ltuus-s. of Posirm.7—The streets of the city
of Pompeii are said to be daily disencumbered.:
Mr. WILLIAMS, a late traveller, informs us, that
he. entered by the Appian. Way Through a nar-
row street of small tombs, beautifillly executed
with the names of the deceased plain ant le,
gible. At the gate was a sentry-box, in which
the skeleton of a-soldier was found with a lamp
in his hand. The streets are lined with public
buildings, the. painted decorations of which are
fresh and entire. There were several tradesmen's
shops also discpcered, such as a baker's, an oil-
man's, an ironmonger's, :a wine shop, with money
in the tills and a surgeon's house, with chirurgical
instruments. Also, a great theatre, a temple of
justice, an amphitheatre, 220 feet long, various
temples, a barrack for soldiers, (the columns of
which, are scribbled with their names and jests,)
and stocks for prisoners, in one of which a ske-
leton was likewise discovered. The principal
streets are about. 16 feet wide ; the subordinate
ones from 6 to 10.

IMPORTANT NorTcn.—Messrs. J. and J. SIVE-
WRIGHT, the Contractor's for the present Lottery,
intended their advantageous mode of adventure
should be open to the Public to take tfie.advan-
tage'of till Valentine's_ Day, 14th of this Month,
as they expected therewouldbe Tickets sufficient
but from the very extraordinary unprecedented.
demand, it is more than probable, they cannot sup-
ply the Public on- those advantageouis terms for
rtiore than a few days longer; therefore, those
Persons who usually delay their purchases"' till
the last day or two, are advisci to purchase this
Week, as Messrs. SIVEWRIGIIT think, that on or.
before Satdrday next every Ticket and Share
will have been delivered.
