A NJ Bener, Canadian, ,elegrsphed to this city

silk dress from Mrs. II. Freeman brought before
his Honor for examination.
Capt Wilkinson stated that he received Teegraphic
Despatch from Baltimore on Wednesday forenoon appri
sing him Of the departure from place Of man AIMED
Bener, who robbed Mrs Freeman Of note for 800 and
other articles of clothing He mentioned as havnga
wife and small dog with ring around his neck. He
awaited the arrival Of the Northern hafpast three
O'Clock on Wednesday evening The rush from the cars
their arrival great that be unable iden.
tifr person answering the description As the crowd
thinned of he observed young man walking hastily
across the street accompanied by small black dog and
entering jewellers His suspicion Of this indivdu
al was at once aroused though there apparent
hct in his lone appearance unaccompaniedby any female
with the account contained in the Dispatch. However
believing probable that he might have put his lie into
an omnibus without his observing him, he resolved upon
keeping sharp look for him. The individual pro-
ceeded in haste to the Petersburg Railroad Depot while
his pursuer promptly followed Having reached the Depot
Cspt w. walked toWards him. tapped him the shou
aud asked if his name was not Beuer. The reply was
no. lie gave some name Frenchied AZ to be unin.
Eligible to Capt w. lie said his wife aud child were
in the cars aud by inquiry of her could be ascerained
that his name not "Bener." He then proceeded
the cars i'll company with his willy pursuer. Bener,
they both entered the cars towards his wife, who
seated at the end from where Capt wkin-
stood, and having whispered to her, Immediately
darted through a window, and made away in hot
haste lie Immediately pursued, and after a hard
chase through the intricate passages along the Basin he
arrested near Ha1alrs Mills.
The Mayor ordered him TO be remanded to jail to be
brought up Tor further examination to-day.
His wife and child have been properly provided for.
This was certainly meritorous the part of Capt
Wilkinson With the slight marks of identity which at
first he enabled discern and the disadvantages
such Always attend such effort during the confusion
which prevails upon the arrival Of the cars
effected under circumstances which fully attest the
shrewdness and capacity Of Capt w in what relates TO
Police tactics. We doubt il any city in the Union can
boast Of a efficient Police force than Richmond
While their efficiency is exemplary nay proverbia in its
characteristics Of eminent shreBdne3s TACT there
grace end agreeable demeanor in connection with IT,
which dvests such vocation in their hands of the OBJ
noKious features which it in the estimation of
many, aud gives it the consderate phase which
becoming Of the obg ltons Of duty" cannot fail
to apply in such a connection.

OnsTRUcTIoSs-Th case Of Daniel Tote who. come
days ago, summoned charge Of leaving pile Of
stones 9th street, called up II was continued till
yesterday to enable the obstruction to be removed in
which event further proceedings be discontinued
Mr.. Tote being asked by his Honor IL the stones we're
removed replied that there one to be seen on the
| spo. a. large a "han egg.n
This was the which brought down the censure OF
the Petersburg Express Capt White, inst because he
noticed that the which caused the obstruction COM
pliined Of, were intended for Petersburg We have no
idea Of being subjected proiaced Inconvenience a.
in this case for the benefit Of Others much less con-
cede What would ourselves claim eujoy-tho use
Of public Ihorouahfaro during several diys and for
purpose not Of pressing necessous character. To
yield such privilege for day two, longer
would be but and proper bu. tolerate such an
obstruction for weeks Of public Streets
passes We should suppose, the very eHrasagant limits
which even the Express TO assign courtesy.
