BURGLARIEs.-The last two DAYS have
been prolific of robberies and burglaries. On
Saturday evening about six O'Clock, some
william got into the cellar under Ferguson's
Jewelry Store, forced up a trap door in the
floor, and had almost effected an entrance,
when the return of one of the Clerks from
supper, stopped his operations and compelled
an immediate retreat. He "took nothing by
his motion" but lost a good big crow-bar,
and a cold-chisel. which were found in the
cellar after he had gone.
About IL O'Clock of the same night, the
house Of Washington Smith, in he south
east part of the city, was entered, but Mrs.
Smith was awakened by the thlet's move
ments, and gave the alarm, which prevented
any robbery being committed there.
Yesterday about half past IL O'Clock, the
Exchange Office of G.. S. Hamar, snder the
American House, was entered, while the pro-
prietoT was at dinner, and robbed of $4,000
in gold, silver, and bills. A part of the bills
were deprecated, and the loss Mr.. Hamar
thinks equal to $1,000. The thief worked
very rapidly to get his booty, as Mr., Hamar
was only absent fifteen minutes. He appears
to have entered through some back window,
and concealed himself till MI. FL. went out,
and then by prying of a light plank, which
partiiioned the office from the rest of the eel
lar, he got into the room and helped him.
self.
He took 500 in gold, and $50 in silver,
$500 on the Bank of Attica, Buffalo, n. Y.
and a fifty dollar bill on the Farmers Bank
of Virginia. The rest of the money consis-
ted of Watson's checks, some "Union Plank
Road Company's" bills, and bills of the State
Bark of Ohio and Indiana.
Immediate search was made for the robber
but without avail, when we were at the room
yesterday evening. He probably made his
escape on some of the trains starting about
that time. Officers are on the hunt of him,
and we trust we shall yet hear Of his capture.
The frequency of these attempts lately
should puG our citizens on their guard. 1t is
very probable that our city is infested with a
gang of professional house breakers and rob-
bers, and since the senseless abolition of the
watch, it behooves every man to be cautions.

Add el-Kader Replenishing His
"Family."


The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Times thus writes:
"Abd-el- Kader, as you know, lives at the
expense of the French government. After
his convalescence from the attack of cholera,
his visit to his great master, the Emperor Ma
poleon, in whose presence he can think only
of the light of the sun, and after having OBJ
tanned the permission 10 reside for the future
at Damascus, the great ex-Emir, in going to
his new residence, passed through CONSTANT
nople, where, in consideration of the happy
turn in his fortunes, he treated himself to a
considerable addition to his harem. In look-
ing at the footing of the Emir's expenses for
the year, the officer charged with that duty
found the enormous total of four hundred
thousand francs-three hundred thousand
more than his allowance. Curious 10 see the
items of this bill, the officer found, among
debts at Broussa, a large bill for the keeping
and replenishing of his family as well rs
his Slave-merchant's bill at Constantinople,
which latter amounted to the handsome ig-
ure of thirty thousand francs, and gave as
items the names Of eight Circassian girls, (the
price has augmented since the Allied inva-
sion.) During the Emir's five years resi-
dence at the prison of Amboise, the govern
ment allowed foc sixteen wives and apropor
tomato number Of children. But the virtu-
Gus Pays, willing to stand the Amboise emu
meration, demurs vigorously against the Con-
stantinople addition, and intimates, though it
does not say so, that the government ought
not to pay it. But there would be an evident
improp1ety in the refusal on the part of the
French government to pay the debts of Its
distinguished prisoner of State, and the debt
will be paid, with an admonition to the
French officer in charge to guard against any
such luxurious e~xtravagances in the future

