It is universally allowed, that the best criterion of
superior excellence in all matters of emulation, is
from comparison. On this irrefiagible principle a
concise observation is sufficient to demonstrate the
pre- -3minence of the depending Lottery Scheme
over its intmediate predecessor, namely, .that for the
very same stake, whether in the purchase' of a
whole Ticket, or any Share' of it, the- highest Capi-.
tals in the present Scheme will produce+ nearly dou-
ble the arhount of what' could be gained by the
greatest Prize in the last Scheme.

INTERESTING NARRATIVE OF THE LOSS OF THE

• ATIIENIEtgNE.
His Majesty's -Ship Atheitienne, commanded by
CUL ROBERT RAYNSFORD, having .on board 479
men, sailed from Gibraltar on the 16th of Oelober,
with a fair wind, and arrived off Sardinia' on the
20th, at five o'clock 'in the evening ; from whence'
she proceeded towards Malta ; but nnfortunately at
about half past nine o'clock in the evening of that
day, when going nine
.Icnots, struck on the reeks'
called the Esquerques, It immediately beta me ne--
Cessary to lighten the Ship' to preveht 'her from
falling on her broadside, and the, masts were cut
away for that purpose ; but, in less than. half,an
hour after, from the violent concussion of the rocks
on her boCtorn, she filled up to the lowerdeck ports,
and fell on her. beam-ends on the larboard-side.—
Capt. RAYNSFORD, who, from the first, foresaw the
total loss'of the Ship; ordered the boats to be hoisted
out, with an idea that they would be useful in tow-
ing a. raft that-was construEting to leeward, which
'probably might have been the means .of preserving
a great many from destruCtion ; ' but so soon' as the
two jolly 'boati'Vvere loWered'AoWn front' the :gtiar-

no Officers with therrbore up; and were no more
seen by the unhappy persons who staid by the wreck.

swamped ; and: thirty men, unable to regaia the
Ship, perished.• By the tall of, the masts .several
men were killed-and desperately mangled ; and two
'Midshipmen were killed by the. Spatiker-boom

guided, became unbuckled., and the situation of the
Ladies became desperate. The animal started off,at

.the vehicle Was at length violently overturned, by
t which Miss Elkins, . beiides having received'bruises
which alone were sufficient' to deprive her of life,
had her .arm brilken, and her head, fractured. This
young Lady, Who resides with her parents 'in the
Kent Road; was conveyed home on a bed without
even a slight hope of recovery. The other • Lady
clung close to the upper side of the vehicle, when it
overturned, and • pros identially
.escaped without any

serious injury.
