CONVICTION NEWS.

BURGLAR CAUaaT.-Thero is nothing more
true than that every crime will be followed by
its appropriate punishment. The way of the
transgressor is hard, and however great the
efforts to conceal the crime, its perpetrator sell
dom escapes detection. An instance tending
to prove tho truth of this theory occurred in
our city yesterday. Some two or three months
ago the bookstore belonging to Mr.. Laird, on
Soott-street, was entered by SOME person un-
known, and an amount of valuables, consist
ing Of opera-glasses, gold pens, gold pencils,
&c, to the value Of about $3.50, carried off.
The proprietors of the store kept the matter as
secret as possible, and carefully avoided
making any open search but at the same time
kept close look out for any circumstance
which might lead to the detection of the thief.
For some days suspicion has rested on young
man named William Dwelly, who is manu-
faoturer of instruments in this city. Yester-
day he was arrested by Marshal Mclaughlin,
and brought to the jail. When there he con
tossed his guilt, and promised to restore such
articles as were still in his possession. What
that amount will be we were unable to learn.
He will probably have an opportunity to try
his mechanical skill at the State Capital, in the
service of the State.

COvINGToN, October 25, 1859.
Our attention has been drawn to an ordi-
nance, dated April 10, 1856, g." that it shall be
the duty of the Street Commissioner to keep
the ,osNs in good order in the different parts Of
the CITY," This ordinance passed under the
administration of w. Ernest as President of
Council, and Mr.. Shrock as Secretary.
In looking around and about, we can not find
any such wells, but upon the other hand they
are found to be covered up, and of but little
use to the community at large.
1t is hoped that the Street Commissioners
early attention will be called to this small mat.

the residents of our fourishing and commercial

SOUTHWEST PART OF THE CIrY.-We yester-
day took a stroll some distance up Russell,
Bank Lick and other streets in that vicinity,
and wore agreeably surprised at the progress
of improvement everywhere exhibited. Rus
sell has recently been Macadamized from the
stock-yards at Drovers' Inn, TO Eleventh
street, and the sidewalks are all undergoing
thorough renovation. The dwellings are
of substantial character, and display great
taste in construction. The yards form a con-
spicuous feature, nearly every dwelling hav-
ing one in front, beautifully ornamented with
shrubbery, &c. To such as are desrous of
possessing home in pleasant, and at the
samo time retired part of the city, we would
recommend this locality.
GDGeorge Goodman, one of the conf
dence men arrested on Monday evening last,
was brought before the Police Court yesterday
morning, but not being prepared for trial,
the case was continued till Thursday next.
RoBBERY.-The confectionery establishment
Of Mrs. Boyles, on Fifth-street, was robbed of
