DARING ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.

Perhaps on few occasions has a more dating atte.npt
to break into a house been made than on the resent
occasion. Notwithstanding the execution of two, and
the conviction of no less than seventeen persons item
the neighbourhood of Westminster, the marauders ap.
pear undaunted. Yesterday evening they attemptei to
get into the house No. 80, Vincent-square, Westminster.
Failing at the front, they had recourse to the back, an:t
at the early hour of half-past nine in the evening scaled
the wall of a rope-ground, and got into the garden_
here they were again foiled. They, however, ap.
peared determined not to leave without something,
and began to strip the lead work, not even leaving the
pipes that run up the house, through one of which they
cut, but to their dismay the main was on, and the water
rushed out ❑pon them in so strong a body that they
were obliged to retreat. The noise attracted the atten-
tion of a faithful dog belonging to the watchman en
the beat, but teo late to secure the thieves.—This is Ic
less than the third attempt at robbery within a fort-
night in that neighbourhood.
