THE FIFE CA ust----The Petition of the Noble
Pursuer to the Court of Session, to apply the
judgment douse Peers, was moved in
the
Second
of the o
Division
on
Tuesday seinnight. It
was remarked on the Bench that the duty of the
Court was in this ease clearly defined :—A cer-
tain issue had been sent down by the House of
Lords for trial, which their Lordships must remit
to the Jury Court for determination, in strict
conformity to the terns in which it is conceived
in the judgment. The Court accordingly di-
prepared for its approval.

fortune, and while on his death-bed at Calcutta made a will,
bequeathing the whole of his property in favour of his relation.
The will was sent home, properly sealed by eight or ten differ-
ent executors, whose names are attached to it. Inquiry was
made after urns in the north of Ireland, where it was ascer-
tained that ha long before had gone to Scotland. A messenger
was immediately dispatched from Dublin to this city, and care-
ful inquiry was made among the various kinds of labourers till
he was at length traced out a few days ago, and the good news
imparted to him. lie was furnished with the copy of his
uncle's will, appointing him sole heir to his immense property,
amounting to one hundred and ninety thousand pounds in cash,
several valuable estates, five merchant vessels at sea, besides
an inventory of furniture of the •richest and most costly de-
scription : among other articles are a gold table, the length and
breadth, aed superficial dimensions of which are stated, a
bed4tead mounted with gold, a pair of slippers with gold
buckles, two carriages finely mounted with silver, and various
other articles equally splendid:- Mf. Burns is about 40 years
of age, is married, but without children. None of the money
or effects have yet arrived, as the will was sent before the
merchant was dead, but accounts of his decase, and the ar-
rival of the effects are daily expected. Mr. Burns, in the
mean time, has never ceased asingle day from his employ-
Inuit, and is much less elated on the subject than might have
hem expected. He regularly carries home in the evening his
usual bundle of sticks under his arm for fuel.

It has not escaped observation that when the
Minister brought forward his Budget, no allu-
sion was made to the Lottery, so that Govern-
ment firmly adhere to the determination ex-
pressed last Session, that. they should not apply
to Parliament for another Bill : the knowledge
of this fact proves propitious to Mr. SIVEWRIGHT,
who took this Last Contract, though the FJTE
e 20,000 Prizes in the Wheel, Two for NE2cr
WEDNESDAY, 17th March, would at all times
prove attractive; but the influence of the above
is indescribable, it has caused such a scramble
for Whole Tickets that there is not one left, it
causes now such a demand for Halves that they
must soon be all gone, then there will be a
scramble fcr the Quarters and smaller Shares, for
all who are aware how short a time the Lottery
has to live, unanimously resolve to be " in al the
Death."
