LOTTERY NOTICE.

THE SUBSCRIBER, having notified the pub
Il lie, that he shall keep tickets usual, but
shall in future avoid that fulsome parade of ad-
vertsement, which, although in constant prac-
tice, is nevertheless an insult upon the sense OF
the community, still hopes to share no less large
ly in the favours Of FORTUNE and the PAT
RONAGE OF THE. PUBLIC, than in times past
He considers, that by the general adoption Of
such rule, the papers may, besides communi-
eating all necessary information on the subject
of Lotteries, contain much useful matter which
is now excluded, in order to give place to puff
ing and nonsense. Such therefore IS the course
which he is determined to adopt in future, and
cannot but hope that others will do the same.

HorTid .Murdsr--There are three things
which we cannot abide, via horrid muir
der, a circumstantial account OF it, and an in
tolerably long bistors Of the trial and convic-
ton Of the guilty. How it is that persons OF
intelligence, taste and judgment, can sit
down patiently TO tue perussl of column af-
ter column, Of most foul and horrld nqUr-
der, unless il occurred in the immediate vi
cinity, is to US incomprehensible. If any of
our readers accuse US Of remssness in not ser
wing up more murders and crimes Of various
descriptions, we hope to be excused when we
confess, that all such details being to us
stale, fat and Improbable" are passed over
with single glance at the caption, merely
to ascertain whether the occurrence was
within hundred miles, or if the republication
of the details would in any way answer the
ends Of justice. The late Eng hsh papers have
been deluged with the particslars of the muir
der Of Mr.. Weare, and the apprehension
and conviction Of his murderers. We have
said nothing about it, for we know nothing a
bout il but conclude il was one of the most
fruitful murders for filling newspapers, that
was ever got up.

one Of the squares of Bagdad, just at the moment
when slave dealer, surrounded by number Of Gu
r.ous persons, Offering his stock for sale fe-
male slave of extraordinary beauty, of majestic sta
ture and elegant shape, attracted general notice =
Ademtai himself could not turn his eyes from her
Fer tie first time, he felt the power Of love; much
the more painful was his anxiety when he beheld
young man, in sumptuous apparel, approach the
trader to treat for the fair one who had captvated
his heart. The damsel was obliged to unveil,
and Ademlai beheld such celestial charms that he
stood like marble statue, petrifed with astonish-
ment. The statement of the slave merchant brought
him to himself This lovely creature said he,
is Georgian she is scarcely eighteen, plays
quisitey on the lutte. has an enchanting voice, and
dances with such grace that it would be difficult to
find her equal The price demand for her is 1000
gold dinars.' Ademdai's rival hereupon offered ff
teen hundred-Ademdait rembled. The dealer
iected the offer Ademdai breathed more freely
The young man babe eighteen hundred-the owner
consldered-the perspmation of fear covered the
brow OF Ademdai but the merchant would not
ahate bis price, and the customer, less enamoured
than Ademdai, renowned the possession of the
beautiful captive, and withdrew. The slave mer-
chant also quilted the square, without disposng of
the fair Georgian. Ademdai hurried home. It was
the day on which he expected his Genius, and he
had never yet awaited his visit with such Impotence
At length knock was heard he flew to the door,
and threw himself at the feet of his benefactor.-
What ais thee ? asked the latter 'whv art thou
so detected What even in tears Have not
supplied all thy wants a." 'Indeed answered Adem-
dai, { thou hast bestowed on me much more than
deserve, but vet not all that want. Tell me, would
a wife be superfuous to me Must be doomed
to lead solitary life without creature that can
call my own If thou deemest the possession of
wife a superAuity then it is evident that what is
superAuous may at the same time be absolutely ne
cessary.' The Genius could scarcely refrain from
laughing outright. 'Ademdai,' said he, "a wife
may, as thou sayest be absolutely necessary to thee
Thou must procure one. Choose the daughter Of
some honest mechanic of thy acquaintance can
not object to such match. Thy house is rebuilt
and well furnished and with these, added to thy
personal lamentations, thou needest not appre-
bend refusal from girl of thine own condition.
All cried Ademda heaving profound sigh
that is not what want | am already in love =
and when man is in love, is it not necessary for
him to possess the object on which he has set his
affections ? 'Nery necessary replied the Genius
Well then, thou wilt surely make me the happiest
Of mortals for thou hast promised to supply all my
wants, love young slave, love her to madness :;
never did | behold such beauty but the price de-
