DISH'S FAREWELL!! I-TO THE PUBLIC.

rsz addressing you, " my best Friends," far the
time, as Contractor, I do feel various sensations not to
be described i inexpressible gratitude for jeers of unbounded
preference sand favours bestowed for a long serious of years, not
merely on myself, but on my late Father. We have,
as. Dispensers of the favours of the Blind Goddess, been most
eminently successful in distributing an unprecedented List of
Capitals, amounting in the aggregate to many Millions ; and,
as Lotteries increased in number, my &Me for the distribution of
its wealth increased also it Is, theiefore, with the sincerest
regret I announce that the Legislature has come to shat I con-
alder a very Unwise decision, viz. to abolish. I.4itteries. And
for what reason ?. only to phase a feii persona, who have not
'examined their merits, but have confountled illegartransactions
with the legitimate. I may be emoddeferl to take a partial
view of the case ; but where a system has gone on without
intermission ever mince the reign of Queen Anne, and brougt, t
annually, nearly Italia Million into the Treasury. I cannot but
agree 'Nenli an eminent VOW, who says " Surely the present
is not the best period for experiments;,'. and it would, in my
humble opinion, have been more wise to. have done away with
several obnoxious and paltry Takes (vexatious ill their collec-
tion) than to annihilate the Lottery, whielt,,letit be well borne
in mind, is.a volttntarx Tax ; and, by its continuance, not only
might theae obnoxious Texts be removed, 'Alt hundreds of per.
sons kept lir employment who must tio'w he discharged ; and is
this a time to add to the number of thorme who want support ?
It is, however, useless to repine-41m Government have decided
that it shall be so—and all' Wet can be now done is to make the
most of the short time /Minted before the ,ystem is abolished.
As ono of the •Last Contractors, I have ittratiged, with my
'colleagues. such a Scheme as must, I think, gate universal
satisfaction it contains the very unprecedented number of SIX

Mr. ESTCOURT ciPposed the clause, on' the ground that there
was a clause to the same effect. . . .

Sir T. BARING and Mr. Alderman *WOOD stippOrted the
clause, and stied a'case of severe hardship thider the present Bill.

was calitilated to remedy was so hard, 'that he was surprised at
the opposition it met with. The generality of thee 4ictuallere

ROYAL COLLEGE .01 SURGEONS.
gr. STUART WORTLEY piesented a petition froM the titi-
dereigned Mentbere of the College of Surgeons, complaining of the it
exclusion from the efijoyment of certain privileges which had liecii
granted then by a provision of Government. In the year I'M,
Governinent had purchased from the executors of the late'Mr.
John' Hunter his valuable Museum, consisting of the finest speci-
mens of human and comparative anatomy' and had also granted
the auto of 3,oooh:tit erect a building for itS reception in Lincoln's
•Inn-fields. This purchase had been made for the porpove of en-
couraging the study of medicine, but tfie' ;ends' of 'Government
had been defeated by thetnanner in which the present Company
(instituted underchitdeFof hieliannatt) confined the.days of ad
nissioietnthe Museum to,a vary limited number. It was agninst
this nuisance chore particUlarly than , any other that the present
petition hid been drawn up.
Mr. HUME aupptirted the petition ; the complaints, he fetid,
'word fond and numerous, and he trusted.that the Mime would,
in the course of next Session, appoint a COMMilaiOst of Inquiry.
Into the affairs of the College, when he was • caluvinceil; front, all
he had heard on the subject, that there would be found more
causes of complaint than the one whieh fancied the subject of the
petition.
. I
Mr. W. SMITHdid not Wish to oppoie' the bringing up-of the
Petition, but merely wished to inform the House'that the 'Mu.-
scum was kept in the best possible order; and that the Gentle Men
hall the care of the Museum and the College did not wivh to
conceal front the public the manner in which the money of the
establishment Was dispoied of.'

After a few observations from ;Mr. S. Wow,rtarii end :Or. P.
Moons:, the Petition was laid on the table and .ordered to lie
printed.

CORN LAWS.

• The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a Com-
mittee of the House nn the Bill for the Importation of Corn.
Colonel WOOD rose to move his amendment. He liad 'already
stated ,the tenor of his' amendment, and therefore would not
trouble the House with any further observations. Ile did not
deeire to make a speech, and he would stand still, therefore,
or klu on, jilt as the discretion of the House might rem mutt
advisable,.

Mr. CALCRAFT then.made a few obiervationo, but in a very
low tone.

Sir IL PARNELL. thought it better to make no farther oppo-
sitiou et this time.

Colonel WOOD" said, as it seemed to be the general svi,li
of the HoMie that he should not proceed, he certainly would not.
(Hear, hear.)—ln reference to his own opinion, he must again
state, that it was unchanged. It Was 'not he who ahrunk horn the

Lord MILTON Was happy to find his Hon. Friend declined
moving his Amendment, which would doubtless have excited a
lolig and useless discussion. He, however, thought the mode of
'proceeding rather singular: Those opposed to the measure ab-
stained from presenting their opposition, because they thought
they ahOuld fight' their battle better by not moving their Amend-
ment, than by moving it„—(lfear !)—Whethey this would be the
case he could not say ; but let the ansenthnent be moved cc nut,
he thought it necessary to gaud himself from being inilutled
