STEAM NAVIGATION•—SVC understand that the Lord
Advocate is about to bring a Bill into Parliament for the
regulation of steam vessels. It is, we believe, proposed
to be enacted that all such vessels shall be provided with a
license, the powers of granting which, and following out
the provisions of the Act, are to be vested in a body po-
litic., Of the necessity of some such enactment we have
hail the most melancholy testimony, and we have little
doubt, from the deliberation the subject has undergone
and will yet receive, the Bill will embrace the most ample
security for the persons and property of all who may hence-
forth avail themselves of that excellent, and what, under
proper management, must still be considered safe mode of
con veyarice.—Etliallurgh Star.
Pidding and Co. cannot but regret that the Six 20,0001.
Prizes, &c. &c. to be drawn let of March, will positively be the
last opportunity but two of gaining a Fortune by the risk of a
trifle, more especially An it has fallen to their lot to sell so many
Capital Prizes, including two of 25.000/. last Autumn ; also the
very last Prize of 2(1,0001. of which the public had every Share.
The discontinuance of Lotteries after these concluding drawings
has been expressly provided fur by a new clause in the last Act ;
therefore. ere this short period expires, most persons will give
themselves the chance of a Ticket o Share; and the impression
left by the marvellous success of the Lucky Corner, No. I, Corn.
