HUH Vi money, watches anu JeWeIIy 10 l1e
value Of 5000. Mr.. Shane is widower with
cut children, and had rented his house TO a
man named Richard Chesterfield, and boarded
with him. In coming home about O'Clock
in the evening he found the house locked up,
and not being able to get in, without forcing
the door, was compelled to do it. After going
to his room he found three Of his trunks bro
ken open and every valuable they contained
taken away. A small square box containing
the lewelry was missing. Mr.. Shane has no
doubt but what the robbery was committed by
Chesterfield, as neither him nor his wife have
been seen since. The neighbors state they left
together about O'Clock in the evening. Ches-
terfield is by trade shoemaker, and had been
living in the house but three weeks. Tele-
graphic dispatches, descriptive of his person
were Immediately sent to Philadelphia and
Washington.
Recovered. We mentioned a short time since.
the loss of some $4,000, from off the schooner
Portia, lying in Hampton Roads, whilst the
bag which contained the money was being
passed from the schooner to one of the Nor
folk line of steamers 1t accidentally slipped
overheard and sunk to the bottom, and re-
ward of one-fourth the amount was offered for
its recovery. We since learn that the whole
sum has been recovered, by some persons from
Norfolk, they receiving one-fourth of course
for their exerton.
A Stein Boat. The new steamer Cambridge.
Capt. J. ID. Turner, which we noticed as hav-
ing gone on her trial trip to Cambridge, Dor
chester county, Md, on Wednesday morning,
returned yesterday, having on board the u. S.
Inspectors, her builders and owners. An even
ing paper states that, "her time of going to
Cambridge, with the tide, distance of about
so miles, from wharf TO wharf, was hours and
40 seconds, and returning, against the tide, she
made the trip in hours and 3S seconds, or
about II miles an hour, her machinery improv-
ing by use. She carried steam from 25 TO 80
lbs, and the average revolutions to the square
inch of her engine, was g." She will COM
mence her regular trips betN cen this city and
Cambridge, on the first of the coming week.

Lancaster, Pa, and conveyed to Philadelphia,
and lodged in prison, on the charges of com

duu IIdUCdStGT, 10 await the re-
QUESTION of the Governor of Maryland. They

the public, for some time to come.
The Liberty Engine House. We perceive
that the members Of this active and efficient
fire company, have had their Engine house, on
the corner ofLiber'y, Park and Fayette streets,
repaired and completely renovated. The whole
interior of the building has been re-modeled
ND tod nKolo do hon -.
the lower story, opening towards Baltimore st.,
so that their apparatus can pass in and out, in
that direction. The cupola, belfiy, and whole
outside of the building has also been reprinted
causing the building to present neat nd
cheerful aspect, in strong contrast with its for.
mer sombre and antique appearance. The inn
provements made, were much needed, and are
credltable to the spirit of the company.
