Burglarious robbery. --The tobacco factory of Messrs. Butler & Mathews, on Cary street, between Fifteenth and Seventeenth, was broken into on Wednesday night and robbed of eight boxes of manufactured tobacco. In the morning, about half-past 6 o'clock, four boxes of it was recovered by Mr. J. H. Franklin, formerly a city watchman, who discovered, as he was going through Exchange alley, a Federal soldier having in his possession a bag, which the fellow dropped upon seeing him. In this bag were three boxes of the stolen tobacco, and further on was one other box of the same lot. This portion of Messrs. Butler & Mathews's stolen tobacco has been returned to them. Robberies are of nightly occurrence, and we recommend to merchants the propriety of always having some one to sleep in their stores.
