(weld Watches. etc:, Stolon-4 Brick Wall and Iron Safe Cut Through. The Washington Sktr of last night says: ' This morning, some time between the hours of one and five o'clock, one of the ruostdaring and successful burglaries we have ever been called on to notice was perpetrated—the Scene being a building :very near, Pennsylvtnia ave, nue,-on one of the most frequented thorough fares, :with persons living within forty feet of it on either side ; we refer to the pawpbrolcor's es tablishment of Messrs. S. Goldatein & Co., No. 200 .1i street, a few doors above the avenue. The burglars effected an entrance to the prem ises by cutting through the back wall of brick, fourteen inches thick, making a hole on the in side of about 16 inches by 20. and on the out side about 20 by SO inches. Having got into the back room they commenced work on the large safe in which the most valuable goods' were deposited. This is a large-sized safe of Wilder's patent, and in the lower left corner .of the upper panel of the door--in-which is the lock, a hole was cut, apparently with cold chisels, and one tf the bolts being broken, the, door was opened by being pried with a "jimmy." From this side of the safe th v took a number of valuable watches, diamon is and costly jewelry, with which plunder tit y made off by the same way they came. On the members of the firm entering the establishment this morning, they found on the floor several cold', chisels, . "jimmies," and other implements which had been used, all of which are ot' the very best euality. -They also found in the yard a number of rings less valuable than the goods carried off, which had been dropped or thrown away. In the safes ... there was a quantity of silver-ware, gold- mounted opera glasses, &c., which were not deemed valuable enough teicarrYofl; and the other door of the safe was not_opened,._:probk.- Iffy for - whiit of time:.' The key to that door. however, was in the hands of the burglars, and they left it on the top : , of . the safe.= Had they opened that side:tbey:cOnld,have helped them-, selves to money, a large, amount; being . there.

Inerport of Operations for the Week ifin the • iLvldgb and Other ~Oink During the past two weeks, elections were held by the minersin the different, districts contrObed by the W. fl. A. on the question of maMng eight hours a legal day's work. The' result; though not officially announced as yet, has been adverse to those favoring • the, moire ment—in many cases the men ..,considering a. tight on those grounds, at the present state of trade, inopportune and ilMinied. The miners,' and also their:laborers, voted against it' The failure to carry this meaiure - has _con siderably— depressed - the- -- hopes of , the men 'in the suspended regions as to, carrying their demand, so much so ft:dee-I that they may resume work at the operator's terms at, no very distant date. Men train the surpended region' are scouring the county overin search of work, showing thattheir re sources are drawing to an end, and that either they mustresume work .or seek it in other regions. They are meeting with no success, as all the others are working with their full quota of men. ." The men at one colliery operating in the Shatnokin region'have , signified theirintentions_to_go_to-work-at-the,-- operator's terms a , thus making a - beginning Of . the end of the suspension; others, it is hoped, will seen folio*. • ' The Lehigh and citherregiolll3 above,with the exception of Summit Hill, Lehigh'Navigatien , Company, have been working to their full - capacityduringthe — tiastwik, as the report below given will show. Some of thecollieries 'have suffered- for want of cars to carry their coal, but this evil is - gradually being remedied, both carrying companies placing numbers of new cars constantly on the road. The want of cars is one of the greatest evils the mining companies suffer from during the busy sea son, when all are pu s hing to their fail capa city. .The demand, for coal has not improved rnaterially,nor is it as it be should,con.sidering the suspension in the Schuylkill. The larger sizes meet with ready sale, but the smaller drag. One cause of this is that, in face of a speedy resumption in the Schuyl kill region, the buyers are holding back,-fear ing to have a r stock on hand, when it should take place, at the present figures. Should the. regions now _idle resume work, in the present inactive state of the trade,the market, becoming quickly overstocked, would catch them with a stock on_handat_the higlirate of priees. Though it is fair to believe, should the Schuylkill operators succeed in getting