EXTRAORDINARY MAIL ROBBERy:

We are sorry to announce one of the most eilE7,
pensive robberies of the Mail that has occurred
inee the establishment of mail coaches—a Plan'
Which professed to give not only additional cele—
iity, but also perfect security to the conveyance of
Letters When the fact of the robbery reached
:lie Exchange yesterday,, it got into general cir-
:=ulation, and produced a considerable degree of
ilarm and agitation throughout the city. At an
'arly hour Mr. FFEELING, Secretary to the Ge-
leral Yost-Office, gave information at the Man-
ion-House, where the deposition of the guard
?vas taken. The examination was private ; of
:curse the particulars have not been suffered to
Tanspire, but we understand that on Monday
)igbt, while the Leeds mail-coach was proceeding-
it a sharp pace, between Kettering and Higham-
:errets, the coachman spoke to the guariP and •
tot hearing what he said in answer, Is-
/nested that be would lean forwards over
the coach. The guard did so, and continued
ibout five minutes in conversation with him,
tnd on resuming his seat, found, to his as-
onishment, that the lock of the lid of the hind
)art of the coach where the bags are deposited,
lad been forced. He instantly ordered the coach
Lo be stopped, and communicated- to the driver
he extraordinary occurrence that had taken place,
ind his suspicions that more serious injury had
)een sustained. The coach being pulled up, the
;bard and the coachmen proceeded to examine the
lepositary of the mails, and missed no less than
l 6 bags t The following may be depended upon
is a correct list of the missing bags:—
Leeds, Huddersfield, Melton Mow.brav,
Bradford, Nottingham, • Kettering, =';
Halifax, Chesterfield, Thrapston.
Mansfield, Sheffield, ()ali=' •
Barnsley, Rotherham, Uppingham.
Wakefield
•

The coachman also underwent a private exa-
uination, but for reasons that may occur -to the
'eader, the Solicitor of the Post Office has taken
he precaution of preventing any part of the exa-
ninatiou from being, made.. public this early
tape of a transaction involved in no ordinary
nystery.
In order to 'detect the guilty, irnd to' restore
lie property abstracted to, its owners, tue Lord
Mayor on the suggestion of the Solicitor of the
"ost Office, sent off Marshalinen and Police Of-
leers in all directions, to apprise the Binikets—in
Condon and Westminiter of the extensivb 'rob-
)ery, and to stop such persons as, should present
and drafts for payment, front the,towns
whose mails had not reached the Post-OffiaCyet-
erday morning ; ard[printed circulars were for-
yarded by post to every post. town in the United
Kingdom, for the same purpose.
It is to be hoped that the perpetrators of this
ystetuatic, rather than daring robbery, will-meet
I punishment commensurate with a crime which
las a tendency to shake public confidence, and
0 cramp -the mercantile intercourse of the coun-
ry,Upon which its stability and prosperity, as a
:oniincreial nation, su essentially depend.
It will perhaps be recollected, that a few years
[go the Leeds c0,:z..-h, in its progress from
own, was robbed near Barnet, but it being the
Tening of a Fast Day, there was scarcely. any
noney or remittances in the bags. On the pre-
ent occasion the amount is very greatr,—.4. :re-;
reed of 2001. has been offered by the Post Office,
—(See Advertisement in our first Page) ,;.,far, the
pprehension of any person concerned in the-rob-
'Cry.
