HAMBURG' AUGUST 7, 1835.
NOTICE is hereby given, that the Tickets of the
66th HAMBURG GREAT LOTTERY, guaranteed by
the Hamburg State, that begins drawing on the 12th and 13th inst.,
ARE NEARLY ALL CLEARED OFF;
and that Tickets warranted undrawn, selling between the 14th and
2Rth inst. at 101. will not be on sale between the 31st inst. and
2d September (on Ahich latter day the Largest Capital Prize is to
be drawn), below 151.

The undersigned Contractors decline, as usual, to take any
English orders for any thing less than a whole Tiek,t, the Corres-
pondence for single shares being too troublesome, and not worth
the postages.
Persons remitting 101. without delay, will receive an immediate
answer by return of Post ; but those who would not feel pleased to
receive back their remittance (as coming altogether too late, or
after an advance in price), must lose no time in remitting 10/.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST 10, 1835.

The significant question, " What is the use of the
House of Lords ?" having been once publicly mooted,
the people henceforth will not lose sight of it for an
instant. On this their Lordships may rely with as
much confidence, as on the great truths of the Gospel.
The question indeed is, at the present crisis, of the
utmost consequence. We cannot evade—we cannot
shrink from it ; we must approach it steadily hut with
firmness, for it is to determine the fact, whether for the
future, we are to have responsible, or irresponsible
legislators ; whether we are to be governed by a body
of men, who have no sympathies in common with us;
who rarely come among us ; who know little or no-
thing of us, except just what they may happen to read
in our periodical organs ;—whether we are to be go-
verned by a set of men like these, who stand an isolated
body, in a country, where all other ranks and classes are
bound together in strictest affinity by the reciprocal ties of
self-interest ;—or whether we are to be governed by
those who have sprung from ourselves ; Vi ho are the
Legislators of our own choice ; and who are directly
accountable to us for every public measure they bring
forward. Were common-sense to decide this great
question, it would be settled in an instant ; hut, un-
luckily, prejudice, and the magic of, what is called,
prescriptive right, are against us ; and we must there-
fore bide our time, which we shall do the more readily,
because we cannot, one and all, but see that that time
is fast approaching.
Indeed their Lordships are themselves hastening it
on as fast as we could possibly desire. Their vaga-
ries in this respect are doing us the utmost possible
service. They are daily proving to our satisfaction,
that irresponsible power is the bane of all good go-
vernmentthat it is the ivy clinging round the oak of
the Constitution, impairing its vigour, wasting its
sap, and stinting its growth. So long as those
are permitted to exercise uncontrolled authority,
who have no inducement to study their duty as Le-
. gislators ; who have no interest in consulting our
wants and wishes ; to whom ambition holds out no
honourable semptations, inasmuch as the majority are
already as high as they can ever expect to be—so long
as this is the case, Reform will be constantly sub-
jected to the most frivolous and vexatious impedi-
ments. And who arc they that throw down these im-
pediments in our path ? A body of men, whose sole
claim to Legislative wisdom is derived from hereditary
descent ! In other, and far inferior situations in life,
study, practice, acuteness, and integrity are requisite.
To be a physician—a lawyer—a politician—or even a
merchant—a man must bring a sound intellect tg his
task. But there needs nothing of this to make; an here-
ditary Legislator. He may be an 'imbecile, no
matter. He may be a knave, nrs matter. He
may even be without brains enough to enable
him to fill the post of tlurchwarden or parish-
beadle ; no matter; he, is a Lord, and therefore must
be a sage His Ilsttent of nobility is his patent also
of sagacity. lie is a certificated Solon.
And is by men like these that Reform is to be
commamled to halt ? Because Lord Noodle dis-
trusts, and Lord Doodle despises us,• are we to have
no Municipal improvements ? Are we not the People,
for whose sok benefit all Governments are instituted ;
who are
.the thews and sinews, the head, heart and
spirit of that which is called the Empire ? If we are—
and few,, we suspect, will doubt this axiom—then it is
our duty. to speak out at once, And boldly, to the House
of Lords ; to tell them that, at all hazards, we will
have, our rights ; and that if they be disinclined to
grant them, on their heads rest the consequences of
their. obstinacy 1 There are always ways and means
to subdue a refractory oligarchy.
What is our present cause of quarrel with the House
of Lords ? Why, this, that they will not allow us to
judge rightly for ourselves ; that they will persist
otwithstauding a thousand flagrant proofs.to the con-
trary—in the notion that they know, far better than
:.ourselves, how: to legislate for our benefit I We ask
them to govern us in accordance with the spirit of the
s • imes, but they reply, " No, that spirit is a bad one,
therefore. we will olieru you dur the good old
