TilouGti this Scheme has been compara tively . but a few hours before the Public, it has excited the deepest interest ever remembered in the history of Lotte ries. ale number anti magnitude of the gr ea t Prizes—the ea). nomy of the adventure—the clearness and simplicity o f t h e plan—have all combined to render it the favourite object of Public Patronage. The Scheme has been published at Rill length in every Paper, and may be obtained gratis at CAR ROLL'S, the Contractor's,- Offices, ,CORNIIILL; 20, OXFORD-STREET; 7, CIIARING CROSS. To those Persons who have not already seen the Scheme, the Contractor submits the folloWing brief epitome of its lead ing features :..-there are TWO - Prizes of - £30,000 TWO - Prizes of • £20,000 besides other Capitals and smaller Prizes, amounting in the whole to Two Hundred and Six Thousand Pounds b'terling Money, so divided as not to leave a single Number without a Benefit. TWO - of - .C - 20,000 And 1,000 other Prizes, are sure to be Drawn the First Day, 16th December, And may be obtained at a risks') unprecedentedly small as to excite the surprize of all who have seen the plan—for after taking the Chance of the First - Day, £lO may be received back for every Ticket, and in proportion for Shares, whether the Number be drawn or undrawn. By this offer, the immense sum of Three Hundred and 'rwenty-four Thousand Pounds is ac. tually added to the Pries Money of the First Day, as it must be clear, that every Purchaser has the option of making his Number un £lO Prize us sown as . that Day's Drawing is over ; if he be successful, he may gain (and somebody must gain) 4:20,000 or more—and if unsuccessful, he cannot lose more than £4 19s. by a Whole Ticket Half - £3 501 Eighth - - • £0 10 0 Quarter • 4EI 13 6 1 Sixteenth - £0 9 6 Being the difference between what a T i c ket will cost, and what may be` received back for it any time before the 26th of De cumber. CARROLL'S great Luck in Selling Thirty and Twenty Thousand Pound Prizes is well known ; but he abstains from particularizing them at this moment, as he is more anxious to press on the attention of Adventures what he hopes- to do for them in 'the coming Scheme, than what he has done for them in past Lotteries, RED DEK4t. 11TANT ED to Stock a PARE, both STAGS V and HINDS, for which a rood price will lie given.

GREY,, Bart., (the Commissioner), and the Principal Offiecre of His Majesty's Dock Yard, Portsmouth, have given the Patentee permission to publish the following Statement.of Facts relative to his PATENT DETECTOR LOCK; namely, That have ing, by order of the Honourable Navy Board, lately supplied a considerable number of his Patent Detector . Locke for the use of the Portsmouth Dock Yard, and 'being informed that there was a Convict on board one of the prison-ships at this port, who was notorious for picking Leeks, (being by profes con a Lock Maker, and who hie, till recently, for several years been chiefly employed in pickiug anti rep:tering Locks in London), the Patentee requested the favour of Commiseimier the Honourable Sir George Orem genttur .this titan, that he might exercise his skill in atteamting to pick his Lock; and the Commissioner having been pleased to acquiesce in this re quest, the man was sent for accordingly, and one of Chubb's Pa:, tent Locks was submitted to his inspection, at the Storekeeper's Office, in the presence of several of the Principal Officers ; when, after a tewetul examluation, he said, " he thought he could pick or open it with false instruments." He was therefore fur nished with files, and all the tools he stated to be necessary to prepare the instruments for his purpose ; and was directed to give notice to the Storekeeper when he should be • ready to make the trial, for the promotion of whidi a Reward of Five Pounds was promised him it' he suceeeeled. In about three weeks after this time, he sent to say that he was ready ; and, a time being fixed on for the purpose, he cont.. menced his operations in endeavouring to pick one of the Locks, in the presence of the Principal Officers of the Duck-yard;'' but he could not succeed. lie then stated, " that his failure was in consequence of his instruments not exactly fitting the' Lock." To remove this hupediment, the Patentee offeted to supply him with some blank keys, which should fit two of the' Locks ' in order to his melting another trial ; these were fur nished accordingly, together with a Lock exactly the same in principle and in kind as those lie had been trying, so that he might examine its construction, and make himself master of its principle. Shortly after be made Whether attempt to pick two of the Locks, in the presence of the Honourable Sir George Grey, and the Principal Officers of the Dock-Yard : his success in this attempt was not better than 'the tirst ; but he overlifted the Detector of each Lock. Sir ( ieorge Grey then asked him, what he would do In this case, supposing. he had been making an attempt on such a Lock, with an went to cone. mit a robbery . ? He said, " I would go no more to the Lod:, ever would set a watch and catch Me." He still thought,lioive ever, that, by a further alteration the instruments he could yet succeed ; more time was therefore given him, end even , facility afthrtled him. Smile time afterwards he agaiu repeated his climes, in the presence of the same Gentlemen; but having, in his previous experiments, overlifted the Detectors, he; could not by any means disengage them ; this was done for him seve ral tunes, with the Keys belonging to the hocks ; but, as often as they were regulated, on every successive trial . he detected' them again ; at last he leave them up, saying, `.