‘Now,’ said the tailor good-naturedly,
et me give thee a piece of advice. fWhen
next thou hast occasion to get a suit of
clothes, thou had better not attempt to
cheat the poor tailor, but pay him honest-
]y,:for then will thy conscience not dis-
turb thee and thy sleep will be sweet and
refreshing. Farewell!’

You’ve got no office to spare, then, have

There was an arrest on Friday the 8th
of four persons, charged with the robbery
of the Pough|<_eepsie Barge, some‘ time
since of $34,000 Very shortly after the
robbery, suspicions were directed to a
well known and organized body of bank
robbers, and one of their number. Park-
inson, was narrowly watched for several
week s. During the last week, he was’
known to change three or four of the sto-
len notes, and on Friday afternoon he was
arrested. Through him, the residence of
James Smith was discovered, and thither
Justice Taylor and the officers repaired.
They found Smith,with two notorious cou-
federates at a dinner table, quietly sipping
their wine over a desert of rich pastry and
fine old cheese; but at the appearance of
the Police, the trio rushed from the room
in various directions, and when pursued,
offered most desperate resistance ere they
were captured. Smith’s daughter rushed
upon the officers with a carving knife, but
was disarmed. James Miller, alias ‘Cupid’
was only secured after a very severe con-
test. Davis slipped up stairs to a bed-room
followed by Westerfield who observed him
stuffing something between the beds‘,whicli
proved to be a roll of bills,and about $300
were found upon him. Friday night was
passed in searching Smith’s house, lint no
clue was found. On Saturday the officers
went to Parkinson's farm in \Voodbridge,
N. J. where they obtained . 9.25 of the
identified money, and Mrs. P. also inform-
ed them where she had changed a
$100 note and two $505. Yesterday mor-
ning in a shop in the rear of No. [18 VVil-
liam street,occupied by Parkinson as a car-
ver and gilder, they found $2,300. T his
makes up about $3000, already brought to
light, while a clue is obtained to several
thousands beside.
Smith was convicted many years ago of
robbing the City Bank, and about six years
since he was sent to the Massacliusets
State Prison for picking a pokct at a rail
road Depot in Boston. Miller was indict-
ed on the 12th of April, 1844-, for a grand
larceny, and released upon straw bail.—
Parkinson owns a beautiful farm at '\Vood-
bridge, N. J. and a house very richly fur-
nished—Smith’s cottage too, is luxurious-
ly applianced, and his cellar and larder
stocked with the choicest dele. acies. -

Island railroad, on Saturday of last week,
with a young woman whom he represented
to be his wife. They put up at the house
of Capt. Clark, where they remaircd, "5
man and wife, until Monday. 'Iliey were
then visited by three gentlemen, relatives
of the young lady from New York, with
an officer, and taken back by the afternoon

In relation to the conjugal lmifing case pub-
lished last Weelr, there seems to have been some
errors and mistatements. Astory coming from
the New York Sun, where we believe, this orig.-
inated, must of course have no lack ofseasoning.
For the marvelous, astounding or petrifying, the
Sun can boast an elevation which none ofits co-
iemporaries could ever desire or hope to reach.
The facts in the present case as vouched for by
the Tribune will be found sufficiently startling.
They follow : .
“An English imparting merchant ofthis
city has been in theliabit of visiting Eng-
land in the prosecution ofhis business and
leaving his family, (a lovely and accom
plislied wife of 30 and a daugliter of 1-I-,)
under the protection of two young gentle-
men, also in mercantile business, and bolh
long established friends oftlie parties con-
cerned. Last spring the father repaired
as usual to England, and the two friends
established themselves, in obedience to his
standing invitation, in his liouso at Staten
Island.
Shortly after another friend of the fami-
ly wrote to the merchant in England to
the effect that one of the young men with
whom he had entrusted his family was
playing him false. He immediately wrote
.to his family that he sho-.:ld return home
in the Great V.’cstern_, and got on board of
the Boston steamer and thus anticipated
his arrival by several days. He found his
wife with her relatives in New-Bedford, in
company with her daughter, and brought
tlierii all on to No "I York——hurried down
to Staten Isl-.ind—found the suspected
friend there q iietly waiting for them, and
drawing a dagger, stabbed him in the
breast. He then stuck his wife with the
dagger, but did not wound her dangerous-
ly. He was at length secured, in a state
ofinsanity, and sent to the Asylum,wliere
he remained until S-'-unday, while his wife
and daughter returned to New B«;dford.—
The unhappy man has now recovered his
reason, and has cause to believe that his
wife was entirely innocent! The young
man’s condition is a perilous one, although
he may survive the wound.
Look outfor Poe's-rnrd C/."e.r.r.——lt is well
known that nearly halfa million dollars
worth of tea was in one of the buildings
on Broadway destroyed by the late great
fire. Tea is known to be an incombusti-
ble substance, at least it has proved so in
the present instance. Thousands ofhoxes
were crusliecl and broken with the fall of
the building, and we perceive that tea (it
is black) is now being shovclled together
and packed in large rough board boxes, as
ifit were intended to he sold (ind used.
Now, it is well known that there is an in-
side covering ofsheet lea-:l to the boxes to
which this article is imported, and that
lead, if subjected to the action of any
acid, decomposes and at once becomes a
deadly poison. Ifhy any chance this im-
ion of acids and lead took place, in the

