WHOLESALE ROBBERY.
A startling discovery, which has occasioned a considerable sensation in the canton Tessin and the neighborhood of the Italian Lakes, has been made at Como. It appears that the entire staff of the Larian Company which owns the fine steamers that run on Lake Como, have for years past been systematically robbing their employers. Every employee of the company, from the captains to the cabin boys, is implicated. They had formed themselves into a fraternity, a veritable "Camorra" ; ticket? were forged, books falsified, and the members of the associa. tion met every month to verify the accounts and divide the spoil. The company remained in ignorance of these depredations until they were informed by a dismissed steward, whose silence his confederates had refused to purchase by continuing to allow bin 1 a share of the plunder. Nearly all the employees are now in oustody.
