I—TO THE PUBLIC. N addressing you, " my best Friends," for the last time, as Contractor, I do feel various sensations not to be described ; inexpressible gratitude for years of unbounded preference and fa vours bestowed for a long series of years, not merely on myself, but on my late father. We have, it is true, as Dispensers of the fa. yours of the Blind Goddess, been most eminently successful in distributing an unprecedented List of Capitals, amounting in the aggregate to many Millions; and, ss Lotteries increased in num. her, my fame for the distribution of its wealth increased also. It is, therefore, with the sincerest regret I announce that the Legisla ture has come to what I consider a very unwise decision, viz. to abolish Lotteries. And for what reason ? Only to please a few per. sons, who have not examined their merits, but have confounded Illegal transactions with the legitimate. I may be considered to take a partial view of the case ; but where a system has gone on without intermission e ve r s i nce t h e reign of Queen Anne, and brought annually nearly Half a Million into the Treasury, I can not but agree with an eminent writer, who says, " Surely the pre sent is not the best period for experintents ;" and it would, in my Nimble opinion, have been more wise to have done away with seve rat obnoxious and paltry Taxes (vexatious in their collection), than to annihilate the Lottery, which, let it be well borne in mind, is a voluntary Tax ; and, by its continuance, not only might those obnoxious Taxes be removed, but hundreds of per sons kept to employment who must now be discharged; and is this a time to add to the number of those who want support ? It Is, however, useless to repine—the Government have decided that it shall be so—and all that can be now done is, to make the most of the short time allowed before the system is abolished. As one of the last Contractors, I have arranged, with my Colleagues, such a Scheme as must, I think, give universal satisfaction. It contains the very unprecedented number of SIX Grand Prizes of 311,0001. Money (no former Lottery ever contained more than Four): and n,y fame for sale of 30,000/. Prises is proverbial—l sold the first, the last, and more than half of all that have ever been drawn ! No Blanks—all Sterling Money—and all to be decided in One Day, Pith JULY, being the very Last Drawing or aIL Tickets and Shares are on Sale at my Offices, where Schemes may he had gratis. The Price will riseconsiderably on Monday, the 27L11 instant. 1 have the honour to be, Your devoted Servant, T.

Persons insured for Life in this Of f ice share the profits septen nially with the original Members, according to their respective con. tributions. Thus, by the specific sums insured, and contingen profits, they have the fullest value for their paypents, in a manner nearly similar to that formerly adopted in the Equitable Office, but with this presumed improvement, viz. that as the original Members have raised a permanent fund, deemed amply sufficient for the pur pose of indemnity, it Is provided that no personal responsibility shall attach to the policy-holders ; hence those who seek protection are secured from uncertainty and risk of loss, as in a Proprietary Office having a large inheritable capital, and are entitled to a par. ticipation in the profits, as in a I 'nion Society. Military Alen Insured at this Office are not charged with any ad ditional premium, unless called into actual service. Persons insured by this Office, not being mariners in the exercise of their profession, are at liberty to pass and repass by sea in whole. decked vessels, or steam-boats, from one part of the United King dom to another; and also, in time of peace, in like manner, from British to Foreign Ports between the Texel and Brest inclusive, without license and extra premium. Peraons removing to unhealthy climates, or subject to bodily in. firmities, may be insured, upon a full disclosuee of the facts, and the payment of proportionate additional premiums. If any person who has insured his Lite in this Office die by sui. Bide, duelling, or the hands of justice, his representatives may re. deive the full value which his policy bore on the day previous to the time of his death. .... _ No admission fees are required, nor is any charge made for po licies, except the stamp duty. Bonuses of 15/. 12s. and 26!. l2s. per cent. have been divided during the last fourteen years; another septennial.dividend will be made next year, in which persons now insuring will participate.

Ills Lordship observed, that from a calculation which he had made of the value of benefices in three dioceses, it appeared that the average amount was not more than 2851. a year; and he was sure, upon an inquiry, it would be found that the value of Church property had been greatly over-rated. Lord CLIFDEN said it would be desirable also to ascertain the number of Protestants in Ireland, as it would be desirable to know the number of the flock as well as the emoluments of the rectors.

Mr. SMITH presented a petition from Louth, in the pro 'ince of Leinater, praying a removal of the disabilities Imposed upon the Roman Catholics. Upon the question that the petition be brought up, Mr. HUME said the whole of the property in Ireland was de teriorated under the present system. If that country were put on the Fame footing as Scot:And, there would be a relief to the amount of two or three millions of taxes. This was not merely a question of religion ; and he put it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was not at this period, when the revenue was known to be deficient, worth his while to adopt any available means for its increase ? That this might he effected, by attending to the prayer of the petitioners, he had no hesitation in saying. The petition was then read O and ordered to be printed. URNM ENT._ Mr. Secretary CANNING then moved that the House should adjourn at its nsing to Friday next. Air. HUME said lie wished to bring before the House the sub ject of regulations now existing respecting promotion in the army, and he feared by the adjournment proposed he should be deprived of en opportunity. Mr. Secretary CANNING said the House would meet on Fri day, when the lion. Member would be able to bring forward the business he proposed. Mr. HUME said he had been before disappointed on such meg. gone, by a certain knock at the door of the House.

Member a House, but he certainly could not guarantee him a beating. (Much laughter.) ABOLITION 07 SLAVERY. Mr. HUSKISSON said he had to present to the House two petitions from two bodies of his constituents in Liverpool. The petitioners approved of the course which had been adopted by his Majesty's Minister'', And were not anxious for the preservation of the system of slavery ; but they prayed the House not by un. necessary discussion to keep the question in such agitation. and the slaves in such a state of excitement, as might have the effect of precluding Ministers from carrying the measures they emitem. plated into effect. They stated that their property in the 'West Indies had been much deteriorated by the continued agitation of the question.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. F. BUXTON presented petitions. against Slavery from C,eme, Dorsetehire; from the congregation of Claremont Chapel, Pentonville ; from Verne, Wexford; from Camiguin ; from Herwick, Roxburgh; front Severity.

