Receiving stolen Goods.

--Some facts have been developed which may lead to the detection of the thieves who burglariously entered and robbed, on Saturday night last, the store of J. J. Campbell & Co., on 12th st., between Main and Cary, of a large quantity of sugar, coffee, bacon, liquors, &c. The police, while searching the store of Mrs. Johanna McCarthy for stolen property, discovered stored away therein several bottles of liquor, having the Messrs Campbell's label pasted on the outside, besides a lot of sugar, coffee, meal, bacon, and a demijohn, which corresponds with that which was stolen.--The policemen who searched Mrs. McC's store say she claims to have had the bottles over two years; but Mr. James Campbell, one of the partners, asserts that the labels which were found on two of them have not been printed over two months. Finding herself in a hard place, Mrs. McC. denied the statement of the officers, and asserted that the two bottles with the labels on them were left at her store only a day or two ago, by a negro man whom she did not know; but that the unlabelled ones she had purchased some two years since from Mr. Tyler, a merchant, on Cary street. The Mayor, after hearing the evidence, sent the prisoner on to the Hustings Court for further examination. At the adjournment of the Court she had not obtained all.
