:. Many Of the facts respecting the recent un.
paralleed robbery Of the Bank in this town
we're developed in the course Of the examin


ations had last week before the Justice, and
the DISCLOSURES made elsewhere. Atpreseat,
we can give only some general statement OF
-shis most abominable transaction-which con-
sidering the great amount stolen, the ingenui-
ty displayed in procuring the necessary means,
and tie boldnes. Of execution, is unequaled
in the history Of villa ny in this country.


Il appears the robbery Of the Bank was
discovered early on Sunday evening, much
sooner than the robbers sxpecled. A per-
son going to Boston op Monday having
neglected totake bis money from The Bank
on Saturday, called on the Cashier on Sum
day evening, who consenting TO accom-
snodate him, went to the Bank for the pur-
pose; and on entering, discovered the
robbery. The Directors were Immediately
convened, warrants obtained, Blacksmith
and his workmeu, who had recently repaired
the lock of the vault, were arrested and COM
mitted for examination they, however, all
declared their innocence Of any concern in the
robbery, and it is now abundantly manifest
they had no knowledge of it.--Several boxes
containing specie were found that night m the
back yard of the bank, which the robbers
were unable TO remove the night be:ore--also,
canvass bag and small box, the latter OF
which appeared to have been used in black
smiths shop. In the bottom Of this box there
appeared to be casting sand. The bag and
box were preserved, as possibly they might
afford a clue TO the robbery. Early in the
morning the Founders were enquired OF if any
person had procured casting sand-and one
OF the journeymen recolectcd that 6 or 3
months since Daniel Money, among others,
bad borrowed hox Of it. 1t was also soon
knows that Manley procured a horse and
chaise about 8 o'clock on Sunday morning,
went on TO the wharf where his store was,
went into II tor moment, and then went out
Of town, and returned about 8 o'clock. He
was about The bank late on Saturday eve
ming these circumstances led to bis arrest
On Monday. Ia the course Of Manlsy,s eE-
animation on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, many circumstances were adduced to at
tach guilt TO him; and though il soon appear
ed the boz, supposed to contain casting sand,
was one used in removing ashes from an ad-
joining shop, and what was supposed to be
sand proved to be ashes partially wet, yet. it
led to the important enquiry OF the founders.
II subsequently, appeared that the canvass
bag found, T. which was left there BY tbe rob


bers, was for the purpose Of carrying The mon-
sy fromthe bank. This bag was shown TO
asilmaker, Mr., Powell, Who on examining


y was confident il was part Of a sail belong


'ogio a vessel 10 which Capt. Beyo'nsn Rolfe
mad beeo interested. This fact and other
