the immense injury
that their Lotteries inflict upon men in this City
alone, they would wind them up forthwith We

The Ice of Lake Champlain."
Mr.. EDIroR:

MIR. EDITOR:
noticed last week an article
in your paper from what source know not
headed, " The Ice of Lake Champlain :" giving
the reason why the water is so often clear of Ice
of morning when the evening before its whole
surface was covered with apparently sound ice.
Now have thought that the explanation there
given was childish superstition arising from
want of practical philosophical knowledge of

cd TO see the learning and influence Of such a
man as Professor Oltnstead uphodng and sane
tiontng such such seeming error
The turning point, and that whereon all the
difficulty rests in" The Ice OF Lake Champln,' .
appears in the statement that "By alternate
freezing and thawng, the Ice becomes granula,
ted and consequently very abso blnt of water"
and thereby gains specific. gravity which sinks
it But is it fact that ice, "by alternate freez,
ing and rhlwing becomes granulated" and very
porous or rather is it not fact that to freeze
water it requires a certain temperature called
the freezing point, which, in all cases, will make
it alike porous. Yet, after water is once con
gealed confess that by increased cod it may
become more "granulated; !" but, does it follow
that ii will then absorb water in such manner,
and to such an amount-if at alias to sink it
to the bottom, where it would never melt, but

per surface, until in the winter, all should be-
come solid mlss of CONCEALED and ABSORBED
water, and in The summer, be liquid only so far
as the increased heat should be able to melt it.
But whit is the true explanation of this pha.
nomenon? Is it not that from the warmth of
the sun the ice is made so extremely thin, as to,
at last, in some place, be totally destroyed when
a slight motion of the water, caused by the wind,
would at once commence its devastating course
by breaking up the whole mass in night, or
even in an hour; instead of the sinking Of the

Origin of the word Sabbath.

s. D. o., in the Egyptian Coptic, signified
er"d"'o". 'Sa6e, in Copic. is a sage French,
saUant) The Drudilal priests were called sabs.
ISabenism was the religion that they taught
The Celtic Sab aith was the day on which .Sabs
assembled, whence the term Sabdt, On assembly
in modern history Il name confined TO the noe
turnal assemblies Of sorcerers and wi:ches.-
The Saba day was, therefore, the day on which
the grey headed men, ur aged fathers of
tribe were in the habit Of assembling for coun
'aI or sacrifice. The intervals OF their meeting,
# hebd madal-and they would necessarily be
80 for the Observance of the lunar festivals of
India-would be Saba day. Sabd therefore, be-
came term of computation, standing for the
numeral seven, Just in the same way as the nonn
became identified with tie period of a unation,
which we still call moon or month"; The pub
tic business transacted, and the religions solem.
mites observed on the Saba day. ca used that dav
to be regarded as more important day than any
other, and necessarily gave to the number Saba
or seven, marked significance, which made it
an appropriate name for anything that was com.
plete or perfect afterwards, with the assistance
of astrological priests, it grew into fortunate
and sanred number.
