Bold Robbery. On Wednesday evening last
between and 10 o'clock, another one of those
bold and daring robberies, which appear to
have become so frequent Of late, was perpetra-
ted upon the person ola countryman, named
Simpson, from Virginia. 1t appears that he
was in a house rather famed of late, in a
locality known as the "Meadow;n and that
while there a party of three persons made
themselves very sociable and friendly, so much
so, that they all got more ballast aboard than
they could navigate under. Simpson at last
took leave Of the party and left the house, but
was followed out, and in North, near Bath
street, was knocked down by a blow from one
ofthe three, and his pocket book containing
notes TO the amount of $500 taken out of his
pocket, the robbers Immediately making them.
selves scarce. The police having obtained in
| formation of the circumstances set themselves
to work, and yesterday officer Stockett arrest
ed young man named George Ely, who is
charged with being one of the party who com.
mitted the act. He was taken before Justice
Schaeffer who held him to bail in the sum O
| $500 TO appear for further examination. The
other two have as yet eluded the officers, but
we trust that they may be arrested and receive
their Just merits.

Baltimore Mechanics Our mechanics have
become so famed for their skill in the construc-
ton of work, that it is no uncommon thing for
them to receive orders from various and dis.
tant sections of the country, but it is very rare
that work is sent to Baltimore to be repaired
We saw yesterday at the shop of Mr.. John
Burnum, Successor to Jos. Share s Sons,) a
suction engine which had been sent on, all the
way from New Orleans, in order that our I'M
rivalled mechanics should repair and re-pant
it. The suction was built by Messrs. Joseph
Share s. Sons, some three or four years since
We also saw at the rooms of Mr.. S. S. Donald
son, the two end panels which he has re-paint,
ed-on the one the figures of Hercules and We
nus, and on the other figure representing the
Genius of America. The painting is very
handsome and is done with that artists usua
skill and finish. 1t is high compliment &c
our Mechanics to have work from other cities tc
build, but it is certainly higher one, to have
it sent on merely for the purpose of being re
paired and reprinted.

sumo its session and business on Monday
