Journal copies from a French paper the following
account of lottery at Paris, in which young lady
with handsome fortune the highest prize.
The affair has certainly very French appearance
"a young girl, warranted to be we'll educated

prize in recent lottery at Paris. The prospectus

bly, warrantablc In young lady's beauty, &c;
and, when all the tickets sold, she will be intro
duced 20 subscribers, at ball given previous 10 the
drawing.
"What seems stranger still, at first glance, IL,
that ladies and married are invited, equally
with bachelors TO take tickets in this remarkable
lottery. The consistency Of this Is explained by
tho frequent examples OF prizes drawn by those
them at a sacrifice and another lottery is instanccd
where service OF plate, worth 75,OO0f, is the prin-
cipal prize. The drawer of such luxury, which
none but prince could use, would of course part
with IL for its mere value in silver, and in like
manner, an unmarriagcablc drawer Of a young
lady with dowry would forego the fair shape
With which the dowry camc-taking only the mo

programme, that the young lady can refuse the,
match by rclinqushing the whole of the dowry, il
her rcpugnance TO the drawer should be insupcra-

CHARLEs LAME ON DIsEAsE.-Charles Lamb, in

merry fellow (you partly know him) who, when
his medical adviser told him he had drunk away
all that part, congratulated himself (now his liver
gomez that he should be the longest liver of the
two. The best way in these cases Is to keep your
self as ignorant as you can-as ignorant as the
world was before Galcn-of the entire inner con-
structions of the animal man; not TO be conscious
of midrif; to hold kidneys (save Of sheep and
swinc) to be an agreeable fiction; not to know
whereabouts the gall grows; to account the circu-
laton of the blood the mere idle whim of Harvey's
TO acknowledge no mechanism not visible. For
once, fix the seat Of your disorder and your ncies
fux into il like so many bad humors. Those med
cal gentry choose each his avoritc part One takes

CONGRESSIONAL LATINA correspondent Of the
New York Erening Post, who, that paper says,
mastered his Latin Accidencc some time ago,
writes follows:
'It is great comfort 10 me that our members OF
Congress arc beginning TO quote Latin. You can
not think how much was edited yesterday in
reading the report Of Mr.. Foote'S speech. made
Wednesday in the United States Senate, in which
ne addressed MIR. Benton with the first words in the
hrst Grafton Of Cicero against Catalsne 'Ruousque
tandem abuferis Catalina pafienfa noshaf' Boys Of
twelve years old make their beginning In Cicero
with these words, and il is pleasant 10 think that
Senator Footc has not wholly forgotten all that
taught him at school at that tender age
"Mr. Foote, I hcst, has been schoolmaster. He
has made, perceive, some attentions In the Latin
grammar which the ancicnts would not, perhaps
have regarded az improvements. For example, he
calls Mr.. Benton pafer Scnah, which, IL uttered in
the Roman forum by speaker, would have con-
vuscd the assembled people with laughter"

attacked by my nearest relations, | have no
resource than in your fidelity, i'm your courage anu
my own constancy. Icommit TO your care the son
of your king, who has other safety than your
protection" At the spectacle of the beauty and
distress of their young queen, the Hungarians, a
warlike people, drew their swords, and exclaimed,
as with one voice: s'Wc will die for queen,
Maria Thercsa!' An army assembled; and
the queen, who had two powerful supports in her
talents, and the love of her people, recovered
several important places; the kings Of England and
Sardinia espoused her cause; and, after eight years
Of war, Maria Theresa was confirmed in her rights
by the peace of l74S. She then directed her attcn
ton to repairing the evils which the war had occa-
sioned; the arts were encouraged, and commerce
extended. The ports of Trieste and Turin were
opened to all nations; Leghorn extended her com
merce TO the Lcvant and the East Indies. The city
Of Vienna was enlarged and enbcllishcd, and man
ufactures OF cloth, porcelain, silk, &c. were estab
iished in its vast suburbs To encourage science,
the Empress created universities and colleges
throughout her dominions, of which, at Vienna.
bears her name. She founded schools for drawing,
sculpture, and architecture; formed public libra
ries at Prague and Inspruck, and raised magnfi-
cent observatories at Vienna, Gratz, and Herman.
In 1855 the torch Of war was again kindled, and
was not extnguished till 1853, when the treaty of
Hubcrtsborough placed the affairs of Germany ON
nearly the same footing as before the war. Tho
only advantage Maria Theresa reaped was, elect
ing her son Joseph king of the Romans in l764.
The next year she experienced great domestic
misfortune in the loss of her husband, to whom
she had been tenderly attached; the mourning she
assumed never laid aside during. her life; and
she founded at lnspruck chapter of nuns, whose
office was to pray for the repose of the soul Of this
beloved husband. Vienna beheld her every month
water with her tears the tomb Of this prince, who,
for thirty years, had been her support and ad-
wiser.
After a long and glorious reign, and having be-
held her eight children seated on the thrones, or
united to the monarchs of some of the most flourish
ing States of Europe, and having mcrited the title
of mother of her country, Maria Theresa descend
cd 10 he in Her Iast we
employed in shedding benefits upon the poor and
orphans; and the following were some of the last
words which she uttered: ''That state in which you
behold me- said she to her son. sis the terni
nation of what is called power and grandeur Dur
ing long and painful reign of forty years, ii have
loved and sought after truth; may have been mis-
taken in my choice, my intentions may have been
i'll understood, and worse executed; but He who
knows all, has the purity of my intentions,
and the tranquility now enjoy is the first pledge Of
his acceptance, and embodens me to hope for more,
One of the most consoling thoughts on my DEATH
bed," said she, sis, that have never closed my
heart to the cry of misfortune"

MARrA THEHrsA, Empress Queen ofBohemia and
Hungary, was the daughter ofthe Emperor Charles
VI, who, losing his only son, constituted her the
heir ofhis dominions. She was born in I7I7, and,
at the ago OF nineteen, married Francis Of Lorraine;
and, on the death of her father, in 1740, ascendcd
the throne. No sooner had she attained that en-
We'd, though dangerous position, than the neghbor
ing princes invaded her dominions ON all sides;
and she, being no longer in safety al Vienna, fled
for protection 10 her Hungarian subjects. She as
sembcd the States, and presenting herself before
them, with her infant in her arms, addressed them
in Latin in the following memorable words: "Aban-
doncd by my friends, prosecuted by my enemies,
