Male nf Drawing—The numbers will be
put into one wheel ss usual—and in the
other whoel will be put the prizes above the
denomination of four dollars, and the draw
ing to progress in the usual manner. The
20,000 prizes of $4, will be awarded to the
odd or even numbers of the Lottery, (as the
rase may ho) dependant on the drawing of
the capital prize of $40,000—that ie to say,
if l he 40,000 dollars prize should come ou
to an odd number, rlien every odd number
in the scheme will be entitled to a $4 prize.
If the 40,000 dollar prize should come out
to an even numbi r, then all the even num
bers in the scheme will be each entitled to
a prize of 4 dollars.
The odd Numbers are those ending witl t
, 3, 5, 7 or 9.
The even Numbers are those ending with
2, 4, 6, 8 orO.
This mode of drawing not only enables
the Commissioners to complete the whole
Lottery in one drawing, but has the great
advantage of di tributing tho small prizes
regularly to every nltenmte number in tho
schemes, so that the holder of two tickets
or two shares of tickets, (one odd and one
t-ven number)will bo certain of obtaining at
least one prize, and in the same ratio for
any greater quantity.
A ticket drawing a superior prize in this
scheme, is not restricted from drawing an
inferior one also—many tickets therefore,
will necessarily obtain two prizes each.

Tile Albany Daily Advertiser lias publish
ed a historical sketch ol'll.o F.ras in tlie pro-
gress of the New-York Canal, from a work
just published by M. Yates, tho Serretaiy
of State. From this statement, we find that
G. Morris gave the first hint of “tapping
Lake Eric” in 1803. On the 4tli of Febru
ary. 1803, the first legislalive proceedings
took place on the subject! while (he firsk
law establishing a Canal Fund, and direc
ting the Canal to be commenced, was pass
ed on the 15th of April, 1317. On the 4th
of July following, the first excavation was
made. During the first season, 15 miles
were completed. From January, 11118, to
January, 1819,117 miles were completed ;
and in October of the same year, the whole
middle aection being completed, on tne 23d
the Canal was opened and nnvignled by
Commissioners, from Utica to Romo. In
December, l8l9,theChampisin Canal was
ITkiished and navigated. The first toll token
on the Erie Canal, was on 1st of July, 1320,
Outlie 1st of September, 1822, the groat
dam at Fort Edward was finished, su that a
continuous sheet of 9u0 feet of warier runs
over the whulo length of that stupendous
structure. On tlie loth of October billow
ing, the Canul was filled with water between
Rochester and Briilport; and tlie aqueduct
over Genesee river, 802 feet long, slid con
taining eleven arclieB, wns completed. In
October, 1823, two stupendous aqueducts
bom Albany and Schenectady, 1892 feet
Ions, and containing 29 locks, were finished;
and oil the 8th of the sumo moth, Ihe first
boat passed from the West and the North,
tlirongh the Canal, into the tide-waters of
the Hudsun, nt Albany.
In 18-21 only 10 boats passed on the Chain
plain Canal; in 1823, they exceeded 100 —
The debt due, lur constructing the Canals,
at the close of 1824, was $7,467,770 90.—
The duties on sa were $106,000 j and th*
total excess uf revenue above the interest of
the debt was $300,000. During 1824, 10,-
000 boats passed at the function of tlie Eri*.
and Champlain Cannls. Boats with mer
chandise travel about 56 miles in 22 hours;
those with passengers, go at the rate of 4
miles an hour. There are 300 bridges a*
cross the Canal, between Utica and Albany
and 80 between Utica and Little Fails.—
A boat can pas9 a lock a lock in 6 minutes;
and 108 in a day; and the average, last
year, was 40. Present dybt estimated at
$7,700,000; income ol canal fund $880,000.
-Tolls received iu 1824, $5,437 34

Add for Champlain Canal, 46,214 45
$531,396 15
It Is estimated that, in 1838, the income
from the toll will be 1,000,000 dollars, and.
the population of Ihe State 2,000,000 souls.
The whole length of the Erie Canal is 353
miie9 ; that ot'the Champlain Canal 61 mile*
At present it is calculated that the Cana)
enn be navigated about 220 days in the
year i and it is supposed, when the forests
are cut down, and the iinprnveitients of the
country shall have meliorated the climate,
it will be increased to 250 or 2ft5 days.—
The boats which navigate the canuls are
from 35 to 45 tuns. More thau 500.000
bustle's of water-proof lime were used in
building the canal. It is computed that the
total cost of the canals, when completed
including the satisfaction for ail claims for
damages, will be $10,123,789; and that ten
years will suffice to cancel the debt. Til*
principal Engineers, employed on the Erie
and r.iiuinplnin Canals, have been, through,
out the whole period which has been occu
pied in the construction of these works, n»
live ritizene, with the unimportant exception
of one French and one Irish gentleman, who
were each employed one year in making
some preliminary examinations.
The reflections which these facts gnggest
are highly honourable to our national in.
dustry and enterprise ; and the success
which has crowned this gigantic effort of"
mental and bodily oxertion, is the greatest
inducement to simliar works of public utility.
S a i. isn on o, Ju no 21—Gold Speculation
We learn, that within n tew weeks, past
certain " knowing ones" from Connecticut
have visited the Gold Mines in Montgomery
county, and have succeeded in obtaining
/cnsMofsomcofthe less valuable ones, fop
the term of ninety-nine years. Since the
departure ofthese lessees, some of the h'S.
sors, if not all of them, have discovered tl at
they have been “ taken in,” and they evince
no little dissatisfaction on account of it. It
appears that these - knowing ones' repre
sented themselves as the agents of an exis-
ting company in Connerlicut, with ample
funds, associating for the purpose of work
ing the mines in North-Carolina s thot they
had been at the mines in South America,
and possess great skill and art in finding the
precious metuls ; that they intended impor
ting a number of miners from South Ameri
ca and Europe, and to carry on the business
with extensive machinery, steam-engines,
and other extensive fixments, that, with all
these contrivances, they will be enabled to
find not less than from 500 to a 1000 penny,
weights of gold per day—Sic. Sic.
by artful representations ufthis kind, they
have succeeded in obtaining leases of some
of the mines on terms very favorable to them
selves. It is believed, however, that these
men have overacted their parts i and that
all these contracts, if desired, may be dis
solved, on the grounds that unfuir and un.
due means were used to effect them.
It is suspected by some, that the only
view these men have in obtaining the leas
es, is to sell out again; and, by a speculation
of this kind, to turn their cunning to goud
account. If this be the fact, it wou Id b*
well for the lawyears at the north to bewara,
least they, in buying gold mines, “nay dear
for their whistle."
No tribunal ot justice will enforce con
tracts obtained by collusion, artifice and
I fraud : at least we foe) assured the court* *f
NotUi-Catoljn* Mill not do il.
