 Quick and CleUer Work. On Wednesday af- terdoon. Mir. Thomas King, natter, at the cor uer of Canal and Greenwich streets, had a val. nahle gold watch stolen from his shop while he was serving a customer, but ny whom 1t was stolen he could not tell. He missed tt a short time afterwards, whilst two persons were in the shop. and he thinking that they had stolen the watch, detained them. charged them with the robbery, and was abOutt" send for police ofIicer-just at that moment, A. M. c. Smith. one of our active and intelligent officers, walked into Mr. Kings store. and asked if he had mt had gold watch stolen from him short time before. "I have," said Mr. King, "and these are the two men that stole it." "Are you quite sure that they stole it !" said Smith. "Iam quite certain" said MT. King. "fnr there has been no one else in the store that could have taken it.'- " Recolect aod tell me if there has not been an elderly man in the store this afternoon. who gave you two shilIings for hat" said Smith. /" There has been such a person" said MT. King. "And he stole your watch" replied Smith; e. have him in custOdy-his name IS Pendleberry, and here's your gold watch, which took from him;" at the same time, to Mr. Kings great surprise, handing over to h hSurAh n01A eak hsAh OvA than an hour before. Mr. King was delight ed, and would probably have let the two men go, whom he had detained, hut Smith. whose knowledge ofthe various grades ofrogues and rascals in this city is scarcely inferior to that of old Hays himself--gave one look at the men. and instantly recognized them to be Ja. cob Hopper. and James Hadden, two old counterfeiters; he immediately looked at a $lO bill m the hank of Pennsylvania. which they had been trying to pass on Mr. King. and pronounced it to he a counterfeit. They de- nied knowing that the bill was a bad one, and protested that they had no more of the money about them. Smith, however, searched them closely. and like the honest and valuable fel- lows who arrested Major Andre, he had the sagacity to search inside their boots, where he found some more counterfeit bills; he also found some good money on them. He then took them to the Police Office. whence they were committed to prison, together with Pen dleberry, whom Smith had taken to Bride well, short time previous thus lodging three thieves in prison, recovering stolen property, and detecting counterfeit money, in less than three hours from the time of the robbery. :.
