SINGULAR DETECTION.
On Tuesday evening last, a gentleman was robbed in the Circus of one thousand dollars—a few hours afterwards, another gentleman returning home, met in the street a man greatly intoxicated, and who, after a short conversation, was found to have on his person $800 or $900. The latter gentleman, conceiving he would be serving a man who, in his conviviality, had gone farther perhaps than he intended who, in the condition he was then, run the risque of losing the money he had, determined on the benevolent purpose of conducting him to the watch house, and deposited the money with the captain of the guard:—Early the next morning, the gentleman who lost the money made application at the guard house, and identified the same as his property—and jolly Bacchus was lodged in jail, to await his trial at the next court of sessions for this district. We are informed the above person is just out of a seven years' apprenticeship, in the New York state prison.
