ARREST OF SAUNDERS.

Henry Saunders, the young man who commit
led various forgeries on different Banks in New
York by checks in the name of Austen, Wilmer
ding 81 Go, was arrested last Wednesday after
noon in the city of Boston, where he had been
solourning since the preceding Saturday. His
plan had been TO leave the country in the steamer
Great Western, but, arriving at The wharf (at New
ork) just after she left he followed her foI some
distance in small boat, until becoming discou-
ragged he turned back and took the boa, for Alba
ny, and from thence proceeded to Boston over the
Western Railroad. lie was arrested on board the
ship -Choo, in which vessel he had engaqed a
passage to New Orleans, but had been detained a
day or two on account of contrary winds. He
did not deny his identity, but offered to give up
81 500 of The money. The rest (Which he stated
at $24O00) he said that he could not give up,
and that he had taken care of it so that no one
would get It back. He supposed, he said, that
nc should have to go to prison for ten or fifteen
years, but seemed to look at that coolly as an
easy means OF earning the $4,000. He had laid
In for the voyage box of wine, demiion of
brandy, and one of gin, and this, with the trunk
which he purchased in New York, with its con-
tents, and the s 800 spoken of above, constituted
all that was found TO show for the sum which he
obtained.
later account says that Saunders, on being
arraigned for examination on Thursday, disclosed
where the remainder of the money mpht be
found, all in bills of the several banks which
cashed the forged paper of his employers. This
youth is notquite seventeen years old He de-
MES positively having had any accomplce in his
crime. The whole Of the money has since been
recovered.

A writer in the Broome County Republican,

Mr.. Lewis Tappan. II is well known that Mr..
Tappan is engaged in ascertaining the standing,
character, and circumstances of merchants in va
rious parts of the county. This information he
sells, or more properly speaking, he imparts this
knowledge to his customers, who are merchants
OF this city, for certain compensation One OBJ
>Ject among others of this new business is, that
when one of our mercantile establishments is APP
Piled to for credit from any person at distance,
such merchant can, by applying to Mr.. Iappan,
md out whether the applicant is good, bad, or in
different. The writer above alluded to is very Sc
we're on Mr.. Tappan and his system, and he
charges that very improper means are resorted to,
TO obtain information.
The business that MIR. Tappan has engaged in,
is not only new, but is one that requires great
skill and Judgment. He has it in his power TO
greatly benefit distant merchant by giving him
a good character, and he may blast his reputation
by giving him one of a contrary description 1t
is pursuit that few men are capable of manag-
ing, and fewer yet would from choice engage in
it.-N. Y. Express
