Last week two young villains were arrested,
charged with breaking into foundry, and carrying
off lot of old copper. Since then facts have
been elected which proves them to have belonged
TO a gang of daring BURGERS, for whom sort at
plumber appears to have been too hot too heavy
The names Of these candidates fer Sing Sing are
James Sloate and Riley Thorn; and among other vii
lanics it turns out they robbed the store Ne. los
South street, about ten days since, Of gold watches
and jewellery to the value Of $3.50
Impudent Brutaity.-Bad as the numerous riots
and assaults, which have lately dsgraced this city,
have been, still we think the following specimen OF
brutality out.herods Herod even here in New York.
On Sunday night, young gentleman and two ladies
we're standing on the steps ofMr. John NJ Belden's
house in Cherry Street. taking leave OF that gentle
man, when a couple of big, w.hsaded, shoulder
of mutton-fsted Irishme.i, came up and applied
expression TO of the ladies, and being
demonstrated with by her protec the rutan
he was in free country, and began to illustrate his
ideas OF liberty by humping his huge FIST the silk
hat Of the other lady, and crushing il as fiat
founder. The gentle-mes Cd who were with these
ladies, instead Of lcvellin the brutes with paving
ty procured, and then regular fight came
off, which was at length suppressed by Assistant
Alderman Conner, who contrived to have the two
Irishmen secured and conducted safely TO the Halls
OF Justice. They gave their names Cornelius
Donovan and John Regan, and in the of their
examination it cane out that they had been in this
land of liberty three days! The magistrate held
them tn bail in the sum Of $1,000.
Thrilling and Mysterious. Saturday night
there fire at a smoke-house in Washington
street, which, besides doing considerable damage,
caused the dispersion OF a number OF laborers and
other persons who resided about the premises. In
this state Of things, the parties interested in "the
salvage" employed some persons to stay on the
spot, and on Monday one Of those individuals came
TO Justice Taylor with a most awful long face, and
said, that a murder had certainly been com
mitted."
"Indsedr replied the justice, "that's no novelty
now-a-days, for we have had five week regularly
lately"
"Ah but Judge" replies the man, they were all
open ones like now this 10 a regular mysterious
matter and therefore ought to be inquired into. See
here, and he produced very fine female skull and
two jaw bones denuded of their teeth. :" DO you
know, sir, where found them a.
Cant guess for the soul of me, says the Magis-
trate.
"why, sir, you never would believe it il ! didn't
know il for a fact but took them out Of man
bed who worked at the smoke house which was
burnt up on Saturday,
"Well,' says the Justice, I" come then with me
and will see the Coroner"
OF course an investigation instituted, when il
turned out that picking and packing subjects, and
packing and picking beef and pork had been carried
under the same roof but whether with or without
the connivance Of the proprietor, could not be
tanned. The probability is that il was little Pri-
vate speculation OF the werkmen, and that the dead
bodies and the prime cuts and hams were kept
tirely separate and distinct At any rate IL any
smoked specimens Of what oRce walked on two legs
have been sold and eaten sand wches the german
offers did not find il out, and the old say
what the eye don't the heart never greves after
