LOOK OUT FOR BURGLARs!-Saturday night the Elk
change office OF Messrs. Paro & Co. on the corner
OF Main and Pearl streets, entered by one or more
burglars, who effected entrance by boring the VIM
dow shutter in twain; Monday night the same borers
attempted to enter the jewellery of Messs Hoyer
q Co, on Main street nearly opposite the Banks, but
detected by the inmates of the store and suddenly
abandoned the undertaking; Tuesday night they bored
panel out OF one Of the dores on the Eastern side
OF the Theatre, entered the building, RECALLED them
selves at the bar kept in the basement with the
best liquors it afforded, took basket ofcrackers two
valuable vioins and couple offues and after firing
or attempting to fire the building in different places
Withdrew. Where they operated last night we may
probable learn to day. This is certainly the bodest
band of burglars have ever had in our midst and
becomes the duty Of every good citizen TO aid
the police in endeavoring 10 detect and capture
the villains. As yet they have obtaned nothing vau
able-nothing which would repay them for Their haz-
ardous enterprises. 1t is, therefore scarcely reasonable
to suppose that they will their efforts until tney
succeed in robbmg some rich store OF its valuable con-
tents The strongest doors and windows yield most
readily TO their cunningy devised Instruments 10 mans
property is safe whilst they in our midst; let
every citizen, them be the alert Tn. police, we
believe are doing their utmost these burglars
but, il should be recoeced they are not gifted with
ubgulty whilst the wachen are in one portion eli their
ward, these chevaers may be operating in an opposite
direction.

cure anything beyond mere academical ed

Cuba ExPeditiOn..Death Of Lopez, &c.
The New Orleans Plcayune OF the 9Th
contains particulars Of the news received by
the Cherokee. The editor says:
The Cherokee has rarved at last. to put
an end TO doubt by exlinguIshing hope. She
brings the dismal news of the final failure OF
Tie Lopez enterprlse-the utter defeat and
almost determination of The expedition which
landed under Lopez, and The public execu-
iIon OF Lopez himself, as The penalty Tor his
unsucc, sSlui daring.
The city Is covered with gloom. All hearts
are eaddened by the dreadful inteiig, nee
and IN the universal grief II IL hardly pos
slbie TO write or speak with collected
thoughts. Our expectations, indie d, have
not been sanguine, since the severe blow
which, the enterprise received landing
from the loss OF The gallant band under Crit
tenden, and while The signs Of Creole help so
lavlshly rendered IN promises to their seli-de-
voted all es, were SO extremely scanty; tut
W. iad lingering h ,,,,s that the Cub;,ns were
not SO InDecle anu irIthIess as these ac-
counts show them to have been; and that
they would, at last, enable Lopez to do what
they have been Imploriug him SO long and
urgently TO do, in supplying them with nu-
cieus ior their own struggles Tor political
freedom. But our worst fears are more
than realized, and the event comes upon Us
with stunning force. 1t is black day for
New Orleans: il will mark dark era la the
destlni's oil Cuba. More oppressons more
conhscatlons more executions. but al last we
hope wise Providence will bring blessings
out OF suffering TO those who honestly aud
braveiy endure and strive for the right.
We make the following extracts from its
Havana Correspondence:

he was launched into eternity. by being gar
ro'ed. before an assembled multitude of at
least 5000 persons. At O'Clock he was led
from the Castle, accompanied in person by
his contessor and led by rope. with his arms
tied behind him. He walked with bold
step, and answered. with irmness 10 the con-
lessor. tie vas followed by some eight or
ten OF the priests in black gowns; Lopez
himself being dressed in white pants. a kind
OF white irock, reaching to just below his
knees, with a white cap upon his head. He
assembled the scatfold which was ten feet
high, and sat himselfin the seat of the gar
rote. His confessor presented the cross to
him; he took IL, and arose and addressed
few remarks to the people in Spanish. /
