Messrs. Cook and Ridgley, late on Saturday

bed the tailoring establishment of Mr.. Thomas

went an examination before Walton Gray, esq.
who committed him to jail about 2 o'clock on
Sunday morning. The particulars of the arrest,
as far as we have been able to ascertain them,
are as follows: Back, in the early part Of last
week, called upon Mr. Bender a gentleman
who carries on the tailoring business in Liberty
street, and engaged him to make up cloak for
him, which he had with him already cut out.
When Mir, Bender brought the cloak home on
Saturday night he refused to pay for it; told
him he must call again as he had no money at
that time. lngoing home Mr.. Bender stopped
at an Ale house i'll Light-st where he told the
circumstance about the cloak being brought to
him by Back. A gentleman in the bar
room knowing that one of the articles stolen
from Mr. 1llden was a cloak already cut, and
from the circumstances of MIR. Tilden 'syard
joining that Of Back, he Immediately sus-
pected him as baing the robber. Information
was at once given to the police, who succeeded
in arresting him at a late hour at hisown house.
The cloak and three coats were found secreted
in the upper part Of the house, also sevesal pie
ces OF coth, silver spoons, SC. The officers and
all connected with the arrest deserve Ruch Gre
dit for the promptness with which they acted
Violent .ASSault-.4freSt. About o'clock last
night, violent assault was made upon the bar
keeper for Mr.. Marburg, Light st., on account
of refusing liquor TO drunken men, when he re-

alarm was given, but the party resisted until

watch, appeared and finally succeeded in ar
resting Thomas Galloway and Wm. Chicken,
as patty to the fracas. They were with much
difficulty taken TO the Centre watch-house, and
put back" by order of Capt. Mckinley, for
further examination. The officers deserve much
credit for their efficient action.
