BURG GREAT LOTTERY in the English papers, and to
have Tickets on Sale at Agents in England, beg to state that neither
can be done, because it is said to be illegal for English newspapers
to publish Foreign Lottery Schemes, and for any agents in England
to sell Foreign Lottery Tickets. But, on the other hand, they beg
to state, that as it is not illegal for any person in England to pur-
chase Foreign Lottery Tickets ; those addressing them by Mail for
a Scheme, may obtain it gratis ; and any person remitting to them
a Bank of England Note equal to the current price of the day (as

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1835.

It appears by the accounts received from Devon-
shire, that the election is likely to go against Lord
JOHN RUSSELL. At the close of the poll yesterday,
the Noble Lord was 634 behind his opponent, a ma-
jority which, it is scarcely to be supposed, can be an-
nihilated by the utmost exertions of his friends to-day.
The Reformers must, therefore, make up their minds '
to the defeat of their champion, and console them-
selves with the reflection that although victory would
have been glorious, there is no dishonour in such a de-
feat. The real disgrace attaches to those who have pur-
chased a temporary success at the expense of every
principle held sacred among men. Had the electors
of Devon been at liberty to express their political sen-
timents by their votes, Lord JOHN RUSSELL would
have been the man of their choice. Of that there can be
no doubt, even in the minds of his bitterest enemies.
They know well—however reluctant they may be to
acknowledge it—that nine-tenths of the electors are
favourable to that system of policy of which he is the j
I representative, and that had they been kft to them-
selves—had they possessed the power of free agency—
they would not have been slow to record their appro-
bation of it. But these unfortunate men were placed
in a situation in which they had to choose between in-
dependence and ruin—ruin to themselves and their fa-
milies—and, in such circumstances, we may regret,
but can we blame, their determination ? No I The
blame rests not on them, but on the law which has
invested them with a right, and withheld the means of
exercising that right—unless at a sacrifice which the
law ought not to require. The law which places a
man's duty in opposition to his interest is morally as
well as politically bad. Such is the enactment in the
Reform Act which confers the elective franchise on
those who are so dependent on others that they dare
not, or, in other words, they cannot exercise it but
according to the command of a master. The enact-
ment to which we allude, the " tenant-at-will clause,"
as it is called, the " voter-at-will clause," as it ought
to be called, was not in the original Bill, but was in-
troduced by the enemies of Reform, and sorry we are
to say, was too easily acquiesced in by Lord GREY'S
Administration. Its fatal operation has con-
vinced them of the danger, as well as the
folly, of attempting to conciliate enemies, by
making concessions. The Tories acted on that
occasion with great foresight. They had the address
to get a provision inserted into the Reform Act, which
they knew would greatly obstruct its efficiency in the
outset, and might in time completely neutralize it. They
had only to refuse to renew the leases of their tenants
as they fell in, and in every such tenant they found a
political slave. This was their view, and upon this
view they have steadily acted. They will persevere
until they have reduced all the counties of Eng-
land to the same state of degradation in which it
is but too evident they have succeeded in plunging
