HAMBURG, Nov. 26, 1834
HEINE 131tOTHEItS, Contractors for the
GREAT LOTTERY, published and drawn by authority
and under guarantee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform the
public, that the 65th Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on
the 18th of March next ; and Tickets are now selling at 108 marks
banco, or 8/. The l rine, are lof 100,000, lof 50,000, lof 30,000,
11 of 20,000, 1 of 10,000, 2 of 5,000, 4 of 3,000, 7 of 2,000, 20 of
1,000, 40 of 500, and 1,500 of 103 marks, which 1,578 money
prizes are altogether stated ;n marks banco, and payable without any
deduction whatever; 4,000 tickets being delivered gratis to the holders
of the 2,000 first-drawn tickets, as per scheme, those purchasing
one ticket, at the trifling cost f 8/., may obtain three prizes, and
tlitts, if fortune proves favourable, gain 180,000 marks baneo, at
the
.present exchange, equal to 13,0001. sterling. Owing to the
gratis -tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one,
so that, of course, they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a
rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the
present first price of 81., are requested to direct, by one of the
*at mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above-named Con-
tractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 10/.
mote will receive an order for the balance of 21., together with
the ticket, by return of raail; on the other hand, those preferring
to pay Heine Brothers draft for the cost, are recommended to pay
such draft immediately when presented. A full scheme, and every
desirable information, being always sent with the tickets, those
giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or
tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, or stating the
mode of payment that may be more convenient to the orderer, and
Ocing their full and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of
the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by pur-
chasing, may depend on the strictest secrecy, as to their taking a
chance or getting a prize ; such being the undeviating rule of the
old-established and most lucky Office.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1835.

We have dipped into an article entitled " Appro-
priation of Church Property," which appears in the
last number of the Edinburgh Review, just published.
This article is an able, and to our minds, a con-
vincing one. It advocates a provision for the Ro-
man Catholic clergy of Ireland ; and points out
at some length, and with considerable force of reason-
ing, the puerile fallacy of Lord STANLEY'S notions
of Church Reform. It suggests also to Ministers
the course most proper to be pursued on this
momentous subject, cautioning them, in particular,
not to be diverted from their path by the
stale Tory clap-traps of precedent. " Respect
for precedent" argues the Reviewer, "is a whole-
some counterpoise to the desire of change, and is one
of the chief cementing powers which give stability
to our institutions ; but it may be carried to a
superstitious and injurious excess. Where precedent
is made a shelter for abuse, or an obstacle to improve-
ment, let us not assume that its value is supreme. Let
us also abstain from hastily assuming that it is a prece-
dent distinctly applicable in the manner asserted
_by those who appeal to it." These are seasonable
and judicious remarks, and it is in this enlarged
spirit, without adhering servilely to the letter of

precedent, that all reforms, to be salutary, must be
carried on.

The appointment of Lord HEYTESBURY to the
high and responsible situation of Governor-General of

ndia, is one of the most objectionable that the Tories

have yet made. As Sir WILLIAM A'CourtT, his
Lordship was notorious for having been in at the death
of ahnost.every liberal institution in Europe. Where-
ever freedom, overpowered by the covert or open as-
saults of the Holy Alliance, was gradually giving way
in a country, there was he present, actively aiding and
abetting in its downfall. His Lordship is a sly,
shrewd diplomatist of the most bigoted school of Tory-
ism. He is too old to change—whatever he may

allege to the contrary—too proud to acknowledge it

his heart the necessity. We take for granted, how-
ever, that he will hang out the colours of Reform al
his mast-head. This is a matter of course. But it wil
deceive none who are acquainted with his Lordship's
past career. Think of a man whom LI VER.-
POOL looked up to as an oracle, and ELDON
swore by as a prodigy ; who was ever ready to lead
the forlorn hope of bigotry among the nations of Eu-
rope ; being appointed to sway the destinies of a
mighty. Empire, at the very moment when—thanks to
the late Ministry—her domestic affairs are undergoing
an active process of Reform ! Could no one be found
better qualified to give the necessary impetus to salu-
tary measures of change, than he who has all his life
been their bitterest enemy ? by, if Ministers had
thrown a net across either the Treasury or Opposition
bench in the House of Commons, at the very first haul
they would have caught a score of men better fitted
to be a Governor-General than Lord HEYTES-
BURY He has actually not one solitary qualification
for the appointment ; nay, more than this ; he has
all the qualifications that should deprive him of it.
But he is a dexterous, unleavened Tory, and herein
lies his Oreat recommendation with a set of Ministers
who—by way of a joke, we suppose I—call themselves
Reformers. We consider Lord HEYTESBURY'S
appointnient to India as far more offensive than Lord
LONDONDERRY'S rumoured one to St. Petersburgh.
The forffier is a positive nuisance. The latter a mere
joke. To be sure, both diplomatists are Tories. But
then the one has brains ; whereas his bitterest enemy
never accused the other of such a requisite.

