TO THE PUR f.IC.

inrAvrNG stated the Seierne of the New State
11..1. Lottery at length, I no* beg leave to say it meets
with my most unqualifiel approbation, as it is on the good
old principle of the old-fashioned English Lotteries. Of
late years. Lotteries having bettome more frequent than in
former times, various Contractors introduced various novel-
ties into the themes, which novelties, however popular at
the time, have, from their frequency. become now no longer
attractive; thereforefore the Office-keepers concerned with
myself in the present Contract with Government. have de-
It-mined to try how far the old-fashioned old-English
Scheme of all Money. williont any Prise of any denomina-
tion being fixed, meets your approbation ; thinking it Ilkety
that no novelty may be the greaten novelly; consequently
we have made a Scheme on that basis, and look forward
with the greatest confidence to yonr approval. It will be
found to eons at of 20,000 Tickets, to be drawn in Six Days.

public and private, has but few equals. Some of his
workmen were employed in an out-house, melting a
composition for marking sheep, which, boiled over,
and instantly enveloped the place io flames. The de-
structive element soon communicated to the adjoining
offices, in one of which was about 100/. worth of balk

six or seven in number, with all that they co-Ita:n,l,

DARING Of/TIMM—Oa Monday night, the house
Of a wan of the name of James Barry, a carpenter,
residing at this side of Glantnire. about s.i miles from 1
tows, was attacked by a detachment from the Union
of Trades, consisting of about forty, who, after bat-
tering all the windows in bout of his house, as well as
the adjoining, broke in. and beat him and his wife in a
shocking manner. Their rage against Barry was ex-
cited by his not belonging to their body, and his hav-
ing obtained employment in a respectable distillery in
this city. He had a gun which he attempted to u e.
but being out of order, it did not go olf, and unfortu-
nately for him, served as an iostrament in the ruffians
hands to beat him with, in wiiich use it wet broke:l.--
Barry made his escape from his house, but was follow-
ed and attached, when his sister rushed to his assist-
ance, and sustaining great injury herself, enabled him ,
to escape a second time, into an adjoining house,
*bleb they broke into—destroyed the doors and win-
dows, and beat the owner in a barbarous manner, but
could not find Barry. They then departed, vowing
vengeance, and the full completion of their savage in.
tendons against him. It is a dreadful evil that this

a destructive fire broke not in a large boa stowage be-
longing to J. Elie, Esq. situated at the back of Hall
Piece, Harming:. The dames spread with the greatest
rapidity, and it was touch feared that the extensive
outhouse adjoining, which was connected wilt it by
a covered platform, would fill a prey to the devoucing
element, bet fortunately the plaifarrn was resolved
before the flames reached it, and. although the °a..-
house had at one time caagnt fire, it was soon ezzin-
gu:shed, and the building was preserved, principally
owing to a small engine k-pt on the premises. The
flames by this time mail communicated to a cottage
adjoining the stowage, from whence it soonspread SO
the back part of Hall Place, which was'very shortly
in a comp:ete blaze. At this juncture the Kent en-
gines arrived from Maidstone, and were soon follo.ved
by the Norwich Union, but (owing to the want ..t
water, which was only to be obtained from pimps
and wells at a distance off) they were unable to wok
for some time, and then only at intervals, as the an-
gines could get filled. Owing to this circumstance,
the fire was a long time b-fore it could he got under,
and it was principally owing to the very Thick walls
of this ancient mansion that the flame. were pre-

stroyed. as the wind set completely in that direction.
It was three o'clock before all apprebensintra for their'
safety was removed. The whole of the stowage
contatuing eight tons of hops, packed and
unpacked, together with a cottage adjoining, were
entirely consumed. Hall Place (formerly the real-
.l,-ece of J11}I• Cale, Esq. bat for many years occu-
pied by Mr. Pilcher, as a school) was the greater part
destroyed, scarcely any thing but the bare wales and
cairn .rya being left standing. The fire is suppose.!

stolen, among which were two watches. The dame •e

verting to a subject which we fain would have spared;
we allude to the apathy and indifference with which
hundreds of the hop-pickers and others stood by and
witnessed the conflagration, without offering a hand
to suppress ir, and who, when entreated so to fin, with
jeers and smiles refused.—(.lfaidstooe Journal.)
On Sunday night the shop of Mr. Skelton, pawnbroker.

robbed of upwards of 1500/. worth of gold and silver
watches, rings, chains, seals, spoon, anti valuable jew-
ellery.
