In yesterday's paper we chronicled the sr
,
rest of two'Clennens - *bogeys their names as
Charles Both Mid. Henry Heim They were
apprehended bylrfayor Drum . ' police, in Al
. *shiny, on Wednesday afternoon, and on
Thnrsday,morning were committed to jail on
a charge,of "-intent to commit a - felony"
having been found - in- the residence of Mr.
John Brown, Jr., on the West Common, under
vary suspicious circumstances. We also stated
that they had on their persons numerous keys,
which . were supposed- to have been stolen.
Afteithey had been committed, and before it
was lumen who they were, (as they had given
lifictitious names ,) an examination of the keys
n their possession led to very importfint dis
coveries. Some of the : keys had- been stolen
from the residence of James Blackmore, Esq.,
n Wylie street, on Monday evening last, and
at the same time the house was robbed of a
- f numbero spoons, and other silver ware, dur
ing the 'absence of the family on a visit.
Having this clue, the next thing was to dis
cover the names and residence of the alleged
thieves;•whioh Was also done. They proved
to be brothers. named-Rudolf, who keep a low
beer hall oq Serenthetreat, in this city. On
searching-their premise's, Mr. Blackmore's
silver ware eras all diecovered secreted in the
ses Metre. : Bat 'this is not all—the greater
part of the goads stolen from the house of Mr.
- john Duffy, corner of _Grant and Webster
streets, were also recovered. This litter rob
bery was one of thelmldest ever perpetrated
in the city, and. the police were unable to find
the slightest clue teat, until the publication
. : of the arrest of theme parties appeared in our
~paper, when the identification of Mr. Black
more's-keys Ott them upon the proper track,
time supporting our assertion that newspaper
publications often lead to the discovery of
offenders. - - -
‘ In addition to the/Laicise stolen from Messrs.
BleekmoreandDuffy,tho•Polloe found two sil
-Ver. witches, which are supposed to have been
sbilen=one an English watch, numbered 210,
:
without the'eisker's DIMS; and the other a
French watch, numbered 4422, with the name
"Chopard" on the flee; There was also some
harness fourid oa the premises, and a city
draj platei numbered 375, all of which can be
seen at the Mayor's 'taws. '
The principal in these robberies is supposed
to be Karl Rudolf; who has recently served a
term In the penitentiary, whither he had been
-z sentenced .for passin g counterfeit money. He
,-- was - no doubt assisted by his brother (who
gave his name as Henry Heier,) and commit
ments will be ledged. against them to-day.
• These men may , have been guilty or some of,
the othei numerous robberies recently perpe
trated lsere„ and if so, the police will doubt
less be able. with the assistance of the news
papers; tir"Mrt theniout. .
Arrest of. Counterfeiters.. Recovery
-r of Bogus 'Money..
Last night, shout eleven o'clock, Chief of
Pollee Rape, assisted by officer Pox_ and
' others, made a descent upon a small frame
tenement on Sixth street, near the cornet -of
Woad where an alleged counterfeiter had
lately • domiciled himself, and' assisted by a
female ccoompliceiWas engaged in diepensing
bogus coin by. means of a little candy shop,
kept for "blind." Both parties were found
in the shop, and taken into custody, when a
search for the bogus material was commenced.
In a box, used for a flower • pot, and partly
filled with soil,n quantity of counterfeit coin
was found,' principally in dimes and quarters.
Sample's of the stuff wore also picked up' in
other . parts of the lease, and the acenierwere
conveyed to the watch house — and.locked_up

The man :gave the name of Clark, while
his female-acquaintance is known aa.
Newton. Who 'formerly kept a disreputable
house in. this city. -Clark hails from Fort
Wajne, Indiana, and has been operating hate
under an assumed name. It is said that he
is a fugitive fronijaitice, having been charged
with a similar offense in Indiana. Officer
Hague bad been *staking him for some time
past, and being satisfied that be was passing

to the shop for the Toupees of decoy ing him.
In every instance; the parties got either a
counterfeit dime, quarter, or half dollar, and
it wail_ determined to "pull" him forthwith.

uponthe roof, but the officers were too sharp
for lei.' The arrest was weU managed, and
was oniducted in the pretence of the United

Oil Items.
We learn by the last steamer that the Lon
don Sufferance Wharf, whose premises are to
be erected on the north bank of the Thames,
in connection with the Victoria Desks and all
the principal railways, propose to meet the
difficulty - lately raised with regard to the
storage of the quantities of petroleum (or
"well oil" as it is called in London) now in
course of importation from America, and the
trade in which promises rapidly to atumme
singular proportions. The danger of such an
article being kept in the midst of the various
decks of London has attracted general atten
tion, and the .Sufferance Wharf Company in
tend to erect a series of buildings, entirely
apart from ell other premises, to be. devoted
exclusively to this purs..
The Legislature of Kentucky passed an
set, which requires an inspection of burning
oils refined from petroleum and crude coal-oil.
It imposes a tine of twenty dollars for each sale
of such burning oil without inspection. It
requires that the oil shall be tested, on as not
to give out an explosive vapor at a tempera
ture less than 150° Fahrenheit.
A Skillful Operation.
On Monday last, a dolman named James
Mclntyre was dangerously injured by being
pinned against a height car on Liberty
street—the shaft of the dray having struck
him on the breast and crushed in several of
his_ ribs. The right, lung was seriously af
fected, and IC was faired that the man would
die. In eighteen hours after the accident,
Dr. Pollock, assisted by Drs. Shaw and Me-
Meal, opined the chest and extracted several
small pieces of ' the fractured ribs, which bad
been driven into the right lung under the arm
pit. Two of these splinters were [roman inch
and a half to two inches in length, and had
canoed great pain and irritation to the lung.
The operation was necessary to save the life
of the patient, and was very okillftilly per
formed. For some time afterward the case
seemed to be hopeless, bat he gradually began
to grew better, and this morning hopes are
entertained for his ultimata recovery.