`''!'hat he had used his utmost ability to Lis repeated attempts, and could not succeed : that Ulm Locks were the most secures ever met with, and that lie. did not think it possible for any man to pick or open them with any false instruments whatever. • • The Patentee of the above Lock, in Making the following observations, disclaims .any Intention of depreciating the merits their insecurity : but t reete the Detector Lock will entitle -him by; deecrihing their defects, of demonstrating of other Looks, to a share in the attention and patronage of the Public ; as it possesses, in a much hi g h er d egree t h an all y other, the four principal requisites of a eerul Lock; viz. SECURITY, SlM which not erly`it imposeible to be picked false PLICIT V, S TRENGTH..and DURABILITY. Its SE CA/ rt ur Y. particularly, 1 4 leee ee s e de ae ye u e, en i et e ee n e w e y an or otieneif instruments, but also detect,. the firerimprovement,any. attempt to open it ; h h teereee preventing those repeated eflhrts, to which even the best Locks hitherto invented are exposed. In these Locks, the combinations admit of so great variety, that millions of them may be made, and yet one Key shall not-pass any two - Locks; and the Detector renders that variety infinite: for the instant that one or more of the tumblers are lifted beyond the place where the bolt is' at liberty to pass, it overlifts the De tector, which then hooks the cull at the bolt, preventing it from passing, and thus gives incalculable additional security, (a s . well us immediate notice, the first time the titre key is put into it to open it, that an attempt has bee n ma d e to p i c k i t ,) an d re nd ers all farther attempts useless; it being impossible to di cover the first combination. to disengage the Detector, or the' second, to remove the bolt ; and nothing but the true key can either re.; lease the Detector from its gram) cm the bolt; 'or open the Lock. In reference to Its 1)1.7I(Aul 'ATV, it is not liable to be in. ,Jared by constant use in any length of time; this has been 'as certained, 14 an Iron-girt emee luiving been attached to a Steam-Enginiin the Dock-yard, • Po: smouth (to try the effect of friction), by which it was locked and unlocked upwards of four hundred and sixty thousand times, without receiving the least injury. The STRENGTH of its parts, and the SIM PLICITY of its construction, are such, that no False Key, or other Instrument, iptreduced into it for the purpose of open •ing It, can (without very great violence) injure it.

EX rAwrt AtUOTTS, BANXRUPTS, WINE-MERCIIANTS. Mr. Mormtou argued for the petitioners, whose certificate was opposed by the house of Longhorn, creditor to the amount of 72,000/. • The Lonn CITANCELL(Mi, in commenting upon the case, observed, that the law, as it now stood by, the protisions oft 'a' late /let of Parliament, allowed sound discretion to the Lord Chancellor to entertain the prayer of a single creditor in opposition to the certificate. The state of the law, to.. gether with the gperal practice as it stood before, formed a subject of very Just complaint. At that. time, if. creditors to a certain amount signed, the Chancellor must issue the certificate. And this grievance he had himself "often felt at a time when, from the altering nature of trade, there were many. more bankruptcies than at present, that in cases of the most profligate and corrupt bankruptcies, those creditors Who made the greatest outcry were found, ninety-nine times out of a hun dred, to sign . first. • His LerdShip 'appeared to think that the presenr case was one. peculiatly•fit. for the etercis.tt of tills new discretion which was entrusted to biol. TOcae bankrupts bad shown assets, nine months before Me connucsaion, which they valued at 107,0001. Their certificate was signed.. by creditors, whose claim amounted to 9;0001., and it was opposed by ,ope creditor whose claim was 72,0001. Undoubtedly he could not allow himself, 'by granting the certificate, to cifeet the entire cancellation of so considerable a debt, while yet those erten; - mous assets, which were said to be in existence nine months • before, remained unaccounted for. lie 'would thereforerequire the petitioners to make known to the Court what had: become of those assets, and Ito would allow them to make any other. affidavita which might cOntribute:to the'.perfect information of the Court as to the reasons why they put this or that partieular value upon the several items in that list, whether houses, tend, ing stock, or other property.

