CITY INT DILIGENCE

A BOLD BURGLARY.-SOme time during
this morning daring burglary was committed
at Ninth and Chestnut streets, at the saloon
known as Delmonico's, of which Robert Fox, the
manager OF the New American Theatre, is the
proprietor. The bartenders having it in charge
closed at IL o'clock last night, and went home.
The mode OF entrance adopted was ingenious
and skilful. The windows on Ninth street are
enclosed with blinds up to the middle of the win
dow, the upperNpart being simply stained glass.
The thieves cut with diamond pane of glass in
this portion Of the window large enough to admit
a mans hand, and by slipping a bolt succeeded
in lowering the upper section. The door was
then forced open tfom the inside and the con-
federates admitted. Fortunately there was only
some $40 or Sl5 in theNtill which was all In postal
currency. This the thieves appropriated, toge-
ther with about $3.50 worth of fine brandy in
bottles, and liberal supply OF cigars and
tobacco The noise and confusion incident to
the incoming, year rendered the act of robbery
one OF small difficulty, but it indicates the bold
ness OF the knaves, that on our most public
street, and within call of the two principal
hotels OF the city, so bold burglary could be
committed. The block bounded by Eighth and
Ninth, Chesnut and Walnut, has become the
stamping ground of thieves and scoundrels, and
we trust our new Mayor will pay particular at
tention to the dens of infamy with which that
locality abounds The closing, Of a few of the
groggeries in that vicinity would add very much
to the profit OF those resident there.
NEW FERRY FACILITIES - THE NEW
STEAMER "CAMDEN."-The Camden and Philadel-
phia Steam Ferry Boat Company have Just COM
pleted another handsome and capacious steam
ferry boat which has been christened the CAM
den. She is a consort of the DetaUdre, and is
built from the same model, but is ten feet
longer. The hull was constructed by Taylor 4
Matthias, of Camden keel, 100 feet; length on
deck; 142 feet; breadth of beam, % feet; extreme
width over decks, 40 feet; depth of hold, feet.
She has superior engines made by Neate & Levy,
OF Philadelphia; her cylinder measures 32 inches,
with feet stroke. The joiner work was done
by Thomas Jones, of Camden; and the painting
by James II. Denny OF Camden. The Camden
made her trial trip on last Saturday afternoon,
having on board Messrs. Gatzmer, Mcknight,
and Markley, Directors of the Company, with
large number of invited guests. The trial was
eminently successful. After partaking of re-
treshments speeches were made by several gen.
tlemen-amone the most interesting of which
was that of William H. Gatzmer, ESD, who gave
history of the Delaware ferTiage systems for
the past thirty years. The Company have erected
new slips; have two frstclass boats on the line;
have arranged for running night boat during
the new year, etc. They deserve great credit for
their endeavors to accommodate the public with
cheap and comfortable terriage, and will doubt
less receive proper amount of patronage. The
whole OF the work alluded to was supervised by
Captain A. b. Frazer, Superintendent OF the
Company.
