KOTISSUL'S late Travels through Italy will make

enjoyed.

On Sunday evening, one of the Greenwich long

A bailiff having met with a pm-fon a few days fine
in the neighbourhood of Wapping, againß whom he
had a little commiffion, gently touched him on the
Moulder, and requelled the favour of his company.
After recovering from the fuddennefs of his fur-
prize, the debtor began to expoftulate, though with
little cleft, on the hardnefs of the times, and con-
cluded with the emphatic obfervation of " What's a
man to do who has been unlucky all his life?" on
which an honeft tar who came reeling by at that in-
Rant. exclaimed " Do ? why buy a (hare in the pre-
fent Lottery as I did in the lalt, and then (pulling
nut a Rocking full of dollars) you'll Rand a chance
of the bell prize you ever overhauled." 'the failoz,
with charaftetißic benevolence, then furniffied him
with the means of purchaling half a Ticket.
It is an interefting fa,l that the lan Lottery of
25,000 Tickets had not Co many Capital Prizes as
the prefent one, nor was any return made for Blanks,
yet the Tickets rote to nearly Three Pound: above the
price which thole of the prefent Lottery are now fel-
ling at. The fuperior advantages of the Scheme
now before the public, will hell account for the great
demand at the Office of SWIFT and Co. who feel
themfelves warranted in alerting, that the prices of
Tickets and Shares will experience a confiderable
advance before the 3oth of this•months on which day
the Drawing begins.
