GOTHA FEB. 17.-A Mr. Arnold', at Gotha, has p•iblish-
ed a singular plan fora lottery, the pviz's which should be
German manufactured goods, and which, he thinks, would
afford great relief to the German manufacturers. The gre:tt
prizes should be deiibinpe.biea-With-tife condition that they must
I.:e sent beyond sea; for which purpose an agreement might be
made with the Rhenish West India Company and the Elbe'
CoMpany, care being taken that the goods should le such as
were likely to meet with . a ready sale. Such a plan, he says,
would counteract the injtny done to Germany by the -English
lattetieS of manufactured goods, which, he says, are conducted
on • the same principles, and greatly promote the advantage of
the manufacturers 'of England: •

BOW -STREET-=Tuts DAY—CAUTION TO CARMEN,

A countryman, nanwd Dobbin, was summoned
by --,lleasley, ES(f._ charged with having neg-
lected his team. The circumstances of this.cae
were rather hard on the carman, Who had
taken off his horses to assist another in dis-
tress, for which purpose he left his own cart
and'oite Itorse without any persOn to attend to it.
The.horse went on until it arrived at a part of
.11”rnpsuatl Hill, beyond which it could not go,
and turin round on the footpath. The defend-
ant in part convicted himself by his Obstinacy,
anti he was fined in the lowest penalty, hut being
finable to pay it, he was locked up. until he
did so.

Mr. JASIi:S Toosith, of Rynefiehl, one of the groom keep_
ers of the New Forest, shot an eagle of the golden specks on
Tuesday last. The4vings, froM one extremity to the other,
measured six feet eleven inches. It is now -in the possession of
Mr. Weare, of East-street, who is employed to stuff it. It is
somewhat singular, that a man in the employ of Mr. Toomer,
shot a bird of tile same species some time since.—( Soutizamp-

The Author of this Appeal is eatiefied, that the subsequent
depelopement of facts has convinced every unprejudiced ob-
server that. the opinion so unequivocally censured was correctly
int
founded • yet he is aware, that in such cases toe antidote
is
rarely found to be so active or so extensive as the poison ; it
is, however, his intention, not to give general publicity to this ap-
peal,* but to rest satisfied with presenting it to his friends, and
to those distinguished individuals, whose favourable
,opinion
he cannot but feel anxious to cultivate, if perchance his name
should have become known to them only from its connection with
a circumstance, in its nature likely to be represented to his preju-
dice. lie must beg leave to repeat his apology to his friends
for the liberty taken in presenting these pages for their con_
consideration, and more particularly to those to whom he has
not the honour to be known ; trusting that the attention which
he cannot presume to hope for upon his own account, will• not
be vrithheld from his sirkject—a structure which still atteets the
zeal, the munificence, the united genius, oran Ethelwold, a
Walkelyn, ;L: Wykeham, and a Fox. The correspondence
which follows will, it is presumed, require but little explana-
tion from the Author ; though it may be proper for him to
state, that he has the honour to fill the office of Surveyor of the
Cathedral of Winchester, to which he was first appointed by
the. Dean and Chapter in the year 1809 ; and in consequence of
the impute!' before mentioned, he conceives it due to that
Reverend Ise*dy, as well as to his own reputation, to chew by
the recital of fhcts, as he had before endeavoured to do by argu-
ment, that the means he used for the preservation of the Ca-
thedral -from approaching ruin, were not so unnecessary, nor
extravagant, as he was :informed they were " more than insi-
nuated to be" t by the Surveyor Extraordinary consulted upon
the state of the fabric.
In the year,lB2l, in consequence of the Author's representa-
tion to the Dean and Chapter,of very serious defer pin two prin-
cipal piers in the nave of their Cathedral,he was directed to take
the. necessary steps for an effectual repair of those parts of the
fabric ; and, pursuant to that direction, he made a plan and
specification for constructing a timber frame, calculated to sup-
port the weight, and preserve the position, of such parts of the
fabric as depended upon the two piers, which, by minute in-
spection and repeated admeasurement, were found to be in-
adequate to their important office. The execution of this plan
was offered to competition, and a contract was, with the con-
currence ofehe Treasurer, -made.with a respectable Builder for
the use of the necessary timber and the labour of its construc-
tion anti removal; but during the progress of that preparation,
it was suggested to the. Surveyor that it might be prudent in a

competent to the undertaking ; but that he should
consider it his duty to confer with any o
gineer, that the Dean and Chapter might think 'proper to con-
suit upon theoccasion, if they concived such a step tO benecessary. '
Neat the same time represented to them theconviction of his Mind
that whatever might be the mode of repair ultimately determined
upon, she most ample provision was indispensable for the Seca.
ray of the adjacent parts of the previous to the restoration of
the parts so evidently approaching the last state of instability ;
observing further; that the want of due precaution in this re-
spect might produce-consequences most disastrous, and occae
stun expencea incalculable. This reasoning -was .acceded to
with a degree of confidence and liberality which demands the
Author's most grateful acknowledgment, and Which he con-
ceives.would have been improperly met, if he had not ultimate-
ly accepted the offer, which, he is persuaded, was intended
rathar to assist than to condeennliis operations. The Surveyor,
however, in the first instance, neeneed it most proper to proceed
with his projected preparation, and having completed it, he
made a report to the Dean and Chapter to that effect, and
stated his readiness to proceed upon the restoration .of the de-
fective piers ; hut at the same time, when he reflected, upon the
suggestion made to him respecting a conference with another
Architect, and the increased responsibility he must incur, if .he
declined the proffisred assistance, he was induced to frame his
report conformably to that suggestion.
An Architect of eminence was accordingly selected, with the
concurrence of the Dean and Chapter's Surveyor ; but it was
soon discovered that this gentleman commenced his proceedings
with a pre-disposition to dictate rather than to consult, which
was evinced by a sort of mandate (communicated through an
official channel) to the Dean and Chapter's Surveyor, to meet
him in the Cathedral, on a day peremptorily fixed on by him-
self only.
In compliance with that intimation, the Chapter's Surveyor
met the Surveyor Extraordinary in the Cathedral on the day
appointed, and during the short interview with -which he was
favoured, explained his ideas of the cause of the defects, and the
principles of his proposed plan for the. restoration of the failing
pillarinvvhich the Surveyor Extraordinary did not appear in-
clined entirely to approve of: lie was however understood to
admit, that the preparations which had been made were neces-
sary , and that they had been judiciously arranged.
On the. following day, the Chapter Surveyor, after reflecting
upon what passed at the transient interview (or consultation if
it may be so termed) with the Surveyor Extraordinary, thought
it right to communicate to the latter the result of his delibera-
ticns as follows:
