BuRsLARy.--Last night the wood and coal Office
of @. NJ Reyes, Esq, on the corner Of 18th and
streets, was entered by burglars. Gunpowder was
pricked into theslock and then exploded by slow
match. Such was the force Of the explosion that
heavy piece OF the iron work was blown through
the roof; the roof was also raised somewhat and
other damage was done to the building The ex-
plosion took place about three o'clock this morn
ing.
Mr.. Reyes had probably been seen to place a
sum of money In the safe during the day. But as
he lodged the money safely in the bank that after
noon, there was nothing left for the thieves.
To obtain the tools to break open the office
with. the thieves broke into Mr.. Lsskey's wheel
wright shop. A chisel was found near the wood
yard which n ! Laskcy identified.
Several arr sts we're made before ten o'clock
this morning by officer Boss Those arrested were
dsrkies Alter examination they we're committed
to jail.

We call attention to our regular weekly report
OF the Cattle market for the reasons for the ad-
vance in tho price of beef cattle at Forty. fourth
street yesterday. 1t was regular Wall-street
operation. The speculators finding the prospect
of short supply favorable and the demand of
butchers good, laid out their plans for rise, and
accomplished it, suppose, to their full satsfac
ton. At any rate, they raised the price to eleven
cents, or fully an advance of one cent pound on
the meat making an advance upon last week OF
nearly twenty thousand dollars. There is no good
reason for this advance, for belief that it will
be permanent On the contrary, the consumption
,f strawberries hes always had the effect to re-
duce the consumption and price Of beef and it will
this year. Mark that, Messieurs Spectators.