The circum stances which attendedlins will made it necessary for him to state that Mr. Montefiore, 'having gone - to France for recovery of his health, was taken suddenly ill at Lyons on the 20th of August, 1024, and died the following morning. When he formulas end a pproaching, he called for a person named AVm. Woodley,.who attended him, and dictated to him the following i prayer, in which he says, " I bequeath to my son, Joseph, the 11. ortlipark farm in - Sussex ; to my son, Nathan, the Brighton farm ; and all my other property of every kind I bequeath to my dear wife llenrietta." After it was written in French, he desired it to be again written in English, and - had it read over to him, upon which he called for a pen, intending to sign it, but was seized with a spasm, and prevented ; a second anti a third time he essayed to edniplete it by his signature, but was unable to make It, and remained so through weakness until the following morning, when he expired. - The Court would consider the mere dictation of the party in this case sufficient without the signature, and' grant the probate on it as prayed for by Mrs. Montefiore. Dr. Luslinewriax, on the part of the executors, fully concur. red In paying a just tribute to the prudential motives by which Mrs. M. was actuated, and he had to state why they opposed the granting a probate on this paper, as the last will of the ceased, or containing Itio final intentions. It appeared that on the 3d May, 1020,i Mr. Mortefiore made a will, by which he he tieeathed 2.5001. each, to be invested in ale funds, for his four children by the present wife, and , 15,000 L to his daughter Marina (wlio had already 11;000/: , vested in her name in the 3. per cent. Consols), and bequeathed the remainder of his pro. peat , to his wife.' . A second paper was also found, supposed to be executed in 1023, in which, after recommending his wife not to enter again Into the matrimonial state. he directs a sum of 10,0001. each 'to be given to his children, leaving the house at Stamford-hill, a life-interest .ititheft orthpark limn, and an in. come of 6,0001. a-year to be paid to his wife until his two boys elitinld attain the age of 18, and his two girls the age of - 17, after which she should receive 4,0001. per annum; with a further liberty for her to will -awayloo,oool. at her decease. There were other provisions for charities, and divers small legacies to relations, but no provision for the residue of the property, Which Was immense. To this will he appointed his wife ' N. M. Rothschild, Esq., and Mr. Montefiore, executor& The Learned Advocate contended .that probate should be granted on either of these, or both ; and ranted circumstances attend ingrOke the former di str ib u ti on o f revoke to even, e when he heard it rend, wished the paper • propounded on the opposite s id e , w hi c h in duced him to think it was the intention of Mr. 3lontefiore, his prover dictating ty thator that it to be considered final, as he stated to a servant, 'he wished a provision to be made for William, meaning Woodley, and expressed his intention of leaving him 1,0001. The residue of the property left to the wife was by . this paper immense, and he thought it at variance with the intention ever entertained by Mr. M. to allow it entirelyto her, which was evident from the provision he made for her m the two other wills. The Learned Advocate contended at considerable length in opposition to the probate being granted as prayed for. Drs. 3ENNER anti Pititmatoute replied, and said it was evident that Mr. Montefierc had the highest confidence in the prudence of Mrs. Montehore ; anti that his leaving the residue of his immense property to her was a consequence of this con& dence. Ile knew the children were safely ent tusted to her protection, and that in consideration of their tender age, money already vested by him in the funds for their• use and benefit, was a sufficient absolute provision, naturally relying they would always reerive from their isar ent that protection they were enti tled to. . parties would, however, cheerfully bow to the de cision of the Court in the final distribution of the property. Sir Joust Niclioet.—Though I have no doubt at present on my mind what the decision will be, yet, as it is an affair of such magnitude, I will postpone giving judgment until next Court day. IN VIE GOODS OF •-••• PALLING % ESQ. DECEASTD. Upon most full and satisfactory affidavits from Sir (forge Tuthill, 31. D., and Dr. Powell, M.D., as to the state of the party's mind,. the opposing party (his aunt) withdrew all op position to Mr. Palling's claim to the grant of letters of admi nistration to the estate of his late father, which the Court de erect' to him accordingly. A FATAL TURN.LTP IN VAN DIEMEN'S On the e 2hth May last, James Miller and Hugh Oran, the former a compositor, and the latter a printer tolhe Hobart Town Gagette, quarrelled while labouring under