On Saturday 1 ist. the annual meetin:y, or hurts
and sellers of wool, in the ne:ghbouriload of Ho ns-
low, took place in that town. and vra; '.v.•!l at-
tended* the growers, who, from the first ilstim•
tion of this fair, have made a point of avoid.o7, all
appearance of combination, and every avem )t. at.
fixing a price among themselves, fmnd this Fear
the advantage of the good charaEln , wt:h the buyers,
which such honourable conduet nad inspired. The
fair-bell had scarcely ceased to ring, when the sales
begun : last year's prices were in general obtained,
an evident proof of the li%erality of the buyers.
II:fore evening the whole of the wool *as sold, with
the exception of a few 'mail parcels, which were iu
the opinion of the buyers rated too high consider-
ing their quality, and the day was closed with the
utmost hal mnny among all parties.

parties who met at this useful institution, it is ex-
petted that the attendance hmh of wool-staplers and
of growers will increase very lAA hereafter.

be less than 30,0001. but may add thereto one of
the Prizes of 29,0001. 10,0001. 1,0001. 5001 &c &c.
Only 14,000 rickets to draw. It is not likely that
each an advantageous cha.,ce will happen aga'n.
Warranted undrawn '1 icket% and Shares arc on sale
at Flonmsav and Co.'s Offices, 26, Cornhill, 'l,
Charing-cross, and St. Margaret's-hill, Borough.
It is reported that one reason for the Lottery
Commissioners having ordered the Drawing, on
Thursday nest, not to commence tillone in the af-
ternoon, is from an intimation that some personages
of high distinSion wish to be present when so into-
rising a scene takes place as that of SP.OOOI. to the
first-drawn number. But, ezclu'ive of this princely
prize, the day's drawing must prove highly attraftive
and interesting also, from every one of the great
Capitals being still in the Wheel.
Aditniesdation of the Army —The best rssible
Office for guarding against the ill luck of being
drawn in the Militia, is Caatrea's, No. 8, Charing-
cross, where, by adventuring ■ trifle in the present
most inviting Lottery, enough may be gained not
only to pay the penalty, but, if wished, to command
the regiment.
A few days ago, the fallowing melancholy cir-
cumstance occurred in the brewery of Mr. Tests.,
at Dungasvan, Ireland t A man of the.pame of
Moamar went into a porter vat, for the purpose of
cleaning its but nnfortunately he had not observed
the direaions given to take of the cover when the
vessel was emptied, until he was going down into
it, the conseqnitnce was immediate suffocation from
the fixed air that remained in the vessel after the
liquor had been drawn of. Another man went
down to save him, who shared his fate; and a third
followed, who very narrowly escaped, by the ar-
rival of Mr. Mscuaet. Powes, who ordered the
vessel (which was nisi feet deep) to be stove in im-
mediately.
