The hardy adyenturory who but few

Several days since, it was discovered in

the California Chronicle, on the corner of
Union anG Battery streets, thai quantity of
valuable goods had been abstracted, and
Capt. Schockley, who has charge OF the es-
adjustment, applied at the Police Office for
aid To detect the offender The goods alb
strlctc3 were silks and fine linens. which
had apparently been abstractcd piece by piece
and day after day from the cases, which as
they were cmpticd, were broken up and put
out uf the way. Such was the conclusion as
to the tactics of the thief, when the theft was
discovered. The offender was evidently
some person familiar with the building and
with the goods, aud suspicion was aroused
against Mr.. Asa Combs, cmbioyed as clerk
in the Warehouse \ search warrant was
placed ia the hands Of Captain Mcdonald,
and MIR Couibs was soon arresled. and a por-

probably be examined before the Recorder
on saturday, the 10th. 1t was discovered
that Combs, after emptying the eases and
breaking them up, had carried the pieces to
the top Of the house, aud thrown them down
into the chimney fue. The total value of the
goods stolen is supposed to be 50 1000, and Of
this perhaps 81 900 may be recovered. 1t
appears that he took out one piece Of goods
AT a time, aud secrcted it; and upon going
out at noon and IN the evening, stuck it un-
