ROBBERY AT HOLLIDAYSBGRG. (Correspondence ofthe Phiia.Eye, Bulletin.] ; Homldatsbueg, Feb. I.— Early yesterday Snomiog a daring attempt to rob James Gard ner’s Bank was discovered. The parties found but little difficulty in getting into the rooms through the wooden doors, though their labor was harder in gaining 'access to the vault. They quarried through tyrick and iron plates Successfully, but the treasure yet lay encased Within steel and ironthat they did not reach. Somufch for the “Thief-Proof Safe.” They , got perhaps two hundred dollars worth of inter nal revenue stamps, hut no money. It is sup posed that they are experts at the business. We do not know whether they abandoned the Safe of their own accord, or whether they were frightened off by an elderly lady who, from the noise, got up and raised a window immediately over them, bHt made no further alarm, hot knowing what the noise was. THE BEBEL TBEASUBY. On the 25th of January, the Chair laid before Hie Senate a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, sent in.responsetoaresolu lution of the Senate, adopted on the 20th of January* asking information relative to the' funded debt, call certificates, non-interest and Interest-bearing treasury notes, and other finan cial matters. The communication was ordered to be printed. The Register of the Treasury, Robt. Tyler, Esq., makes the following statement: MON-IHTEBEST BEAHIKO TREASURY! MOTES OUT STANDING JAM. 1, 1864.

About $37,000,000 in notes of all issues returned for cancellation were uncounted January-Ist. Several millions in the hands of depositories had not been re ported. Notes issued under act of October 13, 1862, and' March 23, 1863, are included in the above. Those under $5, issued under act of April 17, 1862, are excluded and put in another statement. • . The amount of call certificates issued under the . several acts authorizing the same, out standing on Ist January, 1864,was $89,206,770.

BATE FOREIGN GLEANINGS. At the last monthly meeting of 'the Acclima-; iisation Society, a report was read showing the! steps which have been taken for the promotion of oyster-breeding. The report says “ The Subject of oyster-breeding, to which the atten tion of the Guernsey branch was early directed by the parent society, is rapidly becoming of greater practical and general importance, ‘ The increase and increasing demand for this delicate and nutritious mollusc; its increasing scarcity owing "to. the exhaustion of the natural beds, and its ready conveyance into the interior of distant counties, have augmented its value, ac cording to geometrical rather than arithmetical progression. These circumstances, and the profits derived from its artificial repoduction m France,' all point'out the propriety of adopting a systematic plan for its cultivation in an island which is acknowledged to ; possess peculiar facilities for such a purpose. From recent publicatjpns we learn that the price of the British/oyster has advanced, within a few - from 42 cents to upwards of 70 cents per bushel, and that in the retail establishments ot the jpetropolis the price, which was 6d. a dozen, is now 9d., with a prospect of further advance, so that even now the oyster «may lie worth' its weight in penny-pieces. In the Guernsey. market) oysters which a short time -ago were sold at Is. 6d. to 2s,are now selling in retail at 4s. per hundred—andr-these the large variety, which are not much esteemed in the English market. It may also be 7 mentioned, as a well-established fact, that the shells, whibh but a short time ago ( were looked upon as sheer refuse,had now become marketablecommodities for the purpose of laying down vine beds, another and.increasing branch of industry. At the present moment the current price for oyster shells is 4s. per cartload, independent of the-cost'of carriage.” 1 : Mr. Burke, an auctioneer at -Sligo, wasSsell .ing goods on a loft a few days ago, surroutfded by about 50 people, and while he was withJup lifted hammer crying “Going, going, gone!” the loft gave way with a crash, the whole party was precipitated upon an earthen floor, a dis tance of about twelvefeet. The ice-houses of the Bois de Boulogne were lately fflled from the surface of the lakes The supply to the city of Paris was formerly a monopoly in the; hands of two dealers, to one of whom Belonged the ice-wells of St. Ouen had to the other the establish ment ofyfilleneuye PEtang? The consumption in the capital is about 12,000,0031b5., annuaUy. The ice was formerly soldi to the 111840 at sc.'and 6c. the pound, and then retailed at from 10c to 20c. In order to prevent tha monopousta from increasing the wholesale pnceofthe article, and to reduce the cofiTto the t public; the municipal administration had the ice houses in the Bois de Bologrie con stricted. The city revenue is increased by augmenting the consumption of ice, as an octroi 'duty of Bc. per pound is paid. The Bite chosen for the formation of those con structions .was' the fortifications and the Auteuil Railway, at ai short distance from the lakes. \ thick lay erof rock existing at that spot,; the plate seemed especially adapted for ' the.'- purpose. ; The excavation fo'r the wells is 230 feet long, 100 broad and 50 deep. This space is divided into ten compart ments, each to hold 2,000,000 lbs., but as there is about 60 per cent, waste, the quantity dis posable is only about 1,060,000 lbs. Those chambers and are also sheltered from and heat of the sun by sheds iraiß over them. The carts by which the ice is brought to Pans are lowered into the well where they are loaded, and drawn np only at the moment of their being despatched. The ice for retail is placed in baskets containing 20 lbs. and4o lbs., which are sold at 1 iranc and 2 francs each. The loss by melting during the transport is estimated at one-sixth of the quan tity.—Gqiignani’j Messenger. ~lt is rejported that'M. Lamartine is about to espouse 9 Russian princess of large fortone.

Editors of newspapers throughout the United States will doubtless confer a favor on the sol diers in the field, as well as their friends at home, by giving publicity to the following: An Act to amend the law prescribing the arti -1 cles.to be admitted into the mails of the United States. Be At enacted by the Senate and House o Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, articles of cloth ing, being manufactured of wool, cotton or linen, and comprised in a package not exceed ing two pounds, iu weight, addressed to any non-commissioned officer or private serving.in the armies of the United States, may be trans mitted in the mails of the United States at the rate of eight cents, to be in all cases-prepaid, for every four ounces, or any fraction; thereof, subject to such regulations as the Postmaster - General ;may prescribe., • Approved Jan. 22, 1864. [ Post Office Department, January 25, 1864, —The foregoing law is published for the in jformatioUof the public, and especially for the guidance of .Postmasters, and is thought to be so fuil and plain that no one can mistake its meaning. Postmasters will, however, bear in mind that packages of clothing entitled to pass in the mails— four ounces for eight cents— must be manufactured from wool, cotton or linen and not exceed- two pounds in weight, and must be addressed to a non-commissioned officer or private serving in the armies of the United States. Consequently, a package ad dressed to a commissioned officer, or composed of other materials than abbve specified, such as boots, shoes, &c., if sent by mail, must he pre paid by stamps at letter rates, viz: three cents for every half-ounce or fraction thereof. 189,719,151-00 Trouble in Church.—A trouble has sprung up in the Lutheran Church at the corner of Hanover' and Hamburg streets, Baltimore, which has grown so fierce that the police were called in on Sunday to preserve the peace. It appears’the council board notified the pastor that.his servjces would not be required alter three monthgJ-sljortly after which the members composing the board were declared excommu nicated, and a new Dhard was elected, though the church building is in. possession of the old board. The- result is' a fear that a personal conflict will take pace in the church. The Boston Ice Crop —The warm weather for the past few days has; put a temporary check upon the ice cutting in the vicinity of Boston, hut the harvest during the cold weather preceding more than realized the ex pectations of the dealers. Thus far 225,00@ tons have been secured from eight ponds.— Government absorbed' a large amount of ice last year‘in supplying the army, and the in creased demand from other sources has made this new one of the most important items of Boston commerce.— Commercial Bulletin, Jan. 30.
