Facilities Tor Committing Crime.

The New York Police Gazette. speaking of a
late arrest of burglars in that city, says:
The facilities which the thieves of New York
have fer committing crimes are almost beyond
belief, Their organization is complete. In search
ing Moure's house after his escape, the police
discovered n member of confidential letters which
be had received from all parts OF the county
The letters il would be highly injudlcious t" pub
li~h; ms they impcate respectable merchants out
West AID parties in this city. who are supp oscd
to he beyond suspicion. These letters showed
the facility afforded thieves in di,po-ing of their
property. There were also letters from the own
crs of "a noted fence in Tenth street. In peru
sing thee letters carefully il was also discovered
,ha, this gang, with which Moore was connected
had me- hnnics and lahorers in their employ. who
furnished them with full and accurate descrip-
lion Of the h, uses they were al work upon.
There were also found number of diagrams of
stores and dwellings,, If an innumerahle number
o. house. in this city, showing how the various a
purimeuts were laid out, and IT store. whore the
safe or silks were deposited; if a dwelling house,
where the money or the silver plate was located.
Who flu ni-hrd the thieves with the sedagram>l
There i not store or no use worth breaking into,
bat is n We. known to the burglars as the owners
them elves, Even the very locks on the doors
are known. yet no impres sion has been made with
wax. Who gives information Of this character!
New York is at the mercy of thieves; no police,
however effective, can afford adequate protec-
