DOUBLE SHEET. Hew York, Thursday, October 7, 1852. Another Cuban Outrage. We learn by telegraph from New Orleans, that the ‘UD. 8. mail steamship Crescent City, commanded by spt. Porter, U.S. N., orher arrival at Havana, from this port, whence she sailed on the 27th ult., with mails, passengers, and freight, was not permit- ted to enter that port. She was accordingly com* pelled to proceed, with her mails and passengers, to New Orleans. From the latter port, the passengers and mails must reach Havana as they can, and the Sreight must probably be brought back to this city, This is the third or fourth instance in which the American flag, and ships commanded by American officers, in the service of the American government, have been subjected to gross insult by the authori- ties of Cuba. It is less for the loss and injury in- flicted upon the company, the interruption of the trade between the two countries, tho non-delivery ef the mails, and the annoyance and vexation to passengers, than for the degrading insult to our fing, that we allude to this, the latest exhibition of ‘wanton power by the Spanish officials at Havana. it is high time that this whole question was brought ‘to the serious consideration of our government, and jt is quite time to know whether these insults and violatious of treaty s'ipulations, the utter dis- Yegard they evince to the rights of our citizens, and the character of our flag, are to be longer per- mitted. If the government hesitate, the psople will not. The Cuban authorities, with the infatuation which actuates ‘‘those whom the gods woull de- stroy,”’ seem to provoke the fate they deserve. ‘The News. The Cunard steamer Asia reached this port yos terday afternoon, with three days’ later advices from all parts of Europe. As usual of late, the politicn] news from the other side of the Atlantic does not amount to much. Nevertheless, the letter of our London correspondent, together with the extracts from different journals upon various topics, will be found well worthy of perusal. According to Louis Napoleon’s speech at Lyons, the decla- ration of the empire may be looked fer at no distant day. From the peculiar adroit mess with which he constructs his sentences one would almost be led to believe that he had taken leseons from some of tho more cunning Politicians in this country. Much damage had been @one, both in Switzerland and France, by the over. flow of the Raine. Lord Hardinge has been ape pointed Commander-in-Chief of the British army, in place of the Jate Duke of Wellington.

The demand for Ameri- can cotton had somewhat falion off, but there was mo change in price? parket was stil! very dull. According to the regular ri as well as the despatch from our correspondent, the Web ster meeting in Boston, last night, was a tremen- dous affair. It wasa demonstration that the Scott whigs will not be likely to wipe out for some time tocome. What will tend to give still more force to the matter, isthe determination of the thousands there assembled to follow thiz moeting up by others throughout the State ances of really look very slim, so far as Massachusetts is con- eerncd, at all events Gen. Scott, who was reported to have been quite unwell on Tuesday, was sufficiently recovered yes- terday morning to receive the congratulations of the people of Cincinnati, to on to two speeches welcoming him to that city, and to make one in reply. The General's allusion to the circumstances connected with and subsequent to the surreader of Hull, is worthy of particular attontion. The old goldier took especial pains to inform the Ohioans that it was through his instrumentality, foresight, and eagacity, that the American people ever reco- vered from that inglorious surrender. Forgetting that he was at that time a subordinate officer on the akes, and that various of his distinguished bre- thren inarme were his equals ia rank, he says :— “It was then that I called around me men who could be trusted, and told them that the hour had come,” &e. The only tribate of respect paid to his compatriots is in the simple acnouncement he afier wards makes, that ‘‘we fell to work, and the thing was done.” The General certainly has a way pecu- liar to himself of making known the history of the past. Read the speech, under the telegraphic head. The temperance mon of Pittsburg held a meeting at Piteburg on Tuesday evening, at which it was resolved to support no candidates for office who do ‘ove of the Maine law.

