which he fornied of. opening a tradebe-

those apprehensions of the, Spanish power, yhiCh
were not generally dispelled even at a later.period,
he perceived that the cortimodities of the one
dom corresponded so, welt with -the wants 'of trie,
other, as 'to render a commercial intercourse incalcu-
lably advantageous to.both, While he declared it
to be his opinion, that the reciprocal interests of
Spain and the British empire corresponded better to-
gether than those of any two nations in Europe, Ito
urged the king. to cultivate a good understanding.'
with that Power ; he endeavoured to prornote•the
samobjed by his own private friendship ; and tie
had even the industry to draW up, ,from information
cornmun;cated by his' commercial agents. a state-
ment of the nature and quantity-of all the commo-
dities which each port in Spain could either receive
from Ireland, or give in return. He observed.that •
the great annual fleets to the colonies, which were
often detained in the Spanish harbours from want of
provisions, could be supplied far more conveniently
and cheaply from' Ireland than from any other -
country of Europe; and in this trade he foresaw an.
inexhaustible source of national riches.

" But the scheme from Which the most perm.:
nent benefits have flowed.to Ireland, was the esta-
blishment of the linenmanufaelnre. When he first
undertook the *government of that country, Went-
worth learnt from his inquiries into the state of the
Island that no article for exportation was manufac,.
tured there, unless a small quantity of coarse wool-
len yarn. Unwilling, by encouraging this branch,
to interfere with the staple of England, he tbrm-
ed the proje4 of introducing the general cul-
tivation of flax, and turning the attention of
the natives to the manufadure of linen. At
his own. expence he imported and sowed a titiantity of superior-flak-seed ; and; the crop suc-
ceeding to his expeaations, he, next year, expended
a thousand pounds for the 'same purpose, ereaed
several IK►gtns, procured workmen from France\,and
Flanders, and at length was enabled to ship :for.
Spain, at his own risque, the, first investment of
linen ever exported from Ireland. Exulting in the
success of this favourite scheme, he foretold .that it
would prove the greatest means of enrichment whiCh
Ireland had ever enjoyed; and his sagacity is amply
attested by the industry and wealth which the linen
tnanufaEture continues to diffuse over that portion
of the Empire."

For .many Lotteries past it hi been the custom
.of the contraelors to fix particular Days far DraW-
ing the Grand Prizes, fearing they might be drawn
too soon :—this induced the cautious to prtstpone
purchasing a Ticket or a Share until
,the previous
Day on which such Prize was to be drawn. In the
present Lottery, • it is resolved, that there shall be
no 'Day fixed upon to determine any large Piize,
--.leaving; it (as it should be) all to Chance.
