APPREHENSION OF HOUSEBREAKERS AND  RESETTERS.  It will be remembered that in the month of February last a robbery of considerable extent was perpetrated in the premises occupied by Mr Moses Lisenheim, pawnbroker, Princes Street, when a considerable quantity of gold and silver watches, jewellery, dt.e., was carried off. The police strongly suspected certain parties, but were unable to obtain the evidence requisite to make a case against them, so the matter lay over. On Saturday, however, a man offered a gold chain for sale or pledge at a pawnbroker's office in town, and, in answer to inquiries, he was reluctantly obliged to tell that he Lad got it front a man named James Leonard, living in the New Fennel. On this being reported to the detective officers at the police office, they at once remembered Lennard as being one of the persons suspected at the time of the robbery. They therefore proceeded to his house and apprehended hint, along with his wife and a neighbour named Daniel M'Master and his wife. In both the houses, or on the persons of the inmates, were found some of tha articles stolen from Mr Lisenheiria's premises in February last. They were yesterday remitted to the Sheriff, and we learn that later in the day the Sheriffs Fiscal liberated M'llaster and his wife, no doubt intending to use the as witnesses against the Lennards.  A letter from Valparaiso, of Nov. 10, says :—` The events of the last fortnight are important. The most deplorable is the suicide of Mr Bernal, a French merchant in dry goods and fancy articles; he was detecfed in fraudulent conduct, and preferred selfmurder to the laws of justice. The amount of his spurious documents is valued at 8100,000, and debts for purchases effected to an equal sum. Frequent failures at this plac.? (in Copiapo and Santiago), and general suspension of payments are hourly oppressing circumstances, principally on importing houses. To the chain of sad events might be added the loss of the steamer Constitution, which carried provisions, provided by the charity of the inhabitants of Valparaiso, for the people of the south.' A FAMILY FOlSONED.—Cousiderable sensation has been created at Shoreham, in consequence of the poisoning of a family by arsenic. On Thursday a man named Puttick dined with his wife and eldest son off bacon and greens, and a hard pudding made of flcur purchased on the previous day by the wife, and of which they had before eaten without any ill effects. Shortly after dinner the three persons were seized ' with violent pain and sickness, and at six o'clock in the same evening the son, aged fifteen, died, and the woman lingered to Friday morning, when she expired. Puttick himself rallied, and was on Friday morning pronounced to be out of danger. Dr Fuller, who was called in, found the remains of the pudding contained a large quantity of arsenic. It then transpired that Puttick was a rat-catzher,' and kept arsenic in a paper in a chest up stairs, which he had Tchased to the extent of a pound at Michaelmas and it was found that the paper was opened,and . some had fallen into the chest. It is rumoured . Puttick's wife was guilty of great irregularities, it is apprehended that she had purposely mixed arsenic with the pudding to destroy herself and 'r. The bodies await an inquest.
