The heat at O'Clock this orning exceeded

Portable At half past o'clock the thermometer

A most uaripS outrage and robbery has come to
light THIS morning Persons passing ih- boot store
OF Mr.. Bdrncasrle, at the corner al Fuueth aud
Walnut street, about O'clock this morning, were
induced 10 enter Wy hearing means from w him.
The windows and door We're closed, but vn trying
the latter, 1t was iOuud 10 he unlocked, anu o.,
enteilng, the proprietor was found us beneath
the counter, with gag IN his mouth, aud u, Most
lnsensiole from eAhaustiou. Alter receiving me-
dlcal assistance he recovered hiS consc BUSINESS,
and WAS able 10 relato the following narrative OF
tue circumstances attending The robbery Of his
store. In the course Of estrrday afternoon, a
man called and purchased a pair OF boots, Tor
winch he paid, but lett them there, stating that he
would cali III the evening, alter the theatre was
out, and take them with hun. Mr.. Bdrncaste
consented to this arrangement and remained at
his store until after III O'Clock, when, thinking the
purchaser oi the boots d Il not intend u come that
nigh, he closed the store, and was Just ready 70
leave, when the man entered, accompanied by
two Others. MIR. Barnca-,le- handed the boots TO
the purchaser, who desired HIM TO inhibition his
straps, as he intended trying them While in
the act OF doing this he was seized by one OF the
men, another piaioned his arms, and the third
shut the door. He was then securely tied, hand
which the robbers proceeded to rifle his
pocsets,and rumrnage among bis papers for valu.
abies. They took his pocket book, containing
S4OO and some other articles, including several
pairs OF boots. He remained IN the position they
left him until released 10y those attracted by his
means this morning. The boots which had been
purchased by the man who called IN the after
noon, were found on the floor near where the
first struggle took place, and the store presented
Il strange scene Of confusion. Some few pieces
OF silver were found ON the floor, which had been
dropped while they were Tiiilug his pockets. He
describes Two of the men as ueing English, from
their appearance. This case presents nyste-
rlous aspect IN which ever way 1t is viewed. A
watch box is on the corner OF the street, not more
than twenty feet from the spot where Mr.. b. was
found tied, aud in which awachman is supposed
TO be occasionally during the night either asleep
or awake. The vicinity OF these boxes is general
ly believed TO be better guarded than any oiheI
portion OF the beat allotts TO the guardians of the
night, from their known predilection TO spend
more time there than in walking through the
streets they are expected to guard. Mr. b., how
ever, may have spent the night in a state OF in
sensibliy, from the bruises received in the strug
gle, combined with the effect of the heat, and
having been IN state to attract the nouce OF the
watchman by his cries or means. An invesuga-
ton OF the circumstances IS now gong on before
our worthy Mayor, and If possible the matter
will be We'll silted; s, Will postpone speculatlons
unit the result Is made known The gully ones
will, hope be brought to justice, for the charac-
ter Of the outrage exceeds any thing that was ever
perpetratrd in THIS vicinity
1t is now reported from Washington that The
Senate have taken .wo votes IN relation 10 the
Mexican peace proposition Of The President, and
that the subject will probably be Submitted to
both houses in a confidential message. IL Is based
upon the suggest,ons Of MIR. Black, our Consul TO
Mexico, who has assured the government that the
Mexican people desire peace.