Taylor has advanced to Corpus Christi
with his infantry, and perhaps ‘penetrated
the country further from the gulf coast ;
and that colonel 'l‘wiggs,with his dragoons
has advanced through Austin, further west
to the vicinity perhaps of the Alamo.
Instead of wi'.lidrawing our troops from
the territory they may occupy, we should
not be suiprised to see more extensive
precautionary arrangements made for call-
ing upon the l‘exans themselves if neces-
sary, to co-r-pcra‘e with our regular troops

CANADA THISTLES
Daniel Wilson, of Covington, Genesse
co , N. Y. had a patch of Canada thist’es
so dense that the roots formed :1 complete
mat. “He ploughed the groundat regular
intervals of four weeks for four successive
times, when after the fourth plowing,
there was not a thistle to be seen, and tie
ground was in fine tilth for sowing wheat,
loose and nice enough for any garden veg-
etables; and now, July, 1833, there is a
most luxuriant crop on the old thistle-bed,
and not a solitary thistle has been found,
altlion_g_h it has been carefully examined by
those interested in testing its efficacy.”
The Secretary of the Treasury, R. J.
VVal or, has written to the collector ofthe
customs in New York stating that “in con-
sideration of the peculiar circumstances
arising out of the recent calamitous fiie,
causing the loss to many mercliants of a
large amount of merclzandise, it is deemed
expedient to authorize the suspension of

ble to be sold to realize the duties, for a

Tom: MEETING.——A special meeting of the"
citizens of Norwalk, was held at the Town Hall
on Saturday last,—the objects of Which, appear-
9510 be. to dispose of certain portions of the
‘public domain,’ and act upon a petition for per-
mission to grade the east and west road, running‘
across the foot of Mullen Hill, from the Connec-
ticut Hotel, to the old Thatcher place, on Gibbs’
Lane. I -
The first petitioner was Henry Holmes, Jr".
(colored) to purchase a lot on the west bank of’
the harbor,near.the house now occupied by him;
A vote was passed instructing the select men to‘
effect a sale of the same.

'We have learned from some ofihe petitioners
who have taken this thing in hand, that the in-

a level with the turnpike. and to remove the
buildings and projections which have from time

of buildings now occupied by J. S. Meeker 8;
Son, and others. If this is indeed the honest in-
tention ofihe petitioners, which we have no rea-
son to doubt, the effect will be to leave these
buildings completely isolated between two roads,
and placing them in a position that will be, to
say the least, ireryijinsightly, if not very precari-
ous. The ultimatum ofthe matter will be, their
removal.
It is to be hoped, that in this case those who
are unable to lose the places they occupy, may
be in some way indeninificd. This considera-
tion is the only one that we wot of, in the way
ofa hearty wish, for the completicn of the work
in the light we have viewed it.
The vote,it will be seen, is unrestricted, un-
limited and general. The petitioners have the
fullest power they have asked for. A prudent

“endorsingilielseeming’malice 0 rue N. Yorla
Express against Mr. G-reely of the Tribune.”--
About the ‘seeming’ or actual malice of the Ex-
press, we know nothing farther than the asser-
tion efthe Tribune. For auglil that appears,we
are bound to act upon the presumption that the
motives ofthe Express, in exposing the Tribune,
are honorable and pure; and as to the matter of
endorsing its sentiments, when so considered, in
the present case, we regret the necessity for so
doing, as much as our friend of the Palladium.
And we regret too,to see the Palladium jumping
at wholesale conclusions which elevate Mr. Gree-
-ley as a model ofmoral puriiy—cndorsing him to-
Ilie full extent, hating “some peculiar views in
to ‘human progres- ’ ”—-and which
implicate the express in the charge of malice and
fu"se/road. VVe, l)t)W(." er, have no objection to
this ifthe Palladium sees fit to adopt such a
course. \V.e differ liom the Palladium, arid’
commend the course of the Expre-ss,not from any
sudden impulse of feeling, but from a conviction-
delibcrately formed,and strcngiliened by evidence
drawn from the columns of the Tribune, that
that paper was pursuing a course that was not in
strict fidelity to the interests of society, ifindeed
itcould he looked upon as honest, towards its
,readers. So believing we were induced, at the
present juncture, to allude to the matter. What
fiwe said,..wt2 thought was denianded,and perhaps
‘all tliatat present was demanded. Ifhowever,we
are required to fortify or give the grounds, ofour
lviews, we may be induced to do so. Instead of
; these things being false “as every reader of the-
lTribune knows”as asserted by the Pal. they are

A most foul murder was committed, a
few miles from \Vesl: Poin‘, in this county
on Saturday last. A Mr. Bogg, an old of-
fender against the laws of the land, had

of electing Commissioners by the sev al
towns, who will grant no lisenses.
Mr. Custis relates that Vvasliington,
having once received an invitation to visit
a public place, was favored with a guard‘
of soldiers, who were designed to escort‘
violation in a public servant as being the
worst of evils, and that his course in re-
gard to this question, first disapproving it
lby a speech, and then recording his vote
in favor of it, tends to destroy and lessen
