Lotteries.


The public were probably wholly unaware OF
the extensive ramlcations of the lottery sys-
tenn In the United States, until the recent and
commendable efforts of the Mayor of New York
called general attention TO the subject. The
evils OF even fairly conducted lotteries have
been found so great, that in most countries they
have been suppressed by law. But the lottc-
rlcs which have been broken up by the active
eXertions of the New York Mayor were only
lotteries in name. They were a knayish device
TO obtain money, and their success shows the
extent to which the passion for sudden acquisi-
ton pcrvades the public mind. Aluring
schemes were sent out by thousands and tens
OF thousands all over the country. The needy,
| the hopeful, and the unwary, eagerly invested
their money in tickets /; but no prizes were ever
awarded, because no drawings ever took place.
By this system of swindling, we are told that
men IN various parts of the country have accu-
INFLATED fortunes. One firm of lottery dealers,
at Augusta, in Georgia, it is said, were receiv-
ing, at the time they were arrested, nearly a
thousand dollars week from their unthlnknr
dupes. But notwithstanding such systematic
and carefully contrived villainy, the probability
is that these men will in some way or other,
escape punishment. The community, however,
have been put upon their guard, and if they
will continue to throw away their money upon
knaves and swindlers, they merit no other SEN
ment than contempt.
The spirit of gambling is inherent in human
nature. |: is passion, when once awakened,
nearly impossible to subdue. So injurious have
governments found it to the industry, habits
and morals of their subjects, that they have,
more or less, interposed to repress it: extirpate
it they could not.
The experience of England, France and the
United States, is decisive as to the injurious
effects of lotteries. The Congress that declared
our independence, the Congress of I776, nst-
tuted national lottery. Many of the States
followed their example. Pennsylvania con-
tlHued the system down to a comparatively re-
cent period. And, it has been found, in this |
country as in France and England, that what
ever diverts men from settled pursuits and edu
Gates them TO rely upon their hopes instead OF
their industry, tends inevitably to the impover-
ishment and Generalization of the community.
This is the effect of even fairly conducted lot
terics. Fraudulent lotteries are attended with |
the same mischief, and are unredeemed by even
a possible beneft-NOrih american.

News from the Pacific.

Further confrmatory accounts of the gold
prospect in the far North, came to hand by the
Star of the West, from the Pacific and Oregon.
The papers in Oregon first made futile effort
to check TIE emigration fever, but now merely
strive to direct its course. The route by the
Columbia river, the Dallas and Fort Colville,
is strongly commended, and the testimony of
reliable parties returned from the Frazer river
county, goes far to establish its present great
er feasibility. From the Dallas to the mines
can be made by pack animals-in 20 or 25 days.
There is every reason to believe that ten thou
sand men will leave California in the next
three months for the new Caledonia mines, and
that a large proportion will take the overland
route. They will thus explore the intermedi-
ate region-much of it doubtless auriferous-
and arrive at their destination far better pro-
vided for probable emergencies than those who
set out by way of Puget Sound
The local mining news is also interesting.
A San Francisco letter of May 10Th, says
that some two thousand persons have left Cali
forna for that region, while there are numbers
in almost every section of the State busily pre-
pairing to move on the receipt of the news of ac-
cess to the mining grounds being had by either
the river or land routes from Puget Sound.

Our Relations with England.

The call in the House of Commons on the
evening of the LIST, for information in regard to
the boarding of American vessels by British
cruisers, in the Gulf, shows that Parliament is
going to take an early interest in this ques-
ton; but the reply of Mr.. Fitzgerald on behalf
of the government is not as satisfactory and
definite as it might be.
"Mr. Fitzgerald said the government had no
official information on the subject but he had
reason to believe the reports had been exag-
gerated. They were as anxious as the Ameri-
can government to avoid all cause ofcomplaint;
and strict orders had been issued to the officers
on the stations to be cautious"
Mr.. Fitzgerald is doubtless right in what he
says about the "exaggerations, but as soon
as Mr.. Cass's letter to Mr.. Dallas reaches Eng
land, ct is there ere this) he will have reason
to believe that the case is bad enough, as it is.
The rest of his answer but strengthens the al.
mostuniversal conviction among intelligentmen
here, that the naval commanders have not been
acting upon orders issued by the Admiralty, and
that as soon as their misdoings are reported at
headquarters, the parties offending will bs
summarily admonished.

Floods in the West,

Our Western and South Western exchanges
come TO US with the most melancholy accounts
of the damage by the freshets on the Ohio, Mis-
sissippi, and their tributaries. Nothing of the
kind has been known for years. Railroad
travel is interrupted-and the value of property
of various kinds destroyed must be immense.
Cairo, at the junction of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers, has been overlooked by the great
floods in these streams, and nearly all the
houses destroyed This was caused by Gre
vase in the levee of the Mississippi, through
which the water poured. The houses were
undermined and tumbling down or drifting
away. Scarcely building in the city was ex-
pected to stand the flood. The water was two
and a half feet deep in the second story of the
Taylor House.
On Friday night, the Wabash rose with such
rapidity as TO drive the people out of their