Since it was firs. bruited abroad that the PREMIER
had delivered himself of another address to the nume-
rous and enlightened constituency of the far-famed
borough of Tamworth, various editions of the said.ad-
dress:have been given to the public. The Right Hon.
Baroliet finding that some parasitically inclined per-

sons.-such as are at all times ready to catch

whatever falls from a PRENllER—attached, or pre.

tended to attach, great importance to this poli-
tical effusion, has, with his usual tact, availed
hiniself of so excellent an opportunity to give
it wider circulation by publishing an authorised report.
We have at some expense of patience perused this
Words, affair, which cannot, in any fair sense, be
called a second address. It is, in truth, little else
than his two former public addresses, hashed
up, virth a spice of egotism thrown in, which
by no means adds to the flavour. We think Sir Ro-
BErtTauust have been hard pushed for something to
say, when he could bring himself to rake up sundry
compliffitntary expressions applied to him, years ago,
by men whose political ~.sntiments were different from
his own; :as a proof that his professions are worthy to
be relied' on.
Our readers will he amused to find Sir ROBERT thus
expressfeg himself :—" I am told T am not a Reformer,
arid that if I become a Reformer I must be an apos-
tate. Now- before I determine whether I am a Re-
fo;irier or'not, I must have a definition of the term."

Sir ROBERT- is not blest with a good memory. 'He
has called himself a Reformer, and therefore it is his
business to furnish the definition. He surely knows
what he is himself, and if he is not a Reformer, he
°light not to have assumed the name, which he could
only do for the purpose of deception. Sir ROBERT
may'endeavour to screen his insincerity by the shallow
artifice of throwing ridicule upon the variety of opinions
held by the Reformers ; but it will not do. He may
rest assured that the people of England will not take
it for &anted that, because he holds some opinions in
common with Lord ALTHORP and Lord JOHN RUS-
SELL, he is therefore to be numbered among Re-
forners of their class.

But although he does not favour us with an express
definition of a Reformer, he tells us that he has a
better title to the name than " nine-tenths of those
who call themselves Reformers ;" in proof of which
modAt desertion, he enumerates in detail his magnifi-
cent contributions to the cause of Reform, namely, his
ardent love of economy, his commercial improvements,
and his alterations in the criminal law.

Now with respect to the first of these claims, it
must not be forgotten that he and his party declared
and asseverated that they had carried retrenchment to
to the very uttermost practical extent—that not a far-
thing more could be spared v:lthout the greatest dan-
ger to the public Kaylce. Well, the late Ministry
carried retrenchment beyond this utmost boundary to
the extent of FIVE MILLIONS ANT) A HALF !

If by his commercial improvements Sir ROBERT
means his,Currency Bill, the merit of that measure is
somewhat equivocal. His new-friend and ally, WIL-
LIAM COBBETT, Esq., whose support of the Tory
Government is hailed as a Godsend by the whole
party, will tell him that a more jestructive scheme
never was hatched in the 'nfain of man ; and Mr.
COBBETT'S opinion on this point is shared by a large
proportion of tine mercantile community.
Of the improvements introduced by Sir ROBERT
PEEL into one branch of the law, we are bound to
speak in, terms of praise, and even of high praise.
But let 'it be remembered that the great merit of
mitigating the severity of the Criminal Code, belongs
to Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY. It was the unwearied
perseverance of that great and good man in the cause
of humanity, assisted by a few active philanthropists,
that opened men's eyes to the real character of those

sanguinary atrocities which were committed under the

sanction, and in the name, of law. So deeply was the
public feeling enlisted in the question, that before the
tardy work of amendment commenced, the law had
become it dead letter, and crime went without punish-
ment. But if Juries would have convicted, and
Judges hanged, we fear the still small voice of hu-
manity would have pleaded in vain against the " wis-
dom of our ancestors." Let Sir ROBERT, then,'
full credit` for the part he took in this good • '
itork, but
I?,t him not attempt to deprive others of
justly •due to them. Let him not
