BuRGLARr.-About half past two O'Clock
Thursday morning, Waterman Boze, of the
night police, discovered ligh. in the watch aud
on the Southern side of Main. between 18th and
18th streets. The ateness of the hour induced
Mr. B. to suspect that something was wrong,
and under that belief, he stepped to the front
door and raped, at the same time calling Mr..
Pearce's name. No response was given, but
the light In the store was instantly extinguished.
His s1spcions being thus fully confirmed, he
gave the signal for assistance, and ran around
into an alley in rear of the sto e. for the purpose
OF cutting OFT the retreat of the burglars. Just
as he reached the alley, he saw a man run out
at the side door in rear of the store. cross the
alley, enter yard opposite, and 90 up stairs into
a room over the kitchen. Several watchmen
having by this time reached the alley, they ac-
companied Mr.. Boze into the kitchen, where
they found three negro men, who gave their
names as Cornelius, John and Nelson Subse-
quently, upon searching the premises, they dis
covered another negro fellow secreted in the cell
lar. He was hauled out. and together with the
three found in the kitchen, was taken to the
cage. Upon examining the premises, they
found that the burglars had entered Mr.. Pearce's
store from the rear. Mr.. Edwin Powell, who
sleeps in room adjoining the store, upon being
aroused by the watchmen, stated that it was Gus
tomary to place the key which unlocked the
rear door leading into the store, iu desk in the
passage; that he had placed it there on retiring,
and that the burglars had obtained the key and
entered the store, while he slept. The negroes
were searched; but only n few rings and breast
pins were found upon the person of one of them.
The presumpt ion is, therefore, that Mr.. Boze
succeeded in detecting them before they had full
ly matured their plans Much credit is due this
faithful guardian for his vigilance, aud we trust
he may be placed in the line of promotion.
Yesterday morning the negroes were brought
before the Mayor. They all proved to be slaves
Cornelius and John belonging to MIR. VIM. A,
Mayo, Jasper to Mr.. ]. Porter, and Nelson to
a gentleman whose name we did not learn. His
Honour committed them to Jail for the purpose
of sending them before court of Oyer aud Ter
miner, for trial.

s'Having seized him and put him into the skiff,
they started back, but had not proceeded far

hatchet and assaulted of them, wounding
him very seriously. A scuff1e ensued, in which
