ARREST OF A SwINDLER.-Yesterday Officer
Sullivan, of the Second ward, arrested Thomas
Richardson, alias John Williams, charged with
swindling the propriGtors of Willards' Hotel.
Williams took board at tho hotel about ten days
ago, and deposited In the safe a small package,
which he said contained $4,000, and which was
so marked upon the outside. Since he has been
at the hotel ho has entertained a number Of
friends every day, buying wine, riding about,
and living In fine style, and, by 80 doing, run
ming up quite large bill. Mr. Chadwick, ono
Of the propretoTs, having been out Of town for
the past week, upon returning home, On Sat-
urday, made some inquiries as TO who the gen.
tleman was who had been running up so largo
a bill. He was Informed by the clerk that II
was q Mr.. Williams. He asked him why he did
not present his bill as his week was up, and II
was always customary TO present each man
with bill at the end Of every week. The clerk
told him the man had deposited 5000 in the
safe, and he supposed he was good. Mr.. Chad
wick Immediately made out his bill and sent 1t
up TO his room, but he was at dinner.
Mr.. Chadwick waited until ho came out from
dinner, and then presented the bill. Williams
walked up to the office and requested the clerk
to hand him the small money package which
he had placed In tho safe. The clerk handed
him the package. He said he had some friends
in the dining room, and would like TO speak
with them a moment, but would be right back
and settle his bill. Mr.. Chadwick suspectlng
all was not right, followed him out as far as
the dining room, but instead Of going In there,
he started to run out into the room, but was
caught by Mr.. Chadwick, who collored him,
and officer Sullivan was sent fer, who took him
TO the station house, whore he had an examina-
ton last night before Justice Clayton. Mr..
Chadwick was the only witness summoned,
who testified to the above facts. He made a
request that the package, said TO contain $500,
should DO broken open, as he wished 10 sec Ia
It did really contain the above sum. The JUS
tlce broke II open, and found nothing but an
old wallet and several pieces Of paper. He
committed Williams to Jail for court. Prevl-
GUS TO his being committed, Superintendent
Webb ordered his likeness TO be taken and
placed In the rognes gallery. Il Is said, he IL
not only a swindler but a pick pocket, for
while In company with a gentleman on sstur-
day night, he relieved him OF a ten dollar
treasury note, and the said note was found In
his possession when he was arrested.

WASHINGTON News, l9th.-Another
batch Of intercepted rebel correspondence
il out to-day. From careful perusal it
appears that the rebels are suffering for
common articles necessary to the COM
forts Of life. The modus operandi Of
the cotton trade under the British flag is
especially important and interesting. One
Of George Sanders letters declares that
they must have aid, or the rebel cause
will perish. 1t is asserted that other de-
velopments have been made in addition
to this intercepted correspondence, show
ing a design on the part of Frenchmen
to re establish Texas as an independent
government, under the protection OF Ma
poleon.
It turns ont that the secret visit Of
Greeley was principally to the end Of re-
modelling the Cabinet to suit his ideas Of
the fitness o. things. With Mayor OPP
