BUReLARY-GRAND CHAsE.-A man named
Jas. Scott, who is said to be an old State
Prison bird, broke a pane of glass in the sa-
loon corner of | and Front streets, yesterday
morning, thereby enabling him to insert his
hand and raise the window, through which
he effected an entrance. Before entering,
with q praiseworthy desire not to disturb
the sumbers of those who did not sleep on
the premises, he pulled his boots and left them
on the outside After entering the saloon he
made q most thorough search for vauables
-propably struck the money draw first, and
getting only few bogus pieces, concluded
that mint of money, at least must be de-
posted somewhere about the premises, as
everything was turned topsy turvy. The
midnight excursionist having secured the bo-
gus coin, three dice and two plugsof tobacco,
decamped through the main entrance-the
window which he had entered Deputy Con
stable Speaight happened to be in the imme-
date vicinity, and noticing his exit, crossed
the street to ascertain the cause of the appa-
rition. Scott, forgetting his boots, decamp-
ed instanter, and was pursued by Spreaight,
who overhaued and accosted him on the
alley. While returning with him to the Sta
tion House and on reaching | street. the pri-
soner made break and ran through the same
alley toward street. He was pursued i'm
mediately by the officer and young man
named Gardner, carrier of the Mercury. The
latter came up with him, in front of the Saz
arac; Scott turned, while running, to look
back, and tripped and fell, falling an easy
prey to his pursuer. Officer Spreaight came
up Immediately, and held him ill few calls
of his whistle brought Deputy Sheriff Hardy
to his assistance. The two officers conduct
ed the prisoner to the Station House The
prisoners having previously put his hand in
his pocket contrary to the orders of the off.
GERS, on Withdrawing his hand received a
blow which scattered several of the bogus
pieces on the sidewalk When searched at
the Station House there was found on his
person two skeleton keys, showing that he is
a burglar by profession, Sac. Union, yester

SENATOR DOUGLAS ON THE STUMP-A SCRAP
OF HIS EARLY HGsToRY In speech at Win
chester ILL.,, delivered on the 7th August,
Mr.. Douglas said;
twenty-five years ago l entered this
town on foot, with my coat upon my arm,
oithoW an acquaintance IN thousand miles,
and witbouf kmOaoing ochere / could get money
to pay soeek's board Here | made the irst
six d)llars | ever earned in my life, and OBJ
tained the first regular occupation | ever
pursued. For the first time in my life then
felt that the responsibilities of manhood
were upon me, although l WIS under age, for
| had no one to advise with and knew no
one upon had right to call for assistance
and for friendship Here found the then
settlers of the country my friendo-my first
start in life was taken here, not only as a
private citizen but my first election to public
office by the people was conferred upon me
by those whom | am now addressing and by
their fathers a quarter of century has
passed, and that penniless oy stands before
you with heart full and gushing with senti-
ments with such associations and recolections

Roblnet In HOngkOng.

Our readers will remember. says the Alta,
the case of Mr.. Robinet, supercargo on the
Chilean ship Mercedes, which he loaded at
Hong kong with what purported to be val
liable cargo of silks for Valparaiso. After
the vessel had been at sea a short time, she
was set on fire. but the fire was put out; and
it was then discovered that the supposed
boxes of silk were filled with gunny bags
and other trash. The first account of this
affair derived from Valparaiso, stated that
Robinet had committed suicide. We after
wards learned that he had not committed
suicide but had hidden himself, and escaped
elandestinely from the vessel. The first story
about the fire, exposure of the nature Of the
cargo, and the supposed suicide OF Robnet
reached Hongkong. The China Mail says:
"The unfortunate gentleman alluded TO
was, he believes, Mr.. W. M. Robinet-and
that-much esteemed by this community
his death, with the circumstances which led
to it, has drawn forth expressions of com
misseration and regret"
The editor of the Hongkong Gazette looks
at it in another light. He says:
"When we first heard of Mr.. Robinet's
death by drowning. and were ignorant OF
the circumstances which led to it-remem
bering him as one who. on the occasion OF
the poisonings did this community good ser
vice by chartering the steamer Spark, and
hunting the prisoner to his lair i'll Macao, a
service for which an ungrateful public hardly
thanked him-we, too, felt regret for hi:
loss. But directly the circumstances which
led to his death came to our knowledge
what then were our feelings? Commissera
tion and regret? Pshaw Horror, disgust
rather.
"Does our cotemporary really desire the
public to give credit to his assumption that
w. NJ. Robinet was not guilty party to tho
earth and gunny bag shipment, as for sllb
and tea? Does he really believe that the
fire which led to the discovery was acciden
tai? He is particularly verdant If he does
think So
Underwriters should investigate this
matter. A cargo of gunny bags and earth il
not packed easily, and hardly without thu
cognizance of more than one of the princi
pals in u house. Mr.. Robinet we have beeI
assured, took a large sum of money will
him when he left this and though reported
drowned we shall not be surprised to hear o
his having swan ashore. Robinct's was no
the temperament to succumb under chea
of the kind described; the reason of the MAJ
who put pistol to Alum's head and threat
ened to blow his brains out if he resisted
was hardly likely to give way whilst pros
pect remained of getting at his victinizer
How very green We are ]"
The surmises of Robinet's having escaped
true as we know them to be, are very credi
table to the acuteness of the editor of tn
Gazette.

