Keturning again, he obtained n book from Moss's, which he disposed of to Leary, nt fifth and Walnut streets. Had he now btopped he would have been all right, but tie did not. Walking up Fifth to Chesnut, he turned the corner and visited the firm named Mob, on tho latter street, and here he played the same game with the sainesuccess. He then Ptarted for Race street wharf. Meantime, dealer No. 1 had begun to suspect that all was not rlht, and had therefore placed a policeman on the watch. Theodore soon arrived and offered the book for sale. He was at once arrested, and this afternoon will answer for the theft, at the Central Station. Anouier Victim.

McGeary.l 8ome conver sation ensued, when Greeny found himself minus $00. Like a flash he shot oat of the bouse and hunted up a policeman, and the two returned to the den. Annie and McGeary were Still therein. Greeny charged them with theft, and they denied It. Both were then searched, but the. money could not be found. The officer, however, was not to bo baffled. There being no females about, ho proceeded to examine Annie blmsclf. Before proceeding far, he found that the job was too uncleanly for his hands. He then procured a pair of tongs, and in a few moments drew forth the money. Both the parties named were then locked np, and will have a hearing at the Central to-day. Lodging and Theft.

Some tlmo during the evening a conpleof prowl ing individuals entered the house by forcing open the buek door, and feeling tired they laid down on one of the beds to rest.

One of Mayor Fox's policemen, numed Forsyth, who stQod by, thought it was bis duty to inter fere, which be did, whereupon Luke gave him 'left-hander" over the eye. At the same time, John, hot to be outdone, threw off his coat and bat and sailed in likewise.

She had bsen employed in the house of a lady as domestic, and one night went into her mis tress' chamber and stole a watch aud several articles of jewelry. The case was a plain one, she having acknowledged her guilt, and doubtless she would have been eonvlcted of the felony, had not the Dis trust Attorney stated to the jury that he knew the poor woman, that she hud been in his ser vice formerly, where she had committed a number of petty thefts, and from her conduct then, and from the testimony of one of the witnesses in the present case, he was convinced that she was more a lit subject for the InBaue Arylum than the Feniientiary. lie thought it but Justice that she should be acquitted on the ground of insanity, in which event the Court could make the proper dispo sition of her.

FROM WAbUINQTQjY Advices from the North Atlantic Fleet. Wabuinotow, March 1 Despatches have been received at the Navy Department from Kear-Admlral Poor, cominandluif the North Atlantic Fleet, dated Cape Haytien, February 12. The United States steamers Severn and Dictator arrived at Port-au-Prince on the ltttb. of February. Admiral Poor had called npon the provisional President, and, after the usual ex change of civilities, acquainted him with the object of bis vlcit to that port. The President summoned his Cabinet, and tbe Admiral explained the instructions be had re ceived from this Government, namely: That negotiations were pending between the United States and San Domingo, and that while they were pending this Government had determined, with it wbole power, to prevent any interfe rence on the part of tho Haytien or any other government with that of the Dominicans, and if the attempt should be made npon the Dominicans during the negotiations, under the Haytien or any other fiojr, it would be regarded as an act of hostility to the United States flag, and would provoke hostilities in return. The President and Secretary of State ex pressed the hope that the friendly relations now existing between Ilaytl and the United States would not be Interrupted, and that while they were aware of their weakness they knew their rights and would maintain them to tbe best of their ability, and that tbey must be allowed to be the judges of their own policy. Admiral Poor afterwards learned unofficially that the autho rities were displeased with what tbey considered a menace upon the part of the United States accompanied with force. Tbe day before the arrival of the Severn at Port-au-Prince there was a report in circulation in the town that a collision had occurred nt Cane Haytien between the Nantucket and the Haytien man-of-war Terror, late tbe Pequot, in consequence of the protection given by the former to tbe American Consul. It was also reported by the two pilots who brought in the Severn and Dictator, with a discrepancy ns to the result. An investigation by the Admiral proved the rumor without foundation. The following Hay tien vessels were at anchor at Port-au-Prince: Maratanza. Quaker City, Alexander Petlon, G.ileta, and the Mount Vernon, a transport. The Quaker City is dismantled. Knval Order. Lioutenant-Commander Benjamin F. Day is ordered to the Alaska. The orders of Lieut.-Commander Pickcrinz to the Alaska have besn revoked, and he remains on board the Colorado.
