Gambling and Lottery Critique and City Cattle Care
A letter argues that games of chance foster cheating and folly, condemning private gaming and lotteries that prey on the public. It notes a current 80,000 ticket lottery with brokers driving prices above value and urges buying tickets to seize near original price. Additional items report cattle safety concerns in London streets, a military summary from Rostock, a death at an Olive Tree oil shop, a valuable diamond import, and shipping news with prices and stocks.