tag- There was quite an excitement in
Troy, New York, caused by the elopement
of a Methodist class leader with a sister OF
the church, young lady of the highest re-
spectability. The lady was young, intelli-
gent, and good looking; well calculated, OF
course, to attract and please. During the
revival of last winter she declared herself
under conviction for sin. was received on
probation by the Methodist Church. and af-
ter the usual limit of trial had expired, SO
strict was her couduet and so irreproachable
her demeanor, so far as others were able to
judge that she was taken into full member
ship. On the I'd inst, the class leader, anx-
ious for the good health of his wife, sent her
TO visit her mother in Schodack Thus re
lieved of her presence, he was free to consum-
mate the plans which seem to have been
agreed upon between himself and the woman
During several days past he has been selling
his wagons, horses, and other loose property !;
and, having got all things ready, went to the
depot met the woman, and took the cars for
the West He leaves behind him devoted
wife and three children.-Attantice erchdnge.

Though far from thee rover
Can forget the tie Divine,

A DmEMMA.-Among the most unscrupu-
lous assailants of Senator Douglas in the
Southern States is the Richmond South, ed
tied 10y the pugnacious Pryor. The offense
of Douglas consists in his refusal to give up
a principle to an expedient. For this the
South and its allies denounce him as having
gone over to the Republicans, and as ont of
the pale of the Democratic party Curious
enough, this same ultra newspaper, while
denouncing Douglas as a Republican, cor
daily accepts and endorses the claims of one
John Letcher to the Democratic nomination
of Governor of Virginia, Notwithstanding
this same John Letcher encouraged and ap
plauded II certain DR.. Ruffner, first to deliv
er and then to print lecture as full Of rank
ntislavery sentiments as could be written--
the lecture to be the platform of a plan for
the emancipation of the slaves of Western
Virginia. This was eleven years ago, it is
true, but John Letcher was rathe. a middle.
nged man then, as he is rather an old man
now; and when John patted Ruffner on the
back, Douglas was fighting for the South like
hero in the National Congress. Douglas
stands exactly where he always stood, and
he is prescribed and classed as an Abolition
ist; while honest John Letcher. who only re-
canted his Abolitionism when he became a
candidate for Governor in this year of 1858,
is the especial candidate Of The South for
Governor of Virginia Would not this di-
emma make good scene in the farce called

LADIES HooPs OR SKIRrs.-A single Con-
necticut manufacturer consumes two thou
sand pounds of steel every week in produc-
Enlistment in Newark, New Jersey, called
the marble skirt palace, six hundred girls are
employed in manufacturing spring skirts.
They produce 5000 daily, embodying all the
recent improvements in rendering them light
and ampliticative. This great concern oc
cupies four immense floors of only one room
each, with every possible convenience attach
ed to each floor. There are cloak and bon
net rooms for the girls, dressing rooms and
retiring-rooms, with mirrors, hydrant water,
and everything that the finest lady could
desire or ought to have. In addition the pro-
prietors have provided handsome library
for the use of the girls. Each floor is bloom
ing with beauty like flower garden, and
the noise of hundreds of sewing machines is
like the iutier of birds wings commingled
with the humming of bees. Thus these mar
vellous inventions, which have substituted
iron hands and fingers for the delicate nerves
and muscles of woman, are gradually re-
moving from her fair shoulders the needle
womans curse. The demand for hooped
skirts could not have been supplied without
the aid of sewing machines and steam. The
hlighted generation of the gentler sex, who
grew pale and languid over the needle, is
already succeeded by fresh and blooming
array of this common sisterhood, who have
now before them the life of artists instead Of
that of slaves - Press.

ST. FRANcIs' CArHEDRAL-Complaints have
been made to us of the manner in which the
foundation of the new Catholic cathedral on
Vallejo street, is being laid. 1t is charged
that large portion of the work has been
carried up to the height of three or four feet
without sufficient quantity of mortar, and
that an attempt has been made to conceal
the defect by smearing plaster on the outside
of the walls. We are not prepared to vouch
for the truth of this statement. 1t is proper
to state that the charge originates with some
of the hands who have been dismissed from
the work, one of whom offered this morning
to make affidavit to what he charged. This
matter should be Immediately looked into
by those having care of the building. A
large number of persons will as matter of
course, attend the cathedral from time to time
! for religious purposes. If the foundation of
the building is defective, the lives Of hun
dreds of persons may be sacrificed to the
avarice Of speculators - S. F. Bulletin,
