DOMESTIC NEWS.

RS. Midnight, who is intimately acquainted with FORTUNE, and has great Power over her Wheel, intends on Tuesday the 19th Instant to open an Office of Intelligence and Prediction, by confulting of which all Perfons may be inform'd whether they are to have Blanks or Prizes in the prefent Lottery.

N. B. All the Gentlemen that propofe to reap any Benefit from this Office, are to bring Certificates of their Worth and Honefty, fign'd by any three of their Enemies, and the Ladies to produce Teftimonials of their Virtue, fign'd by any two of their own Sex. All are to come drefs'd fuitable to their Circumstances in Life, and to take Care that the Money they adventure is their own.

On Thursday the 7th of this Inftant, the Tragedy of Othello was perform'd at Drury Lane Theatre, to the moft brilliant Audience that perhaps ever was affembled upon any Occafion. The whole Performance was truly admirable, and merited all the Applaufe that was or could be given it.

N. B. I honour my good Lord Chesterfield, and the other noble Lord, for the Pains they have taken to promote the Bill for introducing the NEW STILE, which I hope will take Ef fect, for I would have every puzzle Cause and Abfurdity remov'd from this polite Nation.

* * I received the pathetic and melancholy Letter figned S. Williams, and fhould, as defired, have inferted it in this Magazine, but my Friend Mr. Newbery is about to publish a Collection of Cafes of that Kind, together with a Plan for the better Maintenance of the Poor, and for the more immediate Relief of the miferable Vagrants about this City; and to him I have refer'd it. The Cafes he has felected are not only very affecting, but well attested; and will undoubtedly excite Compaffion in the Breaft of every Man who has a Grain of Humanity in his Compofition; and his Plan for the future Provifion of those poor Wretches, has already met with the Approbation, Sanction and Encouragement of feveral Perfons of Distinction.
