BURGLARS ABRoAD.-The yictualling cell
lar of Messrs. Daniel Gill 6 Son, at the foot
OF Exchange street, was entered Sunday night
through the kitchen window, by gang of
burglars, who helped themselves, literally, to
the eatables, stole a suit ofclothing, belonging
to man residing on one of the islands, which
was in the desk, and about ten dollars worth
of goods.
The same gang, as is supposed, next entered
the iron shop of Mr.. John G. Brooks, on Com
mercial street, by means of side window,
and pried open the outer door of the safe,
which was an old fashioned Gaylor The in
ner door was closed but not locked, and the
handle was off The rosues did not know that
twas unlocked, and thought, probably, that
1t would be useless to try that, and so left it.
The iron store of Messrs. A. E. Stevens G.
Co. was, also, entered, probably by the same
gang, who burst open the back door. Opera
tions were tried upon the safe, one of Ker-
shaw's patent, by pouring powder into the
lock through the key-hole, and then igniting
it by means of fuse and matches. But
though the powder exploded, no injury was
done to the safe, and they could not get the
this store or that of MT. BROOKS. IN Ine
former, piece of the fuse and some of the
matches were found, also the paper by which
they poured the powder into the lock. The
party did not make much by their raid on
Sunday night.
