Having been requested by Mr. Arcbi-
bald M'lnlyre, the Manager Of the Guam
tico Canal Lottery, to examine the prln-
ciples on which Lott cries are. formed by
the combination of numbers, plan which
be purposes 10 pursue in raising the money
which he is authorised, by his contract
with the commissioners, to raise and
having anentiveIy examined the princi-
pies on which such Lotteries are formed
we have 20 hesitation in declaring, that,
in our view. the plan is perfectly tair and
correct. We have particularly examined
the scheme Of bis first class, consisting OF
1860 tickets formed, by The combination
of 80 numbers and hnd, that The amount
of the prizes which must, OF necessity, be
drawn therein. by the d,awi ing OILS out oI,be
30 numbers, as proposed by. the scheme, -
Dig, $3.50, which is tue amount OF the 1850
tickets at the scheme price Of D6 30; con-
sequentIy, no other profit can accrue 10
the said Commissioners, or to DIR. Min
tyre, on the sale Of all the tickets in the
scheme, at that price, than the. Is per
cent. to be deducted from the prizes
We are also of opinion, this plan has
decided preferesce over the old, on &C.
count of the celebrity and accuracy of the
determination Of the prizes, 1t precludes
the possibility Of the commission OF frauds
or mistakes in the drawing. end saves
much waste OF time and expense.
