BURGLARY on LAKE STEEEr.-A Mr..
Seymour, who lives on Lake Street, between
Bond and Erie, called at the Police Station
about ten O'Clock yesterday evening, and
made the following statement: His father,
Whs lives with hin, and occupies front room
in the house, had been packing up his valise
preparatory to departure FOR KelIey's Island.
In the vAliss he had placed several valuable
papers, among them drafts for sl0O each, to
the amount Of four hundred dollars, and had
also packed small strong box, containing
800 in greenbacks, $50 in silver, and the
rest in bills on Ohio and New York State
banks. he left the room and the
house fer 3 moment, leaving = lamp
burning, and lccking the door. On
his return, within Eve minutes, he found that
the door had been opened, the lock having
been picked, and that the candle was out
On relighting the candle, he discovered that
the Talise was gone. No clue WAS found as
to the robbsr.
The case looks very curious.

FROM PORT ROYAL.

NEW YORK, October 2l.
The Port Royal New South Of the I7th
mas the following;
The United States steamer Bienyille Of
Western Gulf Squadron touched In this
1srbor on her way 70 Philadelphia FOR re-
pairs She brings important intelligence
which had been received at New Orleans
just before her departure, that grand ex-
oeditiOn, under Major General Banks, had
effected landing at Point Isabel, Texas, q
small place at the mouth Of tbs Rio Grsude
River, with two corps, one under Franklin
and the other under Major General whose
name We did not learn. - -.es
The successful occupation Of Point IsG-
bel will give US in a short time the pos
session Of Brownvins, which is opposite
Nattamorss, Mexico, and the grand en-
trepot of the rebels, from which munitions
Of war and needed supplies are trans
ferred across the Rio Grande TO their from
,ier by small boats. A large portion Of
he Confederate cotton which las been sent
I, Europe to purchase supplies, has passed
hrough BroWnVille to anglo-rebel block
sde runners lying on the Mexican or neU-
tral side of the river. OF course our Ocou-
phbAVu VI LlU pAHOc y III NAGgL10AAy put . a9NoP
10 the illegal traffic, and 81 the same time
will enable our blOckaders to close the
river with small force.
In one other matter the oocupa ion Of
Texas will have an important bearing. It
giH enable the Government 70 keep pow
erful corps Of observation on the very bor-
ders of the thsater Of French operations
IN Mexico, which may be made quickly
az iilable in case cur complicated relations
with Napoleon should result "a war with
that gIasping and unprincipled potentate.
Major General Banks, always active and
sTer victorious, will soon be in possession
Of ell important points in Texas, and prse-
ticslly of the entire State. 1t Was under
stood that another corps Of ais army is 90
operating with him from the direction Of
the Red River country. We anticipate
glorious news from that interesting quar-
Ter by the next steamer. r.l