Windsor Castle and Buckingham House. which had also .eon furnished ; and he therefore made a similar motion in re ion to that return. Ordered forthwith. Till KING'S BENCH PRISON. Mr. HUME said, he last night presented • petition from en in.. dividual mimed David Latouche, complaining that the Mondial had charged him 2071. for the rules of the King's Bench Prison, and subsequently confined him within the walls. The petition con. tattled other allegations which he (Mr. Hume) did not think it necessary to notice. He had since made himself acquainted with the circumstances of Mr. Jones's conduct. On reference to the rules and regulation'', he found that Mr. Jones was authorised in making this charge ; that he was entitled to 5/. for the first hundred of a prisoner's debt, and 41. for every after hundred. He (Mr. Humes now objected to the law which enabled the Marshal to make these exactions. On instituting an inquiry, he found that Mr. Jones would give Mr. Latouehe the rules again, if he gave security for his debt, and to keep the peace. Ile shouhl move, under these en. cumstances, that the petition be brought up. Mr. DAWSON said the Marshal was remarkable for his hums. nity and excellent conduct. He might have charged 3:10/. if he had pleased for the Rules he had given. I'he conduct of the peti. tioner had been most outrageous; he had fired pistols at the patrol, and was guilty of other excesses. The Magistrate had recom. mended that he should be confined within the walls. Mr. M. A. TA YI4)R said a more correct or humane officer titan 51r. Jones he did not know. He was sure there could be no foundation for the allegations in the petition. Mr. HUME said the gravanien of the charge consisted in the petitioner being confined within the walls without being repaid the money he had given for the Rules. He (Mr. Fiume) thought slr. Jones was justified in making the charges he ha/. He freely confessed, after what he had learnt of the character of the petitioner, that he was not warranted in sayi?.g anytiting par. ticularly in his favour. The petition was then laid on the table. MR. °OUR LAY. Mr. HUME presented a petition front Serres. in the county of Fife, praying the !louse to take into consideration the case of Mr. Gourlay.—Laid on the table. The Hon. Member also presenter' a petition from a weaver in Glasgow, complaining that he did not get more than front lis. to As. per week, as wages. fhe petitioner proved the House to fiX a tirliamagni of wages, as Parliament had Axed a minimum of this price of corn.—Ordered to be printed.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL postponed his motion relating to bri. bery and corruption at electtona, to nett Friday.

LORD CHARLES SOMI?'tSET. Lord E. SOMERSET wished to know whether it was the intem. tion of the lion. Gentleman opposite (Mr. B. Beaumont). who had introduced the case respecting the Cape of Good Hope Adminittrea tian, or of the Hon. the Secretary for the Colonies t.Mr. W. Doi. ton), to lay before' the House all the papers relating to t"o transactions in which the conduct of his noble relent'. (Lord C. Somerset) was implicated ? His noble relative had arrived in Pio country since the question had been last agftattd in that House, and felt the greatest anxiety that every facility for the immediate investigation of all charges preferred against hint doting his admi. nistrauon at the Cape of Good Hope might be afforded ; as he was convinced that the more speedy the inquiry, the sooner would the integrity and propriety of his proceedings be established. Mr. WILMOT HORTON, in answer to the question which the Noble Lord had asked, stated that he was desirous that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. B. Beaumont) should bring forward what ever measures he proposed to institute on the subject. as, if that lion. Member declined, he (Mr. W. Horton) intended to propose some course that might settle any difference of opinion on the ques. Lion. Ile had last night received a communication from that Hort. Gentleman, from which he concluded that it was not his intention to suggest any thing further on the matter at present. Mr. B. BEAUMONT did not see any benefit NOliCh could be derived from bringing forward the documents before the Hulse at this late period of the Session, when nothing could be dune in refer ence to them. Should he, however, be in possession of a seat ill that House during the ensuing Parliament, he pledged himself to press forward the matter at the earliest time and omit tunny. SLAVERY.

As the resolutions which he meant to prop,•au could not be brought forward on the night appointed, in cci.v.. goence of the intimation given last night, lie determined to unit until the next Parliament. The Orders of the Day were then proceeded with. On the order that the Report on the Sessional Adr'resses r:- aired, Mr. H. GURNEY rose and said that he could hot allow till Sessional Addresses to pass, without adverting to a paper atrial li r.t been circulated very extensively among the Members, remuneration for the services of the High Constable of Welt minster, whose time was devoted during their sittings to the per formance of services highly useful. but fur which the indrirldu.il who meritoriously held the office of High Constable receive I ho requital. An objection had been made to the introduction of an item of this kind on a former occasion by an lion. 31ember. urn misunderstanding that the office of High Constable had been pur chased and was lucrative. Ile hoped that a clause to the effect o f compensation would be introduced. After a few words from Mr. M. A. TAYLOR. the Report was brought up. The Parochial Clergy Residence Bill was then read a third tier and passed, and the remaining Orders of the Day were disposed ut.. THE GREEKS. Sir %V. INGILBY, after some inaudible observations, presented a petition from Whiteboothy, In Essex, in favour of the Greeks. Mr. W.

Though the violence of their lase was of a most veterate description, nothing could intintid lie them. or prevent the exertion of that brave spirit by which they were so nobly distin. guiehed. It was to be feared, however, that them straggles would not be so successful as they deserved, under the eitcutiistances which they were placed.
