More glass-breaking. --A large pane of glass in one of the front windows of P. K. White's store was broken early yesterday morning, and some twenty dollars' worth of boots and shoes were stolen. A window in the store of Keen, Baldwin & Williams was cracked, but no robbery was committed. At the store of Watkins & Ficklen, a splendid front window, composed of one large plate of glass, which probably cost $100 or more, was shivered, and the scoundrel was about drawing a piece of silk through the aperture, when a negro man, who was making a fire in the basement adjoining, heard the noise, came through the cellar and the depredator hurried away. The negro states that this was about half-past 5 o'clock in the morning. He came up through the cellar- cap, and saw the man go up the street, but could give no description of his personal appearance. We think our merchants will have to resort to the old plan of securing their windows by means of shutters.

More mischief --The front windows of the stores of R L Dickinson, and P. K. White, have been broken within a few nights past, by persons whose only motive seems to have been mischief, for no robbery was committed in either instance. It is a pity that such as a should go unpunished, because the perpetrators cannot be discovered.

and immediately proceeded to make the necessary inquiries of the firm whose signatures were appended thereto. Ezekiel, finding that he had been imposed upon, and that the note was a forgery, immediately put the officers on his track, who soon after succeeded in arresting him. Several firms in this city have honored checks which have been forged and presented by this man, and the wonder is that he has not been detected before. Among those who have been victimized we have heard mentioned P. K. White, to the extent of $350, and Wm. H. Cox, on Franklin street, in the sum of $310. At his boarding house was found various articles of clothing, dry goods, &c., besides seven pieces of fine linen which had been taken from Messrs. Sumner & Arents, with whom he was a short time since engaged as clerk. Cheatham hails from Baltimore but we have been informed that he is from Goochland county, Va., and that he never has lived in the Monumental city. On his person was found several exemption pape

y responsible, and not suspecting anything wrong, he advanced the money and placed the check in the safe. The next day it was sent to the bank and pronounced a forgery. Mr. George J. Sumner, of the firm of Sumner & Arents, pronounced it a forgery, and on this charge Cheatwood was sent on to the Hustings Court, on Monday next. The second case examined into was a check for $315, on the Exchange Bank, also having the name of Sumner & Arents attached. Mr. William White, of the firm of P. K. White & Co., stated that the prisoner came to him late on the evening of the 10th of August, and represented that he had received the note from Messrs. Sumner & Arents too late to obtain the money, and it would be a great accommodation if he would cash it for him. He paid the money and discovered the next day it was a forgery; was positive as to the identify of Cheatwood. Mr. Sumner had no doubts about the signature being a forgery, and further examination was deferred to the Hustings Court, o
