The RunaIo Courier or tha 12th saws :

Early Sunday morning, as the propeller Foun-
tain City was approaching this port from Chicago
the Watchman Of the steamer, J. Callahan, de-
tected thief in the stateroom of a passenger
whose watch he had stolen and secreted on his
person. It was subsequently discovered that the
same thief had robbed the second cook of the
propeller of his watch and chain, and the boot
black, small boy, of his scanty earnings for
blacking the boots Of passengers on the trip. The
thief proved to be one Thomas Lewis, a deck.
hand, who was working his passage from Chicago
to this city, to ply his trade during the coming
week. Superintendent Reynolds took possession
| of the offender.

Between seven and eight O'Clock yesterday
morning, young man. well attired, applied to a
clerk in the office of Mr.. A. Marchand, on Common
street. between st, Charles and Carondelet Streets
for the return of watch which he had left there
on the preceding Saturday. The clerk, who was
the only person connected with the establishment
in the office at the time, went to the rear to the
safe, in which the watch had been placed. After
very brief absence he returned to the front with
the watch, and, as he did SO, perceived the young
man leaving. At the instant, some one on the
street apprised him that case of diamonds in the
window had been stolen and he saw the applicant
for the watch and another man cross the street
and go into the st. Charles Hotel. It was found
that thrty-fVe hundred dollars worth of jewelry
had been stolen from the window. The natural
supposition Is that the man who asked for the
watch sought to take the clerk away from the
front, while confederate plundered the window.
The clerk pursued the two men through the hotel,
saw them emerge into GraVier street, and there
enter cab, which conveyed them to the rear of
the city. 1t is understood the police have nfor-
nation sufficient to enable them to identify and
bring to justice the audacious thieves.

any other class Of the community as to the re-

RoBBERY.--Yesterday morning Mr.. A.
J. Wells, a merchant from Highland,
Galloway County, KY, was robbed of
s4,375 by a printer(?) by the name Of
VIM. Fl. Palmer, as he supposes, who
recently arrived in this city direct from
the South. 1t appears that at some point
below, Mr.. W. fell in with Palmer, who
being strapped" had his fair paid to
this city by Mr.. W. Yesterday morning,
the two in company, started around the
city, and began drinking together, and
finally proposition was made to visit a
house of ill-fame, which they did, and
Mr.. w. supposes he was drugged at that
place, as he did not wake up for con-
siderable time When he did, his friend
was gone and his money too. Mr.. W.
does not know what house he visited,
where il is located, or what transpired
after he got there.
The officers were in search of Palmer
last night, but he was nowhere to be
found. having left the city, no doubt, q
once. Palmer is about six feet high
light complexion, light hair, and has 6
lump on the left side of his neck, i'm
mediately under the jaw, and ia abou
twenfy-eight years old. We presume b,
regarded it "fat take" and took him

FIRE.-Last night about 81 o'clock,
the canal mills, situated in the upper
part Of the city, took fire and burned
down, being total loss. II seems that
the Ere originated ia the second story
of the building, and the flames were
quickly communicated to the roof. We
reached the spot soon after the slarm
was given, and at that time the engine
was still in motion. 1t being q light
frame building it was soon consumed,
and made large fire. The wind was
strong, and at one time it seemed as if
half dozen buildings would take FIRE
despite the efforts used to prevent it
from communicating, but by the con
slant application Of water by buckets
the dwelling houses we're all saved,
The mill, the office and the storage
house were all consumed in short space
of time. The fire engine arrived too
late to be of material service. Some
flour and other articles, together With
the safe, books, papers &c, were saved
We were told that there were about
1000 bushels of wheat DESTROYED
There was but small insurance on the
property-ihe amount we could not
learn.
The loss, we are told, will probably
reach SIS, 900 at least