Io consequence of the ev avrd'rary ir flax of ad- vertiscme: ts,: mi news ‘rem every quarter, we obliged to defer the pub igation of a great deal matter pre ared fo- th’s ¢ay’s paper. However, our inside pages contain many columns of enter- taining read : g, of which the following are the heads of the most prominent :—Proceedings of the New York Hist: rica! Soci:ty, including an interesting papr .m Mr. Bartlet‘, of the Mexican Boundary Commission; More of the Secret History of the Gar- diner Claim; The last Whaler of the Season at Hon- olulu; Financial and Commercial Reviews, Cours Reports, &e. Tariffs and Trade. The able letter, hich recently appeared in our colums over the signature of ‘‘Munster,” addressed to the peoplejof Ireland, urging them to;the adoption of domestic manufactures, to the exclusion of every thing British, ha: beon made a text by the New York Urbune to yrea: a sermon in favor of terri ble tariffs and high protectiva. This shows tha the cause cf specula'io: mus be ina very despe rate condition, when its organs are compelled to re sori to such y ©‘ gument. in favor of absurd theor'es. It is! ke drowning men grasping at straws in the water. The cases of Ireland and the United States, in ce to manufactures, are totally different. In st place, Ireland has redundant population for sgricultural purpeses; ste has scarcely any ma- nufactures at all, though the coantry is so well adapted to them, owing to the cheapness of labor, and the abundance of water power. The manufac. turing interes: is, theref re, cnly in its infancy in Ireland, it it can be suiito bavean existence atall: whereas, in the Uni'ed Stsies manufactures abound and are in a high state of prosperity, increasing by a geomet-cal r.tio ev ry year. An infant needs ance and support till its stranyth is developad and it can go alone. Tho full gown man require- nobody to help him to walk. But Ireland could not have @ tariff if she would, becaus» Eogland wakes her laws, and would not, of cours), pass an enactment to injure hero n manufactures. There is, therefore, no para'le between her case ard that of the United States. The :emedy proposed for the elevation of the condi:ion 0. the Irish peopl is not the passage of any Jaw, but a voluntary sa: fice for the present, in order to attain a great end | at last. The love of liberty, and the hope of its ul- timate achievement, are appealed to in order to in- | duce them to f.1eg0 temporary advantages and com- forts by wearing, of home made manufacture, a worse fabric than the 1gish one at the same price, or one of equa! quality at a higher price, in order to tame the pride of John B..', and to gradually es. | teblich manufactures in Ircland, which, in the case | of that country, would be a: important element | of prosperity and independence. But these condi- | tions do not apply to tho United States. She eady tamed the pride of England, and our manufactures are already ;10s,erous, in despite (f competition, or ratier, perhaps, by the ulus it has given. Protective tariffr, high or low, are useless for the purpose of encouraging tative manufactures. To be of essential service, they must be prohibitory, and the foreign article must be wholly shut out. | But the question is, would :uca prvhibition be de- sirablo in a great country like this, with an inox- hauetible virgin soil, whose products are the main source of nationa! wealth? W uldit be desirable to divert labor from the cu tivation of the soil to the excessive manufacture 0° goods, and especially such goods as from he cheas-ess of labor can be manu- fictured at a lower rate in ther countries? Would not the effect be to enhance the prices of the neces- saries of life? Matters are far better for us as they are; it is far more advantageous to give our turp'us products in exchange for ar- ticles of this ceseription manufactured in other countries. Acending to the croakers who would siddle the country at large with a tax for the advan- tage of a few, the capitalists are ruined for want of protection; but instead of that, we find thom pro:« pering a'l over the country, wherever their estab- lishments are properly managed. In the exchanges ofthe world, man: factures ond all other commodi- ties find their ‘evel by the oj eration of the principles of free trade; anit the igoorant ery for protection is only going back, like a baby to its mother’s apron string, instead of going forward and manfully com- peting, as we are a ots co,w h wl other coun- tries, in such artic! s aa itis our interest to manufac- ture. Bo soon as we have a surplus population, and the resources ef our soil are exhausted, then it will be time enough to talk of protection; and even then the example of England would put us to shame if we attempted to go back to the beggarly elements of pro- tootion—the swa dige'ot«s hic sh- has long since outgrown. In this country we have no redan- dant