miscellaneous police orpicc nov 23 arrest of a dfspeh- at villain- through the instrumentality of j- cob hayes the high constable of this city a fellow wn arretted a few days ago in boston whose al most entire life from a very early period of it up to the present has been spent in committing rob beries and burglaries or suffering punishment for them in the state prison- several years since this fell under the name of michael colwy which is believed to be his real one was convicted in this city of a capital offence and sentenced to the slates prison after serving out his time he went to boa- ton where he called himself gibson and under that name was there convicted of another felony and a- gtiio sentenced to the states prison- after serving oat his term of imprisonment he returned to new york where he assumed the name of captain smith and again became an object of the high constables particular attention his next location was in the neighborhood of schenectady where he went by the name of wilson and in conjunction with several others robbed the rail road office at schenectady being arrested along with some others who were supposed to be concerned in this robbery he turned states evidence but before the time of trial con trived to escape from prison and the remainder of them were obliged to be liberated for mai of suffi cient proof against them- after this nothing more tvme heard of him until some months back when a gentleman went into a barbers in this city to get shaved aad had 2300 stolen from the pocket f fciscoat which he hung on a chair in the room an account of this robbery was sent to the police office and jacob haves soon ascertained that it had been commited by the fellow wc arc speaking f no trace of him however could be found and after several weeks spent in searching for tum the pursuit was given up as hopeless it has been ut- ready remarked that while in new york he called himself captain sinih and sometime since a let ter with that address was delivered ffom he post office at a house in downing street where lie sup posed hi wife was and which by a singular coinci dence was inhabited by another captain smith when the letter arrived and to him it was delivered on reading the letter captain smith found that it was not intended fur him but had been written by soire mr smith to his wife desiring her to cutnc to boston by the steam boat and that he would meet her there on its arrival the captain smith who opened the letter had no knowledge whatever of the person who wrote it nor for whom it was intended besides which though it came from boston it ws dated cape cod and contained a great many slang or flash phrases and terms the meaning of which he was ignorant of the matter appeared altogether so irgularand mysterious that he carried the letter to jacob hayes who 01 reading it immediately perceived that it was written jy ifre xsfirfuwl whom he had been so anxious to arrest and hat very night wrote to mr pierce the high constable mt botson informing him where cnlhosey was to be found and requesting him to take him in custody in due time mr hayes received a letter from mr pierce staling that he had made every exertion to towcl the fellow hut could not find him and mr hayes began to fear that he had again escaped but yesterday morning he received another letter mr pierce saying that he had succeeded in arrest ing the fellow and that he is now in boston jail waiting for the authorities of this stale to claim him when arrested by mr pierce there was found with him a quantity of jewelry and silver spoons marked e lockwood there is little doubt were the fruits of one ofhis many robberies journ of commerce coals to newcastle the manchester eng guardian is quite alarmed at the impor tation from paterson new jersey into that city ola quantity of no 22 water twist cotton yam manufactured by collett smith the guardian says the yarn was purchased in new york or ac count of a manufacturing house in manchester and has been laid don there at full three hah pence a pound cheaper than it could have been purchased in that marw the guardian however consoles it self by saying blkiuc to observe ikf this yarn was probably purchased ui the influence of the serious depression which the recent iia in their monetary and hanking system produced in the united states and that the price of 23s water twist here has of late been decidedly higher than it was for some lime previously nevertheless ob serves that paper after making all due allowances on this score there will remain in the transaction abundant ground for becoming sensible of the great importance of a timely removal of the duty on raw cotton it may be observed as a further mntjvi to tins wp thatcouou yarn imported from the untied states is subject to no duly
