I have already stated, that se veral persona belonging to Newspapers have had an iderest in .Letsts and Letreesxs, and I understand fzie have had more than the Proprietor of the Tints. In the present Lottery, however, the Contractors did not think proper to admit Mr. WALTER to par- - ticipate in the expected profits, which, agreeable to to the last Lottery, _ would have amounted to p OtiNDS a Ticket. This, Sir, is the osten sible cause of the quarrel between the Times and the LOTTERY CoNTAACTOILS, whom I shall leave to settle the bone of contention which way they please, and briefly notice some of the mischief at tending the Lorrzeses in this country., The evil consequences of raising Government supplies by a Lorrrev were very ably pointed out by Mr. WHIT 'READ, some years since,' in the House of Commons ; and it was expected that a stop would have been put to se disgraceful a system. It is wall known that the Lotteries are supported by the middle and lower Classes of society, who, weary of their burdens, en deavour to secure. a,cosnpetency by purchasing a chance is tisetottery, without consiairing, or even knowing, tiart - trts mine Ifitiiffwo to7oNs.4.aiust them. The effecrie generallydiSappointment, and attended with the *linsi serious consequences, particularly among the lower orders; by expending in this delu sive snare the:4We pittance which should have sup ported themselves and families for some time to come. It is possible an adventurer may have a large prize, which the contractors exhibit to dazzle the eyes of spectilatort, but the chance is so small as mot to attract the notice of any one acquainted with it. Should a capital prize fall to the lot of a person in low circumstances, it seldom or ever does them any real service: In France, and ether countries, where Lotteries ire permitted, they are managed iu a different way, allowing only a profit of about ten ' per cent. insttad of the impositions and deceptions practised in this country, of paying TWENTY Pousos for • what is intrinsically worth only Tts I—ln fact, Lotteries are now become so great a nuisance, that' a remedy is abso ? lately necessary ; anti it filo be hoped, 'that the PRINCE REcENT will advise : his Mimic:ay tip sup press them entliely . shall :not at present:introde further on your notice, but should you gratify my wishes by giving this Insertion, you may hear again from i Year's, &e.

TO Tim EDlT'OlcBflfE STATESStAIf. , Siit,- - While every 'rational being in the Metro polis, horrified and . disgusted by the scenes passing de r see teview;' is loudly demanding a, more effi tient Police; the Editor of the t'ourier, who, indeed, is in general at war with common sense, has the effrontery to tell us, that our Police is excellent, and challenges a proof of its defee‘s t--What this man can have in view I am at a hata,to guess ; bat as he is Captaliref the Sycophants, I have no doubt he is finessingitor something. The numberless crimes committed dliily t one-half of which never meet the public eye, are alarming and melancholy proofs of the necessity of instant reform in our Police Sys tem, and I think with you, that it should be modelled upon military principles % by,selajch instant and gratuitous assistance may be afforded to every citizen 1 who is plundered, without the necessity of bribing I one rogue to look after another, and thus tripling our loss. Alt that . scandalous intimacy between thieves and thief -takers must be put a stop to, and the haunts of those vagabonds destroyed, root and branch. Was there ever any thing so monstrous ill' policy or morals, as acknowledged academies for villany ? where the noviciate 40 r .tjos, thieviOratil Is (rat introduced ; ---where'lllllWrlllieies are farther instructed and 4herdeitedji 14-ime ;In' dr, where murders. and robberies are planned c ud. matured!! Nature shrinks at the idea.; but never.: theless all Orli is true. Those infernal establishments , 'are well known to the Police, and are defended upon this no able principle, that by these associations the, officers know where to search for thieiest! 'This's the present system ; and I will defy the ingenuity .ii man to invent or imagine any thing more detestable in its nature, or fraught with more danger to the lives, property, or morals of the community. The first thing that ought to be done is, to appre hend every known thief and receiver in town ; this the law will permit. Send the whole of them to so litary confinement and hard labour for the longest time specified in the Statute, with a solemn assurance upon their liberation, that if, after so many days; they are again found without the means of getting an honest living, they will be remanded to their former solitary labour, and so on, as often as they are en larged, until they are forced to pursue an honest' mode of livelihood. By this simple operation, I would pledge my existence, that in twelve months time, thieves in London would be almost annihilated. Pursue them like wild beasts ; let no two of them ever meet together, far less thief-takers and thieves, ,who ought at all times to be like eat and mon*, never to approach but in mortal fray. The adroit:' ness which some Magistrates affect to prlde them selsrein, in the - domination of Tfirives"Tireel-' temptible. Slang and cunning are incompatible with the dignity of magistracy ; nor are they neces nary. Strict discipline and common sense will sooti unveil ever'' , crime. I am well aware that this system will be strenu ,i ',oily opposed by the present Police men, because it - • Ironid cut up the source of their pro fi ts ; the value of 1 which many of your Readers will be astonished to learn, when I assure them that there are several thief-takers in London, whose income exceeds one thousand a year! No wonder that those men should cry out, " Gl* is DIANA of the Epbesians!" Tlit7 con siderthe present system as a priviledged mode for them to make fortunes. If you make application to to One of those great thief-takers to apprehend a petty thief, he would look upon himself as affronted ; it IV only the little thief-takers that are appointed for this purpose, and if the robber bribes higher than the, ribbed, he is sure to escape. The great thief taker picks out what he calls good jobs, and will pay attention to no other—such.as attending at No blemen's routs—at the Bank on paying the Dividends ; &e. Surely it never was in the contemplation of, Government to establish a system of Police, for the purpose of making large fortunes to contemptible understrappers, at the expence of the community.— Some of those fellows have realized upwards of twenty thousand pounds ! ! Could a thief-taker do this fairly and honourably ?. I believe . no man of common sense will affirm IL - In fine, let 4 strict and simple Police be established, conducted by people ,who are willing to do their duty for their salary only. Let every rogue be incessantly pursued, until he either quits society or turns out an honest man; and a very little time will most palpably shew the beneficial effects. A CITIZEN. NOTTINGHAM, DEC. 30.—The accounts which hate. hitherto appeared in the provincial papers, of the outrages committed in Derbyshire, fall short of the truth ; for the numerous burglaries and highway robberies which have been committed in that county, within the last ten days, ire truly alarming. , From the gangs of nightly prowlers that hover about, no species of property is safe, without the protection of a civil and military watch.- The inhabitants, for miles around, parade nightly in their turd ; and yes terdax an addition to the military guard was made,: by Bending the hussars from •Nottingliim.
