    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:

This statement is not based upon the notes
actually outstanding, but those canceled and
redeemed in pursuance of the warrant of the
Secretary of the Treasury. 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.
It is highly probable that this amount has
either' been redeemed with money directly, or
converted into bonds. ■

1 The Register is unable to state the amount
of call certificates, under acts of December 24,
1861, and March 23,1863, which have assumed’
the character of permanent bonds, and owing
to their peculiar character, they are excluded !
from a statement showing the funded debt.
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.

TO SOLDIEBSAND POSTMASTERS.
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.

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,

The Painesville Telegraph narrates the foHow
iDgJaughable incident, connected with the'late
railroad accident near that place : ■ “Hon. M.
Lowi-y, Senator from Erie to the Pennsylvania
Legislature, was a passenger on the train run
into by the Accomnjodation last week.. He
was thrown through a window and landed head
foremost into a snow bank. The first thing he
•was heard to* utter was: ‘The Pennsylvania
Legislature can now organize with impunity!’ ”
