RECOVERY OF THE GOVERN MENT
JEWELS

Officer A. M Smith, while in Washington day
before yesterday, ascertained Henry T. Jones of
this city, or his brother Philander. was in some
way connected with the stealing of the Govern
ment Jewels He Immediately returned. and at
ter consulting with Justice McGrath and Can't.
Magnns OF the Sixth Ward, upon the subject, it
was resolved TO arrest the above named indiyidu.
ais as being concerned in the matter. The off.
GERS accordingly went to the residence OF Henry
b. Jones, at ii Pike-st. and took them into ems
tody. After charging them directly with the Of
tense, Henry said he would give them up il thew
would go with him TO his house. Ga arriving
there he was particularly DESTROYS to speak priv
ately to his wife, with view, as he said, of com.
muncatng to her the position in which he stood
in the matter. But the officers were not to be
deceived in this way and refused the private in
terview. Whereupon Jones told them at once
that he had only been hoaxing them and that he
had merely brought them there to obtain for him.
sell 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 agreeable, and reconducted him
to prison.
Alter being short time in durance vile, he
concluded to own up TO Mr.. Stewart, the Clerk,
and give up the jewels, and consented to show
him where they were concealed On arriving at
pearls, together with three pounds of Gold in
bars, were found buried IN the cellar. One large
bottle OF Ottar of Rose, containing nearly quart.
was also found The original bottle had been
substituted by the one found. The Scabbard of
the Sword which had been presented to Commo-
dore Biddle by the Emperor of Russia and gold
Snuff Box presented by the Emperor of Morocco,
had been melted down into bars. The settings
ofthe diamonds and pearls had been removed and
deposited in tin box.
The Grand Jury OF Washington have indicted
Tom Hand as the individual who stole the Jewels
and 1T is believed that Henry B. Jones proceeded
to Washington and brought on the ewels to New
York. He recently commenced a suit against
George Wilkes for having stated til at he was i'm
plcated in the robbery, aud in the course OF the
present week The Grand Jury would probably
have found an indictment against him for SANDER
which has been completely done aw ay with the
arrest OF Jones and the recovery of the property.

formation respecting cotton and wooden goods,
which will be interesting to the manufacturers
IN this vicinity. 1t is from the circular OF an ex

British cotton goods have advanced from the
lowest point from 20 TO % per cent. The rise
has been so great and rapid as to cause fears that
It may seriously interfere with the export demand

The rise from the lowest point Of that kind OF
cotton which is consumed ia the largest quaint

Wool in England has advanced ten cents per

The WATCH We mean to
note down every word, look, or act, which looks
like support of slavery on the part of the ad.
mlnlstraton. We gave, the other day. some
reasons why we feared it. We offer now some
facts which strengthen these fears:
Caleb B. Smith was the main cause OF the dc
feat OF Colts resolutions. He is appointed TO a
lucrative office.
Mr.. Hudson of Massachusetts, was rejected
by his constituents, because he wavered in his
and-savery action. He is made Naval officer of
Boston.
1t was the duty of one OF these gentlemen,
from his cBiciGl position to act Ell iently upon
the subject of slavery 1t was his pleasure to
do nothing. 1t was the pledge OF the other to
be foremost in the cause of freedom. 1t was his
Yet both are rewarded /; both wear honors on
their brows, and have their pockets lined with
gold.
Is this accidental Time will tell. If other
appointments made and men like situated are
chosen, the decree is made and it cannot be de-
MED. The patronage of the government wiu be
ererted against anti Slauery action
We know what was said on that subject. The
people remember well what the friends of Tay-
or declared he would do, regards the patron
age and the Veto We will not say that these
pledges violated but we do say that every
man SO far-every appointment, with one excep
ton every indication threatens war to the
death against anti-slavery men. And one of tne
strongest weapons in this intended e discriminating
conflict, ii all signs not fallacious-is the pat
ronage OF the Executive.
But we will wait and weigh what is done, ere
we affirm how this will end
