WHO'S THE THIEF.-What a set of double-refined rascals have contrived to get upon Uncle Sam's shoulders! After having sucked the Treasury completely dry, they have at last commenced picking each other's pockets of something that will if possible secure the thieves the old cloak of office. The N. Y. Commercial, a Tory-Whig paper, gives the annexed account of a case which has excited some conversation in the political circles in Washington:-

"Mr. Poindexter, some time last summer, wrote a letter to Mr. Clay, of a confidential character, which Mr. Clay returned to him-at his own request for any thing we know of. By some unfair means this letter was abstracted from the papers of Mr. Poindexter, by some mischief maker unknown, and sent to the President. Mr. Tyler, supposing the letter belonged to Mr. Clay, very properly enclosed it to that gentleman, by whom it was again enclosed to the writer. Mr. Poindexter. The way in which Mr. Curtis's name came to be coupled with the transaction, was from a most unjust suspicion on the part of Mr. Poindexter, that Mr. C. had had some agency in the matter of bringing the letter before the President."
