Theft and arrest of the a ball given at the house of Henry Eldert in Hempstead on the 5th inst. two strangers lady and gentleman, or rather a thief and his wife, or one who was called so, were present. They came by the Long Island stage from the east, and on their departure a few articles of a lady's apparel were missed. The thieves were pursued and traced to a house in Monroe street, where the missing articles were found. The house also contained many articles of dry goods which looked as though they might have been stolen.

The lady of the house who sported a lap dog on the night of the ball, was handed over to the police. The man who called himself John Warner, her husband. happen. ed to be out, and thus escaped arrest. We hope he is by this time in the hands of the police.

Downing for public documents. WALLABOUT AND GOWANUS CANAL. No. IIII. SIR -I have discharged my duty to the city of Brooklyn, and demonstrated the necessity of a canal from the Gowanus to the Wallabout.

If the city delays to act upon the information contained the letters that have appeared in the columns of the Long Island Star, it will have betrayed its duty--not ignorantly, but knowingly; and if this wilful betrayal of duty should succeed in staying this work, let not the citizens of Brooklyn complain and remonstrate, when they are called upon contribute towards the remuneration to be given to the owners of every house that shall have been buried by the raising of the ground throughout the extensively altered districts that we shall be doomed to witness. Grades will be regradedregulations of streets and districts will be re- regulated, but we shall be no nigher to permanency then than now. A Ca. nal from the Wallabout to the Gowanus will be made. There are engineers of high grientific character resident within this city, to whom those persons are bound to appeal -if any such there be, who would still doubt this unreserved assertion.

It will then be made after an expenditure of more than present necessary cost. It will then be made when in addi. tion to this, it will require thrice as great a sum as would suf. fice to make it now. This is no subject upon which there can be a difference opinion---a demonstrated fact admits of none, whether I say "a Canal from the Wallabout to the Gowanus must be made," or affirm that "two and two must make four," are assertions which will be equally clear to all investigators, who have been so far benefitted by nature and education as to be able to count their fingers.

To our Common Council I would say at parting, before you take upon yourselves the responsibility of letting this mat. ter rest, remember you may make expensive that which might have been accomplished at little cost; you may for a time retard an inevitable result -you may impede the progress of this city towards prosperity, but you shall have neither the consolation nor the excuse that you did all this in ignorance." I am Sir, Your J. ROLFE. Brooklyn, Jan. 9th, 1837.

BROOKLYN LYCEUM. We rejoice that the exercises of this valuable institution have at length commenced for the season. Although we are fully satisfied that the Directors have done all in their pow. er, to hasten the time of this commencement, and that no blame whatever, attaches to them, for the lateness of the at which it takes place, yet there was certainly reason to fear that the public interest might be diverted to other subjects and the attention of the young, purticularly, might be drawn away, and engrossed by other pursuits and amusements, less rational and profitable, than those which the Lyceum is de. signed to afford.

The attendance on Thursday evening, was not calculated entirely to dispel this apprehension, and yet we annot but hope that the favorable report, which those who did attend, must cafty home, of the entertainments of the evening, will revive the public interest, and call forth a full attendance, at the future Lectures, The room itself, in its plan and structure, does much credit to the Committee, under whose direction the building was erected. It wouid, prob. ably, contain a thousand persons, with entire convenience, every one of whom, would be so situated, as to hear and see, with perfect ease, all the remarks and experiments of the Lecturer. We were particularly pleased to observe, that the stairways and outlets of the room, are so spacious and ample, as to afford a certain, safe, and expeditious retreat from the building, in case of accident or alarm. Indeed, the whole edifice, is a fine specimen of architecture, and an ornament to our city, and the Lecture-room is well adapted to the purpose growing for which it is designed, well lighted, and well provi.

ded with furniture. The Introductory Address, by Mr. Brink. erhoff, was neat and pertinent, and comprised, in the com. of a few paragraphs, all that was proper to be said, by one pass of the Directors, in behalf of himself and his associates.

The subject of the lecture of Mr. Perdicaris was announced to be the history and topography of Macedon. It did not call for any very learned, profound or original discussion, vet the performance was listened to with unmingled satisfaction by the audience. It afforded a fine opportunity to display the Lecturer's descriptive powers, of which he fully availed him. self, and with the most perfect success.

He seemed to trans. ing port his placed audience them in to one the of very the scene great of natural his remarks, amphitheatres of and hav. Greece, he appeared to be rather pointing out to beholders, than describing to hearers, the numerous objects of interest that crowded upon the views: at one time directing the at. tention to the depth of a ravine with its rough and perpendicular sides towering into the air, and crowned with frowning cliffs that beetled over the abyss beneath at another time remarking upon the picturesque appearance of a crystal stream gushing out from the side of a mountain, and tumbling and foaming to the plain below then turning to catch a glimpse of the blue brow" of the Egean Sea, through the lengthened vista; and tastefully dwelling upon the most prominent and attractive points and portions of the scenery, as they succes. sively presented themselves to.

The Turkish morning hymn, upon considered merely as a ceremony, cannot fail of producing a most thrilling effect upon all who engage in it, or to it. listen We sincerely hope that the course of Lectures, thus happily begun, will be fully sustained throughout the season, and that the Lyceum. being as it is, a City enterprise, will receive that countenance and support from the citizens of patronage, Brooklyn, which it richly deserves.

and what is their legitimate use They are meant to assist busi. ness, to encourage enterprise, to improve the general condi. tion of things. They are therefore important agents in the great operations of men. Their advantages have been scen and felt in many places, partica arly in this in which we live: But have they not their disadvantages! Undoubtedly.

They sometimes encourage men to adven. ture beyond their strength; men are too easily tempted by fa. cilities, and few know how to borrow discreetly. Regarded the the as a means of improving the face of Society they have done and will continue to do much. It is more questionable wheth.

er they add much to individual or general happiness. But is it not a great pleasure and a great convenience to be able to obtain upon credit the means of promoting one's busi. ness or enterprise It is often felt to be so, when hope is high, and the san. feelings give assurance of But a few short guine months pass over, and banks have sometimes too little consi. deration for temporary disappointments or hopes deferred.

A merciful creditor may withhold his mortgage or note, but banks Will grant renewals It may be or it may not be There is the uncertainty. The President may, as a man, be merciful; the Cashier as a be kind and indulgent, but there is the Board who man may have too often board heads and board hearts, and who do not like to be bored with mens' distresses. They coldly consi. der a man's credit, and when he most requires relief, his note is thrown out and he is left to the horrors. In what then may banks be improved In the exercise of a liberal spirit of kindness and forbear.

ance. Their officers should deliberate upon mens' feelings and character, and make account of their promises and pros. pects. I could speak of banks whose officers exercise all delicacy in these respects, and they are among the proper most flourishing institutions. Corporations (though legally said to have no soul) should exercise an enlarged benevo.

fence: By this policy they would do away many of the prejudices which exist aguinst them, and become more identified with the relief than the distresses of community. And as to stocks my principle is to go neck or nothing. patronize the bombasin. Whatever may be the case with money stocks, many of these stocks are always high, and the young men who wear them are continually looking up. In old times people mortified their legs in the stocks for stealing -in modern times men put their necks in the stocks for ion.
