Correspondence Of the Herald


WASHINGTON, d. c.,


Sunday morning, 5 O'Clock
Further Movements relative to the Defalcatiom-
Col. McNulty still in the city-No arrest nor
,ca,ramt issued.


JAMES e. BENNETT, EsQ.:-


The resolution that passed the House yesterday,
authorizing the President to commence criminal
prosecution against G. McNulty, the late Clerk of
the House, on the charge of embezzling the public
moneys placed in his profession, was presented TO
President Tyler this afternoon by Mr.. French, the
newly elected Clerk. This mode of authorization
of prosecution, is certainly novel one, the
luton has only passed one branch of Congress- and
the charges have not been presented in the shape
of affidavit, which is constitutionaly necessary
before warrant can issue. Col. McNulty is at
his lodgings in this city, and will remain and enter
into security for his appearance, as soon as any
securities have every confidence, that he has not
appropriated dollar of the public money to his
use, and they allege that they are prepared to
enter his suretes In any prosecution TO be COM
menced against him. Mr.. Kershaw, his account
ing clerk, is at his lodgings, where he will remain
to aid the late clerk In the settlement of his ac
counts. Thus stands affairs at present, but few
days will determine ALL You may hear more to-
morrow.


Thomas Banks, who was shot few days since
by hotel keeper by the name of Owen, at the
Bridge Hotel, is fast recovering. One duck shot
entered below his right eye, one in his cheek, and
two In his breast, which were prevented from
passing through by a silk under shirt.
