Lest our paragraph a few days since, remarking upon the delay in the completion, of tho sloop of war Albany, contrary to tho. expectation when she Was launched, might be doomed as intending to reflect upon Francis Grice, tho naval constructor at this station, we feel it duo to him to state that the delay has been caused by circumstances entirely beyond his control.

It lias occurred from tho execution of intervening orders from the department to fit out several other vescels and in consequence of the workmen having consequently having been wholly withdrawn, at different periods, irom the Albany, that vessel has been in hand longer than there was at first reason to suppose she would. She will however, now be completed shortly. The Rockaway Bukglarb. Wo neglected yesterday to state the result of the burglary at the cottage of President Fisko, at Rockaway. The three burglars, Wni.

Russcl, Win. Ray, und Francis Johnson, were severally convicted by tho Queens co. Oyer and Terminer ou Friday. Tho first two wero sentenced to 15 years each in the State Prison, and the latter, who pleaded guilty, to 5 years. The Herald of this morning contains somo additional particulars of tho robbery, from which it appears that they attempted to enter the room of Mr.

Grin nell, at the Rockawav Pavilion, but desisted on Mrs. G. becoming alarmed. They next commenced at the front door of Mr. Fiske's house, but finding that impracticable, hit upon the folllowing expedient for entering the second story window One posted himself against tho side of the house, and another got on his shoulders and scrambled in the oilier followed, whilo tho remaining one kept watch outside.

After entering the room where Mr. Fisk lay asleep, they listened and heard the ticking of two watches. Thcso and some clothes being portable, were immediately taken and passed down to the man below. They then effected their escape through the front part of the house, but not thinking themselves sulliciently remunerated for their industry they concluded to return to the same house and remove some silver ware that they had seen the night previous while taking observations. They accordingly returned to carry their purposo into effect.

Ammunition was soon furnished them, however, and on again approaching the boat, everything was quiet. No one of the Illinois volunteers was killed, and it was thought next morning, that Baker and Roberts would recover of their wounds. It was feared two privates in company C. were mortally wounded.

Aroi.LONiANs' Conceit. Wo insert tho following communication with pleasure Mr. Eoitor: On referring to your advertising columns, I find that those musical prodigies, the Apollonians, make their first appeal to the liberality of our citizens this evening iu various selections of some of the most celebrated composers. I can as sure your readers, that however much they may have been humbugged by the stereotyped puffs of musical adventurers, they will be gratified with these precocious artistes, for such they are.

The astonishing rapidity with which tho little Miss Cole, who is hut 9 years of age, fingers the piano is almost incredible, and tho efforts of Masters Cole and Bullock, ou both piano and violin are equally remarkable The little fellow who plays upon tho violinceilo, though not much bigger than his instrument, handles a manly how and marks tho notes with groat precision and taste. Let this little band of native artistes, then, meet with sufficient encouragement that they may be induced to give us one more concert before they leave us. V. Heavy train.

S. Smith, of the city of New York, has discovered, it is said, a method of raising excellen' potatos from the seeds of the ball of tho plant. About four years ago he planted the seeds of an ordinary plant, und obtained potatos about tho size of a pen. These he planted tho next year, with the seeds from their plants, and both yielded potatos of an increased size. Again, the third year, ho planted the second year's potatos and their seeds, and had the pleasure of gathering potatos largo enough for the table, of the finest flavor and texture and entirely free from tho rot, although planted alongside of those having the disease.

He finds that the potato raited fiom the seeds, iustoad of tho roots, is as hard and good iu tho i pring as when dug from the dr II. Jno. Mcllhenney, asking to be released from tho and moved that they be adopted and that the Chair county jail, where he has been incarcerated for the 'man and Clerk be authorized to issue them to indi past three weeks weeks in consequence of his in 'viduals in whoso favor hills wero passed by the ability to pay a fine imposed upon him by the Mil Hoard, and that tho Treasurer (when in funds) be nieipal Court for a violation of the excise law. This authorized to pay them. opposed by T.

G. elicited much debate, some of the members of the i. Bergen and Taylor, und advocated by Howland and U. opposing and otliers advocating tho petition. Lengthy speeches were made, some in vindication of the majesty of outraged laws others in tho assertion of abstract lmmun rights and several very good temperance discourses found eloquent utterance.

Alter an hour's exciting devotion to tho sub ject, it was disposed of by the passago of a resolu expressing the opinion of tho Board that the fine ought to be remitted, and authorising the Mayor to release Mcllhenney, ou condition that the costs bo paid.
