DARING ROBBERY AT THE SMITHsoNIAN-
On Friday night daring attempt was made
to commit robbery at the Smithsonian Insti-
tute. 1t appears that the night Waterman, Mr..
Henry Holland, heard a noise caused by glass
being broken in that part of the building ap-
propriated TO the use Of the National Gallery.
He at on &c commenced search, and found that
the case containing the Japanese curiosities
had been broken into and q number of articles
taken, among them q handsome box inlaid
with gold. He proceeded further in his sx-
animation, and found that the outer glass of
the case containing the coin of different nations
had been cut. This case is of a double plate
glass, and Mr.. Holland supposed that the
noise he heard was occasioned by the fall of
some instrument which the burglar intended
to use to cut into the inner case. A soldier,
pretending to be asleep, was found stretched
upon the floor, and he was arrested and com
mItted to the Central Guardhouse: the box
above referred to and bottle of chloroform
having been found upon his person. The
prisoner gave his name as Edgar Packard,
ana on I'm examination before Justice Fergu-
son, ne said that he went into the museum
while under the influence of liquor, and
laid down and went TO sleep, and knew nothing
further until the Waterman woke him up, and
ne had an accompiice outside, to whom he
passed some of the articles, but as yet no other
arrests have been made. The box was return
ed to Professor Henry, and Packard was COM
mitted to Jail for court.
