PHoNoGRAPHY.-A course Of lessons in Phono
graphy, for Compositors, will be commenced by
Mr. T. c. Leland, on Thursday evening next, at
| bis rooms, POS Broadway, over Brady's Gallery.
This movement is q revival Of an old project, and
ia a praiseworthy enterprise. 1t is hoped that
the opportunity will not be disregarded by those
who desire to make themselves profcients in
the art of reading Photographic notes. The ad
vantages of the plan are obvious to all.
r. Out OF the whole number of deaths re-
ported by the City Inspector for the past week,
more than one.tenth took place among the immi.
grants at Wards Island.
The LOTTERY TRAFFIc.-Last week the Police
made descent upon gang Of men engaged in car
rying on a species Of lottery business in the Bow
cry The store in which these men carried on their
illegal business, was thoroughly overhauled, the
contents taken possession Of by the Police and
the men themselves placed in custody. We do
not know what incentive the Police had for their
action in this case, but the act itself one for

awarded to them. But in awarding credit for
these arrests. might we be permitted to call the
attention of the Chief of Police to the gross and
open violations of the law against lotteries which
are going on almost within sight of his Office
windows. Within the circuit of ten blocks Of the
place where he sits enthroned, we are positive
that it would not require very sharp sight to
discover dozen places where lottery tickets are
daily and hourly sold-places where not only lot
terry tickets are sold, but where a more infamous
and swindling species of gambling is carried on
the selling of policies-where the dupe who buys
them stards about one chance in ten thousand Of
getting back bis money. Come, come Mr.. Chief
take tour among these downtow gentry, and
do not confne your attentions exclusively to the
furniture spectators Of the Bowery.
