A Bill had been sent up from the other Honse of Parliament, for consolidating into one . Act all* the' Laws against Smuggling, and other frauds upon the Revenue.— . This Bill also included and con fi rmed all the capital punishments against such crimes. He had opposed the Bill in that shape, as unfit to be adopted, without the , • opportunity of fully considering and discussing - the , nature of the crimes thus subjected to the punish. ment of death ; and, therefore, he bad mhved that a separate Bill should be prepared by the Judges, in cluding all the crimes ;igainst which former Acts de nounced the punishment of death ! That Bill was now on the table. It had been read the first time, and described noiess than seventy-five crimes against re venue lasfts-subject to the punishment of death. He thooghtit wholly unfit to be enacted, as inconsistent • 7 with -the Int•rcifnl apiiit of British legislation.

Friends and the Public, the Lottery which draws the Bth of JUNE, gives the greatest chance to the Adventurer for so small a risk : Four Paskets of Tickets, one Hundred in each Packer, are to be given by the Contractors to the fortunate Hollers of the first-drawn Prize above £l3, when a Ticket may gain upwards of i£IOO,CCO, and Shares in proportion. EYTON has been truly lucky in selling Packets of Tickets : ro. 7,021, producing nearly ',woo, and No. 3,618. producing 5t34,765, was sold lb Sfittetn Sixteenths, and paid by him to the respective Holders, who received for each Sixteent 4E1447 16s. 3d.
