M. on Thursday, the 29th, and the vessels separated—the Agamemnon and Valorous bound to Valencia, Ireland, and the Niagara and Gorgon for this place, where the latter .arrived yesterday : and this morning the end ot the cable will he landed.

(Signed,) Cyrus W. Field Fort Wayne, Sentinel tells a story of a squad of burglars in that town that rather heads any display ot impudence that we have read of lately. They attempted to break into the house of a Mr. Conyer on Monday night last, but were seen by a young man who lodged in the adjoining house, and was sitting at his window. He made a noise, showing that there was somebody about, and the rascals loft. On the next night he watched again, and again they cam« upon their rascally expedition, hut seeing him again abandoned r.: He then notified the family, and a watch was kept up every night. Ibis frustration ot their plans seems to have excited the scoundrels a good deal. I he next day he was notified by an anonymous letter that he was interfering in what did not concern him, and if he didn't stop it ue d get a bullet through his head. The night follow ng.t4iey came again, hut seeing the “watch” ready, they threw a brick-hat at the window in a friry of disappointment, whereto the “watch” retorted with several* | bullets from u revolver that scattered them, and it is hoped killed tome of them. Those burglars certainly possessed the virtueof perscverence.— Slate Journal
