DRAWING of the HEPTAPRZEIIIIOII'
(THIS DAY.)
The drawing of the lleptaprremion (the distributiel36
on the plan of the Art-Union of the Bowyer Gallery, th,
property of Mrs. Parkes), took place this morning at
vent-garden Theatre. The doors were opened at ten oteloc",
and the dress-boxes and upper circle were almost it:olla%.
diately occupied by elegantly dressed ladies. The pit dies
also well filled, and there were on the stage several lscue
and gentlemen, amongst whom we noticed James Hamner,
..
Esq., who appeared to takes great interest in the proceery
ings. F. Stone, Esq., was called to the chair show
,tcl
before eleven o'clock, and the drawing commelni.
several hundred pound prizes were drawn during the Oro
part of the morning ; but it was not until nearly %,
o'clock that a higher prize was drawn, when the islho
nouncement that one of the 1504 prizes had fallen to d
lot of the holder of ticket 10,891 was received with I°ll
cheering.
During the course of the morning ticket 4,824, the

BOYS' FINE ARTS DISTRID

The drawing for prizes in this lottery, under Tll3'rg
Monteagle's Act of last session, took place this dal t
the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street. The grefi
room was crowded with a very fashionable companii°ll;
before the time of drawing—two o'clock. w of
Mr. Elderton was called to the chair upon a smn••,,fl

The wheels were then examined by Mr. Brn°,l,,y

The CHAIRMAN said he had now to state the roes°

meeting to state what improvement 6 Mr. Boys had Ma'
in the original plan for the benefit of the subscribers'
He was originally pressed into this course of dispelsng
of his works by lottery, in consequence of the proceoP
ings of the art-unions. In his former sehetn!
the number of tickets disposed of was coast:
derably less, and consequently the prizes dreal'
were fewer than was originally intended. A great ine:
ber of prizes remained on hand, for which it was
Boys' intention to have a second drawing. But in
t of
course of the progress of that plan, the proceedinga_
Art-Union were interrupted by a notice from the Govern_
went that they were illegal. That difficulty had since betel;
removed, and Mr. Boys had enlarged his scheme bi,rhe
addition of 208 prizes, value of 4,2ool.—(Applause) 'the
additional tickets were only 2,648, whilst tr.
increased value of the prizes was four tans,
sand guineas.—(Applause.) As the meeting 0115 tof
unanimous in expressing satisfaction with the conduct
Mr. Boys, he would occupy no more of their anteetioo
to state that amongst the prizes were Dino of

PORTSOKEN WARD. to
The election just concluded has given age
es-
great dal of speculation in the City. It 'Oll-51,''for
reported ported that Mr. Moon intended to aPP,?„,t of
a scrutiny, it being the belief of his friends o'-ors
the thirty-two majority of Mr. Salomon's supP° to
there was not one Rho can support his title v,
i
vote. If the scrutiny be undertaken and prove stio,.
cessful there will of course be an end to all legtamer.-
terposition, and Mr. Moon will be returned as •A':,,-0,
man. Mr. Moon has, however, another expect' be
upon which it is supposed stronger reliance 36
placed than upon any superiority he may consider
self likely to obtain from the examination of the votes 7
both sides. His principal dependence, it is assertd(
is placed upon the Court of Aldermen, that hctela
having refused to swear in Mr. Salomons when eice,. bib
Alderman of Aldgate Ward, in consequence 01 $,
having declined to subscribe the following deelltirir,,
tion, a proceeding required by the 9th of Georeithe
for repealing so much of several Acts as imp's
necessity necessity of receiving the Sacrament of the ii,°o,6
Supper as a qualification for certain c 74,
and employments :—" I do solemnly and sincero- e,
in the presence of God, profess, testify, and dee' er-
upon the truth of a Christian, that I will never 00
case any power, authority, cr influence which I Plor
possess by virtue of the office of to in..lll,Lehed
weaken the Protestant Church as by law estahlwthe
in England, or to disturb the said Church,
bishops and clergy of the said Church, in the POs
sion of any rights or privileges to which such Chlrw
or the said bishops and clergy are or may be by
entitled."
to the
The friends of Mr. Salomons, in answer ain
argument that the Aldermen have been sanctioned
their refusal to swear in that gentleman by the
ment of the Court of Queen's Bench, state that ,do
Aldermen are released from the obligation to del
in any future case upon such an authority, and Vic.
to the form of declaration contained in the Ist of 0,
toria, entitled "An Act for the Relief of Qulikoem.
Moravians, and Separatists elected to Municipal , to,
ces," as that which has been liberally substitute a
ther
meet any reasonable emergency. The following ißiled
form alluded to:—" I, being one of the peoPle cjiltned
Quakers, or one of the persuasion of the peoPle called
Quakers, or of the united brethren called Mor,_llY,oo
or of the denomination called Separatists (as the ;b..
may be), having conscientious scruples agai"ts:soti
scribing the declaration contained in an Act P the
in the 9th year of the reign of King George
Fourth, entitled an Act, &c., &c., do solemnly,13
cerely, and truly declare, &c., &c." Ant
The friends of Mr. Moon reply to this that t h-e 01. y
of Victoria was made to point at the Jews as the °And
persons to be excluded from municipal offices, jr,
that Mr. Salmons cannot consistently sign the
claration required by that Act, inasmuch as be nee..,
call himself either a Quaker, a Moravian, or a Yri-f
ratist, although he may consider himself very pro,
of a distinct and separate religion from the red
blished Church of this country. It is also belies I,
fes,:'
that if the word " Separatist" be looked UPorl. !en,
generic term, including all other classes of Don.
ters, Mr. Salomons would not avail himself of it, cvruish
sidering himself, while representing the
Je
nation, not as a Separatist, but as the real and 01.41 :0
Simon Pure, the whole body of Christians being
his view separatists from the Jewish faith. took
The impression made by the discussion which '
,_ch
place yesterday in the City, at various places in N'fc'tbo
interest was felt for the candidates, was, thgl
Court of Aldermen, should the subject of the 0.4131,00
