WHEN I made the late Lottery Scheme, I intro duced Thirty Thousand Pound Prizes (as I generally do when Contractor); and I gave as a reason for so doing, that those Prizes are generally sold. at my Offices, and the result has proved the correctness of my anticipation, for I sold No. 15,766 the £50,000 Prize, drawn 3d instant, in •Seven Shares; and I am happy to find the present Contractor has adopted my plan, as lie has introduced Two .€30,000 Prizes ; therefore I look forward to next Month adding to the already splendid List of 430,000 Capi tals sold by me, for I sold the First ever drawn, the Last ever drawn, Three in one Lottery, and Fourteen other 130,000 Prizes. I do not hesitate acknowledging that the present Scheme is an im provement upon mine, for, in addition to the Two £30,000 Prizes there are Two of £20,000, and various other Capitals, and my tr rangement of not having any Blanks is continued ; but the princi pal feature in the New Scheme, is, that some persons must, for the trifling Risk of £4. 19s. get the Two £90,000 Prizes, and all the other Capitals may be gained by an equally trifling Risk ; and fur less than Ten Shillings £1,250 must be obtained.—Schemes, with full Particulars of this advantageous mode of adventure, may be had gratis, at my Offices, where Tickets and Shares are on sale. I have the honour to be, 4, Cornbill, and Your devoted Servant, 9, Charing-Cross. T. DISH, Stockbroker. Cr I feel so confident in the stability of the English Funds, and so assured that the Prices of all British Securities must be consi derably higher, that I hereby undertake to pay the Holders of either of the Stuck Prizes in the present Lottery, if bought at my Offices, £lOO Money breach £lOO 3 per Cents. should they not be above that Price in the Stock Market when the Prizes are drawn. - The Lottery draws the 16th of NEXT MONTH. 1907 70 250 500 140 110 83 10 142 17 8 2 4 10 2 8 1 4 5 pa 90 pd 50 pd 40 pd 20 pd 2409 £43,526 700 100 100 9000 16000 122. pd 4 prsh. pd prsh. pd 35 pd 107 10 10,000 60,000 1 pd bpd 5 pd 1 pd .i ..,. 40,000 10,000 50tX) 1080 M.

None are genuine but those which have the corks sealed with the impression, "J. Cocks, Beading," and also the following descrip tion of the Sauce. on an orange-colour , .! label, " Reading Sauce for Fish, enriching Gravies, itc. Prepared and Sold, Wholesale. and Retail, by J. CocKs, Reading." This Sauce is generally used at table with all sorts of Fish, in preference to all other Fish &laces, and is esteemed peculiarly deli cious with Game, Wild Fowl, flashes, Steaks, and Cold Meet. — Warranted to keep good Seven Years in any climate. It is presumed that no Sauce ever met with such general approbation and extensive sale. It is patronised and recommended by most of the Fuse Fasticus in the Kingdom, and is retailed in London by 150 of the most respectable Oilmen and Fish Satic? V:tnders; in Bath, by 50 ; Bristol, 20 ; Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, and Aber deen, ; and by nearly all the principal Fish Sauce Dealers in the United Kingdom, most of whom sell CUCKS'S Genuine and Superior Essence of Auctrovnts, made with prime Gorgona Fish, rich as possible. HOOPING COUGH CURED wiTuour INWARD MEDICINE. TN consequence of the beneficial effects of ROCHE'S EMROCATION for the cure of that distressing complaint the HOOTING COUGH, his :Majesty's Letters Patent were granted to J. Rocur, to secure to him his valuable composition. ' Many thousands of children are cured annually by this remedy ; .on the first attack an immediate application of the EMBROCA TION will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constii u don, akd a few times may completely cure. In the most obsti nate cases, perseverance will produce the desired effect; and no remedy can be so well calculated fur children as this, fur it requires no medicine to be taken inwardly. In no case can this medicine be genuine unless signed on the wrapper by J. Itociir, and on every stamp the names of Shaw and Edwards, 66, St. Paul's Church-yaol.—Price 41. and 11. 2s. per bottle.

CAMPBELL, DATED 19r11 MAY, 1824. Information having been received that five rafts were .constructing, and war-boats collecting at no great dis tance up the River, Commodore Grant, some days ago, sent the boats of his ship, under Lieutenant 'Wilkinson, of the Liffey, for the purpose of reconnOitting. They fell in with and destroyed one boat (the crew escaping) having seen several others, which effected their escape Our boats had two seamen wounded by musketry from the shore. On the evening of the 14th, it was thought farther advisable that the River should be explored considerably higher up, and for this purpose, Lieutenant Wilkinson, with the boats of the Liffey, accompanied by linty rank and file of his Majesty's 41st Regiment, under Lieutenant M•Lean, went about eighteen miles up, receiving a smart fire of musketry from the villages on either bank, both in going and returning. At one place in particular the enemy assembled in considetalde force, but were speedily dispersed by the fire from the boats; on which occasion Lieutenant Wilkinson expressed himself in terms of high admiration of the determined gallantry and coolness of the patty of his Majesty's 41st Regiment. They had three rank and tile wounded. A work having been observed in preparation at the village of Kemmendine, only four miles distaut lions the shipping, which if allowed to be completed might prove a very serious annoyance, the. Commodore and I determined upon destroying it, for which purpose a sufficient number of boats w ere ordered trout the fleet under the command of Lieutenant Wilkinson, at.d I ordered the grenadier company of his Majesty's 38th Regiment, under Captain Birch, to be entbatked on board of them. The whole were in readiness and sailed a little before day-light on the morning of the 16th. Herewith I beg leave to inclose Captaiti.Bircles re port of the result, which leaves me to regret the lobs of a valuable Officer, Lieuzenant Kerr, of 'the Stlth Regi ment, who, with one rank and file, was killed, and nave rank and tile wounded. On the part of the Navy, ill 't enterprising and active Officer,-Lieutenant ilkinson, and five seamen were wounded. The spirited decision of Captain Birch and Lieute nant Wilkinson, and the gallant mant,er in which their orders were can into effect by both Officets and men, merit every praise, and must have left a strong impres sion upon the enemy of what they have to expect should offer of Winging them fitly into con atancto opportunity ity i o th rtu ti n ießritish arms.
