POLICY OF LOTTERIES.

Mr. Ttinstpsosi move'l for an account of all the Commi•sion-
crs ofthe Lottery in town and country, together with th, it
for the two last years.

The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER laving made AO:OE cb-
Aervations,

Mr. Tnomcsoa added, that he knew there were many Com-
missioners ail over the conotry, that they were in town only •
ft w days during the drawing of the lottery, that they formed a
hoard amongst themselves, relievi one another by turns ; his
object was to ascertain what were the salaries of such intli-
vidnals.
Mr. I..irrt.irrort took this opportunity of expressing his objec-
tion to the mode of raising money by tottery, he agreeing in
opinion 'with a late valuable Member of that House (Mr. Wh;t-
hread,) that wli.ite‘er might be the excuse for pressing such •
system of taxation during war, it was unjustifiable in time of
peaec--(11for!)
Mr. BEN NIT deprecated lotteries, and trusted, now peace
had returned, that henceforth they would be discontinued.—
(
_ . _

Mr. M. A. TAYLOR observed, that this important subject had
often trelipied the attention of the House, and that he was 'ha
first irides ichial who had of late years directed the House to the.
consideration of its impolicy and injurious tendeney. About
23 years aeo he succeeded in gaining a Committee, whose re-
port contained mach important information, but the war break-
ing out, and money of coarse being wanted, the wishes of many
upon this ~object could not by accomplished. Now, however,
peace had once more happily returned, and those who might lie
disposed to thin their attention to this subject—to tile fright-
fully iujurious consequences that resulted from lotteries, wonhl
obtain much information by consulting the Journals of that
House.—Motion agreed to.

Mr. TIVRNI.:y then asked what the redactions would be;
whether the retrenchment was to be Jpplied to any particular
branch, or to the esliaißlea gentrall)
The Cit A Net.l.ton of the Excto pate ER said, the propowil re-
ilactiou comprehended all the branches of the Civil List, as
far i 1.4 their nature made them capable of reduction.
Mr. Tren NIA apprehended that Nature hail very little to do
with the charges of the Civil List, although the House would

PAVEMENT BEFORE THE TREASURY.
Mr. M. T t VLOR said, is the course of the iuvestilatioim,
which took *se in the Committee respecting the pasimisent of
tire metropolis, he bail additional reason to complain of the
badness of the paving before tare Treasury. It wa ; remark-
able fact thatabout 200 yards of the pas 1117, before the Trea-
sury was always worse than the worst paving in any other part
of London ; and be was at a loss to' know how the Treater!'

be very happy to learn how he could get the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and the
.Lords of the Treasury into his power.—

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that there
were many dimbta respecting who ought to keep such paving
in repair, and many advisers hart been consulted upon the
subject, which possibly had not Waded to lessen the difficulties,

would be deluged with dangerous characters. Dange-
rous to whom Not to us, for amongst us they would
no longer find a single hand to clasp in friendship, a
single sentiment to share in unison, and they are not
backed by any Earthly power to support and give effect to
any possible machination on their part.—" But to admit
them," it is urged, " would be to display a total insensibi-
lity to the real state of Europe." Why, then, do Austria,
Russia, and Prussia, not only admit, but invite them ? :
Do not those nations form the greatest part of Europe, and
must we be more careful of their interests than they arc
themselves ? We close our gates to men of doubtful
opinions, lest they should endanger the pence of Europe ;
uni the three great European Powers offer a shelter
within their dominions, not to men of this description
alone, but to the most notorious characters of the Revo-
lution ! What contradiction is this? And why should we
volunteer, to the infringement of ancient customs and of
national credit, to remove imaginary perils from those
who most assiduously court them ? On no consideration
of English or European interests can, therefore, the plea
of necessity be justified. It may be agreeable to the Go-
vernment of France that we should adopt the measure ;
but we rather suspect that it is below the dignity of the
British nation to legislate for such a purpose, and to de-
part from the policy, the wisdom, and the hospitality of
its ancestors, to become, as it was truly expressed in the
House of Commons, " assistant police-officers to the
House of Bourbon."

RGRICUL7'IMAL REPORT.

