We u.iderstand, that some considerable beta
have been made, that Mr. WaLtinss CHAPMAN, of

that city.
It was certainly a singular circumstance, al-
though the mtmorable PIVOT Diamond Lottery
contained hut one Prise, that eery Ticket was sold
before the drawing commenced. It would be a
much more extraordinary circumstance if the
Grand City Scheme, that stands at issue the 46th
instant, and which contains so many Prizes of im-
mense value—in short, every Prise a Capital
Prize—was to have a Ticket or Share in hand.
The fact is, they have already advanced in price,
and in a few days more the market is likely to be
exhausted.
