Tess to have the most accurate and reliable IN
formation on all matters touching the Gambling
interest in this City, allow me to correct small
mistake made yesterday In your notice OF the
sailing of the Lottery and Policy Missionary to
London. The individual vino sailed yesterday to

his situation and made an arrangement with
some OF the principal Lottery dealers In this city
for the sale of tickets in London. He bears no
aIetters TO the kaJttu6s of Crockford's, because
he needs none to insure his entrance into that OLD
gaming house, being personally acquainted Win
some of the hoods who resort to 1t. Ihat ne VIII
be successful in his mission we have little doubt;
and hence the more necessity for vigorous efforts
in attempting to suppress the drawing OF Lot
teries in this country.