The perpetual vicirainitics of the gym, joined with
the distress under which the fanners labour, have greatly
retarded—indeed nearly paralysed—the operatims of
agriculture. The state of the weather, both in the last
and present month, lots occasioned bean planting to be
very backward, which must have a similar eact on every
other branch of the seed business of Spring. Turnips
have failed in some districts, and almost every where in
point of quality. Sheep have suffixed greatly fimn the
severity and changeableness of the whether, and cattle.
keeping has been generally a business attended trith
difficulty; it has nevertheless been, daring the present
season, the only profitable branch to the corn farmer, and
probably the saving of many from ruin, who have had
the means and resolution to purate it with spirit.

SAVING RANKS.

Mr. Rose obtained leave to bring in a Bill te encourage Sa-
ving Banks. The Right Hon. Gent. observed, that, from the
want of a means of depositing their overplus cash, many were
often induced to waste their property in drunkenness and die-
sipetion ; so that, in the hour of distress and necessity, they
lisle no other resource to Hy to for relief except tilt poor-home.
To the Gentlemen of Edinburgh and Bath much praise was
due fur having set 011 lOW this subject kSaving Banks). If the
House would ror a moment look at the importance of this mea-
sure, it would be seen, that in the course of a few years, a la-
bouring man laying by Is. per week, would have a small ca-
pital to make himself comfortable. He stated, that in his own
county, a labourer, having only lbs. per week, had accumulated.
at the age of 33, not less a sum titan 1001.! He hoped Gentle-
men in their neighbourhoods, and those at the head of manu-
factories, would exert themselves to encourage a disposition
fur Living in those under them. It would Mime into the minds
of the common people, a spirit of independence, and make
them better men and better subjects. The money, he ob-
served, raised by Nor,' Rates within the last year was his
millions sterling ; and yet the poor were not one lit better off
than they were in the year 17;8, at which time the sum was
only 1,800,0001. The Rigbt lion. Gent. then moved furs Bill
to protect the Saving Banks,
Tuom rut m esl ressed his obligations to the Eight Hon.
Gent. for his exertions in favour of the poor, am! he :banked
him for bringing in the Lid to !civilize Benefit Societies. He

Meeting at Glang,om.—ltt causilpsc3ce of a refusal o
the Provost of Glasgow to convene a meeting of the
inhabitants, to consider the propriety of petitioning the
Prince Regent and the Rudiment on the present state
of the country, and on the necessity of an iannediat re-
form in the National Representation, the Freemen of
Glasgow assembled cat Tuesday.' last, in a field at Thrush
Grove, and the Meeting, amounting by estimate to
thrty thousand, is said tolutve been the largest that ever
occurred in Scotland for any political purpose. James
Turner, bleq. proprietor of the field in which the Meet-
ting was held, took the Chair, and after several persons
had spoken, in the most aaitnatcd terms on the distres
of the country, and the necessity of retrenchment and
reform, a series of Resolutions, couched in stting lan-
guage, were passed, amidst the unanimous applause of
the multitude, who dispersed without causing the
slightest disturbance or injury. •
Meeting at Bolinin.—A Meeting of the Freeholders
and I nhahiunns of the county of Cornwall was held on
the '2f)th ult. at Bodmin, where u series of Resolutions,
and a petitinn to the l'rnce Regent and the House of
Commons, thantled thereon, were unanimously agreed to,
paying then iiumediately to reduce oureivii anti mili-
tary establiimi.mts, to abolish ell rinecure pla!es and
unmerited pensions, and to reform the represented ms of
the r..:ople. It was well observed in the ReyOutionse
that w.:re the txanity in th- most prosperous state,- the
refiirm of abuses in every department would be a boun.
den duty; but that duty hecomesimperative at a moment
when the people are every where suffering the greatest
privations, and the. seriously appalling coincidence of
ale sea: ohs has come in aid 4.:f political rousts, to enthroe
rodeos by the overwhelm pruoure of public caltuuilf.

