Getting Fortunes by Lottery.

A Pennsylvania paper has taken some pains
for the purpose of showing how near man
may come to drawing a prize by buying a lot
terry ticket. First, Che says there are upwards
of seventy numbers used in making out the
tickets, and there are three numbers on each
ticket; now the question is how many different
tickets can be mades IL but ten figures, were
used instead of seventy, there could be issued
3628 300 tickets, each different from the others
and if twelve figures were used, instead of seven
ty, there could be issued 79,600,000 tickets; so
a man, in the first instance where there are ten
numbers, would stand one chance out Of 1929
800 chances and in the last instance, where
there are twelve numbers to change by, he would
stand but one chance out of 479,000,600; and
if the whole seventy figures be used, and if so
many different tickets were issued as could be
formed by the Formulation of these numbers, it
is probable that there would be enough to
more than carpet the whole territory Of the
United States. OF course very few are printed,
compared to what might be printed, yet there
is just as good a chance for the prize to fall to
an imprinted ticket as to q printed one. If
does so as no one can claim the money, it re-
mains with those who make the lottery. There
are in such a case thousands of chances in
favor of the lottery-makers. Again; if lot
teries were fairly conducted, there would be
hundreds of thousands each month receiving a
fortune by the high prizes alone; and each
year there could be named from one thousand
to ten thousand persons thus favored by fortune
in this we have only been speaking of one sin
gle prize in each lottery, and as here are many
important ones in each, the fortunate persons
ought to greatly exceed ten thousand annually.
Yet, how seldom do you hear that even s 900
prize is drawn Still, all the prizes of every
lottery should fall on some one at each draw
ing. Who gets them? Where do the favored
ones live ?--and how does it happen that their
names are not paraded before the public each
week? 1t is simply because no one holds a
ticket entitled to the prize, and, of course, the
money remains withthe maker Of the lottery.

The White Slaves Of England, compiled from
official documents. BY John @. Golden. vol.
12mo pp. 500. Derby & Miller: Auburn
While almost every person of influence con-
nected with the English press considers the insti-
tuition Of slavery 1t now exists in our country,
proper subject for exciting and stimulating for
eign prejudices against us and for calling forth
the opprobrious epithets the language affords,
il is natural and proper that we should look for
vindicaton, far as vindication is possible, of
our country and institutions this particular
subject.
We think therefore, Mr.. Golden deserves the
thanks of the whole country for the research and
ability he has displayed in procuring materials of
such an authentic character relativet the subject
under consideration
We are here shown that, notwithstanding the
never-ending crusade of words which England has
urged against us since her abolition of negro
slavery, state ofthngs far more serious and de-
plorable than anything this side of the Atlantic
exists in almost every city, mine, and factory,
throughout the United Kingdom, from Lands End
on the south, TO John OGroats house in the north.
We thought, before read this book, the subject
was one with which we were toerably familiar,
but were greatly mistaken; and but for the evil
dence by which the authors assertions sus-
tanned, we even now would not dare credit the
distressing accounts of indgence and misery with
which almost every page is teeming. We gladly
turn from like this, 10 Our beloved, though
by them, much reviled country, and thank Provi-
dence tnat mere we are never cOnpeued 10 VIII
ness such awful spectacles of human suffering
from which the soul recoils with horror.
Nor does the author indulge in mere assertions
unsustained by any proof; on the contrary, much
Of what he has written is selected from the reports
ofcommittees appointed expressly by Parliament
for the investigation Of the subject Such ranting
fanatics as George Thompson would be doing the
cause of freedom more service by remaining at
home, and there endeavoring to ameliorate the
condition of the human race, for which they pro-
fess such great sympathy, than by crossing the
ocean, and denouncing us for tolerating an evil
not half so enormous as one left behind them in
their auded land Of freedom. The publishers
have issued the book in a form at once neat and
substantial, and worthy Of its character.
