lo54.--R. France & Co.. managers of the Mary
land State Lotteries, would respectfully warn the
public against the fraudulent schemes recently
gotten up and extensively circulated through the
country by g George w. Male & Co." and : B. b.
Mars & Co." These fictitious parties have repre-.
sented themselves as Managers" and though
having their circulars dated in Jersey City, and re-
questing their correspondents to address them at
the New York post Office, have, in order to aid
their fraudulent designs the circulars stamped in
the Baltimore post office, TO make it appear that
they are connected with the authorized lotteries OF
this State. The whole is fraud, against which
the public is cautioned.
r. France g. Co. are the sole managers of the
MARYLAND State lotteries, and any other lotteries
purporting to be decided by the Maryland draw
ings are frauds. Mar 7-2awif.

Nor IMPROBABLE.-Af friend of ours, who
has been close observer OF the effects of ntempe-
rance on the slave population and who thoroughly
assures us that more poisons put in one barrel
of whiskey by country cross-road tippler, than a
manufacturer of the article would put 10 twenty
barrels. He asserts that this class of men buy a
barrel of common liquor from the wholesale mer.
chant at fair price, and then, In order to increase
their profits, they drug and poison that BARREL until
it is strong enough TO make two OF. If this be true.
we do not wonder that negroes frequently die from

Pocshontas Kiper and Mary Darrouche, were ar.
raigned before the Mayor yesterday morning,
charged with breaking into the house of Nathan
from sundry articles OF wearing apparel. jewelry,
etc., within the past ten days. Marcus, it
seems, had been absent from the city seve-
raj days, during which time he declares he
has been robbed, and his cause for suspect
ing these girls, was, that they had lived in a
portion OF the house occupied by himself and wife
that he had turned them into the street In the
night time-and that they had complained to the
Mayor OF his conduct. Judson Crane Esq ap-
peared for the defendants, and by close and cut.
ting cross examination was making Marcus feel all
over in spots about the size of a blanket, when His
Honor cut short the good work, by discharging the
young ladies' doubt being perfectly satisfied that
the prosecution had been instituted from improper
motires-and possibly from malice.
