Robbery. --On Wednesday night the residence of Mr. Robert W. Oliver, on Clay street, near Brook avenue, was broken into and his store-room robbed of six hundred pounds of pickled beef, one barrel of flour, a turkey, and several other articles of family groceries, amounting in the aggregate to about four thousand dollars worth. Officer Jenkins succeeded yesterday in finding some of the stolen articles at the house of a free negro on Stephens street; but the occupants were not present, and it is uncertain whether the offender will be brought to justice.
