Robberies.

--The shoe store of W. E. Johnson & Co. was robbed on Friday night last of between two and three thousand dollars' worth of boots and shoes. As no locks or windows were broken, it is supposed that the thieves secreted themselves in the building and were fastened in without the knowledge of the proprietors.

A few nights since the store-room of George T. Moran, living in the western suburbs of the city, was broken into and robbed of about $2,500 worth of bacon. Officer John D. Perrin, having reason to suspect a negro fellow named Jordan, slave of Mrs Mary Hill, as one of the party connected with the theft, arrested him on Saturday and committed him for confinement in the second station house.

The hen house of Mr. John Pearce, keeper of the City Almshouse, was broken into on Saturday night and robbed of a number of fowls.
