The further fact has algo been made known that certain government inspectors, whose duty it was to prevent such fraudulent action, have, on the con- trary, been parties to these swindling operations. Since Tueaday last seven factories have been seized by Collec- tor Shook, of the Thirty-sécond Collection district, for tho alleged rendering of false returns of manufactured tobacco, whereby the government has been defrauded, it is alleged, of thousands of dollars, legitimate tax on that aritcle, Of the factories seized one is in Elm street, in this city, and is alleged to be the property of Mr. Teckelberg; another, it is claimed by the officials, be- longs to Mesera, Buckner & Day, and is located in Brooklyn; the third, reported as being the property of Mr. Dreyfour, is situated in Greenpoint; the fourth, said to belong to Mr, H. Shurt, fs also in’ Greenpoint, and the remaining three are in Keyport, N. J, and aro reported as belonging respectively to Messrs, Bonnell & Cv., Mr, Warren and Mr. Creary. The manner in which the alleged frauds were dix. covered was as follows:—For some time past Mr. Isinc Harvey, chief inspector in the Thirty-second district, has been of the opinion that the revenue returns of manufactured tobacco wore greatly in default of the gross amount which should have been returned, and be accordingly determined, at the first opportunity. 10 make an jnvestization of the matter and ascertai: whore (if anywhore) lay the fault of the supposed di ciency. A few days ago he seized a lot of tobacco (thirty-nine barrels) stored in this city, which bore tho brand of a certain special inspector, and all purported to have been inspected by bim on one and the same day. Of this number thirty-one barrels came from one factory in Keyport, N. J., ailezed to belong to Messre, Bonnell & Go, Mr. Harvey had Inspector Lichtenhein detailed forthwith to visit the factory in Keyport and ascertain from tho special inspector whose brand appeared oa the barrels how many of these he had inspected for the manufacturer on the day in question, The special in- spector, on having this query put to him, referred to his book, and answored ‘‘fifteen,’? thus leaving sixteen bar- Tels as having been put on the market without the pres payinent of any revenue tax, By subsequent reference to the books in the Collector's office it appeared that on the day in question only fifteen barrels (instead of thirty-one) had been charged against the manufacturer referred to, thus giving rise to the Suspicion that there nad been between that party and the special inspector a collusion or understanding as to the fraud that had been perpetrated. Deputy Inspector Lichtenhein then set to work mak- ing investigations as to the returns of the two other tobacco factories in Keyport, and in the course of his labors found indices of fraudulent returns sufficient to warrant bim in making seizuro of the establishments, He accordingly did so, and these two, together with the one first seized, are now in charge of the government officials, Investigations afterwards made led to tne seiz- ure of the above mentioned factories in this city, in brooklyn and in Greenpoint, against the proprietors of which fraudulent returns are also alleged. Mr. Bonnell, however, denies that he had any interest whatever in the factory first seized in Keyport, or that he is in any wise a party to the frauds reported to have been perpetrated, The deficiency of tax in the case of the tories alone will, the officers say, amount tonot fifty thousand dollars. According to the provisions of the Internal Revenue law a bond should be required froin the manufacturers of $1,000 for each cutting ma- chine in actual use for the true return of chewing and smoking tobacco manufactured by said machine; and also of a specified amount (oad thousand for the manufac- tare of cigars. So loosely have the requirements of this Jaw been carried out by many of the inspect wever, that in many cases no such bonds have been dematidea, and none of the above mentioned manufacturers hi been asked to file any such documents until about a month ago, although (hey have been manfacturing un- interroptedly during the past year. Judging trom the energetic action now displayed, however, it would ap} that the government js determined in feture to collect the revenue tx on tobacco, Al the above cases will undergo immediate investigation, am: fac- than THE LATE WALL STREET ROBBERY. Alleged Singular Dereliction of the New York Police~Card from Mensrs. Munroe & Co. