0ekys AAc moneys
we out ths following from he St. Louis
Revielle of ths 20lh Ut. There i evident
" mistake ,in the name Of the person
robbed Il doubtless refers 70 Mr.. Bay
ara, late Recei, e. 1t FsirfelA in this Ter
ritory, and not to the Receiver asPalmyrs,
whose name il not Baird. Besides, Judge
Bayard y known to have passed down q
week Or ten days since to make his depos-
ite.


GaEAr RbssEAi.-tudge Baird, late
Receiver Of Public Moneys At Palmyra, on
the last downward trip Of the steamer Die
Vernon, had the bottom cf his trunk cut
out, and J6ts MousuAd dollars IN gold stolen
therefrom. He was on llis way down for
the purpose Of making deposite Of the
money which he had with him, amounting,
altogether, 70 ten thousand dollars in gold,
half Of which was placed in the till Of his
trunk, which. was left untouched and the
other half placed immediately in the bottom:
The trunk was enveloped in buffalo robe;
and the thief or thieves, after having cut
out the bottom and possessed themselves Of
Che money, undoubtedly aware that 1t was
90 situated, replaced the robe, and Judge
Baird knew nothing Of the robbery until
his arrival in this city. 1t is supposed that
the act was perpetrs4ed somewhere in the
vicinity Of Keckdk. Captain McDonough
is on the s'tfacis," and we shall probably
hear something further and more eatisfac-
tory in few day.


The Reporter Of. the 18th inst, which
has since come to hand, gives the following
additional particulars:

morning Of the 18th, to the Bank, where