their men to work at the reduced basis, as from present appearances they will, the Lehigh operators will make an attempt to reduce, they -paying wages now in excess of-a fair price re ceived for coal. Again, on the other hand, should the men be successful and - work on their own terms, ..those in the Lehigh region, prompted•bythe success of the other's, will make a demand for higher wages. Should-such be the.case a re sumption,of workin the one region will 'cause a suspension in the other, thus giving the .Schuylkill regionn -chance-to- make np-for lost time. , -The 'report - a from New York are that little coal is laccuraulated at the different shipping . parts ;.tradeis in - accordance with the time of the year ;Alike choker qualities of . Coal com mand a good price. In Scranton coal, and coal of like grade,' some concessions' in price are beingthade, as by sonic it is believed that by the next auction sale'of. Scranton &al will re sult in a dechno. The- Eastern; men are buy ing carefully, awaiting_theresnltofthe,sale,or -untiFtbey- think prices , have reached • their lowest point, therr judgment of that having resulted to theirdisadvantage on several occa sions. They have rushed into tha market at once, causing the price of coal to run up to figures much in excess of their desires. A new outlet for Lehigh coal was finished during the week, touching the Northern Rail road at Oreland; and extending to Consho hocken, thus giving the operators a chance to simply some of the furnaces and towns sup plied by Schuylkill, as also - furnishing a way of earrying_ire_from-the—Lehigh—Valleffe --those furnaces - . A strike ot a local nature occurred at Beaver Meadow, but, was satisfactorily arranged be tween operators and men. The shipment over both railroads and canal for last week was 113,48(3.17 tons, against 111,691.00 the week before—an increase of 1,795.17 tons. The break in the Delaware Division of the Lehigh Canal, below Easton, will bo repaired to-dity, and navigation will be resumed on Monday next nom AN REDAINS IN ENGLAND New Discoveries.. An English newspaper says : The .excavations that are being made 'at Bath for the construction of the new Pump Room Hotel have brought to light softie very interesting Roman remains. The most.valu able results are the determination of the south ancL binita of tag) gmat_teatple,_and_the_ discovery of some ornamental stonework so .similar in details to that which appears upon the temple of Jupiter tttator at Rome as to suggest the probable date of the Bath Temple. The plan of the forum and the course of its surroundingS may now be traced with sufficient accuracy to enable the antiquary to construct - a tolerably perfect plan of Aqtne Solisoft the time when it was the grand watering place of lloritan A great many fragments of flat sheets of Ro man glass haVe been found,Which bear all the appearance of having been rolled or cast. It , seems impossible to doubt, with this evidence before us, that the Romans employed glass for the purpose of lighting their houses as well as in the construction of drinkin :vessels. The Roman glass has a peculiar blue tint, and is semi-opaque. ' The General Assembly Reporting.. To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin: The exact condition of the members of the press in this Convention seems to have been misun derstood, and I beg leave to say a word in ex planation, through your columns. I may speak from somewhat extended experience, having been a reporter for the Tribune (or other New York dailies) at six of those Assemblies, con secutively. The General Assembly cannot spare room. on the platform erected for its use for any but the Moderator and the numerous clerks of the body. " At least, this has been .the 'opinion and practice of the New School Assembly for many yearS : and the number of clerks is increased by one in the present (united) Assembly. The . desks furnished are at least as nu merous and aS well placed as I . have ever seen in a similar convention, and the arrange- went for " rrianifeldlng" documents, which we all need, is the device of an experienced journalist, and will, as the work hurries on us - in the coming days, be shown to be as ad mirable as it is novel. lam not a participant in it," as my reports will be. brief; but . ' am' - glad to' say that it' has been so conducted as rather to aid than to , embarrass me... There are difficulties , at this assembly greater than ever before, but they arc due to the "union" of two large antlic , oniPlieateflassemblies, coniing_ together with diverise rules and 'usages; and with more,new clerks than ever before.
