A few days ago United States Marshal arrested
a man named Henry stussy, at the Continental
hotel, Philadelphia. A dispatch says: '@ RI
The accused had in his possession the sum Of
sS6200 in drafts upon the house OF Peabody & Co.
London. Information reached the marshal which
INDUCED him to believe that Stussy who was from
the South, was the agent of mercantile house in
New Orleans and that he was en- route for Europe
to purchase goods, which were to be sent to Loui-
staDa in English vessels; via Havana. The arrest
was, therefore, made as stated and the seizure of
the money was followed by the discharge of
