ANOTHER EXTENSIVE ROBBERY !!

Ten Thousand Dollars arorM Of Je,ceiry stolen!!
Last evening, about half past 7 O'Clock, the
extensive Jewelry Store of Messrs. Davis Palm
er d Co., s. Washington St, corner of Court
Ayenue, was entered by false keys, and stripped
Of ali the valuable watches and jewelry within
the reach of the robbers, to the amount it IS fear
ed, of nearly TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
One OF the partners of this firm always sleeps
in the store, and there is no time in tie twenty
four hours that it is ever left alone, except
sionaly, for an hour in the evening. Last
evening, about half past o'clock, the young
man closed the store, and went out for short
time, leaving lamp burning, and fastening the
doors, intending to return, and sleep there
usual. 1t was very dark and stormy, and it is
presumed that the rogues entered the store
soon the young man left. They opened two
difficult locks without injuriug either; and having
stripped the store of its valuables, went quietly
out, leaving the front door just closed but latch
ed.
The robbery was discovered about o'clock, so
that the rogues had less than an hour and half
20 perform their work, and escape with the plum
der. They took every valuable article they could
find, in both front windows, and in % squares Of
show cases
From the windows they took one diamond pin,
worth 800, (Which some of our readers may
have seen,) two elegant silver tea sets, worth
$3.50 each---one rich plated tea set, worth 900
fifteen or twenty gold watches, worth from $50
to 500 each-and large lot of small but valua-
BILE articles, which it is almost impossible to ascer
Jain at present.
From the showcases they took One Hundred
and Twenty-Five Gold Lever and Lepine Watch
es Of the most valuable kind 800 500 ounces
of silver spoons and forks; and the entire collec-
ton of rich and valuable pins, rings, brooches,
and ornaments of every description, large lot
OF elegant gold spectacles, nearly pint OF gold
thimbes, and various other kinds of valuable
lewelry, to an amount as yet unknown
1t is evident that the robbers knew what they
were about, as they selected all the gold watches
and the most valuable jewelry and left large
number OF common silver watches, plain silver
ware, lind inferior jewelry entirely untouched
All the watches lost were tie property of
Messrs Davis, Palmer d Co Those belonging
to customers had fortunately been put away in a
drawer, and probably were not discovered by the
robbers,
From the windows and cases. the robbers pro-
ceeded to the iron safe, which was not locked
and contained much valuable jewelry, deposited
there for safe keeping by jewellers in the neigh
borhood.
The Williams made clean work of it throughout,
and it is evident that they are old and experienced
hands. They left no instruments behind them,
except long screw driver, much bent, and a
small white handled penknife, with two long
blades with very sharp points.
This is one the boldest and most extensive
.robberies that has occurred in this city for many
years lit is evident that there is gang of exper-
ienced burglars among us, and our citizens should
be prepared as much as possible to resist their
midnights attacks. In this case, the Police have
been put upon tho watcb-a largo reward will
