NAIL KOBBERY.-By postscript, from the
New York Mercantile Advertiser, we have further
accounts, by which it appears, that the great south
ern mail which left New York the ttoenty seuenth
ult has been robbed to an extent not yet ascertain
ed.


A letter from Mr.. Chester Baily, the Agent, da
ted at Philadelphia, Sd inst. states as follows: " You
will probably hear through different channels of an
extensive robbery of the Mail, between this city and
Washington 1t is stated by an agent OF the Gene
raj Post Office, that the mail which arrived al lash
ington on the first inst. had all the appearance of
safety, but on opening it, the canvass bag, contain
ing all the great mail from the East, had been cut
nearly from end to end, and the whole Mail from
Philadelphia and the East was gone. On the 28th
Mr.. Allen, broker, deposited considerable amount
of Southern notes in the Post Office of this city
on the following MOI ming, between 10 and half past
10 O'Clock, some OF the notes were sold in our
market.


Information of The above robbery reached New
York on FRIDAY morning, and list Of the notes de-
posted in the Post Office at Philadelphia by Messrs
S. x M. Allen, was LETT with the Brokers here
About IL clock the same day soe of the identi
cal notes were offered at the Office Of Mr.. H.
Neyins for exchange, by well dressed young man
about 90 years old, who calls his name Nichols He
was Immediately arrested and after underg DING an
examination, committed to Brideweli On his way
TO the Police Office, he made several desperate at
tempts to escape. A loaded pistol, and TWO knives
or di;ks were iound on his person.


We have reason to fear, that the amount lost will
be very great as we have heard Of several valuable
remittances in the mail of that day.
