DUBLIN NEWPAPER.S.

The followin?, article is extracted from The
Dublin Journal of Tuesday last. flow far, it is•
just or liberal in its estimate of the merits of its
competitors we are unable to determine, but all
must admire the modesty of Its cohelusion. We
should like to see a similar esrimate from all the
other Dublin Newvopers, im Wing their re-
spective opinions of The Dublin Journal e
promise them that they shall be taillifully it corded
in THE SUN, if written with candour and gooct
humour, which we presume to recommend to all

parties :----
6. STATE OF TIM DUBLIN PRESS.

" There are twelve Newspapers published in
Dublitt.—The Proprietori of seven of those .cuuld
not write a sentence in their own rrino•. Three
of the remaining five are edited by their Proprie,
tors, and the tourtlt is entrusted to two Gentle•
men of distinguished talents. Five of these Papers
are democratic—tbree.are under .the controul of
Government,---one is wo are ", milk and
water," as Mr..O'Conuell would express it—and
the other is The Dublin Journal) of which the
Public may judge."

Ti LOFTERY.

That which was suspected a month ago is now
(mating to pass. From the very limited suuntin, of
the Numbers in the .prese t Lottery, ti,ere being
but• 2900, and the great demand willed' has lately
been made for them,•it is more than probable
that not one will remain unsold at the time the
Wheel goes round ; a ceremony which will take
place on WRDNEsDAY It i• supposed that
the-Two Twriity Tilb,isetuds Mgr bftve bad some
influence on the tlenr4ud.

The very•great satilfl-tion the plan atiopfed in
foromr Lotidies i;tive ro persons res,ding in the
Country; has induced T. 13104 to repeat it in the
present. The undermentioned Tick, is are re,erv-
cd for such persons• as may order them, and as
the Numbers last adverti*rd were approved by
many persons residing in Loudon, it has been
lhoubt advisable, for the convenience of the
Public, to have part at Ihe West, and part at the
liast End of the Town.-The follouviOe m•gy be'

, The acknowledged thriving state of trade, in
all branches, has had its itifincitce on the Lottery,
for double ;he number Of Ticket* ale ~o,v sold t*
what there used to be: this, however, terry in a
great measure be ascribed to the present cheapness
of Tickets, and Shares, compared alit) what had
long existed before Mr. SIVEweI(IIIT effected
their Reduction. But there is another reason for
the present great denia.»il for Tickets,-01l those
who wish to adventure cannot, as there are tio more
than 2,900 Niimbers.,--The Prize's bre
