THE CAMP STREET koBBERY.-Captain
Malone and Detective Harris, having been
fully apprised of the burglary in Messrs.
Burckett & Sons grocery, Camp street, at
once concluded that Slug Harper, Dan
Moran and Hoosier Joe were the manipula-
tors. The officers first went for the cab
that carried off the plumber. The vehicle
was found, and in the bottom was found
some tea. This was sufficient tor safer
clue, when other circumstances were closely
followed up. The men were found and ar
rested, and some of the stolen goods dis
covered where the rascals thought that no
body could find them. The burglary was a
bold one, but the officers named were equal
to the task Of ferreting out the case.

Three members Of the Committee of Fifty
one appeared at the rooms of the Metropol-
itan Police Board, yesterday, and were
formally received by the Commissioners.
There was little side talk INDUCED in,
when one of the committeeman heard some
wholesome truths. The Commissioners did
not altogether receive the three as gentle
men specially delegated by any regular
power; but they were informed that, no
matter how they came, all necessary infor-
nation would be furnished, the same as to
any known citizen seeking knowledge. So
far as we know, the committee simply con-
ferred with the Commissioners as if some
what doubtful concerning their course, per-
haps thinking that they were exceeding
the powers delegated to the Fifty-one.

A SAD ACCIDENT.-One of the most dis
tressing casualties that it has ever become
our painful duty to record, occurred on the
afternoon of Friday last at the head of
Harvey's canal, opposite the Sixth District
of this city, whereby devoted father and
fond mother were suddenly bereft of their
child, a boy four and a half years old. While
Mr.. Edward Broe, foreman Of the canal, was
engaged in shifting the car on the railroad
track at the head of the canal, his little boy
fell on the track, and notwithstanding his
last pathetic appeal to his father for help,
before any assistance could be rendered the
wheels of the truck passed over him, man.
Cling him in the most frightful manner.
The child fingered until yesterday morning,
when death relieved him from its pain. Mr..
Broe and family have the sympathies Of the
whole community in this terrible affiiction.

Of the fire in the steamer, and whether or
not she was at the time of the disaster fully
provided with all the life-savns appliances
required by law, furnished with all the
necessary apparatt.s for the extinguishmert
of fire on board, and in all other respects
properly and thoroughly equipped as Il pas
senger steamer.

McGill are in any degree responsible for
the disaster to the steamer and the consc-
quent loss Of life, and your report will EN-
brace all the facts relative to the last in
spection at the date upon which it was
made, her condition, the name OF her otfi