po joo—no man whois able and willing to wi necd beidle. There is abundant employment for and therefore the i lustration used by an olec- tioneering demagogue, afew days ago, of two nei, 8 | bors having cach a plantation of the same extent, sud beth having ono hundred s'aves, but one of ma keeping employed his whole huadred mon, while th © only cm loyed sixty, and had to food | the remaining forty, hough idle, is not to the -| tis wh inapplicsb'e. The people of } th « do not feed prople who are | idle, me of the loafer genus, and some | ntrive to live without working, | ey no work to do, but because I tion were jad to tura them: eto manufac- tures, it would infict # serious tejury tépon the progress of American agrieniture, without any be- nefit to the manufacturing out om the contrary tending to its ultimate loss, Howineons.. tent is it om the part of the Kossuth crusaders, who wanted to induce this country to go to war with European governments fer the freedom of their peo- Ple, at the same time to advocate a policy that would starve them, without feeding one hungry American the more ! The protection that is wanted, if any statesman- ship could devise the means of affording it, is Protection against the inflation of the currency and the expansion of allsorts of credits. When paper money abounds, luxuries will bo manufactured and imported and purchased, far beyond the natural wants of the country, and the result will be, sooner or later, @ financial crisis which will inflict ruin upon many, and disturb for a time all commercial relations, but which capnot arrest the onward destiny of the country itself, which rises fresher after each fall, and gocs ahead again, Kke the giant of a whose strength was “0 0d every thing he am i contact with mother earth. —— “Uxcie Tom” and firs Ecct.esiasrican Sunay —The woolly head romance which has recently caused such a sensation among the anti-slavery fans, tics in this country and in England—the much be- puffed ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin ”—has, strange to say, turned out to be a firebrand of strife and dissension, not where it was designed to produce these elements, but between the ministers of the gospel and the professors and preachers of peace and good will to- wardsmen. Terrible and annihilatory is tho feud which it has created among the saints of the earth, on whose lips the benedictory ejaculatiofi of pax vo- biscum is changed into expressions not exactly in keeping with their reputation for meekness and pio- ty. It would be quite irreverent in any person to think, just now, of the appropriateness of the pro- verb which spoaks of the benefits which honest men have a chance of deriving from the falling oyt of rogues; it would be narhans more beodniing to de- yore the grievous injury which religion must suffer f.om this terrible strife among her great and shining lights. There is, doubtless, sorrow and tribulatiou among the angels in heaven, while jubilee reigns in the lower regions; and among the infidels and so- cialists of this sublunary sphere, it is the cause of triumph and rejoicing. Even the special organ of Fourierism, skepticism, atheism, and all the other ‘“isms’’—the New York Tribwne—tis so elated at the prospect of a smash among the parsons, that it éevotes no less than three closely printed columns to the details of this ecclesiastical row. As in most other desolating wars, tho teferroma causa bellt in this case is a woman—a religious, Christian, philanthropic specimen of womanhood. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, in her celebrated novel. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” has, it seems, given mortal fence to a very worthy minister of the gospel in this city—Rev. Joel Parker—by attributing to him pro-slavery sentiments and declarations, reflecting on his reputation as a pious Christian, a moralist and a philantbropist. Mr. Parker, deeply incensed at his being thus publicly pilloried and held upto the execration of the community, appliod to Mrs. Stow. for a public retraction of the offensive paragraphs, threatening a cuit for libel in case she refused tu make the amende honorable.. Aftor considerab). dodging and delay, which the injured party endured with the patience and long suffering which are sup- posed to be among the attributes of his holy call ing, one of. the many reverend brothers of th authoress— Henry Ward Beecher— was appointed plenipotentiary in the matter, to make terms. From the voluminous publications which have since bee: flooding the religious newspapers on the subject o the controversy, it would appear that Mr. B., in th: officious performance of his office, drew up with hi own hand a correspondence purporting t> bo be tween the offending and offended parties, in whic! justice was sparingly done to the latter; and having received a conditional and very doubtful assent to i: from