RECOVERY OF THE GOVERNMENT JEwKLs-
The N. Y. True Sun of the 9Th gives the following
account of the recovery of the Government Jewels.
Officer A. M. C. Smith, while in Washington.
day before yesterday, ascertained that Henry B.
Jones, of this city, or his brother, Philander was
IN some way connected with the robbery Of tho
Government jewels. He Immediately returned to
this city, and after consulting with Judge McGrath
and Capt. Magness, of the Sixth Ward, upon the
subject, it resolved to arrest the above named
individuals, as being concerned in the matter. The
officers accordingly went TO the residence of Henry
B. JONES' at No. ii Pike street, and took them into
custody, and conducted them to the Lower Police
Court. After charging them directly with the
offence, Henry said he would give them up If they
would go with him to his house. On arriving there
he particularly DESTROYS of speaking privately
to his wife, with view of communicating to her
the position in which he stood in the matter but
the before mentioned old and efficient officers were
not to be deceived in this way, and refnsed tho
private interview desired. Whereupon Jones told
them, that he had only been hoaxing them and
that he had merely brought them there to obtain
for himself an opportunity to speak to his wife, and
he knew nothing about their jewels. The officers
told him that there was no hoax about them, and
they would show him joke which perhaps would
not be quite so agreeable, and reconducted him to
prison. After being short time in :" durance
vile y he concluded to own up,' TO Mr.. Stewart,
the clerk, and give up the JEWELS and consented to
go with him and show him where they were
concealed.
On arriving at the house, 12l diamonds of vaFi-
Gus sizes, l43 PEARLS. together with three pounds of
gold, in bars, were found buried in the cellar. Ono
large bottle of ottar of rose, containing nearly
quart, was also found. The original bottle had,
however, been substituted by the one found. The
scabbard of the sword which had been presented
to Com. Biddle by 1--WE believe) the Emperor Of
Russia, and a gold snuff box presented by the EN-
peror'of Morocco, had been melted downinto bars.
The settings of the diamonds and the pearls had
been removed and deposited in I'm box The
Grand Jury of Washington City have indicted
Tom Hand as the individual who got possession Of
the jewels, and it is believed that Henry B. Jones
proceeded to Washington and brought on the
jewels to New York He recently commenced q
suit against George Wilkes for having slated that
he was implicated in the robbery, and in the course
of the present week the Grand Jury would proba-
bly, have found an Indictment against him for SLAM
der, which has been completely done away with
by the arrest Of Jones and the recovery of the pro-
perty. Singular it may appear, the gold and
diamonds were found wrapped up in copy Of the
New York Police Gezetfe.
