A correspondent writing from Genoa, on the let,
gives the following details of the extraordbiary
bank robbery already announced by telegraph :--
" This city has been thrown into the greatest ex-
citement by a robbery, perfectly unparalleled : for
its magnitude and audacity, which has just begin
committed on N. B. Parodi and Son, the we-
known bankers. To-day, at half-past one o'clock,
a band of armed men, about 20 in number, entered
K Parodi's bank, situated in Strada Moors, one
of the most frequented thoroughfares, and over-
powered and tied down to their desks all :the
clerks, who were seated in one large room with
their employers, these latter being treated in the
same manner ; and while some of the intruders field
their captives still with loaded pistols and drawn
knives held to their throats, the others coolly made a
clear sweep of all the notes and cash within retch.
The sum taken amounts to 736,000 E, Hamra Parodi
having unfortunately the habit of
arena. g their
balances on their own premises in aren to
depoeiting them at the Bank. Wh e the process
of rifling was going on two or three customers
happened to enter the bank, and were secured
and gagged by the burglars, who, after having
emptied out the tills and safes, left the office
quietly by twos andtirreee, in the same way as
they came, so as not to excite suspicion in the
streets. So complete was the success of the
whole manoeuvre that the alarm was not given
till some time after the last of the robbers 'had
disappeared, when one of the clerks succeeded
in freeing himself from his fastenings, and ran
out to inform the neighbours of the fact. It must be
understood that the office is situated on the top floor
of K. Parodi's palazzo, and quite at the back, so
that even if any of the clerks had had the time or
coinage to shout for help, their aim would pro-
bably have passed unnoticed. M. B. Parodi,:the
bead of the firm, is at present in the hands of his
medical attendant, his frame having suffered a
most /revere shock from the effect^ of the outrage,
and as he is old and feeble, it is feared that the oon-
sequenoes may be fatal. The police are of course
on the alert, and clumsy and dilatory as their pro-
ceedings generally are, yet in such a glaring mis-
demeanour as this it is to be expected that the
most strenuous measures will be taken for the
apprehension of the culprits."
