extract from Reynoldss letter respecting alleged

The RECENT DEFALCATIoN IN THE OFFICE OF
MARSHAL OF THIS DIsTRIcT.-The very elaborate
opinion Of Justice Belts in this case which involves
the financial character of MIR. Moore, the Marshal.
and that of Mr. Peck, his deputy, in a serious de-
iacation, exhibits melancholy spectacle of the
morals of public officers, which, we fear. prevails
to a great extent in other departments connected
with the general government, throughout the conn.

dollars was found on board of the bark Laurens

The TRIAL OF SHUSTER, ALIAS HAND, FOR STEAL
ING THK GOVERNMENT JEWELS AT WASHINGTON, is
going on for the second time. The whereabouts of
Jim Webb, that wonderful genius and associate of
Hand, has also been ascertained. 1t seems, that
this worthy has been arrested on an affidavit made
by Mr.. George Wilkes, sort Of amateur thief
catcher from this city, who has been boastlng for
many months of the perfect knowledge which he
had of all the mysterious agency of these chaps in
plunderng the Patent Office. Why, then, did not
Mr.. Wilkes secure the arrest of these fellows be-
forel Why this delay, We understand, that
connected with Mr.. Wilkes IN this curious anna
teur thlei-catching business, is a certain genius
VINO reoices in the name of " Marcus Tullius CT
cero Stanlcy,"-a genius more expert than half
the police OF New York, and certainly worth more
than two-thlrds of the criminal authorities of
Washington. AS there is a probability that Shus-
ter will be convicted, if the jury will believe the
witnesses and the fresh evidence BROUGHT apapst
him, we that hope there is an equally good chance
to have Jim Webb tried, and that we will have nm
the witness stand against him, Mr. George
IN order that we may know what mysterious know
ledge they possess they say they do in this mat
ter, not yet given to the public. Let us know the
whole explanation of these mysterious givings-out.
If these amateurs knew that Hand and Webb were
the burglars, why did they not catch them long
ago and why, after Webb was caught. was he let
loose again, and only now re-taken and put in the
hands Of Justice There is something very green
about all this business
