DA RING BURGLARIES.

The daring gang of burglars that- have for a
long time infested the Commercial !toad and its vicinity, con-
tinue their offences mere daring than ever, and elude all detec-
tion. On Monday night last, the house of Mr. Irrington, No.
55, Jubilee-place, Commercial-road, was broken into, and pion-
dertsi to a very considerable amount in plate, wearing apparel,
site. ; a watch, among a quantity of plate they took, is likely to
be traced, which leaves some ground to hope the thieves will
be brought to justice. The window shutters were forced
open, and the technical phrase of " milling the glaze" was
here completely verified. The glass was broken in pieces, and
the thieves entered at the window.. The doors leading from
room to room in the house were all open, when Mr. Irrington
came down in the morning; It bore more the appearance of
fire, than the effect ofluffians. A circular has been sent round
to the different Police Offices, whose activity we hope will soon
bring the depredators to justice.
Yesterday morning, about half past six o'clock, just as the
watchmen had retired from duty, some thieves forced an en-
trance into the parlour window of Mr. Armstrong, coal.mer.
chant, Princes-square, by means of a centre-bit. They broke
open the drawers, and carried away a great quantity of table
and body linen, and other articles, to a considerable amount.
A hat, supposed to belong to one of the villains, was left be,

Last night, about II o'clock, the house of Mrs. Donovan, in
Tooley-street, tea-dealer, was broken open duri tuf her absence for
a few minutes, by some villians; who accomplished their pur-
pose by means of an iron crow-bar, and took from the premises
several articles of wearing-apparel, table-linen, and a pair of
sheets, which last they had the audacity to take from off the
bed on which a child six years old lay sleeping, who, on his
mother's return, said somebody moved him, and he thought
it was her, and fell asleep again.
The same evening. sonic thieves entered the front parlour of
Mrs. Pearson, No. 4, George-street, Suffolk-street, .Borough,
by the window from the street, while she herself vas sitting ,at
tea with her family in the back parlour. They succeeded, with-
out disturbing any one, in carrying oil-about W. worth of wear-
ing apparel and linen of different sorts, together with a hind-
some folio edition of Henry's' Bible and Testament, in two.
volumes, worth 41. • a Catechism belonging to mica the children
was shortly afterwards picked up in the street adjoining, but no
trace of the depredators bas been discovered.
In contiequence of the many daring robberies lately corn.
mined in this district several additional local constables are
about to be sworn in for the protection of the inhabitants, and.
the detection of the swarms of thieves that infeat the neigh-
bourhood.

Two young Gentlemen, both in love with
one , young Lady, and both determined to lead her to the
altar of Hymen, accidentally met in the New Inn, For.

and silent, though occasionally eyeing each other with sullen
looks ; but when the glass began to circulate pretty freely, the
" rival lovers" began to speak, and only spoke to oppose one
another ; high words ensued, and a challenge was given and ae.

siderably advanced, and the " high-roettled young men de-
parted to make ready. One of them rode to lirechin, and was
there long before the break of day, applying for a second.
None of his friends, however, were disposed to attend him.
This was a serious disappointment ; it was now within an
hour of his time, he was twelve miles from the place of
meeting, and his honour was at stake ; he ordered a " chaise
and four" at the' Swan . Inn, and posted back to Forfar, de-
termined to take the field alone ; but just as he was stepping
from the carriage at the New Inn, he was seized by die Pmcii.
