• An erroneous statement having appeared in several
of the Public Papers, respeaing the charge against
Mr. Bitommußsr, in the House of Lords yesterdiiy,
we take the earliest moment. to state, that it was
merely for an insult, and not for gross abuse.
There hardly any plan; cried, a. gentleman the
other eye ing, but,what maybe Objeeted to ;t1 some
point. or (idler : excepting, cried :an acquaintance;
the plan of the tottery that comthences 'drawing on
Monday, 'since it posseSses all the points of a good
Scheme having nearly
,1 '20,0001. in Capital Prizes;
'between siX and seven thousand other Prizes, which
redUces the risk of Blanks, at every period of the
'drawing,. to but little more than two and a half to
a Prize.; and what is an additional satisfaCtion, every
day!s drawing will be nearly equal in point Of num-•
bers : Aye, cried a third person in coMpany, and
the Scheme possesses the great and interesting no-
velty,,of the Very first five drawn ;lumbers being en-
titled to MOW. each.

CORN-XXCHANoE, MAY 9.—There is but a small
supply of Wheat here to-day, and scarce any prime
samples, waiting better supplies very few purchases
are made ; Rye more ready sale ; Barley is at less ;
Malt dull sale.; no White Pease ; Oats are here its
tolerable quantities, but few fine samples, and this
trade is heavy in sale, at rather lower, price ; Flour
is lower.
SMITHFIELD' MaRKET, MAY 9.
This day's market afforded but a scanty, supply 'of
differentkinds of Cattle; Beef and Veal are cheaper
than Monday's market; Pork is advanced; Mutton
and Lamb sold at last prices, and the trade was not
. very good. The sales-in the Haymarket were in-
considerable ; Hay, fetched a better price than our
last.report.; Straw does not support last'price ; and
Clover keeps pretty steadv.—The following is au ac-