Our Readers will recollect that these mills (the property of
Messrs.Tinkler and Mountford) were indicted at the last
Surrey Ass.zes as a Nnisapee ; where, after the examination
of a number of witnesses, Mr. Justice Burroughs was ofopi.
tam', that it would he highly impradent to press the matter
to a decision; for if a verdict was given against the defen-
dants, as he wil • strongly of opinion they world, the whole of
their establishment most inevitably be rated to the ground.
A consultation then took place between the Counsel for the
plaintiflit and the defentlauts.; when it was agreed that a ver-
dict of Guilty should he recorded against Messrs. Tink ler sod
Motintfurd, upon tbe first count of the indietmeat, strisjert to
Seferenee. Mr. Justice Burroughs ordered the Jury to find
accordingly, and die defendants entered into an eogagemMit
to pay a sum of 4100. for costs, and to eau& r into reeogei.

meats in their mills, muter the direction of Major Bye. of the
Royal Engineer-Department, as should completely remove alt
cause of complaint or danger. Major Bye, iu consequence,
proceeded upon his award, mid directed such alterations to
be made io the premises of the defendants, as he eonsidered
woald protect the Plaintiffs (Mews. Howland and Co.) and
the Public from material injury. He also restricted the de.
Pendants in the eptantity of powder that should lie retained
on their premises. tWe believe 40 barrels, each containing
1 cwt. of powder.) ;his award, we understand, was coml.
tiered by Mr. Rowland and his neichhours by no means side.

by the Parish of Cltilworth at the last Surrey. Sessions, and e
Bill found against them. Since which coissiderable alarm has
existed in the minds of the inhabitants, in consequence of the
danger which they considered thentseivea imposed to from Use
feeble protection atforded them; litut more particularly front
a suspicion that larger quantities of powder were kept on the
premises than Major Bye's award had sanetihned. They in
consequence obtained a warrant from it neighouring agis.
trate, and proceeded to search the premises ; when they found
in the dusting-house alone, upwards of 57 barrels! ! and in
several other parts of the Milk considerable qoantitlear, which
has been seized and taken away. Much praise k due to the
Parish-officers for the exertions they have made in this bust.

among other unredeemed pledges, from a respectable pa wn-

how it came into his possession.
STEALING Olt tees Is A OPIEEN-noose,-.James Robinson,
of 'lhaines Hilton, uteri:et-gardener, was brought before the
Magistrate on a warrant against him, arising lilt of the fol-
lowing circumstances:—Two men. named Ods and Thrush
had been stopt by a watchman at the World's-end, in the
King's-road, •w itli a bucket of grapes on their shoulders, which
had been sworn to by two witnesses to have been stolen from
the green-house of John Kepner, Esq. Barwell-court. On
being as►ed how they came by the grapes, they said they
were employed by the prisoner Rubinson to bring them to
Holhount, a fruiterer there, for which they were to have 6s.
each. In consequence a warrant was issued against the pri-
soner Robinson.

Being asked If he had employed the other two prisoners to
bring grapes to town on Tuesday last, he said lie hail often
employed them to bring grapes t a town, bat he did not do so
on Tuesday. He denied that the basket isnlongeti to him, as
all his baskets had his name on them. .
Hroseentor. ,)zanies Stevens, owner or 0* grapes, deposad,

Scuenk: OF CoNTRAUAND GOODS.—In ceonseqneuce of in-
formation which lie had received, May, the officer of Union-
hall, went on Saturday se'unigist to the Willi of a respectable
inhabitant of Richardion-eareet, Bermondsey, where, en
searching, he found a bag containing 2119 yards of rich French
lace, a quantity of Freewill lace handkerchiefs, 40 pair of
globes, and various other articles of French manutiectnre.
On questioning the master of the house as to the manner in
which the bag and its contents tame into his possession, he
said it was left during his absence by two Frenchmen, who
said they would soon cone back for if. May, upon this 'Attar-
!nation continued at the house, and soon after one of the
Frenchmenl came and claimed the bag as his property. May,
liorrever, informed him, tike broad arrow had been amxed to
it,.and the only eh :taco he now had to recover it wai by au
application to the canamessioners of the Cusfoms.

H.kTTON-GARDEN.

Tuesday, R. Mackay, one of the conspirators, underwent a final ex-
amination, charged with receiving a gold seal, stolen by Hubbard
in a skittle-ground, as has been detailed. lie was fully committed
for trial.—He then requested not to be sent either to Newgate or
lierkenwell Prison, as he should be murdered. The Magistrate, there-
fore, committed him to the House of Correction.

