seem that locks are no security against their
depredations And as TO the city watch,
whose duty it is to guard our property by
night, the numerous recent robbenes show
that there is little dependence to be placed

probably communicated from the furnace to
the deck, and thence to the cotton in the
hold. There were $40 bales on board about
500 of which were destroyed. The boat was

Joseph Hauston, attorney at law, young
man of prepossessing exterior, convicted by
his own confession, of stealing a valuable
cloak from the City Hotel, the property of
John r.. Marshall, was on Saturday put TO
the bar of the Court of Sessions, New York,

judgment, that he should be imprisoned in
the State Prison at Sing Sing, at hard labor,
for the term of five years.
