It hns al ready been Hated in tbe Ledger ihnt the supposed thieves were in custody. Yester. day morning the case was again brought before Mayor Wilkinson, and in the prison er's dork appeared Abraham I.andis, Albert Klein, fsano Landis, and Joseph Klein two uf the Tarty are sons of the person robbed, tho others nephews. The principal witnes ses examined were the officers instrumental in arresting the defendants, and when they had roiirlnded, Albert Klein, who it about 22 years of nae, proponed that he would turn Plate' evidence ami relate the dory, which would bring to justice the real perpe trator of the offence. He was listened to in the course of his story, but nothing was eli cited from him further than that Abraham Landis made the false keys. This had al ready been testified to by the olicers, ns well ns other matters implicating the broth ers Klein. Finally the cast' arrived at the point when the Mayor gave notice to the counsel for the defendants, William D. Baker Esq., that ho would commit Abraham Lan dis for the robbery, discharge Isaac Landis for want of any evidence lo hold him, and commit the K'ein for a further hearing. This was done, however, after Abiaham re quested his counsel and his Honor, the May or, to allow him to tell the true state of the whole matter, from its origin to the consum mation of the uct. The Mayor declined hearing: the story of the licensed, but.iibse iiiently the defendant was taken from the lock-up into the Mayor's private office, whem hu related, as he alleged, all the cir cumstances of the matter, and made a full confession of the lobbeiy. lie statud that four attempts were madu before access was gained into the store, ami when the success lull effort was accomplished, Albert Klein accompanied and directed him to the places in thts establishment where the most ralua bio jewehy was kept. Landis alleges that the matter of robbing bis Hindu's store, was first suggested to him by Albeit, some 2 months ago, at his shop in Raid ltd street, above Poplar uud that he re fused. Again and again the cousin returned as well as Joseph, and insisted upon his en teiing into the conspiracy, as ho was a lock smith, for the reason that they were deter mined to be revenged of their father. The. appeals ut length overcame him, and the plans were devised. Albert took an impres sion of the key-hole in the store door, and n key was made, but it would not answer the purpose. Tho next day Albert came back to Landis and informed him of the whereabouts of a key very simiisr to that of his fathers, and it was procured. A sec oud attempt was made that evening and failed. A few days afterwards Albert came with another key, an. I after remodeling it, tho door was tried a third time, with the same result. The son, with a perseverance almost unparalleled, concocted a scheme whereby the younger son obtained from his father some ted wax and took an impression of the store door key. This was taken to Landis, who altered one of the keys former ly nianufactuied, and on Wednesday even ing the attempt was made which proved successful. The defendant further staled that the young man havingchaige of the store was enticed away by Joseph Klein, and after he (Landis) vtid Albeit had billowed the brother and watched the boy up Third street and down Willow slreet to St. John. thy went back and robbed the store. Then Xhe jewelry was taken to Kachel street and deposited in a keg and buiied some ten inches below the surface of the ground. Landis, who has a family of four children, also stales that he was employed by Brink li Durliin, in Water St., and could easily make 312 per week when he worked. The caso as represented seems to bear out the tact, that he has been made the victim of bis cuusius' leveuge. 7H EAT TIKE AT MO.MROJF. t Ont-third of the Bvtiness Part of tht I'oun Destroyed Loss from S40, COO lo sr.0,000.

IE The delightful weather anxiously looked for in May, is now upon us. The thermometer on Monday and Tuesday was, however, rather higher than necessary for the comfort of those exposed to the sun. Our neighbors of the Gazette have enlarged their pr.per to the size of the American, and improved its appearance by a new dress. We ore pleased to see such evidence of prosperity in our cotempora ries. the r. a i l noAD comtntion To be held in Siinhury, on Tuesday next, we have reason to believe, will he attend, ed by many of our most influential and distinguished citizens, from Baltimore to the State line. We regret that the citizens of Philadelphia look with so much jealousy and prejudice upon this important enter prise. We have not yet discovered that any of the city papers have even noticed the Convention. That news papers should neglect to notice such important move ments is indeed surprising. Nut one of the Philadelphia members, and but one from the counties East of the Susquehanna, vo ted fur the till on its final passage. We observe too, that our near neighbor, the Danville Intelligencer, is as silent as death on the subject. How magnanimous! espe cially as we have noticed every Conven tion held at that place whether for hum bug or for other purposes. the times, au rixmu rRosrtcis. We believe there never was a period when there was not a complaint ol hard times. It is the lot of man to complain and to find fault when things do not go on, and prosper, as he would w ith. Yet how often is the fault our own. Want of ener gy, industry, care and economy, are insup arable obstacles, that constantly present themselves and frustrate the hopes of many. The times were probably never belter than at the present period. Money is abundant the agriculture of the Coun try is teeming with bountiful harvests and at remunerating prices labor commands the highest wages, and no one lias occasion to remain idle. These things have not been without effect on ourselves. Our business during the last eighteen months has rapidly increased, and the accession lo our subscription list during ttiat term, without any out door eflort, has been more than five fold greater than at any ptevious period. From present appearances there is every reason to believe that the valley of the Susquehanna is soon to become the theatre of vast and important improve, incuts. Its immense resources of walth hidden and developed, will, when these improvements are completed, a. toni.h even the most sanguine.

The terminus of the f'attawissa road we always supposed to be Tamaqiis, about 70 miles East, instead ol Elniira about 100 miles west. The editor probably had heard something of the Wil liamsport and Elinira Read. President Fillmore on his tour North has been handsomely received in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York.

Laugdon Cheves has retired from the Convention, writing a letter of admonition as a last effort lo recall his fellow citizens lo their senses. The magician who assisted lo raie the storm is now appalled by its pow er, and vainly attempts to lay the evil spirits he has conjured up. Blind mortal ! Did he not know that the powers of wickedness are easier lo unloose than to chain tip! We say that South Carolina is Ihe most selfish Siate of the Union j and we point to her present conduct as it proof. The rel of die South is salislied w ith the Compiomise measures. Why is not she 1 Tw o-thirds of the voleis below Ihe Potomac, if nut even moie, admit that the North has sjranled eve ry constitutional lijjht that the South can ask. Why, then, does this shu-de Slate brawl about secession! The fact is, she thinks secession will enrich her. That is the whole story told in plain words. Her patriotism consists, we repeat, in following tier own ii. leiest. She boasts of her bravery, chivalry, and heaven know s what, as if sh", alone of the Union, had brave and chivalrous citizen. To hear her talk of Marion nnd Smnpter, Emaw and ninety-six, one would imagine that there had never been a Washington nr Greene, a Bunker Hill or a Yotklown. She bras hiL'h, ton, of what her pallaut sons would do, if the federal uovernment should dare in attempt coercion. Patrick Henry well said that we must jndoe the future by the pat ; and the military history of South Carolina in the revolution may afford a cluei perhaps, to what we seek Well 'hen, what was it 1 Alone, nf all the colonies, Smith Carolina submitted mieniiilitinnallv lo the ttiilish.

Not n man of all her chivalry had the heart even lo strike a blow until Marion arose. Nor, even then, would her inhabitants turn out, except in a few pallant cases, until the appinaeh of Greene's army from Virginia gave heart to her teiror-strnck population. The simple historical truth is that South Carolina was re. covered from Ihe Uiitish, by a Rhode Island General and by Middle State soldieis. ti was the continental infantry, backed by Lee's legion bulb recruited principally from New Jersey, Delaware, Mankind, and Vu fiinia w hich did most of the hard woik of every campaign.
