adventuring in the %%'heel of Fortune has created a demand far be-
yond the sale of any recent Lottery ; and there is no doubt that.
but fur the extraordinary pressure of the times, and the intervention
of the Osumi Mortices, which emirs Labaorbed the public oven.
tian for a conaiderabie period, every rldtet ind Share would have
been sold long since. A representation of these facts to his Ma-
jesty's tioreinment induced the Lords Commissioners of the Tree-
hury levant further time for the sale of such Tickets as remain
unsold, which will enable many persona to rives% themselves of
Farewell Chances fur the SIX PRIZES of THIRTY THOU-
SAM) POUNDS. who mutt °Merolla have suffered the Lottery
to close toy ever without the power of partaking of its last favours.
By their Lordships Warrant, in the Gazette of last night, the final
Drawing is to take place on WEDNErMAY, the 18th day of
October seat, instead of, as betoreannounced, the 18th ofJuly.

rr H E BALLOON : or, TAK ING POSSESSION
OF A NEW TERRITORY.

A CORO/CATION INCIDENT.
" Hur never in London has ben in nur life !"
A Cambrian exclaim d, at South Mims who resides ;
When plodding his way, sans obstruction or strife,
His steps to the Park curiosity guides,
From whence he had learnt that a splendid Balloon
Would moot, with a fam'd iEronaut, to the Moon !
The AVelchman marartivred to gain a close stand,
And saw with amazement the vessel expand ;
Increasing in growth, by mysterious pursuits
Of skill'd Amateurs, each array'd in bright Boots ;
Deriving, it seem'd. supernatural aid
From forms in the Jet's glossy lustre displsy'd !
" Cot pleas hue !" the Cambrian exclaim'd in affright,
Sublimely as soar'd the gay Orb to the sky,
Soon lost in Immensity's space to the eye!
When sped from the scene of ascension his flight,
Nor stopt 'till South Mims he regain'd in terroran.
When floating in air the Balloon hover it o'er him !
The /Eronaut near Potter's field now descended.
And quickly by followers from Town was attended,
Award in the Jet of Renown, as before,
Whose Boots each a Spectre ap, arently bore !
" Cot pleas now the Monarch of Wales and the Moon,
And save the Jet sprites, that possession so soon
Enabled the intrepid Trav'llsl to take,
And safely a journey so perilous make!"
Cried Owen ap Morgan :—tbe curious oration
From all rais'il an uproar of mirthful applause t—
" The Jet," they exclaiin'tl, " a fre.sli incident draws
The glee to enhance of this fam'd Coronation ;
Nor richness of humour, nor ornament lacking,
Sustain'd in their zenith by Warren's Jet Blacking."