Dr. Parker, he unhesitatingly caused the same to be published as the real bona fide letters that hai paseed between them, and which purported to hare been quite satisfactory to the injured feelings o: Dr. Parker. This divine, however, was still more wroth at the legerdemain trick thus played upo» him, and soon after comes out in one of the ecclesi astical papers—the Observer—and disavows thes- letters, pronouncing them to be, in fact, forgeries Then ensued a correspondence, in which Dr: Parker Professor Stowe, Mrs. H. B. Stowe, and her father Rev. L. Beecher, bore each a part; and finally the ac cused Henry Ward Beecher, comes out in his paper— the Independewt—with a nine column article, design- ed to utterly annihilate his reverend opponent. In one paragraph, in the summing up, this belligeron’ priest gives Dr. P. the lie direct no legs than six times—the lie equivocal once—and accuses him of the sunpressio veri in four instances. In his own waggish way, he exhorts poor Parker to “‘repen‘, confess, and regain his peace of mind;” then again in company with the Observer, to ‘‘confoss first tc God, next to the public, and then to each other.’ It will be thus seen that “Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ has brought a sword of dissension and strife int« the sacred ranks of the priesthood, and has alread; caused a terrible flare-up among the confraternity The clergy in the city, and throughout the country are ranging themselves on one side or on the other. and tke feud threatens to result in a dreadful revul sion, which may produce as mighty consequences as did the split between Luther and Leo X, be tween three and four centuriesago. Hard names are interchanged between the parties with as muc’ vigor, liberality, and sontempt of the rules of po liteness, as characterize the classic sayings an doings on the “Five Pointe,” or as are to be foune among the speeches and writings of stump orators or partisan jourvalists, before anelection. Now, all these reverend personages are destined, boyone the possibility of a doubt, to luxariate in the beati fied regions of the seventh heaven, it may naturall, be inferred that their demeanor and conyoreation o: earth is in perfect keoping with the state of socioty in which they expect to move aloft; and ifit be then all we can soy inthe matter is, that there i every probability of * Unole Tom's” poople having the pleasure of associating there, with th inhabitants of the “live Points,” and the infidels socialists, and louricrites, who now vogetate in thir pious community. Newsrarer StRvGGLEs.—Many of the nowspy pers in this city resemble drowning persons strug gling in the water—some with wonderful sinews, and some with fainting energies, growing weaker at every stroke. Two of the most interesting ot these are the Tribune and Times, who are botb struggling forthe mastery in the limited ranks of abolition and Seward whigs—struggling for pa tronage, power, existence, and porpotuity. The Tribune hes the advantage of being ostablished for some years; but the Zimes has more money at its back. The Tytbwne hag a larger circulation in the country; the Times has a larger circulation in the city, by a foreed process. The limits ot the patron- age of both are narrowed to a particular clique of society, and they never got beyond this contracted range. The etruggle between thom to seo which will tink, and which will swim to terra firma, it very amusing to the epectators standing on the shore. To us, whose range is as wide and bound Jess as the horizon, it aleo appears amuwing and in- teresting; but it possesses no permanent character. The Tribune is the most violent of the two; the Times has the most gentlemanly silliness. 'T style of the Tyibwne ia approp ¢ to the Mive Pointe—that of the Times is beroft of all virility and strength. Both profess to } in favor of Scott for the Presidency; but it is doubtful which of thom injures him most. ably the ess and gt pidity of the @imes aro less injurions to him tha the notorious inventions, the propost untruth coneoeted and ci ted by the Tribi great Slevegammon revolution ip Trela Tux Orry Nowmations.—How to DereaT rus | Bap anv Egor Tus Goop.—The city nomina- tions made by the wirepullers, both of the whig and Gemoeratio parties, are the topics of conversation in ove. sitele, and every day they are continuing to more “2d more discontent among indepen- dent and disintereste. “itizens of all classes. Wo do not speak of all the u.