,Impreving lsime.--A young black fcI-
low hy tho name Of Samuel Harris, who
was liberated from,ths Renitentiary on
Friday morning last. by the expiration
of his sentsnce for petit larceny, was
brought before the Police Magistrates on
Saturday, with considerable number
of siIverspoons, which. he had been at
tempting to sell, and which were strong
~ suspected to have been stolen. In the
sequel il turned out, that having former
ly served as a waiter in a fashionable
boarding house, No. 66 Broadway, and
being well acquainted with the location
| of the premises, he had resolved while
in the penitentiary to rob the house i'm
mediately upon his liberation, and for
that purpose, between one and two o.
clock at night, entered the house in the
rear from New street, raised the latch of
the back door, and went up stairs into
the dining-rsom, from the sideboard Of
which he took forty-fcur. silver table
spoons, with teaspoons, forks, and other
Silvsr ware, to tho value Of about three
hundred dollars About O'Clock in the
morning he was detected by Mr.. lock
wood, ih;C Cherry-streets who gave infor-
nation to the police Office, which led tn
his arrest, and the restoration to the ow-
ner Of all the property taken. He fully
confessed the offence, and with good
deal Of drollsry stated, that he had almost
died of flaughter while coming out Of the
house, to think what panic Mrs. Boyd
would be in when she came to set the
breakfast table. ~.
CLAY SAILoRs.-It is known, says the N.
York Standard, that meetings of Seamen,
friendly and unfrendly to Gen. Jackson,
up with flags and sireatners, mounted on
trucks, were paraded through the streets,
with music. by both parties. The Clay Boat,
on Thursday, filed with Seamcn, and Band
of Music, passed down Chathsm.street, and
on coming in front Of Tammany Hall the fol.
lowing scene took place--"Hallo Pilot,
heave TO here."-"No--no-not here--this
is Tammany and Jackson" "Dont care q
d-n-hsayc to, I tell you, and let's give
three cheers fer the Hero Of New. Orleans" !"
The Boat stopped--the cheers were gwen
and tho Bsnd struck up "Yankee Dsodle."
saI Os
sation was aroused about town to day BY the
discovery of o quantity of human bones and
flesh. under Deering's Bridge. Parts Of Eve
different bodies are enumerated by Or. Nc.
Lellen and DR.. Clark, who presume them to
have been used for anatomical purpcses.-
These bodies are supposed, 10 be those Of
men. women, and children. Clothes, such
as stockings. shirts, q Sheet DO. were also
found. A coroner's inquest holden by Mr.,
Sweet, coroner, report that "the cause Of the
death to them 10 unkBown.p No suspicion
is vet hazarded as to whose remains they are.
They have been decently inferred this after
noon at the aims house.
We regret to learn that the celebrated
Lecturer on Phrenology. DR.. Spurzheim,
died on Saturday evening between II and
l2 o'clock, after a plinfai illness Of several
days. 81. III .-.-.' .-....,,
A few days previous to recent election,
candidate for tao office of sheriff was thus
accvs,cd by neighbor-"Well sir, hope
you will be elected for would rather be
hong by you than any body else% sand J."
replied the candidate, "would rather hang
you than any body else."
We learn that two persons lately died at
the upper end Of Sullivan street from swal-
lowing poison by mistake, having taken il
from a medicine chest which had been
brought in ship to this city, supposing the
articles they selected to be Msgnesia and
cream Of tarier. The great danger oftaking
medicine, without getting it from On apoth
ecsry who understands his profession, cannot
be too often inculcsted. In this instapce it
has been lamentably illustrated.

necticut Courant states that there is now

sand miles IN diameter. On Saturday

Suns centre, nearly half way towards his
western lmb.-Bosfon atlas.
