CRIaINAL INTELLIGENCE.
Heavy n Important Barslary.

On Sunday MIR. j.. b. Woodward,
the prosecuting attorney in the case
against Leonard, ex County Trustee, &C
cnsed OF forging fifteen thousand dOiisrs
in coupons OF the Louisville RsilTcsd,
left the city for Washington, leaving the
documents in the Lsonard Ease among
mis- other papers. During the gale on
Sunday Eight his Office was entered by
some party or parties, evidently not pro-
fe-ssiOnal cTacksmen, from the c!Umsiuess
OF their movements, who searched every
boz, drawer and receptacle in the rooms,
taking of certain papers-thoss in the
Leonard Gaze, il is supposed, being
among them. This is not known posi-
lively, SIS Mr.. Woodward ia not let any
one know where be put them but as
they cannot be found it Is thought pretty
sGEe that they are among the stolen pa
pers. Among these papers we're the
forged coupons, almost the only evidence
against LsO1srd. Is telegTsphic mes
sage was seat to Woodward, bat IS he g
. on the wing" it probably ad not reach
him. Lst Us hope, for the ends OF jus
lice, that the documents refsrred to were
not found by the " burglars"

TIE SAcRED CoNcERF.-The weather
could scarcely have beer more inclem-
ent than it was last blight. TIE rain
pStteTed steadily from five O'Clock the
consequence Wss 3 tw0-thirGs audience
at the Sacred Concert for the benefit of
st. Lazarus Church, for which every
seat had previously teen taken. With
a precision such as usually ~Characteriz g
Prof. Teps 10 Gll that be undertakes, the
performers were promptly on the stage
and gave the opening chorus, the Hal
leluish to the Father by Beethoven,
with fms effect. Good drilling was sp-
parent, for the time was excellent, as
the spirit Of the singers was expressiveiy
devotional. The second chorus, by Rig
hini, blessed is the People" was, II
possible, q shade more artistic ia the per-
formance, the singers having recovered
the depressing eject OF a poor house.
The chorus Of Rossini, 1.-THE God Of
Israel," and the closing Praise God
from Whom All Blessings Flow" were
rendered 10 . style, with a precision,
nicely snd expression that surpassed
ANYTHING OF the kind ever heard in
Memphis. The solOists acquitted them
selves well, and the trio5 and quar-
tette were given with q care that
evidenced 8 great degrees OF culture,
PROMISING much for the future of the
new Philharmonic Society. Mr.. Martin,
Of Baltimore, who kindly lent the charms
Of his voice 60 enhance the occasion,
carried off lsurels ard high encOmiums
especially from the amateurs, ny whom
he was greeted warmly. He gave STA
6ella's Prayer" with 8 pRthOs and eff
fectiveness that surprised and pleased,
and made US wish for an occasion when
he could be heard more than once or
twice. For encore he gave, with Srtis-
tic finish and effect, "Ah sc Pure"
from Martha. "Ls Piainte," by Tepe,
Kstzsnbach, Sabatzky and HollenoeTg,
was 8 finished performance, as was the
"MeditatiOn" Of Gounoe, by the same
artists. The solos OF Mrs. B0ylan a3d
Mrs. Heating were encored, as was Mrs.
ChaPsBy. Mics Ennis showed by b ex-
cellence with which she rendered her
solo that good words and praises were
not lost upon her. Taken altogether we
think this the graDdsst success Of the
season, one To be repeated az short notice
for the benefit Of the many whe were
deferred from attending at Assembly
Hall by the miserable weather OF last
Light.
