While periorming this act she saw the woman Doragan goto a bed, which occupied one coruer of the apartment, and take from under one of the pillows two handsful of watches and put them in her bosom. While she was duing this the other woman, Hanskeesky, seeing that Mrs. Sweeny waa observing her move- ments, went up to her and stepped gentiv on her feot, as a signal to be careiul, and then turning round to Mrs. Sweeny, requested her go out @ “leetie vile’ and then come back. Mrs. Sweeny did as requestea about going out, but when she attempted to return she found the to admit her. Going down stairs she told Barron of what she had seen whue making the fire, where- upon that individual caused the arrest or the two women, and had them conveyed to the Tomos Police Court yesterday morning.

That the said stock other than 60,066 shares, we transfer of which to the names of Heatn and Raphael has been and is thus prevented, is very large in amount, embracing many thousands ol shares, @ large amount of such atock having been sent back to.:ngiand AFTER THR SEIZURE OF THE 6),064 SHARES, and that the practical uegouability of the stock cer- Ulicates theretor has been destroyed because of the fact that when such stock was sent to the United States for transier and registration the names of Heath and ttaphael were inserted as translerees in the powers of attorney endorsed on the certificaies, 80 that delivery of such stock can no longer be made to @ purchaser by giving to him the certificate with a biank power of attorney for transier, THE DECISION.

On Thursday last the Health Officer of the city of Breoklyn, Dr. George Cochran, an oficial whose industry and integrity have been voucned tor by the success of his lubors im gustding against the en- croachment of diseasea that have from tme vo time, since he assumed the sanitary reins, threatened that community, waited upon His Honor Mayor Kaib- | Meisch for the purpose of obvtaming the necessary means to prevent iurther coutagion from the smallpox. He was attended by three members of the Health Commuttee of the Board of Aldermen. | The Doctor stated in most emphatic terms the aan- ger witn which the oltizens of Brooklyn were | phasis the necessity of employing a suMicient force of assistant sanitary inspectors to go around among the schools, institutions and from house to house and vaccinate the people. The streets, too, he urged, should be cleaned at once. There was no excuse for delay—now was the time, The danger was im- minent, The result of apathy and indifference on ‘the part of the healtn anthorittes of Philadelphia | was @ warning. which should be profitea by in Brookiyn. In tne former city they permitted the disease to get a firm footing among them before they awoke to the ur, ney of doing something to prevem iurther mischief.

I think Not, although it may be a hardship to those unfortu. nate persons, I ask this question, because to-day I had occasion to travel on a Seventh avenue car, and & woman, just recovering from smallpox, stepped aboard a litule above Canal street.
