candidates if they apply in time. The place of ex-

It would be a pity that any one should go without
a Chance in the present Lottery, that ever possessed
a Share in any former Lottery, on account of its be-
ing so very beneficial to the Adventurer. No plan
heretofore laid berm the Public, partook of so many
valuable Prizes ; the lowest share can gain a stiff'. i
ciency, and a Ticket an immense sum, which may
be had at the Old Established Offices of HORNSBY
and Co. No. 26, Cornhill, and St. Margaret's-hill,
Borough, who have already shared and sold among
their friends, 2 of £30,000, ]9 of £20,000, 33 of
£lO,OOO, 47 of £5OOO, 52 of £2OOO, 76 of £lOOO,
99.8 f £5OO. Friday is the day on which £200,000-
[ must he drawn.
