We derive the following particulars Of the ar
rest of Thomas Glew, alias Seymour, alias Scott,
from the Columbia &c., Enquirer, of the 18th
instant.
"Thomas Glew,a Clerk in the Banking House
of Roberts, Curtis s. Co. Of London, who embeZ-
zled funds to the amount of three thousand and
six hundred pounds in notes on the Bank OF Eng
land, and fled from London in September last,
was apprehended in this town on Sunday the llth
inst. and three thousand three hundred and ten
mounds recovered. The circumstances leading
TO the detection are these: Glew came to Colum-
bus about a fortnight previous 10 his arrest, un.
der the assumed name of Thomas Scott, and
stopped at the Hotel of Messrs Pomroy Mon.
tague. A few days after his arrival he offered
TO the proprietors of the house in which he lodg-
ed. Bank Of England note for one hundred
mounds. with request that they would get II
exchanged, as his American funds were nearly
exhausted. Glew offered the note for four hun
dred dollars, which induced Messrs. Pomroy q
Montague to believe either that the note was not
genuine, or that Glew obtained it frauduently.
Without revealing their suspicious, Messrs. T.
g. NJ. requested Glew to enclose the note in a
letter to a gentleman IN Mobile. whom they nam
ed, and to which letter they added postscript
desiring the exchange Of the note. On the re-
ceptlon Of the note at Mobile. II was exhibited to
Mr.. Baker, the British Consul resident there,
who identified it by its number as one OF the
notes stolen from Roberts, Curtis q Go. OF Lon
don The Consul, in company with the gentle
man who exhibited the note to him. Immediately
left Mobile. and arrived here on the 9th inst
Glpw was then absent on hunting excursion,
but returned on Sunday the 18th, when ne was
appreheuded. The original amount was reco.
vered with the exception OF two hundred and
ninety pounds Glew stated that he offered one
hundred pounds in Charleston for exchange, but
fearing detection fed and left the note. which
statement is cUrr0Gorated, by an article IN late
Charleston paper. Only one hundred and nlne-
" pounds remains to be accounted for, which
| sum was doubtless expended BY Glew IN reach
| ing the u. States and procuring his subsistence
since his elopement. Glew was released. and
| has left town. A reward of twenty-five or three
hundred dollars was offered some time since by
Fish, Grinnell & Co. of New York, for the re-
covery of the money. Messrs. Pomroy & Mon
taeue, and the gentleman in Mobile, to whom
the note was forwarded for exchange. will OBJ
tain the reward and, we hope, in such proper
ton as is justified by their several exertions IN
securing the apprehension of Glew.
In no journal OF the country was Mr. Adams
more disparaged, derided and abused than in the
Richmond Enquirer. 1t is amusing to find now,
in tina, paper, such editorial language as the an
nexed.

Will Mr.. Adams prove himself that pa{rio!-
Will he, as his father did, in the times that tried

We fear he cannot"
