Theft and foot Race.

--Yesterday morning, while the auction at Mr. E. S. Pleasants's was going on, a negro man named William, who says he is free, but was without proper papers, was seen to steal some articles which were lying loose, when he was taken in custody by Mr. P., and started for the watch-house; but, before getting there he broke loose and struck off at a full run up 17th to Broad street, where he turned, and continued till overtaken by a crowd of men and boys, who came to the assistance of Mr. P., and joined in the chase for about a half mile. After being captured he was taken to the lower watch house, where a search was instituted, when three knives, one tumbler, and $274.65, supposed to have been stolen, were found on his person.
