IN consequence, but like many others Of the same
class, managed to walk out of the Tombs before
he took his trial. He was, however, recaptured
few days since in Brooklyn, and has at length con-
fessed his guilt, (of which there was not shadow
OF doubt,) and consented to point out the place
where his share of the stolen property was con.
cealed. Accordingly, on Tuesday, he was placed
in a carriage with two of the deputy keepers, and
taken to his house in Adams street, Brooklyn,
where ne procured the key Of the house in which
he was arrested, and taking the officers into the

NEw SPECIES OF LlBEL-One Of our cores
pondents stated some time since that Mr.. Barrett,
the Collector OF New Orleans, had voted the Clay
ticket. Mr. Tyler's organ In that city declares this
to be atrocious "lbel." Thisis certainly funny
idea, worthy Of Tyler organ The cream of the
joke is that Mr.. Barrett himself comes out and de-
cares that he voted for Mr. Polk, and not for Mr..
Clay. Well, really, after all, we cannot see how
voting for Mr. Clay, even in his fall, can be made
out to be such terrible delinquency that to accuse
a man Of doing 30 is an atrocious "libel."

result is the same with lead and many other pois.
ons, If an interval ofthree or four days has clans.