“ipations om either | ticket, but of the majority of them. The more the | claims and characters of these aspirants for “%0e aro | canvassed, and the more closely inquiry is made into the means by which those persons obtained the | nominations, the more do the people at large feel satisfied of their unfitness-for posts of honor, trust, or emolument, or any office requiring in man who fills it, ability, principle, integrity, and high moral courage. The nominations, for the most pert, have been | Peachey eat Haat, by bata ittelgue and a ee wy the despotic influence of money -vwayism at tho primary elections. The Mingleaders of the organized rowdy clubs have been bribed to carry the primary elections vi et ermis, and have sent corrupt delegates (in some wtances, those of their own number) to the various nominating cenventions; and the delegates thus sent, and in cases where rowdy violence did not prevail, the delega es sent under different auspices, have been bribed alte in the most shameless and pro- fligate manner, to vote frequontly for the most worth- Jess of the candidates. In England and other coun- tries where there are no primary elections, and where the legal electors are few in proportion to the popu lation, they are bribed directly, especially in bo roughs. Here, vote by ballot, apd the independence of the masses, render that course imipracticable, and the operations are effected with ward politicians aad managors, and the chiefs of organizations of bullies and fighting men, who have no visible moans of sup- Port, and who make a living by the performance of | this dirty work for the unprincipled rascals who pay them for it, and take their chance of being amply repaid out ofthe public treasury. There is no secret ‘bout it ; some of them avow it, and so unblushing is their effrontery, and such is the tendency of the system to degrade humanity, that they do not seem to feel that thoy do what is wrong. They maintain that they are only playing a game of political chance against other gamblers; that the public plunder is their legitimate prey, and that the man who would turn up his noso at thom is either a fool or a sanctimonious hypocrite. Such is the deeply demoralizing progress of corruption. But, unfortunatciy, in this game, no matter who wins, the tax-payers lose. Whatever candidates succeed in getting office, the people pay the piper. If the political gamblers only won from each other, the cage would bo very different; but on both sides they are blacklegs and stool pigeons, who play with loaded dice, and pluck and plunder their victims, and then quarrel among each other about the spoils. In this game of pitch and toss, as far as the people” are concerned, it is “head I win, tail you lose.” The peo Je generally are boginning to foc] this, and the moro reflecting and intelligent classes have long since felt it. But they have never yet been able to devise a remedy, or each has been so occupied with his own private business that he preferred to pay quietly his share of the continually. increasing taxa- tion rather than lose, like a creditor to whom bad debts are due, twice the amount in secking for redress, and after all fail in his odject. But this is a very narrow, selfish and short- sighted view of the case. Even looking at it in the light of dollars and cents, if the progress of this public robbery is not arrested in time, the evil will so grow by what it feeds upon, that in a few years more it cannot be arrested at all, and it will go on augmenting till at length every individual will feel it in his pocket—the only sensitive part of some people—but when it may be too late to apply the remedy, and public bankruptcy may fall upon the vity with a crash. But there is a higher and moro important view of the subject than more money considerations, or burthens of taxation, however grievous to be borne. The personal liberty, the property, and the social and domestic happiness of the people are at stake. Not only those rights which every free man holds as dear as life, but the security of life itself, is involved in the pure and able administration of public justice. But this depends upon a proper and careful exercise of the tranchise by these on whom it is conferred by the magma charta of American liberty ; and those who use it otherwise, do not appreciate the privilege they pessess. If there is foul corruption or ignorance and imbocility in high places, the people have them- elves to blame, and, indeed, they often pay the penalty. They have the power of setting all right if they would only take the necessary pains. The remedy is in their own hands, and it is simple and effectual. Let them at the coming elvctions either take the trouble of writing out a ticket for thom- selves, placing on it the best men, or, which will answer equally well, let them take the ticket of the party to which thoy belong, and with an unsparing hand strike off every unwor- thy name from it, and substitute a good one, or leave |its place blank, rather than vote for men who ought never to be nominated, but being, un- fortunately nominated, ought never to be clectod The only alternative left honest and good men is to “scratch, scratch, scratch;” and when their hand is in, let them not forget those who have heen associat edin the Hungarian, Irish, and other