lars to France, which has been invested for
him in French storks.
The Committee of Wails and Means• have

have been constantly at work for the last two
The Committee oa the Conduct of the War
have received additional' evidence of great
importance, giving further proof of the shock
ing outrages perpetrated on our dead and
wounded soldiers at 801 l Run. Mr. Kirby, a
Northern man, has join reached Washington,
and confirm, the stories told, with additional
particulars. He was at the battle-field the
day after the fight, and saw with hie own
eyes the bodies of men and horses roasted and
burned to get rid of them.
The /equirer'e correepondont says that Hon.
John Covode, on his recent visit to Philsdel
phia,ediscovered that large quantities of blan
kets and clothing, which c had been once con
damned and rejected, were again inspected
without removal, and passed. The amount is
said to be large,nfid the goods are entirely
unfit for government FM.
The Philadelphia Preis correspondent says
that the Senate will, without unneeessary
delay, proceed to the consideration of the tax
bill. The tax of twenty cents Per gallon on
whisky and twenty cents per pound on tobac
co, itis estimated will yield anuully,f4o,ooo, 7

cecina that on his return from Richmond he
sent his voluminous dispatches to Napoleon,
in which worn recorded as sober verities the
'boastful prophesies' of Benjamin, Wigfall,
Jeff. Davis and other rebel dignitaries.
Among them were reitorated assertions that
Gen. Johnson would be victorious at York
town, and some, at least, of the othor foreign
ministers transmitted theso fabulous stories
to their rerspeetire courts. To-day M. Met-
cier exclaimed with abundant French shrugs,
" what can I believe? .Whom am•l to trust?
They told me that they never would give up
Yorktown, and now —."
The sensation stories touching M. Moreier's
vicar, set afloat by various:journals, are pure
speculation. It is unknown whether be acted
under instructions froth his government or
not. 'lt is, therefore, of course, unknown
what the real significance of the visit was.
That he and his master are not unwilling to
have the Union re-constructed on any basis,
and, if practicable, through their good offices,
is not doubted.
Col. Jennison, of Kansas, is now in Wash

Wasnisoron, May B.—Tho Navy Depart
ment has received dispatches from Commodore
Dupont to-day, dated Port Royal, May 2d,
giving interesting particulars of an st ay
on the 29th ult., with the Rale, to cap-
Aura a battery on °rumball's plantation.,near
the Junction of the Dawho Paw and South
Edisto rivers. •
It appears that the enemy opened on the
Hale when within 1,800 yards, and conducted
their tire, as she would here say, to engage
them at close quarters, but when the Hale
reached the last bend,, and was making a
strai
iigbt coarse for the battery, the rebels fled
in haste.
Lieut. Gillis landed with a party of men to
destroy it. The work was about 350 yards
from the river bank, and mounted' two fine,
long - 24-pounders, on excellent field carriages.
One of the guns, so rapid was the flight of the
rebels, was left loaded and primed.
The Hale returned to her anchorage with
out having a man injured.
Another report details the proceedings at
Boll's Bay. Lieut. Nickels crossed the bar
with the Onward, on the 7th ult., and anch
ored within 800 yard' of a light-house on
Bull's Island, and opened fire on a small work
situated about fifty yards to the southward of
the light-house. Shortly after he landed in
his boats, covered by the guns of the Onward.
The rebels fired upon the party, but not 'wait
ing an attack, escaped from the island to the
mainland.
The Onward has now complete command of
the channel, so that no vessel can either enter
or go out.
On the 3d ult., Lieut. Com. Nicholson, of
the Isaac Smith, than stationed at St. Augus
tine, having heard that a schooner had come
in over Matanzas for some thirteen miles to
the southward, dispatched three armed boats,
together with a detachment of twenty-five
men, from Col. Boll's command, to capture
her, which was done, and the schooner brought
to St. Augustine. The schooner was called
the Empire City. She had an English regis
ter, and cleared from Nassau for - St. John, N.
B. Her cargo consists' of provisions, dry
goods, medicines, etc. In consideration of
the fait that the citizens of St. Augustine
were without the necessaries of life, and with
no means of getting them, Lieut. Nicholson
sold the cargo ' or a portion of it, at auction,
considering the overruling necessity.
The gudboat limiter/a, on the let ult., off
Mobile, captured the R. C. Files, which was
attempting to run• the blockade. She was
loaded with cotton, and has been sent to Key
West.
Information has been received here that a
cavalry reconnoissance was recently made to
Culpepper Court House, seven persona on
horse back wore captured, as they were en
deavoring to escape. They have been sent to
Washington.. Our troops weir favorably re.
ceived by the people, but only temporarily oo-
copied the town.
Minister Adams has presented a claim to
the British government for the restoration of'
the ship Emily . St. Pierre, the Capt. of which
rose upon the prize crew and conveyed her to
Liverpool, after her capture by the United
States fleet, fur violating the blockade.
An order from tho War Department says-t
Upon requisitions made by the Commanders
of armies in the field, authority-oiill be given
by the Department to the Governors of the
respective States to recruit regiments now in
service.
