RICHARTSnN. GOODLUCK, and Co. respectfully ac-
quaint the Public that the STATE LOTTERY begins
Drawing To-Mouttow MORNING, and finishes the
same day.

Yesterday a carpenter of the name of Josslyn, fell
from the t,,p of a house in Tottenham-street, and
was killed on the spot.
A letter from the province of Estremadura, of 7th
March, says Our sheep are lessened very much
in quantity, and particularly the fine flocks, under the
ptewxt that the Grandees to whom they b..3onged have
taken part with the French, and they are cons:-
quently-confiscated. Our own troops and the Cue-
destroy them also in every quarter.; and,
moreover, the French destroy and send off to France
the sheep and wool belonging to both
.parties, inso-
much that I have no hesitation in asserting, that one.
quarter part of the numbers. that were in the country,
when the Revolution began, does not now exist, and
that if the war continues two years longer, the species
of Lemese sheep will be annihilated."
Messrs.HARRISON'S, BARMEN imand GREATOREVS
eighth Subscription Concert took place at the Ha-
nover-square Rooms on Friday last. The audience
was brilliant, crowded, and fashionable to a degree
seldom witnessed. The Sclactions (particularly those
from HANDEL) were executed li3k the vocal and in-
strumental performers with great taste, and called
forth repeated plaudits. Mr. HARRISON gave "Happy,
Happy Pair," from Alexander': Fear:, as usual, in a
most impressive manner, and was warmly encore.; ib
this as well as in nil his other songs. Madame
CATALAN' sang two Italian airs with her usual excel-
lence. Her 4 4 Su Griselda coraggio !" was deservedly
encored. The rest of the entertainment of the even-
ing chiefly consisted of Selections from the Poetry of
the Lady of Me Lab, set to music by Mr. Mazzirtnnt
and Dr. CLARKE. The Maniac's Song, which was
composed by the former expressly for Mrs. Astir,
was given by that lady in a manner which called
forth the tear of sensibility from the fair part of the
auditors. The Hymn.to the Virgin, composed by
Dr. CLARKE, as performed on Friday night, produced
a most striking effect : part of the vocal performers
were stationed- in the King's Box, at the further end
of the rooms, and re-echoed the Ave Maria to the
Chcbestra, with great pathos. The responses, as
thus meted, afforded a happy imitation of the Ca.'
sheds! Service is the pp of chivalry. )
