Italy, however, is afllictesd with another plague, even more destructive than that of connterh iting, more tremendous in its evil results, aud which invades every department and every class. The Gov¬ ernment itself regulates the lotteries, with the idea, probably, of limiting what could not be avoided, and profiting by it.
