A LUCKY Fatowr.—On the 14th of last Month,
as Mr. Smithson, (J 1 the EdgeA are Road, was pass-
ing by Charing-cross, he was Maimed by the popu-
lace crying out "'A Iliad Bull," and on turning his
head he perceived an infuriated animal clo,e to bun,
and the only way to avoid him was ,to turn into
some house. The first that ()tiered was a Lottery
Office, and alter recovering hituself he thought, as
he never had purchased a Ticket before, it might be
a curious method Dame Fortune had taken to toss
hint into her Lap ; he accordingly purchased Two
Tickets of one Number, and was rewarded will
20001., as it proved a 10001. Prize.—On receiving
his Money he bought two more Tickets in the
Lottery to be drawn on TURSDAY, the 18th, and
said, " Who knows but I may be highten.yd into
40,0001."

Bring out more Barouches and Four, was often
the ostentatious order of a late Nobleman whose
fortune is supposed to have been gained in India,
when the fat is, that be made 40,0001. by pur—
chasing Tickets and Shares at CARTER'S Lucky Of—
fice, No. 8, Charing-Cross, where we advise the
whole Whip Club to draw up before Tuesday, the
►Bth inst.
