Daring and ertensipe ROBBERY Of the Null.


The great southern mail was robbed on
the night of the Cd inst. between Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, on its way to Washing
ton City. 1t contained the mail from this
city of the lst, and from Philadelphia of the
2d inst. A letter from Mr.. Chester jen-
nings, the mail agent, dated Philadelphia,
March 3D., says--"It is stated by the agent
from the general post. Office, that the mail
which arrived at Washington city on the
lst inst. had all the appearance OF safety,
but on opening it, the canvass bag, contain
ing all the great mail frem the east had
been cut nearly from end to end, and the
zvhoie mail from Philadelphia and east, was
missing


On the 28th Mr.. Allen, Broker, Of Phila-
delphia, (firm Of s. x VI. Allen, OF this city, }
deposited a considerable amount in Southern
notes and on the day following, by 10 or
half past 10 O'Clock, the notes were sold in
Philadelphia market; and what renders the
robbery mysterious is, that on the day that
the mail went, two of our respectable ciii-
zens went through to Baltimore. The rob
Der, or thiet, must have been an adept at
his vocation to have robbed the mail and
got back to Philadelphia the next day at 10
o'clock.


As yet, we have no further particulars OF
the extent of the robbery. Notice was how
ever, given to the landlords, brokers, &c. by
the interchangeable agents Of the Post-OIhce
il this city, and the Police put upon the alert
A description put upon the notes mailed BY
Mr. Allen, was put into the hands of the
Brokers, and in the course Of the forenoon,
person called at R. l.. Nevin's Wall street
and offered some of them for exchange
He was apprchended, carried before the
Police, and committed. We are not ac-
quainted with any further particulars.