fllibustero movements, by which the psople have been so pro- fasely bled, under the preteneo and in the name of sacred freedom. For instance, the Irish Directory, under the man agement of the Greeley gang, received some forty or fifcy thousand dollars, for the purpose of creating arevolution in Ireland—wh'ch turned out to be slievegammon, vapor, and smoke. This fund was not expended, and it has not been returned to the subscribers and is not aceounted for, though four years have elapsed. Robert Emmett, who isa mem- ber of that Directory and was also connected with the Hungarian committee, isa candidate for the office of judge. Is a man who shows such ignorance of international laws and of our treaties with for- eign nations, or knowing them treats them with utter contempt, by embarking in hostile movements against friendly powers, fit to be entrusted with the esponsibilities attaching to such an office? The efforts for liberty in Europe and in other countries, will always command the sympathy of the people of the United States. But their sympathy with struggling freedom is one thing, and to violate their treaties and international law by taking an active part in setting on foot military expeditions or sup- plying the munitions or sinows of war against those nations which are at peaco andamity with them, is quite another ; and the man who is so blind to the interests of his own country, and go insensible to the obligations of national morality, that he cannot make the distinction, is surely incapacitated for the discharge of those high duties which belong to the office of a judge in one of our Superior Courts. Again we say ‘ scrateh.” Watt Stnerr in A Frrant.—Tho disclosures and revelations which have come to light in our police court, these fow days past, showing tho facility with which euch an enormous eum as a quarter of a mil- lion of dollars may be quietly abstracted from tho coffers of extensive banking houses, without any great dread of detection, have caused a great son- sation among the capitalists of Wall streot. A sort of nervous pecuniary ague has enddenly appeared in that locality, and the slightest display of extrava- gance on the part of one of the confidential clorks is now quite enough to cause a fit of tho shivers to seize upon the head of the firm. Soriously and in truth, however, these revelations havo rush af. frighted the financiers who transvot business in the ro mado them extreme wis. Thoy cannot know on whomt dns all the brokara and bar bers ard mone re more oy lees guilty f ory i know it is but natural to expect Lat those wao have beon trained under them will have s penchant toward the fame courses. It will be some time before these excit- od feelings will be allayod, and in the meantime the moart young men who sit behind big books during the day, in that region of speculation and fraud, and display their white kids in the theatres and concert rooms during the evening, must hold hard and keep a sharp look out lest they might do, or say, or ex- hibit anything, which, to the suspicious mind of their employers, might suggest an idea of pecula- tion, or a too intimate connection with the funds of the esteblishment. Musical. MADAME SONTAG’S CONCERT. Last evenitig’s concert afforded another evidence, if one were wanting, of the tranrcendant vocal abilities of Ma- dame Sontag, of the superiority of the entertainments which she has presented to the public of this metropolis, and of the enthusiastic popularity which she enjoys here. ‘The house was as full on last evening, and the audience manifested as great a sensation of delight, as on the first occasion of her appearance here, Every seat in the hall was occupied, ond hundreds ofpersons were forced {9 stand during the whole of the performancg, Tlie pro- gramme presented was entirely new, with the exception Cf Madame Sontag’s Swirs sofg. compored for her by Eckert, in Which, as on all previous occasions when she sang it. she attained her greatest triumph, and the most general and hearty applause, Pozzolini and Badiali were valuable accessions to the concert, and were much ad- mired and applauded in aduet from Lucia di Lammer- moor. The former also sang with Madame Sontag the duet from Linda di Chamouni Ah? Consalarmi,” and Badiali sung with great effect the air “largo al factotum,”” from the * Barber of Seville” Paul Jullien charmed his audience with his exquirite performance on the violin, ‘and Alfred Jaell’s fantasia on the piano ; of themes from Norma. was also excellent. The concert was in every particular a charming and successful one—the only thing to be regretted in it, being. that it was the last but one. Madame Sontag’s final concert of the teries is an- nounced to take place to morrow evening, after which she leaves for Philadelphia, where, we learn the musical societies are making arrangements for greeting her with & mognificient serenade.

