The Ministerial Writers have be:m M the habit of representing it as the favourite Print of the G SSW/ Ltaa ; but it now appears, that their oi-j.:A in doing so was for the purpose of fasten ing any error tf.at Might appear in it upon the Gee e stiLe party. Of the present opportunity, however create.i, the Ministerial Pilots have taken a most s r4enereus advantage. They assert, it, the same wads," that the atatement,so far as reltefts the offer cfcompromise made to the Opposition, on the part cf the stew Ministry, and that, in consequence. ao disi,i is would probably take pace this day. is too absurd to deserve their notice, if it wert set :nit. the obvious motive which could induce that N e er to ire innate so =founded a itaternelt, as .i• •v , 't. fire feel it their duty to contracha I. : . .e : , tost term:."

The fact is, the part of the teport which is inimical and in. ju:ious to Ministers, their prints reprobate as false and unfounded, that part inimical and injurious to the Opposition, they report as official and corredt. Such is the candour of these party writers. If it is really the ineendon of Government to put d::wn Lotteries, how is the deficiency to be made good. which the Revenue will seller by rich a proceeding ? We cannot look upon Lotteries as a species of gaming. by any means subversive of the morals of a state; on the contrary, to every con templative mind, the sudden changes of fortune, which are brought about by their means, will be considered as a lesson to the affluent man not to be to, proud of wealth alone, which chance may be. rose on est most undeserving objed ; and to the poor man, not to repine at his situation, when he sees boss sudd-nly it may be amended. We trust we shall always be found advocates for my system, which tends to prove that riches me generally be. stowed by the caprice of Fortune, rather than ad judged by Providence, to such as are most deserv ing of them. As such, the intention of abolishing Lotteries meets with our most decided disapproba tion.

ASTLEY'S ANNUAL PRIZE WHERRY'. Last night, the Annual Wherry given by Mr. Astley, proprietor of the Royal Amphitheatre, Westminster-bridge, was rowed for by the follow ing six watermen, in uniform dresses, viz : I. Towns.

Aioaliarn Luck, Sumgate, Pink. The whole of the above started from Westmins ter-bridge, at four o'clock, and it WAS agreed the first three coming in this heat, should concert.' for the grand prize, which was decided in favo.tr of Abraham Lock, Juhn Evans, and John Oldfield. At a quarter before six, these three accordingly started from Westminster-bridge, to tow round a boat moored off Vauxhall, and rete-n by the Surrey shore, round the beacon off Hungerford, and through the centre arch ot Westminster-bridge. At starting, Abraham Lock took the lead; he kept it during the whole distance, with iut affording his ad ies the least charce of overtaking him, and w.ts finally declared the vi,tor. As is cus tomary on these occasions, the fortunate Candidate was carried in triumph round .the Stage et rise Theatre, a band of martial music playin.; .• Su! tfie Comporw Hee. cone,!

'he shore on each side of the river was hoed witn spetators, and the Theatre -in the evening over lowed with fashionable cnmoany. In the cause Casswext. e. VV tt.sost, a mistake was made in the report yesterday: Twu bills were tier ciated, one of 29.51. on whichSet•er and Eras re ceived 17S1. and one of 5001. on which Sitaar and YVtt.som received 2001.; after this Mr. )(Iwo declined going on, and the other bills were returned to them.

After a trial of considerable length. the Jury found a verii A for the Plaintiff, on one count of the information, for a pe nalty of 2001.

The Plaintiff's Counsel tagged, that this was, in effea, admitting the evidence of a party to prove his oan debt or demand, for that the brother's evi dence amounting to nothing specific, the case wholly rested on ow testimony of the Defendant himself, who, after so long a itehrl, and under such un common circumstances, could not be believed in this case, for that his testimony was irreconcileable to, and inconsistent with, probability, as well as with the proceedings of record ; and that the long statement of the family transaaions. which were recited, fully proved the insufficiency of this evi dence, to sustain the Master's report, in favour of the Defendant.
