Dedication Of the County 1rtasWer-Hs Sureties-
Recipients ollie distracted Money. &c &c.
There was another grand defalcation here yesterday
much ofthe character Of that Of Lloyd, recently in your
city-though, from what l can learn, of larger amount.
The distractions" is the whig County Treasurer, Jo-
seph Plankinton Esq BE was elected at the last cleo.
ton, and was almost the only wing who received a ma.
jority Of the City and County vote. He had for several
years occupied the post ofChief Clerk in the Treasurer's
Office, and was generally esteemed an amiable, discreet
man. 1t is not supposed that he has reaped much profit
from the deficit, which is variously estimated at from six
ty to one hundred thousands dollars. He was formerly
in the dry goods business and failed.
This amount of loss was incurred, II 10 said, by MI
Plankintons bad investments in shaving operations
The large premiums offered or.money during the recen,
pressure were too tempting, and, at the instance Of one
Of his sureties, it is said. he made use Of the ~county's
funds to shave upon. The sureties are the somewha,
Geo, W. South. and Messrs.. Weigand and snowden
South has for some years made a business Of standing
security for sheriff. and treasurers and a share OF
the profits arising from such use Of the money ss
this is supposed to have been the consideration.
Messrs. Weigand and Snowden, are cutters in
Sixth street above Market, and are reported to
bsImederately wealthy. Weigand has been a member OF
the City Councils. South was the surety on account OF
the Treasurer's liability to the Stato-the other two gen
tlemen on account of his liability to the county. South
Is engaged in no business, without perhaps that oil" lum.
ber;" he too, has the reputation of possessing c%onsidera.
BILE wealth.
There has been much feeling evinced on the subject
to-day, and the belief is that the loss to the county is
considerably larger than was last evening supposed. |
havehesrd It stated that the clear loss over and above the
sum covered by security, would reach sixty or seventy
thousand dollars. Among other names that l heard
mentioned as having enjoyed the benefits Of this loss, is
that of Matthew Newkirk. and a Mrs. Fraley. Col.
Page, late Postmaster, Immediately after Plankinton's re.
signstion yesterday, was elected Treasurer by the Coun.
ty Commissioners. Plankinton is to-day, | am informed
confined to his bed by indisp osition.
The theatrical benefit last night at the Arch street
theatre, to aid the cause Of Texas, yielded l understand
weather, is more than | expected.
The business in stocks to-day was light, without
change in prices.

MEXICAN ARMY.-We find in one of onr Cam.
peachy papers Of the 18Th ult, a statement of the
force ofthe Mexican Army, that had Just been re.
ceived by an arrival from Vera Cruz The force
actually on foot. land mounted, was upwards Of 40.
600 men and although not thoroughly disciplined
at the time, there was no doubt it would soon be.
come nearly perfect, from the unusual ~exertions and
activity displayed by the officers TO effect tina, OBJ.
ject. The army was then stationed thus:-2,6O0 in
Xalspa; 1900 in Perotc /; 1000 in Puebla; 500 in
Vera Cruz 1900 in Ulta $4,000 in the capital, and
the remainder at various points. No mention is
made of probable movement of this amy upon
Texas; and, indeed, il is believed few of them can
safety be spared from their present locations. D
lhe papers state that a great struggle is prepar.
ing Tor the next Mexican presidency, the candi.
dates being Santa Anna, Valencia and Paroles, and
WIN every probability that the former will succeed.

The new mail arrangement, of which | made mention

tween here and Washington. The mails from Philsdel.

The Naval Court Martial is sill in session at Barnum's,
Hotel. The trials OF Lieut.. Gordon, Captain Clark and
Captain Levy have been disposed Of, and the decision iii
each case, as | am informed, sent on to Washington,
though not made known here. This apprehends tina the
findings Of the Court will be rigid if not severe. Lieu
tenant Adams and Captain Latimer, are next to be
brought up under charges.
In consequence Of the decease Of the little son of Cap.
tain Turner, Of which | made mention a day or two
since, as having been killed by a dray running over il,
tkat officer has been released from further service on
the court, and another has been nominated to take his
place. The court is waiting his arrival. The defence
Of Captain Levy was made IN an able and eloquent man.
ner by Judge Noah, of New York. The judge acquitted
himself in a mastery style. There is some fun in hear.
ing the testimony in these cases, especially in that case
where six parrot feathers were used, and q little tar.
The western mail was detained some four hours yes
terday, in consequence of the locomotive attached to
the tram Of cars between this city and Frederick, when
on their way to Baltimore, ceming in contact with a
horse, which was run over ana killed. Inc lOcomo'
tive and two of the cars we're thrown of the track. No
serious injury sustained.

where she was anchored, on Sunday last, for Bermuda.