Startling Disclosure of Crime

Our community was startled on Monday
last by the intelligence thIt a resident of this
city, a husband and a father, connected with
and late an officer in one of our churches, had
been arrested, charged with a crime most re-
voting in its character. Mr.. Artemis Hewitt
was arrested and brought before Justice Paul
X. Wright, on a charge preferred against him
by j.. Stickney, upon having committed a
rape upon the little motherless daughter OF
the latter, now about IA years of age, who
about seven years since Was adopted by Hew-
lit, and has since borne his name. A lew
days ago the girl made some statements to
the little daughter of a neighbor, which COM
ing to the ears of the parents of the latter,
led to the astonishing revelations which have
followed. Two of our citizens Immediately
visited Orangeville to lay the matter b,fore
The uncle of the girl, and by chance found
her father there on "a visit. His feelings may
be imagined better than described, and he
vowed ia take Hewitt's life. He was persua-
ded to bring them after to trial, and proceed
ings were instituted as above.
The examination occupied a large share
of the day, and the testimony was of the
most direct and conclusive character; and in
deed the full confession Of Hewitt, through
out, substantiates the statements Of the girl.
The facts In brief are; that for the last seven
years Hewitt has made his little adopted
dau ,hter the minister to his brutal lusts. and
this frequently, and in his own family, even
down to a short time before his arrest, ac-
complishina his hellish purposes. and forcing
her submission to his pleasures. The matter
has caused the profoundest excitement here.

town, and has heretofore borne an irreproach-
able character, and was but recently a mem

WEALTH OF TRINITY CHURCH, New York.
The Rev. VIM Berrian has published a
pamphlet with a view Of disclosing the pub
lie mind of erroneous views of the great
wealth Of Trinity Church, in New York
The Philadelphia Inquirer thus sums up his
statements:
According to the statement prepared by
the rector, with the fullest opportunity of in
formation, the gross revenue of the corpora
ton up to that time, from ground rents, pew
rents, and every other source, had never at
any one time reached a higher point than
S57, 932. After deducting the interest on the
debt of about $4,000, the nett income in
l847 was only S33,l30 But continues Mr..
Berrian, in order to present the whole SUBJ
ject with frankness and candor, and to leave
no room for suspicion in honorable minds of
evasion or doubt, it is proper to state that
from great changes in the general value of
property within the last few years, the in
come of Trinity Church has been materially
increased. But what is ii, with this some
what sudden and unexpected advantage, at
the present time? The gross amount of it
from ground rents, pew rents, and every other
source was, on the 1st of May last, S89,486.
After deducting. then, the interest on its
present debt of S648,913, (Which was main
ly incurred by her benefactions to others,)
amounting to S34,7SI. the nett income of
Trinity Church is precisely, neither more nor
less than $54, 705. This he does not regard
as particularly enormous for a great CORPORA
tio5, with aiarge landed property, in a great
and hourishing city. He afirms, moreover,
that from the time the church reached the
point where her income exceeded her reason
able wants, she has in due proportion dispers-
ed them, with a freedom and liberality which
have made her wealth a great blessing. He
then proceeds to illustrate, and states many
facts in corroboration. Trinity has given
again and again to other churches, has assist
ed aged and decayed~ clergymen, and distrib-
uted its means in the most benevolent and
generous spirit.
In another passage he estimates the amount
of the gifts, loans, and grants of Trinity at
$2,5OO.00O-an amount, he says, more than
equal to two-thirds the value Of the estate,
excepting the church edifce and burial
grounds, which now actually remains.

The VICES OF THE IrAL1ANs.-Governor

THE VICES OF THE ITALIANs.-Governor
Anthony Of the Providence Journal, writes
from Naples as follows:
There is nothing for which | pity the Ital-
ian people more than for their vices. There
can be nothing more pitiable than to see a
people, naturally brave, intelligent, and high
spirited, inhabiting the most beautiful portion
OF the globe, and surrounded by the proudest
monument of ancient civilization, sinking
irto a race of petty cheats and swindlers;
with no noble occupations, and no manly as
pirations; with so little courage in the men,
and so little virtue in the women. That
there are conspicuous exceptions to this the
events Of the recent struggle prove; but that
such is the too general character, the lament
able failure Of that struggle and the present
condition Of the people are by no means the
only evidences. There are more than indi-
vidual exceptions also, as the heroic resistance
of Venice against Austria, and Rome against
France attest; a resistance that might well
illustrate the brightest annals of Italy. But
such is the sad destiny Of the land, where
the people nave the strength and the virtue
to maintain a government. they are overpow-
cred by foreign invasion.

of Fort Desmoines, who arrived in town a
few days since, that on Saturday evening,
the 9Th ulL, a young man started from Fort
Dodge with a pair of horses and wagon to go
home, and losing his way on the prairie was
frozen to death. His team was also froze
dead. When found the next day, the dead
horses were very muddy, showing that they
had been in a slough. The young man
probably succeeded in getting them out, and
being chilled and bewildered tied them to a
tree, where they were found dead. The body
of the young man was found some twenty oil
thirty rods from his team.
