Burglaries.
--On Saturday night last, Mr. William Palmer's residence, on the corner of Main and Fifth streets, was forcibly entered and robbed of two silver teapots, a silver coffee urn, and provisions, valued at two thousand dollars. The robbery was one of the most daring character, as the thief entered through the second story front window; to attain which he was compelled to climb a considerable distance, besides use a stepladder. At an early hour yesterday morning, officers Kelly and Griffin were apprised of the robbery, and set about to find out who were the perpetrators.--In a short while they traced it to a small house in the western suburbs of the city, occupied by two negro slaves, named Abner, the property of Mrs. Frances Gathright, and Caroline, belonging to Spencer Warring, both of whom they took into custody. The stolen property was found in the house, secreted under the clothes of Caroline, who stood crouched over them upon the entrance of the officers, in explanation of which position she said she was suffering very much from a rheumatic affection. They were locked up in the upper station-house to await examination before the Mayor this morning.On the same night, the basement of Thomas Boudar was entered and robbed of five thousand dollars' worth of meal and other groceries. The thieves entered by first forcing out three bars from the lower window and gaining access thereby. A negro fellow, named Isaac, in Mr. Boudar's employ, charged with the offence, was arrested by officer J. N. Kelly yesterday morning.
Officers Jenkins and Moore, of the day police, arrested a young man yesterday morning, named Thaddeus A. R. Hopkins, charged with complicity in the robbery of Lafitte's watch. He will also appear before the Mayor this morning.
