that one Of the thieves had concealed himself in
The store and opened it to his confreres about the
middle Of the night, and the robbery was then
easy. One of the robbers was captured by the up
town police and the remaining three were arrested
by Officer CHAPMAN. The goods have been mostly
recovered, and the robbers will have q chance Of
ornamenting the next Court Of Sessions.
MAYORS CoURT, February 23.-Henry Sanders,
colored commission merchant, who 5nakes the sell
ing Of fish specially, and who had eighteen
strings in his tray and permit allowing the sale
Of only ten was fined IS, and the fish were sent to
the Orphan House. r,@
A man, who attempted to lodge at s residence
where he didn't board, was furnished with board
IN the Guard House till morning, and was allowed
on leaving to deposit IS green-back for the bene-
fit of the city.
A rusty looking man and 8 female in state Of
decay, were separately brought up for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct, and were each fined
S5, which they will probably take out by spending
few days at the <Ststion," and observing the in
ternal economy Of that much frequented establish
ment.
PoIIoE.-The neat appearance presented By the
police yesterday made them objects OF general in
terest At an inspection held at A.M.:by the
Captain, at the Lower Guard House, the soldierly
look and department Of the men attracted con
siderable attention The new uniforms are not
SNOWY, but are just what was wanted to give the
corps dressy look. A double breasted frock coat
of dark blue cloth has been substituted for the
blouse formerly worn. These are ornamented by
brass buttons, bearing the seal Of the city upon
them. The pants are Of gray cloth, trimmed with
black, and, when in full Dress, a policeman might
easily be mistaken for soldier. Few cities can
boast OF police force in better state Of organza
ton, or who are more perfect III every detail and
the new uniform will serve to keep alive that
esprit de corps that is so necessary TO- the exist
ence of such bodies Capt s1awAID and his
brother oflcerH have always prided themselves
upon the apSearance Of the force, and Rave tsken
deep interest IN the men, and their improved
looks is owing to the parental care bestowed upon
them.
TE BELLs.-Yesterday, was emphatically quiet
Sunday. Beyond the faint tirlle of the Orphan
House hen, not sound could be heard and those
reigioualy ;nclined were puzzled to, know at what
time the services commenced. Even the sepul-
chral notes Of St. Mchseps solitary bell were hrsh-
ed, and the:solemn Stiffness that pervaded every
place was startling. Since the arrival Of the Glad-
stone, the workmen have been busily engaged in
removing the old dmbers from the belfry and pre-:
pairing the way forth erection OF those brought
over from England. It was supposed that thesold
ti.ehe.s would answer all the purpo REQUIRED
but on examination they were found to be affected
by the dry rot, and it became necessary TO substi
lutte those furnished. In order to accomplish this
the pell was propped up. aud its sound ceased for
q few days. The Vestry are making strenuous
efforts to obtain possession II the bells and have
already, by paying portion Of the dues, secured
Two, the largest and Of the smaller ones These
will be put in position in few days. and the public
can then Judge Of their tones and ascertain il they
have lost any Of the sweetness thaA formerly char
acterized them. & ~, @5 .:5S Z:
COTTON STEALMG.-This crime has been on the
increase lately, and We have been called upon to
chronicle several cases Of this description. The
temptations offered are innnmerahle, and if it was
not 1or the efficacy Of the police force cotton hefts
would be far more frequent. The wharyes and
1a'lfoad yards suffer the most from these depreda-
aons ana It requires the greatest vigilance Of the
Tatehmen to prevent their occurrence. s (; Y,
