Addison says, " There is a material distinction
between sfiendinz and rhisArtandiag money." His
meaning is obvious—the former !tray be productive
of gath-athe lattet, without ahy posiibility of good
resulting from it, at least to the mis-pender. Quer'e ?
Does not the immense richness ofthe depending Sta:*
Lottery present a prospect of great gain, even from
spending on it a very little money ?

In town or country, there is scarcely a tatern,
coffee rouse, inn, or public-house, but subscriptions
are raising for the purpose of purchasing Tickets and
Shares. The old clubs have began to lay out part of
the money, which accounts for the present dernand
that HORNSBY and Co. daily experience from all parts
of the United Kingdom. The Scheme stands in high
estitnation,--Litst year, Hawser and Co. were May
fortunate, selling Seventy.two Shares of Capital
Prizes, at their Old established State Lotte_i7 Offices,
25, Combat, 52, Charing-geou, and St. Margaret's
Hill, Botougl. . . . ' •
