Bremen merchants to Frederick l.. Joanvahrs Co.,
OF Walker street. New York, and two packages con-
signed to Boston merchants were stolen from the
Bremen and Hamburg docks respectively. No clue
could be obtained to the thieves until Wednesday
evening, when laborer named Edward Titterman

the latter solemnly denied having ever seen the
vehicle LAWYER gave his name as Lang, but litter
man showed that his real name was Lawler, and
that he resides at No. ia Mulberry street, New York.
In the meantime Chief Donavan repaired to New
