We learn from correct sources, that the lotteries referred to are publicly drawn, under the super- intendence of thrée commissioners, at the Indian Queen Hotel, in the city of Wilmington, in a room adjoining and leadirg from the bar room, in the presence of as many spectators as may feel disposed to be present. Since the establish- | ment of the magnetic telegraph, the “pigeon | policy players,” as they are called, in several in- stances, secured possession of the telegraph im- mediately after the first drawn number was taken from the wheel, and thus held possession for some time after the whole drawing was completed, to and to give the managers the same chance that others obtained, the agent at Wilmington, pre- vious to several drawings, gave notice that any person could enter the room, but that the doors | would not be opened to let any one out after the drawing had been commenced, until it was com- pleted. This operation, it appears, gave rise tothe im- continued by the managers, and has not since been repeated. In relation to the appointment of commission- ers to actin the case of death, sickness, or ab- sence of the three selected for that office, the power rests with the managers, who are held in bonds, to alarge amount, for the{faithful and cor- rect performance of all the duties devolving upon them by their charter. In regard to two erro- neous numbers having been sent by the writers of the telegraph, it is also proper to add, that the managers alone were the sufferers, as to avoid dispute they were compelled to pay all tickets having on them either of the numbers, and did in | both these instances pay them, to a large amount, However much we muy be hostile to the lottery | system in point ef principle, our intention is not to make erroneous charges against the manage ment in other States, and we, therefore, have felt Theatrical.
