SUICIDE OF A BARONET'S SON.-A REMARKABLE LEITER.  RELEASE OF CAPTAIN CAREY.  THE CASWELL MUTINY.-EXECUTION OF GUISEPPE PISTORIA.  A NEW YORK MYSTERY.  According to American papers, the story of the theft of tho body of Alex infer T. Stewart from its grave in St. Mark's Churchyard, New York, last November, has been again brought forward. It is asserted that the body has not yet been moored; :othough Judge Hilton knew of its whereabouts and the haunts of the thieves as long ago as January. The thieves, accordin; to the story, tried to enter into negotiations with Judge Hilton, with a view to a compromise, through the ag!mcy of ex-Postmaster P. 11. Jones. So far from denying his connection with the matter, Gem,rai Jones gives an account of a brief, but most remarkable experience as the counsel of the grave rubbers how he received the missing coffin-plates and some otter articles, and what conversations he had on the aubject with Policesuperintendent Walling and Judge Hilton. For many months past it has been pretty generally behoved that the body had teen recovered and placed in the unfinished crypt at Hai den City, which was guarded by four watchmen. Moreover, Mrs. Stewart had revery. ed her former cheerfulness and mingled once more with her friends, and from this it was argued that the great murce of her grief had been removed. It is now asserted, however, that Mrs. Stewart had simply been deceived, and that Judge Hilton's composure and the engagement of extra watchmen at Garden City were in accordance with a plan designed to proouce precisely the impression it was no successfu. in producing that no compromise has been effected with the thieves, and that they are still beyond the reach of the law. An extraordinary statement has been made in refel race to the matter by a stone-cutter and image' taker named Sable, who was the author of certain giant impfedures in America and in the north of Ireland. He states that there were four person, eonoerned in the robbery of Mr. Stewart'e body. One was a notorious woman in New York, refnark• able for her beauty. These people consulted him or. various scheme based on the disinterment of belies. 'The first scheme was to steal the remains of the trait, Ben, diet Arnold from a graveyard in London, but that failed. Another of the schemes were to disinter, on the property of Lord Leitrim, in Ireland, a stone image to be called the true St. Patrick, or to dig out on lands near the Giants Causeway' the petrified body of Finn McCoul. The latter was attempted, but the fraud was discovered and exposed. Afterwards the clique convulsed the t robbery of the remains of Mr. Stewart. Sable did ' not take part in the robbery owing to a coolness Loving sprung up, but he believes the persons indicated were the authors of the robbery.
