Posr orrrcr. CRY OF NEw YoRK,


November Is, ls45. )
To the Postmaster, Albany:

by the o'clock boat Presumng 1t contained as usua
bags ior Philadelphia and Washington and the mail matte
Tor Baltimore, have written to those Offices.


! have also communicated with the department a
Washington Respectfully yours,
ROBr. IL. MORRIS.
The mail here spoken of was taken to New York in
the Knickerbocker steamboat 1t was not IN charge
Of a mail agent, such officer being appointed
except for the mails carried in the five O'Clock
boat, which lands at all the river post offices :
not missed till of the 18th. We in
formed by the Posi- Master here that the whose
duty il is bring the mails TO the New York Post Office
states that he found the mail bags lying on the deck
OF the boat, the officer in whose room they we're
usually placed for safeguard, having retired to his
berth and len them on the deck. instead Of retain
ing them in his ROOM and delivering them to the post
onice porter when the boat arrived The pouch
spoken of in Mr. Morris letter was not among them
The boat reached New York at O'Clock in the morn
ing The mail must have been taken of in the interval
between the landing and the arrival of the porter from
to be- cannot tell but stands throws the
sonsbility for this affair upon the manageme Mt at the
other end of the route.


The mail was exceedingly valuable. The CONNER.
cal Bank had enclosed in 1t drafts to the amount OF
$4,000 the State Bank $40 oo0in all about Sl2000o
These in all instances we believe, drawn paya.
Die to order and forged endorsement will be necessary
before they be made available to the robbers


nc NO money, as far as yet ascerained, was lost


Ihe information OF the robbery came here so late as
orender unavailing all efforts for the recovery OF the
loss or the detection of its authors These efforts are
by Postmaster Morris, in New York.

be known. -.3i6ony -7tias, Nor 10.