In consequence of information received by Read, jun. and Limbrick,
of Ilatton-ganlen office, that J. Ft:alley, alias Jackey Dandy, was the
contriver of a burglary committed in the house of Mr. Poole, of Eve-
rett-street. Brunswick-square, and in which Vaughan waS• the appre-
hender of 'l. Batts, It. Rowley, and .1. Farthing, who were convicted
of the same on the I ttli of January Ist, they apprehended him, and
he underwent an examination before Mr. Rain.sfonl, who ordered him
for further examination. It appears, that Vaughan and l)anley were
in close consultation on the night before the robbery; and it is said, by
one of the unhappy men under sentence of death, that Danlev was the
person who took sonic of the property stolen; hut lie was alowel to
escape. Every day brings new infnnuation relative to these abomina-
ble conspiracies.
Young Edwards, the Petrole. has been ai aerated; it being the de.
temiinauon of the Magistrates to follow up the investigation respecting
any who have but a slight suspicion against them of their conduct
being improper, till the suspicion attached to them is wholly cleared
up. The suspaton against Young Edwards is, that he was with
Vaughan when lie took the men at the manufactured burglary at Mrs.
M`Donald's house at lloxton.
ARI.ItOROITG 11-STREET.
A Gentleman of tortunc, in Argyle-street, complained of R. Keen
for a daring robbery and outrage in his house on Saturday sennight.—
The Gentleman went to the Opera that night, leaving his two children,
two female servants, and Keen, whom he had recently taken into his
service. The two females went out, after putting the children to bed ;
and Keen went up to the two children in bed, and with horrid impreca-
tions demanded where their father kept his money. He first awoke a
little boy, who was unable to answtr his question; and he next awoke
the siqtr, a child of tend'r years, and, with a hammer in his hand, en-
3cavoured to intimidate her by untirg that he had killed her brother.—
The children could give him no information, and the nil., nder proceeded
fn ransack the house, and obtained a gold watch and two other., toge-
ther with Rank-notes of town and country to a large amount, with which
he p.t o'f, 3,01 h•:, not yet been secured. The prisoner is a youth un-

We observe from the Bakers' assize, that they still see
nn rause to lower the price of bread in proportion to the
price of grain. If our Agriculturists are ruined with
the quartern loaf ut Is, I d. what must the lower orders
be, when it reaches a price capable of rewarding their
(the Agriculturists) labour ? Or is it to be endured, that
a combination of tradesmen should thus deprive the grower
of his fair remuneration, and impose on the public with
the high rate of a monoply ? London alone is thus taxed
about 30001. per day —a sum which would relieve all its
paupers.

nue their trade of rapine and slanghte, or to defy from
their citadels both our threats and our attacks.

Yet this will still ba the case, if things are not differ-
ently managed from what thity have hitherto been. They
must be expelled from the sea-coast, bar our Expedition
will be of no permanent benefit. To say they must be
exterminated, would be too much like a proposal of their
own; but their removal from the spot on which they are
now seated, is necessary to the safety of commerce, and
to repel from ourselves tho charge of aniuiescing in their
piracies. And while we are mentioning this, we are
aware that we were formerly not charged with being
merely accessaries, but principals. Jolsannes Boterus, in
his tract " De Regno Anglin," published in the reign of
Elizabeth, speaking of the revenue of the English Mo-
narchs, says,—" But in our times their Kings have found
another mode of 'filling their coffers; namely, by the fifth
part which is paid to the Crown by those who have a li-
cence of committing piracy on the sea-coasts of Spain,
and the new world. They act, says he, like the Viceroy
of Algiers, who receives Pirates 'on condition of having
part of their booty." Anti Philippus Honorius, in his
account of England, written about the same time, says,
" Here is the Isle of Wight, the country tethet Francis
Drake (I)niconis), the famous Pirate, the son of a fish-
erman, who infested, by his many piracies, not only the
shores of Spain, but the whole Empire of the Catholic
King. He took upon himself the name of Drake ( Draco),
which is a kind of serpent. Whence the people of' Dun-
kirk built a large ship, which they called the Dog (Dog-
gett), intimating, that by this Dog, they would hunt
and perhaps seize the Drake (Draconem)." Our ma-
dors will be scarcely more diverted at the writer's ridi-
culous mistake, than at his insolence in representing the
illustrious hero, Sir Francis Drake, merely as a notorious
Pirate.
