=. DARING BuRaLARY.-A bold and successful bur-
glary was committed, on the night Of the 21st, at
the premises Of Mr.. JAS. KENNY, in Greenhi1l
street, by three colored men named Berwick, Jas.
Harris or Harrison, and John shedeD. An en-
trance was effected by placing q plank against the
second story window, and the parties once inside
soon made free With Mr.. KENRY's property. An
iron chest, containing sl1o in gold, $40 OF s12 in
silver, sf3s in igreenbaoks, $40 or $50 in State
money, and $1,000 in Confederate money, besi1es
q haKd dozen silver spoons, papers, title Deeds 10,
were carefully removed and handed ont Of the win
dow. Mr. KENNY's pockets were then rifed of O
portmonaie containg two 500 bills; and the entire
operation performed with such secrecy that the
loss was not discovered until theine1t morning.
Notice Of the robbery was furnished to Lieut..
HENDR1oKs at11 A; NJ on Friday, and by P. M two
Of the birda; Harriia and Shsdell, were aged On
receiving. the inforrna6on;. Lieut.. H. l,laced the
matter in the hands OF Officers MEMR an . FARRELL,
but the whole force were notified. At O'Clock
Officers HEDr and DAVIS struck the trail, and by
following if up, in company with those first nam
ed, they succeeded in a1restng the parties at a
house in Cannon street, where they were attend
ing q dance. The noble pain. had rugged them
selves upin the height OF the fashion, and the
clothes would have reflected credit on any tailor.
1t was the best disguise they could have assumed,
and the metanotp phosis was so great a. almost to
'stagger the willy detectives, but they knew their
game and fine feathers could not lead them
'astrayl
s. An Investigation at the Office elected not only
the mode of robbery, but where the goods had
been concealed. After leaving the house, the chest
was taken to the corner OF King and Lamboll
streets and broken open with an axe ), tho money
and yaluables were secured and distributed among.
them, while the papers and Confederate money were
hidden in an outhouse; the chest was then thrown
down q dry well. Their first investment was the
gorgeous array. in which they had decked them.
Selves and which was considerably taken from
them, and their old CLOTHES restored. On search
ing their persons seve nty-fYe dollars in gold and
dollars in currency was found on Harris,
snd on sheden twenty live dollars in gold and
some currency, besides the pooket-book, which was
subsequently identified by Mr.. KENNY. It is
supposed that Berwick, who is slil at large, has
the remainder Of the money that is not yet spent.
The chest and papers were found at the corner Of
King and LamboH streets, as has been stated, and
| on being shown to Mr.. KENNY were instantly re-
cognized as his property.
The arrest was made under peculiarly difficult
circumstances, and on but slight cue. The Off
GERS who conducted the affair deserve the greatest
praise for the diligence which was used to effect
the arrest. The criminals are old and noted
offenders, and are we'll acquainted with the interior
of the jail They have only recently left that in
stitution, being part of those pardoned by the
Governor. The disastrous result Of his clemency
has been clearly proved, and the community will
sleep easier when they know that these rascals are
again secured. Berwick's haunts are well known,
and it will not be long before the ilustrious trio
will be again united in jail bonds.
