MORE FRAUDS ON THE REVENUE.
Yesterday we published an account of the arrest of three Germans, passengers on board the steamer Washington, charged with attempting to smuggle between ten and thirteen thousand dollars worth of jewelry, and in to-day's paper may be found the particulars of the seizure of about sixteen thousand dollars worth of silks. The goods were seized at the store of Mr. Pastacoli, 87 Pearl street, by Inspector Riell, who appears to have been very adroit in ferreting out and bringing to light this attempt to defraud the treasury.
