Kavanaugh, whilst convers- ing in his office with a , discovered that the desk had been open, evidently by a ‘‘ jimmy,”’ or some other powerfal instru- ment, and robbed of money ing to aboue$700. Of this amount were 275 gold dollars, contained in a small box, whilst a portion of the balance was in bank bills. As several passengers observed a couple of suspi- cious looking characters at the door of the of- fice when t commrhe) the Lenape b with the passengers L ing, and ms they hed declined Seine to Balti- more in the boat and left her, it was deter- mined to return to the Point, -arrest the sup- posed ipanté, and have them committed to the Baltimore jail for trial. Accordingly the boat was directedto the landing, and one of the yawl boats senton shore for the purpose of consulting with Col. Dix, the proprietor, in reference to the matter. He approved the proposition, whereupon the boat in com municated with the steamer, was filled with the more resolute of the passengers, and re- turning arrested the two men—they of course declined going, and declared they woald not go, but finally were compelled to go. Upon reaching here yesterday morning at the Commerce street wharf, a boat was seut ashore for officers, whereupon officer Mo- Kinley, of Potee, Graham £ McKinley, and city policemen Gorden and Bouldin promptly ap! , and took the parties before Justice Durham, whe upon examining séveral wit- pesses committed to jailin default of security to answer a further examination. ‘They gave their names as J. J. Green and Jobn Ware, Both are well known to the police and they were but recently discharged from the Penitentiary of this State. When first taken inte custody, they would not deny any participation in the robbery, but merely said they had not the money about them. They were closely searched and their keys taken in custody by one of the passengers who remain- ed at the Point for the a of examining their pending wi the steamer was compelled to leave. pon hearing from the Point the final examination will take place. An IxTsRESTING Le boty eee esterday. Mr Pearce, of Maryland, present- a a letter from John Mo@: , Esq , pre senting to our Minister at London 4 picture of John Hampden, which he desired might be presented to Congress The letter was read, and Mr. Pearce gave a description of the painting, whic h was supposed to be from the penoi! of Vandyke, or, if not by him, cer- tainly from the pencil of Sir Pefer Lely ; but, no matter from which of those two artists, the portrait was ove which preserved all the fea- tures of that great patriot and champion of civil libert; Mr. P. dwelt on the glorious eharaeter of Hampden, and the interest which must be felt for the preservation of eo precious a relic in this re nid ; Mr. P. then introduced @ joint resolution authorizing the reception of the painting by Congress; which was passed without a diszent- voice 6 portrait is now to be seen in the Senate Chamber, bung in the rear of the Vice Presi- dent's chair. Sxoorn Firs axp Levizs.—lIt isto be hoped that the House of Kepresentatives will, to-da: Ny take up Senator Fish’s bill! nationalizing the worn out and depreciated Spanish small coin— the fips, levies, and all that class of defaced, worn and bent chircapin money by which the poor man is now swindled cut of four cents upon the dollar in all his small purchases The Senate bill, which we have before allu- ded to, would prove a national benefaction by ridding the country of a pestilent currency which finds favor with none but sharpers and dishomest des!ers. Will not the House of Rep- resentatives devete the ten minutes of time needed to perfectthis most desirable measure ? Tux Wearuer.—We areindebted to “B ,” of Georgetown, for the following notes of the range of the thermometer, 4c., from Friday, noon, August 8, to thia morning : Morning. Noon.

Warier Postmaster: Please drop a jine to Mrs. Rosanna B. An- derson, Washington, D C, that we are all safe Wx. F. Axperson, Ax Act or Justice —One of the Naval ap- Ppropriation bills that bas both House: and is now a law, gives to the members of marine band stationed in this city an increase of $4 per month to their pay so long as they shall be required to perform in the public grounds. They richly deserve this increase, and we are very sure that our fellow-citizens generally will join us in thanking Congress for ite action in this case. VaGranr.—Yesterday, an ‘‘oldsalt’’ named isaac Page, who has been in the city several days, drinking and lodging at improper places, Was arrested fur being drunk, disorderly, and for vagrancy He resisted the officers until they disarmed him, taking from him a long kvife. which he showed every disposition to use. Justice Stevens committed him to the work-lLouse for several days. Couptaints.—A short time since complaints of the condition of streets, gutters, éc., wore Very numerous. Since the Mayor has opened the complaint books sae Sis not so frequent, for the obvious reason that san Dow can- not complain without being known ; and they are liable to be summoned as witnesses when it is necessary to prosecute. Many love to bring charges, but None like the trouble of proving them. Dox't Lice to Worx.—A number of the prisoners recently sent t» the workhouse dis- ike the employment they find there, and have made attempts to escape.