intoxication, and they retired to a dark passage to settle their difibreneea, when Miller received a blow on the temple, or under. the ear, which produced apopleiry, and he died. . A Coroner ' s Inquest was held on the body, before W. H. HUMPIIREY, Esq., the Coroner, and a verdict of 411anslaughter was returned against Hugh Weer', SUFFOLK'HOSPITAL. ( Prom'the fluty Gazette, N0v.17.) • A highly respectuble . and very nunierobs 141fet. dug Of the nobility, clergy, .and gentry of the surrounding neighbourhood, met together, on Wednesiday last, at the Ahgel Inn, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of establishing au fjospitul in the county of Sufli►lk, upon the princi;de of those alrently.crected in the neighbouring counties 'of Nnrfolk and Essex. . . , - 01 IN Fr.rzaEll A L Esq., the nigh Sheriff'of the county, wastunanhootisly called to the Chair, and briefly stated the ob ject.cf the Meeting. Si: W. PARxr,n observed, that before the business of the Meeting was gone into, it would be desirable to know in what State : the subscriptions were; as it would be very unwise to adopt any measures, or detertnineuponanv lineal conduct until 4, was ascertained to what extent the tiuttis would justify them in , oing. . . _ bard EUSTON thought it better, perhaps, that the meeting should be properly put in .possession of the case as it'actuShy stood, amithen let it adopt such measure* as might appear most advisable. The immediate motive fir calling the present meeting originated . inthe offer iyhich had been made by the proprietors Of a building in the neighbourhood of the town, Inown as the Ordnance Depot, in every way calculated to suit . . the object. in view. No reflecting, et generous mind could, for a moment, question the usefulness of an institution, which had for its object the relief.of the indigent and lowly sufferer; anti he felt himself justified in saying 'that the leading and opulent inlusbitants of . the county had only waited tier a fair opportu nity for carrying that most deeireble object into execution. The building Which had been offered was in .its situation re markably healthy and salubrious, and of a very • tubistantial structure. The vendors of it were, in every respect, desitieue of aisposing of it on 'fair' and equitable terms ; they required something inure than their abSolute purchase money, which, as a matter of business, they were fairly entitled to ; but they had signaled their intention of becoming subscribers to the institution,• and he believed he was authorised to say that, if their tender was agreed to; they would subscribe 001. The amount which they had paid for the build ing, as far as he was informed, was 16001., sad the sum they required 18501. This was for the mere building and the ground on which it stood ; but the meeting would recollect that to make it useful and serviceable to the purposes of an Hospital, a vast quantity of alterations, as well as many expensive additions, would be required. To arrive at the probable expence of these alterations and additions, much pains had been bestowed by se veral of the gentlemen whom he saw around him, as well ,as • himself. Several estimates had been made, and It scented quite certain that the expencee of carrying the object into exeett lion, would 'require u sum eery little short of 5000/. This sum, •--it must be understood, would be entirely sunk in the purchase and improvethent of the building, and it would subsequently of course be necessary that additional subscriptions—an. mail subscriptions he meant—should be entered hot', to defray the annual expenditure of the establishment.— In order to le, enabled to present the Meeting with every pos sible information on this interesting subject, he had sought and procured-the opinion of Mr. - Humphrey, of Cambridge, anti . with the permission of the Chairman he would suggest that the letter, he ( lewd Euston) had received from that gentleman he now rend. The Meeting would remark that Mr. ifuniphrey, in his estimate, had paid more attention to the classic elegance and ornamental architecture of the exterior of the building, than the subscribers would, perhaps, feel themselves justified hi going to the ex pence of, at the onset. This, however, was pond which might be easily rectified.. Mr. Humphreys letter was then read. It. went into. a de tailed ateount of the state and situation of the building, recent . - metaled the pulling down one part of it, -suggested a , varietrof altaations and improvements in others, none of which sesnesl to meet witiethe approbation of the meeting, and .concluded,hy stating that to carry the measure into effect in a ;trotter Manner, 5,1.100/..weuld be required for the purchase, improvement, :and tit Cue; up of the building, and about 1,400/. a year to meet tie aunt:al expenditure ; the building mite so Constructed as to re ceive 40 patients. , litoetrio Ix was of opinion that it was quite upnecee