RETURNED HOME.

Chief OF Police Maxwell returned
home last evening, from Harrisburg
where he had gone to obtain a rcquisi-
tion for Charles J. Duffy, wlo was con-
cerned in the robbery of Drake 81 Cos
store on last Friday night week.
At the hearings before the Mayor this
morning, Duffy, and John W. Fillmore,
were arraigned on the charge of having
committed the robbery.
George Drake testified that the articles
stolen consisted of parlor suite of hair
covered furniture, six chairs and sofa.
Having had suspicious as to who stole
the goods he went 10 Philadelphia last
Tuesday and found them in the p, W..
u b. r. 4. freight house, they having
been shipped there In the name of
Charles j. Duffy.
Officer Thomas testified that about IL
o'clock on last Friday night week he
heard a noise on King street, below
Fourth. He went down and saw the
prisoners removing the furniture on a
push cart. Duffy informed him that
he had purchased the goods at auction,
and had left them until night to remove
them, as he did not want to loose any
time during the day. The witness af-
terwards saw them at the depot endeav-
oring to get the goods shipped to Phila-
delphia on one of the night lines, but
finding that impossible they started of
for the freight depot. He did not think
the goods were stolen, as he was ac-
quainted with Duffy.
The Mayor required each Of the de-
PENDANTS to furnish $500 bail to answer
the charge at the next term of Court.

cate of the land bill, in 1843, and in a
speech of great ability asserted the
rights of the States to share in the
public domain. The same year he
spoke in opposition to the graduation
bill. From this speech the Chief JUS
tice made long and interesting quo
tation, with which he closed his paper.
Rev. T. G. Littellannounced, on be-
half of the Society, their indebtedness
to the Chief Justice for his able paper,
and on motion of DR.. l.. p. Bush q
vote of thanks was rendered for the
favor, and the publication committee
directed to confer with him in relation
to the publication of the memoir.
Geo. III. Bates, Esq, was made Secrec
tary pro. tem., of the the meeting, for
the purpose of recording this motion.
Chief Justice Comegys said that
what he had thus far read constituted
only two-fifths of what he had pre-
pared in obedience to the request of
the Society. The subject was so great
and extended over so long and impor-
tant period in the United States Sem
ate that he felt it would be unjust to
Mr.. Clayton and to his memory to con-
dense into a short memoir. Looking
at his career, said the Chief Justice, il
struck me that this paper ought to be
more thorough exposition of his life
and character than could be givon in a
memoir to be read in single night.
The Society expressed its entire will
ingness to print the paper entire, and
then the meeting adjourned.
