Sir A. S. HAMMOND, M. P. is recoveriag from
his late indisposition, at his house, Somerset-place.
The Earl of Livestrooi., we are sorry to an-
nounce, is indisposed at his house, Hartford-street,
)hr-fair, his Lordship is attended by Donors
AUWIAN and Btare.
It was a remark of the celebrate) Pore, when he
first became a candidate for literary fame, •• that
none served so much to bring him into public no-
tice. as the railers at hit writings." This is 'den.
tically the case in respell to the superior excellence
of the prams Lottery Scheme. From the momeot
that some envious ►narlers began to open their
masked pop-guns, an incteaseil demand for Tickets
and Shares took place. A di,ceinong Public, in
aiIZ)V, clearly sees through the nialevolent motive ;
from a full convition, that :so preceding Scheme
ever possessed so immense an into-rest as the first-
drawn 3000 Numbers of the one whizh comm.t.,ces
dtaaing is. a few Jays.