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, There are certain facts connected with the history of the robvery of our firm by the boys Packard and Clark, which, since their sentence, it is proper to make public as an act of justice to the police of Montreal. It will be recollected that the money was’ stolen on the 12th of December last, and the theft was discovered on the morn. ing of the 13th, The case was reported by us at Pollce Heartqnarters on the 15th, and officers were detailed there for the search, and official cireylars, with photographs, were sent by them to all the cities of the United States and the Canndas, In answer to one of these circulars, the Chief of Polic: of Moutreal, by loiter dated the 5th of January, notified the Superintendent of Polics in New York that the thieves were in Montreal, kept out of sizht by their confederates, but could be found—the only diM- culty being that under the exwadition treaty they cou'd not be atresied on the charg> of larceny, and instruc- tions wero asked for. This letter was received by the perintendeat on the 7th of January, Strange as it ay seem, no notice was ever taken of this letter by the lice authorities of New York, It was never answered, and we were never informed of its existence until the 4th of February, when it was brouglit to us by one of the detectives, who found it by chance in the detective office, We telegraphed the police of Montreal immedi- ately, and were informed by them that the boys bad purchased tickets at St. Hyacinthe for Portland early in January, to take a steamer for Europe, and we atter- wards learned that they sailed from there on the 13th— a week aiter the Superintendent had received the letter, By tho boys’ own diary it appears tbey left Montreal on the 3d of January, when they discovered that the police were looking for them. The Montreal police knew where they were, gave the proper authorities in New York notice a week before they left the country, and if tho latter bad done theit duty we had ample time, and ehenid bave secured the culprits and the bulk of the stoien money. We leave the public to judge where the blame lies, We do not think it rests with tho police of Mon- treal, JOHN MUNROE & (0, INSANE ASYLUMS, Statement of an Escaped Lunatic. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. The asylum where I was imprisoned is near Philadel. Phia, and is said to be one of the best of its class, It was clean and well ventilated, and many of the unfortunate inmates were perhaps better off there than they could have been at their homes, But with all this I was an eye witness constantly to occurrences that reminded me of the man@uvres of the famous master of Dotheboy's Hall, in “Nicholas Nickleby,’ Thesoft, unctuous man- ners of the chief officials to their visitors and patrons changed sometimes to brutal indifference towards those patients or prisoners whom they did not consider it Worth while to conciliate.

The neglect of the Jomt Board of last year to provide for the deficiency in the » of the Board of Education, amounting to $189,510, made it necessary to apply for relief to the Logtslature, which was granted. This sum, with the interest thereon, increases the general estimate $200,000. Claims have been presonted during the past year which accrued mainly during the years 1864 aud 1865, gnonaling 1 alijto more than $28,000, which amount was authorized by the Legislature to be raised upon certificates of indebtednéss, bie Janu- 1868, His Honor then vata rite fc be raised in accot Bathe of $60,000 fo the expenses ofthe Pullce Departsnout, to expen 1o ce ot roride tor tha pavicnt of ‘Afty additions) patrolison a nad lonor algo favors a liberal appropria- tion for educational purposes, and urges the fact in sup- Port of this Idea that the permanent success and pros- perity of the government If depends for fcbpale, and at & monious economy can be little iter than suicidal in its effect, To provide for the first mstalment on the bonds to be issued for purposes: and the interest accroing for the first year the sum of $115,200 is required to be raised during the year 1868. ‘The sum of $40,000 has been inserted for the increased compensation of the teachers of the public schools from the Ist of May, 1867, to the end of the present year, and another sum of $60,000 for the year 1863. The sum of $40,000 is inserted for the free distribution of school Books to all the pupils of public schools, and his Honor is of the opmion that the schools would be benefited by this arrangement and charitable distribution of books. With regard to the aggregate estimate for cleaning the streets of the city, the Mayor says:—'This matler Las been left as heretofore ip the hands of the Aldermen of the respective wards, It has been presumed that they are better acquainted with the wants of their own localities in this respect than any other can be; and the tax ia = being a ward tax the responsibility, if ang, has been | them.

Illustrations by A. W. Wand. Dick & Fitzgerald, New York. We cannot say much for the literary merit, scope or apparent purpose of this small volume, However the author says inthe title paze it is expressly for little people. But the illustrations, of which there are twen- six, are not without somo merit. Several are excellent caricatures of historical scenes, which afford good mate- rials for ridicule; as, for instance, Bull Run, General Pope falling back to Washington, ‘Admiral Goldsborough. taking the field, and others, which, if they were in the print shop windows, would attract attention and cause many asmile, The artist should exercise his undoubted: talent on a larger scale.