aary, at the - present moment, to incur the expellee of the orna mental embellishments which Aire Humphrey propoied. It would be quite enough for them to attend to the internal regu lations, 'pod in the event of a surplus of funde, the external architecture of the building might then form a very. fair O bject of consideration. He did not make this observation with , a view of checking the progress of the subscriptions ; he, on th'e contrary, thought that in a ease of such vital importance asahe preseut, the sum at the disposal of the Managing= Committee should rather be extensive titan confined. . Sir LACHLAN 3PLEA:',i, with r‘Mpect to the annual expend diture to be required, said, that Mr. Humphrey wits consider ably miitaken in his ealculation. - Supposing the building to, : hold about 40'perSone, he considered that 20 would be a fair average.se condoned and regular inmates, and he was persuad ed that every necessary requisite might he provided rot them for half the stint proposed by 31r. Humphrey. ' -.Os long and desultor conversation then ensued, in which Sir ° Wm.. Rowley, • Sir Wm. Parker, Sir Henry Banbury, Lotd Euston, Colonel Bushbrooke, Sir James Milk*, Sir 1.-echfan 11PLean, and several other Gent/mine), took part, town the ex e peaces of -the - Essex and Colchester Hospital, arum which esta blishment several returns were read), as contrasted with those, which would be likely •to‘arise from the Suffolk Hospital, if die proposed expenditure was: adopted. A strange cootraitictiort of epinion prevailed; and the conversation ilroptied without any determination being crone to. An equally uninteresting conversation succeeded open the propriety of culling the 'Hospital, " The Suffolk 'Mid Bury 'jovial," which was at length interrupted by— • Sir IlEstax Buetuttuee suggesting that it was not a proper moment to go into the details of the intended plan. He looked - open this Meeting as a preliminary one, and until the feeling of the eastern part of the county could be ascertained, it would be fruitless to contemplate any fixed or decisive. ineasureso.e- Many of the inhabitants of the county, resident in the neigh, bourhood of Ipswich, might think Bury too far removed froM them, and it might therefore become necessary to eStahlish two Hospitals, one for the eastern, the other Om the western part ofthe county. Indeed, there were many eoneideratiOne in detail, would. require mature deliberation, and he thought the most advisable plan to pursue would he, to till up the sub., scription list as fast as possible, and proceed to the general re solutions and immediate business of the day without delay. Let the present Meeting do all it could to forward the - . object, and, then let a Committee be appointed, empowered o,eorreepond . an d . Otherwise communicate with the leading persons in the various parts of the county, and report die result of their hours to a general Meeting of the SubscribereH(Approe tuition.) • , Lord EtisTot then proposed the Ist and 2d Itesolutione, and Sir 11. Bolen utter the remainder--(,Jos' which see 'laver.: lisernent, _The Meeting wait again employed some time . in' questioning Whether the • building which had been offered was sufficiently large for a. Celenty Hospital. It was stated that the ground on which it stood was not more than an acre of land, and some of the gentlemen contended that that was not sufficiently large to accomniodatothe wants nail meet the demands' of the whole county. It was, however, suggested by others, that there quantity of land in the newhboittbood . of thebuildingas, permitted it. thatnt. ground there w lit ' iThl a in V g7Which might be easily purchased so soon as the feed, Mr. -111.oasoir to submitted, that while their fund s were small, they should - content themselves with a 'small buildin g , and he, for one, should propose that if there was only room f or 10 persons, the machine should he met in , motion. With re. spicehowever,t o the h e building t i as f ni firmly iny persuaded question enough to meet the demands of the whole county. Here .ttt matter dropped. r. CaltBS, as one of the present proprietors of the building: meted, that as it appeared - the meeti ng was not l ikelyp , to come to any final arrangement that day, he would pledge 'himself to , hold-the building at the disposal f ' 0 t comoo.lttee ipr rnotitk longer.—.(Approbation.) W et. /tow LEV thought theconduct of the vendora highlyliberal ' and praise -worthy, and he should therefore propose, that the meeting express, their settee of it by. a vote of thanks to ;those gentlemen for their liberal offer, which being seconded by Sir Henry Bunbuty, was unanimousy carried. _ ne Committee was then named, i Ir. Horton appointed as secretary, and the meeting separated, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman for his impartial and gentlemanly conduct in the chair. -- -.-7 . .. , --._._.__:...............—...—.--... ..............—.
