Some of our readers have occasion to know that several sums of money mailed in this city, and in other offices, for places beyond Philadelphia within a few months past, never reached their proper destination. The Department at Washington having been informed of the fact, measures were adopted to ascertain the reason, and suspicion has finally led to the arrest of Thos. J. Hough, late a clerk in the Phila. office. He had a hearing yesterday before the U. S. Commissioner in that city on a charge of embezzling money from letters, and was committed for a further hearing before the District Court to day.—Newark Daily.
