IMPORTANT ARRESTS EY THE GOVERNMENT.
The arrests made by Marshal Murray, at
New York, On Wednesday lmSr, prove to ~ Of
much greater importance lhun vas ut first
supposed. The INST dilieent inquiry at tl.r
Mar~hal's office has failed to elicit Anything
new regarding these arrests; but the friends #
the parties taken into cuSt'dy d. not hesitate
to admit that there were ample grounds Tor
making them. We learn from q party who
were in the Office of Mckee when the mar
shals came in, that the gentleman was just
looking over his morning correspondence
h.t upon being informed he was wanted nv
the officers, dispatched hi, clerk with dig.
patch, and upon the suppositinn that he (Mo.
keal would return shortly, left his letters and
papers undisturbcd. and Immediately went
with tirm. Shortly afterwards ono nf the
officers returned and seized all the letters ard
loose papers on the desk, including tic recent
/! arrived letters, and took them away. The
same official seized six cases that were in the
place and conveyed them to tho Marshal's
ofi"e.
On one Of these cases. small one. the cover
had worked loose and disclosed It's contents 10
be field glasses. Tho other cascs were iron
bound, and were very heavy; but their con.
tents were not known to tho parties in the
office. Our reporter was Yesterday informed
1T rhe Marsllnl's Office that thev had mt 7e;
been orerhauled. The letters and naners fund
are said to contain information of the highest
Importance to the Government. ana such AZ
will tend to impIicate partic, of prominence
in this city. They also throw some little light
upon matters and things in Dixie; ard show
to what straits and strntegems the rebels are
sometimes driven. Mr.. + NJ. Gomez, one of
tho other parties arres.ed.> ia sn,in7ento-, as
his friends state, and has fnr five wears ra.t
been manufacture Of blasting fuse. Since
the breaking out of the rebellion be has turned
his attention TO the Manufacture Of fuse for
the United States Government. and is charged
with having supplied simil,r material for tha
rnhels. He had in his Office ut the time Of his
arrest six thousand feet made UP This lnt
hi, wife states he had IN order for from the
Ordnance Department at the Nav York Navy
Yard. The circumstances will all Se irrnsti

utcdly have an opportunity to c1nlain him