IMPOSITION ON THE FRONT STREET GROCERS—A BOLD TRICK, BUT CAUGHT AT LAST. For come three weeks past, a young man of clerk-like sppearance, named George Rice, well understanding the business habits of the Front street merchants, has been practizing a species of deception, of a peculiar character, whereby he obtained various sums of money averaging from $50 up to $150—in fact this genius is almosta second “Confidence man,’ only on another system However, the progress of this adventurer was suddenly stopped, on Tuesday afternoon. by calling in the aid © policeman Hill, of the First ward, who conveyed Mr Rice to the station house, where he remained until yester- dey morning. when conveyed before Justice Wood at the Tombs. The following facts were then devoloped to the magistratre. It seems that about three or four weeks ago, ona Sa- turday afternoon, ice callcd at the store of Kent, Low- ber & Co, No 1 Front street. wholesate grocers, Walked boldly up tothe desk and asked Mr. Perkins, one of the fim {f he had any uncurrent money, remarking thac Semuel Perry wanted to borrow from about $150 to $200. Mr, Perkins knowing Mr. Perry to keep store next door; and as it was customary to loan money to each other in thet way as an accommodatioa, Mr Per- kins, supposing. of course. that Rice was Perry's clerk, counted out all the uncurrent momey be had, which amounted to $160. Rice took the money, and remarked that he must go and drum up the other fifty elsewhere, As Rice left the store door, Mr Perkins noticed that he went in the opposite direction, instead of going into Perry’s store; this tact. he thought. was strange: and a ‘hought struck bim to go after him; but before he seached the outride, Rice was out of tight. Mr, Perkins then ascertained that Mr. Perry had not sent in for an; money, nor was Rice in his employ. The boldness ani business manner of Rice, in asking for the loan, com- pletely threw Mr Perkins off his guard and more parti- «ularly as the tace of the accured was very familiar, al- hough he did not know his name No more was heard cf this operation until last Saturday, when ho again sppearrd in Front street, visited the store of Mr, Robert M. Masterton, wholesale grosér, No. 60 Front street, walked up to the desk in @ business manner, and arked if they bad apy uncurrent money. as Wilson and Cobb (who kept next door) wanted to borrow $100? Mr. Masterton not having more than $75, counted the fame and handed it to Riee, who remarked, when receiving it, that he must go further and get the other $25. Rice left the store, and went directly into the store of Wilson & Cobb's, next door. Mr. Masterton saw Rice go next door, but not knowing the clerk. he dirceted the porter to go into Wilson & Cobb's, ond ascertain if it was all right The porter went a8 directed and as he entered the store, Rice was just, eying. and before the necessary inquiry could be made. Rice bad yanitbed out of sight The porter, however, a‘certained that Rice was not a clerk in that store nor had that firm eeut to borrowany money. Rice only entered the store for the purpose of carrying out the deceptionon Mr Masterton as the subsequent facts show, As an excuse for entering the store of Wilson & Cobb. he inquired of the porter in the store. if he knew a cart. man ip the neighborhood named Fellows, and then im mediately left the store. "The success of the previous opcrations evidently gave Rice a perfect nonchslenee as on Vhursday of this week, he again appeared among the grocers. Believing them to be firet rate chaps, he duringly visited the very vicinity, where he had fo lately defrauded the others. In this instance he enierod the store of Warren & Co. No. 54 Viont street. and in the same manner as above de- reribed, went to the desk, and asked to borrow $160 for Sherman & Collins, grocers, across the way. This time, unfortunately fer Rice but fortunately for Mr. War- he operation of this ‘Confidence *? individnal tecome known among the merchants in that neighborhcod, und at once he was suspected, “No? said Mr, Warren, “we have not got that amount to accommcdnte Messrs. Sherman & Collins; are you a clerk for Sherman & Collins 2 said Mr, War- ten, “Yes,” replied Rice. “I am;" and left the store imme. distely crossing over the street, and was reen to go into Shoman & Collins store Norooncr had he entered. than Mr. Warren followed in after him. and inquired of the preprietors of the store pointing to Rice, it he was one of their clerks, No, was the reply. Rice finding he war detected rushed out of the store and took to his hecls for escape; pursuit was instituted an alarm of stop thief wos raicd, and the imposter was captured aftera short run, and placed under the charge of a police. man, and is now lodged in the Tombs awaiting his trial fur corstructive larcenics. It is presumed that other complaints will yet be brought ageinst him, as soon as his arrest becomes known. Already it is ascertained that several ot the stores where he visited, they refused to loan any money, In one instance. strange to say, where he asked for $100, they told him they had $50, which they offered to loan; but he refused to take it. and left the store.
