criminal laws of this county, and instance of it

ceiyng stolen goods, worded differently, and punish

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The Home Squad
ron is still further to be increased. The
frigate Sabine fifty guns) will soon proceed
to the Gulf There will then be ten vessels
Of war, with two hundred and twelve guns.
AS one vessel has already been ordered to
Tampico to land marines and other forces if
necessary, 10 protect American citizens, and
their property, in the event of an assault by
Mramon on that city, the impression prevails
here that similar course will be pursued at
other points wherever such intervention may
he required by American interests. 1t may not
be generally known that the sailors are con-
stantly drilled in the practice of small arms as
well as ordinance. The latter can be used O..
land, as carriages are provided for their use in
such an emergency.
For more than twelve months past the Sec
retnry Of the Treasury has been receiving in
formation from the collectors in compliance
with the official instructions as to what reduc-
tious can be made in tho expenses of collecting
the revenue from customs. As the reports
have been succe,sively received, the reforms
have been gradually carried out as far MS they
could be without detriment to the public SER
vice
The expenses attending the collecting Of
revcnue during the last year were about
$4,000 less than during the one preceding.
The reduction Of the expenses at New York
and other cities, soon to he effected, is a part
OF the economical arrangement
The Treasury has ample means at its com
mand. A million and balf of the late loan
has not yet been called in, but can be obtained
at any time, besides from four to five millions
of Treasury notes can now be re issued under
recent act of Congress, and as many us may
be redeemed can be re issued; therefore, with
the four millions subject to draft, nine or ten
millions are ut this time available for Treasury
purposes, Within the last ten days a million
and half in Treasury notes has been re-issued
at five per cent.
The frigate Congress is to be the flag ship

Six Chiefs at once voluntarily offered them
selves as hostages, overjoyed probably at the
idea of having good time at the fort, and
plenty to eat, for the poor devils are generally
half starved. One of those who thus surren-

From New York,

NEW York, June 6.-The papers give the
particulars of a shocking wife murder in this
city yesterday. The husband, George Meyer,
has, it is said, already served a term in the
State Prison.
The dead body of female we'll dressed, was
picked up in the bay near Fort Hamilton yes
terday. From appearances it was evident she
had met her death by violence. The case Is
surrounded rs yet with considerable mystery,
and the Coroner's investigation may lead to
the revelation of the horrible crime.
The body of the lady found near Fort Ham
ilton is supposed to be the remains of the wife
of Henry Halsey, of West Twelfth street. She
has been missing since Wednesday last, on
which day she was detected by her husband in
tho act of writing letter to a certain gentle-
man of Brooklyn. The husband was arrested
to-day and taken to Fort Hamilton.

caused his parents much trouble. He has
been in the habit of coming home drunk,
and threatening personal violence to the
family. On Friday night last, he came home

As Mr.. Charles Young, of Fulton, was pass
ing along Front street, near Butler, on Monday
morning, about three O'Clock, he was stopped
by man who demanded the breast pin which
he saw glistening in his front, aud at the same
time made Aourishing menace with a knife.
Mr.. Young struck the highwayman without a
moments delay, and closing upon him, seized
the hand which held the knife. After con-
siderable struggle, the rufian was deprived
of the deadly weapon, at which time, feeling
himself overcome by the kicks and thumps of
the man he would have robbed, he made ju-
dicious retreat. One of Mr.. YOung's hands,
We regret to say, was considerably cut in the
ARRAY.
