The Capital Prizes in the late Lottery were divided
into no le.s than 341 Shares, Anti thus a very large
pc:rtion of the cornmunity have gained an accession
Ot proptrty, varying in amount from Priz s of £2oo,
up to the very independent Fortune of 420,000 Stet..
ling!—lt is eon•pctted Also that, on an Average, from
six to 4,14 persons are directly or indirectly bent..
S•ed by every Snare sold;—this is more than a
counterpoise to all the arguments which prejudice has
lese•I• d against Lotteries; but the moderate Prices
at which Tickets and Shales are sold, in Mr. Sive-
u moue • Contracts, silences all objections. 1,.r al.
though much may be gained, little can be lost The
New Lottery contains Fovz Prizes of 420,000, and

CHARGES or TIIKASONT..—SHAAy morning, Mr.

Buvbstieet Officer, arrivLd in London with three

s. They underwent an examination before Sir
NATHANISL CONANT, and were committed to the
House of Correciitm.

the Pioprievirs of the Haymarket 'rheatre bad a
meeting in the Theatre to take into consideration the
time for opening for the season, and other business.
TlOey adjourned from that meeting till Saturday. A
woman, whose duty it was to prepare a room for
their meeting, entered by the stage door, and beheld
some images out of their usual place; she thought
them preternatural appearances, and was so much
alarmed that she ran 4 tit into Suffolk-street, scream-
ing with terror. An investigation and examination
took place in consequence ; when it was ascertained
that the Theatre had been broken open, and robbed
of the large full-length looking-glass in the Green.
room, the glass attached to the King's box, some of
the dresses, and a variety of other articles packed up
ready for caviling off. In consequence of this dis-
covery, Mr. Moms, one of the Proprietors, applied
at Bow street Office, when LACKS and three other
Constables were appointed to watch the premises, in
expectation of the return of the thieves: they sat up
on Saturday and Sunday nights, but the thieves did
not !smite their appearance, and the Constables'
watchings were discontinued. Mr. Monate then en-
gaged one man to watch the Theatre in a concealed
part in butAilk-street, and about half-past twelve
o'clock he saw tour or five men go to the stage-door,
and entvr with as.much ease as if they had the regu-
lar key or the docir. The man instantly informed
Mr. Monass, who resides next door to the Theatre:
he instantly procured a number of watchmen and
others, and surrounded the stage-door, as well as
the doors in the Haymarket he then, at the head of
several persons, entered the Theatre, and commenced
a general search for the robbers, and continued it for
a considerable time without success, till at length
they came to the door of the female wardrobe, and
not being able to open it in the regular way, they
forced it open, whew- they found four men, whom
they secured, and then. proceeded to search them,
and found upon them a quantity of theatrical beads
of very little value; they also found they had brought
into the Theatre seventeen skeleton or picklock keys,
an iron crow (which fitted the places that had been
forced); one of the skeleton or picklock keys opened
the door with the same ease as the key; a dark-lan-
tern, some matches, and phosphorus. Several of the
deess-rooms were broken,- as was the music.room.—
Yesterday they were brought to the Office, and un-
derwent a long examination before the sitting Magi-
strate. They all proved to be well-known cbarac-,
ters--Jais Holmes alias Joaailtaa Will, Biciard James,'
?Ammar Davis, and Joseph Holland. They were hots
mined, charged with stealing a doll, a helmet, sere-,
rat dresses, and a variety of, articles,' the property of
Messrs. Compute, Momus, and W 11451014.
